STATE NEWS

Jarvis C. Harris, the veteran bee
hunter of Barre, is keeping up with
his record of past so years by hunt
ing out his usual quota of swarms
this fall. In a half-century, Mr.. Har-
ris has located elsewhere from two to
five bee trees every fall, coming home
each time with a good supply of hon
ey. Only few days ago he struck
out from the main highway near
Jones Bros. plant at 9 O'Clock in the
morning and had a bee tree located
within an hour of noon. There are
few men of Mr.. Harris age who could
hope to be more active in the pursuit
of wild bees He is veteran of the
Civil war and was one of the suryiv-
ors who attended the reunion of Com
Ipany G., 9Th Vermont regiment at
Northfield.

WAR BONDS SELL WELL
One investor Asks for Block O.
Thirty Millions

New York, Oct. II. p, Morgan &
c., were deluged yesterday with appli
cations from banks and individuals
eager to participate in underwriting
the Anglo-Frenah $500,000,O00 loan.
At the close of the day Mr.. Morgan
said the aggregate mas not been com
puted and he was not prepared to
say when the syndicate would be clos
cd.
The flood of applications confirmed
members OF the syndicate in the be-
lief that the underwriting of the huge
credit would be found to be oversub-
scribed when all the applications
were in. The London Times says
that this is the largest exterior loan
ever f1oated in this country.
Under rules adopted by the syndi-
cate managers yesterday investors
may obtain the per cent. joint notes
on a basis that will yield about 5S5
per cent, and large demand from
the investing public is expected.
1t was learned that single sub
scription from one of the richest men
in the United States had been receiv-
ed for more than S30.000000 of the is
sue. Members of the Morgan firm.
beyond admitting the fact, would not
discuss this subscription or give
any hint as the identity of the man
making it. One banker reported on
Wednesday that he knew of investors
who had pledged themselves to take
more than 100000, 900.

ROOSEVELT SHOT
MOOSE TO SAVE
HIS OWN LIFE
Colonel Explains Violation Of Game
Laws of Canada
HUNTER CHARGED BY Big BULL
Animal Refused to Be Scared OFF and
Colonel Shot it
Twice.

Quebec, Oct. 3.-How Colonel
Roosevelt had to break the game
laws of Quebec on his recent visit
here and kill an extra moose in order
to save his own life, is told in an af-
fidayit sworn to by himself and his
two guides before Notary Panet of
St Raymond and deposited with the
fish and game branch in the local
parliament buildings.
According to the statements the
Colonel, who was the guest of the
Tourili club, had already killed the
one moose allowed him by law and
was returning with his two guides,
Beebe Lorette and Joe Lefevre, in
canoe when they sighted another
moose at some distance.
The way home lay through a small
stream connecting two lakes. and
shortly before they came to this the
moose disappeared into the bush. AS
the canoe was half way down the
stream, the animal appeared in front
of it. The water was only about a
foot deep and the moose began it's
charge at about thirty feet distant.
Roosevelt fired over its head, but
the moose kept on, then the former
president, realizing, as he said after
ward. it was either his life or that of
the angry beast, fired again and
struck the latter in the chest at about
eighteen feet away. il slowed up
for moment but came on again.
This time the big game hunter gave
it shot through the head which
brought il down.

AND MUD
Anglo French Claim to Hold All
Ground Gained Last Week
RUSSIAN 0FFENSE SLACKENING
Evidence of Division of German
Forces to Take Part in Balkan
Campaign.
RUSSIAN OFfENSE SLACKENING

London, Oct. 3.-Rain and the con-
sequent mud have prevented the An
glo-French armies from continuing
their fun offensive in Artois. Fight
ing of stubborn nature, however, is
still going on in that region, both
sides endeavoring to secure vantage
points Success here, as in Cham
payne, is apparently varying, al
though the Allies are holding virtual
iy all the ground they gained in last
weeks thrust.
That other similar thrusts will
take place before long is the settled
conviction of military writer's, who
see in the repeated commandments OF
the German positions on the Belgian
coast by British ships and mig French
guns, and air raids over the German
lines evidence of another storm brew
ing. Naturally it will take some
days to prepare, as the guns which
now play such Il large part in the
campaign have to be brought up, and
this is no easy matter after the heavy
rains, particularly in the low coun-
tries of Flanders and Artois.

