ARTILLERY MASSED
FOR THE ATTACK
On Riga-Kovno Line The
Invaders Have Made
No Advance.
Berlin, Aug. 26.-The Russian fortress
of -Litovsk has been captured by
the Teutonic forces. An announcement
to this effect was made to-day by the
German army headquarters staff.

| London, Aug. 26-The invaders of Rus
sia, with 0ssowetz safely in their hands
are now rapidly gaining the whole tri
angular railroad system which, with the
apex at Bialystok, also serves Grodno ant
Ossowetz. The mass of heavy artillery
freed by the fall of Ossowetz and Kov.
no is now being brought against Brest-
Litovsk and Grodno but not without diff
ficulty.
Hereafter field manoeuvring will count
more for the German armies than the
use of heavy artillery against the fort
resses. But the open field movements
may be checked by the reported deter
mination of the Russians to dig them
selves in when their line has been re-
formed back of Brest. .Litovsk No fur
ther advance has been reported along
the Riga-Koyno line, which presents
a perilous problem to the Russians, but
the Austrians and the Germans are get
ting rapidly within range of Brest-Lit-
oysk Notwithstanding the obstacles Of
fered by the swampy nature of the re-
gion. No hint has been given that the
Russians entertain any fear that their
armies will be trapped along this line.
The Near East continues TO present
the appearance of precarious balance
between the warning troops. The cen
trail powers claim diplomatic victory
in the form of Turco- Bulgarian agree
ment, while the entente allies apparent
" are bringing Serbia around to their
views that concessions are necessary to
procure Bulgaria's adhesion to the re.
formed Balkan league.

Andrew Lawson, Farm La
borer, Is at City Hospital
in Serious Condition.
JUGULAR VEIN
WAS NOT STRUCK
Left Note Which Did Not
Satisfactorily Explain
His Deed.

Andrew lawson, young Danish farm
hand, attempted to commit suicide al
the Morrison farm on the west hill this
morning by cutting his throat and wrist:
with razor. Soon after he was dis
covered lying in a pool of blood in a
room where the farm laborers sleep, he
was rushed to the City )sptal in A. w
Badger & Co.'S. ambulance. Although
there was long irregular slit in the
young mans windpipe, the razor did not
penetrate the jugular vein. The main
artery in the left wrist was severed and
there was deep cash in the right wrist.
Lawson bled profusely before he was
taken from the farm to the hospital.
This afternoon hospital attaches said his
recovery was doubtful.
Few Of those who are acquainted with
lawson can suggest any motive for his
deed. 1t il said that trouble which other
members of his family have recently ex-
perienced may have prompted him to at
tempt his own life, as it is known that
he brooded considerably over stories con-
cerning one of his near relatives. The
young man left note written in Danish
to his brother in law, one Mekkleson, but
its contents served to throw but little
light on the motives leading up to the
tragedy. lawson was "a years old and
during the greater part of three years
he had been employed by Manager c. A.
Neveau of the Morrison farm. He came
to America in 1912, struck out for Yer
mont as soon as he landed in New York,
a,I e T..
Neyeau's helpers. His conduct about the
farm was above reproach and his devo-
tion to work about the place inspired
the belief among his friends that it
would take a great deal to affect his
peace Of mind.
In the earlier part OF the summer he
was absent from the farm for time,
but returned around Aug. l, working
until last Friday. when he told Mr.. Ne
veau he was getting through. This week
he returned and was assigned his old
berth in the helpers quarters, although |
he said nothing Of returning to work. |
All OF the men arose early this morning |
md were busy with the milking when r. |
Rogers, youngster employed about the
place, informed Mr.. Neveau that some
hing had happened upstairs. He had re-
surned TO the room for some purpose or
,thep TO find lawson lying on the floor
n pool of blood. When the farm hands /
ound the fellow he was partially con-
cious. Blood was flowing from a cash
hat extended nearly from ear to ear and
rom his wrists. He was dressed in
'veralls. The razor he used is the prop
rty of young Rogers. While the men
we're employing such remedial agents as
we're at hand, Lawson fully regained con-
ciousness. nodded to Mr.. Neveau. and
pparently tried 10 talk. The cash in
lis neck prevented him from speaking.
Dr.. w. =. Lazell was summoned and
round $3.50 o'clock the ambulance ar
ived 10 take the would.be suicide to the
ospital.
Lawson has only one near relative in
'merics. His sister is the wife OF ,
ian named Mekkleson and has resided !
/ this vicinity for some time.

WARNING TO VERMONT
Not to Permit Flying Across CANADIAN
Border.

Franklin, Aug. 26--Gov. Gates has
just received communication from Sec.
OF State Lansing at Washington, trans
hitting note received from the British
ambassador in which he calls attention
TO the serious consequences which might
result from the disregarding by American
aviators of the provisions of the order
in council dated Sept. II, 1914 on the
subject of regulations regarding aerial
navigation in Canada. The British en-
bassys note-to the state department,
which was forwarded to Gov. Gates, reads
as follows;
with reference to my note No. 3i6,
of Oct 7 last, and to subsequent CORE
spondence on the subject of Canadian
regulations regarding aerial navigation,
] have the honor to inform you that |
have received a further note from the
governor general of Canada stating that
the provisions of the order in council of
Sept. II last are being disregarded by
avators crossing the borders from the
United States and flying over localities,
prohibited areas. in the prov
inces of Ontario and Quebec.
81 should feel much obliged if the at
tention of the proper authorities could
be drawn to the fact that the troops of
the dominion are under arms and there
Is danger of regrettable incidents occur
ring if the practice of flying across the
border continues. / feel sure that the
persons concerned will, in the interests
If their own safety, recognize the neces- |
'ity of strict attention to the Canadian
equations
There is no case on record of an avia
or having entered the province of Que
zee from Vermont. In many Quebec To-
alities, however, have come reports of
mysterious night flying, and in some in
tances, toy balloons have been found to
ave been the occasion of the report.
