Announcement that the British com
meree ship losses for the last week were
considerably smaller than the maximum
means, probably, that large part of the
German submarines were called off the
pursuit of merchant ships to lie in wait
for American transports which were ex-
pected about that time to bring Amer
lean soldiers bound for the western war
front. There surely was no voluntary
lessening of German efforts against
Great Britain's shipping. It merely be-
came expedient "a big word in the Ger
man dictionary to send part of the
wolves of the sea to meet the expected
coming of the Americans. So, indirectly,
the entry of the United States into the
war is aiding Great Britain in an unex-
pected way.

HARD STORM AT ST. ALBANs.
Electric Service Was Out of Commission
for Five Hours.

st. Adams. Aug. 3.--As result of two
severe electrical storms at Fairfax yes

most severe of the year and the fall Of
rain was heavy, the Lamoille river rising
about foot and half One generator
was burned at the plant Wednesday aft
ernoon, causing trouble with the serv-
ice here for an hour.
A few local telephone lines were out

Now and then pieces of information
are divulged which enable one to form
some idea of the size of the American
army contingent already on the other
side of the ocean. The latest piece of in
formation is that Major General Per-
shing inspected the American troops en-
camped in nearly dozen villages 1t
must be taken to be fact then, that
the American force already back of the
front is not merely a dress parade for
nation which German scofers referred
to a few weeks back.

In recent review the Vermonters in
camp at Fort Ethan Allen upheld the
reputation of the Vermonters in the Civ
il war as marchers of the highest ability.
If an army was starting off on a long
hike in the Civil war the order was Civ
en- frequently to put the Vermonters at
the head of the line to set the pace, and
that was followed by the order to keep
the column well closed up. No less a
person than Gen. Segdwick saw the de-
STABILITY of such an arrangement.

ASK BRANDON PEOPLE TO PAY.
A Chautauqua Association Calls on Them
to Stand Half Loss.

Brandon, Aug. 3.--At meeting of the
Chautauqua guarantors held Wednesday
at the Brandon inn, DIR. Pierson of the
Swarthmore Chautauqua made sugges-
tion that the guarantors here assume
one-half of the guarantee of $500 to
help out the loss due to inability to
open here next Saturday on account OF
the order issued by the state board of
health
He stated that the association would
do its best TO fill the Brandon dates in
town in Massachusetts, and give the
guarantors one-half of the gross receipts
received there to apply on the $3.50.
Some of the 90 or more guarantors
seemed to think it fair proposition and
partially agreed to the plan, while others,
who were guarantors for the past two
years and had to go into their pockets
to make up deficiency in order to pay
the association, feel that they are under
no obligation whatever.

THE PRESENT BRITISH DRIVE.

A big military drive is somewhat like
football attack, it cannot become effec-
tive when encomtering a field of mud
So the British offensive in Flanders has
been held up by reason of the fact that
the assaulting force would be compelled
to wade through a veritable sea of mud
before reaching the opposing line. If an
infantry charge should be attempted I'M
der such conditions the assault would be
slowed up and scattered just as an Sin
reference" in football would be slowed
up and scattered and the result would
be virtual victory for the side which
merely dug its defenses into the ground

sive yet developed in the war because
the early setback due to the unfavorable
conditions might work to the handicap
ping of the force of the assault. How
ever, the British have a vast amount of

ed that the offensive will renew its mo.
mentum just as soon as the conditions
become more favorable.
