 JUNEAU. Alaska, Oct. 26.-Indicative of the terrific storm which caused the steamer Princess Sophia to plunge from her rocky ledge on Vanderbilt reef into Tho waters of Lynn canal, were the statements made by officers of the canadian Pacific steamer Amy which returned from the scene Of the wreck yesterday.

When the Amy left the Sophia, that vessel was resting for about two- thirds Of her length on the rocks of the reef which is four miles west of Sen firsi island and half way between Jun eau and Slagway. The Sophia was then taking on water. She was surrounded hy deep water on both sides. but with only her stern over deep water, it was thought there was no danger of the steamer slhiing off the rocks. The reef vas covered. however. at half-tide and Inc heavy seas had prevented attempts Go take off the passengers.
 The Sophia's only freight cargo is said Co have consisted of 40 horses.

PARIS, Oct. 26.-The newspapers regard the arrival of Colonel Edward M. House as of great importance to the belligerent powers, associated with the United States, as step to attain ing political unity which is considered to be equally as important as military unity.
 The only positive declaration in reviewers were able to obtain from him." says La Liberte, twas that he arrives as the official representative of the United States and the presi- dent. It is no longer a question of d private mission, but an official repre- sentation accredited to the European allier. This is important. Henceforth the United States will be represented at the inter-allied council of Versailles in complete fashion-no longer for military affairs only"

 COPENHAGEN, Oct. 26.-A great demonstration in favor of an independent Hungary occurred in Budapest Friday. Thousands of people assembled outside of the parliament buildings and demon strated in favor of peace and Karolyi cabinet. Two hundred of ficers took part in this manifesto ton.
 COPENHAGEN, Oct. 26.-The Berlin LokaI Anzeiger says a new note will be sent by Germany to President Wilson as soon as pos sble. A crown council, under the several hours, reached this deci- sion Friday.
 The note, it is asserted, will point out the changes which have taken place in the German constitution.
 TOXIC, Friday, Oct. 25.-(By the Associated Press). = Unqualified admiration of President Wilson's attitude toward Germany is ex- pressed in official circles. The re- ply is praised highly as deserving the most profound attention of all the belligerent nations fighting a common enemy, who is a deliberate transgressor of the cause of peace, justice and humanity.
 President Wilson's note is con- sidered to be fully comprehensive. His refusal to treat with the Pruss- ian rulers of Germany, according to opinion here, is as explicitly and unmistakably expressed as to arouse admiration worthy of a lead ing champion of international jus tice. The reply is considered to be worth treasuring as a most vaIu- able addition to official wartime correspondence

abutting the house, just in front of the
barn, and from this stand, decorated
gaily with bunting, ice cream in cones
was dispensed for the benefit of the Red
Cross. Thirteen gallons were sold, and
this, with a portion of the dance pro-
ceeds which Mr. Foote donated to the
Cornwall Red Cross, made a consider
able sum realized for this patriotic ser
vice.
1t was on August 20, 1917, that light
ming struck Mr. Foote'S old barns,
which were several adjoining buildings
in terraces covering the site of the new
barn. His loss at that time in addition
to the barns included forty tons of hay
and forty tons of ALFALFA total loss of
about S7,OO0-the live stock all being
saved. Directly after the fire Mr.. Foote
laid plans for replacing the old barns
with one of the finest farm structures in
the county, and before another fall he
will have completed it with every mod
ern detail,
Over 1000 feet of virgin forest lum-
Der furnished by William Tisdale of
East Middlebury from the Battell lands
in Ripton, which are now the property
of the Middlebury college are being
used in the new barn. 1t is the first
barn in the country built on the James
way plan, having a plan frame entirely
Mr. Foote estimates that the structure
complete will not cost him over $4,000
The roof is supported, as will be seen
from the picture, by arches of planking
without any ross-beaming. The main
floor dimensions are 165 AZ feet, and
the foundations are of concrete, provid-
ing a roomy basement which will be
used for COW and sheep barn. One
end will be provided with stanchions for
SO cows and the other end an enclosure
for 60 sheep. The second floor will be
the horse barn and hay loft, with capa-
city for l75 tons of hay
A strange coincidence of misfortune
is the fact that on the Monday follow
ing the dance in his new barn, Mr.
Foote suffered second fire loss. The
old Booth and Walker hay barn neal
the railroad station in Vergennes was
burned, in which Mr.. Foote had tempo.

that the fire started from the spark o.

Spanish influenza had first claim to-
day on the attention of the House.
At the opening of the session Repre-
sentative Lazaro Of Louisiana, him
self a medical practitioner. addressed
the House on the subject of influenza.
The next business was the reporting
of a special rule to allow immediate
consideration of the public health bill,
through which it is hoped to fortify
the public health service in its fight
against the epidemic.
Representative Lazaro, in his speech.
urged that the people can greatly
help to check the spread of the dis
ease by cooperating with the public
health service. He said that in the
District of Columbia the situation is
particularly difficult. He described
from personal observation crowded
conditions under which war workers
in government Offices do not have
proper ventilation.
He also said that their vitality is
reduced by living conditions, which
make them more susceptible to the
disease. He advised that the people
can help to protect themselves from
the disease by giving the best possible
care and food to the war workers who
