THE LAST GAIL.

Undoubtedly there were many Barre
people who, for some reason or other,
were not solicited yesterday for purchase
of bonds of the fourth Liberty loan is
sue. Failure of solicitors to see them
does not release those people from per-
sonal obligation to their government.
Therefore, it is expected that they will
now come forward Of their own volition
and make their applica tions at the banks.
Then, again, there are many persons who
are financially able to double their sub
scriptions, or at any rate to increase
the amount largely over that first sub
scribed. They also are earnestly request
ed to go TO the bS lks at once and in
crease their support of the government
In connection with yesterdays can
vass, it may be said that a universal
willingness to lend money to the govern
ment was manifested, only that it was
tempered somewhat by the concrete fact
that money was not so plentiful as usual
because of the effects of four weeks
siege of Spanish influenza and the forced
shutdown Of much Of the industrial and
commercial life of the community for a
considerable part Of that period. People
were eager to lend their support but they
were forced, in many cases, to stare al
the bottom of pocketbooks. Neverthe
less, there is confidence that with the in
hux of subscriptions as an aftermath o
the houseto-house canvass the money
expected from Barre will be Forthcoming
That, however, is dependent in larg,
measure on whether those who are finan
eially able will do their part in the shor
time remaining.

The steady pressure which General
Pershing's army has been maintaining
against the southern flank Of the German
forces has not resulted in any spectacu.
lar results thus far, but its very steadi-
ness and relentlessness has probably
worked Transformation in the defen-
sive strength of the Germans which is
bound to bring results of tremendous
significance within short time. The
spectacular performances may come at

II should not be taken for granted that
because the influenza epidemic is on the
wane in Barre it will not revive again
The only safeguard against a return of
the epidemic is to take steps at once tc
isolate cases when they appear. A single
case which is not kept in strict isolation
will Immediately spread into an ever
widening circle, Therefore, it is the part
of wisdom to take the situation in hand
Immediately.

The Fourth LibertyLoan

For the fourth time our government asks the public
Tor funds with which to prosecute the war The
larger than any previous oan because of the growing
cost OF the war Our army is approximately
million nine hundred thousand men, Food guns, NUM-
ons transportation and the necessary attendant costs
mount into the billions The strain Of the war is upon
us. We now have realizing of the present and
impending loss in and money the necessity for
ice and sacrifice for economy and patriotic devotion In
order that the lives Of army abroad may be saved
the suffering of the sick and wounded amelorated there
must be an unbroken flow of guns munitions and army
equipment of food medicine and hospital supplies To
insure this uninterrupted flow in sufficient volume the
government needs the funds it asks for

forced the United States into the war; believing in her

Medical men say that the influenza
epidemic will come again in 1919 and
again in 1920, only in decreasing vio-
lence each year. The knowledge which
we have gained in 1918 ought to prove
valuable in the new epidemics.

That German threat of tremendously
increased submarine activity against en-
tente shipping next winter could not
have been built up on the theory that
Germany would still have the submarine
bases of Ostend and Zeebrugge available.
Those bases are already untenable for
the enemy even though not yet occupied
by allied forces.

Notwithstanding the war and the cpl.
demic, Brattleboro has been busy and
has secured new industry, which prom
ises to employ about 100 hands. That
sort of news makes pleasing variation
from the gruesome. We hope that other
Vermont towns will soon be able TO an
nounce similar success along industrial
and commercial lines.

The failure of the retreating Germans
to set fire to the large city of Lille in
northern France is undoubtedly bit of
evidence that Germany is beginning to
fear reprisal just as soon as the allied
armies get on German soil 1t is not to
be expected for one minute that the Ger
mans changed their tactics because Of a
real change of heart in the matter.

Gas Masks and Whiskers.

To be clean shaven or bearded like
the pard is the alternative presented
to the German first-line troops. The
reason is the gas mask. Some au-
thorities hold that the mask cannot be
relied upon to protect any but clean
shaven faces; others again hold that
a dense hirsute growth within the
mask acts as an additional air filter.
But it must be a real patriarchal beard
no mere or ID days bristles, says
an article in the Deutsche Tageszei-
tung. The writer holds that the full
beard is a peculiarly Teutonic attri-
butte, and should be cultivated as such.
Besides, according to ancient tradi-
lions, it adds to 'frightful aspect" he
naively adds. Gas tests at the front
in alright cubicles are carried out
every fortnight, and full-bearded men
testify to the additional security at
forded by their boards.

