LONDON, Nov. 15.-Increasing activ-

hcial statements to-day. There are
indications that the Germans expect
an attack in this sector.
AT times the German guns have

movements in preparation. Major

and northeast Of Ypres.
Wednesday night Belgian troops
penetrated the German trenches north
of Dixmude and blew up scores of con-
crete dugouts, besides exploding a mine
that damaged the German positions.
This move apparently has increased the
apprehensions Of the enemy and
brought a concentration of artillery
fire in that sector.
On the remainder of the front little
activity is reported. German attempts
yesterday afternoon to approach the
British line north of the Menn road,
in Polderhoek Wood, failed completely.
A dense fog last night prevented in
fentry operations and reduced the ar
tillery activity.
The French front continued quiet.

BUENOS AYRES, Oct. l5.-The prop
aganda In favor of neutrality which has
been conducted with the approval OF
the national government here and the
absolute silence Of those factions which
have been so strongly In favor Of a
break with Germany appear to portend
a radical readjustment Of the internal
politics Of the Argentine Republic.
The present attitude Of the govern
ment has caused general perplexity, in
view of President Irigoyen's statement
that he would break off relations with
Germany il the two houses of Congress

e-u,sdc was begun more than a year
go. but i, was not until early autumn
of ,his year that General Allenby, one
Of the ablest British commanders on
,ss Western front, was transferred 70
Palestine, and launched his great often
i've from the line south Of GAIA and

ger months. Since the day the drive
vas begun there has been no pause IN
The British advance, which has been

and which, consequently, has out
fsnked jerusalem from the west.
Defence Prepared
What measures the Turkish command
has taken 70 protect Jerusalem from at
tack is not krown, but undoubtedly the
British will strike their first real OPP
position e. the gates Of the capital, and
It is not unlikely that heavy fighting
will take place before General Allenby's 5
troops march into the city.
The whole British move has had a
tEofold purpose-to bring Jerusalem
vndsr Christian rule and TO force the
vsskenng OF Turkish and German
forces in Mesopotamia so as to pre-
vent q counter thrust for Bagdad.
Whether the latter object has been ac-
eonplished it is too early TO foresee, as
reports persist that Falkenhayn is still
,ngaged in organizing an army at
Aeppo for drive into Mesopctamia.
But the offensive has been exceedingly
-5eesssful in weakening the Ottoman

Forester Halves May. Leave State.


For several days a rumor has been
er A. E. Halves, of Burlington, was to
leave the service of the state. Mr..
Halves has stated that he has under
consideration, subject to the approx
al of President Wilson, an appoint
ment as forester for the state rela-
tons service of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. If he takes
this position he will have jurisdic-
ton over the states in the northern
half of the country, acting in an adj
visory capacity.
Mr.. Halves has previously been en-
ployed by the government. He be-
came Vermont state forester in 1909
and since that time he has been Of
ester and of professor of forestry in
the University of Illinois, both of
which he declined.
Deer Caught in Tree Dies.
George Ayres, who lives in the
town of Salisbury, while spotting a
line on timber tract on the noun
tain, found the body of a buck deer
which had died under peculiar cir
cumstances, having both horns hooked
around two trees. The deer had evil
small tree about one and a half
inches in diameter which grew about
Is inches from another tree about
four or five inches in diameter. The
small tree apparently bent toward
the large one and allowed one of the
horns to encircle it, and as the horns
bowed in towards the head the ami
NAL became caught by both horns in
such manner that he could not eX-
tricate himself The deer had fought
to clear himself and chafed the skin
from the top part of his head. It is
thought the animal had been there
two weeks or more as the bobcats and
foxes had partly devoured him. Coun-
ty Fish and Game Warden George II.
Chaffee was notified and went to the
scene and found upon examination
that the deer in it's struggles had
broken it's neck. He removed the
horns, which were of unusual size and
will have them mounted. Mr.. Chaffee
thought the deer would weigh about
200 pounds.
