Rev Mr.. Reardou has been pastor of

Those who favor new franchise for
the traction company look with undis,
guised satisfaction on the result Of the
vote in Montpelier last night, although
people on the other side, who believe
that the proposed new franchise /.
against the best interests of the city.
argue that conditions which obtain at
the capital do not necessarily apply III
Barre, and that the verdict in Mont

to trade away the privilege of regulating
a public utility that runs through thei,s
streets The traction matter is to be
considered under the eighth and last ar

First in the evenings procedure is to

GERMAN RESERVES DEPLETED.
Military Masters Have Used Large Mum
ber of Divisions.

London. March ~ Telegraphing late
on Tuesday, the correspondent of the

France, says that nearly two thirds of

tack.
This German reserve" he adds, "con-
sisted of S5 divisions, totalling 275,000
men, out of total number now reach
ing not far short OF 200 divisions, or
possibly 100000 men, which they have
prt upon the western front. After the
first day 33 of these divisions were put
into the battle. Since then they must
have drawn upon the reserve for few
more divisions.
1T is therefore clear that we have
been struggling with the whole available
of the German army, and. the marvel
is that our soldiers have held out so OBJ
stinateIy and steadily against odds SO
