CONSUMPTION PLANS
FOR VERMONT OUTLINED
BY GOVERNOR GRAHAM

The following statement regard
ing the application OF conscription
in Vermont has been issued from
Gov. Graham's office in Montpe-
lisr:
"The tentative regulations for

ed into a number OF districts cor

tion, the county must be used. In
New England and in states where
there is no county administrative
organization, the town may be
used
"In order to adopt the regula-
tions to conditions in Vermont, the
governor will designate local reg
istration boards in each town and
city, consisting of the moderator
or mayor, the town or city clerk
and the local health officer. Def

Der of German dead lying on the battle
field is greater than ever seen on one
spot during the fighting in France.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press watched the battle from the po.
siton whence the French went over to
the attack north OF Nanteuli-La- Fosse
and Sancy. To the northwest was Laf-
faux mill while to the northeast Fort
Malaison, dismantlcd before the war,
stood out like square block on the hori-
zon. In the center was LAnge garden
where the Chemin Des- Danes breaks off
from the Soissons- Brussels road.
The battle hereab bouts was most in
teresting as the possession of Laffaux
mill gives the occupants enfilading po-
sition along the Chemin- Des- Danes and
the Ailette. The German resistance
here reached its highest point, but could
not prevail against the powerful blows
OF the French attack. The Germans
countered after the French had taken
their front line, but were given blow
for blow, the French eventually wearing
down their opponents. Several ruined
farm houses such as those of Mensjeau,
Colombo, Royere and Epinne- de -Chev-
legny, the latter directly on the Chemin-
Des Danes, were scenes of fierce engage
ments with hand grenades and bayonets.
In these the French came out victorious.
