Der of deputies to-day on the German
peace treaty, Premier Clemenceau said

United States Senate it would be that it
hurry the ratification of the treaty.
Abiding to the entry of the United

Replying to criticisms Of the treaty,
he said the league of nations was not
as perfect as President Wilson would
have desired, but that he (Clemenceaul

If Germany had not declared war, he
asserted, she would have Germanized the
whole world.
The socialists in the chamber, where
there was a full attendance of the depu-
ties, protested violently at this asser-
tion.
The premier read documents showing
that Great Britain came spontaneously
TO the help Of France without being

S ,s. Mrs. Nancy Smith, an aunt of
Baily, who resides with her and
o., of the occupants of the Winton, was
precipitated from the rear seat over the
door and onto the cement road, where
she landed directly upon her head, ten
feet from the ear, sustaining cut
about an inch long in her head, which
bled prousely, as well as injuries
about the head and chest. No one else
was injured except for bad shaking
up. In the seven-passenger car rode, be-
sides Mrs. Smith and Eloise Bailey, Miss
Marjorie Kent of Orange street, DIR. Bal

John McWilliams and Mrs Augusta
Rantilla, all of Graniteville.
They had just taken Mrs. Adele Scott

pie realized the crash was inevitable and
applied his brakes vigorously, but not
soon enough TO prevent the collision, his
car hitting the Winton about midway on
oneside. Eye witnesses claim Miss Bal

An ambulance was summoned and
Mrs. Smith, woman II years of age,
was soon cared for by DR., Bailey and
then taken TO the doctors home.
One Of the chief contributing causes
for the accident is attributed to the
heavy fall of rain and slipper condition
of the road. A great many dollars
worth of damage was accomplished in
that short time. Both autos were taken
to the Palace garage for repairs. The
Overland rmabout sustained the great

the car was bent from its standard; 50

under the windshield was crumbled and

engine, the steering gear bent, both mud.
guards bent, both lights demolished and
one spring doubled under the car. The
greatest damage to the Winton was one
running board, which was crushed into
small pieces and distributed about the
street.

resented the total enrolment.
Vermont's quota in the American Le-
gion drive Just concluded was 2,l00; and
based on that figure state legion lead.
ers fixed l65 as Barre's minimum quota
How Barre maintained its splendid war
record in the eliminating drive is told
more eloquently in the final figures than
in words. There are 30S legionaires in
Barre and Barre Town. Barre post is en-
titled to 20 delegates in the state con
vention, ,sand over and above that, Barre
post is bound to grow.

WASHINGTON FAIR
DREW GOOD CROWD
Horse Races Were the Most Important
Feature, Although There Were
Many Fine Exhibits.

The second day of the Washington
fair opened against poor weather condi.
tions yesterday morning with a rather
brisk and chilly wind, nevertheless thou
sands of Joy seekers found their way to
Washington and passed the day visiting
the various exhibitions, witnessed a
ploughing exhibition, strength test be-
tween two pairs of oxen, several good
horse races and many other interesting
features.
In the afternoon the horse racing re.
tanned the interest of a great number of
the visitors, which tended to show that
this sport is still among the most popu-
lar ones The track, which was in good
condition, was covered many times by
competitive drivers and horses, and sew
eral times cheers came from the crowd
as two horses would drive under the wire
almost neck and neck
The first of these was colt race Of
half mile, offering purse of $50.
Only two horses entered but these two
stirred enthusiasm for the latter and
better matches With three fast ones
entered in the 2:30 class and four in the
2:20, no idle moments came in the heats
of the various races.
Supplementing this interesting pro-
gram were the cattle, agricultural and
floral displays These exhibits had some
very fine specimens, the like Of which
might be duplicated at state fair only.
The agricultural and floral exhibits were
decidedly praiseworthy and gained the
attention of many. Needle art by the
women had its corner in the display hall
and gained the admiration of practically
everyone that visited in that locality. 1t
was the result of much tedious work and
could have been accomplished by none
other than experienced hands.
Judges of the horse races were; H. c.
Leonard and John Trow of Barre and
Dr. Reed of Williamstown Charles Cor
don was the starter. The results of the
races were:

Stamford, Conn, Sept. 25--The steam

aground on Cows Reef in Long Island
Sound to-day. She was bound from Sa.
Johns and Halifax to New York with
lao passengers and crew of 80.
The vessel was apparently off its

ties of distress were heard by Thomas
Robins of the naval consulting board,
at his home on Shipping Point. Mr..
Robins went out in tender and brought
in an officer of the ship. The latter
said there was no excitement on board
and no danger at present.
Permission was received from the i'm

CHOOSE BENNINGTON
FOR NEXT MEETING
Two Congregational Missionary Associa-
tions Concluded fheir Annual
Conventions in Barre Last
Night.

