BLACK LACKED AND ROBBED.
Samuel King Told About Being Relieved
of SOS Near Burlington.

Burlington, Aug. l7.-An exceptionally
bold robbery, which took place on Shell
burne road Monday night, came before
the attention of the authorities yester-
day when Samuel King of Shelburne re-
ported that he had been Knocked in the
head and S65 in bills taken from him.
The robber is unknown.
Mr.. King, whose home is in Shelburne,
came TO this city during the day Mon
day with load of hay, which he sold
while here While on his return trip
a young fellow stopped him on Shelburne
road near the ledge road, asking him for
a ride. The youths request was grant
ed and he climbed on to the hay rack.
When near the Henry Drew farm, fur
ther along the road, the stranger asked

WHY OFFENSIVE is SLOW
Military Situation and Economy of Men
Given as Reasons at Paris.

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE apparent slow
rate of progress by the French and Brit
ish forces on the western front since
July /, as compared with that of the
Russians on the eastern front, it is ex-
planned in military circles here is due to
the methodical nature of the entente
offensive against line of strongly for
titled positions extending virtually from
the North sea to Salonica and the fact
that infantry must wait until the artil-
lery has done its work The front OF
the central powers in the western theatre
of the war is much more strongly forti-
fed than the front with which the Rus.
sian armies have had to deal, so the lat
ter are in a better situation for maneu-
vering on a large scale.
One of the principal drawbacks against
the entente allies on the western front Is
the nature of the Teutonic positions,
which prohibit the use of the wings of
the entente armies. The Russians, how
ever face no such obstacle. The Rus
sian operations, it is explained further,
have not been planned with political con-
siderations in view, such as necessarily
have arisen on the western front owing
to the cooperation of various entente
armies.

ANGLO-FRENCH DRIVE
MOVES AHEAD ON
THREE-MILE FRONT
Allies Struck with Terrific Force in Three
Directions and Have Now Flanked
Maurepas and Clery, Says
London Report.

London, Aug. 1.-THE French and Brit
ish, striking with terrific force in three
directions on the Somme front, have
stormed nearly three miles of German
trenches, driving forward at points to a
depth of 300 and 500 yards.
The most important gains were made
by the British and French troops strik-
ing north from the point where the allied
lines meet. Maurepas and Clery, two
of the most important points held by the
Germans in this sector, have been flanked
on both sides, according to the official
statement issued by Paris. The road has
also been reached between Maurepas and
Guillemont, the latter town being the
immediate objective Of the British. This
advance, if maintained, brings the al
lies directly in front of the large rail
road town of Combles.
South of the Somme the French
stormed German trenches over length
of about three-quarters of mile, driv-
ing forward in southerly direction from
Belloy En- Santerre. Paris reports that
a considerable number of prisoners were
taken in these operations.
