THANKS GOOSE GREEN EFT AL.
For Fine Contribution to the Treasury of
Barre Red Cross Branch.

A regular meeting of the Barre branch
of the Red Cross was held last evening
With an attendance OF u. II is not pos.
sible that only II people in Barre and
those places included in the membership
Of the Barre branch are interested in tho
work and so those who were present are
searching for the reason why II seems
impossible TO have a meeting well at
tended They have concluded that per.
haps il is not generally understood that
every person who gave 81 for member
ship fee is still a member, is eligible 10
attend all the meetings of the branch
and to vote, and is expected to do so IL
he is at all interested in the immense
work OF the Rcd Cress the world over.
The president of the local branch. w.
A. Drew, is authority for the statement
that in the Barre branch there are $500
persons who are members sand there
were II present last night,
Hundreds Of persons here are busy
working for the cause, but there should
also be an interest in the business man
agement of the branch, and when meet
imgs are held there should be large at
tendance. Members of other organiza-
tions do not leave the transaction of the
bNslnpsh HlHlieIs 10 lew IHlIHlul ones
who are expected TO attend, but the
members as a whole turn out.
Ii may be that the explanation given
above will bear fruit in the next meeting,
which is earnestly hoped by the officers
of the branch, and let there be more than
IL present out of a membership of $500.
A vote of thanks was extended to the
Goose Green committee and to all other
organizations who contributed to the
funds of the branch, when over $1,000
was raised last month
The New England division meeting of
the Red Cross is to he held in Boston

was elected delegate from the local
branch
1t was announced that over 5000
pounds of clothing were collected for the
Belgium relief at an expense of $40.
With all bills paid, there is now vash
on hand of $500, from which the sum
of 5000 a month was voted last night for
the purchase OF all supplies.

M0NTDIDIER WAS THE CENTER
OF ATTACK ON FRENCH FRONT
WASHINGTON MEN PUZZLED
Because Allies Have Not Begun Coun-
ter Offensive.

Washington, ID. c., April 4.-With the
battle of Picardy brought TO standstill
for the time being, at least, and the ini-
tial momentum of the German drive
overcome, military observers here are
puzzled by the fact that great counter
assault had not developed. !, The psychic
logical moment of the counter stroke um-
der the rules of strategy, they think, is
passing, if it has not already passed,
without recorded movement of the al
lied forces toward throwing back the
exhausted foe before he has had time TO
dig himself in,
Officers here admit. however, that they
do not know what the situation at the
front is. If any report has come from
Generals Bliss or Pershing that would
serve to explain the defensive tactics of
the allies, it is carefully guarded Sc
cret.
1t is possible, it was suggested, that
the plan of campaign mapped out by
General Foch is OF far greater scope than
would be involved in an effort to hurl
the enemy back to his old lines The
German defenses there, which success
fully stemmed the British assault in
1916 are still intact and even if the allies
were successful in rushing the German
lines back over the 20 or 30mile zone
he has wrested from them, they would
face those defenses when their own or
ganization was badly demoralized by
their advance and their men showing the
wear and tear of prolonged offensive.
For this reason some officers were in
elined to look elsewhere for the aggres
sive campaign to which they are pinning
their faith. They have counted upon the
creation OF a unified army under Gen
eral Foch to produce offensive operations
aud they see nothing in the situation at
the present time to warrant the concm
sion that the allies have not the neces-
sary reserve forces or supplies.

WILL WELCOME AMERICANS.
British Troops Glad to Receive Them in
Their Ranks.

| With the British Army in France, April
4 Thy the Associated Press The an
nouncement that American battalions are
| to be added to British divisions has ere
ated the greatest enthusiasm. The fact
that such a move was to be made had
been known for some time by the com
manding officers, who anticipate most
important results from it and accord the
highest praise to tho Americans for the
attitude OF self sacrifice they have adopt
ed in thus placing themselves under a
foreign divisional command.
This action means that, for the time
being the American officers and men may
give up much in the way of possible pro
motion which they might secure were
they fighting under their own command.
The American troops are looked upon as
being among the best in the field. and 1t
is believed that they will fall immediate

One of the greatest striking tributes
to the bravery of the British was a com

road. on the first day of the battle when
the Germans surged forward The enemy
attacked in southeasterly direction un-
der cover of the mists and outfianked the
5lst in its initial rush.

X PEOPLE THINK

One Of the most difficult feats iE
the world is to get people to THINK.
Mans God-given brain distinguish
es him from the animals, but too few
Of US use our upper stories. They ape
like empty garrets-cold and hot IN
turn, never right.
II is the province of the public
prints to make people THINK. This
Is done in various ways. A plain
statement of fact will make a person
think. as we'll as will an editorial.
People who read usually think most
and are. most capable of thinking
nationally.
L~ordsburg's capacity for thinking
IS measured 10 a large extent by its
reading propensities. It's INTELLIGENCE
Is nigh because it reads much.
One Of the menaces of modern life
Is that the reading habit is curtailed
by developments Of the last decade.
One doesn't need to read a librarv
70 enable one TO think intelligently.
he thinks best who reads carefuliy
and reflects much.
That takes a little time, but it is
worth while.

OPENING GUNS OF
WALTON SPRING CAMPAIGN

The opening gum of the sprlng
drive for William b. Walton Of Grant
county for the nomination as senator
on the Democratic ticket next fall
have been fired.
The Albuquerque Herald of Friday
contains a column editorial on the
Hon. W. B. Walton, eulogizing him
and putting him in the limelight as
the best possible Democratic candi-
date for United States senator. The
Santa Fe papers, under a Silver City
date line, herald the possibilities of
Mr.. Walton. Evidently the Silver
City constituents have not been
sleeping on the job.
All the Western Liberal has to say
is that sentiment among the Demo
Gratis in this vicinity is certainly not
against the Grant county man and if
he is nominated he should poll as
many or more Democratic votes than
he did last fall.
