FRENCH BEARING
BRUNT OF FIGHT.
Greatest Activity at Their Section of the Allies
Lne-More Progress Reported England Now
Has Over 100000 Men on Continent with
More in Training for Service There

LONDON, Oct. /. - The French arc
bearing the brunt of the fighting now
in progress on the western front. They
are hammering at the second German
line in Champagne in the direction
of the Grand Pre- railway and at the
same time dropping bombs on the
lines and stations to prevent the Ger
mans from bringing up reinforeements.
Absence of news from the British
front apparently indicates that these
forces are occupied with consolidating
their positions in the strip of territory
recently won. The British forces now
in France are estimated at a round
million men, which will be increased
by 100000.
Daily lengthening of the obituary
columns of the London newspapers is
beginning to measure the price paid by
the British for the recent offensive.

MISS MAcKAYE CLEVER ACTRESS.
Performance of Peg O. My Herat Was
Thoroughly Enjoyable.

A first rate company presented Peg
O. My Heart in the Auditorium last
evening and good sized audience was
thoroughly satisfied with everything
connected with the performance. This
comedy by J. Hartley Manners, pro-
duced by Oliver Morosco, has just con-
cluded a run of nearly two years in
New York, is clean and wholesome, and
running through it is a delightful
strain of Irish-American humor and a
touch of pathos which are very strong
in their appeal. Miss Dorothy Mac
kaye, who played the part of Peg,
showed herself to be remarkably
clever little actress, keeping the audi
ence continuously in laughter except
when she appealed to their tender ma
lures, and in those moments she moved
many to tears. The supporting cast
was competent in every way, and alto
gether the evening was very enjoyable.

Irrepressible James.
(Rutland Herald.)

The announcement that james r.
Hooker, once of Brattleboro, who took
a front rank position in Republican
politics soon after going to Schenecta-
dy. n. Y. a few years ago and who was
elected controller of that city, has been
defeated for denomination as member
of the Republican state committee, need
not be taken as indicating that he IS
to be passed to the discard. . i'm IS
too versatile to be put aside with such
little thing as a political throw
down. Even business reyerses do not
blot the optimism of the former Yer
monter and one need not be surprised
to hear that Hooker has bored his way
into some other position which will
give him, for time at least, grip on
the ladder which leads to fame.

BARBER WINS IN
RIGHT OF WAY CASE
Chancellor Finds that Cutler & Co
Have No Record Title-Case May
Go to Supreme Court.

In the suit of Cutler & Co., owners
of the Valley Grain Co., against H G.
Barber, tried recently in the county
clerks office before f. NJ. Butler as
chancellor, the chancellor has filed his
findings of fact.
The Valley Grain Co. claimed right
Of way by record title over the west
side of the Ray and Judge properties
near the corner of Main and Fiat
streets, which are owned by Attorney
General II. G. Barber. The defendant
claimed there was no right of way and
the chancellor finds that there was no
record title of such right of way and
that the orator has none.
To these findings Cutler & Co. have
taken 16 exceptions, claiming there is
no evidence to warrant the findings.
On these exceptions the case probably
will be taken to the supreme court.