FOR KILLING SONG BIRDS
EiIar Givonne of Readsboro Fined
$25 and Costs.

$2o and Costs.
County Game Warden E. s. Hig-
gins made a trip to Readsboro Satur-
day where with the assistance of
Deputy Warden William Seegar he
arrested Dilar Givonne, who was TAX
en- before a local justice and fined $25
and costs of $3.50 for shooting song
birds and hunting without license.
When found in the woods Givonne
was accompanied by another man
who escaped but left portion of his
trousers while going through barb
wire fence.
The two men were using 22-calibre
rifles and cartridges loaded with fine
birdshot. The rifles make but little
noise and the fine shot does not tear
the bodies of the small birds. The
officers secured one of the rifles and
some OF the cartridges.

HEsPERiAN HIT NINE
Experts Conclude That Ship Was Not
Torpedoed

Washington. Oct. s3-Naval Off
GERS assigned to examine pieces of
metal, which were said to have been
found aboard the Allan liner Hesper-
ian before she sank off the Irish
coast on Sept. 4. are practically CON
vinced that the vessel was wrecked
by mine. Their findings will be
submitted to Secretary Daniels this
week.
While there never has been for
NAL announcement on the subject,
dispatches from London have credit
ed the British admiralty with the be-
lief that the Hesperian was torpedo
ed without warning by German sub
marine. The captain of the vessel
expressed this opinion and submitted
the metal fragments which he con-
tended were pieces of torpedo.
Some of the pieces were submitted to
the naval attache at the American
Embassy at London, who turned
them over to Ambassador Page to be
forwarded to the State Department
along with the affidavits of the otfic-
ers and passengers of the Hesperian.

Petrograd, via London, Oct 3-The
semi-oficial news agency says the
Russian minister has been ordered to
leave Sofia unless within twenty-four
hours the Bulgarian government open
ly breaks with Austria and Germany
and sends away the Austrian and Ter
man military officers now in Bulgaria.
The news agency gives the following
note which the minister at Sofia has
been ordered to hand to NJ. Radoslav,
off, the Bulgarian premier:
The events which are taking place
in Bulgaria at this moment give evi-
dence of definite decision of King
Ferdinand's government to place the
fate of its country in the hands of
Germany.
''The presence of German and AUS
trian officers at the ministry of war
and on the staff Of The army, the CON
centration of troops in the zone bord-
ering Serbia, and the extensive iinan-
cial support accepted from our en-
emies by the Sofia cabinet no longer
leave any doubt as to the object of
the military preparations of Bulgaria.
THE powers of the entente, who
have at heart the realization of the
aspirations of the Bulgarian people.
have on many occasions warned NJ.
Radoslavoff that any hostile act
against Serbia would be considered
as directed against themselves. The
assurances given by the head of the
Bulgarian cabinet in reply to these
warnings are contradicted by the
facts.
The representative of Russia,
which is bound to Bulgaria by the i'm
perishable memory OF her liberation
from the Turkish yoke, cannot sane
tion by his presence preparations for
fralicidal aggression against Slav
and allied people The Russian min
lister, therefore, has received orders
to leave Bulgaria with I'll the STATS
of the legation and consulates if the
Bulgarian government does not with
in twenty-four hours openly break
with the enemies of the Slav cause
and of Russia, and does not at once
send away officers belonging to ar
mics of states which are at war with
the powers of the entente

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
HELD BIG RALLY
YESTERDAY
Methodist School Won Palm For
the Best Showing
BAPTIST SCHOOL WAS SECOND
Three Schools Had Attendance of
Nearly a Thousand. Programs
Were Much the Same.

