TOO FEW PRISONERS
To Suit the German Populsce-wsrsaw
Forts Not Damaged.

Berlin, Aug. 6, via London, Aug. ~
The fallen forts Of Warsaw are virtually
undsmaged, according to information
reaching here. The defenses of Ivango.
rod, however, were destroyed by the Rus
slams before their retirement. The gar
risons Of the two fortresses appear TO
have completed the evacuation without
material loss and TO have carried away
a large part Of the stores and munitions
Of war accumulated in Warsaw Tor the
armies in Poland.
Some disappointment IL expressed
among the German populace az the fail.
ure Of the Teutonic forces 70 make an
imposing bag Of prisoners and guns in
Warsaw, but military experts here do
not share this feeling. They point out
a. the real significance Of the capture Of
the two fortresses that the Russians
have lost the fortified base Of operations
which gave them such immense advan-
tsge in the earlier movements in Poland
and that this advantage now has been
transferred TO the Germans, who can uti.
lie Il either for defensive strategy or to
facilitate a further offensive campaign
against the Russian army.

vERIcT WAS AFFIRMED.
Central Vermont Lost White Suit in
Supreme Court.

| st. Albans, Aug IA mandate from
the supreme court of the United States
has been received by George S. Stevens,
clerk of the Franklin county court, that
the judgment of the supreme court OF
Vermont has been affirmed in the case
of Mary Teresa White, Administrative OF
the estate of Enoch l.. White, VS.. the
Central Vermont Railway Co, and or.
dering execution to be issued.
The case, which was tried at the March
term of the Franklin county court In
1918, resulting in a verdict for the plain
tiff TO recover S7,l6s and afterward at
the November term of the state supreme
court resulting in an affirmanee OF the
judgment of the county court, was TAX
en- TO the supreme court OF the United
States upon writ of error assigning 36
claimed errors in the judgment.
A motion was filed by Warren r. Aus
tin OF this city. attorney for the plain
tiff, to dismiss the writ of error on the
ground that no federal question was pre-
sented and that such questions as were
raised were without merit, unsubstan
tisl and forecosed by previous decisions.
The case was assigned TO the summary
docket by the supreme court Of the
United States and counsel for both part
les. Warren r. Austin for Mrs. White,
and John w. Redmond OF Newport for
the Central Vermont Railway Co., were
notified 10 appear in the court at Wash
ington, d. C., April 10 last, which they |
did and questions on the merits raised /
were discussed.
This was the first case under the en-
ployers liability act taken from the
state Of Vermont 20 the United States
supreme court. and by the mandate men
toned final disposition is made of the
matter.
II will be recalled that Enoch i. White
was killed in a rear-end collision Of two
freight trans Jan. l2, 1912, in the early
morning about one and half miles
north Of Randolph station.
Mr.. White left a wife and two small
children and another child was born four
months after his death.

BUT ONE POINT
LEFT FOR RUSSIANS
Otherwise the Entire Front Has Been
Evacuated, and They Are Hard
Pressed at Novogeorgievsk.

London, Aug. with the exception
of the great entrenched camp OF NoVo-
georgievsk, the Russians have evacuated
the whole line of the Vistula river
| Iyangorod, the southern fortress, having
fallen into the hands of the Austro-
German army, the Russians are now
making their way eastward to the Brest-
Litovski line.
The decision of the general staff to
leave the garrison in Novogeorgievsk is
announced in Petrograd dispatches. The
object is to deprive the Germans of the
use Of railway communications and OF
the Vistula river for bringing up sup
plies for their armies.
Novogeorgieysk is situated at the
junction of the Vistula, Narew and Kkra
rivers, to the northwest of Warsaw. 1t
has two powerful bridge heads, eight
citadels and "a redoubts containing II
and l2-inch batteries. 1t is calculated
by military observers here that an army
corps can hold out there for many
months, as the camp is protected by
massive earthworks, which doubtless
have been enlarged and improved since
the Russians were compelled to begin
their retirement.
The laying of siege to Novogeorgievsk
may prove one of the most interesting
operations of the war, as it doubtless
will show whether earthworks are less
susceptible to the fire of high explosives
than are cupola forts.
OF the retiring Russian armies the
official reports say nothing. The Rus
slams, however, destroyed bridges over
the Vistula and took other means to
place obstacles in the way of their pur-
suers, while Others of their forces con-
tinue to offer stubborn resistance to the |
Germans and Austrians south and north,
who are trying to forge ring around
them.
The general opinion here is that the
Russians commenced their retirement in
time to escape this inner ring, but they |
nave yet to reckon with the wider out
lanking movement from Lomza which,
# successful would turn the Brest-
Litovsk line.
An even more serious menace seeming
Y is General Won Buelow's advance in
he Baltic provinces. While, according
% Petrograd, the Germans have been
brown back Immediately south of Riga,
hey have made further advance east
# Poniewesch toward the DvinskVilna-
'etrograd railway.
Some critics believe this move means
hat the Germans, unless they succeed in
the Russian army, intend to
make an effort to advance further into
sussia and endeavor to force Emperor
Nicholas to accept a separate peace.
With this history of previous inyasions
{ Russia before them, however, it is be-
eved in other quarters that the German
taft would hesitate at such a tremen-
GUS undertaking.

