that the other side is weakening and
faltering, until the readers OF the news
papers are hard put to it to determine
the real progress of the war. As for the
operations in France, however, the news-
paper correspondents agree, one and all,
that the German invasion at the outset
was very successful, until the line Of
march was brought perilously near the
city of Paris, after which the tide OF
battle turned in favor Of the allies and
the Germans retreated practically all the
distance they had traversed in French
territory, although they are still on the
soil OF France. Amid all the rumors and
apparent peryerson of facts on one side
or the other, those facts stand out prom
nently, and on those facts the students
of the war can bank for reliability
Nearly all the other details are more or
less clouded with uncertainty and it will
be necessary to wait until the unbiased
historian complies the facts before
correct understanding of all the features
of the war can be determined with as
surance of truth. Meanwhile it is UNI
fortunate that the newspaper reading
public of the world is compelled to pick
out that which seems reasonable from
the ruck OF dispatches that are being
sent broadcast, some of them doubtless
inspired by high authority. Indeed, it
would almost seem that the business OF
transmitting messages for the news
papers had been taken entirely out OF
the hands of the men and women who
are trained in newspaper making and
who heretofore have been depended upon
to give accurate portrayal Of the daily
doings. Were the transmission of the
reports of the war entirely conhded to
newspaper workers, there is no doubt
that the world would have a more ac'
curate idea OF what is going on than it
is privileged to have at the present time.
The average newspaper worker would
have too much pride in his work delib-
erately to send out falsehoods, false
hoods that would be uncovered just as
soon as the war were to be completed.

The success Of the children's fair under
the direction of the Barre Woman's club
last week should encourage the sponsors
OF the movement, as well as the exhibit
ors to make another effort along a sim

afforded the children to demonstrate the
results of their prowess furnishes an in
centive to them to expend their energies
in practical work, whether gardening
fancy work, poultry raising or whatever
the line of endeavor may be included
within the scope of the exhibition. Prac
teal work of this sort is fine training
for the young people of Barre as ulti-

years, and in addition it diverts their
attention to certain extent from the

will be valuable training. The exhibit

The fact that motor vehicles attempt

accidents should be classified it would be
found that a large percentage of the ia
tslities are comprised in this class This
indicates that greater restriction ought
TO be exercised in cases Of this sort
Such restriction should not include the
complete stopping Of motor vehicles bur
rather the reduction Of speed TO such
minimum that the driver can bring his
vehicle TO a dead halt when passing q

the same time the warning signal should
be sounded at frequent intervals. II
this method Of procedure were to be
adopted. we are confident that the acct

eliminated and the streets would h.
made much safer for persons who ride
