Washington, May 2.-Keeping up
with the submarine is the paramount
problem facing the war conference
now in progress here between Ameri-
can, French and British experts. II
is considered even more important
than the food exigency, for without
the ships to transport to Europe, Amer
lean food will be of little value.
Lord Eustace Percy of the British
foreign trade department emphasized
this when he received Washington cor
respondents for this first interview,
He made no attempt to conceal the
fact that the tonnage situation is a
very serious one. He reiterated
Lloyd Georges warning of several
weeks ago that If the war is TO be
won, If Prussianism is to be crushed
there must be "ships !" "Ships! And
more ships"
Allies Get Ships.
Lord Percy has been in constant
communication with the governments
shipping experts, notably the federal
shipping board, since his arrival here,
and he was warm in his praise of the
aid and cooperation he has received
Questioned as to whether this coop
Grafton had taken on a material form,
he replied:
you may say that some ships al
ready have been placed at the disposal
of the allied governments by the Unit
ed States. / can say no more. Any
thing else on 1t must come from your
government"
Lord Percy frankly admitted that
German submarines are sinking Brit
ish tonnage much faster than it can
be turned out by British yards.
'And 1t is question:" ne said,
whether the combined production of
both British and American yards can
keep up with 1t. They will have to
speed up considerably if they do.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-06-13

The Decentralization of King Constan-
tine of Greece and the denial of the right
of Crown Prince George to take the
throne are indications OF the growing
strength of the entente allies cause all
through Europe. Almost since the out
break of the war King Constantine's
espousal OF the cause of Germany This
wife is a GERMANY has been known, and
it was feared by the entente allies that
he would throw as much of the forces of
Greece as he could command in favor of
the kaiser. Against that possibility the
diplomats of the entente allies have been
working constantly, and the abdication
of the king under pressure shows that
they have finally gained the upper hand
and that while Greece may not actually
cast her lot with the entente allies the
government will no longer be in open
sympathy with the central powers cause.
"A Greek democracy might not be out of
the question either if the people take the
whip seat.

TAKING THE APPEAL HOME TO
BARRE PEOPLE.

One result of the house to house can
vass of Barre in the interests of the
Liberty loan has been the personal APP
peal to all households to cooperate with
the government in carrying on the ire
mendous work which lies just ahead. No
matter how much you may pound away
ut an idea in the press, on the rostrum
or wherever the masses of people are adj
dressed, there is bound to be more or
less of the impersonal appeal; that is,
not all of those who are addressed feel
that the message is directed straight at
them. In consequence, many people
when spoken to in the mass fail to catch
the note of the appeal meant for them
Personal visitation, however, does away
with that sort of thing. Probably hum
dreds of Barre people feel to-day that
the government appeals to them individ-
ually, whereas "a hours ago, while realiz-
ing the necessity for the government to
raise money, they felt that the govern
ment was asking loan not from them
but from someone else, some vague per
sons who are in the business of loaning
money perhaps. The total amount raised
in Barre in this house to- house canvass
was not large in comparison with the
allotment for Barre to raise, but the
multiplicity of small subscriptions is de-
cidedly encouraging as showing that so
many are able and willing to cooperate
with the government. Hundreds feel
that they have more or less of proprie
tary interest in the United States gov
eminent to-day, in contrast to their tax
en.for granted interest heretofore. In
that way, let alone the welcome acquisi-
fion to the Barre allotment, the canvass
was successful.

number. After that Miss Marion Wini-
fred Anker delivered in fine fashion the
anonymous classic, "The Drawkeeper."
She was at her best when the piece de-
manded close attention to dramatic de-
tails and she addressed herself TO a man
ifestly difficult series of interpretations
with fine spirit.
"The Strenuous Life" by Theodore
Roosevelt, was the subject of Howard
Wilbur Geake's stirring grafton. There
was evolution in his expression and some
of the most sublime parts of the great
Rooseyeltian message were delivered
with remarkable verve. A selection
by Kate Langley Bosher, Here
Comes the Bride was entertain
ingly told by Miss Helen Sanborn Ros-
coe, whose hawless impersonation of
characters from the Humane" was vi
vacious and winning. Humorous situa-
tions were properly emphasized in her
most laughable doings in the home for
orphans marked the young reader as one
of the contestants to be reckoned with
in the final summing up of points.
After music by the glee club Miss
Madeline Nicholson Mcdonald recited
"Billy Brad and the Big Lie Her in
depreciation of child dialogue was quite
in keeping with selection that required
a good deal of talent and she quickly
won her way into the sympathies Of the
audience. President Wilson's war mes
sage, "rhe World Must Be Made Safe
for Democracy" lost little of its clarity
and force when delivered by Laurence
Carroll Campbell who addressed himself
most seriously to the stern task of max
ing the message ring. Every fiery pas
sage found him ready with a natural
and his rendition of the
speech was clear and emphatic.

