LIBERTY DAY GAVE
TREMENDOUS BOOST
New England Has Practi-

mum Amount

Washington, d. c., Oct. 25-Treasury
department officials announced to-day
their conviction that the Liberty loan
subscriptions had passed the three billion
dollar mark and were we'll ON the way
to the five-bllion goal. The indications
were this morning that the Liberty day
sales had carried the total to approx
mately $500, 100000, if not beyond that
sum. The subscriptions officially re-
ported by the federal reserve banks TO
the close of business last night, with re-
ports from three banks missing, were

BARRE HAS RAISED
S277,850 FOR LIBERTY
Strong Hard Drive Will Be Necessary if
the City's Minimum Quota Is to Be
Reached Saturday Night

Although a substantial gain over yes
terdays total is indicated by bank sub
scriptions and uncOmpleted returns from
the city committee which directed Tues.
DAYS big drive Barre's quota of the sec.
ond Liberty loan of 1917 has not been
realized. and if the record of the first
loan is to be sustained, there must be a
liberal response before the books close
Saturday night. Apart from subscrip-
tions in the hands of the canvassers and
bonds sold to-day, the sum of S277 $50
was recorded in the four banks of Barre
at the close of business yesterday aft
ernoon. The figures show plainly that
nearly $4,000 additional must be sub
scribed before Saturday night, if Barre
is to be enrolled among the municipali-
ties which subscribed or oversubscribed
their quota.
The Barre Entertainment association
gave the fund a sizable boost last night
when it voted to divert 81 500 of its per
manent fund to the purchase of Liberty
bonds Another patriotic organization
Barre lodge, \. f. Q. p, voted to take
$500 worth of bonds Other fraternal
organizations have shown the way, and
it is hoped that more contributions of
this nature may be received.
Liberty bonds are the one road to vic
tory, and the saying that the money of
a beaten nation is worthless holds true
in this year of grace. Give the Ameri-
can soldiers the spirit, the purpose and
the heart to fight, is one of the telling
slogans Of the campaign. but the time
for argument has ceased and nothing
short of action will accomplish the de-
sired end. To-day the Peoples National
bank had received subscriptions approx
mating 100000, aud the record of the
Barre Savings bank was Sl02,400.

SENATE DELAYS APPROVAL.
Republicans Block Passage of ResO.
 lutiOn Approving Peace Note.

Washington, Jan, 3.-After another debate on Senator Hitchcock's reso. lution to have the senate endorse President Wilson's peace note, during which Senator Lodge attacked Ger man Ambassador von Bernstorff for having made a public statement ap- proving it, the senate again today de- ferred action and will take up the question again tomorrow.
 Senator Lodges mention of the German envoy's name, which he said he knew was contrary to the rule of senate proceedings, was the sensa- ton of a speech in which the senator declared that although he accepted at it's full face value President Wilson's statement that the note was in 10 way suggested by or in association with the German peace proposal, he believed that such statement as the German ambassadors had added to the opinion that the note was designed to aid Germany in making the peace terms she desired.
 On the ground that the senate, as the only legislative body in the world having voice in international relations. should move slowly and not take any action which might after ward become of aid to one set of belligerents or another, Senator Lodge led the opposition, in which The was supported by other Republi- cans, among them Senator Gallinger,
 the Republielan leader. and Senator Borah.
 !, Senator Hitchcock led the fight for This resolution, in which he was sup ported by Senator Smith of Georgia, in the contention that an endorse ment of the presidents note was no more than an act in the interest of humanity.

PRESIDENT ID
 GIVE ALLIES
 GERMAN TERMS Former Premier of Hungary Says Offer Will Be Sent
 to Wilson.
COL. HsUSE VISITS
 THE WHITE HOUSE
Call Considered significant in View of Fact That Last Gall Was Followed by Dispatch Of Peace Note
 to the Allies.

Washington, Jan. 3,-Coincident with the receipt here today of conii- dential advices giving the probable broad outline of the entente allies re- play 10 President Wilson's note pro- posing discussion of peace terms. Col. F.. NJ. House, the presidents friend and close adviser, arrived at the white house. The colOnels last visit was followed by the dispatch of the presidents peace note.
 At the same time press dispatches from London told of a speech by Count Julius Andrassy, former pre- mier of Hungary, stating that the cen- tral powers had given or would give statement of their peace terms to President Wilson and that the entente could secure them from him. Otf1- CiaIs at the white house and state de- partment would make no comment, further than to say no further move would be made by the United States until the entente reply is received.
 Both in German and entente circles pessmsm over the outlook was ex- pressed. The president, however, was disposed to think the moves made will be helpful.

Says Wilson Knows Terms.

London, Jan. 3-"President Wilson now knows the peace conditions or the Teutonic allies, and the entente powers can learn what they are from him." Count Julius Andrassy former ly premier of Hungary, is quoted as asserting. in dispatch from Buda- rest to the Central News agency. by way of Amsterdam.
 The statement was made in New Years address, and he is quoted as saying:
 "As the entente alleges that our peace proposal was only maneuvre, and was not made with any earnest desire to bring about peace, I am able to declare that President Wilson knows the peace conditions, and the entente can learn them from that source"
 The version of the Budapest dis patch received by the Reuter- Tele- graph company quotes Count Andras- sy as saying "thc peace conditions of the central powers will be communi- oated to President Wilson," the dis patch quoting Count Andrassy as fol- lows:
 eff the entente rejects our peace offer only because they maintain our offer is not honestly meant but is merely mameuvre, and that they can- not enter into negotiations before knowing the conditions, they can learn these from President Wilson. to whom they will be communicated"
