Removes to New Home.

In 1873 the institution was moved to
525 goth street, on which site the pres
cnt building. completed five years ago,
stands. the main entrance having been
transferred from the goth street side
of the building to the F street side. and
the F street number, 1922, being used
as the street location of the orphanage.
During the period from the founding to
the transfer of site the character of
the institution gradually changed from a
hospital 10 an orphanage.
1t is pointed out by those closely ia
miliar with the founding of this activity
OF St Johns Church that really the first
site was on Pennsylvania avenue, but the
then hospital remained there such little
time that this site was never regarded
by its supporters as having been the be-
ginning of the orphanage. They refer to
the H street site as the real beginning.
rSister Sarah took charge of the or
phanage in 1850, and two years later a
charter was secured from Congress. From
that date until her death Sister Sarah"

KAISER'S FRIEND
PREDICTS PEACE
BEFORE WINTER
Austrians and Disaffected
zres1tcns May Force Ser
i;o1s Proposals

London, Aug. eff Berlin, under
the pressure of Austria and the disaf-
fected elements in Germany, puts
forth q serious. direct peace proposal
in the autumn, in order to avoid an
other winter of war, as is almost uni
versally expected here, it is likely to
get a cold reception in London and
Paris unless 1t promises definitely and
positively the restoration of all con-
Quered territory, including Alsace and
Lorraine, and ample indemnity for
the damage done.
1t is beyond question that the Ger
mans are fast. losing confidence in
their ability to Withstand another
winter of war. Reports to this eff
feet are coming with increasing FREE
quency from a variety of sources.
Thus the Amsterdam visscherij Cour-
ant. after citing other testimony,
says:
I'VE saw a letter yesterday from a
big German manufacturer who has
often visited the Kaiser, saying that
peace can be expected speedily. last
week another German of considerable
importance declared that Germany
does not intend to begin new winter
campaign because the country is un-
able to carry it through to the end. .
In proportion, however, as German
necessities, hopes and plans for peace
increase, Great Britain and France
etiffen in their resistance to all peace
efforts which are not accompanied by
an initial assurance of restoration OF
territories and reparation for losses

especially as regards food. certain
metal necessaries and clothing. 1t
is declared that in order to clothe the
German army properly to fight
through the coming winter the civil
population will have to go in rags or
worse.
The sterner attitude of the British
people on this question Of peace is
shown by the fact that the labor
unions are developing substantial
unanimity in their opposition to al
lowing British delegates to attend the
Stockholm conference. A few weeks
ago the government believed it was
facing a serious dilemma because la
! Dor might be offended if delegates
were not permitted to go; now. how
ever, resolutions, interviews and many
private expressions of opinion by la
Dor leaders and members of other
| organizations have made it clear that
this element is not only willing but Is
actually insistent that delegates shall
not be allowed to go to the Swedish
capital.
This development has brought about
l IL
| to Minister Henderson's visit to Paris
for the purpose of making arrange
ments to send British representatives
to Stockholm. Minister Henderson
represents organized British labor in
the War Cabinet; he went to Paris
without consulting the government.
When criticized in the House of Com
mons the government pleaded for
1 moderation, fearing labor leaders
would precipitate trouble if Hender-
| son should be repudiated and forced
A to resign.
It now develops that the govern
ment was unnecessarily concerned
about the attitude of labor and the
indications are that the unions them
selves will take steps to repudiate
| Henderson and insist on the most
vigorous prosecution of the war, with
no peace intrigues through Socialists
but only direct negotiations with the
Central Empires on their initiative.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-06-15

The appointment of Col. Ira L. Reeves,
president OF Norwich university, to a
position in the Office of the chief of the
military bureau at Washington undoubt-
eddy means that the university at North
field will be deprived of his services for
some time, since it is presumed that the
work will be carried through the period
of the war. If such should prove to be
the case, Norwich would be considerably
in its administrative work,
as President Reeves has proven to be an
energetic and tsctful executive; but it is
hoped that Col. Reeves would be able TO
return TO his duties at Norwich at the
close of the war.
