London, Dec. l5.--The British have re
gained part of the ground won by the
Germans on the Ypres front yesterday
the war office reported to-day.
The British loss of yesterday is told
in the following communication from
Field Marshal Haig last night
"There was local fighting this morn

shortly before dawn. the enemy attacked
our positions in the neighborhood of
Polderhoek Chateau. The attack was
repulsed, except at one point where the

WASHINGTON COUNTY PREPARING.
Red Cross Membership Organization Is
Started in Nearly Every Town.

During the course of the Christmas
membership campaign of the American
Red Cross next week The Times will
publish reports of the progress of the
campaign as received from time to time.
Reports from the twenty towns and
cities of the county indicate that in most
instances complete organization has been
had this week and in some places the
actual campaign for new members al
ready has begun. In Montpelier, Wat
erbury, Plainfeld, Middlesex, Barre aud
other towns, list of prospects" has
been made and it is the intention of the
workers to give these an opportunity to
join the American Red Cross.
President Wilson and Theodore s. Vail
of the national war council have sent
out messages strongly urging every citi-
zen to enroll as members of this, the
greatest war relief association in the
world.
Calls from various towns for service
flags, buttons, etc, indicate a fine spirit
in Washington county and it looks as
though the enrolment in this county
would be large. Although it is hoped
that at least four thousand new mem.
bers will be enrolled during the week be-
fore Christmas. vet the limit of enroll
ment is only the limit of population.

FOUND INFANT BOY
ON THEIR DOORSTEP
Mr. and Mrs. William Reed of Beflin Also
Found Note Requesting Them to
Care for the Child a Year.

Mr.. and Mrs William Reed of Berlin,
just outside OF Montpelier, were very
much surprised to find late last night a
baby boy done up in bundle which they
found on their piazza. Mrs. Reed retired
at about 9:45 o'clock and half an hour
later she heard noise in the front of
the house, which made her think that a
calf had gotten out of the barn. So she
investigated. Instead of finding the calf
she saw bundle on the piazza, which
she brought into the house. On opening
the bundle she found the baby, healthy
youngster, wrapped in neat but inexpen
sive clothing.
With the bundle was note stating
that the child would be one month old
on Dec. 81; but Mrs Reed thought the
boy must be older. The note also stated
that the parents thought they would like
to have Mr. and Mrs. Reed take care of
the child for a year, that if at the end of
year they found they could not do so
any longer they 1.-THE parentsl might be
in a position to take the child, something
which they felt they could not do at the
present time.
Mr. and Mrs. Reed have taken the mat
ter up with the Berlin overseer of the
poor, Clark Stewart, and the matter has
also been reported TO the states attor
