BARRE WEI COINED "THE BOYS" HOME
AND 10000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED
IN VARIOUS FEATURES OF RECEPTION

multitude that the long looked for air
men had finally arrived. "There he is"
was his eager ejaculation, and in no
gather on the molasses barrel hundreds
of people were scurrying toward the
trotting park, the logical place for the
near-to sight of the machine.
But the airmen hadn't got their bear
ings as to the landing field and so they
circled about the city and surrounding
territory for quarter of an hour, grad
ually descending until the drone of the
engine became sharp clacking. The
propeller itself could then be seen in its
swift revolutions and the number 33S
could be easily discerned. The machine
did no fancy evolutions but sailed ma
jestically about the church spires, set
ting the doves all a-futter at the strange
visitor.
And it was well that the machine put
in those 10 minutes getting located, for
that was destined to be the only exhibit
tion the holiday crowd was permitted to
see of No. 1893, for, as already stated,
when the machine did finally alight it
made partial wreck of itself and is
out of commission for the timebeing.
The cause of the misfortune was an
unlocked for hump in the landing field
after the machine had been lifted over
another equally menacing hump. The
second hump could not be lodged, as the
bird" was flying too low and No. 1898
struck the earth with such an impact
that it keeled over onto its nose and
barely escaped tipping over. The pro-
peller was driven about foot into the
soft ground and was broken, as were
parts of the under body. Both Hodgdon
and Dale stepped out of their places I'M
harmed, regretful over the accident but
happy that they had finally located
Barre.
Until the broken parts can be replaced
the return flight cannot be made.
Lieut.. Lynch, whose unfortunate ac-
cident prevented his appearance in Barre,
sent the following telegram to the COM
mittee yesterday; "Very deeply regret
not being able to take part in your
homecoming celebration owing to an
accident peculiar to cross country fights
While taking off in small field bordered
with trees my plane suffered the loss of
propeller and a few minor injuries
Unable to secure parts and repair dam
age in time, l am sending you my kind
est regards and best wishes for your
day"
His regret was certainly no greater
than that of the huge crowd which had
gathered in Barre TO see him do his
aerial stunts; and it is the great regret
of the local eommittee that the sllhsti-
tute airman's arrival was so late as to
cause a large part of the visitors to
miss the sight Of the feature altogether

AMERICAN ARTILLERY
BARKED A SALUTE
ON THE RHINE
Cannonade of 48 Guns Roared Out in
Honor of Independence Day and Ger
mans Heard Something.

Coblenz Friday, July (By the Asso-
ciated Press A salute of 4S guns-one
for each state in the union-roared out
over Coblenz at noon to-day from the
ancient walls of the fortress of Ehren-
breitstein, echoing up and down the
Rhine and Moselle valleys as the first
part of the army's program in celebrat-
ing the Fourth in Germany.
This was the first time that American
artillery has barked from the famous
fortress which tops the 400-foot rock
promontory on the east bank of the
Rhine opposite the point where the Mo-
selle joins Germany's most famous river.
The salute was fired from 75's of the
7th field artillery. The roar of the guns
was heard before by the Germans who
were opposed to the I'd division at st.
Mihiel in the Champagne and in the bat
tie of the Argonne. The salvo to-day,
however, did not disturb the Germans,
as the army's plans were well advertised
in the newspapers.
The day was celebrated throughout
the American occupied area. The after
noon was filled with boxing, track meets
and ball games and the evening was de-
voted to theatrical performances and py-
rotechnic displays at headquarters of the
various units. In the Coblenz district,
Ehrenbreitstein was the center of at
traction in the evening, the 18th field
artillery putting on an exhibition of fire.
works surprising anything ever dreamed
of by the Germans. American, French,
English and even German fireworks were
used, consisting of colored rockets, para
chute lights and flares which were used
at night as signals in warfare. Rockets
abandoned by the Germans after the
armstice were used in this way.
The 4th engineers also staged fire.

MORE MONEY NEEDED AT ONCE
To Enable Barre Committee to Meet
Celebration Expenses.

1t takes money to run celebration of
the magnitude Of that which was held in
Barre yesterday; and no one realizes it
more clearly than the members of the
committee who worked so hard to carry
out the details. These committeeman
found this morning that the amount
raised by subscription prior to the eele-
bration falls considerably short of the
amount absolutely needed to pay the
bills Therefore, they make the. appeal
that further contributions be made at
once to wipe out the deficit. Another
way to meet the deficit is afforded
through the sale of the large souvenirs
of the victory arch. These pictures are
authorized by the Board Of Trade and
are on sale at the drug stores and the
tobacco stores A large purchase of
these photographs is solicited in order to
help defray the expenses of the celebra-
tion, as well as to enable Barre people
and others to keep souvenir of the great
day

LAFAYETTE SPRINGS
SCHOOL OPENS.

1 Monday at 1000 a. m. Prof. E. S.
Samuels opened the doors of the
High School at this place by using
very patriotic and appropriate
song. When the crowd entered, the
blessings of Almighty God solemnly
invoked by the noble and efficient
professor, after which, Mayor Faust
extended hearty handshake to the
entire audience in the form of an
address of welcome, in which he
scared in eloquence and rhetorical
phrases of wisdom to towering atti-
tudes that would have been compli-
mented to a Cicero, or William Jen-
nings Bryan.
Next on the program was appropri-
ate music by a local string band,
which furnished music that would
rival Weber's orchestra at Cincin-
natti
Then came a recital, "The Lafay-
cite Springs Looking GLASS;" by
Miss Loudell Welch, which turned
the audience into laughter that gave
patience while the Hon. James Stone
of Oxford, made known the entire
definition of "Club Work" to the
boys and girls, which was very in
teresting-and if needed will prove
very beneficial to this section of the
country.
Next was an eloquent address and
appeal to reason and ordinary logl-
cal conclusions along lines of educa-
ton, by Dr.. Rogers, of the State
University, at Oxford.
Dir. Rogers is evidently the right
man in the right place-and it seems
that he is doing the right thing with
all the rights that he has.
At 80 p. m, patriotic song that
always thrills every pulsation Of the
great American heart with a pride
which only an American knows, was
sung by Mayor Faust, Col White
head, Eugene Sneed and Miss IRA
Sneed.
At las p. M, regular picnic dim
ner was served to the satisfaction of
the APPETITE of every one present. At

No calling demands clearer
brain, steadier nerves, a more perfect
state OF health than that OF a rail-
road engineer. The safety OF
thousands depends on guarding his
health, which is as important to the
public as the efficiency OF his engine.
Every engineer realizes this enormous
responsibility, he dares not take
chances with so important a matter.
That is why so many of them are
using Tanlac.-it steadies the nerves,
Gears the bIa4n, cvIructs lnugeatlou,
