HEAVY GUNS
ARE HEARD
OFF MAINE
WARS EFFECT IN BARRE.
Flour and Sugar Go Up in Price-Charles
Pamperl's Friends Anxious.

Since the war clouds began to lowe
over the continent of Europe, clos,
friends of Charles Pamperl, principal o
the Barre evening drawing school, have
! felt some concern for him. Prin. Pam
perl is one of thousands of American
vacationists who went to Europe early
in the season. The drawing master was
granted leave of absence last spring
and his departure was dated around
March 80. In company with a number
of other educators, he planned to spend
a part of his time in studying the school
system in Germany. He was registered
in the university town Of Bonn for
eral weeks, but later communication "a
dicate that he planned to pass the ~
ter part of the summer at his native
town, Gratz, in Austria. A card received
here by a faculty member of the draw
ing school only few weeks ago was
postmarked Gratz
AT that time Mr.. Psmperl planned to
leave Austria for America in the latter
part of August and expected to reach
Barre in time for the reopenng Of the
drawing school sessions. His friends
here anticipate advices from him in the
near future. So far as can be learned
his last letter to Barre people was ad-
dressed before most people the principal
probably included, had even dreamed OF
hostilities on the continent. Ere now
a good many tourists who were no fur
ther inland than Paris have experienced
considerable difficulty in getting pas
sage to England, so it is assumed that
Mr. Pamperl may be compelled to post
pone his departure from Austria.
War is the sole topic of conversation
in Barre as elsewhere just now and it
may be interesting to note that the ef
fects of great European conflict are
not lost on communities so remote from
the scene nf strife as this city. Flour
has jumped 50 cents barrel in most
retail establishments and there are pros
poets that the jump viii be greater.
Dealers say it is almost impossible to
get -four quotations from milling houses
and elevators and the few who have
quoted prices announce an advance of
81 per barrel. In some local stores the
price remains the same, although ma
ority of dealers are asking more for
.he commodity Sugar has gone up
ew points and dealers aseribe the
.hange to the war. There is also noted |
IN appreciable increase in the market |
'riees of feed stuffs, dealers report.
Lines of sympathy for the eontending |
lations are sharply drawn in Barre Be-
ause majority of the population is Of |
cosmopolitan character about everyone
Who has anything to say on conditions |
eross the big water is emphatically |
to one or the other of two
ides in the controversy Twice yester-
ay news dealers sold every paper con-
aiming late bulletins on the war.

LUSITANIA RELIED

Cunard liner Lusitania sailed this
morning ON what promised to be
record breaking trip to Liverpool Ger
man and French cruisers are known to
be only short distance off the coast.
While hoping to escape capture by her
speed, the Lusitania's captain said he
expected TO meet British cruisers off Fire
Island to act as convoy to Newfound-
land, where other British vessels would
accompany her to the Irish coast.
Another German liner whose where-
abouts had been a mystery, the Kaiser
Wilhelm, arrived this morning. Nothing
has been heard OF the North German
liner kronprinz Wilhelm since she left
New York last Monday. The ship was
bound for Bremen under orders from
Germany. She carried big supply of

In New York to-day there are $1,000

HOSTILE WARSHIPS
>'VED NEAR
,NMs
1t Is Probable That Efforts
Were Made to Capture
One Or More of the Trans
Atlantic Liners-Lusi-
tania Left New York To-
day

Portland, Me-, Aug. 5.The firing of
heavy guns off the Maine coast was
heard this morning. Eight or ten shots
within two minutes were heard by the
Portland observatory and the harbor
forts. The second was twenty or thirty
miles southeast of Portland. German
and British warships are believed to be
in the vicinity.
The theory that the firing was by
warships is discredited by officers at the
Portsmouth navy yard, who feel certain
that no foreign warships are off the
Maine coast.

And pray to hav~ Z home that 10 beau.

The sun that glitters all tho day long,
With prairie birds sweet notes Of song.

Oh! Give to mo an old farm home,
do not care tho world to roam,
Oh! Give to me kind help-mate,
With country love to never fade.
To bless that old farm home,
To share oil trouble and all Joy.
This will come perhaps upmessurud
To our old farm home.
