Series of Important Confer
ences With Lansing Is
to Follow
ALLIES WILL ALSO
BE INTERROGATED
Lloyd Georges Speech is
Taken to Indicate Allies
Position

Washington, d. c., Aug. l7.-President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing soon will
begin series of important conferences
preliminary to response to be made to
the pope's message. Before the CON-
munication goes forward the views OF
the entente governments on the subject
will be aseertained This, necessarily
will take some time owing to the delays
in transmitting messages by cable.
The text of the note which the state
department received by cable from Lon.
don late yesterday is now before the
president and he probably will give it
close study before taking up the sub
ject with Secretary Lansing.
In official and diplomatic circles here
to-day Lloyd Georges speech is regard
ed as voicing the views of the allies as
to any discussion of peace. His account
ing of the food supplies and shipping sit
uation, as affected by the submarine
war fare, is also regarded as indicative
of Great Britain's position and strong
attitude.

ODD FELLOWS GRAND SIRE.
Was Entertained at Large Gathering in
Burlington Last Night.

| Burlington, Aug. l7.--Odd Fellows ant
! their Rebekah wives from most of the
large communities in the state came tc
town yesterday to seen and hear Frank
@. Goudy of Denver, Col, grand sire Of
the sovereign grand lodge of the Odd
Fellows of America. The plans of the
Joint committee of Hamilton and Green
Mountain lodges went all awry, when the
national head of the order came by car
with Grand Secretary Frank W. jackson
of Barre, who picked him up at Montpel-
ier Junction. The lodges of Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs and Lafayette Canton had
arranged to escort the grand sire and
visiting grand lodge officers from the
station, when they arrived.
The grand sire came to Vermont from
Maine. Before that he had made an Off
cial visit to New Hampshire, to which
he came from Canada, where he visited
the grand lodge of Ontario at Toronto
II was his first official visit to Vermont
or New England, but two or more of
his predecessors have visited the state
officially.
He did not reach the city with the
grand officers until about 500 The
members of Antonia and Beatrice Rebek-
ah lodges served buffet lunch from sto
0 o'clock, at which the grand sire made
a public speech. He said among other
things that no lodge of Odd Fellows
c ould hope to flourish without the aid
Of the Rebekah lodge He was glad, he
declared, to see the national emblem,
with which the hall was decorated. There
was nothing in Odd Fellowship contrary
to the spirit of patriotism. The grand
sire told of how children, fatherless or
motherless or orphans, were brought to
the platform in Toronto. Their fathers
were lost on the other side. The same
thing might be expected by Odd Fellows
of America before very long.
The rest of the grand sire's remarks, !
which were purely informal, were of
nature.

Germans Countered and
Drove British Out at
Some Points
LATTER CAME BACK
AND RECLAIMED LINE
Official Report Says That
the New Front Was
Re-established

London, Aug l7--The Germans made
two counter attacks last night against
the new British positions near Loos
They gained temporary success at some
points, the war office announced to-day,
but subsequently the British line was re-
established.
The British official statement issued
last night was as follows:
"The allied attacks delivered early in
the morning on front of nine miles
north of the Ypres Menin road have been
continued during the day in the face of
strong enemy resistance
"0n the left the French troops, advanc-
ing ON both sides of the Zuydschoot- Dix
nude road, drove the enemy from the
tongue of land between the User canal
and Martjevaart and captured the bridge
head of Dreigrachten.
''In the center the British troops rap
idly captured their first objective and,
continuing their advance, carried the viii
Iage of Langemarck after heavy fighting.
: They then forced their way forward for
a distance of half mile beyond the vii
lage and established themselves in the
German trench system which constituted
their final objective for the day.
"On our right there has been fierce
and intense fighting since the early
morning for the possession of the high |
ground north of the Menin road. The |
enemy disputed our advance with deter
mination, counter attacking with large
forces. As the result of the counter
attacks the enemy succeeded during the
afternoon, at great cost, in pressing back
our troops in this area from part of the
ground won earlier in the day,
"This evening further enemy counter
attacks in this neighborhood were brok
en- up by our ARTILLERY fire,
"The number of prisoners taken by the
allies in the course of this attack cannot
yet be ascertained, but over 1,S00, includ-
ing 3s officers, already have been brought
in A few German guns also were cap
tured
"Our troops made further progress this
afternoon east of Loos. The number of
troops we captured on this front since
the opening of our attack Yesterday has
now reached total of s96, including %

FOR SEA SAFETY
Device Invented to Cut Anchor Chains os
Floating Mines.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, Aug. l7.-Fx
periments with newly invented device
intended to cut the anchor chains OF
floating mines and to prevent them from
coming in contact with a vessel passing
through mine field, have been ,nduct-
ed here, it is claimed, with success. The
contrivance was invented by Rear Ad.
miral Goedhart of the Dutch navy
1t was affixed to steamship of the
Batavier line for series of tests The
vessel steamed through field of BARN
less mines with the result, it is asserted.
that every mine which barred her course
automatically was pushed aside ard its
anchor chain cut.
The invention consists of a steel pro
longation of the ships bow, which is
easily hoisted or slowed away. It ex-
tends Is feet under the water and is de-
signed to push the mine anchoring chains
or cables aside to distance of l5 feet
from either side of the vessel At hat
point the cables or chains are clipped
and the liberated mine rises to the sur
face Is feet from the vessels side. Hav-
ing once been passed safely, the plan is
to explode the floating mine by shooting
at it.
After the clipping of the chain If one
mine the apparatus is intended auto
to become ready to deal with
the next.

and shelves, overflow into the servants
quarters and even into the stables at the
back of the house.
Nearly $4,000 books week are sent
out to all parts of the world, and, in
addition to gifts 100000 books and maya
zines are purchased monthly. The tastes
of the soldiers are remarkable, and an
amazing light has been thrown on the
matter of best sellers. Far away into
the millions scars the demand for Nick
Carter detective stories.
Every hospital in France, of which
there are some 200, receives a parcel of
100 books every three weeks. Poetry is
very largely in demand and ranges from
to modern living poets. The
colonial soldier has an Unsuitable GU

No demand is refused whether it be for
the latest handbook on oil engines, the
