THE WAR SITUATION
FROM DAY TO DAY
(Byt Herman ,Ridder.)

The murder Of the !Archduke OF
Austria was one Of the Immediate
causes of'tlie war. 1t led to tile send
ing of the Austrian ultimatum. The
reports, which reached this Country
at that time, caused the impression
to become, general that the5Austrian
government served an iimpertinent
and rigorous ultimatum, which, de.
spite its severity, was accepted by
Servia with but one reservation. The
Servians did not propose 10 permit.
Austrian officials to take part In the
investigation to uncover the plot
which led to the murder, basing It's
refusal on the necessity OF MAINTAIN.
ing the dignity of its government.
1t has been assumed that the Scr.
vians In yielding on all other Ques.
lions involved showed willingness
TO settle the points at issue. Austri-
an sympatllizers at first, unaware Of
tic facts OF the case, maintained'that
outraged Austria had no more trans.
crossed its international rights than
the United States had done in send
ing the ultimatum to Mexico prevf.
Gus to the taking of Vera Cruz.
Tho servian answer has now bel
come matter of history. What 4

people to so into all the details. II

and character of the answer by re.

Austria demanded in its ultimatum
the elimination Of such seryian
school teachers as were clearly iden:
titled with the anti-Austrian agita.

Worlds Most Desperate Battle.

London, Sept. 1880 p. m.-The
Exchange Telegraph's Paris cores
pondent in a dispatch received to-
night, says: iwI
"a comprehensive account of the
five days battle on the Aisne river,
which he described as the fiercest in
the Western Hemisphere. since the
French officer who arrived in Paris
today. ~sss
"On the morning of the 14th, the Of
ficer said, the Germans called a halt.
but by afternoon the battle had be-
come general All next day the battle
was of a ding dong nature. the Ger
mans evidently awaiting reinforce
ments. During the night, however.
they delivered a furious attack on tho
extreme left but the British and
French troops galantly met the on
slaught, repulsing the Germans no
fewer than ten times with fearful
losses.
"The Germans still came on, how
ever. seeking to pierce the French
line. There had been nothing like it
since the beginning of the campaign.
The enemy hurled dense masses Of
troops at us in supreme endeayor to
check our forward progress, but when
dawn came we still held the position
and even had gained ground slightly.
THE artillery duel was continued
throughout the next day. The morn
ing of the 18th again saw desperate
fighting. This time we threw the
Germans back some ten kiiometers,
lcapturing six hundred men and lot
of mitrailtuses."

TOCUT OFF
SUPPLIES
THIS WILL BE THE SuREST
METHOD OF DEFEATING THE
GREAT GERMAN ARMY NOW
FIGHTING IN FRANCE.

London, Sept. 19.-3 a. m.-ThC
Paris correspondent of the Reuter-
Telegram Company says the concen
sus OF opinion in the French capital Is
that the battle of the Asne is the
most important since the beginning
of the war. His dispatch continues
"The information communicated by
the genera staff is onsidered salts
fatory as showing that the allies
frontal attack is developing under a
vorable conditions and that the
enemys counter attacks are being
repulsed. 1t must be realized, how
ever, that the allies gains necessarily
are very slow, owing to the enormous
strength Of the German fortified posi-
tions.
1T seems final success will be
achieved by threatening the German
communications, rather than by carry
ing their positions by frontal attack
Meanwhi it must not be imagined
that the enemys communications are
so precarious as is generally sup
posed. SO long as the Germans hold
Tergnier and Laon they have at their
command not only two lines of rail
way, running across the Belgian prov.
ince of Luxemburg and the depart
ment of the Meuse, France, but also
the Belgian railway system entering
France by the way of Mons, st. Queu-
tin and Tc.gnier.
There was furious fighting yester.
day at point where the British
troops formed part of the allies line
Some Of the best English, Scotch and
Irish regiments suffered severely
They performed unflinchingly the
duties set for them and occupied some
advance German positions but at con.
siderable loss.
The German entrenchment to the
north of Chalons-Sur-M Marine are
strong. They are more than three
feet deep with splinter screens every
twenty yards and resting places COW
cred with earth. The trenches con
sist of several parllel rows flanked
by other trenches running at right an.
giles and containing concealed ma
chine guns. It is easy to understand
that confronted by such obstacles the
allies advance is slow.
1T is understood that the British,
French and German governments
have agreed to arrange for the ex.
change of prisoners through the
agency OF the United States govern
ment'