SUNDAYS HELL-RAISING, RIP
SNORING PERSONALITY
VANISHES WHEN HE IS
OUT OF PULPIT

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 15.-Billy Slsa-
days pep and power seem to VANISH
when he leaves the pulpit
Instead of the rip-snorting, pie
driving, hell-raising personality tifat
sweeps his audience like a cyclone
while he's preaching, Billy off tie
stage is as meek and docile as a cot-
lie led on leash.
The contrast between his style in
action and his manner in repose has
puzzled everyone with whom he has
come in contact, and especially tie
preachers, who had expected to he
carried away with him behind tie
scenes as well as before the foot
lights But in place of the aggressive
and assertive man who conpels the
attention Of vast audiences, they have
found him almost cold and almost
gruff
Critics of the famous evangelist say
1t is pose, deliberately done to give
the impression of sort of inter
communion with the Holy Spirit
which makes him seem preoccupiei
His admirers declare it is nothing
more than a tremendous diffidencc
which holds him back in personal
contact but leaves him when he enters
the pulpit. ~

Impressions Of Billy Sunday
By Emma T. Martin.

Ny impressions of Mr.. Sunday
Just let me think Bit
There's his smile that wont come
off,,
And his real contortion fit.
There's his slang, SO baseball like,
And his lurid, breathless shout
Of Hells and damns, and rhinestone
hot,
With all the imps of He'll about
To catch trembling, shining soul
And drag him to damnation's pit,
There to writhe and shovel coal
Without a chance to even sit
Upon a lump OF cooling ice,
To pluck violet, or smell rose,
Or take perchance baseball bat
And bif the devil on the nose.
And when he does his clothes remove,
Or leaps into the air,
One wonders at his stunts so wild,
His acrobatics rare.
Must he. in order to express
His burstings all within,
Paw the air with arms and legs
And stand upon his chin?
Billie's batting average
Is really very high,
He knocks the women into faints,
And makes the babies cry
With sin and hell and Satan
"a hitting of the trail"
1t seems that Mr.. Sunday
Has the Devil by the tail.
If he'll twist that tail a bit,
Twist it till it cracks,
The Devil sure will never stop
To cover up his tracks.
Catch him then upon the fly,
And cover him with sod,
Or take him to the Kaiser
And swap him off for God
Mr.. Sunday knoweth we'll
Were dwclleth hopes and fears,
He knoweth where to bat for smiles,
And where TO punch for tears.
He knoweth WHO is WHO, and
WHERE;
The crowd he swayeth well,
But he is really at his best,
When ne gives the Germans hell.
If God is love, and God is all,
The time will come, ken,
When Love viii reign for all, in all,
And the fear of devil will end

MASONIC BANQUET HELD
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 15-Letters re-
ceived in Atlanta tell an interesting
story Of Masonic banquet held
Somewhere in France" by the Ma
sonic members OF the Seventeenth

organized in this city.
The banquet was held in "bou-
vette" on the edge of French village
and was attened by $50 Masonic en-
gineers representing twenty-seven
different states The menu enclosed
in the letter reads quite temptingly,
although it consists entirely OF
French dishes.
As is generally known, the supreme
lodge of the Masons' Annuity, bene-
fit order for Masons only is located
in Atlanta, and for many years has
been doing great work for the wild

million dollars and its present assets
are more than a million. Edward b.
Burns, one of the best known Ma
sons in the South, is superintendent
of the organization department.
Masons in Atlanta have received
with great satisfaction the recent or
der by Secretary Baker permitting
the establishment of Masonic recrea-
ton halls in National army training
camps. Georgia Masons are prepar-
ing to build large and commodious
hall in the immediate future at Camp
Gordon, the cantonment near Atlanta,

ing recently been made at the session
