PARIS, May This morning the French following yesterdays con- tinuous bombardment evacuated the trenches on Hill BOA. Since that time although the Germans made several attempts to reach to them and occupy the abandoned positions they were unable to do so owing to the terrific artillery fire that still kept pouring down upon them from unexpected places.
 The Germans made several ad- vances in this region but the con- stant rain of artillery shells proved after fearful losses too much for them.

PETER TIERNEY IN MISHAP.

Peter Tierney, who drives the auto
stage carrying mail between this village,
East Middlebury, Ripton and Bread
Loaf Inn, while coming into town Fri
day, went into the ditch near the Rogers
corner. The steering gear went wrong
and the machine went over the bank
and crashed into a tree. In the machine
were Mr.. Tierney and passenger, W.
H. Bryant. Mr.. Bryant was thrown
out and received few scratches and
bruises. Mr.. Tierney clung to the
steering gear, which was badly bent in
the crash. Had it been bent a little
more, it is thought that Mr.. Tierney
would have suffered fatal injuries. The
car was not badly damaged and with
assistance was lighted and run to
garage on its own power.
