BIG REDUCTION
IN BRITISH LOSS
TO SUBMARINES
Only Twenty Steamers Were Sunk Last
Week--Eleven Fishing Schooners
Were Lost-Eixteen Ships
Eluded Enemy.

London, July 5.-The weekly shipping
summary issued yesterday shows Is Brit.
ish merchant ships of more than 600
tons were sunk and five vessels of less
than that tonnage. Eleven fishing yes
sells also were lost. The summary:
Arrivals, 2,745; sailings, 2,,S46.
British merchant ships sunk by mines
or submarines over LOGO tons, fifteen;
under 800 tons, five.
British merchant ships unsuecessfully
attacked, including five previously, six
teen.
British fishing vessels sunk. eleven.
Forecasts that the summary of British
shipping losses by submarines and mines
covering last week would show the small
est number of sinkings in many weeks
verified by the actual figures The total
of 20 merchant ships sunk compares with
2s the previous week and 80 for each
Of the two weeks preceding.
The probable heavy falling off in ton
mage sent to the bottom is emphasized
by the fact that, in contrast with the Is
vessels of more than 1900 tons now re-
ported sunk, the sinking of 81 vessels
in this class was announced last week,
81 the week previous and 22 the week
before that.

FUSILLADE BY TOY PISTOLS
Was Extent of Barre's Celebration of
Independence Day.

Barre's observance OF the Fourth yes,
| terday was almost a dead ringer in many
respects for the manner of marking the
day before the epoch making declaration
was signed in l776. Ii enough play be
given the imagination, one may fancy
that Barre as the heart OF primeval
forest was quite as lively as the Barre
that slumbered through the most peace
full independence day in years. Except
| for the scarcely audible detonation of
pistol caps, the noise was confined to a
vawn. Even on the night before there
was next to nothing doing and for very
large majority of folks who usually
count on wakeful night, sleep contin-
ued its regular business of knitting up
the raveled sleeve OF care all along the
beat.
Only the carnival at the Berlin street
grounds was in progress aud there most
of the energy of the celebrators was
centered. The police department had
an extra detail OF men abroad, but their
services were not needed, for disturb
ances were conspicuously absent. Church
bells were left to their loneliness and
even the bonfire usually built just north
of Granite street was omitted. In the
West Second street meadow youngsters
kindled a lively blaze, but it was kept
within bounds and died natural death
when the celebrators grew weary Of rust
ling dry goods boxes, fence remnants
and packing cases. 1t was quiet night
for the police, but the firemen, who new.
er relax their vigilance between July
and July we're even more out of the
little excitement there was to be found.
Not call was received at the fire sta
tion, All day yesterday the quiet was
Sabbath like and last night there was
absence of fireworks.
Credit for much of the safety and sane
ness which marked the Fourth in Barre
goes to the city council and to the police
as we'll as to dealers, who eo.operated
with the city government in eliminating
the use OF frecrackers and fireworks.
And to young America, who strove so
nobly and vet so vainly to exc out real

CLOSE CARNIVAL AS PRECAUTIoN
Against Outbreak of Infantile Paralysis
in Barre.

Additional precautions against infan-
tile paralysis as ordered by the board OF
health arrested the progress of the ltal-
ian carnival on Berlin street at midnight
and to-day the announcement was made
that the big show would show no more.
BY fits and starts the health department
has moved against the carnival folk.
Late Tuesday night an order authoriz-
ing the closing of the carnival was Is
sued, only to be recalled within an hour.
All day yesterday the carnival flour
ished, but after a meeting of the health
board it became known that the hours OF
the entertainment affair were short. The
order calling for a complete cessation of
activities on the Berlin street grounds
became known last evening, and to-day
there was a hurried pulling of stakes.
Promoters of the carnival are somewhat
caustic in their criticism of the authori-
ties and several telling points are made
by them in presenting their case.
Contrary to a rising 1900 rumors,
there is no infantile paralysis in Barre.
