WOMEN ARE QUALIFIED.
To Have the Ballot, Declares Secretary
McAdoo.

Washington, d. G., Oct. 2a.--Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo last night is.
used statement asserting his belief
that women are qualified for the ballot
and expressing the hope that they Eauld
get it in New York, McAdoo said
The time has come when suffrage
should be given to the women of Amer
lea. II should be given promptly; it
should be given ungrudgingly; it should
be given gladly. The women of the Unit
ed States have in every way, especially
since this war has broken out, shown
themselves qualified for the right of suf
frage,
"When America emerges from this
war as she will with enhanced prestige
and responsibilities to the whole world
and men alike, must, upon a per
feet equality so far as their civil status
is concerned, work out the momentois
problems of the future as equal psEtnI's.
1T is my earnest kspe that the great
state of New York will take the lead
among the states of the east in doing
Justice to its women The constitution
II amendment to be voted upon Novem-
Der 6 should be adopted. If New York
sets such an example TO the country of
ust and progressive action it will not
be long before women realize the hene-
its of full citizenship in every state of
he union"

HOLD UP REPORT
0NLIBERTY LOAN
Although 1t Is Thought That
the Maximum Was
\ Reached
NO DEFINITE RESULT
UNTIL THURSDAY
Several Districts Are Well
Above the Maxi
mum

Washington, d. G., Oct. 29.-Furthel
figures showing the Liberty loan sub
scription totals, the treasury department
announced to-day, will not be made pub
lie here until Thursday. The decision
was reached when it became apparent
that the federal reserve banks would be
unable to make more than approximate
returns before then.
Returns received at the treasury to-
day gave little indication as to the final
result" the department announced last
night. "On the face of the returns it
cannot be said whether the sale exceeded
$4,000, 900 900. Conviction is general,
however, that it probably approximated
the maximum total. Banks of course,
have made no effort to tabulate all their
returns and may not do so till the final
day for reporting, Nov. |. Obviously
great changes may be made in the total
between now and Thursday.
1T seems certain that every district
has gone well past its minimum and that
several will exceed their maximums suf-
to carry the weaker districts to
the high mark in the general total"

OW4RDICE CHARGE
OFFICIALLY WITHDRAWN
Italian War Office Had Issued New State
ment Concerning Italian Defeat
on the Julian Front.

Rome, Oct 2S delayed The Italian
war Office has issued an amended version
of the official statement issued early to-
day. As amended, the first sentence
reads, "The violence of attack and fail
ure to resist on the part of some of the
units forming our second army allowed
the Austro- German forces to break into
our left wing on the Julian front" This
version eliminates the words, (which in
cowardice retired without fighting or
surrendered to the enemy"
The first announcement was as fol-
lows:
"The failure to resist on the part of
some of the units forming our second
army which in cowardice retired without
fighting or surrendered to the enemy, al
lowed the Austro German forces to break
into our left wing on the Julian front.
The valiant efforts of other troops did
not enable them to prevent the enemy
from advancing into the sacred soil of
our fatherland. We are now withdraw
ing our line according to the plan pre-
pared All stores and depots in the evac-
uated places were destroyed.
"The record of many memorable bat
ties fought with success by our brave
soldiers during the two and one half
years Of war is sufficient to assure the
commander in chief that the army to-
which the honor and safety of the coun
try are confided will know how to fulfill
its duty"

BARRE SUBSCRIBED
S4O4,90O FOR LIBERTY
Final Rush Swept the Subscriptions Far
Past the Minimum Saturday Night
Banks Largely Responsible
for the Success.

