The meeting held the Methodist
church on Monday afternoon and even
ing In the interest of the retired min
isters' fund, was well attended and much
enjoyed by all. In the afternoon about
sixty people were present who enjoyed
the talk Of Bishop Hughes, in addition
to the short talks OF Others present.
There were fifteen churches in this dis
trict, and all of these were represented,
bringing more than forty delegates. Fol-
lowing the afternoon service, there was
a banquet served by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, when there were good number
present, the ladies clearing about SID.
The evening service opened at 1880 by
praise service led by the pastor, Rev
S. G. Suitor, followed by prayer by Rev
Christie of Woodstock, An anthem by
the choir was given and then Bishop
Hughes was introduced by Rev. 5. G.
Suitor and spoke with much eloquence
for more than an hour. Mr.. Hughes gave
a short talk in which he complimented
Vermont very highly and then went at
once TO his subject, telling of the early
life of the average Vermont minister,
and what service he rendered to all.
Leaving this part of his topic, he pictured
in vivid colors the obligation which
we were under to him and in no uncer'
tain tones gave the path of service to
those who followed the only way IN
which we could repay our indebtedness.
Throughout the entire time his address
was full of witty anecdotes, making the
otherwise fine sermon doubly interesting.
On Tuesday morning Bishop Hughes left
for st. Johssbury, which was his next
place in which he was to speak upon
the same subject District Superintend-
ent Sharpe and many other clergymen /
in this vicinity were present at the
evening service.

NORTHWEST TO GET SUPPLY OF COAL
Preferential Shipments, to Re-
 ieVe Shortage, Planned

Washington, Aug. 15.-Plans for re- lieving the coal shortage in the north west by a system of preferential ship ments were formed late yesterday at the conference of officials, railroad men and coal operators. who may ultimately call on President Wilson for executive approval to make them effective. The plan, adopted by unanimous resolution, contemplates furnishing ,bttuminous coal operators who can ship to Cleveland and eastern lake ports 100 per cent. car service with the understanding that they will ship 50 per cent. of their output to lake ports for re-shipment to the north western territory ports.
 Daniel c. Willard, chairman of the advisory commission of the council of national defense, was delegated with F. S. Peabody and c. M. Shaffer as aides, to carry the plan to some au- thority for final veto or approval. The authority was not named, but inas- much as the power to order prefer ential shipments now rests solely with President Wilson, it is assumed that the proposal ultimately will go t6 him unless he appoints preferential ship ment board to handle such problems. MT. Willard said his plans for the present were indefinite that he would first present the proposal to the rail- road war board headed by Fairfax Harrison, then confer with such other persons as appeared advisable.
 oF r1 day of wrangling in open and ex- ecutive session largely over the crit ical. situation in the northwest. A subcommittee finally agreed that these figures represented the true, status of affairs
 Tonnage to be moved during the remaining 16 weeks of the lake navi- gation season, 17,000,000; present weekly rate of coal movement 940,- 900 tons; necessary weekly increase, approximately 100000 tons.
 Under the plan adopted Mr. Pea body and other members of the con- ference said the entire northwestern problem will be solved and the New England situation materially aided, while other parts of the country probably will be adequately cared for by rail transportation.
 Efforts Of New England represent atives to have their problem consid- cred today failed. MT. Peabody in sisted that the crucial moment . for settling the northwestern situation had arrived and that it should be discust alone.
 Much of the open session was de- voted to arguments between George D. Cameron, member of the Pea body committee, and George L. Peck, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines over the right of railroads to declare embargoes.
 MT. Peabody declared that he did not believe there was a car shortage, but that the coal emergency was caused by utilities storing up vast quantities of coal One utility, he said, he had heard. had years SUD- ply of coal in storage

SEES GERMANY FAVORED
Berlin Paper Believes Revelations by Gerard Rebound to Credit of Kaiser and His Empire.

} Berlin, Monday. Aug. 13, via Lon- don, Aug. 5.+In commenting upon the exposures of German diplomacy made public in the United States by James w. Gerard, the former Ameri- can ambassador here, the Zeitung am Mittag says:
 The very contents of this alleged dispatch (Emperor Williams message to President Wilscn) are so constitut- ed as to prove anything but injurious to German political conduct of the War. The dispatch, as MT. Gerard has constructed and published it, must prove to any unbiased mind that Elm peror William in his exchange of mes- sages with King George worked un- ceasingly for the maintenance of peace. The British king, on the other hand, either from conscious duplicity or, more likely, because he was duped by a government which had already decided for war, soon became en- meshed in misunderstanding and sub mitted propositions which were with drawn as fast as they were accepted. To an unprejudiced reader the infor- nation conveyed to President by Am bassador Gerard is an indictment of King George and the British govern menu and not of Germany.
 One is beWildered at the motive that prompted MT. Gerard in making these disclosures. It may be that in the United States, too, MT. Gerard's diplomatic fame has no longer an especially lustrous hue. To many Americans the German emperor con- tinues to be one of the outstanding men of contemporary history. The primary purpose of MT. Gerards ex-

The school committee held their Town hall, at which time routine bus mess and other matters were brought up for discussion. Two of the mem bers of the committee and from East Berlin and two from Kensington failed to put in an appearance. Taken as whole the session was very quiet one ard. after spending but short time within the confines of the building, move for adjournment was taken.
 l Although several matters of inn portance were given an airing, the chief item last nights program was the proposition brought up by s. M. Cowles to introduce music into the schools. Considerable interest was manifested in this plan by mem bers of the committee, and it is prob able that at the next meeting the ad- visibility of hiring a music teacher will be taken up and passed upon. Heretofore music has not been given in the course of instruction
 Last year on account of the paraly- sis epidemic the schools were opened late. but this year things will be vice-versa. It was voted last evening Ito make the date for tho opening of the schools September 10.
 It 1as deemed advisable to have the Hubbard school in East Berlin painted before the school year begins, and the bob will be opened for bids within a few days. It also was decided to re- pair and renovate this school in a Thorough manner. The building com mittee was instructed to prepare specifications and submit to various contrp ctors in order to make these re- pairs as cheaply as possible.
 A few bills were approved but owing to the fact that the budget for he past year could not be compiled ast evening" it was voted to hold a special meeting next Tuesday night. One of the members stated this morn ng that a prec cedent had been estab ished in holding a special meeting 1uring the month of August. Next Tuesday the budget will be prepared md presented so that it may form a bart of the town report which is made before the town election.
 A notification was received from bccretary Hine that MT. Dows had been appointed supervisor of the chools for the ensuing year.

Young men who have passed the physical examination for service in the new army but who seek exemption because of dependents or for other reasons, have been busy since the board met here last week preparing af1davits to show why they should re- main at home. Many of the sworn statements were mailed to B. I. Miller of Avon, the secretary, yesterday and today,
 In the cases of Plainville eligibles as well as those from other towns in this number of claims will be overruled. There is also a likelihood that some of the claims will be withdrawn be- fore the hoard can turn them down, many of the young men being desirous of having it recorded that they went to war voluntarily and without making a protest.
 Members of the board believe that 1t will be necessary to call additional men to secure the quota of four hun dred which this district is required to furnish only a small percentage of the men having been certified to date.
