the purpose of giving those who are 20

sary that they have. The advisory
board called in several lsymen as well
as attorneys from the different parts or
the state. .-.-..,...
The laymen attending the meeting
were W. +. Jones of Waitsfield, Jacob
Bates of Moretown, c. S. Dana of Wood
bury and ID. p. Town of Plainfeld. The
meeting was called to order in the grand
jury room, but it was found that this
was too small and the adjournment to
the court room occurred.
Nearly all the attorneys in the county
were present. The questiannaires in whicl
there are is pages, were placed before
the men and they were advised relative
to the disposition of these and how to
help out the registrants.
These persons help out the registrants

they get any pay for their time it will
not reimburse them for. the time lost.

BLAMED A GERMAN
And This Theory Says Naval Magazine
at Halifax Blew Up.

Boston, Dee. s.-A report that naval
magazine blew up, precipitsting the Hal.
flax disaster, and that the body of a
dead German was found near the maga-
zine, was brought TO this city last night
by A. Goldberg, a button merchant of
New York, who was in the first party of
refugees to reach here from the shat
tered city.
The information came to Goldberg in
a roundabout way, but from apparently
authentic sources. He got the story
first, he stated, from a railroad official.
who said it was given him by a member
of the municipal government Of Halifax.
According TO this story, when the ma
val magazine exploded. ships in the i'm
mediate vicinity cut loose their moorings
and scurried out into the stream In the
fleet was heavily laden munitions
steamer. During the scramble for safety
she was rammed by a freight steamer
and blew up, spreading havoc far and
wide. Directly after the explosion. relief
workers picked mp near the wrecked
magazine the body Of a man believed to
be a German
This man, according TO Goldberg's in
formant. was remembered as having
claimed to b. an American who had
stated that be had recently come from
the United States.

The ministers of several of the Barre
churches met this forenoon at II o'clock
to consider the recommendation of State
Fuel Administrator II. j. NJ. Jones rela-
tive to the societies coming together in
union services for the winter, or by
holding services at different hours in the

No action was taken by the clergymen,
but it was decided to lay the matter be-
fore the various congregations to-mor-
row
The recommendation of Fuel Admins
traitor Jones is as follows: Furthermore,
if in your town or city there are two or
more eoal-using churches, it is desired
that YOU suggest TO the officials of these
institutions that, so far as possible, they

WON'T YIN THE VAR
Secretary Lane of the Interior Depart
partment Declares That Every Ca
pacity of the United States
Will Be Tested.

/ Washington, D. c., Dec. Sin his an
nual report published to-day, Secretary
Lane, in characteristically striking
phrases, portrays the transition of q
peaceful democracy into nation organ
| lied for war Possession Of resources
alone, he warns the country, does not
win wars and reeountng the enormous
progress made on every hand declares
the physical stores of the United States
are almost completely at command OF
the worlds needs.
"'What can YOU do to serve me y y
quotes the secretary. "To that question
each individual and each department of
the government must give answer. The
answer of this department is that it has
put every agency and activity which il
has at the service of those departments
more directly concerned with war max
ing. Our men of scientific knowledge
metallurgists, chemists, engineers, topo-
graphers have found new work at their
hands. The homesteaders and the min
ers on the public lands have been re-
leased fro mtheir obligations if they go
into the army or show themselves to be
of greater service off their lands than on
them.

and a quarter acres of irrigated lands

tions joined in the campaign for more
meat and more wheat. The patent office
has been searched for new devices that
could be brought into use to kill the sub
marine or limit its destructiveness. for
the plans of heretofore unused lethal
weapons, and for the formulae of inn

showed the power of the nation in min
eral and chemical resources, our possible
needs, and how they could be met at

those men who had special knowledge or
were of skill along the lines of our own
activities enabled us to expand as the |
call was made.
Under the imperative mandate of war
that all things shall become subject to
new classification according to their use
fulness in carrying on the nations strug-
gle, certain phases of our work have |
fallen into the background, while others I
have been brought into the high light of /
rational Importance.
'But the making of war to-day is far
more than test of primal resources; it
ests the full powers of the nation in
very resource and capacity and espe-
tally along lines of scientific knowledge.
And here again we find that the ways
# peace have given something in the
way of preparation for war"
