Artillery Activity of Violent
Nature in Prog
reSS
GERMAN ATTACKS
WERE PUT DOWN
Fresh Enemy Troops Were
Probably Thrown into
the Battle

With the American Forces Northwest
of Verdun, Oct IA Thy the Associated
Press Violent artillery actions were il
progress to-day along the greater part
OF the American front. Little change wac
made in the line, but the Germans late
last night laid down barrages that were
preparatory to counter attacks of small
but vicious character.
The most determined effort made by
the enemy was on the left, sevoss the
river Aire between st. Juvin and st,
Georges The Germans advanced in open
order and fought with a steadiness that
indicated fresh troops. Within an hour,
however, the American artillery, sup.
porting the line of infantry with machine
guns, had brought the little offensive to
a halt.

CAN BARRE COME BACK?

For the past two weeks the peo-
pie of Barre have been experience
ing one OF the worst epidemies
that has ever visited the city.
Thanks to the loyalty of hundreds
OF its citizens, who have freely
volunteered their services to re-
lieye the suffering, the situation is
materially improved.
Loyal Barre citizens always re-
spond when the good of their com
munity demands it, and while we
shall severely miss those who have
been taken from us, we must strive
to remember that 1t Is for those of
us who are left to carry on"
In the midst OF our own local
suffering, we must not forget that
we are part Of this great nation.
We have still another duty to per-
form for mankind. Barre has been
asked for 100000 subscription
to the Fighting Fourth" Liberty
loan. What will It's answer be!
A canvass Of the entire city will
be made the latter part Of the
week, to round up all who have
not bought bonds by that time.
Once more we appeal to the people
of Barre to buy bonds without
waiting to be solicited. Please 20
10 your bank and enter your sub
scription to-day or tomorrow.
The banks are oil open tonight
from Z TO s o'clock.
The epidemic has seriously in
terfered with the local campaign.
Just ak days left in which t.
make good ou- allotment. Next
Saturday night will record our sr,-
cess or failure. Only about ore
fourth Of our allotment has been
tnken This is q wonderful show
ing, considering tho local situation,
but we must give the loan atten.
tion this week.
Barre mover does things by
halves We have gone cover the
top" whenever called upon. We
must not fail this time. Vermont
and the nation is looking to Barre
to do its share. We believe it will.
Regardless of German offers of
peace, this loan must he raised.
The government has already spent
the money, and must spend mil
lions more before our brave boys
can come back TO their homes.
If we can recover from our cpl
demic and raise our quota to this
loan this week, Barre will have
justly proved that it can "come
back"

States also take the position taken BY
President Wilson in his addresses.
The German government, in accord.
ance with the Austro. Hungarian govern.
ment, for the purpose Of bringing about
an armistice, declares itself ready Ia
comply with the propositions of the
president in regard TO evacuation.
The German government suggests
that the president may occasion the
meeting of a mixed commission for max
ing the necessary arrangements concern
ing the evacuation.
THE present German government,
which has undertaken the responsibility
for this step toward peace, has been
formed by conferences and in agreement
with the great majority of the Reich.

GUARANTEES MAY BE DEMANDED
BEFORE ARMISTICE is DRAWN UP
BARRE'S CAMPAIGN
GETS UNDER WAY
Delayed By Epidemic, Movement to Raise
the City's Quota in Fourth Liberty
Loan Was Started To-day.

With little more than quarter OF its
quota of 100000 subscribed, Barre to-
day entered upon week of Liberty loan
activities which is expected to carry the
city over the top. Three times Barre
has responded to the call for bond sub
scriptions, and thus far it has not failed
the boys who are fighting the commu-
nitys battles over there. Not to be be-
guiled by the subtle peace propaganda Of
the German junkers, the committee, con-
sistlng OF representatives of the four To-
cal banks, to-day completed their plans
for an intensive campaign calculated to
make up for the delay occasioned by the
influenza epidemic. For all Of the diff.
culties attending the campaign to date,
around 100000 worth of bonds of the
Fighting Fourth have been subscribed to
date, and by Saturday night IL is CON
fidently expected that the remaining
three-fourths will have been taken.
Peace kites sent aloft by the Huns
seem to have served only as an incentive
to additional subscriptions. There is
nothing thus far to indicate that the Ger
mans are willing to abandon their fond
ness for baby killing, for numbering help
less seamen, for bombing Red Cross hos
pitals, or for despoiling defenseless cities.
The people of Hunland, for all of the
Wanted boasts that the latest peace note
represents their wishes, have not gone so
far back toward the cross roads of ma
tional destiny as to be willing to deliver
Kaiser William as an expiation for the
murder of Edith Cayell The war is still
on, and il Americas battles are TO be
waged to successful conclusion, the
Fighting Fourth must be subscribed
Barre must reach it's goal of 100000,
just as the nation must subscribe the
necessary six billions

