DIED ON AUTO TOUR.


Burlington. Aug 6.-Colonel Charles
Allen Converse OF Philadelphia, former
resident OF Burlington, died at 7:4j
o'clock last evening of heart disease
at the residence OF his sister, Miss
Helen G. Converse, at 272 Church street
Colonel Converse had been associated
with the Baldwin Locomotive works in
Philadelphia since 1897, as secretary.
He was unmarried and is survived by
two sisters, Miss Helen G. Converse of
this city and Mrs. G.. +. Simpson of
North Adams, Mass; a nephew, John
w. Converse of Philadelphia, and four
nieces, Miss Mary Converse of Phila-
delphia, Mrs. Warren Thorpe and Mrs.
Duane Mattison OF New York City and
Mrs. Edgar Leayenworth OF Detroit,
Mich.
Colonel Converse, who had been suf-
ferer from heart disease for the past
year, arrived in Burlington two weeks
ago while on an automobile trip to
Maine. accompanied by his sister, Mrs.
IG. #. Simpson, and his niece, Miss Mary
Converse. The trip proved too fatigu-
ing for him and he was taken seriously
i'll the day after his arrival, his con-
dition gradually growing worse until
the end came.
Charles Allen Converse was born in
Burlington May IL, ls47, the second son
of the Rev. John Kendrick and Sarah
Allen Converse. He prepared for col
lege at the Burlington high school, and
entered the University of Vermont in
1865, receiving the degree of A., B. in
1869.
During Colonel Conyerse's residence in
Burlington and while serving as teller of
the First National bank news of the
raid by Confederates upon st. Albans
was received and Colonel Converse was
one OF the first to volunteer to go to st.
Adams to render assistance. He also
served in the famous Ransom Guard
company of st. Albans, the "crack"
military company of the state. Colonel
Converse was an aide-de- camp on the
military staff of the governor of Yer
mont in 1896, 1897 and 1898, and parti-
cipated in that capacity in the inaugur-
alton ceremonies of President Mckinley
and in the dedication OF the Grant mon
ument in New York City. He also
served as side-de-camp on the staff of
General Miles in the Philadelphia peace
jubilee of 1898 and at the dedication
Of the Grant monument in Philadelphia
in 1899.
Among the most important clubs of
which Colonel Converse was member
are Lafayette Commandery, No. g.,
Knights Templar, tha Art and Union
League clubs of Philadelphia, the His
torical and Genealogical societies Of
Philadelphia and the Transatlantic So
ciety of America. He was also mem
Der of the Pennsylvania and Vermont
society of Sons of the Revolution and
of the Pennsylvania and Vermont socie-
ties of Colonial Wars. Colonel Converse
was member of the Bryn Mawr (Pa.l
Presbyterian church.

WARSAW REFUGEES IN MOSCOW.
Hundreds Are Arriving There Daily,
Most of Them Penniless.

Moscow, Aug. 6.-Via Petrograd
and London, p. m.--Hundreds OF ref
ugees from Warsaw are arriving here
daily. Most of them, without money
or means Of sustenance, are seeking
aid at the American consulate where
an enlarged staff is attempting to sup
ply temporary assistance pending the
organization OF Russian relief COM
mission.
The refugees state that although the
population of the Polish capital was
convinced that the Germans ultimately
would occupy the city a majority OF
the citizens elected to remain, only
approximately Is per cent. to date hav-
ing left the city.
This accounts for the comparative
order and the absence of panic which
accompanied the exodus.
When German occupation first
seemed imminent the government IS
sued an order that third-class tickets
to any point in the interior of Russia
should be given free to all citizens de-
string to depart. The only condition
attached by the authorities was that
residents SO leaving would not be al
lowed to return without a special per-
NIT.
Those choosing the alternative of de-
parture foresaw that Warsaw would be
visited with conditions similar to those
imposed on LODI and that the town
would be cut off from the interior of
Russia, when all provisions were OBJ
tainable, and that Warsaw would suf-
fer from famine.
The refugees contrast the orderly and
systematic abandonment of the city
with the panic caused by the first Ger
man approach last October, when an
attempt of the city officials, institu-
tions and private citizens all TO bolt
at once resulted in indeseribable confu-
sion.
The rttirement this time was so long ex-
pected and so systematically executed
that to an on-looker it would seem to
be nothing more than the ordinary sum-
mer exodus. Extra trains had been
provided, so that the travelling condi-
tions differed little from normal
An unusual feature of the present
abandonment of the city was the fact
that provision tickets We're made un-
necessary. The bulk of the refugees
Travelled on foot or with their wagons
along the highways. Most of the refu-
gees were unable to proceed southward
and to Kiev and, finding the railway
to wilma monopolized for military pur-
poses, they took the line to the east,
temporarily crowding Moscow, Vladova
and Brest-L -Litoyska. Many OF these
lost their homes in the outlying por-
tions of Warsaw, the destruction OF
which became a military necessity.
All the territory Immediately west of
Warsaw, containing large factories, Po-
lish estates and peasant dwellings now
presents blsckened and uninhabitablc
areas.
Care had been taken that no subur-
ban factories should fall into the hands
of the Germans.
Chief among those destroyed was the
Million dollar sugar factory belonging
TO a Polish lawyer. Eugene Kuruluk,
with more than 1000 tons of sugar.
The factories in the city itself, al
though abandoned, had not vet been de-
stroyed when the refugees left the cap
itsl.

London. Aug. 6.-The Standard this
morning declares that the fall Of War

not likely to have a permanent influence
on the course Of events. Speaking OF
the enormous sacrifices Of the Germanic
allies, IL says that the lost leeions can
not be replaced and meanwhile there Is
formidable work for the survivors and
that unless a real decision is obtained by
the destruction or forced surrender Of the

London, Aug. 6, 1910 p. m.-W1th the
great Russian fortresses of Warsaw and
Ivangorod captured and the fall OF Riga,
capital of the Baltic provinces, immi-
nent. the Austro-German onslaught has
reached its high tide in the east, and the
next step will be the German emperor's
triumphant entry into the Polish capital.
That event is likely soon to be followed
by the pronouncement of united and
semi-autonomou Poland, embracing not
only the territory wrested from the Rus
SLAMS, but the Austrian crown land OF
Galicia.
In the meantime, the Russian armies
are fighting their way backward toward
Russia proper, inaicting blows to the IN
vaders wherever possible. The position
Of the army of Grand Duke Nicholas is
now a matter of solicitude, as the occu-
nation of Warsaw is believed to be the
prelude to the greater purpose of en-
veloping the retreating forces.
Petrograd reports show that the grand
duke has retired to the right bank of the
vistula, both at Warsaw and Ivangorod,
destroying bridges at both points and
contesting the German advance across the
river.
Back of the Russians is the vast mo-
rass of central Poland, with few railways
and primitive roads, making virtually
impossible a quick movement of guns
and supplies, while back of Warsaw the
only fortress available as rallying point
for the Russians is Brest-Litovsk.
Thus the Russians are menaced by the
armies of both General Won Buelow and
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. What
the Germans will do next in military
way, after attempting to complete their
enveloping movement is matter of
much speculation.
