Seventeen Ships Disabled.

Washington, Feb. livery one of the
seventeen warbound German merchant
ships examined by American officials at
Philadelphia ports since the break with
Germany has been SO badly damaged
by her crew that six months or more
would be required to make any of them
seaworthy. An official report yesterday
said that of the twenty three vessels
tied up in the islands all but six had
been inspected, and none had been found
which could be put into condition with
out a large expenditure of time and
money.
So widespread and thorough has been
the concerted disabling of German ships
in American ports that some officials
think it could be explained only by a
blanket order.

EXPRESS OFFICE CHANGES.
H. w. Britton Promoted to Travelling
Agent; G. z. Marsh Comes to Barre.

A change affecting the management of
the Barre office Of the American Express
Go. became effective to-day when George
Il. Marsh, lately engaged as agent at
Woodstock, succeeded Harry w. Britton
as the local agent. Mr.. Britton left at
noon for Woodsyille, n H., where he is
to assume the position Of travelling agent
for the company, having been assigned
to territory on the White Mountain and
Passumpsic division Mr.. Marsh arrived
in the city from Woodstock last evening
and took charge Of the Office this morn
ing. In the case of each representative,
the change Is in the nature OF de-
served promotion.
For upward Of q years Mr.. Britton
has been in the employ OF the express
company. His home Is in Hartland, but
in more than two decades he has been
valued employe of the company, having
entered its employ in 1895, when he be
gan work as a driver IN Barre. For a
time he was employed in New London,
Conn, and eleven years ago he was pro-
NOTED to the position oil agent in Barre.
That the company has placed premium
upon his efforts to build up the business
OF express deliveries and shipments in
Barre is indicated hy the promotion
which he received to-day.
Mr.. Marsh began r4ak fof ahe ~lmer-
lean Express Co, around l6 years ago and
has been employed continuously fnI that
concern iii The pas eleven yess4 To:
long time he was employed as q clerk

he was promoted to the position Of agent
in Woodstock. where he served until no.
titled that he had been advanced to the
Barre Office. Mr.. Marsh expects to move
his family to Barre in the near future.
While general regret is expressed over
the circumstances which combined to de.
prive the Barre Office OF the services of
Mr.. Britton, there is a feeiIng that his
promotion is deserved and tne decision
to place MFR. Marsh in charge locally is
commended by many patrons Of The COM
service.

TWO ALDERMANIc CANDIDATES.
Judge H. w. Scott in Ward One and A. J.
Loranger in Ward Three.

Two candidates appeared in the alder
manic field to-day, when it became
known that Judge II. w. Scott and A. j.
Loranger were TO be candidates in wards
! and 3, respectively. Judge Scott is the
first candidate to announce himself in
the first ward and likewise Mr.. Loranger
is on the grounds with the initial state
ment from potential candidates in ward
8. Friends of both men have been urging
them to stand for caucus nominations in
the past few weeks. Thus far Judge
Scott is unopposed, although it is prob
able that he win have a Socialist opps-
nent and it is not impossible, bytany
means, that other potential candidates
will declare themselves before the
caucus, which is to be held next week
All along a number of people have
been urging the qualification of Mr.. lor-
anger in ward 3, but not until to-day
did he give his consent TO stand as
candidate. Friends cite his ability as
business man and express the belief
that he viii be a real force, If elected,
in the councils at city hall.
Judge Scott stated to-day that a num-
Der of voters in the first ward had inn
portuned him to enter the caucus as a
candidate. He stands for economy in
city government and believes that there
is a way by which maximum results
may be accomplished without resorting
to prohibitive tax rates.
The north end bailiwick, ward ;, is
the only ward where candidates have
failed thus far to avow their intentions.
1t is more than a possibility that Alder
man A NJ Rossi will seek a renomina-
tion and it Is apparent that he viii be

gested as a candidate and there are one
