Increased Arsenic Production.

The year 1915 saw another increase in
the output of white arsenic, and the es-
timated production for the IL months
is reported by the United States geo
logical survey to have been 5,l95 tons
(of 1000 poundsl with value at the
smelters of two cents pound or a to-
tai of S207, 7S0. The estimate by Frank
L. Hess is based on the known produc
ton for the first 10 months of the year
and the outputs during the months
of November and December. This out
put is an increase of more than IL per
cent over the 1914 production and %
per cent over the 1918 output.
All white arsenic made in this country
is a by-produet in the smelling and re-
filming of the non-ferrous metals, and
naturally the larger part is saved at the
western plants. The demand Is far be-
low the possible production, which could
probably be made treble or quadruple
the present output if prices were sufli-
GENTLY encouraged.
The largest uses for arsenic are in the
OF insecticides. such as
paris green. lead srsenate, etc; in glass
and as a weed killer. Small
quantities are used in shot, medicine
and dyes.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
Pavilion Theatre.

| After the mastery presentation by
the Harrison DuFrayne Players yester.
terday of "a Wife of Honor" with its
lights and shadows of city life, comes
the wonderful play Of society, "A Won
ans Way" with all the thrills and at.
mosphere of New England life. 1t is a
New England play, of course, but it is
more than that in the sense in which So
ciety plays are generally accepted. This
story is powerful and gripping one, APP
pealing rather for its tense love scenes
and pathos than for its melodramatic
situations.
Matinee viii start at o'clock. with
motion pictures until o'clock and then
the Harrison DuFrayne Players viii pre-
sent that great New England society
play, "A Womans Way
If careful preparation, conscientious
work and an extreme endeavor to please,
both on the part of the management
and the company, is deserving of recog-
milton, the Harrison DuFrayne Players
are worthy OF large patronage on their
final performance. The prices for this
wonderful play, Toe for children and zoe
for adults. In conjunction with the
play and motion pictures, thre will be
four new vaudeville specialties.
Harrison-DuFrayne Players say: MAY
He crown your lives with happiness and
success for the New Year, aud farewell
to the people Of Barre. ADV.

Bloody Folly.

The Dardanelles campaign, which ex-
cited first wonder and then doubt be-
came a forlorn hope some six months
ago. That it has been abandoned by
the allies is not surprising, and least
of all to the Turks and Germans, who
cannot understand the British persist
ency.
| The fighting at the Dardanelles straits
carried the biggest possibilities of the
whole war Paris might have fallen,
London might have been invaded, and
still there would have been less stir in
European events than as though that
ancient and history. sheckered town Of
Constantinople had fallen prize to Brit
ish guns.
But there is no new thing to be said
in the course of raving over Constantine
pies potential influence upon world his
tory. In this war there are many, many
big accidents that almost happened.
Conceived in spirit of braggadocio,
for its influence upon the greedy Rus
sian government, and adapted to the ex-
igencies of English domestic politics by
the theatrie mind that has so recently
been removed from British councils, the
Dardanelles campaign amounted to a
colossal fizzle. Winston Spencer Church
ills expedition to the gates of Constan-
tinople has resulted not only in the
bloodiest romance of the war, but it is
undeniably the most bowling disaster
that has ever befell the British arms.
The failure was due to the straying of
versatile, but erratic, intellect. The
adventure might have come to almost |
any of the other nations, including our
own, where domestic politics is consid |
cred a brighter career than technical
training.
There are $4,000 British graves on Gal
lipoli The French losses have not been
estimated. Five British warships and
two French ships, besides numerous
smaller vessels, are gone. And the re-
ward is nothing.
Troops released from the Dardanelles
may be of use elsewhere. There
is no battlefield where they could be
sacrificed as wretchedly as on that strip
Of shellraked territory in the Mediter-
ranean. Boston Journal.

