ing the occasion by expressing his graft
tude to Manager e. +. harrington of the
local talent company for the invitation
extended Capt. Moody and the Red Cross
representatives. The chaplain described
the present war as the greatest struggle
ever engaged in by the navy. Germany,
he repeated, in recapitulation of stir
ring phrases delivered by him at the
mass meeting last Sunday night, has
won some Of the things that she started
out to win three years ago. She has
modified every man, woman and child in
the empire, he added, and it devolves
upon America to mobilize likewise in
support Of the Red Cross. The war, said
Chaplain Moody, will be shortened by a
half ii we mobilize our men, women and
children in the relief work of the Red
Cross. He spoke of the inspiration re-
ceived from contact with recruiting and
Red Cross workers in Barre and declared
that thus far the women are making the
best response in the Red Cross work.
Afterward, in preface to his appeal
in behalf of the G company's recruiting
mission, Capt Moody announced that
81 900 had been subscribed in Barre since
3 o'clock in the afternoon and that $685.
had been contributed after o'clock,
from 376 subscribers, making a total
for Barre at Ii o'clock of 1855. Turn
ing to G company, the speaker said that
for five years he was engaged in recruit
ing for Christ in Vermont. Now, he
went on, he was recruiting in an equally
serious way for another purpose. The
young recruits of to-day he likened to
the crusaders who fought the Saracens
in the medieval ages, as he declared that
both were fighting in holy cause.
Americans, he said, are fighting for their
flag, for their womanhood and for right
eousness.
"There is many man whom the war
can get along without" asserted Chap
lain Moody, 'but there are many men
who cannot get along without the war;
he added, and he told of the wistful
faces to be seen on Memorial day among
the gray haired men who didn't enlist
back in the Civil war. The speaker told
of the little Vermont town that erected !
a soldiers monument and cut thereon

ing more. He hoped that it might be
said in years to come: Barre remem- |
bers." In closing he urged everyone not |
to be content merely with doing his or
her bit, but rather with doing his or her
best.
For the players who contributed their
time and talent to a very enjoyable pres
entation Of "The Girl From Broadway"
much might be said There were tuneful
songs, sprightly dances and bright dia-
Iogue. Not one but all of the principals
starred each in his or her particular
armament and the chorus work fur
nished the finesse for one of the smooth

-alent within memory. Flaws, il there
we're any, were few and will be ironed
,ut tonight. The scenes of the story
ire laid in the hotel office of mountain
esort and there the breezy characters
les of the piece were given full play.
some of the better known performers in
Barrels theatrical circle were seen to ex
client advantage and they kept the
,ossamery little plot constantly on the
move. The orchestra contributed not a
title to well rounded performance and
goodly amount of credit Is due Fannie

ion by her constant attention to details.
