vERDUN TROOPS MOVED.
Are Now Defending German Line On
Somme Front,

London, JtIly 25--At Pozieres the Aus.
tralians are still fighting furicusly with
the Germans for possession of the vii
lage and the head of the road leading
from it to Bapaume, and the greater
part of the village is now reported to
be in their hands. There has been a
diminution in the vicious fighting which
began Saturday night along the British
front from Thiepval to Guillemont.
A condition of comparative calm pre-
walls south of the Somme along the
French line, where the only fighting re-
ported-and that minor engagement
resulted in the French capturing Ger
man battery south of Estress. Eastward,
in the Verdun region, the French have
occupied a German redoubt west of
Thiaumont, taking with it five machine
guns and two score of prisoners.
Berlin still asserts that the only re-
suit of the British attack Sunday along
the Thiepval- line was the
penetration of a few houses in the viii
lsge of Pozieres, and that the Austral-
ians obtained these only after having
suffered sangainary losses.
That German troops have been re-
moved from the Verdun front for the
SOmne operations is apparent from the
German statement that Brandenburg
grenadiers ~of Dousumont fame defeat
ed the British in the aght Sunday at
LorsguevaL

DR.. HARRIS DYING
Victim of Murderous Assault Can Live
But a Short Time.

Boston, July 25-Dr. Wilfred +. Har.
ris, president of the Massachusetts Col
| lege of Osteopathy, who was shot at his
office in the Hotel Westminster Tuesday,
| by Dr. Eldridge de L. Atwood of Woburn,
dition at the City hospital last evening.
His death was believed to be only Il
matter of hours.
In the event of DR.. Harris death, the
police of station l6 will Immediately ap-
ply for warrant on charge of murder
against Dr. Atwood, who is now held
at the Charles street jail in $4,000 bail,
on charge of assault with a loaded re-
volver with intent to kill. He was ar
raigned on the charge last week and the
case continued for a hearing next Fri
day.
DIR. Harris condition, which had hith-
erto remained surprisingly good, took a
decided turn for the worse early yester-
day morning and he grew steadily weak
er throughout the day. That he has
lived so long after the murderous as
sault made upon him is undoubtedly due
to his strong constitution and amazing
vitality.
The news of DR.. Harris approaching
death has intensified the interest in the
mystery which still surrounds the other
side of the double tragedy, the death of
DR.. Celia Paine Adams, the Brookline
osteopathist and fiancee of DIR. Atwood,
whose alleged relations with DIR. Harris
were, according TO Atwood's confession,
the reason for his attack upon his for
mer teacher.

SIX MORE MEN ARE
REPORTED DYING
Gang of Men Were Digging
Five Miles from Shore of
Lake Erie When the Ex-
plosion Occurred, Being
Engaged in Construction
Work for the City Of
Cleveland

Cleveland, O., July 25.-Twenty-two
men are dead and half dozen Others
are dying as the result of an explosion
of gas in waterworks tunnel five miles
from the shore under Lake Erie late last
night. The dead included workmen who
were trapped in the tunnel when the gas
exploded and the members of two res
cue parties who attempted to save the
men who were first trapped. OF the dead
eleven were in the force trapped by the
explosion. None of these escaped
A third rescue party brought out alive
Gustav c. VanDuzen, superintendent OF
the waterworks construction, who had
headed the second relief force. He may
die
The tragic fate of the rescuers in the
first and second instances was due to the
fact that they worked without oxygen
helmets, which were not available. As
to those rescued, who afterwards died,
no pulmotors were at hand for use in at
tempting to resuscitate ,them.
The cause of the explosion has net
yet been sscertained. 1t is supposed that
one of the workmen struck pocket of
gas with his pick.

HOME RULE FAR OFF
Significant Statement Made BY Premier
Asquith.

