well known Canadian comedian, put tn
audience in good spirits and just as oft
en- as the funny man appeared he wa

She is a mezzo'soprano of more thai

George A, Bailey of New York, tho
first speaker, gave an interesting de
scription OF what Independent Forestry
is doing for members who are in the in
cipient stages of disease The Rainbow
sanatorium was the subject of an illu-
minating narrative which brought home
to many of those present a tangible no.
tion of what fraternalism in one of its
most practicable aspects really means.
Mr.. Bailey said that the sanatorium had
a message of hope for Foresters who are
designated as incurablc and besought for
the institution the continued support OF
Foresters throughout the nation.
+. i. Kinney of New York. supcrin-
tendent of field work in Vermont. told
his hearers of his observations while
travelling up and down the Green Noun
tain state and urged that more and
more attention be paid to organization
and the work of upbuilding the order.
He spoke optimistically of the orders
future and laid special emphasis on the
need of attending meetings regularly
George A. Mitchell of Toronto Ont. an
assistant to the supreme chief ranger
chose for his subject, Real Fraternity
and the Independent Order OF Foresters."
As one of the wheel horses in the
movement for the propagation of the
gospel of fraternalism in the United
States and Canada. he was introduced as
one eminently well qualified to speak.
He made much of idealism in his prefa-
tory remarks, but got down to cold facts
before closing He proved to be a veri-
table storehouse Of information concern
ing the origin and growth of Independ-
ent Forestry and challenged the closest
attention of his auditors. Mr.. Mitchell
is an orator and his lofty presentation
Of what Forestry stands for will not
soon be forgotten. Brotherhood was the
keynote of his appeal to Foresters for
more united cooperation, a greater de-
gree of faithfulness and more devotion
to the principles for which the order
stands.
After the speechmaking the hall was
cleared Of tables and chairs and for the
better part Of two hours there was
plenty of relaxation for the delegates in
he form of an enjoyable dancing roper
.oire.

LAVISH BENEDICT HELD.
On Charge of Altering Money Order to
Unheard of Denomina ton.

Concord, n. H., Oct. l9.-United States
Marshal Charles J. O'Neil will go to
Walpole to bring Richard Wood to Con
cord for arraignment before United
States Commissioner Burns p Hodgman,
on charge of altering a money order.
| United States District Atty. Fred H.
Brown instructed Marshal O'Neill to go
after the young man, who cut wide
swath in Bellows Falls and Walpofe on
Tuesday by virtue of a money order call
ing for $1,000, which he showed to va
rous merchants and the proprietor of
the Walpoe hotel to obtain credit for
clothing iewelry, automobiles and ban
quet to as many residents of the two
towns as cared to indulge in an old-fash-
ioned turkey spread.
The fact that the postoffice department
does not issue money orders for sums
exceeding 500 appears never to have
occurred to any of the persons who Law
ished credit upon Wood and only be-
cause the hotel proprietor's suspicious
were raised because his guest was so
slow in eashing the order brought about
Woods arrest Tuesday night The young
man and his bride-to?be visited many
stores in Bellows Falls, obtaining goods
valued at 5000 from the Goodnow de-
partment store and jewelry worth $500
from another, it is reported.
Wood was in a state of physical col
lapse yesterday, so bad that physicians
advised the officers not to bring him to
this city. An effort was made to settle
up the matter by paying the bills con-
tracted by Wood, it was reported here
but Dist. Atty. Brown declined to drop
the ease and ordered Wood brought here
for arraignment.
The young woman he married in the
Walpole hotel parlor Tuesday night re-
mained in Walpole to be near her hus-
band, and it is understood she will come
here with him when Marshal O'Neill
brings him tonight.

ENTENTE OFFENSIVE
IN MACEDONIA

Despite unsettled conditions in
Greece, which apparently have mil.
itated against the determined
pushing of the entente operations
on the Macedonian front, fresh and
successful attacks by French and
Serbian troops are reported in-
terest attaches to further possible
developments in the Nardar re-
gion, in the center of the Macedo-
nian front, where little but artil-
lery activity is reported during
vigorous operations on either flank.
Last nights announcement from
Paris that hostile trenches west of
the river Vardar had been pene'
trated a quarter of a mile in an
attack by French troops indicates
the possibility of an entente often
sive in force, to be extended to
this important section of the front.
The repulse of allied attacks
with heavy losses on various parts
of the Saloniki front is reported
in an official statement from Sofia.
London says of operations on the
French front: Rain fell heavily
during the night. Raiding parties
entered many trenches near Loos
and south of Arras. Otherwise
there is nothing to report.

The British Give Up Hope of
Breaking Through Line
in Present Drive
GERMANS ALSO EX-
PECT LONG WARFARE
Entente Allies Will Spend
Time Trying to Wear
Down the Enemy

The British front in France, Oct. is
via London, Oct. 10, copyright of th'
Associated Press The war will last an
other year according to the censored
opinion among the British soldiers anc
their leaders. 1t is also the opinion Of
the Germans, if the views of the pris'
oners count for anything.
Before the grand offensive started, a
high authority informed the correspond
ent of the Associated Press that the Ger
man line would not be broken this sum-
mer and that slow operations wearing
down the Germans would be inaugurated
which would probably last through an
other summer.
German prisoners taken during the
summer invariably spoke of peace as a
certainty in the autumn, but their tone
has been entirely different of late. They
recognize that it is fight to the finish
and that the ultimate decision will come
from the fearful attrition on the west
ern front, which now will know no inter-
mission until the end.
The Germans are determined to make
every village on the western front for
tress, which will yield only when re-
duced to powder by machine gun fire.
At period when the weather is adverse
to offensive operations elsewhere, the
Germans are apparently concentrating
every possible man and gun against Ru-
mania.
The view of the British officer is that
the Germans hope to crush Rumania so
that when they have to face a common
allied offensive in the spring they may
not have to defend the immense length
of the Rumanian frontier in addition to
what they have had to defend this sum
mer.

NOT REQUESTED TO MOVE.
And U. S. Destroyers Were on Hand
For Humanitarian Purposes.

Washington, Oct l9.-It was an
nounced officially yesterday that the
complete information now at hand CON
tanned no evidence that American de-
stroyers had been requested to move so
that the boat could destroy ship
without accident. The attention given
that report in the debate Tuesday in the
British Parliament caused surprise here as
officials attach little Importance to it
one way or the other. 1t is pointed out
that the destroyers were on hand purely
for humanitarian purposes and that so
long as international law was being OBJ
served it was but an act of courtesy for
the German commander to give notice
that he intended to sink the vessel.
