Great Events Are Believed

RAPIDLY WANING
Radical Changes Are Being
Made in the Con-

Washington, d. c., Oct. l7.-Great
events are impending in Germany. That
they will come within day, week or q
month, officials will not hazard guess !;
that they are inevitable no one in Wash
ington doubts.
Unofficial reports coming from Holland
and Switzerland that Germany imne-
diately viii accept President Wilson's
peace terms are without confirmation
here; nor is there any information that
GerInnny's reply has been drawn. In
fact, Swiss dispatches, saying the Reich
stag viii meet tomorrow to discuss
President Wilson's note, would indicate
no reply has yet been drafted
Internal conditions as well as the milf
tary situation are expected to dictate
both the form and promptness of Ger.
many's answer One was regarded as
only little less serious than the other
and there always was the possibility
that, combined, they had forced the
German leaders to a conclusion even be-
fore the first note asking for an armis-
tiee was dispatched.
From behind the veil of secrecy within
the empire rumbhngs of discomfort long
have been reaching the outside world,
but the extent Of the upheayal cannot
yet be accurately gagged The fact
that radical changes are being made in
the German constitution and unofficial
reports that the kaiser has relnquished
his power TO declare martial law were
but further indications that the power
Of the junkers rapidly is waning.

DIED IN BASE HOSPITAL.
Private Giovanni ScOpel Entered Service
May IS.

Private Giovanni Scopel, mentioned in
to-day's casualty list as being among
those who died in France Of disease, was
among the Barre men who marched down
the streets of this city and took the
train for Camp Devens on the morning
OF May 25 Tidings of his demise reached
05 Pleasant street last week, but the
news was withheld from Adele Scopel
his only near relative in America who
lies dangerously i'll of the influenza.
The dead soldier was 25 years old and
native of Italy, although he had resd
ed here five years before he joined the
national army last spring. He was
granite cutter by trade, and besides the
brother mentioned, he leaves brothers
and sisters in Italy. Letters which pre-
ceded the telegram telling of Private
Scopel's death lead TO the conclusion that
be died in base hospital in France
after lingering illness From period
OF intensive training at Devens, the
young man left for France late in the
summer.

Since the beginning of the week there
has been little heavy fighting in the area
southeast of Cambria, where the British
and Americans made such rapid strides
last week after the capture Of Cambria.
The Germans resisted strongly on the
line of the Selle, and it is these defenses
that the British and probably the Ameri-
rams under the same command are as
kauIting.
South Of Bohani, the southern end of
the attacking front, the French troops
are reported in contact with the Germans
along the whole 0ise-Serre front. This
undoubtedly means the Germans are re
tiring from the awkward angle between
the two rivers in continuation of the
withdrawal movement from the Laon
massif.
On a front Of more than 30 miles in
Flanders, the Belgians, French and Brit
ish continue to push forward vigorously.
Courtrai and Thourout, important rail
way functions on the flanks of the at
tacking front, have fallen to the Beigians
and British, while in the center the
French have taken Lichteryelde and Ar
doye. Courtrai probably is the most i'm
portant of the rail centers feeding the
Lille area. Thorout is IL miles southwest
of Bruges, which is less than 10 miles
from the Dutch frontier
On both sides of the Meuse, the Amer
leans maintain their pressure, which re-
suited in capture of important ground
north and northeast of the Argonne for
est Wednesday. East of the river the
Americans have gained important high
ground.

his machine was injured.
The IN chine, driven by Lieutenant H,
ID. Merritt, assisted by Sergeant Robert
Williams, left Brendley Field, Commack,
L. L., early this morning, accompanied by
four other planes being sent to Connect
cut, and arrived over Hartford shortly
after 8 o'clock Because of the fog, the
airmen were unable to see the landing
place at Goodwin park and cruised around
in the air for some time. Finally Lieu
tenant Merritt decided to attempt a
landing Gliding towards Goodwin park,
he lost his bearings and his machine
struck tree glancing blow. This
hurled the machine into the corner of a
house, tearing down electric light and
telephone wires and ripping of some Of
the shingles The airplane then fell to
the ground and was badly damaged.

THREE DEATHS TO-DAY.
The Lowest Number in Three Weeks of
the Epidemic,

The low ebb that indicates final Grad
ication seems to have been reached in
Barre's epidemic of pneumonia and the
grip. To-day the death toll was the
smallest in three weeks and far smaller
than the daily average of week ago.
Only three persons succumbed to the
disease. They were: Mrs. Ernesto Pro-
vosi Of 2S Wiley street; Arthur G.
Vanetti Of The Northern; Mrs, B. Mari
otti Of l6 Howard street, The death Of
the four month-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joanquin Gomez of 2S Addison place was
due to complication of diseases.
To-day those who are hoping that the
process Of eliminating influenza from the
scheme Of things in Barre will be com
pleted at the end Of the week did not
see much encouragement in statements
from official sources 1t is an accepted
fact that much depends upon the atti
tude of the state board of health, which,
however, win not fail to take cognizance
of the opinions held by members Of the
local board and physicians. 1t is said
to be the desire of the authorities to rid
Barre finally Of the malady, and to that
end they will not hesitate to declare@a
weeks extension Of the quarantine If
conditions seem TO warrant. There is
reported to be little likelihood that the
schools will reopen next Monday, and
if the prescription on school sessions
continues for another ten days, it goes
without saying that churches may not
be reopened Sunday, and the same con
tinuation Of the closing order undoubt
edly will apply to all public gatherings.
Under the thorough supervision of
the district nurse, the relief work inau
gIrated by the community committee
fortnight ago still is being continued
in places where it is most needed Physi-
clans are still noting that the few new
cases which develop are extremely mild
in comparison with the earlier cases. The
days OF the epidemic are numbered.
