CHILD INSTANTLY KILLED.
Struck by Automobile in White River
Junction.

White River Junction, June THE
eight year old son of Mr., and Mrs. Ches
ter J. Sargent of West Lebanon, n. H..
was almost instantly killed yesterday
when he was struck by the automobile OF
James A. Stacey of this place. The sc.
cident occurred on Bridge street here, di.
rectly in front of the JaFountain- Wool
son company's hardware store.
There were two cars standing in front
of the store, one on each side of the
street, leaving but narrow passage be-
tween. As Mr.. Stacey's car came
through the passage the youngster, who
was apparently at play behind one of the
cars, ran into the middle OF the street
almost in under the wheels.
Though the car was travelling slowly
and the brakes Immediately applied, it
was impossible to stop in time to avoid
the accident. The child was so seriously
injured that he died before he reached
the Hanover, n H., hospital.
The boys parents live in West Leba-
non. Mr.. Sargent is proprietor of the
White River Transfer and Storage com
pany, dealing wholesale and retail in
farm implements and tractors, his place
of business being directly across from
the hardware store where the accident
occurred. The few people who witnessed
the accident assert that no blame could
be attached to Mr.. Stacey.

AUTO ROLLED OVER BANK
Cornelius Lawrence of Montpelier, Pas
senger, Had Right Arm Broken.

The dust raised by another automobile
which he was trailing around corner in
the narrow road near the Greeley place
between Plainfeld and North Montpelier
hindered his vision so much that Charles
DeForest Bancroft of Montpelier drove
his runabout over the edge of a l0-foot
bank at 8 o'clock last evening, the ma
chine rolling down the bank and turning
completely over and then resting on its
side. With Mr.. Bancroft were Mr.. and
Mrs. Cornelius Lawrence OF Montpelier,
and Mr.. Lawrence was the only one in
jured his right arm being broken in two
places below the elbow Had the car
been moving more rapidly it is thought
that serious injuries might have been
sustained by all.
Strangely enough, all three occupants
of the single wide seat stayed in the car
as the vehicle completed its first revolu-
tion, and then all slid out as the car
rested on its side. The car was hauled
out and taken to a Plainfield garage and
the three passengers were taken to their
homes in Montpelier The Windshield of
the car was broken but it was not
thought this morning that much further
damage had been done.

GERMAN INFANTRY
WAS DRIVEN BACK
BY THE FRENCH
Strong Force Made an Attack Northwest
of st. Quentin But Suffered
. Heavy Loss.

Paris, June IA strong force of Ger
man infantry made an attack northwest
OF st. Quentin at midnight, to-day's Off
cial statement says, and the announce
ment adds that the attackers were caught
under a violent trench fire and compelled
to retire with heavy losses.
The official statement issued last night
was as follows:
"This morninga fte the bombardment
of our positions between the Ailette riv-
er and the Laon road and northwest OF
Braye en- Laonnois, the Germans deliv-
cred several attacks at various points in
this sector. Two attempts against the
Bois du Mortier, north of Vauxaillon,
broke down Immediately by our fire,
gave to the enemy no other result than
appreciable losses.
"The Germans concentrated their eff
forts north of the Chemin des Danes,
where they attacked on the front of
Pantheon la Coyer farm. The enemy
attacked repulsed in its entirety was
not able to reach our lines except at one
point south of Filain. In the neighbor
hood of our Bovettes salient, after a
stubborn engagement, some trench ele-
ments of the first line remained in the
hands of the enemy. Everywhere else
our assailants were driven back to their
own trenches.
"The day was calm on the remainder
of the front save in Belgium, where spir-
ited artillery fighting took place in the
sector of Nieuport."

other classes in the public and private
schools in the city. The clansmen, at
their regular meeting last night voted

vest $4,000 of its fund in the purchase of
Liberty bonds, and the treasurer was
authorized to begin negotiations for the
purchase at once.
Juniors crowded one of the class rooms
at Spsulding for special meeting yes.
terday afternoon, with the result that
$50 is to be expended outright for Lib
erty bond, with the probability that the
class will invest another $50 in the same
cause before graduation day and the end
of school next week. Ii should be borne
in mind that the money thus appropri-
ated by the students has been laboriously
gathered and carefully wintered against
the day when they shall occupy the cen
ter of attention in June, 1918 Conse-
quently, the juniors are dedicated to a

sacrifice was made willingly, however,
and to-day juniors were pointing rather
proudly to their showing as patriotic
investors.
Other subscriptions of private nature
were received by Barre's four banking
institutions yesterday, and the total Of
reached at noon had been boost
ed considerably to-day. But there must
be many more subscriptions to bring the
up to Barre's quota, 100000
