War SITUATION
SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS PRE-
PARED By THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 20.-Special:
Progress of the allies in northern
France and Belgium is indicated by
the statement issued by the British
official press bureau that in the
northern area the Germans have been
driven back more than thirty miles.
This is in part confirmed by an
American dispatch which says that
the Germans have evacuated Courtrai
but still hold Lille.
This advice, however, has refer
ence only to what was formerly
known as the French left wing. This
wing now extends to the North sea
and it is here the British and French
reinforcements have been placed in
the line to meet the heavy reinforce
ments which have come to the Ger
man right wing-the army which is
trying to force its way down the
coast to the French channel ports.
On this important phase of the
great battle the latest official state
ment issued by the French val office
gives little information except for
the recording of the recapture of Ar
mentieres by the allies and the re-
pulse of several attacks by Germans
i'm Belgium, with a notable advance
north of Arras. There has beer
fighting also in the neighborhood OF
st. Dye, where the Germans have
been endeavoring to force their way
through the French lines.

LUTHERAN SYNOD
IN SESSION AT SIOUX FALLS
ADOPTS ARTICLES OF
CHURCH UNION.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 20.-With about
$50 clerical and lay delegates in at
tendance at the fourth day of the SEES
sions of the Norwegian Lutheran sy-
nod now in convention here, one eli
max in the conference was reached
with the vote on the adoption of the
proposed articles of church union
which carried with the minority body
showing one-third of the strength of
the synod.
President DR.. III. G.. Stub suggested
that the report of the union commit
tee be considered after adopting the
report of committee on credentials.
The suggestion was adopted.
The preamble of the report ex-
presses gratitude to God for uniting
the former opponents in a common
faith, makes a confession of sins COM
lnitted during the many years of
strife, and asks divine forgiveness for
sins as we'll as mutual forgiveness.
a large number of members object to
the statement that unity of faith has
been attained, doubling or denying
the fact.
The vote on the preamble resulted

son, Mimi, and Delegates T. Dahlen

Maddox stated that to save time
they would not vote on every para
graph, but simply register their vote
against the whole report on the final
vote by roll call. They advised all
of their opinion as to union articles
to do the same.
The assembly having decided to
take a rising vote on each one of the
nineteen points in the report, the ma
jority rose to register their vote at
every point, the minority remaining
seated and taking NO part in the
vote. The report provides for paying
all indebtedness of the respective
three church bodies which are par
ties to the agreement, the transfer of
all property to the new Joint organiza-
tion and Incorporation Of the new Or
gaization as soon as possible.
The question was raised during the
vote on the articles. whether the pub

apolis advised caution In adopting
the clause providing for the transfer
OF all synod property to the new or
ganization. Rev. p. Koren of Cal

churches which had contributed gen
erously TO acquiring the synod prop
erty. against transfer of such prop

Delegate G.. o. Haugen of Maddox

synod had power to transfer property

ABOUT COMETS
Delavan Wanderer May BE Seen i'm
the Northwest.

Brookings, Oct. 20.-Have you
seen the comet of 1913-"Delevan?'
1t now appears nightly in the north
west and may be eel with the naked
eye about z p. m, approximately s
degrees below the end star of the
handle of the big dipper, according
to Clifford N. Mills of the state col
lege mathematics department. Prof.
Mills says:
This comet was discovered over a
year ago, when it was predicted that
it would be visible to the naked eye
this fall. Since it's position is so near
the horizon, it is a little difficult to
study ii with the telescope. For this
reason it is better to examine Ii dur
ing the early morning hours before
sunrise.
THE orbit of this comet Is believed
TO be parabolic or h%yperbolic, which
means that it will not return to our
vision after disappearing in midwin.
ter. The orbits of comets are now
thoroughly understood and their mo
tion calculable with as much accuracy
as the nature of the observations
permit. However, in the study OF
their physical constitution and be
havior we find some of the most per
picking and battling problems in tho
| whole range of astronomy.
While comets shine partly by re.
flected light, they are also self lumin.

are the bulkiest bodies known, except

What Vail Could Do.

The press of Vermont, so far as it
has expressed any opinion, has freely rec
ognized the ability of Theodore N. Vail
to give the state of Vermont strong,
clean and businesslike administration
as governor. The matter has been dis
cussed outside Of Vermont in the most
favorable way, Ii Mr.. Vail should see
tit to accept the nomination there is no
doubt Vermont would be ION the map"
the country over to a greater extent than
it has been during the last generation.
Mr.. Vail would be able to give the state
what it most needs, constructive pro-
gram in which capital would be given
reasonable opportunity for profitable in
vestment and the public guarded against
the over-reaching of capital. If the
west side" men do not take the field
the least siders" may insist on giving
the state the biggest man to be found
in the whole state.-St. Johnsbury Gale

wELL-KNowN BUSINESS MAN.
Albert E. Cahee Died in Rutland Satur-
day Afternoon.

Rutland, April 6.--The death of AL
bert 4. Cahee, one of Rutland's best
known business men, occurred about
o'clock Saturday afternoon at his home
Crescent place. Mr.. Cahee about two
years ago suffered a stroke of apoplexy
but since that time had been able to be
about and was down on the streets re-
Gently. About week ago his health
began to fail rapidly, and Saturday
morning he awoke with a violent head
ache. About noon he was seized with
convulsion and passed away without
regaining consciousness.
Mr.. Cahee was born at Brandon May
1, 1850, the son of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. John X. Cahee. He was married
November 5, 1888, at Rutland, to Miss
Alta Snow. Besides his wife, he is sur
vived by one daughter, Miss Rita Cahee
of Rutland, and a foster brother, Frank
Cahee, who lives in Massachusetts.
The business career of the deceased
began in Rutland thirty-five years ago,
when as a clerk he entered the employ
of the late John ". Stearns, furniture
dealer. He served as clerk for Mr..
Stearns for twelve years, severing his
connection with the store to become a
member of the firm of Cahee & Packer,
]. D. S. Packer of Mount Holly being
the senior member of the firm. The
new firm opened a store at that time at
the corner of West street and Mer-
chants row, where the Verder block now
stands. G. w. Spencer, who was EN-
ployed as clerk in the Cahee & Packer
store, bought out quarter interest of
Mr.. Packer seventeen years ago, and the
firm then became known as Cahee.
Packer & Spencer. It was at the time
of the formation of that company that
the Cahee block on Grove street was
built.
Five years later Mr.. Spencer bought
all the interest of Mr.. Packer, and the
firm then was known as Cahee g. Spen-
Ger. Ii was September | 1902 that Mr.
Spencer retired from the firm and the
Cahee House Furnishing company was
organized. The 18th of last February,
Mr.. Cahee sold the business to ]. A.
Weelwood and p. j. Dolan of Rutland
and f. J. Seamans of Fair Haven. Sew
eral years ago a branch store at Fair
Haven was opened by Mr.. Cahee. The
sale in February also included the Fair
Haven property.
Mr.. Cahee was a Scottish Rite Mason
and a Skinner. While he was not
member of the Baptist church, he at
tended that church.
