IRA c. CALEFS SECOND
GIFT is RECEIVED
Endowment Fund of Barre City Hospital
Gets $4,000, Which Washington
Man Promised When the
Building Was Completed.

When the people of Barre and outlying
districts met the conditions of Ira G.
Calef's offer of $4,000 for a new hospital
building, provided they raised 100000 to
add to the building fund, Mr.. Calef made
a second offer of $4,000 for an endow-
ment fund, to be paid when the building
was ready for occupancy. II is expected
that the new structure on Washington
street will be ready TO move into by
Aug. |, and, anticipating the completion
of the hospital, Mr.. Calef made over to
the hospital trustees to-day his endow-
ment Of $4,000, the income only to be
used towards the maintenance of the
institution.
With the Elizabeth Smith fund of ST.
600, which was left the hospital by the
late John +. Smith, the new institution
starts off with total endowment of
sll 900. Work is being rushed on the
completion of the work, and the new
equipment is being received and unload
ed at the building. Appreciation of the
generous gifts of Mr.. Calef, both toward
the construction of the building and
toward provisions for continuing its i'm
portant work, is keenly felt by the peo-
pie of Barre and vicinity, as manifested.
by frequent expressions on all sides.

EDISON ACCEPTS POST.
Will Head Board of American Navy In
ventors.

West Orange, N. j., July l3.--Thoma,
A. Edison has accepted an invitation
from Secretary Daniels to head an ad
visory board OF civilian inventors for .
bureau of invention and development tc
be created in the navy department.
| Mr.. Daniels idea of utilizing the in.
yentive genius of Americans in and out
of military service to meet conditions OF
warfare shown in the conflict on land
and sea in Europe is outlined In letter
written last Wednesday, asking Mr.. Edi-
son, whether as patriotic service to his
country, he would undertake the advis-
ing of the proposed bureau. The plan is
to have several men prominent in special
lines of inventive research associated in
the work
Among the great problems to be laid
before the investigators the secretary
mentioned submarine warfare, adding
that he felt sure that with Mr.. Edison's
wonderful brain to help the men and Off
GERS of the navy would be able "to meet
this new danger with new devices that
will assure peace to our country by their
effectiveness"
Il have been intending for some time,n
Mr.. Daniels said in his letter ito write
you expressing my admiration at the
splendid and patriotic attitude You have
taken as reported In the public press in
refusing to devote your great inventive
genius to warfare subjects except at the
call of your own country. Such an at
titude in these all too commercial times.
il one that should be an inspiration to
our young men and lesson in the pre-
eminent right of ones country to the
best that its citizens have that will be
of tremendous benefit to us all"
In Announcing last night that he would
gladly accept Secretary Daniels invita-.
tion. Mr.. Edison said that he believed
the proposal OF such Importance that IL
should be attended 10 at once while the
war in Europe was bringing before tho
Tmbie the Importance of encouraging and
developing ideas and inventions Of Amer
leans. especially officers and men of the
army and navy.
"The United States Is far behind In
these matters" said Mr.. Edison. Il be-
Iieve ii is highly important for a board
II civilians made up Of engineers from |
he leading industries TO he formed for
he purpose OF looking into the feasibil.
fv of IDEAS developed by Young men. |
While ideas that will be submitted may
rot be feasible. az least they will have
he benefit OF expert Judgment and ad.
vice.
"In addition to the advisory board Of
Engineers would also suggest de-
'artment of experimentation. where
deas might be tried out. The cost would
,e nominal. Only a few acres of land
would be required with proper buildings
nd a corps Of efficient men calculated
o carry out experiments under direction
( those suggesting them after they have
'een approved
1T i an important matter and should
e put under way az once. The Euro.
ean war has served to draw attention
o the fact that many American ideas
nd inventions have been allowed 10 slip
y and II this matter is put of until the ,
rar Is over, there is danger Of IL being .
orgotten."

Lively Engagements on the
East Prussian Frontier
Reported
} GERMANS ATTEMPT
NEW DRIVE IN WEST
Kings Of Greece, Rumania
and Bulgaria Will Soon
Meet in Conference

There are signs Of renewed activity by
The Teutcnic forces along the eastern
fighting front. Petrograd officially re-
ports lively engagements along the East
Prussian front in the Bobr and Narew
regions and further to the southwest
between the Pisa and Rosoga rivers
There also has been fighting in the
/ Przasnysz region along the line north
of Warsaw. South of Warsaw only
sporadic actions have occurred, but from
eastern Galicia, where quiet has pre-
vailed for some time, Teutonic attacks
along the Zlota, Lipa and Dneister are
reported. The upper Bug is also the
scene of renewed fighting.
Coincident with this news come re-
ports through Petrograd that Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen's army, strongly
reinforced, will soon resume active oper-
ations.
The resumption of heavy assaults by
the Germans in the Woevre region in
France is interpreted in Paris to mean
that the failure of the recent attempt
TO break through to Verdun via Argonne
is being followed by a similar effort in
this new direction.
According to an Athens dispatch to
London newspaper, the kings of Greece,
Rumania and Bulgaria are soon to meet
in conference at Athens. The attitude
of Rumania toward the two groups of
belligerents is again widely discussed.
According to the statements by corre-
spondents on the side of the entente
alliance, she has been given a month to
accept or reject Austria's offer of terri
torial compensation for active military
assistance or friendly. neutrality. An
other report says Bulgaria and Turkey
have reached deadlock in negotiations
on account of the refusal of Sofia to do
more than preserve a friendly neutrality
in return for territorial compensations
from Constantinople.

INTERNED SHIPS
ARE THREATENED
German Ships in Boston Harbor Are Said
To Be the Object of Possible
Attack, and Watch Is
Kept.

Boston, July l3.-An intimation that
an attempt may be made to blow up
the new custom house tower and the
German ships interned here was con-
tanned in an anonymous communication
received by Superintendent Crowley OF
the Boston police department and trans.
mitted by him to Edmund Billings, col
lector Of the port The letter, which is
written in legible hand writing, said
Watch the interned ships in connec-
tion with the Holt incident. Guard the
customhouse tower. Yours truly, An
American on Guard"
Superintendent Crowley thought the
letter came from a crank at first, but
did not wish to take any chances. For
some weeks the interned German ships
have been under the eyes of customs
officers night and day.
