BIG DRIVE W MAKING
FOR KNITTING MILL
Stock Subscriptions Are to Be Sought
Down to One Share-Members of
Committee Stand Ready to
Give Information.

The center of attraction for hundreds
OF prospective investors is the exhibit in
the window of the M. & B. L. & p. Co.
in the Aldrich building, where one of the
most modern knitting machines used by
the Peerless Knitting mills is being
shown in operation. A mechanic from the
companys Mattapan plant installed the
machinery yesterday, and even before it
was attached to a motor the outfit was
carefully scrutinized by many passcrsby.
The knitting machine conforms to a
type which will be largely used in the
plant that is to be erected in Barre this
fall, providing there is enough local en-
terprise to finish the job so well begun.
There is a tremendous amount of earn
estness back OF the movement to have
the Peerless people locate in Barre, and
to the 100000 already subscribed by con
servatiye Barre people to an investment
guaranteeing seven per cent, many more
subscriptions are sure to be added within
few days. The knitting machine is
one of many factors that are increasing
interest in the project. 1t is planned to
have on exhibition in large number of
local stores samples of the excellent mer-
chandise which the company is pro-
ducing.
A vigorous Board of Trade committee
is organizing for the final drive. In
many respect it will be marked by the
energy and enthusiasm witnessed in the
war drives. To-day committees appoint
ed by the Granite Manufacturers asso-
citation were mastering their forces pre-
No 20 torx1 10 a tbnrn,,uh oapvaou ~ tha
granite plants. II goes without saying
that the small investors are going to
figure nightly in the final pull, and it
should be borne in mind that no sub
scription down TO one share is too small
to count.
Barre is at the crossroads of its indus
trial development, and the successful is
sue of the knitting mill movement will
go long way toward solving one of the
most threatening problems in years-the
problem of keeping families in town. Be-
cause of the high cost of living, wage
earners who are family heads have late
ly been forced TO leave town because Of
the meagre opportunities for employing
girls. The knitting mill, if it becomes a
reality, will largely solve the problem,
for the daughter whose weekly pay en-
velope is needed at home will be able to
find the remuneratiye employment she
desires without leaving home.
Some of the cooperative spirit which
Barre exhibited during the war is need
ed if the project goes through Com
munity spirit must be the high note,
and only boost in unison, with every
body at the wheel, will win the day.
Any information relative to the Peer
less knitting mills preferred stock will
be gladly given by the following mem
bers of the committee: f II. Rogers, F.
d. Ladd, W. A. Drew, W p Scott, j B.
Sanguinetti, H. S. Parks, Waldron Shield,

Article 10, Domestic Ques-
tions and Monroe Doc
trine Are the Others

Washington, d. c., Aug 20.-Four res
ervations on the league of nations cove
nant are embodied in separate resolu-
tion prepared to-day by Senator Pitt
man Of Nevada, Democratic member Of
the foreign relations committee, for in
PRODUCTION in the Senate.
Senator Pittman said the resolution
was in line with the suggestion made to
the. foreign relations committee yester
day by President Wilson that if reser-
vations are to be made they should be
embodied in a separate resolution and
not in the resolution of ratification,
which might make new negotiations nee
essary.
Senator Pittman said the reservations
had not been submitted to the president.
They are similar to those proposed by a
group of seven Republican senators and
deal with the right of withdrawal from
the league, article 10, domestic questions
and the Monroe doctrine.

Fail to Get Information
Owing to Interruption of
Communication Via the

pursuit begun yesterday of the bandits
who captured and held for ransom Lieu

aviators, rescued yesterday after pay
ment of $500 in gold to the bandit
leader.
Military headquarters here was with
ont information from the punitive expe-
dition, heavy storms in the mountains of
Chihuahua interrupting communication
via the field telephones OF the army.
Possibility that the American soldiers
already have had their first skirmish
with the bandits was indicated last night
when two aviators returned to the
American side with bullet holes in the
plane of their machine and report that
they had been attacked by three Mexi-
cans, one of whom they believed they
killed with machine gun bullets. Anoth-
er was believed to have been wounded,
and the third fed. First reports said the
cavalry was in pursuit OF the remaining
bandit. -Four airplanes, which arrived
from Fort Bliss near III Paso, were to
augment the airplanes of the Sth cavalry
in Mexico to-day.
