material continues to be revealed as
American troops search the vast ware
house area in Coblenz and vicinity, Off
GERS to-day found more than $50 guns of
II calibre and leather worth half mill

into the possession of the Americans as
abandoned material under the terms of
the armistice. The cannon are virtually
all as good as new, having apparently
been repaired during the last few months
of the war.

AMERICAN SHIPPING
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL
IN WORLD COMPETITION
Win Be Enabled to Keep the Seas Open
to Great Business Development
Under Policy lust Adopted.


Paris, Jan. 10 (by the Associated
Press American shipping will be en-
abled to make rates in successful com
petition with other maritime nations and
keep the seas open to the great business
development expected with the end Of
the war under the provisions of a ship
ping policy adopted by the United States
government, it was learned here to-day.
Formulated by Z, n. Hurley, chairman
Of the United State shipping board, aft
err an extensive investigation, this policy,
which has been officially approved, pro-
poses to write off virtually 81 100000
600 from the cost of American shipping
bill during the war and possibly a pro
portionate write off from the valuation
of American shipyards. This write.ofT,
according TO the plan, would apply TO
ships worth approximately S3,000,0O0,-
0O0 Ii is expected that the moral force
of the government, in making such re-
duction, will bring privately owned ship
ping into the plan As all ships con
structed in the United States during the
war were built by the government, the
percentage Of privately -owned shipping
affected is small
This reduction in shipping values to
after the-war basis has been chosen rath-
er than plans calling for reductions in
wages. Officials were convinced, after
exhaustive study, that one Of these al
ternatiyes was necessary if the United
States was to compete with foreign ma
tions under the high standard estab-
Hshed by Congress for maritime labor.

RED NOTES

The next big thing ahead of the Red
Cross branches of the country is the max
ing of garments for the refugees of
northern France and Belgium, and TO
the New England division has been as
signed the making Of about 100000 gar
ments.
At this time the refugees are return
ing to the places that were their homes,
where hundreds of villages and over 20
large cities have been destroyed, and
where living conditions are terrible. At
the best, some time must elapse before
these conditions are bettered to any great
extent and in the meantime the weather
is cold and the refugees have only such
clothing as their captors allowed them to
retain. That is why the Red Cross has
taken upon itself the task Of providing
garments for the stricken people, who
are doing the best they can to help them
selves.
There are no stores in which they can
buy clothes, they have no homes in which
to make clothes and no facilities for
making them if the material were avail
able. The only thing that stands be-
tween these people aud suffering or death
from the lack of necessities of living is
the American Red Cross, and the clothing
must be made quickly SO that it will be
AVAILABLE this winter.
Washington county's share Of this
work is 1900 garments and Barre must
do its part Now that knitting is sus-
pended, it is urged that all hands turn to
the new work and devote as much time
rs possible to it. The garments are be
ing shipped abroad as fast as they are
received at the New England division
warehouse in Boston and cable requests
from abroad call for more and more. By
March the bulk Of these garments must
be either in this warehouse or on the way
from the chapters.
New workers are solicited and it is
thought the urgency Of the case viii
cause all who have been engaged in the
work to redouble their efforts. SO far
as known at present, says official word
from Boston, this will be the last large
work of the kind asked from the women
1f New England.
The bureau of supplies is to-day cut
ling, assembling and shipping an aver
age Of over 10000 garments a day for
the different chapters in the New Eng
land division.
The attendance at the local work
rooms has been good lately, and a num-
Der have called to take work home, but
if more would come for home work it
would be much appreciated. The dresses
now on hand at the sewing room can be
,asily made by any woman at home.
Won't you take one or two yourself?
It is suggested that all knitted articles
n process of manufacture be finished and
all broken skeins made up into knitted
articles. All finished articles should be
cturned to the work room as soon as
rossible, with the yarn remaining, which
will help those in attendance to get the
shipment ready on time the first of Feb
ruary.