London, July 25.--A significant remark
was made in the House of Commons last
evening by Premier Asquith at the con
clusion of debate on a motion for ad
| iournment made by John Redmond, the
Nationalist leader, following an an
nouncement by the premier that the gov.
ernment had no intention of introducing
| any home rule for Ireland bill with re
gard to which there was no substantial
agreement among all parties. In ap-
pealing TO the Nationalists not to throw
away the opportunity for bringing home
rule into immediate operation, Mr.. As
quith said;
81 ask the House and will ask the
country if necessary, if the governments
proposals are not fair"
just before the motion of Mr.. Red
mond was voted down, Mr. Asquith di-
rectly addressed the Nationalists, deny
ing that any partiality had been shown
to either side during the negotiations.
Mr.. Asquth declared that the exclusion
of the six Ulster counties from the op,
GRAFTON OF the home rule act was to his
mind the greatest give and take arrange
ment ever made in the history of po-
litical controversy and he asked the Ma.
tionalists not to break off the negota-
tions.
Mr. Redmond desired an adjournment,
saying that he wished to call the atten-
tion of the members of the House to the
rapidly growing unrest in Ireland and
the deplorable effect resulting from the
government not having carried out in its
entirety the tentative agreement for a
temporary government in Ireland. The
determination of the Nationalists to re-
sist any modification in the terms of the
agreement and the declaration of David
Lloyd George. who negotiated the agree
ment, that the government would not
force new proposals on the Irish nation
were the outcomes of the debate.
The situation in Ireland thus remains
where it was with the additional factor
of the unrest brought about by the dis
appointed hopes of a settlement of the
issues In the absence of any amending
bill the situation now is that the order
in council postponing the operation of |
the home rule act as it stands on the |
statute book until six months after the |
apse OF Is months, mentioned in the or |
Ter in council issued in September. 1915,
lnless the war has previously ended, re-
mains in force
Mr.. Redmond characterized the new
as an absolute and disgraceful
preach of faith toward his supporters.
Nr. Lloyd George regarded the National
st failure to agree to them as dsas.
er, while Sir Edward Carson, the Union
st leader in Ulster, declared it would be
good thing if he and Mr.. Redmond
ould shake hands on the floor of the
House, but that to bring such an event
bout there must be no idea of the coer.
ion of Ulster.
1t is believed in many quarters that if
n election took place at the present
ime Mr.. Redmonds followers would run
serious risk of defeat at the polls.

STRANGE SHIP STIRS BOSTON
Foreign Battleship Said to Be Cruising
About the Harbor.

Boston, July 25,-A great foreign bat
tleship, her name obliterated with paint
and her sides masked in neutral gray,
hoyered on the three mile limit outside
of Boston harbor last night, lying in wait
for the German super submarine Bremen,
long overdue at an American port.
Newspapermen, cruising about Massa-
chusetts bay in chartered tug, came
suddenly upon the great fighting vessel
which sped along, alert for the sight OF a
hostile periscope.
The same ship, or similar one, was
sighted yesterday afternoon by the ma
rine observer on Telegraph hill. The
flag which was flown at her taffrai could
not be identified, but that she was one
of Uncle Sans fighting units was OBJ
vious; the basket masts, peculiar to the
United States navy, were lacking,

ENGLAND AGAIN TORN
BY IRISH QUESTION
Nationalists as Party Threaten to Leave
the Support of the Government and
Form an Opposition Party.

London, July 25.--Apparently the sta

bad TO worse ever since the Sim Fein
rising for at present the country is
in the hands OF temporary government
composed of commission of judges, as.
sisted by the commander of the British
forces who maintains military control
over most police functions.
England finds itself in one of the most
critical stages of the war again ly
wrangling over the old problem and with
no light ahead. The Nationalists, who
as party have supported the govern
ment's war and democratic measures,
threaten TO shift their position and be.
come an opposition party. The English
newspapers this morning blame the cab.
met for its management of the Irish
question and regret the failure OF the
compromise.
The Daily News reports that David
Lloyd George, in view of the failure OF
the Irish negotiations, in which he was
the chief agent, offered TO resign his OF
flee.
"The premier's attitude says the
News, sis understood 10 be that II Mr..
Lloyd George resigns he should consid-
er himself obliged TO resign also. The
matter is now being discussed,
There is no doubt that the events of

TOOK TELEPHONE TOLLS
Unscrewed Box in Pay Station at Cen
trail Vermont Station in Montpelier.

Sometime between midnight and day
break this morning a thief or thieves
walked into the Central Vermont passen-
ger station at Montpelier and appropri-
ated the money box attached to the tele
phone in the pay station booth. The box
was unscrewed from the phone. The
amount of money secured is not known,
but probably will not total over five dol
lars.
The loss was discovered about Q
o'clock this morning when Carl Sawyer
of Barre went into the booth to use the
telephone and, when notified to put hs
change into the box, noticed it was
missing. He told the operator of the
loss and the company sent man to the
station.
The station is left unlocked and some
body must have entered when the ticket
agent was making the trip to the post
office with the mail about o'clock.
