TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

While the weight of German mill
tary power is being increasingly felt
on the eastern front, where it has
stiffened Austrian resistance to the
drive of the Russians, the pressure on
the French at Verdun has momentarily
Iessened. There has been rather lively
artillery activity around the famous
western front fortress but no further
moves by the infantry are recorded in
this afternoon $ Paris bulletin.
The Germans have not been alto
gcther idle on this front, however, for
after having touched off two mines
northwest of Rheims they attacked
French trenches on a height south OF
Derrv-Au--Bac. Paris declares the de
fensive curtain of fire caused the as
sault to fail.
Athens dispatches forecast probable
changes in the Greek ministry as the
result of the economic pressure the Al
lies have exerted because of dissatis
faction with the Greek government at
titude.

OF their hunting dogs, etc, and seemed in
unusually good spirits, saying that with
the weather clearing up he thought he
could breathe better

start the fires, do the milking, etc, in the
morning before the family arose. When
Charles Evans went to the kitchen about
$50 O'Clock this morning he found
his brother stretched upon the floor, life
being extinct
In falling, his head struck against the
separator, cutting a deep cash, but the
wound bled only little. 1t was known
that Mr.. Evans had suffered with heart
disease Tor some time.
Mr. Evans was nearly a lifelong resident
of this place, and a man of upright char
actcr, who stood high in the respect anC
affection of his friends He was G6 years
OF age last March.

PRESSURE TO PREVENT BREAK
BEING EXERTED BY FOREIGN POWERS
Marching Orders for National Guard Held Up at
War Department Pending Mobilization of Troops
at State Camps Special Train Out of Mexico
City

WASHINGTON, June 2l. - The
United States today anxiouslv awaited
word from Mexico City regarding Gen
eral Carranza s attitude towards the
American note sent him yesterday,
for on him depended the question of
war between the two republics.
High officials here admitted private
ly they look for war although care
was taken to avoid any formal express
sion or acts which might appear fore
runners of a declaration of war.
The only answer required from Car
rama is action suppressing outlaw
treatment of Americans, and officials
feared against hope that this would not
be done.
Unofficial versions of the note prob
ably were published in Mexico City to-
day and the official text may already
be in Carranza s hands.
Pressure is being brought to bear
upon Gen. Carranza by representatives.
of European powers to prevent him
from forcing a break with the United
States. Indirect reports reaching the
state department today told Of these
efforts and said that if there was a
possibility they would be successful.
Agencies of the allies are understood
to be particularly active for peace be
cause they believe German influence
has sought to inhame the Mexican gov
cmment against the United States with
a view to preventing this country from
gathering in trade formerly controlled

held in Bellows Falls Monday, when the
future of the school was discussed. 1t was
the opinion of those present that provision
ought to be made for re-opening the aead

ing of Eugene s. Leonard of Bellows Falls,
Henry L. Bowles of Springfield, Mass,
and Mr.. Fuller of Saxtons River, to pre-

determine the best course to pursue.
1t appeared that the Indebtedness was
about $4,000. 1t is understood that if
this can be paid off generous sum will be
forthcoming for future work 1t is hoped
to have the creditors defer action for the
collection of their claims until it is deter

by Germans in Mexico, South and Cen
trail America. 1t is pointed out that
Carranza might avoid war by calling
for an international commission to dis
cuss the situation as provided for III
the treaty of 1S4S. So far, however, no
suggestion for such a step has come
from Mexico. a definite statement has
been received that Carranza is doing
all in his power at this time to protect
Americans in Mexico. He is said to
have given Special Agent Rodgers in
Mexico City all the aid in his power
in arranging for trains to carry Ameri-
can refugees from the interior to Vera
Cruz.
1t was said today that Secretary
Baker and President Wilson will prob
ably determine what national guard
units will be sent to the border Sew

of great enthusiasm and rapid recruit
ing continued to come in from many
states today.
Marching orders for national guard
organizations are still held up at the

soon as a sufficient number of guards

The electrifcation of the railroad

the main topic of discussion yesterday
at the annual convention of the Amer

the steam locomotives had their
strong advocates who advised caution
in the revolution, all speakers admit
ted the growing favor of the electric
power. They declared that the univer-
sal change, not alone for passenger
service, but for freight as well would
prove ultimately an economic meas
