Evening journal., 1914-09-09

The disposition of both sides along
the main battle line to the east Of
Paris is extremely complex. The front
extends more than 225 miles by an un-
dulating line, which, If drawn straight
would run about $50 miles. Paris is
at the west end of this line and the
Lorraine frontier behind Nancy marks
the eastern end. That is. the fighting
is along a line equalling the Hudson
river between New York and Albany.
The victory of the allies is in front
of the German right wing. That IL has
been thrown back there can be no
doubt and suggestions that the effect
is being felt eight miles to the rear, at
Amines, is a measure of the import
ance Of the success for the allies.

in THEWAR ZONE,
WHAT They MEAN
BY .. W. II. MASON,
Former European Manager Of the
United Press.


NEW YORK. Sept. 9-(11 a. M
The fall of Maubeuge, reported from
Berlin, indicates what traps entrench-
ed camps are and testifies to the wis
dom of the allies in leaving the de-
fenses at La Fere, Laon and Rheims
unguarded, when it became neces-
sary for the first army to retreat
Maubeuge is one of the strongest
fortified centres in France. guarded
by outer and inner rings of detached
forts. It's fate is what the Germans
hoped to inflict upon the allies since
the war began. On a small scale, it
is a reproduction of the grand climax
aimed at by the German strategy.
Maubeuge was not voluntarily de-
Tended by the allies. During the re-
treat from Belgium. part of the Eng
lish expedition and part of the
French force were cut off from the
main body. They had to take refuge
in Maubeuge or surrender. And so
they sought the protection of the
great entrenched camp on the Sam
bre. It has required about a fort
night for Germany's new and un-
precedentedly powerful siege guns to
compel capitulation. The disaster
would now be in process of duplica-
ton elsewhere if the allies had not
foreseen the danger of too much reli-
ance on permanent fortifications
Fortunately for the allies. Maubeuge
stands alone as a demonstration Of
the reason why the French general
stan appears to be more frightened
OF its own permanent than of the
German troops.
Maubeuge's surrender must mean
that the German guns have battered
the defenses to a pulp. A greatly su-
perior force of the enemy must have
been waiting outside to destroy the
defending refugees within. The loss to
the French army if the German figures
are correct, amounts to an army corps.
This goes some way toward reducing
the inequality Of losses caused by the
greater German casualty list during
the advance to Paris.
The chief result of Maubeuge's sur
render. will be the release of the in
vesting force for operations along the
front The Germans may gain in this
way two army corps, at the present
critical moment, when the allies are
endeavoring TO assume the offensive to
the east of Paris.

PUBLIC SCHOOL DRAWING EXHIBIT.
Shows Some Interesting Specimens of
Work Done in Barre.

Students Of the city schools opened
their annual drawing exhibit at the
Mathewson building Thursday after
noon. Pretty much all of the space in
four rooms on the ground floor of the
school was given over to exhibition pur-
poses. During the afternoon there was
a considerable number of parents and
friends of the students coming and
going through the rooms. The exhibit
opened again this afternoon to continue
until o'clock. This year the work of
the pupils is divided carefully into
classes. One who is Interested in the
very elementary branches of drawing in
the schools may devote half an after
noon to looking over the efforts of the
little folks They are interesting and
in some instances give promise of a
good deal of talent Much might be
said of the credita bic showing made by
the more advanced students. 1t is not
too much to say that some of the finest
drawings exhibited in past years were
no better than those to be seen to-day
In all grades little coloring has been
attempted, but some really splendid re-
suits have been attained by pupils about
to finish their courses under the very
competent tutelaee of the drawing
teacher. A stroll through the four rooms
is worth while.

CARS DERAILED
AT DODGE BRIDGE
Barre Branch of Central Vermont Rail-
road Tied Up by Wreck, but No
One Was Injured

Four cars of special freight train No.
1903 outgoing on the Barre branch OF the
Central Vermont railroad, were derailed
near Dodge bridge this afternoon at LAS
o'clock, the branch being tied up effec-
tually and also holding up traffic on the
Barre & Montpelier Traction & Power
eompany's line for a time. No one was
injured.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Charles Simmons and Engineer Joseph
Derry. There were nine cars in the train
and the cause of the derailment is
thought to have been a split rail. A
wreeking train was sent down from the
local station to clear up the track; but
it was thought that traffic would not be
opened up until night. Meanwhile pas
senger trains are to be run over the
Montpelier & Wells River line.
