WAR TAKES TOLL FROM SUMMER
RESORTS ON LAKE.
Conservative Estimated Loss of Bust
ness 20 Per Cent-Boat Traffic
Also Affected.

Burlington.-The war has taken its
toll from the summer resorts along
Lakes Champlain and George as
shown by the fact that with few ex-
septions the hotels have fallen off at
least 20 per cent in their business
While the boats plying between
Pittsburgh and Burlington have been
under stimulus of the Plattsburg
camp business, there is no doubt that
the tourist business has shown woe
full falling of. The same is true, ac-
cording to the best information pos
sible, of the resorts in the Adrion-
dacks.
For the two weeks following Sep
tember /, no boat of the line of the
Champlain Transportation Company
will visit Cedar Beach, Thompson's
Point, Basin Harbor or others of the
camping places owing to the fact that
the Ticonderoga will discontinue max
ing its southern trip at that time.
The Vermont will be the only means
of transportation between Burlington
and Essex, Westport and other south
ern ports.
On September the Steamer Yer
mont will make it's last trip of the
season and thereafter the Ticonderoga
will visit the beaches two nights per
week, and will during four nights lay
over in Plattsburgh. The boat on the
fall schedule will make two trips per
day to and between Plattsburgh and
this city.
On Lake George, the service Of the
Steamers Mountaineer and Sycamore
will be discontinued shortly after
September l. The Horizon will take
care of the through traffic. The Mo
hican will take care of the local ports
after that time.

WAR BULLETINS

President Wilson places an embargo
on virtually every commercial export
Of America and formally prohibits the
export of any article to Germany or
her allies, thus to a great extent re-
lieving Great Britain of the work Of
directing the blockade. 1t goes into
effect at once.
Italians break Austrian lines on
Bainszza Plateau and advance toward
eastern border it.
French advance two-thirds OF a mile
On east bank of Mouse and reach out
skirts Of Bethincourt on west bank.
With the dominating height of Monte
Santo securely in their possession, the
Italians are continuing their drive Of
the Austrians eastward over the Balm
sizza plateau, notwithstanding the VIC
lent resistance the enemy is offering
with artillery, machine guns and light
artillery.
East of Riga the Russians have
fallen back before the enemy all along
the line from -Raggedzem, on the Gulf
of Riga, through Tukkum and Kan
mern to the upper reaches Of the
River Aa. Fighting is going on scant
twenty miles east of Riga, in the High
Babit sector.
The Germans have opened an often
sive on the Riga front and have forced
Russian advanced forces to fall back
several miles. There are signs that
this may be the long-expected Teutonic
movement on Petrograd. General Let
chitzky, of Galician fame. has been ap-
pointed suddenly to command the Rus
sian northern front.
Austria's terrible toll of casualties
in the continuing Italian advance
reached $4,000 in dead and wounded,
according to estimates.
