! In addition TO the merchant ships, 20
! fishing vessels of British register We're
sunk. II was also reported that during
/ the month 81 British merchant vessels
were unsuccessfully attacked by subma-
rines, as shown by reports on file with
the admiralty up to and including the
Ith of March
The figures show that the number of
merchant vessels of all nationalities over
100 tons each and exclusive of local or
fishing craft which arrived and departed
from British ports were as follows: YES
sells arrived, 0,463; vessels sailed, 9,l24;
total, 1857.

losses Of ships of Great Britain's allies or
those of neutral nations, which, the ad-
miralty stated, are not available. The

Indicative of the activity of Great
Britain in replacing the losses to her
merchant marine occasioned by the sub
marines and mines, il was officially stat
ed that at the present time more than
two million tons of shipping is on the
stocks in various shipyards, all in more
or less advanced stages of construction.

BRITISH MAKE NEW ATTACK
JUST NORTH OF PERONNE

Military operations of impor-
tance are taking place at two sec
tors of the Franco Belgian front.
The British have ended their ac-
tivities further south in the
Somme region, and Berlin to-day
reports an attack near Bouchayes-
mes, north of Peronne. This is de-
clared to have failed.
North of Verdun severe engage
ments are still in progress along
the line near Caurieres wood,
where inroads upon French posi-
tions we're recently made by the
Germans. Paris reported last
night the recapture of some ad-
vanced positions. An effort was
made by the crown princes troops
last night to retake these trenches
but the Paris report to-day de-
clares the attempt was futile.
On the Russian front in Galicia,
Berlin announces the repulse of
Russian night attack near Brzez-
any and the breakdown of an as
sault made by Russian contingents
in the Kelemen mountains near
the northern end of the Rumanian
front.

WILL STAY IN BALKANS.
Great Britain Has No Intention of Quit.
ting Saloniki.

| London, March 6.--Col. Winston Spen.
| Ger Churchill former first lord of the
admiralty, said in the House of Commons
yesterday that from the moment Bull
garia entered the war and Germany OBJ
tanned through route to Constantinople
it ought to have been obvious that the
size of the armies needed at Saloniki
to achieve decisive results exceeded the
carrying power at the disposal of Great
Britain. He added that British honor
was now involved, however, and the
question was exceedingly complex.
Replying to Col, CahiH and other
critics of the Saloniki expedition includ-
ing John Dillon, who asserted that Ru-
mania had been forced into the war by
England against her viii and against the
advice of Gen, Sarrail, the French COM
mander, and Russian generals, Andrew
Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer,
while refusing to reveal anything that
Germany would like to know, intimated
that the government had no intentions of
withdrawing the troops from Saloniki.
He said that England could not act in.
dependently and had to consult her al
lies. II the expedition were withdrawn
Greece would be open and the whole
Balkan peninsula would be in the hands
of the entente's enemies.
With regard to the demands for Sc
cret session of Parliament to discuss the
matter Mr.. Bonar Law declared the gov.
ernment could not frankly discuss the
expedition even in a secret session. The
allies now had common policy, the
main object OF which was to insure that
if their enemies advanced against them
the entente powers should not run the
risk they ran few months ago of be.
ing attacked from behind. No threats,
he asserted, we're used to induce Ruma-
MIA to enter the war.

By Keeping Down the Vote
in the Country Dis
tricts of Vermont
MARCH MEETING DAY
HAD PQ CONDITIONS
In T re the Voting Also
y as Light, Because
of Few Contests

Throughout Vermont the one general
| feature of interest about the annual
March meeting to-day was the local OPP
tion vote on the liquor ISSUE whether the
town or the city would vote to license
the sale of liquor or not. There were
local contests over the election of officers,
and in not few places there were spirit
ed clashes over policies; but the matter
of absorbing concern was the yes and no
vote. In each town or city the result
was awaited with marked interest, while
there also was great speculation over the
number of towns which should vote yes.
Last year there were % such towns.
The conditions of the weather end of
travelling to-day seemed to indicate that
a comparatively light vote would be east
especially in the smaller towns where
the voters had to travel long distances to
reach the voting places The heavy
snowstorm of yesterday, followed by a
high wind last night, served to make
many roads almost impossible. This
condition would have tendency perhaps
to increase the size of the yes vote in the
various towns, if not to increase the
number of towns returning majority
for that policy on the liquor question.
Here in Barre there was little excite,
ment over the election, due to the fact
that there were few contests and that
there was little prediction activity for
candidates or on the liquor issue. The
vote of year ago when Robert Gordon
was elected mayor was not likely to be
reached, there being l,70l votes cast on
the mayoralty in 1916. Eugene G. Glys
son and Fred W. Suitor fought it out
this year for the mayoralty, the former
being the nominee of the citizens caucus
and the latter, defeated in that caucus,
having filed nomination papers as the
labor candidate, There also was a con
test between AFRO L. Noyes, citizens
and T. j. Denning, independ
emit, for the position of assessor for three
years. There was only one ward contest,
that being in the fifth between Stefano
Rizzi and Antonio NJ Rossi for alder
man. the latter being the retiring aldtr
man from that ward and having been de-
feated in the caucus by Mr. Rizzi.
Last year when Barre voted for Ii
,ense, a excessive number of blank or
spoiled ballots were cast, being practi
ally one fifth of the entire number used.
License won by ia majority then, the
vote standing as follows: Yes, 73S; no,
524 blank or spoiled, 32l.
The license vote by wards was as fol-
ows in 1916:

LIGHT VOTE AT MONTPELIER
Absence of Contests Made Voters Some
what Apathetic.

The Montpelier city hall was opened to
voters at o'clock this morning, the
meeting being called to order by Mayor
Boutwell,, who but recently recovered
from an illness of several weeks dura
ton Three hours after the polls had
been opened, less than 200 voters had
registered, and it is generally predicted
that the vote will be light, due in part,
perhaps, to the heavy snowfall which
may keep many living on the outskirts
at home, and also due to the fact that
there are no contests for any city office,
the only issue being that of license. The
polls win close at O'Clock, when the
articles in the warning will be taken up
for disposition.

LITTLE SHORT OF REASONABLE
Is the Language of Resolution on SEN
ate's Blocking of Neutrality Bill.

| New York, March 6.--Resolutions con-
demning as 'little short Of treasona Bile"
the action of the senators who prevent
ed the armed neutrality measure from
coming to vote were passed at a mass
meeting held here last night under the
auspices of the American Rights league.
President Wilson was urged to exercise
his constitutional authority "for the
arming of American ships passing
through the barred zone insolently es.
tablished by the German decree"
The resolution declared that the sen
ators who opposed the armed neutrality
bill had "done what they could in the
present crisis to weaken the hands of
the American people and to strengthen
the hands of Germany"
The sinking of the Cunard line steam
ship Laconia and alleged plotting against
the national safety were characterized
as 'the crowning infamies of two years
of continuous warfare against the Amer
lean people"
Letters and kilograms were read from
many prominent persons, including for
mer President Roosevelt, Governor Whit
man and organizations of citizens in Chi
eago, Philadelphia and other cities. The
message of Col. Roosevelt said;
Il wish ! could be with you. The time
has come when it is objectionable for us
as nation to fail to act Immediately for
the full and effective defense of Ameri-
can rights and performance OF Ameri.
can duties"
Rev. Lyman Abbott in an address, as
serted that the people not only should
stand behind the president, but also be.
hind the army and navy "and demand
that the war go on until the enemies
that destroy the American ideals are en-
tirely eradicated"
Other speakers were George Haven
Putnam, president of the league; James
NJ. Beck and Rev. w. T. Manning, rector I
