REFUSED BANK CHARTER
Because Applicants Had Shown So Little
Patriotism

Washington, d. C., April % - The
comptroller of the currency recently ap-
proved an application for charter for a
new national bank in certain western
state, as there was, apparently, an open.
ing for a bank in the community in
which ii was to be established and the
applicants seemed to be men of respon-
sibility and means and some promi-
nenee.
Subsequently, doubt arose as to the
loyalty and patriotism of the applicants,
and it was sseertained that although
the six applicants for the charter were
reported to be men of considerable means
several of them claiming TO be worth a
quarter OF million dollars or more
the aggregate amount of Liberty bonds
Of the first and second issues to which
the six applicants had subscribed was
only $500, several of the applicants for
the charter having taken no Liberty
bonds at all, and their aggregate sub
scriptions to the Red Cross had been
only sl49.
The comptroller has revoked the au
thority given for the organization Of this
proposed national bank, on the ground
that men of means in these times who
show so little patriotism and so little
public spirit in the matter of making
to Liberty bonds and to
the Red Cross are unfit to be placed in
charge of any national bank.

John G. McMinn Had Lived in Barre for
20 Years.

Yesterday afternoon, the end following
an illness of two weeks. Death was due
to cerebral hemorrhage, and. the patient

his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John McMinn

trade, although during the later years OF
his residence here he was an insurance

BARRE TOWN CANVASS.
Intensive Drive for Liberty Loan to Be
Started Friday, April &c.

Barre Town is to start an intensive
Liberty loan drive tomorrow, and the
plan is to give everybody chance to
subscribe and help along the good cause.
There already has been a fairly good re-
sponse from the town, between $1,000
and $4,000 having been subscribed at the
banks in this city up to yesterday. The
towns quota is $4,000.
Frank c. Bancroft is chairman of the
committee and associated with him are
f. L. Sargent, DR.. +. H. Bailey and w. II.
Miles They are anxious that Barre
Town shall not be delinquent and they
believe that the people of the town feel
the same way about it, only they haven't
got stirred up to make their subscrip-
tions Therefore, the house to house can
vass is to be started, SO that no one shall
miss an invitation to participate in the
government loan, the best security in the
market to-day.
All the villages in the town will be
covered and a special effort viii be made
to enlist the farmers in the loan, as the
farmers throughout the country are re-
spending well to the call of the govern
ment Vermont farmers, too, are buying
the third Liberty loan bonds much faster
than on either of the previous drives, 1t
is believed that the farmers of Barre
Town will also respond if the matter is
presented TO them personally.

THE LOSS OF vILLERS.
Second Attack on Village Gave Germans
the Possession.

London, April 25.-Field Marshal Haie
reported last night that the Germans
have taken Villers- Bretonneux. The
text of the statement reads:
''About 6:30 this morning, after vio-
lent bombardment, the enemy attacked
our whole front south of the Somme
and the French on our right and was
repulsed.
Later in the morning an attack on
our positions in this sector was re-
newed in strength and, although re-
pulsed with loss on the southern and
northern positions of the front, made
progress at Nillers Bretonneux, where
the fighting has been severe through
out the day. BY evening the enemy had
gained possession of the village, and the
fighting was continuing.
"Other attacks by the enemy this
morning on the north bank of the
Somme and north of Albert were re-
pulsed; we secured a few prisoners.
"By successful local operation ear
ried out this morning northeast of Fes-
tubert post captured by the enemy in
this locality on the 22d was regained.
The hostile garrison offered strong re-
sistance and lost heavily We captured
few prisoners and four machine guns.
Early in the morning the enemy de-
.livered strong local attack, without
success. against our new positions east
of Robecq. Our line was maintained in
tact and 81 prisoners were left in cur
hands Additional prisoners were Sc
cured in successful minor enterprises in
the forest of Nieppe and in the neghbor
hood of Meteren."
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-04-25

