stealing their thunder" In reply to
attacks made upon his agreement TO
the London accord, which was de-
nounced as insufficient in its prov s.

We cannot occupy the Ruhr now
under existing conditions, but If il is
necessary in the future we viii do It

This statement evoked the widest
applause from the senator's.
A few minutes later, when warned
by Gen Herscher that Germany was
not disarming, but was attempting to
camoufage her real mil tary strength,
the premier arose from the govern

GREEN MOUNTAIN HOME
CLOSED BY TRUSTEES
insufficient Number Of Students to
Warrant Continued Operation
of institution

Green Mountain Home, the horticul-
tural and agr cultural school founded
by Edward II Everett of Old Ben
Inington, completed its first year today.
The school year comes to an end
with the understanding that. unless
conditions at present unforeseen de-
yelop. the courses will not be re-
sumed
The school was founded for the pur.
pose Of establishing a free institution
for the education of the sons of men
who had served in the world war or
the descendants of men who had
served in the American armies and
nayies However, expectations that
there would be suff cient number of
applicants to justify the continued ex-
istence of the institution have not
been realized and the trustees have
taken the only course possible under
/ the conditions.
The boys who have been attending
the school during the last few months
left for their separate homes today.
Before leaving they were taken to
Burt Brothers clothing store and
thoroughly outftted in new suits and
| furn shngs. They were provided with
| transportation to their home and the
sum of 800 will at once be sent to
their parents or guardians in accord
ance with the agreement under which
| the boys became students. The boys
also took with them their uniforms
which they had worn while at the
school and the sheep-lined coats pro
vlded for winter weather
Before definitely dec ding to close
the school the secretary of the board
of trustees communicated in person
with national officials Of the Ameri-
can Legion and the G. A. R, who ad-
mitted that proper consideration had
not been given the institution which
| had been established for the benefit of
descendants of members Of these two
Organizations.
1t is matter of regret that the
trustees have found it necessary to
close the school, 1t must be evident
to anyone that the fundamental idea
in It's founding is one that should have
a far reaching significance. The
building, however, is in existence as
| is the organization and things may so
shape themselves in the not far dis.
tant future as to warrant the reopen
ing of the school
