WAR CENTERED
ON THREE GREAT
BATTLEFIELDS

day shows that the British army no
longer constitutes the left wing of the
allied forces. but that the French have
reinforced them on the west. 1t further
states that the French have been fight
ing both east and west of them and have
brought the German steam roller to n
standstill for a time
GERMANS TO RENEW ATTACK.
The Germans are believed to be pre-
pairing another heavy attack and Great
Britain anxiously awaits word of a great
battle. of which her army may be a
focal point. How far the Uhlans have
spread into French territory. it is impos-
sihle to learn from the many wild re-
ports fugitives have brought into Eng
land but rich country with impor-
tant manufacturing cities is evidently in
their grasp.
From Holland and Belgium comes cir
cumstantial reports that the Germans
are moving part of their army by trains
back from Belgium. Apparently these
troops are destined to meet the Russians.
and If the reports are true it may mean
that the Germans feel strong enough on
the French frontier to spare part of thoir
force or that they consider the repulse
of the Russian invasion more important
than throwing a great army into France.

punished and only saved themselves by
scattered flight.
BRITISH SUPERIOR.
The superior gun power and strength
of the British destroyer, ship for snip

stroyers themselves did not hesitate to
engage the cncmy's cruisers, both with
guns and torpedoes, with hardihood and
two of them got knocked about In the

information from German sources con-

railroad officials
The car which has been used Is not or
the type required by the company but was
one sent here for equipment with storage
batteries, to determine whether such car
could he used satisfactorily over the de-
sired routes. Whether or not It Is to be
retained until such time as cars designed
as the Central Vermont requires are re-

sion. no definite statement could be mad.

CENTRAL VERMONT
STORAGE BATTERY
UNDERGOES TESTS

Brattleboro, Aug. 27-The storage bat
terry car which has been given trial runs
In the past week between Brattleboro
and Millers Falls and Brattloboro and
West Townshend, made one this morn
Ing to Millers Falls, the running time
being IS minutes, which Is inside of the
schedule time On the return trip two
women were taken on at Pickle siding"
between Mortified and Gil and brought
to Brattleboro. They are the first per
sons of their sex TO have ridden over n
portion of the Central Vermont railroad
by electric power,
The trip to Mnlers Falls and return
was entirely satisfactory and the return
was made In as good time as the down
trip. At 2:20 O'Clock this afternoon the
car started for West Townshend. 1t is
this part of the run that is the hardest
on the batteries because of the grades
and curves.
The representatives. Of the Central Yer
mont railroad who are making the trial
trips will report. to the company their
opinions Of the capabilities of the car and
the company will decide whether this trial
car is to be kept until such time as cars
built to meet the specifications of the
company can be delivered, or whether the
operation of a car viii be suspended until
such cars can be delivered,
In the event that it is decided to keen
this car temporarily some changes will be
necessary, including the relocating of the
batteries and the better ventlating OF
them for they become greatly heated
when the grades are heavy and curves
sharp. These changes will require some
time II 1t is decided to keep the car. so
that In any even it will be a least a week
or ten days before n car will be regularly
operated by electric power, and possibly
considerably longer.
