The deceased was born in Moretown

schools of his native town, he entered
the Green Mountain seminary at Wat

that institution. As young man he
gained his first experience in the granite
business as an employe of the Empire
Granite Co. Shortly afterward he en-.
tered the employ OF E. w. Bailey & Co.,
grain dealers in Montpelier, and re-
manned with that concern for 10 years
Coming to Barre in 1902 he interested
himself with other local people in the
formation OF the Barre Granite Manu-
faeturers' exchange, an organization
somewhat similar to the present Gran
lite Manufacturers association. AT that
time he was employed as office manager
and displayed excellent executive ability.
For four years, from 1902 to 1906, he
served as assistant postmaster in Barre
and later entered the Consolidated Quar-
ry Co., serving that concern as treasurer
for some years. Before he entered the
manufacturing business he served in a

in the firm OF A. E. Lebouryeau 4 Co.,
formed partnership with Alexander A.
Milne, the concern having shed quarters
in Burnham's meadow. In the spring OF
1915 he withdrew from the firm and
in the past two years had been devoting
his time to other business interests in
Barre.
Mr.. Goodwin was formerly actively in.
teresterd in the Elks, the Foresters and
Knights OF Columbus. Arrangements
for the funeral are to be announced

CAN OVERCOME U-BoATS
But Great Britain Does Not Minimize
Gravity of Situation.

Washington, April 2T.--Rear Admiral
Sir Dudley r. $. De Chair, the veteran
naval officer OF Great Britain's war COM
mission 10 the United States, gave a
group Of Washington newspaper corre-
epondents yesterday first hand story
OF some Of his experiences during the
two years he commanded a patrol feet
chasing German submarines. Without
minimizing the gravity OF the submarine
menace he confidently predicted that it
would be overcome.
Commenting on suggestions that Ger
many might undertake submarine cam
paign on the American coast, the admir-
al said this would not be profitable from
the German points of view, without ex-
tensiye supply bases on this side of the
Atlantic.

FRANCO-BRITISH
OFFENSIVE AGAIN
STARTS ITS MARCH
DESPERATE GERMAN
EFFORTS STILLED
ON ARRAS FRONT

Desperate efforts of the Germans
to drive the British from their
captured heights on the Arras
front have failed after four days
of the bitterest fighting the world
has seen since the bloody days of
Verdun. Tens of thousands of
Germans were hurled forward
again and again, only to recoil
from the British fire. Military
critics expect the attacks will be
renewed again if the German man
power can stand the awful drain.
They base this expectation on the
great strategical Importance of
the blood soaked heights, which
the British have wrested from
their foes. These hills crown the
great plain of Douia and their un-
molested retention by General
Haig spells almost certain doom to
the Wotan line, the last protecting
barrier before Douia and Cambria.

NEGOTIATIONS HANG FIRE
On Proposal to Change Trolley Lines
Franchise,

Barre's council committee, in confer
ence with the Montpelier city council and
representatives OF the Tenney company
stood pat against unguaranteed conees
sions at the capital last night and until
committees from the three municipalities
have an opportunity to meet in execu.
tive session, executive so far as the trac-
tion people are concerned, all negotia
tions on proposed franchise changes con.
tinue to hang fire. Barre was represent
ed by Mayor Glysson, Aldermen Bruce
Reynolds and Milne, City Clerk Mackay
and City Attorney Wishsrt. At the out
set the local committee took a stand
against any concession which would refer
the franchise as a whole to the public
service commission and for a time it
looked as though the conference was
deadlocked.
A letter in which General Manager
Sands of the Tenney company seemed to
overlook the alleged impotency of the
traction company in money matters was
read at the meeting and twice thereafter
the Barre committee retired to caucus on
certain features of the franchise drafted
at the instance of the railroad officials.
1t was finally agreed that the regulation
of fares and running schedules might be
left to the company, with the reserva
tion, however, that cars be operated be
tween Barre and Montpelier every 40
minutes if not oftener. The committee
lacking authority from the council, did
not commit itself to these concessions
Apparently the star chamber session has

doors were unlocked and visitors permit

The letter written by Mr.. Sands and
addressed to Mayor Glysson speaks for
itself;

MORE OIL TANKERS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-To in sure ample supply of fuel oil to the Allies, the Shipping Roard will rush construction of 5S oil tankers, and is considering building 40 more. British representatives proposed that the Shipping Board requisition the Standard Oil ships to carry supplies for the British navy, the Standard Oil officials showed that that would create a shortage in the United States. The British representatives say their navy will require 360,t00 tons of oil month. Oil reserves in Great Britain have run so low that many British Warships have been forced to remain inactive. The problem is entirely one of tonnage, as there is abundance of oil on this side of the Atlantic.

WILL NEED MONEY.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Frank A, Vanderlip says: We are confront ing the most difficult financial prob lem any government ever faced, The last Congress appropriated $21,- 360, 900. Today the best esti- mate that can be made of what the government will need for the year ending next June is $19,00e, ,000,- 900. The new tax is certainly a drastic as the country will stand. The shortterm treasury notes have been absorbed by a few banks in the great centers. They cant bear the whole load. Credit must be conscripted if necessary. We are going to discover investing capacity in the United States beyond any thing we ever dreamed of. But we cannot go on spending and meet these demands. There must be real economy. Among the important things we must achieve is the bring ing into the federal reserve system of the state banks.

 "The firms who come under the ban of this Jaw, sos.f far as Latin America is concernedn are for the most part large German merchant houses, with headquarters in Ham burg and Bremen.