The annual meetings of the Vermont
Woman's Home Missionary union and
the Vermont branch of the Woman S
Board of Missions, which have been held
in the Barre Congregational church since
Tuesday evening, closed last night. Eight
young women participated in mission.
ary dramatization that was much en-
loved and this was followed by the read
ing of scripture and prayer by Rev. DR..
Goodspeed, vocal solo, "The Lord is My
Light by Fred Inglis, and an address
by Rev T., c. Woodley of Marash, Tur-
key.
Mr.. Woodley was in Turkey during the
whole of the war This country was one
of the most troubled lands on earth and
in the most troublous time of her his
tory For seven years he was in Marash,
a station of the Central Turkey mission.
When war came up, there were girls
college, theological seminary, three
self-supporting churches and 10 ut-sta-
tions This was in 1914. The war came,
followed by four years of struggle, and
in 1918 when the war closed, the girls
college still remained open, but the theo-
logical seminary had closed, the mem
bers of the churches had scattered and
of the 10 out-stations not one remained.
The people had been driven into exile,
the pastors had been slain and the teach
ers gave up their lives.
In the interval, to save life in every
way possible was the one controlling
motive Cultivating their friendship is
the only way to get at the Turks and
Arabs. The main thing now is to
strengthen the Christian faith of the
people.
What is before the missionaries Of
Turkey? There are three duties particu-
larly; first the remnant of the Arme-
nian people must be saved. Second,
mission work must be reconstructed.
Third, Jesus Christ must be presented
to the Moslem in the hour of his supreme
need, which is now. Islam to-day is dis
integrating. 1t has failed in the hour of
need.
In the absence of Rev Frank NJ. Shell
don, general secretary of the Congrega-
tional Education society, who had fallen
and injured one knee and therefore was
unable TO be present, DIR. Arthur +. Holt
of the social service branch of the Ma
tional Council gave an especially perth
nent and enlightening talk on Fighting
of Social Anarchy in America"
DR. Holt considered there were several
reasons why this question must be faced
now He called to mind that only day
before yesterday the biggest battle be
tween labor and capital that ever took
place was waged in the United States,
and that Boston to-day is under military
rule because conditions there are so much
like Russia only difference of names.
In two large cities, also, the two worst
race conflicts ever known took place net
long ago.
What lies back of the spirit of unrest
usually? Injustice done; somebody neg
leeted Cities that have many shacks
grouped together, with few palaces on
the boulevards, may look for trouble.
Communities must command the respect
of every citizen, there must be justice in
the law courts and in the government,

STRIKE WOULD KEEP ON
EVEN IF STEEL MILLS
SHOULD MEET THE MEN

the steel strike continued to-day. The
return, it was said, was not large but
was steady
Disorders in the district have dwin-
died to sporadic outbreaks, in which
members of the crowds have been slight
ly injured and many arrested, Heavy
guards of police state troopers and dep
uties are much in evidence in the trou-
bled area, especially at Farrell, Pa, and
Newcastle, Pa, where alarming riots, re-
sulting in several deaths, occGrred early
in the week.
The protest of Secretary, Foster of the
strike committee, to Gov. Sproul against
what he termed the "unwarranted as
saults" by troopers on innocent strikers
brought the reply that the troopers had
not charged into the crowds until their
commands to disband had been detied
and only after shots were fired and mis-
sies thrown at the officers. The labor
leader has dispatched telegram to the
governor, declaring that the latter has
been misinformed regarding the clashes
between the troopers and the crowds,
and adding that the state police ARE
manufacturing reign Of terror in order
that the steel workers strike may be
discredted and broken"

Wilson said in an address here to-day

only one criticized. That objection now

deny the report OF a threatened
