u. s. IN DARK ON NEW
BLOCKADE, TO ASK FOR
DETAILS; FLEETS HALT
Summary
OF THE
War News

The French and German official
communications today agreed that
violent fighting is under way in
the Champagne region where the
allies began an attack several days
ago. and that the losses have been
unusually heavy. Berlin an
nounces that new French attacks
made with strong forces, were re-
PEELED in most cases and that the
French losses were enormous.
The Paris statement claims pro-
gress for the allies at several
points and asserts that the Ger
mans suffered very heavily. APP
parent1y the battle is the largest
and most severely contested of
any along the western front since
the engagement at Soissons.A
Minor battles have occurred in
the Vosges mad a report from the
British commander, Sir John
French says that ground has been
gained by his army but operations
In. general along the line are un-
important except in Champagne.
In Russian Poland the fighting
apparently has become less in
tense following the German re-
verse at Przasnysz although the
Russians assert that they are con-
ducting a general offensive move
nent. The German official report
states that the Russian attacks at
several points near the Prussian
border have failed.
Washington is consideringe to-
day what step shall be taken by
this country following the an
nouncement by the British and
French governments that they
would attempt to scut off trade
to and from Germany.
Great Britain's reply to the
American proposals respecting
this general situation, however,
is yet to be received Germany
has accepted the proposals in the
Tnadns In a reply which probably
VIII be made public in Berlin to-
day.
The attack of the ANGLO
French deet on the DardaneIIes
has been interrupted by unfavor-
able weather but q despatch
from Athens states that before
the operations were suspended
the two Turkish forts at the mar
rowest part Of the straits had
been silenced- It is stated that
the Turkish army nassed on the
peninsula for defense of Con-
stantinople consists of 100000
men.
Or the hand operations, the
most important at present un-
der way are along the East
Prussian frontier in northern
Poland and in Champagne, on the
western front CONCERNING the
latter engagement French and
German reports disagree sharp
~. Berlin states that the allies
have been driven back while
Paris cladnns that the French
have repulsed strong German
counter attacks and gained
more ground.
In Poland the Russians are on
the offensive along the entire
front. In the most important
operations, around Przasnysz the
Germans are said to have been
defeated decisiveIy and forced
back across the border.

The exact number OF ballots cast
since the caucus began is disputed.
According to announcement today in
the caucus, Mr.. Gaylord won the
227th while others who have kept
track of the ballots claimed that 2S2
regular and 1 irregular had been
cast This establishes record prob
ably in the number of ballots cast
in any contest in the state, the near
est approach to it being in the Sena-
toriaI convention in the 18th district
in October, 1912 when Judge E. r.
Kelsey, of Branford, was nominated
for Senator on the 225th roll call
Mr. Gaylord will succeed James r.
CIoonan, of Meriden, the Democratic
commissioner, who was appointed by
Governor Baldwin to fill a vacancy
through failure of the 1913 1egisla-
ture to elect a successor to John
Wilkinson, of Orange. Mr.. Bron-
son, of Waterbury, in the caucus,
moved that the nomination be made
unanimous and it was so voted.
In the Senate a resolution was
adopted eIecting Mr.. Gaylord for the
short term to succeed James +. C1oo-
nan of Meriden, who was a recess
appeintee.

Down State Crop Reports

Farmers who grow tomatoes for
the canning factories down State
are much encouraged by the out
look for a bumper crop of that
vegetable. Early in the season
during the cold nights, the cut
worm was busy, and many patches
were so badly hit by this pest that ,
the owners had to practically re-
plant the entire field. This con-
tinued for weeks, but with the
warmer weather the trouble stop
ped. The farmers state that the
plants later set are doing much
better than they had been led to
hope for, and that every prospect
is for a good yield. The crop will
necessarily be a little later than
usual, so they state.
Sweet potato growers say the
yield this season will equal that of
last year in the Milford section,
and in many instances they even
make claims for a larger yield.
The acreage this year is little
larger than last season.
Early corn looks better at the
present time than it has for years
at this season of the year and
growers state that they have every
reason to expect bumper crop Of
that grain.
Those farmers in lower Della
ware who have fields Of alfalfa are
wearing smiles. The scarlet clover
crop in Delaware this year was a
decided failure, and for that rea-
son the supply this coming fall
and winter will be the smallest in
years. The alfalfa crop, however,
has been the best in years, many
of the growers already having
saved two crops of that hay. They
expect to have three more crops
from the same fields before the
season closes. Many of the alfal-
ia growers have refused 500 ton
for the crop in the field, and they
state that the price will not be
less than $25 before the season
fairly starts.

| do not pretend to tell what all

ties and horrors of slavery. | ask
for light and air for the souls of

those limbs-release that brain!

