London, Oct. 2.-The seventh day
OF the great allied offensive on the
Western front finds the allies sweep

obtainable, though the Berlin news
papers report the allies suffered heav-
lily, especially around Loos.
Though the most severe fighting

of Vimy and west and southwest of
Lens, the most impressive gains have
been made by the French in the
Champagne.
Paris dispatches assert that the
French left is now within two miles of
the Bazancourt-Challeran railway
and that French gunners have render
ed the railroad useless to the Ger
mans.

MARBLES OF VERMONT.
They surpass the Product of Italy's
Famous Quarries.

The greatest marble producing indus
try in the world is no longer to be
found in the famous Carrara district
of Italy, but in Vermont. where one OF
the richest veins in the world stretches
IN an irregular line across the state.
So great is the production of marble
in this section that the inhabitants
have lost much of their appreciation
of its value and use it for such humble
and utilitarian purposes as paving. un-
derpinILng for barns. hitching posts,
stepping stones and drinking troughs
for horses This vein is about fifty
seven miles long, from 1900 10 ZOO
feet in width and runs from $40 to
$50 feet in depth. and from it is being
taken in enormous quantities white
marble that is equal to the finest ltai
ian marble as well az an endless va
riety of blue, yellow, green and jet
black marbles.
For quarrying and finishing the mar
ble the most up TO date methods and
equipment are used, no part of the
work being done BY hand that can
possibly be done by machinery Hand
methods of drilling, still in vogue in
Italy, have been entirely superseded
by power driven drills and channeling
machines, The blocks as they come
from the quarry are handled by der.
ricks and are conveyed in most cases
10y an inclined railway or ropeway
to the mills, where they are sawed and
shaped by power driven machines, only
the last delicate stage of polishing
being done by hand. Popular Me

French was able to communicate dir

the base headquarters at st. Omer,

From man who was in close

visit to England the following details
are learned: General French arriv-
ed at Folkestone wearing the over
coat and rather soiled cap of an en-
listed man. lie made no attempt to
disguise himself otherwise and on the
Channel boat attracted no notice
what ever. At f'clkestone he was
met by Lord Kitchener and both pro-
ceeded by motor to Walmer Castle,
near Deal. where Premier Asquith re-
sides. There a council of war was
held. attended also by the leaders of

Sir John then came 10 London,
where he attended councils the next
two days. the King being present on
one occasion His nights were spent
in his own home, where hourly mes

On landing at Calais. however,
General French appeared in his full