STICK TO BULL MOOSE.
George w. Perkins and 2s Others Swear
Fealty.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 7-George w.
Perkins and % other Progressives from
various parts of the state at closed
meeting here yesterday adopted reso-
lutions pledging answering fealty to
their party and urging Others who are
dissatisfied with conditiona ~ bther
parts of the United States to come into
the Progressive camp.
Harrison Deyo of Yonkers, who made
public such news as was to be given out
after the meeting, said that no confer
ence even suggested returning to the
Republican fold.
The address of Mr.. Perkins was the
feature of the meeting He insisted that
the United States should prepare for
peace by changing the tariff and also pre-
pare for war. If the war were to stop
now, he insisted, Europe would flood this
country with products OF cheap labor
and great business depression would fol-
low. The Progressive party, he conclud-
ed, is the only one that offers a plan
looking to preparing this country 10 fight
the battles of the industrial marts in
case of peace or the battles Of guns and
men in case of war.
A dozen other persons also spoke.
Their remarks, especially those touching |
on Col. Roosevelt and the future of the |
Progressive party, were greeted with APP !
plause. Mr.. Perkins speech was the
only one that was made public. While |
he and Others were speaking the cur
tanned doors of the room were closed.
The conferees decided TO hold party
roundup here some time early in Sep
tember, and also discussed candidates
from supreme court and Congress in dis.
tricts where vacancies are 10 be filled
his fall. At first il was decided not to
run a candidate in the 3lst Congressional
district, but later this proposition was
and final action deferred.
Whether a candidate will be put in the
ield in the Seth was undecided, too. The
'ense OF the meeting was that Justice
Jochrane, who probably would be nomi-
lated by the Republicans for the SUI
1reme bench in the third, judicial dis
rict, should have the Progressive in
lorsement No action was taken regard

ARE Manufacturers Ac-
cepted Compromise on
Power Charges
WHICH ACCUMULATED
DURING SUSPENSION
Other Matters Relating to
the Use of Electricity
Agreed To

A proposal regarding the use of electric
power made by the Tenney company to
the Granite Manufacturers association of
Barre was accepted at special meeting
of the manufacturers last evening. By
virtue of the conclusions reached by Pres
ident A. B. Tenney and General Manager
H. 7. Sands of Boston and the manu-
facturers' committee at a conference held
Thursday, the sum of $4,000 charged
against the manufacturers for power that
was to have been used last spring had
it not been for the industrial suspension
has been reduced to $4,000
Involved in the power company's orig
inal charge Of $4,000 is minimum rate
clause which affected many of the man
ufacturers even though their plants were
idle during period when the power was
supposed to be used. Other matters re-
lating to the use of power for granite
purposes were adjusted at
the conference Thursday and the action
of the manufacturers committee ratified
at the general meeting last night. Agree
ments between the power company and
the consumers are to be operative dur
ing period of 10 days after bills are
delivered. Conferences on the power
question began in October, 1914. Latter
ly the interests of the manufacturers
have been handled by committee con-
;isting of the association secretary, H. p.
and Alexander Duncan and Will
lam Barclay.
Several Granite Plant Rumors.
Tentative plans for the erection of st
east three new stonesheds in Barre and
possibly fourth plant this season are
n the air and in two instances the plans
ire rapidly nearing fruition. While the
nan involved in the proposed erection
# granite she'd on a site just south of
he Hoyt & Milne plant which is build
ne off Depot square desires to withhold
lis name for the time being, ii is stated
hat contract with the builder is about
oady to be signed and steps have been
AIKEN to purchase equipment for the
liant. The structure win be of the lsrg-
r type of modern granite sheds and
mple shlpplng faeillties are PROVIDED Dy
he proximity of the site to the siding
'hich the Central Vermont railroad ia
uilding for the benefit of Hoyt & Milne.
The recent withdrawal of a well known
from firm with which he
ad been associated for several years
ives rise TO the rumor that he is TO
nild a graniteshed and in certain quar-
rs the rumor has been well substan-
ated. In the north end of the city
ng established firm is negotiating with
contractor for estimates on the erec-
on Of a modern plant TO replace a stone
led that has been in service for a good
any years. Yet another Barre manu-
cturer is considering options for
Hiding site and is said TO contemplate
tion this year. Should all four pro-
cts materialize az the end Of the sea-
n Barre may boast Of six new granite
ants in year.

patches from Vienna state that the pub

Warsaw, which were intensified by the
later news of the occupation of lvango-

The ringstrasse in front Of the ministry
Of war was blocked by people cheering

According to private reports from
Berlin, the calling up of the unframed
landstrum between the ages of AZ and 45
in various towns generally is meeting
with vigorous opposition on the part Of
manufacturers, who have held several
conferences with the military authori-
ties. Until now, these classes have been
called only from the rural districts.
