ATTEMPT TING To CIT
RUMAN|ANS OFF
Bucharest Taken by Germans
and Bulgars
RUSSIAN ATTACKS IN CARPATHIANS, ACCORDING TO BERLIN
REPORTS, HAVE BEEN REPULSED
(Assocated Press)
(Associated Press)

Rumania's plight today continued
acute with no signs of stand by
either Rumanians or Russians. AL
though Turkish reports last night
claimed the Teutons were within
eight miles of Bucharest, the chief
force of their thrust it seemed is be-
ing exerted toward Ploechti, north
west of Bucharest with the apparent
hope of cutting off Rumanian retreat
by railroad toward Moldavia. Petro-
grad said the Rumanians retired in
the Tergovistea-Ploechti sector and
along the Titu-Bucharest railway.
1t was also declared the Teutons had
been driven back at other points.
Paris announced further Serbian
and French successes in the Grunish-
tea region of Macedonia and the de-
velopment of violent artillery battle
north of Monastir.
The British cabinet crisis is still
acute. London dispatches show indi-
cations that David Lloyd George is
the man through whom it may be solv-
ed. One dispatch said Lloyd George
had been summoned by the king, the
customary proceeding when states
man is to be asked to organize the
ministry. Reports from different
sources said Andrew Bonar Law,
whom the king had asked to form the
new ministry after Premier Asquith
resigned, had declined.

Alt river and advanced toward Buch-
Arrest. More than six thousand pris-
oners were taken yesterday. Russian
attacks in the Carpathians north of
Tartar Pass and along the Ludova
river failed, said the statement. In
the Trotus valley, the Russians reach
ed the German second line. North of

APPEAL FROM COMMISSIONER
TITCOMB.

Commissioner Titcomb has just been
mailing to the holders of fishing and
hunting licenses of last year a circular
letter explaining the fish and game
laws, and especially the condition in the
game laws about which there seems to
be more or less misunderstanding. He
closes with an appeal for cooperation
and urges the closing of small tributary
streams which contain trout that do not
ordinarily attain legal size until they
have dropped down into the larger
waters. The present law authorizes
the commissioner to close such streams,
but it cannot be done without the writ
ten consent of the owners. Short term
closing of streams has not been found
advantageous. The commissioner thinks
it is bad policy to change the laws
every two years, one of the reasons for
which being the fact that it takes about
two years for the public to become &C
customed to changes, especially as they
apply to open and close seasons,
The commissioner closes his circular
by stating that any persons desiring to
be kept on the mailing list use the
postal card which he enclosed for their
present address. 1t is his intention to
send copy of the biennial report, now
in, course of preparation, to every
person who takes advantage of the
postal card to forward his address,
and the number of cards received will
be his guide as to the number of reports
to be printed.

A. E. STARKEY ATTEMPTS SUI


eide.
A. E. Starkey of Brattleboro, about
65 years old, travelling salesman for
the L. P. Gunson company of Roches-
ter, attempted suicide at the Stevens
house in Vergennes about 7 o'clock
Sunday morning, cutting his throat
with a razor. The man was rushed to
the Mary Fletcher hospital at Burling-
ton by automobile and it is stated that
he has a chance of recovery. When
asked why he attempted to take his life
he said he had nothing to live for.
Starkey is married, but has not been
living with his wife for some time. For
the last two or three months he has
been making his headquarters at the
Stevens house and has been travelling
through the territory by team. While
in Middlebury he made his home at The
Addison.
1t is evident that after Starkey had
drawn the razor blade across his throat
he regretted his act and had a great
desire to live as he rang furious!y for
bellboy. When the boy reached the
room he found Starkey lying on the bed
with the blood gushing from the gaping
wound, the bedding being soaked. By
means of signs the man instructed the
boy to lose no time in summoning medi-
cal aid.
DR.. V. w. Waterman, who was sum-
moned, found that the razor had missed
the jugular vein, but had severed the
windpipe. After rendering first aid DR..
Waterman had the injured man hurried
to Burlington by automobile. Starkey
has wife, daughter and sister liv-
ing at Brattleboro.
