The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-11-24

The Board OF Trade at Brattleboro ha.
evolved plan for the benefit of the citi
zens of Brattleboro, whereby public
meetings are to be held during the win
ter with addresses by men prominent in
various departments of state activity
For instance, it is proposed to have E. s
Brigham, state commissioner of agricul-
ture, NJ. B. Hillegas, state commissioner
of education, and j. w. Titcomb, state
fish and game commissioner, give talks
upon the particular line OF activity in
which each one is engaged, thus bringing
to the knowledge OF the people of the
community something of interest, if not
of practical value TO them. The idea is
splendid. The people OF Vermont can
never get too much information about
the working of the states administrative
machinery; and in proposing to assist in
the requirement of that information the
Board of Trade at Brattleboro is doing
a commendable thing. The only possible
objection would be the spread Of the de-
sire for addresses by these gentlemen TO
the extent that their regular routine Of
administrative work would be interfered
with; and yet there is little danger Of
such a popular clamor for information
as to encroach upon the officials time

MONTPELIER
Organ Recital Given Wednesday Evening
Was Event of Unusual Interest.

The Montpelier seminary organ recital
by Professor William Leonard Gray, as
sisted by Miss Marion Cheney Bickford
contralto, given at the Unitarian church,
Montpelier, on Wednesday evening, Nov.
%, was an event of unusual interest and
Importance among the music-loying peo-
! pie of the community. Professor Gray
interpreted the program, as he proceeded,
by verbal explanations regarding the
composers represented, the various forms
OF musical expression employed, and the
Importance OF the pipe organ as a musi-
cal instrument. Thr program was de-
signedly historical in character, present
ing representative periods and some OF
the greatest masters of musical art, both
early and modern. The first section OF
the program consisted of four numbers,
the "Passacaglio OF Frescobaldi" tl5s3-
l644) and a selection from Bach (l6s5-
1850 the "Toccata," Adagio and Fugue
in G notwithstanding with the some
what lighter 'lntermezzo" by Calaerts
(ls3S-l90l) and an "Idyll" by Kinder In
these numbers Professor Gray had an
opportunity to demonstrate to his audi
ence his complete mastery Of his tech
nique. Precision of touch, elegance of
tone production, supported by unusual
pedaling, served to bring out at their
very best all the qualities possessed by
his instrument
The second section of his program
opened with two numbers by Guilmant
(lS37 -l0lD, well known to American
audiences through his playing at the
worlds fair in Chicago and later These
two numbers were Sons les Bots" ar
ranged by Durand, and the Chant de
Matin." Then followed the sonata in
G Minor. the Adagio and Allegro Motto
by Durham ll853-l IN
this sonata and in the Fugue in c minor

and the purity of her tone

the list of such institutions viii be in

incidentally, the Medical college is to in

with the highest class of medical institu-

An odd claim for damages done by
deer has been made by man in Will
Jamestown, Mass, the circumstances be-
ing that a deer jumped on the forward
part of the mans automobile and caused
scratches and dents in the external part
of the vehicle to such an extent that
$ll4.50 was needed for repairs. The
claim is made under the state law which
allows damages done by deer to crops
and trees. The owner of the automobile
ought to count himself lucky to have
had such an experience and charge the
damages up to profit and loss, especially
as he killed the deer

TICKLIsH FOR NEUTRALs

Washington, Oct ll.-Allied war
ships now patrolling the Atlantic
coast in search OF the German subma-
rine U-53, which raided enemy mer-
chant shipping off Nantucket Sun
day, would be required to ascertain
the nationality of any submarine
sighted before attacking in the be-
lief that 1t was an enemy craft, ac-
cording to terms OF the latest United
States memorandum to the allied ma
tons, published today.
The memorandum was in reply to
the allies protest against the United
States granting the right Of entry
to American ports to either merchant
or war submarines of belligerent ma
tons.
Commenting on the allied powers
suggestion that it might be dangerous
to allow neutral submarines to visit
waters in which enemy submarines
also might be found, the American
memorandum asserts that RESPONSE
bility for any conflict that may arise
between belligerent warships and neu-
trail submarines must rest entirely
upon the negligent powers"
The United States represents that
the allies have failed to show reason
why belligerent submarines should be
denied entrance into neutral waters
and reserves the free right to deal
with such craft.

AMERICAN SEAS
ARE OPEN TO ALL
No Evidence Found That Ger
man Submarine Violated
International Law.
LANSING SEES PRESIDENT

Long Branch, ". j., Oct. III fcs-
ident Wilson and Secretary OF State
Lansing discussed in detail at Shad-
ow Lawn tonight German submarine
attacks on merchantmen Sunday off
the New England coast.
The conference lasted until late to-
night and will be continued tomor-
row morning.
1t was indicated by officials today
that facts so far collected through
governmental agencies have disclosed
no grounds for drastic action by the
United States government because OF
the attacks themselves. No evidence
has been found that international law
has been violated by the German sub
marine or submarines.
II was understood, however, that
the president and secretary discussed
the wisdom Of pointing out to Ger
many the inadv;sability of operating
its submarines in proximity to the
territorial waters Of the United
States.
Fraught with Danger.
Administration officials took the
position that the transferring Of SUBJ
marine warfare so close to America
shores was fraught with grave dan
ger because Of the possibility Of mis-
takes being made by submarine COM
manders. Reports that strong senti-
ment exists in Germany for the re-
sumption OF submarine warfare on a
broader scale caused some alarm
among officials.
The announcement OF Counselor
Polk OF the State department in
Washington today that the United
States will refuse to accept the con-
tention OF the entente allies that neu-
trails should deny the use OF their
harbors to all submarines, preceded
the arrival of Secretary Lansing here
The president and the secretary oil
state went over this point in connec.
ton with the discussion Of the entirs
issue.
Cited as Precedent.
In discussion OF the submarine at.
tacks Sunday, officials here referred
TO diplomatic correspondence be.
tween the United States and Great
Britain, beginning in 1914, in which
the American government protested
against the patroling Of the American
coast outside the three-mile limit by
British warships. This was pointed to
as providing precedent for the pro-
testing against the proximity Of Ger.
man submarines to the American
coast.
In the correspondence with Grea,
Britain, the United States took the
position that it always had main.
tanned, that patrolling by belligerenl
cruisers in CLOSE proximity" to port.
Of the United States was inconsistent
with the treatment TO be expected
from the vessels Of friendly power
in time of war. Great Britain did no.
admit the legal correctness OF the po
sition Of the United States, but prom

While no formal announcement wa.
