MAY REFUSE YACHT FOR KAISER.
Government Rallying All Its Forces To
Prevent Defeat of Appropriation.

Berlin. April 20. The risk of the re-
lection by the imperial Parliament OF
an appropriation Of s2,500.o0o to build
new yacht for Emperor William is so
great that an urgent summons has been
sent to all "loyal' deputies to be pres
ent in force when the matter comes
up for debate.
The Socialists, it is understood in
tend to demand rollcall on the third
reading of the appropriation when the
Poles, the Danes, the Alsatians and many
of the southern German members of
the clerical center party have announced
their intention of voting against the ex-
penditure. 1t is pointed out by the gov
ernment that only in the event of a
full house being assembled can the pas
sage of the appropriation be assured.

WATER DEPT.
WANTSAN AUTO
Pron,, v N.on to Purchase Ma
.SsSNlle Now Before Barre
Aldermen
MATTER REFERRED TO
WATER COMMITTEE
1t Is Said That the Inexpen-
sive Buick Car Is Fa-
vored

The water committee of the Barre
board of aldermen has under considera-
ton the need and necessity of purchase
ing an auto truck for the city water
department. This matter was referred
to this committee at the last meeting
of the board
1t is claimed that the department has
so much teaming to do, or will have this
summer, when necessary repairs are to
be made to the upper and old reservoir
on the Orange brook. that a truck could
be used to advantage carting cement to
Orange and transporting workmen up
and back.
The idea advanced is not to buy an
expen:ive truck--the Buick has been
mentioned. 1t is stated that Buick
truck can be purchased for 81 $50 and
that the horse now used by the water
department can be turned in for $3.50,
making a necessary outlay of only 81
900.
The matter of purchase was discussed
at some length at the last meeting
Of the board of aldermen. but no action
further than referring the proposition
to the water committee was taken at
that time. This committee has not vet
met to consider what report it will
make in the matter, but it may pos
sibly meet before the next regular meet
ing of the aldermen.

Townsend Favors Publicity for the Re-
publicans.

Washington. April 20. Senator Town
send OF Michigan, one of the most ac'
tive of the regular Republicans in the
Senate, is sounding his fellow senators
as well as members of the House on a
proposition for the Republican congress
sional committee TO open a publicity bu-
reau at once and prepare for the cam
paign of 1914. He urges that the cause
of Republican organization will be for
warded by this means and he believes
that the regulars should take a mill
tant leading part in the work. Repre-
sentative James r. Mann, the minority
leader in the House, however is some
what sceptical of the advisability of tax
ing so important step at such an early
date. His idea is that if the Democrats
are given enough rope they will hang
themselves. At any rate, the subject
of Republican progress is rapidly assum-
ing very practical form and it will be
surprising ii the session advances much
further without definite forward action.
