AMERICAN
FIELD or HONOR
Where American Dead Shall Remain
Buried 0verseas--Bishop Brent
Writes Explanatory
Letter.

Washington, d. G., Jan. ID. Bishop
Charles H. Brent, senior chaplain with
the American expeditionary forces in
France, has addressed an open letter to
Secretary Baker and the next OF kin OF
the American dead in France regarding
the return of the bodies Of American
soldiers who fell overseas. The letter
was made public to-day by the Amer.
ican Field of Honor association, which
is opposing the movement for the
wholesale return of the bodies and fol-
lows charges presented in the Senate
and House that the movement is being
fostered hy nndertakers for their per-
sonal profit
America, 2 wrote Bishop Brent, has
left TO the decision Of the nearest Of
kin in each case what the final resting
place of our dead is to be- whether in
France or in this country. No one viii
dispute the right of parent or wife to
claim the fuifillment of the promise
made bv the American government TO
return to America the bodies of our
dead soldiers. But it is conceivable
that there are those who, after learning
Of the plan TO establish and maintain in
France an American field Of honor for
those who are forever overseas, may
consider this the more excellent way.
"A bill to incorporate the movement
has already been presented to Congress
and il to be introduced shortly There
will Be an American central field Of hon.
or with as many departments as may
be necessary Here each year on an
appointed day commemoration OF the
dead will be observed. Over all the
sheltering folds of the Stars and Stripes

Those of us who have given for
more than a wear careful consideration
to the American field Of honor are
moved by a single minded purpose. u
is the work Of love carried through by
a sense Of reyerenw for that sacred
dust which. though mingled with the

VERMONT TOWNS
FACE BANKRUPTCY
Gov. Clement Declares That Three.
Fifths of Them Will Be in Finan-
cial Difficulties in 1921 I'M
less Economy Inter
yeueg

Burlington, Jan. l5.--Three-ffths of
the small towns in the state are threat :
ened with bankruptcy before the end
OF 1920, according to Governor Perci-
val w. Clement, in an address last
evening before the 50th annual Dairy
mems and 9th annual Sugarmakers'
conventions in combined session here.
You should impress upon your rep
resentatives4 in the legislature OF 1921,
said Governor Clement, the fact that
probably three -fifths of the towns in
the state will be in financial difficulties
before the end OF the year and that the
state revenue from known sources VIII
probably be less rather than greater.
Absolute economy must be observed if
our towns are 10 continue as solvent
units OF great corporation.
The keynote of Governor Clement =
address was economy in state finances
and in the finances of the small towns
who were threatened with serious
financial conditions during the coming
year.
Owing to the piling up Of appro-
priations. after March meeting, in the
legislature last year, a great many
towns. in fact. believe. a majority Of
towns. failed to appropriate the neces
ssry 10 cents, the result being that
they had to borrow money IN order to
pay their bills.
When we consider the small amount
Of taxable property and the absolute
necessity of increasing the pay ot
teachers, for instance, the increasing
cost of doing highway work, etc. 4 will
be seen that the problem of meeting
the cost OF doing business and paying
the state tax in many Vermont towns
is going to be very serious during the
coming year Some OF them will have
70 appropriate not only the 40 cents
necessary to pay the state tax, but
enough more to make up what they
borrowed last year.

During Three Years.

Chicago, Jan. l5.-The number of
school teachers who have abandoned
the profession because of low wages
has increased 40 per cent in the last
three years, according to a survey Of
trade conditions in Chicago by teach
ers, made public to-day.
School teachers work under 25year
handicap on the basis of lifetime's
earnings" the report says.
"The average teacher will have to
live TO be 20 before her total earnings
amount to as much as a plumber can
make by the time he is 40.
. Blacksmiths, soda clerks, shoe clerks
and chauffeurs would, under their pres
ent wages, have earned as much at 40
as the school teacher would have earned
at 52
"The teachers salary is almost equal
to that. of janitOrs, teamsters and iaun-
dresses"