With a final boost that sent its sub
scription to 100000, or away beyond
the quota for this city, Barre emerged
from another Liberty loan campaign Sat
lirday night with record that speaks
volumes for the patriotic response of its
people and the citizens of nearby towns.
Returns obtained to-day from the four
banks of Barre which took the initiative
in promoting the campaign locally, in
dicate that this district swept past the
quota some time Saturday afternoon and
topped the 100000 mark in the evening.
The banks remained open for Liberty
bond business throughout the afternoon
and a part of the evening, and it was
well that they did, for the llth-h
subscriptions were numerous, and the de-
mand for bonds continued right up to the
moments were the doors closed
Gloom over the possibility that Barre
would not repeat its achievement of the
first Liberty loan gave way to undis-
guised satisfaction among the bankers
Saturday night, when the returns showed
that their days and weeks of intensive
effort had met with tangible results.
To-day if there is anyone in this vicin-
fault of the banks nor of the canvassers,
who conducted a community drive last
Tuesday, which netted more than $685.

First, allow yourself ample time TO

weeks if your publicity is to reach the
surrounding country.
Second make it absolutely clear that
you do not ask for cash, only for dis
carded bits of jewelry or silver. In every
announcement or newspaper item sent
out, emphasize the sentence, We want
no money, just scraps of gold and silver.
This makes your enterprise unique and

given all they can afford in cash
A treasure and trinket committee

A SILVER THIMBLE FUND"
Has Been Started in Barre to Aid Red
Cross Week.

A recent London periodical printed an
article telling of lady in England who
pricked her finger owing to her thimble
being worn out As she saw the drop of
blood, she began to speculate on how
many similar instances there were at
home and at the front and she at once
started a silver thimble fund, which has
raised over f26,000, more than $l25, 900.
A Barre woman has offered our Red
Cross several old pieces of silver to start
such a fund here, to be used for the pur-
chase of materials for surgical dressings,
hospital garments, etc. Such gifts may
be left with w. C. Johnson, cashier of
the Peoples National bank, who is the
new chairman of the finance committee,
or they may be left at the homes of any
of the Red Cross officials.
This plan has been tried in several
places and brought good returns. Such
old articles of gold and silver are-of no
value to the owners and if taken to the
jeweler who buys for the metal which
they contain would bring very little to
each one, but in the large numbers as
sembled by the Red Cross they amount
to splendid sums and are of great help
in carrying forward its work.
The Barre Red Cross is very gratified
to the patriotic Barre lady who called
attention to this movement by her gift,
and feels sure that there will be many
who will gladly follow her example. Old
silver thmbles. old broken spoons and |
,ther silver tableware and old iewelry |
Ill pass through the melting pot and
BRING good coin to buy supplies for our
Ioldiers.

WILSON APPEALS FOR
FOOD CONSERVATION
Asks Every Home and Public Eating
Place to Pledge Support to the
Food Administration.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 29.-President
Wilson in a statement issued yesterday
urged every home and public eating place
in the United States to pledge its sup
port to the food administration and tc
comply with its requests. His appeal
marked the inauguration of family en-
rolment week, during which everybody
in the country will be asked to become
member of the food administration in
order to assure nationwide cooperation
| in food conservation. ).
| The president said that in no other
way than through this cooperation CT
the people can the nation accomplish its
object in the war. The statement fol-
lows:
"The chief part of the burden of find
ing food supplies for the peoples associ-
ated with us in war falls for the present
upon the American people and the drain
upon supplies on such scale necessary
affects the prices of our necessaries of
life.
Our country, however, is blessed with
an abundance of foodZuifs, and if our
people win economic in their use of
food, providently confning themselves
to the quantities required for the main
tenance of health and strength; if they
will eliminate waste; and if they viii
make use of those commodities of which
we have a surplus and thus free for ex-
port larger proportion of those required
by the world now dependent upon us,
we shall not only be able to accomplish
our obligations to them but we shall OBJ
tain and establish reasonable prices at
home. TO provide an adequate supply of
food, both for our own soldiers on the
other side of the seas and for the civil |
and the armies of the allies |
is one of our first and foremost obliga- |
tions; for if we are to maintain their |

solution of our food problems, therefore,
IS dependent upon the individual service

'ort in this direction under nv direc-
ion offers an opportunity of service in

II, and by which every individual may
erve his own people and the peoples of

we cannot accomplish our objects in
his great war without sacrifice and de-
'otion, and in no direction can that sacri-
Ice and devotion be shown more than
