TOOK IMPORTANT HILL.
East of Ypres Was the German Claim
Admit French Success.

Berlin, via London, May l3.-The Ger
man army headquarters yesterday gave
out report on the progress of hostili'
ties which reads as follows:
"ln the western theatres: Aviators of
the enemy yesterday dropped bombs on
Bruges without doing any damage from
a military point of view.
East Of Ypres we took an important
hill. Dunkirk was bombarded by our
artillery. East of Dixmude we shot
down British flying machine.
Trenches taken by the French dur
ing the past few days between Carenoy
and Neuvilc, north OF Arras, are still
in their possession. Otherwise all the
attempts of the enemy made yesterday
to break through our lines were in vain.
His attacks were confined chiefly
Against our positions to the east and
southeast of Vermelles, in the Lorette
hills, and at the villages of Ablain and
Carneoy, as well as against our positions
to the east and south of Arras.
"Other advances broke down with
heavy losses to the enemy. An attempt
by our opponents to take Hartmanns-
Weilerkopf again resulted in failure. 1t
is a fact that after vigorous prepara-
tions by artillery French Alpine chas-
seurs penetrated into the blockhouse
situated on top of the hill, but they
were Immediately thrown out again.
"ln the eastern theatre, the battle at
Shawl, in Courland. is still raging. with
out any results having been reached.
"On the Bzura, Russian battalion
which made an attempt to cross the river
was annihlated.
Sin the southeastern theatre OF the
war, our pursuit between the Carpathian
and the Nistula river Is still
in full swing and further heavy dam
age has been inflicted upon the enemy
along this entire front. For example,
battalion OF the 4th Foot Guards regi-
ment alone took IA officers, including a
colonel. and $500 men prisoners, and at
the same time captured four cannon. one
machine gun company, with horses, and
one baggage column.
Forces of the Teutonic allies have
crossed the river San between Sanok |
and Dinow. Farther TO the northwest |
hey have reached the region of Res
.owmieslso.
Troops fighting in the Carpathians
IN both sides of the Stry yesterday drove
he enemy out of his position.

W. j. Aldrieh of st. Johnsbury and Col.
John +. Pddock of Saxtons River which
was in session in this city at the Hotel
Vermont yesterday, concluded to pur-
chase the Chase farm in Brandon, which
was sold at auction yesterday. The
commission sent in bid of $4,000,
which bought the property.
The purchase of the Brandon farm is
considered bargain, as IL is said to be
worth $4,000 and is already well
equipped with buildings The only new
structure TO be added viii be a laundry
and dormitory The place, which is
known as the Forest Park Stock farm
consists of 3l2 acres. and il is thought
that other land in the vicinity can be
purchased for a few thousand dollars
more, which will give the institution
400 acres. The work of putting the
farm in shape will be begun in a short
time.
This institution is expected 10 save
the state of Vermont many thousands
OF dollars annually. IL has been the Gus
tom for years past to send feeble mind.S
children 10 institutions of other states.
and the practice has been expensive. The
institutions harboring the class of chill
dren mentioned from Vermont are al
ready taxed 10 their capacity and a
school for feeble minded children has
become practical necessity for this
state. When the newly purchased farm
il ready there viii be about one hundred
patients transferred there at once.

Make 500 Convicts Idle

jefferson City, April 27.-For the
first time in more than thirty years
today between five hundred and six
hundred able bodied convicts in the
penitentiary are In idleness. The re-.
suit was brought about by the Star

the prison. 1t employed approx.
mately one thousand convicts day.
although of late it had not been EN-.
ploying so many. Part of these men
have been taken over by the Ober.
man Clothing Company. .
The state is losing both ways. It
loses the labor of these men, which,
were they employed by the contract
ors, would bring in rs cents each a
day, and. in addition, it costs the state
approximately fifty-one cents a day
TO keep a convict.
The board of prison inspectors is
rushing arrangements to start the
manufacture of overalls, underwear,
shoes and such clothing as can be
utilized by the various county and
:ity charity institutions. These inst.

inmates, and it wilIrequire about forty
thousand pairs of shoes year to sup
'ly them. There is a law which re-
luires these institutions to buy from