MUCH MATERIAL
TAKEN BY ALLIES
German Retreat Is SO Rapid That They
Are Unable to Take Away
ALI of It

Paris, Oct. IA tHayasl - Newspapers
here believe that as result of the con.
tinuous advance of the allies the Ger.
mans viii be forced to retreat hastily to
the Lille Mezieres. Metz line.
The Gemrsn retreat is being carried
out with difficulty, owing to the bonn
bardment of railroads by airplanes and
large amounts Of booty are abandoned
by the Germans everywhere British
troops are reported to have outfanked
Bouchain and TO be advancing on Densin,
from which town they are but three
miles distant.
American forces are advancing in the
direction of Dun-sur Mouse, in the Ar.
gonne sector, according to the Intran.
signant.

In the meantime, President wilson had
called Secretaries Lansing and Baker to
the White House for conference. The
sidering the German communication since
president and Mr. Lansing had been con-
Saturday night, when the unofficial text
reached them, and Secretary Baker, just
back from France, was prepared to give
frst-hand information about the situa-
tion at the battle front, which has
brought about the German eagerness for
peace.
Colonel e. NJ House, who accompanied
the president last night on his return
from the New York Liberty loan trip,
joined in the conference.
The only official intimation that has
come regarding the probable course of
the president is that he is sure to act
quickly and positively. Everywhere in
Washington, however, the confident be-
lief prevailed that whatever might be the
form Of that action, it would not con-
template cessation of hostilities nor
negotiations for peace with the German
government, except upon conditions
amounting to unconditional surrender.
1t is assumed that since Saturday
night at least informal exchanges have
taken place between Washington and the
capitals of the co-belligerents. Informed
of the views of the allied premiers, the
president may determine before the day
is over whether his reply to the German
request that he propose an armistice and
peace negotiations shall be fiat refusal
to make any such proposal at the in
stance of the present German govern
ment, or renewed statement of the
conditions under which peace must be re.
stored.
1t was suggested that the president
might ask for joint session of the
House and Senate to communicate his
decision and the reasons for it to Con-
gress, the country and the world
Secretary Daniels joined the White
House conference. The president and his
advisers were together for nearly two
hours. Then the cabinet officers and Colo
mel House walked over to the state, war
and navy building leaving the president
alone in his study, where nearly all of
his notes and utterances have been
drafted
The Swiss charge appeared at the state
department shortly after the appointed
time and delivered the note without
comment. Colonel House was in Secre-
tary Lansing's Office at the time.
A few minutes later the note was in
the hands of the president. A state de-
partment messenger took it to the White
House as soon as Secretary Lansing had
read the document and found it did not
differ from the wireless version,
It developed that Counselor Pork, OF
the state department, was at the British
embassy in consultation with ColvilIe
Barclay, counselor and charge in the alb
senee of Lord Reading, and other off
cals of the embassy.
Counselor Polks visit was considered
to be significantly connected with the
word from London that the British gov.
ernment is inclined to oppose the grant.
ing of an armistice until complete guar
antees Of both military and naval ma
ture come from Germany. This develop
ment, reported in Associated Press dis
patches from London, probably has some
relation to the announcement Saturday
that Great Britain, France and Italy were
agreeing upon common line of action.

ALLIES HAVE THEIR
OWN INTERPRETATION
Although They May Adhere in Principle
to Wilson's Express Program
of Peace.

Washington, y. c., Oct. l4--An official
dispatch from Rome to-day says, while
The Italian public knows the allied gov
crnments adhere in principle to President
Wilson's expressed program Of peace,
they have opinions Of their own clearing
up Wilson's principles ON special points
of national interest"
If President Wilson thinks the reply to
his inquiry makes it possible, the Italian
press thinks lie now will, in accord with
the allies, establish conditions for an
nrmistice which should comprise all in.
dispsnsable military guarantees.

crat, introduced resolution stipuIating
that no peace pact be entered into by the
