ATTACKS
WITH LIQUID FIRE
Germans Captured Positions from the
French, But Later Lost Them in
Counter Attack.

PARIS July 1.-After four violent
attacks with liquid fire the Germans
succeeded in capturing the position
east of Hill No. 304, which was taken
by the French yesterday. The French
made counter attack and recaptured
the positions, according to the war of
hee. After several serious assaults the
Germans succeeded in penetrating the
works around Thiaumont, which were
captured by the French. The approach
.es to Thiaumont are still in the hands
of the French.
On the west of the Meuse fighting of
violence lasted throughout the night.
The Germans attacked heavily both
east and west of Hill No. 304, but most
OF the attacks were repulsed. Nancy
was bombarded by German long range
guns.

Former Governor to Advance
Funds for Payment to the
Boys in Service
SAVING TO STATE
WOULD BE $4,000
Name OF Man Making Generous Offer
Not Disclosed-Would Avoid Calling
the Vermont Legislature in Special
Session This Year.

MONTPELIER, July /. - One of
the former governors OF Vermont, who
will not disclose his identity at this
time, has caused the announcement to
be made that he will become RESPONSE
bic for whatever sum is necessary to
cXpend in behalf of the Vermont
troops now in the field, leaving it for
the Legislature to recoup him when
that body meets in its regular session
next January. In other words, this
former executive proposes to save the
state taxpayers the sum of $4,000 or
whatever amount would be involved
by making an extra session of the leg
lslatnrc unnecessary.
There is precedent in Vermont for
the advancing of funds in this way to
| await action of the legislature at its
regular session, and there appears to
be no reason why the precedent can
not be followed ut this time What ac-
tion may now be taken remains to be
seen.

to the length of time the Vermont
troops are engaged The legislature
will meet the first of the coming

would not extend beyond that time.
4 The cost of calling the legislature
4 IN extraordinary session has been es-
/ timated at from $4,000 TO $4,000, ac-
cording to the time in which the body
remained IN session. There is no legal
! provision whereby the executive can

general assembly can consider at an

no wav Of limiting the length of the
session when once that body has been

disposing of the question of appro.

take up great variety of matters

ambitious members would take ad.

legislative lights shine.

stormed and at various points fighting
has reached the second line. Reports
show that French and British at the
points of their farthest advances have

westward of Lille road after a heavy

The allies are now on the offensive
