SCJtANTON, PA JULY 26, 1920. Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts, will be formally notified of his nomination, as the Republican candidate for Vice President, at Northampton tomorrow. Judge Maxey, of this city, is a member of the notification committee. To Enforce School Attendance. From State College comes the announcement that W.

N. Dennison, head of the attendance bureau of the Stats Department of Public Instruction, declares that he will insist, upon a more strict observance of the compulsory education law in Pennsylvania. Recently The Republican reprinted an article from a Honesdale newspaper setting forth the fact that failure to enforce the attendance law had made it necessary to close a number of schools in Wayne County. Apparently similar conditions exist in other parts of the state, although not in Scranton. "Beginning this Mr.

Dennison says, "each teacher and county superintendent will be required to make monthly at tendance reports to the state department. These re ports will be classified and graded and offending districts will be properly punished. Children of the required age positively must attend school in the future. The attendance laws of Pennsylvania have not been enforced for twenty five years." This statement from a state official will come as a check to the people of the commonwealth, most of whom ha 3 no idea that such conditions were permitted to exist, i In the interests of the children of the state, who are supposed to be among the best educated in the land, there must be a better and more general enforcement of the laws governing attendance at the public schools. In his declaration that "Justice not Force" must prevail in international affairs so far as this country is cencsrnei, Senator Harding 'embodies the American antidote to Article of the League covennat.

The New United States Army. Under the provisions of the Army Reorganization bill almost revolutionary changes are taking place in the military establishment of the United States. Of" fleers say that it will require several months to complete this work. The regular army will include 295,000 officers and men, scattered all over the country and in insular possessions, but this will be supplemented by the National Guard, which has also been mustered in the Federal service. When completed the Guard will have a strsngth of 440,000 officers and men.

There will be a reserve force, the strength of which has not yet been figured out. The number will depend solely upon the enlistment of eligible. One of the provisions of the reorganization bill is that the head of the militia bureau of the War Department, shall be a National Guard officer not 'below the rank of major who will receive the pay and allowances of a major general in the regular army. From auch in officer the National Guard is expected to receive sympathetic and absolutely fair treatment. The new army bill provides for 17,000 commissioned officers and to obtain this number about 7,000 reserve and temporary officers have been retained in the service.

Under the new regulations it is believed that this nstion will be safeguarded in case of any emergency. direct question to Candidate Oox, asking whether he is "wet or dry," still remains unanswered, and thus far William J. Bryan has not congratulated the Democrantic candidate on his nomination for President. Remarkable Electric Storm The most remarkable electric storm which the region has experienced since the cloudburst of six or seveni years ago, did great damage in this and adjacent counties on" Saturday morning. Even those who felt that the storm was extremely severe, did' not realize the great damage caused by lightning 'and high water until reports were in from all the surrounding country.

Damage was not confined to the washed out tracks of the steam and electric roads to the bridges swerit away by floods, to the cellars which were flooded, and to the highways which now are in need of costly repairs. The wind, jbhr 'high waters, and the hail which accompanied the storm, are said to have done consider able injury to the "crops of the region, the sum total of which is large, but which may not reach the dimensions of ths early estimates. One of the sufferers from this extraordinary storm is. the City of Scranton, which could use to good ad. el i vintage ia other way the wony whleh will natr have to be devoted to repair of the highwaya 1 The Party of Ptogresi, In this year's campaign the Republican party stands for substantial Progress.

It is the party of reconstruction on the basis of national security, and it advocates development alone orderly lines. 1 Unless the fundamental principles upon which this republic rests are preserved no real progress is possible. Under our form of government every man's rights are entitled to respect. It is our duty, therefore, to safeguard these basic principles since they are the very foundations of our government. Human experience teaches nothing better than to: ''Hold fast that which is good." Our advancement in order to be permanent, must be along the read laid out by the foumiwi of our country's freedom, and we will make better headway by the steady light of the Constitution, than by the lightnings of ultra radicalism which disregard the Organic Law and dally with dangerous and destructive doctrines.

