A Newspaper Story.

The particular classic, to our mind.
among host OF good newspaper stor--
les is the one concerning the editor
OF the Newport Express and Standard
1t is related that one week he spread
himself on magnificent editorial,
which he thought would fairly revolu-
tionize things. Not hearing forth
with and at once over the telephone
from congratulating readers. after
some hours he sailed forth onto the
street and asked the distinguished
citizen of the town, an ex-governor
Gen. Josiah Grout, what he thought
of the editorial The governor UNI
kinked several feet of his spare form
and glowering at the editor, said. 81
take the weekly Expressand Standard
and always pay for it $3.50 in advance
according to its terms. But want
you to understand, sir, that don't

The well.iutentioned News has got
this story-which II truly calls
classic--badly twisted 1t is one of
Zed Stantons best, and the Judge has
no superior as raconteur The real
story is as follows:
Some twenty-five years ago, when
Theophilus Grout younger brother
of the then Congressman Grout and
the later Governor Grout was the
owner and editor of the Newport Elk
press and Standard, it is related that
he did what the News ascribed to the
present editor OF the Express (Who
won't relish the mistake). The party
whom Editor Grout approached for an
expression of opinion was not Josiah
Grout but the then proprietor of the
Memphremagog House, n well-known
local character quite equal to making
such rejoinder, which was, following
the election Of a copious mouthful of
tobacco juice. See here, Theoph,

BAKER ANSWERS TRAINING
 CAMP OBJECTIONS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON. July 23.-Tn re- sponse to the protest of many sena- tors to the plan of training national guardsmen from the northern sec tions of the United States in south ern training camps, Secretary of Waf Baker told the senate that the ar engagements were made for climatic req sons.
 Variable weather conditions in the northern parts of the country render cd effective military training much more difficult than in the warmer and more even climate of the south, the secretary said. As the government intended to train large numbers of troops during the winter period it was in every way advisable to have the camps located where there was the least variation in temperatures throughout the year.

PARIS. July 23-The official state ment of the war office says that the Germans continued their futile drives against various sections of the French battle front last night.
 The Teuton attacks were especially violent along the Aisne river front. and determined attempt to storm the French defenses along the Craonne plateau was continued through the greater part of the night.
 Following the feinting attacks di- rected against the French during the past week, the Germans are appar- ently concentrating their efforts to batter way into the French trench a major portion of their attacks Sat- urday and Sunday nights were direct ed toward the Coucy and Craonne sectors.
 As in the case of the previous as- saults in those areas, the Germans again incurred heavy losses in last nights attacks without being able to gain a lasting foothold in the French trenches.
 A majority of the storming waves were dispersed by the French artil- lery but the Germans continued their thrusts undaunted by the heavy cas- ualties piled up under the rain of shells thrown Into their advancing ranks in steady streams.
 The persistence of the Germans In trying to pierce the French line at this point is looked upon as certain
