reaus Of Washington and Orange

from Washington and Orange counties
representatives of the two county farm
bureaus, took possession of the city and
pitched their tents at the Ayers street

reaus. County Agent +. II. Abbott and
| +. H. Loveland of Randolph, the Orange

plans regarded the estimate as conserva-
tive.
Boards Of trade in Barre and Montpe
lier were both active in making the visit
ors feel at home and some of the best
features of the entertainment to be pro-
vided for the picnickers are in charge OF
the two organizations. From the outset

ing in cooperation with Agents Abbott
and Loveland and the two county com
mitteemen, G. A. Badger OF East Mont

ARE NEAR CoMBLES.
Anglo-French Drive Continued to Gain
in That Direction.

London, Aug. l9-Assaults by Frenel
and British forces against German posi-
tions north of the Somme in France have
resulted in the gaining of additiona
ground by the attackers, according to the
british and French war office. The
French advance was in and around Mau,
repas, the scene OF much hard fighting
during the past few weeks and the Brit
ish gain was in the direction Of Ginchy
and Guillemont, near the southern end OF
their section of the Somme front. The
Anglo French attacks, London says, took
place along the whole line from Pozieres
to the Somme.
The gains reported by Paris and Lon
don We're in the center of the German
positions on the Somme front and mark
another step in the Anglo French ad
vance toward Combles. French troops
gained more ground in the village of
Maurepas following the stopping of Ger
man counter attacks near the village.
Calvary hill southeast of the village, was
carried by assault and the French posi-
tion on the Maurepas Gery road also
was extended.
British troops advanced successfully in
the region of Ginchy and Guillemont and
seized more German positions. London
mentions no gain on any other part of
the front. The Anglo British forces cap
tured more than 400 prisoners in their
advance.
The French offensive continues on the
right bank of the Meuse, in the Verdun
region, and Paris chronicles the capture
of two fortified redoubts northwest of
the Thiaumont work. Progress also is
reported for the French east of the
x-Chaptre wood
Berlin reports attacks by the French
and British forces north of the Somme,
but says all of them were repulsed ex
cept one by the British in the direction
of Martinpuich A French gain around
F1eury in the Verdun region is admit
ted
There has been little activity on the
eastern front, according to the official re-
ports Most of the fighting has been in
the Carpathian mountain region, where
both the Russians and Austro-G Germans
claim to have made some slight advances.
Petrograd says the Austro- Germans are
attacking in Galicia, but with no sue
cess.
The Teutonc allies have taken the
offensive on the Greco Serbian frontier,
north of Salonili, and Berlin reports the
capture of the Greek town of Florina
from Serbian troops. This movement
probably is in answer to the recent en-
tente allied activity on the same front,
Artillery bombardments are taking
place on the Austro- Italian front around |
Goritzia. Rome claims an advance for |
the Italians in the Trentino.
