sons answering opposition to the
Chamberlain resolution, which by an in
quiry into the aircraft situation, the
president considers proposes general in
vestigation of the conduct of the war,
prevailed in the Senate to-day when
leaders of both sides agreed not to bring
the resolution up until Monday and
meanwhile regarded some sort of COM
promise likely.
Friends of the administration consid
cred a victory as good as won and had
no doubt that whatever action finally is
taken will not be unsatisfactory to the
president.
When the Senate met supporters of
the resolution, processing to have votes
for its passage, seemed inclined to push
it to-day. Conferences among them,
however, changed the atmosphere and
while the Senate took up other business
they consulted, an agreement resulting
not to act to-day.

HEADQUARTERS ESTABLISHED
For War Chest Fund at Church Street
School Building.

All is not quiet along the Jail anc
Stevens branches. What will you give
TO the Barre war chest? Growing out o.
this sharp interrogation is a movement
that is going to encompass the wholt
city, and it is movement that is al
ready securely launched. Tomorrow
hundreds OF Spaulding high school stu.
dents and children from the higher
grades are to begin census that will
cover the city like prevailing distem.
per before the returns are all made. To.
day the canvassers received their as
signments, and the work is to be done
in such thorough going manner that
omitted names are going to be mighty
scarce when the first, big task has been
accomplished.
AT special meeting of the city coun-
ell last evening it was voted unanimous
ly TO grant the use of the Church street
school building to the war chest and
Red Cross committees. There the cam
paign will have its center. and there
much of the preliminary work that is to
be done before the actual soliciting is
begun will be done. Perhaps it will take
a week TO compile the census material
gathering by the school students 1t is
to be big job and it must be carefully
handled At any rate the community
elected Wednesday evening,
hopes to have the canvass for war chest
well under way by the first
Of the week beginning May p.
Here is sample of the gospel which
the war chest committee is spreading:
sThe war provides a great opportunity
for all of us to get rich-rich with the
rewards that come to those who serve
Don't let the chance 90 by. If you can't
ight, you can serve by giving. Give,

BRITISH DESTROYED
THEIR OWN SUBMARINES
Seven Boats Which Had Been Operating

Frozen Solid in Ice at Hell

Before Germans Ar

Lonton, Thursday, May l6.-The seven
British submarines destroyed by their
crews at Helsingfors TO prevent their be.
ing captured by the Germans reached
the Baltic sea either through the straits
between Denmark and Norway and
Sweden or by way OF Archangel, accord
ing to an admiralty statement. The
class 9 boats went by way of Archangel
route.
An account of the destruction of the
submarines at Helsingfors was given to
The Associated Press correspondent in a
port where he met several of the mem
bers of the crews OF the submarines and
whence he travelled back to England on
the same steamer with them.
The British crews got out of Helsing-
fors only IL hours ahead of the Germans
entrance TO the town The men assured
the correspondent that they had effected
the complete destruction of their under
water craft before leaving.
The submarines which had entered the
Baltic at early periods in the war and
had been in constant service since, were
frozen solidly in the ice in Helsingfors,
which made their escape impossible.
For the purpose of destroying the sub
marines large quantities of explosives
were placed inside them and exploded by
cans of fuses. The series of explosions
which followed shook the entire city of
and the crash of the detona
tions was heard for miles around.
The property value of the craft and
the material destroyed reached a total
of about 100000 pounds sterling.

So far as is known, these Americans
are the first troops to get into the fight
ing zone as units brigaded with the Brit
ish. They are part of the force which
has been dispatched from the United
States in the movement of new troops
forecast soon after the German offensive
was started in March. II seems not i'm
probable that there will be a renewal of
