VERMONTER SUCCESSFUL VIR-
GINIAN.
M. E. Church, Native of Orleans
County, Sells Large Virginia
Telephone Property.

M. E. Church, a native of Orleans
county, who went to Virginia many
wears ago, has recently sold valua-
BILE telephone property there. The
Monitor has often spoken of Mr..
Church and his success in his adopted
state, but the extent of his business
has been little realized. The sale of
the telephone companies which he
owned and controlled, for price in
the vicinity of $250,OOO, speaks loud
er than any words of the development
1888. In that year Mr.. Church built
a line from Falls Church, Va, to
Washington. During the Spanish
war he extended his line to Camp AL
ger and furnished all the telephone
and telegraph service for that war
post of $4,000 troops for several
months. From this grew Mr..
Church's company which Virginia pa
pers say was the Largest indepen-
IDENTIFY owned and operated telephone
company in the state of Virginia, if
not in the whole South"
Mr.. Church is a frequent visitor
here and his commanding personality,
his uniform courtesy and his absolute
integrity make him a person beloved
and respected by all.
The Loudoun, (Va.,) Times shows
this side of Mr.. Church's character
in the following mention of the sale.
"The Falls Church and Leesburg
Telephone company has passed out OF
existence, having been absorbed by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone company, the transfer being
allowed by the department of justice,
after an investigation, it being clear
ly shown that these two lines in no
way competed the one with the other
and that the transfer was for the pub
lie good. With this transfer M. E..
Church, to whom the people of Lou
doun are indebted for the good tele-
phone service this county has enjoyed
for many years when other counties
surrounding us were suffering from
inadequate service, retires from the
telephone business carrying with him
the high regard of all with whom he
came in contact in the multitudinous
details of his business and the deep
affection of all his employers with
whom he came in closer touch"
Mr. Church rendered his employees
a reception and banquet after the
sale was made and presented each of
the employees of the company and his
personal employees with letter of ap-
probation and a substantial check
which he stated was not gift but
was more in the nature of dividend
upon the enterprise in which they had
been mutually engaged.
Mr. Church has banking and real
real estate interests which will occu-
py his attention after some time
spent in travel. Vermont is proud of
such men as Mr. Church, who make
large places in the business and social
circles of other states, for Mr.. Church
is not alone big business man, but a
man who is a moral force for good
wherever he may be, prominent in re-
igious and fraternal organizations.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local rene
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

The liveliest tilt that has occurred at
this session of the legislature took
place Thursday night between State
Fish and Game Commissioner John
N. Harvey, the governors executive
clerk and reviser of the state fish and
game laws, at the hearing before the
senate and house revisionary commit
tees on the question as to whether the
present permissive form of game law,
as codified by Mr.. Titcomb and passed
by the 1912 legislature should remain
in force or be superseded by the pro-
hibitory form recommended by Hale
K. Darling, revision commissioner, in
his report on the revision of the pub
lie statutes.
Mr.. Harvey mentioned a letter of
Mr.. Titcomb's written to Mr.. Darling
in which the state fish and game COM
missioner stated that the legislature
was not competent to pass on the
merits of prohibitory or permissive
form of law and the executive clerk
added that Mr. Titcomb had called
him a CRATER and told Mr.. Darling
that he must not be influenced by him
(Harvey), as he was bad man.
Mr.. Titcomb referred to the time
when Mr.. Harvey's father had been
tried and fined for catching short
trout and Mr.. Harvey retorted that
his father had never been indicted by
a Washington county grand jury as
Mr.. Titcomb had been.
Before the commissioner could re-
ply, Senator Villas of Chittenden coun-
ty objected to the personalities, stat
ing that they were degrading and
aside from the argument.

TREMENDOUS
CANNONADE
Is FUTILE
Germans Fail to Advance in
Two Attacks on British
in Flanders.
THE WAR SUMMARY.

Yesterdays tremendous cannOnade
on the Flanders battle front was fol-
lowed last night by two German at
tempts to shake the British from their
hold on important sections of newly
won ground. Neither of these met
with any success whatever. London
reports.
The first attack was launched in
the Hollebeke region. The Germans
did not even succeed here in reach
ing the British line. Later the Ger
man guns laid down a barrage at
Westhoek and the infantry tried to
push in under its cover. They met
with no more success, however than
they had done at Hollebeke. On the
French front, aside from the Flanders
area, there was considerable activity
on the part of the Germans. They
made attacks in the region of Boville'
at Avocourt wood and in Alsace. The
