Jennie NJ. Crichton. which is to be held at
her late home, 2l9 Washington street,
Friday afternoon at o'clock.
The lecture given last evening by Rev.
William L. Boicourt of Waterbury was
well attended. The Barre Woman's club
was fortunate in being able to furnish
such treat for the community. Mr..
Bocourt spoke on Home Life in France"
from personal experience and in a happy
and entertaining way presented many
truths for the consideration of his hear
ers, who were at all times attentive lis
teners.
The snow which fell during last night
to the depth of several inches was tossed

Traction company put on snowplows
early in the morning and succeeded in
showing the snow out of the way enough
so that the cars could pass

MILD CRITICISM.
In French Papers on President Wilson's
Speech in Boston.

Paris, Feb. 26.-With the exception of
the Figaro and the Echo de Paris, there
is little comment in the morning papers
on President Wilson's speech in Boston
Alfred Capus, in the Figaro, makes
what he calls a little correction" in the
presidents statement that the soldiers in
the fighting only understood the value
of humanity of their efforts when these
accents reached them from America"
He adds: What President Wilson
really added to the wars morale was the
vision of the future seen through a So
ciety or league of nations"
The principal difficulty in the appli-
cation of this view, in the opinion of A.
Capus, is "the adoption of the national
interests and traditions to this ideal Of
justice"
at is with this difficulty" he contin-
ues, that President Wilson is confronted
in his own country, amidst the struggles
Of the political parties"
