PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
Has Taken Up Her Duties in Barre
Under Red Cross Auspices.

A public health nurse has been en-
gagged by the Barre branch of the
American Red Cross, and to-day Miss
Elizabeth Maloney of Boston began to
acquaint herself with Barre physicians
and officials with whom she will come
in contact more or less in carrying on
her work.
Since the roll call of the Red Cross
in Barre the local branch has been try
ing to locate nurse qualified for the
duties, and find that Miss Maloney is
well qualified for the position which
at present is a difficult one.
In 1907 Miss Maloney graduated
from the Charlesgate hospital in Cam
bridge, Mass, as a trained nurse. Later
she took the post graduate course in
public health work, Simmons college,
and since then has been engaged con-
tinually in public health ands active
field work in both North and South
Boston. Miss Maloney comes here
well recommended by the Boston In.
struction District Nursing association,
with which she has been affiliated.
Public health work is entirely new
IN tnis ellys ana many peuptS uo npt
understand its Importance. The pur-
pose of the nurse is TO instruct in san
itation and hygiene. to instruct young
mothers in pre- natal matters, and
guard the health of children up to
school age.
1t differs from the duties of district
nurse, as supported by the Barre WON
ans club until about year ago, in
that it is chiefly work of instruction
and not bedside nursing. Miss Malo-
ney will be free to give instructions
to any family or person desiring it,
and for the present there will be no
charges TO the people. The Barre chap
ter of the Red Cross will finance the
work. having funds available from the
last roll call.
Miss Maloney will have headquar
ters At the Community house on
street, and Hist as soon as
possible will begin duties. Without
the cooperation Of the Barre physi-
rians and the people in general Miss
Maloney declared this morning, good
effective work could not be accom-
plished.

PER/URED TESTIMONY
IN MOONEY CONVICTION
ASSERTS ONE WITNESS
GREAT BRITAIN WILL
NOT ENTER CONTEST
OYER BIG NAVIES
Sir Philip Gibbs, British War Cores
pondent, Declared Before House
Naval Committee.

Washington. ID. C., Feb. S.-Great
Britain will not undertake to race with
the United States for sea power, Sir
Philip Gibbs, British war correspond
ent, declared to-day before the House
naval committee. England hasn't the
money, he said, and most Englishmcn
do not regard the American navy as
menace.
He said that before any agreement
for disarmament could be reached by
the principal power the Russian ques-
tion would have to be settled and the
Russian people drawn back into the
family of nations.
Representatives of the Russian so
Wet should by all means be included
in any conference to discuss disarma-
ment. he declared. He characterized
the Russian red army as "the greatest
military menace in the world" and said
that present conditions in Russia were
producing great numbers of profes
sional soldiers.
There is a spirit of revolt, entirely
apart from bolshevism in Europe to-
day because of the general fear OF an,
other war, he declared, and the people
felt that they had been betrayed in
the last war. because they had been
told that it was war to end war.
"The burden of armament in Eu
rope is greater to-day than it was in
1914" he asserted ENGLAND is spend
ing 2S0,00O pounds year on its mill
tary naval establishment This sum
is more than twice the entire nation
al budget for all purposes before the
war"
In Mesopotamia, he said, Great Brit
ain is spending 40,00Q,000 pounds
year for military purposes.
An invitation from the United States
for disarmament conference would
meet with the approval of most of the
people of Great Britain, he continued,
although some sections of the govern
ment are opposed to the general idea
of disarmament.
Discussing the future of the Brit
ish navy, he said that the English peo-
pie did not consider another naval bill
to provide a strong and supreme navy
necessary because "they realize that
Great Britain's chief menace, the Ger
man navy, has been crushed forever"
He added that there had been much
discussion in England lately about the
idea of big American navy but that
most of our people do not regard the
American navy a menace

HEAVILY GUARDED
CARS OPERATED
Crowd Jeered and Someone Threw a
Rock in Albany, N. Y,
To-day.

Albany. y Y. Feb, s. Heavily
guarded by mounted police and patrol
men in automobiles, the first car TO be
operated by the United Traction com
pany since its employees went on strike
week ago last Saturday left the
North Albany carbarns to-day amid a
crowd of more than 100 jeering men.
The car. manned by strikebreakers,
was nearly filled with company
guards. The windows were screened,
The car had hardly left the barn
when the crowd swarmed about it,,
making it necessary for the motorman
to stop it to escape injurihg the pedes-
trians. Mounted police quickly cleared
the way and the car resumed its jour.
ney A rock, hurled at the car, missed
its mark.
Word from Troy indicated that the
first car which left the Lansingburg
barn at about the same time had pro
ceeded only short distance when
forced to stop because of a trolley wire
being down.
The company began operations to-
day, upon order of the public service
commission, with 800 men imported
from New York City. The strikers
number 200.
Three strikebreakers, working on an
emergency wagon repairing a trolley
in Troy, had an encounter with a
policeman with the result that two
went to a hospital and the other TO
the station house.
Two cars were stoned by a mob in
South Troy and the crew of strike
breakers was driven off one of them.