The American idea of progress has for its inspira tion the things that make for human happiness. These are home, country and lberty, regulated by law." With us it is held that "the home is the cornerstone of the It is the theory of Bolshevism that those who advocate the sanctity of the home are not progressive but reactionary. Russia is now undergoing a test of the theory that is heading for chaos and its experience is a warning, not an example, for the, rest of the world. Progress that counts and for which the Republican party contends in this year's campaign, means Ameri canism first of all as opposed to internationalism. It means industrial freedom with full protection for the rights of employer and employed; the settlement of wage differences by amicable agreement, without resort to destructive strikes or lockouts; the substitution of arbitration for intimidation in the adjustment of dis putes; the encouragement of production, and the dis couragement of profiteering, to the end that a man's earnings may yield him and his family a proper support.

With a great productive nation like ours, rich in minerals and in harvests, and splendidly endowed with the intelligence necessary to make the most of our opportunities, there is no reason why we should be dazzled by false lights on any foreign shore or permit ourselves to be swayed by economic heresies which under the guise of an unlicensed liberty lead to disaster, American progress means adherence to the cardinal principles enunciated at the beginning of this republic. Like a mighty river they have broadened with the passing years. They have not been obliterated but made more distinct by "Time's iron and their perpetuation means the continued glory of our country as the home of happiness for man. To this constructive progress which has made our nation great and strong, without entangling alliances, the. Republican party and its candidates, Harding and Coolidge, stand committed in this year's great campaign.

Peace Talk Between Russia and Poland. London advices report that the Russian Soviet Government has given orders to the supreme command of the Red army to effect an armistice with the Polish military command for the purpose of arranging for future peace between Russia and Poland. It is stated that this actior, on the part of Russia "brings in sight a possible solution of one of the most serious crises which Europe as a whole, and the allied nations in particular, have had to face" since the con clusion of the armistice with Germany in 1918. The menacing onset of the Soviet armies on the borders of Poland, and the German frontier, has given ttjjjch cause for anxiety, and hastened the decision of the Spa conference in favor of taking steps to effect peace between Russia end Poland, if possible. Prime Minister Lloyd George, on behalf of Great Britain, took a leading part to secure the armistice, between the Russian and Polish forces.

The negotiations in behalf of ending hostilities are delayed by a hitch on the place of meeting to Con sider peace pourparlers. The Poles desire a confer ence near the battle line, and the Russians insist that it be held at seme point far removed from the scene of conflict. The important phase of the situation is that peace is under discusson, and that it is strongly favored by the Allies in the interest of Europe's political future. 4 Not Wanted In Congress Fight From Washington comes the interesting statement that the Democratic chieftains, in outlining the strategy of their campaign, made no provision for the President "playing even a minor role in his party's Congressional campaign." I In adopting this course the solons of the party are mindful of what occurred 'two years ago' when the President appealed to the country to elect a Democratic Congret to support him. What happened the smashing reverse that gave both houses of Congres to the Republicans everyone knows.

The Democratic managers recognize the un popularity of the Wilson administration, so that if the President injects himself into the Congressiomi elections it will be on his own initiative and not by invitation. In fact the Democrats seem to be feverishly anxious to have the voters forget the blundering appeal the President made in the Congressional battle of 1918. According to consular reports the shortage of transportation facilities is the only thing that prevents a record breaking emigration from Europe to the United States. One consul ia quoted as stating that were it not for emigration restrictions and dearth of accommodations fully a million and half Europeans would soon be on their way to America. The Railroad Situation There is reason to believe that the railroad situation in this1 country will be helped greatly by the decision of all the brotherhoods, except the Telegraphers, to accept the wage awards of the Labor Board.

From many sources have 'come expressions showing that the' public regards as fair, the substantial increases allowed the men, a large percentage of were manifestly underpaid. Pay advances have removed the causes for the outlaw strikes and the Brotherhoods have pledged their utmost aid in ending them. With all the railway workers back in their places the transportation situation should improve at once. The deciding race between the American yacht, Resolute, and the British sloop, Shamrock IV, is scheduled for today. The result is awaited with keen hv terest, not only by the jolly tars of Gotham, but by landlubbers as well.

Today's contest will tell whether the America's sup will remain on this side of' the Atlantic or become a Lipton trophy. RANTON ftEPUBtlCAtf JULY .28. 1920 STROLLER'S K0TE BOOK notice that at the Hewley convention of the United Sportsmen of Penn. sylvanla David Prichard. of Scranton.

The Greeks assigned 50,000 men to the occupation of Thrace ana 90.000 to the campaign In Asia Minor. They have apparently finished their work in Asia by gaining control of the land awarded to them.
