The American Automobile association
asks motorists throughout the United
States to drive their own cars and thus
release the professional chauffeurs for
war essential industries. Surely that is
a reasonable request and one which, if
complied with, will prove to be con.
siderable factor in solving the manpower
problem of the country. There are no
statistics to determine how many pro.
fessional chauffeurs there are in the
country but it is probable that the num-
Der runs into several hundred thousands,
If the people who now engage those
chauffeurs would put their own hands to
the wheel and release these men for some
essential industry, if not for actual gov
eminent service, the effect would be far.
reaching. Probably one half of the mo.
florists who indulge in the luxury Of pri-
vate drivers could get along without
those drivers just as well as not. The
American Automobile association has
made reasonable request on them at
least.

FORMER BARRE MAN.
Bertrand S. Bishop Was Killed on Con-
struction Project.

A telegram received here Saturday by
Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Bishop of 1877
Washington street brought tidinRs of the
death Of their son, Bertrand S. Bishop of
Walla Walla, Wash. Details Were lack

construction foreman for the Pacific
Light & Power company, met death ao-
eidentslly while employed on project
some miles away from his home. An
other message received yesterday stated
that the body would arrive in Walla
Walla last evening. 1t is thought that
the burial will take place there.

Important as have been the territorial
gain, the capture of prisoners and the
seizure of war materials made by the
Germans in the present battle of the
Aisne, the advantage has been far small
er than that acquired in the initial
plunge Of the great offensive on the Pr
cardy front in an effort to pierce the
allies line. Even allowing that the Ger
man claims are true as to the present
battle, the allies have lost only about
half as many prisoners and only about a
third as many big guns, while the enemy

The Garment workers in Bare.

| Editor, Barre Daily Times: In your
| issue of May 81 Talk of the Town item
there appeared brief review of the new
garment workers union and their pros
! poets for the future. The item was mis-
leading in this respect, that it stated
that better conditions had already been
obtained by the union This is not the
ease and ] am glad that Manager f. D.
Luckenbin, in communication on the
following day, took the pains to state
plainly that no new conditions have been
obtained in the local factory Of the Tau,
Der Ryttenherg Co. And thereby hangs
n tale.
II is some eight months since this com
pany located within the confines of the
city of Barre, and in that short time
three managers have come and gone.
Some have gone of their own free will
and other have not, and in the maelstrom
existing, the factory help has come off
second best. Some of the girls begin
nersl have been paid the munifcent sum
OF sl.s5 for weeks work, and that
means nine.and zone half hour workday,
and six hours on Saturday. Others have
received SO per week; some 81 a week;
some So week, and to the best OF my
knowledge and belief the highest pay that
has been received by any OF the girls en-
ployed after a service Of six months or
more has never reached more than IS

Tied to the machine, French biplane,

would go forward by air route, otherwise
it would 60 through the usual channels.
The accident was attributed to the un-

The Vermont public safety committee
is asking "clergymen, judges, lawyers,
doctors, merchants, clerks" and all others
to help the farmers of Vermont at least
one day week this summer in harvest
ing the crops This service is not to be
gratuitous, of course, for it is the expec-
tation that the farmers will pay the
workers a reasonable compensation for
their labor; nor are the individual per-
sons to be sought out, as it is the hope
that enough men will volunteer to make
that unnecessary. If the persons men
toned in the above occupations, along
with many others in every community,
would take it upon themselves to offer
their services to the farmers through the
county farm bureau agent there would
he no need to sacrifice any of the crops
during the next five months. And mas
much as it will almost amount TO crime
to sacrifice any of the crops this year

appeal of the public safety committee
will be very general

CURRENT COMMENT

The editor of The Congegationalist is
probably right in saying that the chief
gain from the holding of union services
the past winter was not in coal saving,
but in the better understanding that was
effected between the Christian bodies,
and the growing desire to avoid competi-
ton and to view any particular field of
work from cooperative rather than a
UNCONVENTIONAL point of view, 1t was a
practical experiment in church fedora
ton .-Brattleboro Reformer.

trees be sprayed at once in order to pre-
