SELECTMEN GUT
 DOWN TELEPHONE POLE IN NEW TOWN
Religious Observance of Peace
 Sunday in Churches.

Newtown5 Oct. 5-FIrst SeIectman w. C. Johnson signalized the close of his administration by a characteristic performance illustrating his well known independence. Saturday after noon in com pany with Se1ectman Nor rls D. Beers he repaired to the Hunt ington pike and borrowing an axe of a nearby resident deliberate tely chopped the Western. Union Telegraph oom- pany unbuckled the wires which he attached to the fenee, and together with the town officials carried the pole to the side of the road where it would no longer be an obstruction to traffic, nor impede the passage of water in the gutters This is the sequel to what the doughty first seIectman con siders a high-handed act of this cor poration. It seems several weeks ago the company was notified that one oi their poles was squareIy in the gutter of this thorpughfare the town had wtd- ened, and must be removed. After a ga11ing delay, the company sent on pole, but planted a new and larger pole right in the exact spot where the pole complained of stood. An ultima t11n was sent the main office of this corporation which expired Friday. Yes~ terday the majesty ~ the town of Newtowne spoke with the results chron- ieled above. A registered letter con- taining the facts were mailed today to the offending corporation.

 forcementg, the Russians in east Prus- facilities No matter how great the physical conditions alone would pre- vent any duplication Of the wonderful march of the German forces through Belgium and northern France.
 Fighting is reported around Douai, 15 miles east-northeast of Arras, and if this is true General Won Klucl1 is in as dangerous a, predicame11t as he has been since the allies began their determined movement to turn the Ger man right in northern France.
 A lull beitting the day evidently prevailed Sunday along the great bat tie front. The anxiety over the French situation at St. Mihiel evidently has been greatly relieved by the move nent which threatens the rear of the Crown Princes army.
 k It now seems certain that the forts in the outer rim Of the Antwerp de- lenses are. still occupied by the de lenders, but those must have suffered greatly. The despearte efforts on the part of the Germans to cross the river tNethe, where their advance lines rest, have been Irepu1sed Along this line one Of the great, German siege guns is said to have been lost in a swamp. If this is true it is a serious disaster to the Germans. for the huge weapons are not easy to replace. The latest re- ports from the besieged city indicate that two attempts of the Germans to cross the nJethe have been srnothered by the defenders artillery.

Rousset. French military critic, de- clares that the battle still can. last for some time, pointing out that mod ern encounters last now as long as certain campaigns formerly did.
 With the shifting of the battle scenes the railroads are resuming traffic through 3 number of cities which had been occupied by the Germans.
