rived this morning (probably Thurs
dav) on the shooting grounds at the
gates of Brussels, whittier the borgu-

the afternoon German officers, occu-
pying an automobile, crossed Grand
Place (the market place. going to the
city hall, while detachments of Ger
mans went through various parts of
the city.
The telegraph Office and railway sta
ton we're closed for the greater part
of the day. Many of the inhabitants
of Brussels are leaving for Client and
Ostend. The general opinion is that
the Germans will only pass through
the city, or at the most make very
short stay.
The only signs of animation in the
nlace are caused by the arrival of
neasants, who are abandoning the
surrounding villages. The German
troopers have established themselves
on the shooting ground. They are
understood to have said they had been
ont off from the rest of the army.

PRIMAVERA GONE;
PROBABLY IN EUROPE
The Supreme Court Had Re-
versed Verdict Of Sec
ond Degree Murder

! When the case of state VS.. John Tur-
ley was called in Washington county
court yesterday afternoon States At
torney Carver announced that he had
/ been unable to secure one OF the states
chief witnesses, Primavera, who is sup.
posed to be in Europe, and after hearing
that statement Judge Miles fixed Tur-
| ley's bail at $4,000 and allowed the
respondent to go on his own reeogniz-
ance. Turley was once convicted of
murder in the second degree in the death
of John McAulay at Granitevile on
July III. 1911, but the supreme court re-
yersed the verdict.
The verdict was secured at September,
1911, term of county court at Mont
pelier, and the respondent was sentenced
to state prison. Appeal was taken and
the case was argued before the supreme
court at the November term. On an
opinion by Judge Powers the verdict was
reversed and the cause remanded, chiefly
because of the admission at the trial of
statement purporting TO have been
written by Primavera while he was
prisoner in the county Jail. he having
been indicted in connection with Nc.
Aulay's death This statement was read
to the jury in county court.
Sometime after the trial in the lower
court and before the arguing OF the case
in supreme court, Primavera left this
section and has not returned. 1t was
supposed he went TO Europe and the
Wood Morgan agency was enlisted in the
search for him. Some months ago Shef-
if Tracy went to Europe and conducted
a search for the missing witness. but al
though he got trace OF him he could not !
find his whereabouts at the time OF the
search.
+, Failure of the state TO produce Prim.
avera caused postponement of the re-
trial of Turley in county court and on |
the second failure to produce the witness |
the court decided to let Turley go on his 1
own recognizanee. This was done yes
terday afternoon and Turley left the
in company with his brother.
While awaiting his second trial Turley
las been confined in the county jail at
Montpelier. He formerly was a quarry |,

London, Oct 24-The Germans have
undertaken n general offensive move
ment along the line extending from the
mouth of the river User, on the North
sea, TO the river Meuse, and while they
have compelled the allies to give ground
in some places, they themselves have
lost positions in others This, in a few
words, is what r. gathered from official
reports coming from the French and
the German headquarters.
The German attack yesterday was
particularly severe in the west where
their right wing, strongly reinforced hg
fresh troops, attempted an advance
against the Belgians, who are holding the
allies extreme left This left rests on
the coast and is supported by English
and French warships and BY Anglo
French troops, which form a front az q

no change in The situation, the swinging