THE Germans today completed the
destruction of the town OF rermona"
(Dendermonde) 16 miles southeast OF

church still stands, though its tower
ih damaged. The hospital was more

sending their main army east to con.
front the Russians. Apparently thoy
are concentrating their western ar
mics for, with the exception of occa.
sional Uhlan troops, northwestern
France seems nearly clear of Ger
mans. The Calais and Boulogne
routes to Paris have been reopened.
One of these Uhlan patrols was
caught by a British armored motor
car in command of Commander Sam
son at DoulIons on the main road
north Of Amies a few days ago and
four out of five of its men wera
killed. The other Uhlan was wounded
and captured. Commander Samson is
one of the most efficient of the
navy's flying men, many Of whom are
now working with the army. His ex-
plot shows that the British, like the
Germans, have armored cars with
which to chase scouting parties.
Reports from Petrograd today say
the Russian pursuit of the Austrians
continues, and that the Russians hay e
gained important successes over the
Austrian rear guard. Conveys of two
army corps with thirty guns and am
munitiOn and 5000 prisoners are said
to have been captured. The whole of
the Austro-Russian border between
Yusevoff and Annopal is reported to
be overrun by Cossacks leading the
Russian advance.
The Russian army now in Galicia
will be left there to complete its
work, for according to a Rome dis
patch, an army of 100000 Russians is
marching into central Poland, fo.-
lowed by another army of 100000,
while a third army also aggregating
two millions is coming from more dis
tant places and will reach the front in
OCTOBER.
There are said to be a million Rus
SLAMS in Galicia and a half million in
East Prussia. While these numbers
are enormous they are considered
probably fair estimate of what Rus
sia soon Will have available for her
war. 1t is said she will have 100000
men on the move.
While continuing the offensive in
Galicia, Russia is standing on tE~ de-
fensive on the East Prussian frontier,
her army having been driven back by
the Germans. This army, however, Is
said TO be intact.
There was a remarkable scene TO-
day In the house OF commons alter
the signing of the home rule bill by
King George. For the first time as
far as can be recalled, the members
of the house sang God Save the
King" and the nationalists, who pre-
viously had refrained from singing
the national anthem, joined in.
Another precedent will be broken
when Premier Asquith and John Red
mond. the Irish leader, address re-
cruiting meetings in Ireland, and stlll
another when the Irish legion, whlch
tho nationalists are forming, fights
under the British flag. There nave
bsen many Irish legions, some o.
which have fought on French SOIL ou'
with one exception never under the
flag of Britain.

Electric Plant Pays Nearly $4,000.

Again the village report, which will
be in the hands of the voters in day
or two, shows that Barton's municipal
electric plant is paying investment.
Until last year the balance has been
on the wrong side of the column
usually. but this year again a slight
margin to the good is shown and there
is every reason to expect an even
better showing in the future, as the
revenue from Orleans will be increased
and the natural consumption of cur
rent increases from year to year as
new appliances are brought into use.
The trustees in their report state that
the plant shows a profit of So, 1884. II.
In spite of the fact that over $4,000
was expended in building the power
line to the quarries and other repairs,

sewer job at the south end of the

undertaken very soon and a thorough

ing, next, contains Ia articles but only
two are outside the routine business.
Those two are II and IL and read as
follows:
II To see if the village will vote to

A FEW STATE RESULTS.
Direct Primary Endorsed. State House
Addition Fails of Carrying. License
Majorities Smaller

Vermont will go under the direct
primary system as result of yester-
days balloting.
The proposition received an en-
dorsement that was practically state
wide. Every county turned in large
vote in favor Of it and only scattering
towns showed majority in opposi-
ton.
The proposition for the approval of
the bill providing for the erection of
an additional building in Montpelier
for the uses of the state did not re-
ceive majority of the of the votes
cast.
Montpelier voted license by 27 while
Barre went dry by 81 majority. Bur-
Hngton continues wet but Bennington
went dry by two votes. Indications
are that the no vote in the state was
larger than usual and that the license
majorities in most places carried were
small. ST. Albans and Rutland both
stay in the license column. Brighton
Usland Pond went wet. Groton,
which spoiled Caledonia county's
''lily white" record last year went dry
yesterday. Only Is towns and cities
in the state voted license, the small
est number since the present law
took effect. Orleans county's vote