rounding places were heavily sheled
and yesterday morning the lombard
ment was greatly increased.
On the northern battlefront the Ger
man artillery pounded the entente al.
lied positions Tuesday, especially in the
Robecq and Merville sector, and yes
terday morning an intense bombardment
was put down in the British positions on
both sides of the River Lave. Thus a
large section Of the northern battlefront
was seething yesterday.
An attack above Albert about yes
terday morning came after a half hour
bombardment by the enemy. As the
German infantry left their trenches the
British deluged them with rifles and pa :
chine gun fire and forced hasty re-
tirement.
A British operation Tuesday over a
200-yard front in the Riez du Vinage
sector was a complete success and great
ly improved the defending lines A
nasty salient about 1900 yards wide and
about the same depth had bulged into
the British territory just north of Reiz
du Vinage. BY their attack the British
drove the enemy from this salient and
Strengthened their line.
Between Robecq and Givenchy- les la
Bassee there was also considerable enc
my shelling yesterday morning and the
Germans made a small attack in an at
tempt to take post near Givenchy. But
this movement was quickly stopped by
the British fire. The British carried
out minor operations at Givenchy, which
resulted in the recapture of strong
post which the enemy held
South of the Clarence river four Ger
man companies which esssyed a local at
tack were repulsed.

He was then assigned to battery c of the

Barre's Subscription to the
Third Liberty Loan Took
a Big Boost
CANVASSERS NJ
WITH MUCH 4 ACCESS
The Returns a AyNot Tabu-
lated an Sne Sale
CoEnueS

| Eighty thousand dollars or more was
the estimate placed by the community
committee of the Liberty bond drive in
Barre yesterday, when canvassers as
signed to the several wards in the city
waged an active and successful campaign
for the sale of bonds. At city hall last
evening the entire first floor was convert
ed into a clearing house and for the bet
ter part of three hours solicitors and
their captains were working on the ag-
gregates for each ward. For the reason
that the returns, even as they were rep
resented to-day, are incomplete, no at
tempt to reckon the exact amount sue
ceeded. To the sizeable sum represented
by the work of the canvassers was added
the counter sales reported by the four
banks
1t may be Saturday and it may be
later before the committee is able to
tabulate definitely the results of the
drive. Before the eampaigners were
summoned to their task by serenade of
whistles and bells yesterday the sum of
100000 had been subscribed through the
four banks. To this total may be added
the estimated total of $4,000 brought in
yesterday, making an aggregate of Sl40,-
900. However, the effects of yesterdays
drive may not be measured in offhand
fashion, and to-day bankers were say
ing that subscriptions entered this FORE
noon could be traced to the organized eff
fort Of yesterday.
Too much credit cannot be given the
granite manufacturing plants, where the
results were altogether surprising and
gratifying. There are several 100 per
cent plants in the city. and the net sub
scriptions in some of the larger plants
exceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the committee, Women responded as
as the men in making an ef
fectiye canvass. Down in ward 3, long
before the final returns were tabulated,
the women solicitors had more than ST.
900 TO their credit. One woman, in an
other ward, turned in over $4,000 worth
Of bonds. 1t was evidently a popular
for bonds of the smaller de-
predominated. The oppor-
tunity to subscribe is still held out to
people who like TO exemplify their loyalty
in this substantial way, and while a
steady inflow OF subscriptions must con-
.inue if Barre is to raise the honor flag,
here is confidence in every camp that
eventually this city will repeat its pre-
'ious achievements by going over the
,Op.

Age Who Have Been Studying.

The first call for Vermont men within
the draft who have been studying in
evening schools in the different trades
has been made, which goes to show that
Vermont is ahead OF several of the states
in the work. The results of these night
trade schools apparently will be OF great
help to the men The educational de-
partment to-day received a request from
the war department to certify the men
who have qualified In the night school
course, so il is expected that these men
will be called in the different branches
of the mechanical service they have been
preparing. IT is probable that they will
be given more special training and then
assigned, which will mean warrant Of
flee or commissions TO them.
There are 10 men in gas welding at
Proctor; 81 in auto repairing and truck
driving at Burlington; three in sheet
metal work in Burlington; 10 in auto
