AMERICAN DEATHS
DUE TO CAPTAIN
OF ARMENIAN
Tried to Run Away After Order By
Submarine to Stop
TWO MORE SHIPS TORpEDOED
British Think That Departure oi
Ships From American Ports Is
Tipped Off to Germans.

Washington, July 2.-The Armen-
ian case is not one that requires any
action on the part OF the United
States and there is relief in official
circles.
For two reasons it is pointed out
that the Armenian was liable to at
tack. The first is that she was en-
gagged in admiralty business and the
second is that she tried to escape af-
ter being ordered TO stop by the cap
tain of the German submarine.
Engaged in admiralty business
means that ship is withdrawn eth.
er permanently or temporarily from
its regular run in order TO perform
some duty under orders OF the ad--

BOYS AND GIRLS INTERESTED
In Statewide Agricultural and Indus
trial Exposition

: Vermont led off this year with the
first exhibition given over entirely to
the boys and girls in New England,
If not in the eastern states, and
many have desired that it be contin-
ued and made permanent state In
stitution The committees are now
sending out handbook and prelimin-
airy prize lists for the second annual
Vermont boys and girls industrial
exposition and many will be pleased
at the decision to follow up the spend
id beginning made in 1914.
The Windsor County Y. NJ. c. A..
committee, who. Initiated and directed
the three state corn shows ana the
1914 boys and girls exposition, have
made every effort to liaye the 1915
exposition held in some part of the
state, il suitable buildings can be pro
cured, in order that it might touch
other communities and arouse the
widest possible interest, and at the
invitation OF the Rutland BUSINESS
| Mems association with desire
to hold the exposition at the time
of the annual convention OF the Yer
mont State Teachers association, it
will he held in the new exhibition
buildings on the Rutland fair grounds
Rutland, Vermont, during the last
week in October 26, ", 2s. 80, 1915.
The committee believes that the
success of the 1914 exposition viii
lead many all over the state to co
operate this year and look forward
to the 1915 exposition. With the fl
nancial assistance made possible
through the appropriation of state
funds and by interested friends and
organizations, it is believed that as
comprehensive a showing can be
made in Rutland the coming fall.
The committee of management will
have the services of Archibald c.
Hurd, director of the three state corn
shows and the 1914 boys and girls
exposition, his time being donated by
the Windsor County Y NJ. c. A.
The committee on management
will also have the assistance of Il. l..
ingalls,, state agent in charge of club
work, and Miss BessieM Thayer of
the agriculture extension service,
University of Vermont at no expense
to the management
Many older boys and girls one to
be selected from each county, will
again be given supervision of certain
sections ofthe exposition and will be
known as the committee of heads of
departments, cooperating with the
exposition executive committee.
In order that the various club lead
ers, school superinetndents, teachers
and others interested may have the
general plan before them, so that the
arrangemnts for exhibiting may be
gin early, they are being sent the
prize list at this time. 1t is expected
that other prizes will be offered later.
SO much cooperation has already
been assured that the second eXposi-
tion will prove a greater success than
the 1914 event.

City New Years week. The success
of "The Heart of, Paddy Whack, "

that Mr.. Olcott has not been many
miles from New York since he open

London, Friday, July 2.-The north
ward drive of the Austro-German
armies from Galicia into Poland is
daily becoming more formidable, and
England is puzzled as to whether
they purpose to make their main Ell
fort in this direction, instead of main
tanning concentrated offensive to
the eastward, to force the Russians
out of the southeast tip of Galicia.
Whatever the ultimate object is
the fighting along the Gnila Lipa has
not abated, and the latest Berlin Off
cial, COMMUNICATION not only records
progress in this sector, but further
north, in the arc around Lemberg, as
we'll as along what has now become
the northern front, between the Wis
tnla and Bug Rivers.
7 The Austro.Gernian forces on this
front are estimated at 100000 men,
and their progress has been rapid.
They have crossed the forest fringing
the Tanew River and have taken the
fortress of Zamose, twenty-five miles
north of the Galician frontier.
Only 100 miles to the north is the
great Russian base, Brest Litoysk,
linked with Warsaw by important
railways and lying almost due east of
the Polish capital.
The development of the Galieian
campaign has created a situation en-
tirely unexpected by the Allies. A
few months ago the Russians were at
the Carpathian passes, and during
the Spring months there were conf
dent predictions both in England and
France that Hungary would soon be
oyerrun. The British press has
been optimistic for weeks that the
Russians would turn and make
stand but it now frankly comedies
that the new invasion of Russia is
serious.
The papers, however, place faith in
Russia's munitions campaign, much
the same as the British public is re-
lying upon David Lloyd Georges plan
to so equip the British Army in
France as ultimately to match the
Germans in explosives and muni-
tions, especially machine suns,

gest haul since the sinking of the
Lusitana. They sunk the British
steamer Caucasus and the Liverpool
steamer lnglefoor whose combined
tonnage exceeded that OF the Ar

The sinking Of these vessels has
convinced the admiralty that the de-

OFF, to the commanders of German
submarines. Reports have been re-

ground by crosscuts from it, but be-
fore either of these plans could be
carried out it was necessary to en-
large and retimber the old tunnel and
place it on a proper grade. This is the
work that is now being done, and 1t is
a task only a little less than driving a
new tunnel In taking up the bottom
to establish a uniform grade, the bot
tom of the old tunnel is now half way
up the face Of the new, and before the
end is reached 1t will in reality be a
new tunnel with the old one immedi-
