ESSEX JUNCTION REDEEMED
Village Once Condemned by Distin-
guished Vermonter.

We acknowledge with gratitude the
following courteous and attractive in
W zion from New England common
We.
"Tn~ ate of Vermont extends to
you a cordial invitation to spend your
vacation among its Green Mountains,
or on the shores of its beautiful lakes
and streams. The acceptance OF this
invitation will insure you hearty wei
come and hospitable entertainment;
and it is the hope of this common
wealth that your stay here will be so
pleasant that with the approach of
each successive vacation period you
will anticipate with eagerness an out
ing in the Green Mountain State"
This is as it should be. The general
invitation could be improved only by
specific and practical information for
the benefit of Vermonts intending Wis
itors land we are glad to say that this
is done in supplementary literature in
q manner that leaves nothing to be de-
sired.
Nobody receiving such cordial
words and such adequate travelling in
structons can turn Vermontward with
out feeling that he is about to meet
a most pleasant host.
We observe, moreover, that the
headquarters of the secretary of
states publicity department-let us
rather style it the hospitality bureau
of Vermont-have now been placed,
with fine sense OF fitness, at Essex
Junction formerly the object of much
alien objurgatlon. 1t was of Essex
Junction that a distinguished son Of
Vermont, afterward United States
minister near the Court oe st. James
wrote the masterpiece which added
poetic immortality to legal and diplo-
matte renown. We can quote here on
| ly the third of those four deathless
stanzas written in wrath by the Hon.
| Edward John Phelps
Here Boston waits for Ogdensburg
| And Ogdensburg for Montreal,
And late New York long tarrieth
And Saratoga hinderest all;
From far Atlantic's wave swept bays
TO Mississippi's turbid tide
| All accidents, mistakes, delays
| Are gathered here and multiplied
Oh, FLOW man! avoid this place
AS you would plague, or Peter
Funk shun
| And hope in hell
Their souls may dwell
Who fire invented Essex Junction.
Take notice that no longer will thaI
proiane hope be shared by the non
Vermonter. Essex Junction now be
comes the shining gateway to thC
pleasures of one Of the politest an(
loyeliest of American States.-Nev
York Sun.

WAR Anniversary

MORE HOPEFUL
Germany's Enemies Now Prose
cutting Vigorous Offensive
EMPEROR WILLIAM CONFIDENT
His Proclamation Expresses Belief
that Ultimate Victory viii Be
With Teutonic Powers.

London, Aug. 1.-The second ami
versary of Germany's declaration Of
war on Russia finds the relative posi-
tions of the belligeTents very different
from those of the first anniversary.
The entente allies are now pursuing a
successful offensive OH all fronts and
the central powers are virtually every
where on the defensive.
Emperor William celebrated the oc-
casion by the issue of proclamations
to his army and navy and the people
which breathed a spirit of continued
confidence in ultimate victory for Ger
many.
Violent battles are still being fought
by the Russians and the Austro-Hun-
garian and German forces virtually on
the entire front from the Pripet river
marshes in Russia south ward to the
region of Buczacz in Galicia--a dis
tance of about 200 miles.
Meanwhile, comparative calm pre-
walls on the front in France except
near Verdun. West and south of the
Thiaumont work German attack was
put down by the French guns and lat
er south of the work the French made
some progress in grenade attack
The Germans on the Vaux-Chapitre-
Chenois line in fight took some
French first line trenches, but later
were driven out.
The situation in the Somme region
has undergone virtually no change
since the concerted advance by the
British and French last Sunday and
the re-capture from the British Mon
day of narrow front they had taken
from the Germans west of FoureauS
wood,

RECKLESS DRIVER CONVICTED
State Seeks Heavy Sentence in Boyd
Case in Brattleboro.

Brattleboro, July 31,-The jury that
heard the case of the state against
Harry Boyd, charged with breach of
the peace in so driving an automobile
that the machine collided with a
bridge. team and hit man and that
one of the occupants, Mrs. w. NJ. Ran
dali, was thrown out and seriously in
jured, returned a verdict of guilty this
afternoon.
AS the case is one of the first in
Vermont in which the state has tried
for heavier sentence than is possible
under the charge of reckless driving,
it is probable that it will be carried to
the Supreme court by Attorney Harry
B. Chase, who represented Boyd.
Boyd is out on bail of $1,000 fur
nished by his father.

RoHsE CARRIES BOY TO DEATH
Animal Walks into Connecticut at
Ferry landinu.


st. Johnsbury. July 31.-The Con
necticut river claimed another victim
late last night when George Moore Of
Fitzdale lost his life at the ferry at
South Lunenburg. The body was re-
covered this morning near the place
where he and his horse were drown
ed.
The boy, who was II years old. had
been driving with Miss Lucretia Pow.
ers of South Lunenburg and was re-
turning to his home, having left the
young woman at her residence.
1t is supposed that he fell asleep
and the horse, instead of waiting at
the ferry, plunged into the river. Peo
pie nearby heard the splash and hur
ried to the ferry to find the horse
carriage and driver disappearing from
sight.
The water is very deep at that
point and it was impossible to rescue
them. The drowned man was employ
ed by the Fitzdale Paper company
He leaves a mother, step.iather ant
