STOCK RAIsERs AND STATE FAIR.
Secretary Davis Invites Farmers to
Make Exhibits in September.

Vermont stock raisers should take
greater interest this year than heretofore
in the Vermont state fair, which will be
held at White River Junction, Sept. Is,
49, 20 and D." said Secretary Fred l..
Davis the other day.
Conditions, brought about by the war,
will make the exhibits in the State de-
partment from outside the state some
what smaller in number than usual
Therefore, Vermont farmers should avail
themselves by sending larger numbers
of stock than in former years. The state
fair commission will pay the same liberal
premiums as in the past and this money
can be made to remain in Vermont if the
stock raisers in the state will improve
the opportunity.
MY advice is to start now and get
stock to be exhibited INTO shape. We
can make this real fair for our own
people if we will take hold and show an
interest.
There was at one time a desire on
the part of some members of the com
mission not to hold the state fair this
wear, and this because of the war. but
with all the county fairs to be held il
would have seemed strange to have
Graham was emphatic in his expression
that the state fair should be held al
usual.
In France and England | understand
the customary fairs and expositions have
been held Just as if there was no war t.

Some Divisions Are COnsid-

for France at Once
BIG MOBILIZATION
BEGAN THIS MORNING
Troops Assembling Today Number Ap-
proximately 125, 5,000-Dcparture Over
seas Likely to Be Governed by Ship
ping Problem.

WASHINGTON, July 16. - Mobiliza
ton of the National Guard for war
service began today. While no orders
for embarkation of state troops for
France will be given until after Aug.
), when the entire force will be formal
" drafted into the United States army.
there are indications that some divisions
will be regarded as ready to board
transports soon after that date.
The first clause of President Wilson s
proclamation providing for the federal
ization Of the National Guard for the
war became effective yesterday. Actual
concentration of troops in their home
Iarmories or state camps began today.
Approximately one-half of the total
strength of the National Guard, or more
than 125,000 men is included in the
force assembling The first step in
their preparation has been to send to
the armorics additional clothing for
their trip to the divisional training
camps. 1t will he necessary to retain
guardsmen fer the protection of GER
tain munition works and other property
department commanders viii hold such
troops as they deem advisable for this
purpose.
! The next step in the general mobiliza-
tion will be tue ordering Of divisions
to camp sites already selected for them.
+, The most serious shortage of equipment
for the guard is in the artillery. For
training purposes the big gun regiments
undoubtedly will continue to use the
equipment they have supplemented by
such additional ordnance as the regular
iscrvice can spare.
Departure for France, it was indicat
ed today, will be governed by the ship
ping problem. War officials regard mans
divisions of the state troops as ready
now for the intensive training behine
the fighting line in France. There is n'
reason why some elements should no
90 forward at once except lack o
Transportation and the submarine men
ace.

BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT. MONDAY EVENING, 16 1917
SUMMARY

Although the movement of the Russian
infantry engaged in General Korniloff's
offensive in eastern Galicia is being ham
percd BY bad weather the Cossacks APP
parcntly have been able TO keep up their
dashing tactics.
This is indicated by report from
petrograd through Rome today that the
town of Dolina has been occupied bv
Russian forces. If this announcement
proves accurate it means an advance of
more than 80 miles for the Russians since
the opening OF the drive south of the
Dniester week ago At Kausz the
Russians were established on the west
crly bank of the Lomneka whence the
AustrianS had not been able to drive
them although heavy attacks had been
launched in the attempt.
An advance here means considerable
progress in the movement now under
way intended to throw the German army
back against the Carpathians. The Rome
report, indeed, declares that this already
has been accomplished
The hard fighting that has marked the
past few days along the French front in
Northern France still continues Last
night the Germans made a desperate at
tempt to regain the important posts
they lost when the French on Saturday
night took a strongly fortified position
i'm the vicinity of Mont Hart and tho
Teton in the Champagne The attacking
forces made no impression whatever on
the Teton and at Mont Haut they rccoy
cred only Il narrow foothold
! The French in local operations made
some progress on the Aisne front and
IrepuIscd several strong attacks near st
Quentin. Only raiding operations were
reported ON the British front.
