APPOINTMENT FOR MISS BATES
To Become Y. p. S. c. {. Field Secre-
tary for the State of Maine.

To Become Y. p. S. c. E. Field Secre-
tary for the State of Maine.
Miss Beulah Bates. daughter of
Judge and Mrs. Edward l.. Bates, has
received the appointment as field sec
retary for the Young Peoples Socie-
ty of Christian Endeavor for the state
of Maine and will leave next week for
Lewiston, which will be her head
quarters.
Miss Bates has been state secre-
for several years and has been dele
gate to some of the large conven-
tions of the society. She has taken
an active interest in the work Of the
society, both in Vermont and else
where and has thereby ably fitted
herself for the duties of her new posi-
ton.
Wherever she has appeared either
as delegate or in her capacity as
secretary her pleasing address and
ability as a speaker have made a
marked impression.
The appointment comes to Miss
Bates entirely unexpected and with
out solicitation but is undoubtedly
due to a recent appearance before a
meeting of the society in the Pine
Tree state. Her departure from
Bennington will be regretted by a
large circle of friends and by the
young people with whom she has
been associated in church work, but
they will be pleased to know that she
is to enter more extended field of
endeavor, one for which she has
shown particular aptitude and in
which she has unaffected an except
ional interest.

Berlin, Sept. 30, (by wireless to
Tuckerton, N. J)-lmprovement of
conditions in Vienna is reported in a

1t is said that the supply of wheat
at present is sufficient, and that it is
unnecessary longer to use maize

Says That Perhaps the Gar Go To

for the German second line of defense
in Champagne the collapse of
which would acutely menace the Ger
man position in the VESTS proceed
ing with the greatest stubborness
At several points the French
troops have gained footing in the
second line and some of them even
went through, but encountering Ger
man reserves we're unable to main
tain their progress. According to the
German account these latter troops
We're captured or exterminated
The Germans, however, admit the
loss of Hill 191, to the north of Mas
siges, where the French are not far
from the railway triangle, the posses
sion of whic has been of the greatest
advantage to the Germans as one of
the lines has been used for supplying
the Argonne army.
1t is believed here that besides the
gain of ground both in Artos and
Champagne and the improved posi-
tion of the allies generally, the recent
successful operations must soon re
lieye the pressure on Russia and per.
haps prevent the Austro-Germans
from sending any large force against
Serbia
Already large reinforcements for
the Germans are arriving on the
western front and their presence has
already had the effect OF slackening
somewhat the allies offensive. But
there is a possibility of the offensive
breaking out on some section of this
front In fact, the correspondent of
the Koetnische Zeitung at German
headquarters announces that an at
tack was made east of Auberyille
which, he says, was repulsed.

London, Friday, Oct While
Field Marshal Won Hndenburg claims
to have made some progress in his
operations against Dvinsk and the
official German report mentions that
his cavalry had the best of engage

pears from Petrograd adyices that
the Germans were driven back 25
miles TO the station of Postawy from

OTHER GAME LAW CHANGES.

IT is well at this time, before the open
ing of the fall hunting season, to call at
tention to other changes in the game laws
1t is unlawful to hunt any game bird
after sunset or before sunrise, and wild
animals from one hour after sunset until
one hour before sunrise the following
morning. Thus all night hunting is
illegal.
Under the old law, hunter was allowed
to kill but five cartridges and ten ducks
in day, though he was permitted to have
in his possession at any one time ten
partridges and fifteen ducks. The new
law makes it unlawful for hunter to have
in his possession more than five partridges
or ten ducks at any one time. The law in
regard to woodcock allows the shooting
and possession of ten woodcock. This
has not been changed.
A close time OF four years has been
placed ON moose.
The digging out of fox cens has been
prohibited, and all bear traps set in the
woods must now be placed in a hut with
a notice on the outside Of the structure
informing the people that a bear trap is
on the inside.
II man wishes to become q guide, he
must first have the endorsement OF the
municipal authorities of the town or city
where he lives.

The World Against Youth.

In the June American Magazine
David Grayson, writing his story .'Hemp-
field', comments in part as follows on the
conspiracy Of the world against youth and
growth.
1.-THE world. of course, is in secret con-
spiracy against youth and growth. Any
man who dares to be young, or to grow,
or to be original, must expect to have the
world set upon him and pound him un-
mercifully-and il that doesn't finish him
of, then the world ciings desperately to
his coat tails, resolved that if it cannot
stop him entirely it will at least go along
with him and make travelling as difficult
as possible. This latter process is what a
friend Of mine ilIuminatively calls the
drag of mediocrity'.
"But this punching and pounding is
mostly good for youth and originality
good il it doesn't kiIl-for it proves the
strength of youth, tests faith and en-
thusiasm. and measures surely the power
OF originality. And as for the provoking
drag upon their coat tails, youth and
originality should reflect that this is the
only way by which mediocrity ever gets
aheadir
