cation issued by the war Office last
night reads:
AFTER bombardmant carried out

throughout the whole day in this region
as well as in the neighborhood of Cerny
and north of Braye- -En.Laonnois.
'The Germans have been violently
bombarding Rheims for several days past.
Twelve hundred shells were thrown into

casualties among the civilian popula-
tion.

ONE AIRSHIP DESTROYED
And Its Crew Were All Lost-Small
Damage Done in Raid.

London, June ls.-Two persons were
killed and l6 injured in Saturday nights
air raid, during which Zeppelin was
brought down. The following official re-
port of the raid was given out here yes
terday:
Last nights air raid was carried out
by two enemy airships. One airship
crossed the Kentish coast at about 2
a. m. and dropped six bombs ON coast
town. According to the latest police re-
ports two persons were killed, l6 were
injured and large number of houses
were damaged.
"The second raider attacked the east
coast town of West Anglia at about 2:30
a. m. She was heavily shelled by guns
of the anti-aircraft defense and driven
off. 1t is probable she was damaged by
gunfire. Shortly afterwards this raider,
after dropping a number of bombs in
open places, was engaged and brought
down in flames by a pilot of the Royal
Flying corps. The airship was destroyed.
There were no casualties or damages in
West Anglia.
A dispatch from an east coast town
says that thousands of persons witnessed
the destruction of the Zeppelin. The at
tack by anti-aircraft guns on the diri
gible lasted fully half an hour. When
the black object drifting across the sky
from the southeast TO the northwest was
seen to burst in flames the spectators
cheered. Pedestrians and cyclists dashed
off in the direction of the fallen sirship,
but owing to the Unexpectedly long dis
tance few succeeded in locating the Yep
pelin, which fell few miles from the
coast. II had been first winged by a
land gun and was then finished by an
which the Zeppelin fought to
the last with her guns.
The dirigible dropped in field of corn
and was completely destroyed All Of
the crew were killed and their bodies |
charred. Some of the men appeared to 1
have jumped from the doomed sirship. /
Doctors hurried TO the spot. but their
services were needless.

Blanks were passed through the audi
ence, and a large subscription that will
be included in to-day's total, was taken.
Chairman Mcdonald seized the oppor-
tunity to explain some phases of the 10.
cal campaign.
Chaplain Moody.
Mr.. Mcdonald next introduced Chap
lain Paul ID. Moody of the lst Vermont
infantry, describing him as he had heard
him described by some of the Barre boys
in the lst regiment corking good fell
low Chaplain Moody denied this when
he arose to speak and promptly turned
the tables by saying that no company
in the regiment had a better personnel
than Headquarters company of Barre.
Chaplain Moody talked less of the Red
Cross than he did of soldiers as he knew
them, but in the end he made one feel
that they were deserving of all, and o
lot more, than the Red Cross plans to
do for them. BARRE knows that we are
at war;" said the chaplain, and then he
went on to tell of his recruiting endeav-
ors in some of the hill towns of the
state He told of visiting the birthplace
of Thaddeus Stevens and asking how
many men had enlisted. Not one"
came the answer. And when he asked if
anyone in town had bought Liberty
bond, the answer was the same. There
was still chance to do both when he
left the town, and he thought some of
the townspeople did go TO town the next
day yandcrawl under the Liberty bond tent
But although Barre knows we are at
war, like the rest of the country she
hasn't yet realized just how great this
war is. Germany hasn't been altogether
either, for she has succeed
ed in accomplishing one of the things for
which she set out. That is the welding
of great central European power with
some l60,000,000 people. We do not
realize the Germanie strength. Chaplain |
Moody expressed his opinion that Ger
many now had more people and more |
soldiers in actual fighting condition than |
'he did at the beginning of the war. Her
strength has been purposely concealed, !
