LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Poultry Association Matters.

To the Editor, Barre Daily Times,
Dear Sir; In your issue of Saturday,
Nov %, ! notice that there is to be no
poultry show in Barre this year.
1t seems that the directors have for
gotten that there was no meeting called
for this purpose, and if there has been a
meeting | received no notice to that eff
feet.
Furthermore, last years books have
not been audited, and if the present Off
GERS were unable to fulfill their duties, a
meeting should have been held at which
they could have resigned, thereby Civ
ing the association an opportunity to
elect officers who were still in the bust
ness and could attend to the association
matters. A vice-president.

AIRCRAFT PROBE
SCORES DELAYS IN
FIRST WAR DAYS
Recommends Cabinet Officer
to Be Chief of Aviation
Branch of Service


Washington, Aug. 22-The long
awaited report of the Senate Mill
tary subcommittee investigating
aircraft production was submitted
to-day with a scathing arraignment
of delays in the early days of tho
war, review of improved conditions
and recommendations for the crea-
ton OF a new separate department
or aviation with cabinet officer at
its head.
Failure to adopt successful for
eign airplanes and motors. waste of
millions of dollars of aircraft appro-
priations, dominance of the airplane
program by inexperienced automo-
blle manufacturers, "unsystematic
and ineffective" organization and eX-
cessive profits to manufacturers are
among criticisms made by the sub
committee.
While .condemning chiefly fail
ures under the former aircraft pro-
duction board and Signal Corps
control and noting improvements
since John d. Ryan and Major Gen
oral kenly were placed in charge OF
the production and military branches
the committee storngly urged "one-
man control" in the future. Part OF
the glame for poor organization al
the start is assigned to Congress.
Stating that much can be sale
in extenuation of disappointment:
in aircraft production" the
| committees long report details de
lays and failures. including trans
! portation to General Pershing o
| defective machines during NOR,
than a years efforts to secure domi
| nation of the air on the fightins
front.

British troops attacked the Ger
mans along the line between the
Somme and the Ancre river at 4.45
o'clock this morning. This may be
considered a continuation of the at
tack north of the Ancre at dawn
yesterday. The front of the latest
attack is about five miles long.
Huns Retreating
North of the Ancre, the British
have advanced in spite of enemy re-
sistance and have crossed the Arras-
Bapaume railway line. This railroad
embankment was a serious obstacle
to the British advance yesterday.
In the Flanders area, the British
are closely following the retiring
Germans and have reached Neuf Ber-
quin, village two miles within the
German lines as they stood when the
last definite reports were received
from this sector of the front.
On the northern side of the Lys
salient, in Flanders, the Germans
have been forced out of a strong po-
sition north of Bailleul. The Germans
launched heavy counterattack
against the British positions at
Locre Hospice, but were repulsed.
Heavy fighting is reported in this
area.

developing near Miramount and IrleS

statement.
Four villages, lie Plemont,
Thiescourt, Cannectancourt and
Vile, were occupied by the
French who have reached the
Divette river, the statement
says.
/ The French have reached the
.Oise on a six mile front east OF
Noyon, their line extending from
Sempigny TO Bretigny.
Farther east the villages
Bourguignon and St. Paul-aux-
Bois have been taken. The
French reached the Ailette river
at LaQuincy-Basse. The west
ern outskirts of Pommiers,. on
the Aisne, west of scissors, also
have been taken.
Glorious Page in HISTORY
The capture of Lassigny. an official
communication issued this afternoon
says, made the position on lie Plemont
untenable as it was turned from the
north and General Humbert's army
last night took the position. writing
one of the most glorious pages in
French history.
1t was on this position. the state
ment adds. that the furious German
onslaught against Paris on March SO
was smashed, one French battalion
holding the position for Sc hours
against the desperate assaults of two
German regiments.
lie Plemont finally was taken or
June by the Germans. 1t has beer
recaptured now by the former divi-
sion of General Fayolles which forms
part of the troops that defended it or

Another Craft Sunk
by Seized Trawler

The fishing schooner lucille Sch
mare, of Luneberg, \. s., was sunk
late yesterday by the trawler Tri-
umph, which a German submarine
crew has converted into a raider.
Both bombs and gunfire were used.
The crew arrived at Canso last night.
Members of the crew said the
Pasadena. another fishing vessel,
was in the vicinity when the Schnare
was sent to the bottom. Although
they did not see any attack upon the
Pasadena, they thought she was sunk
after the Germans had finished with
the Schnare. None of the crew of
the Pasadena had been reported as
having reached shore late last night.

which are near the southern end of
the line over which the British at
tackled yesterday.
In this region, the determined re-
sistance of the Germans seems to
have slowed up the British if it has
not checked the momentum of the
blow launched by General Byng. The
same may be said to be the situation
on the hills north of scissors. Little
progress has been reported in this
sector for the past few days. Last
nights German official report, how
ever, told of the French reaching the
plateau north of Juvigny, but said
they wer edriven back.
Noyon in Danger
Noyon, it would appear, is almost
untenable. 1t would seem that a re-
treat by the enemy toward Chauny,
farthest east, is almost impossible.
The railroad leading east of Noyon
now is under direct fire from the
French guns. The only remaining
avenue for German retreat appears
to be the northeast toward Ham.
Mount Renaud, a height which
stands as a sentinel to the southwest
of Noyon, now appears to be out
flankee and therefore, useless as a
defensive position.
There have been no reports of
fighting from Lassigny north to the
Somme.
