the ALLIES ARE
FORGING AHEAD
They Are Within -Four Miles
Of OStand.
ADMIT LOSS OF VILLAGE
But Claim Progress at All Other
Points-cermans Assert They Have
Best of Fighting.

London, Nov 3.-Dispatches to the
Daily Mail from various correspond
ents at different points in the feid Oh
operations III northern France report
the continuous success OF the allies,
who have reached within four miles
of Ostend, namely Lehlnghe.
The German attack, it is stated, Is
mainly in the direction of Lettinghe
and Slyue. Three thousand Germans
left Ostend for Zeebrugge On Friday
and reports persist that the Germans
have left Ostend.
A Reuter- dispatch from an unnam-
ed point on the Belgian frontier says
that firing was heard throughout the
night from the vicinity Of Thourout
and Lichtervelde, in Belgium. Ii fight
ing was in progress at these points
it would appear that the Germans
have been compelled to retreat con-
siderable distance east of DiXmunde.
1t is stated that the allies have in
tercepted a message from Emperor
William to the Duke of Wurtemburg,
telling him it is absolutely imperative
to capture Ypres before Nov. l, 9th,
erwise it will be necessary for the
Germans to withdraw behind tbs
Rhine.
The skilfull General Won Meyer
was killed at DiXmunde on Friday.
A Reuter- dispatch from Amster.
dam says a report received there from
Flushing declares heavy gun firing
was heard all day Sunday near the
Dutch frontier. The dispatch adds
that it is reported also the allies have
occupied Mariakerke, on the sea
southwest of Ostend.
The correspondent of the Times in
northern France, telegraphing under
date of Sunday says that the allies
are daily creeping on toward Ostend,
which is now hardly occupied at all
in a military sense. The number OF
Germans holding it is so negligible,
he says, that if the allies achieve a
definite victory in the fight for the
river, Ostend will fall INTERESTINGLY
into their hands.
The correspondent Of the Times in
northern France telegraphs that the
allies have penetrated to the north
and east of Lille which, he says, "cer.
tainly has been evacuated by the Ger.
mans and there is good reason to be-
neve that it has been occupied by the
allies
A Rotterdam dispatch says: "'Ad-
vices received from Belgian coast
towns state that the exchange of mill.
tary fire by the Germans and the
warships has wrecked most of these
towns. Westende, Westkercke and
Middlekerke are all in ruins"
The CORES pondetn Of the Times in
northern France telegraphs, under
date of Sunday, that report has
reached him that as the result at the
blowing up Of railway bridge BY 9
Belgian cyclist corps a very large
German corps was cut off from the
main army and to the number OF
many thousands have surrendered.

July Is, 1865, and passed peacefully
away at his home in this village
March 10. 1914. after long illness.
All that skill and tenderest care could
do was done, but all was Of no avail.
AS the beautiful spring is near at
hand, his life went out, and his body
now rests in the cemetery on the hill
side. Mr. Blake was a kind. pleasant
man, and had host of friends, as was
shown by the large number who
attended the funeral and the many
beautiful flowers which covered and
surrounded the casket. The Barton
Fire Department, of which Mr.. Blake
was a member. gave a beautiful
wreath. He leaves widow and brother
who have the sympathy Of the COM

PASSUMPSfC DISCUSSION
Governor Ailudes to Transactions Of
Company in Board Of Appeal Hearing
and Attorney Jones Replies.

At the hearing in Montpelier last
week before the state board Of appeal
on telephone appraisals, the following
is reported as part Of the testimony.
Representing the state, Gov. Fletcher
said:
Permit me to say, if you will read
that report you will discover that the
commission finds that one branch of
the state government, the then exist
ing public service commission, by it's
action in the Passumpsic territory
barred the state from any act of
regulation and has left the people of
that territory with no alternative
other than competition to get at what
might be fair basis for rates. Now
the state desires to avoid being in any
way placed in position that is unjust
to 1t or unjust to any of the compan-
les. 1t does not desire to regulate
prices on the one hand and to increase
taxes on the other in an unfair and
unjust way.
''If you will read the history of the
Passumpsic territory it will be entirely
clear to you what the governor is try
ing to bring to your attention. Some
thing is said in the press this morning
relative to the attitude of some of
these public service corporations to
the other states, growing out of their
relations here.
"In that connection ask you partic-
ularly to read the conditions that
developed in the Passumpsic territory
where particularly the New England
was a party, the guarantee of the
principal and interest of certain stocks
where companies were to be brought
together, and the fabric created
which it now says it cannot pay inter-
est upon. Permit the suggestion to
the attitude of the New England at
that time to those other states? What
has been the attitude of the New
