mend the granting of special

handful of Mexican government forces
occupied the town, Gen. G.. Figueroa, Gen.
Garcia and Col. Riojas having gone out
Sunday night to engage Villa com

Fifty of the government forces of rs
men in 0jinaga succeeded in escaping

RED CROSS TENTS.
Placed About Barre for Purpose of En-
listing in Red Cross.

Tent stations FOR the enrolment of
Red Cross members were established at
three points along Barrels main street
yesterday and the registrations of the
day were described by the committee
last night as extremely gratifying.
Around 100 new members enlisted in
stations located on the west side of City
park, on the bank lot just south of De-
pot square and in front of Mrs. Susan
NJ. Chandler's home on South Main
street. Women who enrolled in the Red
Cross before the present campaign be-
gan were in charge Of the tents and con-
tinued at their posts to-day. The tent
stations will remain open until 8 o'clock
tonight.
By intensive campaign methods it is
expected that Barres quota of 1900
members. as a part of the 10000 to be
enrolled in Vermont, will have been real
lied within a few days. Some new and
convincing methods Of emphasizing the
great need of members may be used be-
fort the week Is over and something in
the nature of canvass may be adopted
to supplement the work which is being
done so we'll in the tent stations IL
has resolved itself into question OF
whether Vermont, and particularly
Barre, is going to stand back of its fight
ing men at the front. To furnish its
quota 10000 new members must be re-
cruited and here in Barre it is hoped
that men, women and children will pay
their dollar and thus lend their patriotic
support to great service. Each person
receives Red Cross badge as
a receipt.
Thereare three tent stations where
one may conveniently join and other
places where blanks may be filled and
badges received are: All drug stores in
the city, the city clerks office, the Balti-
more restaurant, Reynolds g. Co.'s store
