Mackensen Seems About
To Be Realized
ALREADY ONE-HALF
DISTANCE COVERED
Russian Success on Dneister
Not Enough to Offset
Defeats
t.

London June II, l1:40 a. m.-Th'
latest news from the eastern front does
not indicate that anything has occurred
thus far to upset the plans of Genera
Won Mackensen, who has fixed July
for the arrival of the Austro- German
army in Lemberg, the Galicia capital
Won Mackensen's army is driving due
eastward across the river San and al
ready is half way to Lemberg. On the
Dniester river the Teutonc forces have
suffered several severe repulses but theil
check is not of sufficient moment tc
Offset the Russian losses.
In the west the allies have resumed
the offensive north of Arras. The French
claim progress there as well as south and
southwest of Souchez, east of Lorett and
in the Labyrinth district.
The Turkish forces on the Gallipoli
peninsula have taken the offensive. An
official statement from Constantinople
says that heavy losses were inflicted on
the French and British, but the announce
ment from London is to the effect that
the Turks were repulsed in an attempt
to re-capture their lost trenches.

BULGARIA'S ARMY READY.
And Force Could be More than Doubled
If Necessary

Sofia, June 1.-THE Bulgarian army
is now far better prepared for war than
it was for the Balkan war of 1912. Ii
comprises four divisions of 10000 men
ready for action, with another ten di.
visions of 100000 men of first line re-
serves, who could be modified in few
days. If necessity should arise, this
force could be more than doubled.
Bulgaria's entry into the war as the
foe of Turkey would relieve pressure on
the allies to the south. Adrianople,
which the Bulgarians were forced to hand
back to the Turks after the last Balkan
struggle, has been denuded of its arms
for use in the Dardanelles campaign.
This ought easily to fall to the Bulga-
risns, who could then cross down to
Rodosto on the sea of Marmora. This
would cut Constaninople off from Kes.
han, where the Turks have concentrated
their forces for the operations on the
Gallipoli peninsula. At least, the Turks
would be reduced to communication by
sea.
Bulgaria no longer demands Saloniki
Her claims are small compared with
those of the other Balkan nations, be-
ing confined TO the really Bulgarian
portion of Macedonia with Kavalla and
its natural outlets on the Aegean sea.

C0LLIDED NEAR DODGE BRIDGE
One Machine Temporarily Put Out Of
Commission--No One Was Hurt

! At point several yards north of the
entrance to the Barre Golf clubs course
on the Montpelier road last evening an
Automobile driven by Miss Louise Canton
and owned by her father collided with Il
Ford touring car with Cortland III. Perry
at the wheel. The presence of two or
three other ears in the highway as the
Canton and Perry autos were about to
pass each other doubtless added to the
complexity of the situation and as dark
ness had closed over the valley the glare
of many auto lamps probably heightened
the confusion.
None OF the occupants in either ear
was injured, but the Maxwell machine
driven by Miss Canton was stripped OF
one of its front wheels and had TO be
towed to this city. The fender on Mr..
Perry's car was rent asunder, but the
damage otherwise was negligible. The
Canton party was proceeding homeward
from Montpelier and Mr. Perry's car was
headed toward Dodge's bridge. Miss Can
ton, in giving her version of the accident
afterward. said she was making ample
allowance for the Perry car to pass when
she suddenly discovered that she was
about to swing onto the railroad track.
As she swerved her car back toward the
highway, il is believed, one Of the fore
wheels on the Maxwell hooked into the
hub of Ford wheel. Mr.. Perry tells of
going along short distance before his
car stopped. Neither machine was going
fast.

Former Secretary of State

Washington, D. c., June l7.-Assert.
| ing that preparedness provokes rather
than prevents war and that the upheaval
in Europe was the result of a false phil
osophy that might makes right, former
Secretary Bryan to-day, in the second
of his series of statements on "The
Causeless War;" submits arguments
against the military preparedness of the
United States and praises the course
|of President Wilson in the international
emergency.
IF any nation is without excuse for
entering into the rivalry with the bel
ligerent nations in preparation for war
it is the United States" says Bryan.
1--WE are protected on either side by
thousands of miles of ocean and this
protection is worth more to us than any
number of battleshps. The leading par
Elephants in the present war are the ma
tions that were best prepared and / fear
it would have been difficult for us to
keep out of this war if we had been as
well prepared as they. Half the energy
employed in preparing for war would
effectually prevent war if used in propa
eating the principles which make for
pe>ce. Instead of preventing wars, pre-
paredness provokes war because it is
impossible to eoerce the people into bear
ing the burdens incident TO continuous
and increasing preparation without cul
tivating hatred as if it were a natural
virtue. The doctrine that preparedness
will prevent war will not stand the test
of logic, and the confagration in Eu-
rope shows that it fails when tested by
experience"

BROKE UP CLUB.
winoosk Organization Was Furnishing
Liquor to Minors.

Burlington, June l7.--State's Attorney
Theodore +. Hopkins went to Winooski
yesterday where he conducted q prose
cution in Judge Conlin's court against
the Shamrock club, whose room on the
second foor az the Corporation building
was raided very successfully for ipoxica-
ting liquors Saturday night. A young
man under age, named Arthur Brouillard,
who. il was explained was the bartender
for the club, appeared in court as the
respondent. He was adiudged the own
er and the liquor was ordered confscat-
ed and destroyed. The prosecution for
selling liquor illegally was continued
for sentence after Bouillard had pleaded
guilty and his personal bail was taken.
The proceedings against this club
were taken because Of numerous com
plants that liquor was being dispersed
in the club rooms and that larger part
of the membership consisted of BOYS
under age. II appeared from Bouillsrd's
story that he acted in the capacity of
bartender and ordered the booze. The
average weekly consumption was six
cases OF beer and a gallon Of whiskey.
The club seemed to do business only on
Saturday nights and Sundays. After
the liquor had been ordered, Bouillard
said. he turned il over TO the treasurer
Of the club. who was Of age. The dues
Of the club was 80 cents a year. but
il appeared that payments were not
regular and that the expenses Of the
club were borne from what profit there
was from the sale Of liquor The club
did not seen TO have any definite OBJ
iect in view beyond a social time Satur-
day night and Sunday. The club was
ordered 20 disband.