Trade Excursion

The Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce is arranging another
big automobile trade excursion to
visit towns in New Castle county,
Del, and Cecil county, Maryland,
on Thursday, July 29. Similar ex-
cursions in previous years have
always proven tremendous sue
cesses and the Wilmington trade
boosters have always been well
coined royalty by residents of the
sections they visit. Inasmuch as
the route for the coming excursion
is in territory Immediately adja-
cent to Wilmington and through
sections which are already doing
considerable trading with Will
mington it is to be expected that
the outing will prove more enjoy
able and profitable than any
given before. The route for the
trip includes the following places: ::
New Castle, Delaware City, Fort
du Pont, st. Georges, Odessa, Mid
dletown, Mt. Pleasant, St. Angus
tine, Chesapeake City, Elkton and
Newark. Fully so automobiles
are expected in line.
Automobile trade excursions
have proved an effective means of
having the Wilmington business
men become acquainted with the
people of the towns they visit and
have laid the foundations for bus
mess relations which proved pro-
fitable for both sections. Informal
receptions will be held in the
towns where stops are made by the
town officials and members of the
local trade organizations.
'If you can't get it at home, buy
it in Wilmington" is the slogan
that the Chamber of Commerce has
adopted in its campaign of trade

extension. This attitude shows
that while Wilmington merchants
are trying to increase their trade
they have no desire to do so at the
expense of the local town mer-
chants. Judging from the advance
plans the July 10Th excursion will
surpass any given before by the
Wilmington business men.
According to schedule, the party

The chance to get good living is as
favorable in Vermont as anywhere, city
or country. Hear Mr. Vail:
"In Vermont one can live as easily
and cheaply as in any other country,
except where one can live like primitive
man or an animal on the fruits and roots
that grow naturally, and need no other
covering than that which nature gave
him. But if one wants to live as civil
lied, intelligent man should, on any
scale great or small, it can be done in
Vermont with as little effort as in any
place in the world "
Lastly on education. 1t was no
narrow minded man, who himself a
patron of vocational school and not a
college graduate could utter this sound
sense:
Education is the first necessity to
accomplishment, not only education in
the particular vocation through or by
which the livelihood is gained, but that
foundation, that education in the ele-
mentary studies which is necessary to
build upon if one wants to work intelli-
gently or wants culture and intellectual
enjoyment. That is, one must first
learn to read understandngly, spell anC
use the language correctly and clearly,
arithmetic enough to solve all the daily
problems that come in the ordinary life,
geography enough to know where the
other parts of ones own country and OF
the world are-in other words a gooC
old-fashioned academy education. Thi:
| is fundamental necessity.
"If in addition one can add to this
foundation of common school and AGA
demic education the preparation thai
comes from college course, so much
the better. The only handicap to thu
college graduate upon entering indus
trial or commercial pursuits is that d
age. If false pride is set aside the col
lege education is of great benefit. |
brings into operation the assimilatet
knowledge and experience in study
The few years spent in college in &C
quring knowledge and the facility o
learning are quickly made up. Witt
the same ability and energy the gradu
ate goes faster and as rule goes nue.
farther.

HONORS FOR CHARLES w.
MULCAHY. 'l2.

Many friends of Charles w. Mulcahy,
who graduated from Middlebury College
in 1912, will be pleased to read of the
high distinction he has won at the Bos-
ton University Law School The Bur
lington Free Press yesterday contained
the following special from Boston:
The highest general average work
for the Boston University Law School
course obtained by any student in the
last ten years has been achieved by
Charles William Mulcahy of Hardwick,
VT, it was announced today by Dean
Homer Albers.
''Mr. Mulcahy's mark was 94.5. He
completed the three years coui Sc in two
years, and in that period succeeded last
December in passing the examination
admitting him to practice in Massachu-
sets.
Also he is the winner of the Ordro-
nauX prize of S75, devised from fund
of $4,000 bequeathed by DR.. John Ordro-
nauX, former lecturer at the school
an award not only for examination
marks but also for work done in class
and court rooms, and for general char
acter and conduct.
I'm several courses Mr. Mulcahy
earned the mark of 100. The most
noteworthy of these was Conflict of
Laws, wherein no student was ever
before in the history of the school known
to reach such grade.
"Ihe only times this Vermont boy ;
record has ever been surpassed was by
two men now teaching at the school
Prof. Frank l.. Simpson in 1898 and
Prof. Chandler M. Wood in 1905. The
general average of each was 95.5.
Mr. Mulcahy was born in johnson.
Vt, in 1891, the son of Mrs. Carrie
Mulcahy. For the last fifteen years
Hardwick, where he is a member of
Bronson Council. X. of c., has been
his home.
After four years at Middlebury Col
lege he was graduated with honors in
1912. In his junior year he was presi-
dent of his class. For three years he
was third baseman and an outfelder
on the base ball nine. Also he was
member of the Chi Psi fraternity.
For one year after graduation he
