CAMPAIGN STARTS THURSDAY.
To Raise Barre's Quota of American Red
Cross War Fund.

At meeting called for tomorrow
at the Aldrieh public library, the local
campaign TO secure Barre's quota of the
American Red Cross war fund OF $780,
100000 will be launched.
DIR. Joe w. jackson, representing the
Barre unit of the Red Cross, returned
to-day from the meeting held yesterday
at Burlington where instructions were
given the 200 delegates as to the proper
manner in which TO run the campaign.
He reports an enthusiastic assembly.
The quota for the state of Vermont
will amount to 100000, and Barre, with
her population, will be expected to raise
proportionate amount. The actual
campaign is to start throughout the state
on next Monday and the S200, 900 is to
be raised within the week if possible.
There has been little time TO plan a
statewide canvass but the delegates to
the meeting of the Vermont chapter at
Burlington have returned to their local
branches enthused and prepared TO in
iect little of that enthusiasm into their
various units. DR.. Jackson states that
the campaign in Barre viii be conducted
in a manner similar to the method en-
HitNtA NAc iaNo+
years ago.
The American Red Cross makes three
urgent appeals. First, hospital and med
ical equipment to supplement that Of the
army and medical department equal to
any emergency. Equipment TO care for
/ 100000 ought TO be provided for at
once. Secondly, recreation and rest ia
cilities behind the firing lines. Ameri-
cans on leave. unlike the French and
British, cannot return to their homes.
Club rooms, sport supplies, books and
other means of recreation must be sent 1
them from America. Lastly, personal
comfort kits and small articles not in /
rluded in army regulations. Many thous-
ands Of articles. from toothbrushes TO l
writing paper. pipes. etc. are needed 4

not be brought along.
The Liberty bond campaign will close

iict or interfere with the progress of

interlopers about TO leave the premises.

kitchen indicated that the quartet had
partsken of his wine. So he telephened

CONSTANTINE
GAVE UP THRONE
Forced by Entente Allies to Abdicate,
and the Crown Prince Was Denied the
Succession, Prince Alexander, Sec
ond Son, Being Selected.

Athens, June l3, via Paris.--The fall
of Constantine |, king of the Hellenes
has come. In response to the demand
of the protecting powers, France, Great
Britain and Russia, ne abdicated yester-
day in favor of his second son, Prince
Alexander.
This climax in the affairs of Greece
was brought about through the agency
of the French senator, NJ. Jonnart, who
has held posts in several French cabinets
and who arrived at Athens only day or
two ago on special mission as the rep
resentative of France, Great Britain and
Russia. NJ. Jonnart had previously Wis
tied Saloniki and other points, and he
lost no time in getting into conference
with the Greek premier, Alexander Zai-
mis-. The demands of the powers re-
specting the abdication of King Constan-
tine also specifically eliminated Crown
Prince George as his successor, the crown
prince being included among those
Greeks in official life who were consid-
cred strongly pro-German.
Both the former king and Prince
George, it was announced yesterday by
Premier Zaimis, intend to leave the coun-
try Immediately. 1t is reported that
they will embark on a British warship
and proceed to Switzerland by way of
Italy. II is presumed that Prince Alex
ander will take up his kingly duties with
full acceptation of the idea which the
protecting powers desire to put into eff
feet in the government of Greece during
the present war. He is "a years of age
and has been free from snti-entente pro-
,ilvities.

FELCH MURDER
CASE NEXT WEEK
AT CHELSEA
A Great Deal of Interest is Being Aroused
in Companion Case to Otis Will
liams' Tried Last Year.

With the reconvening of Orange coun-
ty court in Chelsea Monday, after a
recess of week. Judge +. NJ. Butler
presided at hearing in minor state
case, the first of three cases to be
decided before the climax of the crimi-
nal docket is reached next Monday.
There is a large attendance at this, the
June term of court, and while there are
plenty of people who are present either
as principals or witnesses, the interest
OF the larger number centers around the
approaching trial of Mrs. Anna Felch of
Topsham, who is charged with murder
in the first degree for alleged completely
in causing the death of her husband, Jo-
seph Felch, at Waits River on the eve Of
Easter Sunday in April, 1916.
Already the forces that are to figure
in what promises to be one of the most
absorbing murder trials in the annals of
Orange county are gathering at the court
house. Judge Butler will preside at the
trial and the prosecution is to be in
charge of Atty General H. G. Barber
of Brattleboro and States Attorney
John G. Sherburne of Randolph. The
woman respondent is to be defended by
r. N. Harvey of Montpelier and +. A.
Hoar of Barre.
The case will be called at 2 o'clock
on the afternoon of Monday, June Is.
Then will commence the tedious and
painstaking task of drawing a jury. Be-
cause of the interest created in the case
last year, when Otis Williams was tried
and convicted of completely in the muir
der of Felch, it will be manifestly diff
cult undertaking to find IL men in the
county who are qualified for jury duty.
To make the task of choosing an i'm
partial jury without too much delay an
extra panel of 40 men has been called
from the west side of the county. There
is a possibility that counsel for the de-
fense may ask for a change of venue.
This is possibility, not a probability |
There is strong likelihood that the trial,
once the jury has been selected, will pro-
ceed smoothly and those who are fa- |
miliar with the Williams trial will not |
be surprised if the trial of the woman
is of shorter duration.
Mrs. Feleh, who has with her an in
iant daughter, born last November, is a |
prisoner in the county Jail, where she
has been closely guarded for more than
! year. Williams, the young farmland,
who, the state alleged, assisted in plot
ing and bringing about the death OF
Felch, is serving a life sentence in the
tate prison at Windsor. His wife and
laughter are living with relatives in
iroton. Exceptions taken by counsel
or Williams in the June. 1916, term were
lot carried to supreme court. Both Mrs.
'elch and Williams We're indicted for al
eyed murder in the first degree at the
anne sitting of the grand jury in the
pring of last year.

By That Time.

Won Heydebrand had asked the admir-.