WAS NOT A JOKE.
When American with German Name
Heard Shot Whistle Across Ship


Heard Shot Whistle Across Ship
San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. How it
| felt to be an American citizen with a
distinctly German name aboard one of
the steamers of the Porto Rico line re-
Gently searched by the French cruiser
Descartes was described to-day by C..
| l.. Schiiferdecker, one of the passengers
on the steamer San Juan, from which
two German passengers were taken pris-
oners
Schifferdecker was born in New York,
his father being American cit
izen and his mother English He is a
dentist and up to year ago was prac-
ticing at 70 Warren street, Boston. For
the past year he has been travelling for
his health.
Eve had heard on the San Juan that
a wireless message had been received
warning Capt. Evans to get in close to
shore and stay within the three mile
limit in order to avoid being searched
by French cruiser" said Schitferdeck
err There were several of us with Ger
man names aboard and the captain
laughed when he said that in few
hours later we might be prisoners of
war.
when we heard a cannon shot short
ly before midnight, we knew that the
wireless message was not a joke, and
when our steamer had stopped and a
French officer and escort came aboard
and / saw that the sailors were armed
/ commenced TO think about my name.
There was my name in the passenger |
list with fourteen letters in its, sticking |
out like lighthouse. Nobody could
miss it. Yes, I'm an American alright, |
but then there's my name.
Il think they must have a regulation /
list with fourteen letters in it, sticking /

If left his money behind and carried his
umbrella with him. And / couldn't help
1ut think it was funny when the Off
,er told the two prisoners not to worry.
"'You'll be among friends, he said"
Schifferdecker said that he had noe
een either William Gutherodt or Fritsch
Lothar, the two Germans who were
AIKEN prisoners, at any time during the
'oyage from New Orleans until just be-
ore they were taken prisoners by the
french officer.

Wheu Madame Wanda made her in

self royal favorite, but she played to

able lady returns and bids fair to
eclipse her previous success Wanda,
like good wine, seems to improve with
age. Unassuming and demure off the
stage, at the moment she becomes seated
upon the platform seems to be guided by
some compelling force much stronger
than herself. At one moment rearing
and prancing like some wild unbroken
horse OF the prairie, in an instant al

as she pours out words of sympathy to
some heart broken mother over an crring

PROSPERITY UNDER LOCAL OPTION

has prospered under local option perhaps not
directly because of the law but it is fact that the state
has gone forward instead of backward.
Some of the friends of the old prohbtory law declared
that the state would backward that the farms would
be abandoned and the money the banks would else
where Nothing of the kind happened under the local
option law.
On the contrary the savings banks show that the people
Of the state have prospered and that the amount money
saved against rainy day has steadily greater
On June 80 1915, the savings banks and trust compa-
mics of the state showed deposits amounting to S95469
1923 1902 the last year of statewide
prohibition, of $534S22 27.7s, yearly average in
crease of S4,45665232.
In the year 1915 the savings banks and trust compa
MES paid into the state treasury in taxes $685. In
1902 the last year under prohibition this tax only
$272,440.05. 1t true that the state laws had been
amended meanwhile, but the fact that business of the
savings banks and trust companies had increased enough
to stand this tax is significant
Possibly local option only affected this situation ndi
recty, but with the discarding of obsolete and dis
credited law, other good laws enacted.
The history of Vermont for the past II has been
of steady progress. Why return to condition which
reaction?

BOXING SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-BAsEBALL

There will be something stirring in
the baseball world today, with the
main doings before Federal Judge
Lands. Attorneys for the Baltimore
Feds will appear and tell how their
clients stand on this baseball peace
talk. The Baltimore people have been
entirely left out, and they don't like
it.
There is also a report loose that
Roger Bresnahan will appear and tell
a lot of things he knows about base
ball, its politics and peculiar ramifca-
TONS AS a lieutenant of Charley
Murphy, and a veteran Of the game
in many cities, Roger could probably
tell an interesting story, but there is
little likelihood that he will do so I'M
less pushed too far.
Time after time Bresnahan has in
! dictated his loyalty to the organized
game. When the Federals were
doing business Roger had several OPP
portunities to throw in his lot with
them, with his money guaranteed,
but he refused to desert and break his
! contract.
Having so acted, he now says he
wants organized baseball to go fifty
fifty with him and respect the con-
tract which he holds. His position is
practically impregnable and he can
force the issue on his own terms.
Arthur Staff was the individual
star at the ice derby of the Northwest
