= Welkin Ring with Victcry Paans.
For the people of Barre and vicinity 10
bells will sound the knell of Prussianism
Get ready to celebrate--but wait for 10
strokes from the big bell in the tower at
the fire station, 10 blasts from the alarm
whistle at the gas plant
| Unless the Huns are as crazy as they
are cruel, the dawn of peace is just over
the horizon 1t will be here before Mon
day, and in the meantime the citizens of
Barre are completing plans for ceebra
tion that will be commensurate with the
epochal event which the signal-l0 bells
is to announce. Yesterday and to-day
members of the Barre Board of Trade
and the city council canyassed the field
thoroughly and, as might readily be ex,
pected, they found no one who lacked en-
thusiasm for the proposed celebration.
Their efforts eliminated in mass meet
ing of business and professional men and
workingmen in manufacturers hall this
forenoon. IL was unanimously voted 20
celebrate the moment that word comes
OF the impending German capitulation.
No matter what time of the day or night
the message is received, it will be relayed
at once TO the fire station and the signal
previously arranged will arouse the town
and countryside. Thus il will be seen
that every man, woman and child who
realizes that never in lifetime may a
similar opportunity for celebrating de-
yelop must be ready on the minute to
participate. In a special message, re-
printed IN sto-day's Times, Mayor +. c.
Glysson not only appeals TO his constit-
uents TO take their part in the forthcom-
ing celebration, but also extends an urg-
ent invitation to the people of Barre
Town and other surrounding towns to
come down and take hand. There will
besplenty to do and plenty to see.
The signal may come this evening.
Perhaps il win arrive in the dead of
night and then it may disturb the medi-
tations Of quiet New England Sabbath.
By all signs it win sound sometime be-
fore Monday afternoon, and it won't
make any difference what the hour may
be. Every member of the committee Civ
en- below has constituted himself min
ute man to respond on the shortest no.
