STATE FAIR FISH EXHIBIT
Commissioner TitcomD Sends to Paci
fio Coast for Piscatorial Eggs

John w Titcomb OF Lyndonville
fish and game commissioner, stated
that preparations are being made for
the fisheries exhibit al the state iair
this fall. This exhibit was not open
last year owing to lack of water. Ar
engagements have been made to secure
salmon eggs from the Columbia riv-
sr in order to have two troughs of
eggs Matching and give the people an
dea of the process
1t is necessary to so to the Pacific
coast for eggs because none of the
species indigenous to our waters
spawn at this season of the year.
SPECIAL efforts are being made to
have larger exhibit than ever before
and through the courtesy of the state
fish and game league four additional
aquaria have been obtained and in
stalled by the fair managers. The
various species OF fishes propagated
n Vermont viii be shown. and as
many varieties as possible of the
Lake Champlain fishes.
The fish exhibits are very instruc-
tive and it is for that reason that
he commissioner thinks it well
worth special effort to have as
thorough an exhibit as possible. The
commissioner also furnishes TO the
Addison and Rutland county fairs
various species propsgated at the
state hatchery and aids also in secur
ing the Lake Champlain fishes for
the fairs.
Probably no building at any one oil
these fairs has Il larger number Of
visitors than the fisheries building.
John H. Niles OF Alburg has been en-
gagged to haul seines periodically
through the fair season in connection
with the studies OF the whitehsh, and
incidental to that work, some OF the
ish taken preceding the fairs win be
used for the live fish exhibit

TREAcHERY IN LORRAINE
People in Lorraine Welcomed French
and Then Betrayed Them

Paris, Aug. Pa dispatch re-
ceived here from Bourges gives the
recital of French officer wounded in
Lorraine He sets forth how the
Germans were aided by the local in
habitants.
The officials of villages in Lorraine
fell upon the necks OF the French
troops when they came into town
and greeted them as saviors. No
sooner had they done this than they
would go to the edge of the village
and hang out French flags, big white
sheets, etc, to indicate to the enemy
the exact position OF the French sol
diers. A local schoolmaster cor
rected the range OF the German guns
by moving the hands of the church
clock.
At Dieuze the French were per-
suaded that they would meet no op.
position. Despite these assurances.
however, they came upon concrete
trenches filled with German troops
and supported by quick-fring guns.
After they had stormed the trenches
with the bayonet and were resting,
they heard the strains of Choppin's
Funeral March played by a military
band in the distance. This music
served as a prelude to storm of
shells from a masked battery.

had their origin in the rear of the
basement. fed on a pile OF boxes in
the cellar, scorching the overays on

cally every room in the Jackson

and Office tenants of the structure on

Manager Deep fIabeb of the bar

lost $1,000 by smoke, and the sum Of

on the building. To the fore on the
second floor is the suite OF rooms &C
cupied by S. HOLSTER Jackson as a
law office Mr. Jackson's valuable IL
brary is stored in glass cases and es
capped any appreciable damage, al

WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION
Will Be Entertained by the Citizens
OF Troy

The Atlantic Deeper Waterways
association will be in session here
Saturday, Sept. 26, and will be en-
tertained by the people OF Troy The
general committee of 200 selected by
the chamber OF commerce and other
commercial organizations and OF
which Mayor Burns is chairman
will meet in few days and arrange
the plans for the reception. The com
mittee has been made up of men who
have reputation as hustlers; for
Troy feels that not only its fame for
hospitality, but its position as in line
for future waterway Improvements,
must be maintained on this occasion.
While the association will be in
Troy one day its convention will oc
cupy four days Most OF the sessions
will be held on a steamboat, which
will be on a new voyage each day
II is desired by those who are inter
ested in the work OF the association.
and will also be in interest OF this
city that as many as possible from
Troy attend the sessions of the con
vention by taking the trip on the
steamer Berkshire of the Hudson Ma
vigation company Either the Rens-
selaer or the Trojan will bring the
delegates from Albany to this city.

through the bridge
At Troy and Waterford locks OF the
new barge canal will be inspected
and the arsenal at Watervliet, and
there will be various elements of en-
tertanment, including an automobile
ride for the ladies of the party. II is
probable that a session of the con.
vention will be held at Music hall
and afterwards there will be exer
cises at the state armory. After the
inspection OF the barge canal work
at Waterford and vicinity, and of the
state dam at Troy. the delegates will
take the boat to Albany. where they

treat
The only news from the French
side is that the French troops were
attacked along the Alsace-Lorraine
line, but repulsed the attacks success
fully. There is no indication that the
German attack was in any great force
but, if ii was. the French success
shows that they are now in strong
position along this frontier from
which they will be driven only by
great sacrifices on the part OF Ger

A more hopeful feeling prevails in
England as TO the strength OF the
French defensive position. The re-

has been partly due to the desire of
the French army to achieve a bril-.
