PRES, VIII LSONL LANDED AT BREST AND
LEFT SOON AFTERWARDS FOR PARIS
SOCIAL WORKER FOR BARRE.
Miss Louise M. Gridley of Montpelier
Engaged for the Position.

For the first time in the history of the
city Barre is to have a paid social work
er. Authorization for the creation of a
social welfare department was obtained
from the city council a week ago when
the charity committee, after returning
its report on local conditions growing out
of the influenza epidemic, made pressing
recommendations in favor of welfare
worker among those who need it most
The aldermanic charity committee, in
session at city hall last evening, engaged
Miss Louise NJ. Gridley Of Montpelier to
take charge of the work, beginning Nom
day. Mayor i. c. Glysson was called
in conference with the members Of the
charity committee, and it was at the
conclusion of the meeting that the selec-
tion of Miss Gridley, among other candi-
dates, was announced
At the outset her duties are to be
mainly in the way of investigation. She
is to make careful survey of conditions
before reporting to the charity depart
ment. The influenza impoverished many
families in addition TO depriying others
of the family bread winner and late in
the fall the charity committee was con-
fronted by problems that demanded care
full attention Departmental expenses
have increased by leaps and bounds, un-
til at the present time they average near
ly $4,000 monthly. The social workers
survey is expected to uncover a good deal
of information that will be useful to the
charity committee in determining the
future policy of the department.
The new welfare worker is not un-
familiar with social work in Vermont.
Her student training, subsequent to her
graduation from high school, was re-
ceived in Carleton college, Minnesota, and
normal institute in New York, and
from a graduate course in Washington.
At the University of Tennessee, Miss
Gridley had training in playground
technique, and in the University of Chi
cago she studied general psychology, eco
Monies and sociology. Her practical eX-
perience covers period OF 10 years,
which may be sketched as follows: Vol
unteer visitor at Cherry street mission
and the Spring street Neighborhood
house, New York; kindergarten director
and resident neighborhood worker at
Belle Bryan day nursery, Richmond Va;
kindergarten director in the Montpelier
public schools, with special emphasis on
mothers clubs, field worker for the
Montpelier Welfare league; for three
years volunteer, cooperating with the
Montpelier poor department in the ca
paeity Of visitor, buyer and home assist
ant in budget planning and household
efficiency. Miss Gridley possesses expe-
rienee in domestic science and nursing,
which has been of invaluable service in
her various associations with welfare
work.

that the Williams or Hanley cases viii
be first because Attorney General Bar

wanted to complete these before he went
out of office.

WELL
House-to-House Canvass for
City Hospital Meeting
with Success
BOUTWELL,, MILNE &
VARNUM GIVE $500
Former Patients at the Hos
pital Eager to Help
Swell the Fund

:, Townspeople were ready with gener-
Gus feeling toward the City hospital
when campaigners in the six wards Of
the city began their house to house can
vass this morning. The drive was slated
to continue throughout the day with the
workers under instructions to report
their returns at city hall this evening.
Not much could be learned of the prog
ress OF the drive at noon, as most of the
canvassers were too busy with their
pledge cards to tabulate returns. From
several districts, however, reports re-
ceiyed were wholly heartening. Sub
scribers were encouraged to make their
payments at once, although the option
Of paying weekly, monthly or quarterly
was extended to everyone who gave Ad-
ditions to the initial subscriptions to-
day were: Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum,
$500; Charles J LaClair, $50.
Among the people canyassed were
numbers of eX-patients, many of them
patients detained at the hospital during
the flu epidemic, and they were only too
glad to contribute their bit toward the
lettering a condition of finances that
was precipitated in part by the relief
work carried on in the institution during
the plague Already the hospital fund
has been enhanced by a contribution of
nearly $500 from benefit dances, given
by the Goose Green and the Italian
Pleasure and Veronese clubs, and with
the returns from drives in the stonesheds
and at the quarries Tuesday and Wednes-
day to-day's subscriptions viii make a
splendid total This forenoon a former
patient caifed at the hospital Office and
left 81 as his thank Offering for minis
trations received.
The general committee met in the as
sembly hall at Spaulding school last
evening, together with the drive direc-
tors, the ward captains and the various
eanvassers. Much enthusiasm was
aroused over the morrow's final campaign
and the workers left the meeting with
clear idea of what was expected of them.

Washington, d. c., Dee. l3 - Testi-
mony that Edward Lyell Fox, a writer,
was sent to Germany in 1915 by the Ger
man embassy to write German propa-
ganda, which was distributed by the
Hearst international News Service, was
presented to-day to the Senate committee
investigating brewers and enemy propa-
ganda, by Capt. G B. Lester of the intel
lgence service
In response to questions, Capt. Lester
said there is nothing in the army intelli.
qence records showing whether either Mr..
Hearst or managers Of the international
News Service knew that Fox was in the
pay of the German government.
The witness read a telegram sent from
the German embassy in Washington to
the German foreign Office Sept Q, 1914,
saying:
Chicago Tribune friendly paper"
The witness said he obtained from Fox
an admission that an article appearing in
the New York American on Sept. Is, 1915,
dealing with alleged atrocities by Rus
sian Cossacks, was written by him under
instructions from German officers as a
means of offsetting the stories of Ger
man atrocities in Belgium that had be-
gun 10 come out about that time
Il obtained from Fox his original notes
written in lead pencil on The Cossack
story" Capt. Lester said. "and be ad.
mitted he never saw any of the atrocities
referred to and that to his knowledge
none of them ever was committed Fox
was given courtesies from German officers
that no other correspondent was able to
obtain"
Capt. Lester said that Fox confessed TO
him that while in Germany he had an
understanding that he would write any
thing he was told to write by the Ger
man publicity bureau at Berlin.
Capt. Lester said that as a result of a
request by President Wilson at per-
sonal interview with William Randolph
Hearst, changes were made in the film
play, "Patria," produced serially in the
United States early in 1917, picturing Ja-
pan and Mexico in an alliance against
the United States. The witness cited
this film as one bearing earmarks of
German propaganda.
