Allies Winning At Aisne

Washington turning move
ment of the allied armies in northern
France has brought the extreme OF
their left wing about thirty miles from
the Belgian frontier.
An official statement issued by the
French war office says that part OF the
battle line stretching generally north
and south has been extended north 10
a point south of Arras. This line, on
which the allies are attempting to en-
velop the German right wing under
Gen. Won Kluck, has been pushed
gradually toward the Belgian border,
as the Germans widened their front
in defense until it extends some hfty-
Ave miles from the angle that rests
on Tracy-le-Mont.
Terrific fighting continues on the al
lies left wing. according to the Paris
statement, the most severe struggle be-
ing in the region of Roye, town 70
miles east of Amiens and about mid
way on this battle line. Here the Ger
uaits have concentrated strong forces,
probably with the purpose OF breaking
through the front of the allies and $50
lating the forces to the north.
The Paris statement adds that the
Germans attempted to bridge the
Meuse near st. Mihiel, but their pom
ICONS we're destroyed. French claims
of slight progress in the Woevre dis

ance with President Wilson's recent
proclamation, designating Sunday as

To-day, when number OF nations,
all our friends, have been drawn INTO

Our interests are so entwined with

aging conditions conducive to peace,
we should find ample justification IN
the fact that the burdens OF war no

Amsterdam.-The Germans have

Amsterdam.-The Germans have
commenced their attack on the first
line of defense of Antwerp, accord
ing to dispatches received by the Am
sterdam papers. Mol, an important
railway junction near the Dutch Dor
der, was occupied by the Germans,
who again occupy Malines, began a
bombardment of Lierre, directly in
front of Antwerp. They also contln-
ued their bombardment Of Forts
Waehel and st. Catharine. 1t is be-
lieved heavy Austrian artillery is be-
ing used.
Lierre, according to a message to
the Handelsblad, has been under shell
fire some time. The people at first hid
in the cellars, but subsequently fed
to Antwerp, being joined by fugitives
from the surrounding villages. 1t is
reported that one shell fell on hos
pital killing nine persons.
German Naval Reserves Ready
More than twenty-five thousand Ger
man naval reserves have been brought
from KieI and Hamburg to Brussels
and are held in readiness to serve on
the Nhprovised German feet should
Antwerp and Ostend be taken.
AS direct result of this move the
British authorities along the Scheldt
have increased their watchfulness, for
during a siege of Antwerp England
might like to send reinforcements
fnh Co1 w
would be a breach of neutrality, while
on the other hand a German victory
would bring danger of an attempt on
the part of Germany to use the mount
of the Scheldt as base from which
to attack the British naval forces in
the North sea.
Worlds Strongest Forts
The Notifications of Antwerp are
reckoned among the strongest in the
world. In 1860, twenty-eight years
after the taking of the city by English
and French troops, Brialmont, the
noted Belgian builder, supervised the
identification of the city and since
1877 it has had line of forts well out
from the inner defenses. In 1907 the
government decided to do away with
the inner line of walls and replace
them with an inner line of forts on
the right bank of the Scheldt.
The greatest importance is attached
to the outer works. They consist in
part of new Notifications, in part of
old forts rebuilt. The work was be-
gun in 1913 1t is probable that this
ideal was realized and that the forti-
fication system is now practically COM
plete.
The outer chain of forts lies from
ten to eleven miles outside the city
and has a front of about eighty miles.

The deer hunting season is proving
better than the past two years and re.
turning hunters say that in this coun-
~ deer are more plentiful than ever
before. With meat at present prices
il can do no harm to look for a min
ute at the actual cash value of the an.
nual supply of the venison secured.
The hunting season yields each year
around 1000 bucks varying in weight
from 115 to $50 pounds. The meat
to $25 per carcass. The season thus
yields not far from $4,000 in actual
food value. Leaving sentiment out
of consideration entirely Vermont can
well afford to pay the annual dec
damage bill for a good big balance
will be left, 10 say nothing of the
healthful out door sport of hunting.
A local hunter and fisherman declares
that the people of Vermont wholly
fail to realize the money value OF the
wild life OF the state. lie estimates
that the annual take of furs in the
state is 100000 of which fully one
half is from the disposed skunk
Brook trout he thinks are caught year
ly TO the value of 100000 and other
food fishes to an equal sum. Venison
value he puts at $4,000 and rabbits
partridge and other game used as
food at $4,000 lie estimates the
grand total at around a half million
dollars annually. while the indirect
income through attracting hunters
and fishermen to the state is very
large. yet the largest direct appropria-
ton the state ever made for the prop
ogaiion of game and fish was beg
carly $1,000. and the fish and game de.
partment is hampe-ed every year by
lack OF funds.

Stanley C. Wilson OF Chelsea has

Mr. Wilson is one Of the bright young
men of the state and would make a
good presiding officer. His handicap
will be in the fact that he has had no
legislative experience while John E.
Weeks of Middlebury, the other can
didate, has served two terms In the
House and one in the Senate and
therefore has better working knowl-
edge of the business. 1t is question
for the members and not for the news

ability and fitness and not giving an