The Rally Day exercises in the
| Methodist, Baptist and Second Con-
gregational Sunday schools Sunday
were well attended and interesting
programs, similar in many respects,
were carried out. The weather,
| though somewhat dubious, did not
| keep many at home, evidenced by the
well filled rooms.
The chain scheme seems to have
| been good hit, for young and old
! alike became very much interested
| in the bringing in of the links and
| the forging of the big chain in the
presence of the scholars and visitors
| The music had been specially prepar-
ed and included full-fedged orches-
tras and songs especially selected
and adapted for the occasion. Large
blocks, looking like granite, were set
up on the platforms, representing the
tasks of the school for the coming
year, study, offerings, prayer and
service. Brief remarks were made
in each of the schools on these tasks,
as the blocks were piled up in sight
of every one.
A great source of satisfaction was
the large number of visitors, includ-
ing many persons who had graduated
ont of the Sunday school years ago,
some of whom had children among
the enrolled scholars. The attend
ance was even larger than was ex-
pected, and the Methodist school ap-
pears to have headed the list. AS
near as can be aseertained at this
writing, that school had an atten-
dance of about $50, the Baptists
about 500, and the Second Congrega-
tional 275.
On account Of the way in which
the audience packed the chapel of
the last mentioned school, it was inn
possible to make an exact count of
the number in attendance, particular
" as many left the room before any
count was attempted. However, the
Rally Day contest was an unqualified
success and made good feeling
throughout the schools participating.
Some persons. much interested, have
suggested that next year each school
make its own program and work by
any honorable method to win out IN
the contest.
Paliv Nav
Once more we meet in our accustom-
ed places,
'Tis Rally Day;
We greet the old and welcome newer
faces,
On Rally Day
With JOY we come to our respective
classes,
All so dear,
And men and women children, lads,
and lassies.
Gather here.
The golden sun of Autumn shines
above us,
The world is fair;
A tender veil of haze with dreamy
softness
Fills the air.
The stacks of corn like bronzed and
grizzled soldiers
Stand in line;
And Ger our heads the grapes in
purple clusters
Hang on the vine
The world about us speaks of God the
Father
And his love,
The beauties of the sky and tree and
flower
His wisdom prove.
And here we come for worship and for
study
Each Sabbath day.
To learn of him and render loving
service,
AS best we may.
A golden chain of precious links
we've made here,
From happy hearts,
In love the links are welded, and its
power
Makes strong all parts
Another year of Sunday school en-
deavor
Is now begun;
Well try to make it just the best
year ever
Before it's done.

London, Oct. 3.-The speed of op-
erations and the intensity and yigor
of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg' s
offensive in western Russia is slack
ening. The effect of the withdrawal
OF troops for the contemplated Balk-
an campaign and of others for the
strengthening of the hard pressed
Teuton armies in the west is becom-
ing more and more noticeable.
The German commander in chief
reports only insignificant progress in
the encircling movement around
Dvinsk. Latest official advices from
Petrograd claim the recapture of
Postavy, on the important supply line
leading from Novoswensyany to Bere-
switsch, half way between Wilma and
Dvinsk.
The German southern armies, that
of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, and the
Austro-German forces in Volhynia
and along the Galician border line,
are reported by Berlin to have made
substantial progress. Petrograd, on
the other hand, in its latest Official re
port, asserts the Russians made con
siderable headway in Galicia
Altogether, no essential change is
reported from ethed side Dvinsk
and Pinsk continue to be the ardent
ly coveted immediate objective of the
Teutons and both places are equally
stubbornly defended mostly by Rus
sian rear guards. In the southwest
the Germans strenuously endeavor tc
approach Royno while the Russians
seem to be holding their ground.

London, Oct 3-The Russian minis

the central powers and dismiss the
Austro-German officers who recently
arrived IN that country to direct the

The other powers Of the quadruble

demand, and so Bulgaria must within
few hours decide on continued neu-
tralty or be considered definitely
committed to the central powers.

last few days from the Balkans it is
