BRITISH TANKS
JPROOTED VILLAGE
In Order to Stop the Fire Of German
Machine Guns, Which Had Serious
ly Hampered the French
Infantry.

London, Aug. 2s.- british Wireless
Service British tanks uprooted a
whole village to stop the fire Of German
machine guns from the houses, in the
recent allied offensive.
The French troops had been seriously
hampered by the German machine guns
in or on the tops of the houses. Tanks
were in the vicinity and message was
sent to them for assistance. These
complied, but the German machine guns
were too well protected to be knocked
out by the fire from the tank guns. Ac-
cordingly the tank commanders com
ferred at the far end Of the village and
decided, in hurried impromptu war
council, to destroy the village by sheer
weight of metal.
The tanks accordingly rammed house
after house, bringing down the machine
guns, extricating themselves from the
ruins Of one house, then proceeding to
the next In this way the village was
captured without a single British casual
ty, and at once occupied by the French.
In another attack tank was set on
fire, the officer in command was killed
and the first driver severely wounded,
all within the German lines. The second
driver extinguished the fire, assumed
command, and later in the day, drove
back single handed, preceded by about
fifty Germans, whom he captured I'M
aided.
Another tank, temporarily knocked
out constituted itself into strong point
inside the German lines, and held out
for five hours until the infantry ar
rived

Quartermaster Corps Needs Stenograph-
eIs.
Washington, D. c., Aug, 27-The quar-
termaster corps, which supplies the sol
diers with food and clothing and which
has charge Of seeing that they get their
pay, needs large number Of compe-
tent stenogaphers, Capt. w. r. Rob
inson of the organization branch, meth
DDS control division. announced to-day
ANY stenographer who can qualify will
begiven $ll00 a year to start with in
crease to $1,000 at the end of three
months A few stenographers with
special qualifications, who can take die
tation at not less than 100 words a min
ute and who have had some secretarial
experience have been engaged at $l25
a month and there is room for more of
this type.
Those who wish to qualify for these
positions may obtain information at
every postoffice in the country, even in
the smallest community. Applications
should be made to the local representa-.
tive OF the national civil service COM
mission with headquarters at the To-
cal postofiice. Captain Robinson said:
Living conditions in Washington are
more satisfactory than for some time
past, and it is apparent that the situa-
tion will improve. Work has been start
ed on enormous government dormitor-
les to house 2400 people and the shipping
board has recently moved some $500 em-
ployes away from Washington, The
result has been that the room situation
has been eased off little and will, un.
doubtedly. be better in short time as
the new dormitories are completed The
cost OF living in Washington is about
the same as ii is in Chicago or any other
city Of that size. Satisfactory room
and board can be secured for not to
exceed $55 or $50 month. Additional
expenses will, of course, vary with the
inclination of the individual"

The administration in Washington lost
most valuable friend in the death Of
Senator Ollie M. James Ever since the
war between the United States and Ger
many started Senator James has been
one Of the foremost advocates Of the va
rious war measures, as well as one Of the
most vigorous upholders of President
Wilson He was a forceful pleader on
the floor of the Senate and his services
in such capacity were much in demand.
Senator James was Comparatively
young man, being only AZ years Of age,
His death makes the tenth in the sena-
torial ranks within a year, we believe,
and contributes to a startling record Of
mortality in such small organization
as the United States Senate.

A DELICATE MISSION FOR GoMPERs

A DELICATE MISSION FOR GOMPERS
just what sort Of reception Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, will receive at the
hands of labor union people in England
on the occasion of his visit there remains
somewhat in doubt. Mr.. Gompers is
already in England and is about to set
out on a very delicate mission, which is,
to shape up the English labor thought so
that it will conform more nearly with
the aims and ambitions of American la
Dor 1t is hard task, as we'll as deli
cate. We in the United States know
how American labor would feel if an
emissary Of foreign labor should come
among them and attempt to outline the
best course to be pursued in certain
emergency. American labor might be re-
sentful, thinking that it was better able
to look after itself than representative
Of foreign labor was able to do it; and,
admittedly, that contention would seem
to be well based because American labor
knows the American conditions far bet
ter than anyone from another country
could know them in a long time. So, we
say Gompers is at work on mission
which viii require great deal of tact
and keenness of vision, tact to keep
within the proper limits and keenness to
sound the depths Of English labor feeling
in a comparatively short time.

Premier Borden Of Canada seems to
overlook somewhat the part which
France has been playing in the war and
the part which France is bound to play
in the development of peace. France is
one of the major factors in the war and
in the peace to follow, just as much q
major factor as are the United States
and Great Britain. To say that the flu
ture peace of the world depends upon the
Anglo-Americans is to do an injustice to
France, which has proven itself worthy
of place among the great nations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Not Akin to Christian Science.

To the Editor Of the Barre Times; In
the columns Of The Times there appeared
an advertisement of patent medicine,
its merits being vouehed for by an advo-
cate of New Thought In his testi
monial, the young man said; n am an
advocate Of New Thought lakin To Chris.
tian Soience)" Christian Science has
absolutely nothing in common with the
use of material means or with the sys
tenn of New Thought" which is referred
to- To be akin TO" signifies "allied by
nature; partaking of the same proper
ties; OF the same klGd" Inasmuch as
the Divine Mind or God, is the basis of
Christian Science, it is allied by its ma
tlIre to God; and inasmuch as the human
mind is a leading factor in all other sys-
tens, these other systems, including
New Thought" do not therefore par
take of the same properties as Chris
tian Science, since Christian Science is
founded, not on the human or "carnal
mind" but on the teachings Of Christ
Jesus, the Master Metaphysioian; de-
rives its sanction from the scriptures;
and is practiced in accordance Herewith.
In Matthew 4;23, the record reads, and
Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in
their synagegues, and preaching the gos-
pei of the kingdom, and healing all man
ner of sickness and all manner of disease
among the people" Inasmuch as Chris
tian Scientists take the works as we'll as
the words Of the Master as their ex-
ample, it is self evident that their re-
lgion is far from being "allied by ma
ture" to a system which its advocate"
admits is in harmony with the use of
material means for healing,
