The World of Pleasure shows, which
transferred from its eight cars in the
Central Vermont freight yards Sunday
afternoon, were spread over a comforta-
BILE expanse of ground and by night the
park resembled Paragon park or a
Coney in miniature. Myriads of electric
lights added to the brillancy of the af
fair. 1t is a carnival in the real sense
of the word, for there is little omitted
ments and the like. The carnival
grounds are to remain open day and
night during the remainder of the week.
In the absence of any official obsery
ance of the Fourth in Barre, interest will
naturally center at the park and toward
the carnival all pleasure seeking people
will probably gravxate. To make the
stay of patrons worth while, the man
agement has inaugiirated a special pro-

FAVOR WELFARE WORKER.
Plans Were Outlined in Barre Meeting
Last Evening.

A number of people gathered in Aid
rich hall last evening gave added inn
petus to the movement for a paid well
fare worker in Barre, with the result
that the civic department OF the Wom-
ans club, under the auspices of which
the meeting was held, instead of holding
public meetings from time to time is GO
ing ahead with active plans. At once a
campaign for funds to finance the work
will be gotten under way and as the
need of welfare worker in Barre is de-
seribed as crying one it is proposed to
engage someone in that capacity within
the near future.
Mrs. George f. Bond presided at the
meeting last evening and the principal
speaker was Miss Gridley of Montpelier.
who explained in detail the workings of
welfare activity in the capital. She
gave it as her opinion that there is a
field here which awaits the efforts of a
capable worker and offered the civic de-
partment every encouragement in its de-
termination to have the work succeed.
Overseer William Mcdonald of the city
charity department was present and
spoke briefly. Others voiced informally
the common sentiment that welfare
worker should be engaged at once. A
year ago efforts were made to organize
welfare league, but after public meetings
had been held the plan was abandoned
This year the department
is addressing itself to the task with new
energy and undoubtedly will succeed.
In the immediate program of the
club is proposal to supple
nent the work of welfare worker with
he services of a district nurse and to
hat end the city council has asked to
appropriate sum of money for the
of a nurse.

NEW GERMAN PLOT
TO DESTROY SHIPS
Plan Was to Delay Organization OF
American War Armies and Check
Flow of Food Through the
Great Lakes.

Washington, d. c., July 3.--Secret in
vestigation by government agents ha'
disclosed the existence of great con
spiracy to destroy or hinder shipping or
the Great Lakes and thereby delay or
ganization of American war armies and
check the flow of food and munitions
material from the western states to the
Atlantic coast.
No consprators have been captured
and the identity of none has been made
public, but it was learned yesterday that
the state, navy and justice departments
are cooperating to bring the offenders to
punishment, and that the Canadian gov
ernment probably will be called upon to
help.
This plot engineered by Germans as
sisted by sympathizing American citi-
zens, is believed to have been respon.
sible for the succession of accidents"
to lake shipping, especially in the neigh
borhood of the Sault Ste. Marie canal,
which began about a month ago. The
steamers Saxonia and Pentecost Mitch
ell were sunk at the mouth of the 500
river with the evident intention of
blocking the channel Then there was
the sinking of the steamer Venetian
Maid in the Detroit river, with the loss
Of one life, and later came an attempt
to dynamite the steamer Maekainac. The
Kasage I'd was blown up and burned and
the Jay Dee Sd and the Niagara had
their machinery wrecked.
All of these vessels had been or were
about to be taken over by the navy de.
1artment and the Investigations of the
department. Of justice and the navy de.
1artment have tended to the conclusion
hat what were believed to have been
accidents were the acts of conspirators
,eeking to hamper the government in
he prosecution of the war.
just how much the government agents
lave learned is not revealed. but Off
.ials have concluded that the public
hould know of the situation in a gen
raj way, believing that publicity may
make the operations of the Germans
more difficult or impossible.