Within Sound of the Guns.

A new sound arose in the darkness,
q sound which held for me a thrill as
vital and incomparably more alluring
than the hint of distant battle. Il rose
slowly, a rich, mellow undulation,
which stirred every fiber, and then
quavered, descended and broke off. We
stood motionless, listening with all our
ears, and again it came, Enthusiastically,
from the depths of the misty woods.
My companion smiled at me in tri-
umph His first surprise had come off
promptly, even ahead of time, for it
was only now growing dusk. We could
see in imagination the dropped tail, the
hollow-cheeked muzzle raised skyward
"a wolf uttering that cry which of all
sounds is most symbolic of the north
ern wilderness; I'm hurlement plaintiff
ct lugubre. / could not believe my ears,
that here in the heart of France, with
in sound Of the guns at the front, I
had heard the voice of a wild wolf

Beavers Teach Engineers.

A group of Uncle Sans army engi-
neers received an unexpected lesson
in engineering at Bronx park. They
learned in the space of one hour how
to repair a broken dam and prevent
q disastrous flood. Their instructors
were nine beavers, who were romping
in the water of the pond. Above them
was a dam 200 feet long and several
feet high. Suddenly came rush of
water The swollen stream broke
into a torrent Old man Beaver ap-
pealed to his offspring and the eight
sprang after him. They seized pieces
of timber, earth, rocks and sod. They
worked with feverish haste. Stone by
stone and timber by timber the wa
ter was slowly held back. One hour
after the water broke the dam was re-
paired. eff we can hold the Huns
like those chaps stopped that flood of
water the war will be over In six
months" commented one of the Off
GERS. 81 reckon science hasn't taught
us so much, after ALL" said a bystand-
er. "Those beavers know more about
their speciality than we do about war
or building canals."-New York Trib-

Use Found for opera Hats.

From a French inventor comes an
advertising sign in which an opera hat
is its housing. The sides of the hat
are cut so that letters are removed
that spell out the words of the sign.
These letter holes are covered over
with a thin light fabric of the same
color as the hat. When unlighted the
letters remain invisible, but with one
or more battery lamps placed inside
and lighted, the hat becomes a conspic-
uous advertisement. The batteries
may be carried in the pocket and wired
under the coat to the neck and up to
the hat over the hair on the back of
the head. The current can be flashed
on and off with a switch in the coat
pocket. This is a real novelty in adj
vertising signs and one which would be
sure to attract attention:-Popular Sci

HISTORY WROUGHT IN STONE
MarveIs of French Architecture Which
the UnciviIized Hordes of Ger
many Would Destroy.

In architecture France is supreme.
It well may be said that without
France there would have been no Goth
ic architecture. The cathedrals Of
France are absolutely unrivaled, says
Cass Gilbert in the Worlds Work. One
has only to mention the names of No
tire Dame de Paris, Bourges, Reims,
Charities, Rouen, Amiens, Beauvais and
Coutances to bring up memories of mir
acles of creative design which no
words can fittingly characterize or de-
scribe.
Wonders of constructive ingenuity
as they are, they have yet more SUI
preme significance as evidence of the
refinement and taste of people in
stinct with emotion and ennobled by
idealism in its most exalted phase.
These great buildings give expression
to the spiritual aspirations of great
people.
They are constructions of superb
scale and fascinating beauty, embel-
lished by tracery and arabesque, cary
ing and inlay, stained glass, tapestry,
bronze and iron of marvellous crafts
manship and exquisite design. They
are the product of thousand years
of faultless taste, the contribution of
innumerable thousands of craftsmen
devoted to the glory of God and the
love of France. And it is this glorious
nation that the hordes of Germany
would destroy.

Could NOT Save comrade.

A fruitless but daring attempt to
rescue a man under the most unfavor-
able conditions was recently made by
William r. Ransford, a seaman of the
national naval volunteers, and Allen
J. Jackson, wardroom cook. The
man lost was a seaman named w. A.
Wells. He slipped and fell overheard
from the forward turret of the U. S. S.
Iowa. 1t was cold weather and the
water was full of floating ice. Never
theless Ransford and Jackson went
overheard after the man, but were too
late to save him from drowning.

but managed to quaver: "W-who G.

that he wasn't going to be killed right
away, says Flanagan, regaining his
courage: advance then and give the
