Part of the pigeons are from the

it was believer they had had too little

more than FIVE miles. They were re-

COMPTECNE OBJECT
OF NEW ATTACK
Capture of 1t Would Mean Distinct Ad.
vantage to the Germans As 1t
Would Open Up Lowlands.

London, June l0.--The new German
attack is directed Immediately against
Compiegne as part of the campaign
against Paris, according to virtually
unanimous comment here. In the opin-
ion of some commentators in the morn
ing newspapers, the section attacked is a
vital one because of the various detached
heights which lie across the head of the
valley of the Oise and its great railway
and road to Paris. Any important gain
in this division, it is remarked, would
bring the enemy out into the level coun-
try toward st. Lermont and enable him
to avoid a frontal attack on the forests
of Compiegne and Villers Cotterets, which
are of great value to the allies for de-
fensive purposes. Such a gain, it is held.
would probably compel readjustment
of the allied front between the Disc and
the Marne.
Another object of the new move is as
sumed to be an attempt to outflank the
French line in the Scissors sectro.

RAILROAD STATION BURNED.
Fairmont Station at East Montpelier
Laid Flat Saturday.

The Fairmont station at East Mont
pelier on the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad burned Saturday afternoon. The
cause is not yet known, but it is thought
that the fire was set from spark from
an engine on the mixed train which
passed short time before the fire was
discovered The building was burned fiat
by the time the westbound afternoon
mail came along, SO that there was no
trouble about the train getting by the
site.
The building was total loss but was
insured. Arthur Prescott lived over the
station. He lost his household effects,
including a piano and nearly all of the
family clothing, while the Patch Granite
lost a derrick and considerable
of their granite stock is damaged c. ).
Whittier of the company stated Sunday
that his lost viii be about $500. That
of Mr. Prescott will be little more than
that The loss to the rnilroad will
amount to about $1,000 and the insur-
ance is understood to be about 81 500.
The second story of the building was
burning briskly when the fire was dis
covered, so that the family were unable
10 get at their effects However. the
persons who gathered were able to get
most of the freight out of that depart
1ient of the station and most of the rec
,rds were saved To-day the company
vas completing arrangements for small
tation until their plans of reconstruc-
ion are made.

JOY RIDERS CLIPPED
OFF FENCE POSTS
Car Turned on It's Side and Two Mont.
pelier Young Men Were Taken to
Barre Hospital.

Two Montpelier young men, JOSEPH
Laird, son of Atty F. L. Laird. and
Hector Farnham, whose father is Fl. NJ
| Farnham, the horse buyer, are at the
| City hospital recovering from injuries re.
ceived in an automobile accident late
| Saturday night, when Cole touring car
driven by Farnham skated along the
edge of the highway just north of the
Smith stock farm on the Williamstown
road and then turned over Another
young man and young women who are
said to have been in the car escaped in
juries. The automobile is shelved in a
Jefferson street garage, where repair men
must restore two doors, the windshield
and the top before it is ready foranother
excursion.
OF the two, young Farnham is the
more seriously injured. He received a
bad blow on the head. The Laird boy
escaped with less painful consequences
and was reported to be resting comfort
ably to-day.
The automobile ride is said to have
had its inception in Howlasd hall, where
dance was in progress. AT intermis-
sion some of the dancers exchanged the
hectic glare of the dance hall lights for
cooler atmosphere outside. Not many
minutes after the all aboard signal had
been given in front of the Rowland
block, the Cole car was bowling comfort
ably along the road to Wiuiamstown. Near
the bend in the highway north of the
stock farm, the car started to take the
ditch on the east side. The driver quick
ly reversed the steering wheel and the
car shot toward the opposite side. It
rode the brink of the bank for few
yards, and then went over. Passersby
who viewed the scene of the accident,
said that the car took toll of eight fence
posts before it CAME to a. halt. The wire
bore no barbs.
Plenty Of help was available within a
few moments after the accident. Laird |

Ditsl and the young women were brought /
back to Barre. Garage men called for

Washington, d. c., June l0.--A me

that German submarines have employed
a shore base or have had touch with

SPLENDID RESISTANCE
Is Being Made By the French in the
Noyon Sector.

London, June l0.-(OffensiveI. The
French troops appear to be putting up a
splendid resistance to the Germans on
the Noyon sector, especially on the two
tanks of the attacking front where the
heaviest fighting continues. The Ger
mans have made some progress in the
center where they claim the capture of
the heights of Curry, while the French
admit the loss of the villages of Res
sons Sur Matz and Mareuil
1t was generally expected that the
German attack would come between
Noyon and Montdidier, thus seemingly
resuming the direct thrust for Paris.
Simultaneously with the bombardment
of the Noyon sector the British front
was subjected to a heavy fire, including
gas shells which seemed to herald another
attack. According to the latest ac-
counts no infantry attempt developed
against the British.

the allied lines. Southwest of Noyon,
however, they could not produce any ef-
feet on the determined troops holding the
front lines. The defenders were as firm
as rocks and held the enemy tightly in
check.
The Germans were able to make some
immediate progress because the allies re-
tired from the advanced positions which
constitute the first line westward from
Noyon. When the real line Of resistance
was reached, however, the enemy's ad
vance was checked and small counter at
tacks delivered Immediately by the allies
were successful in regaining ground.
In the center of the attacking front,
where the allied line was weakest, owing
to terrain conditions, the Germans were
able to reach Reasons Sur Matz and Ma
reuil.

Washington, d. c., June l0--A pro.

by Senator Jones of Washington as an
amendment to the Sll 100000 emergency
agricultural appropriation bill. 1t is de-
signed to meet President Wilson's obiec
tions to the Randall amendment, which
would prevent use of S6,000000 of the
appropriation unless the president should
exercise the authority to prohibit manu-
facture of beer and wine, 30 years after
passage of the bill, and, in addition, pro-
hibit the sale or manufacture of intoxi-

The present assault on the line east o.
Montdidier may be considered as com
plement of the offensive along the Aisne
and when the map is studied it will bt
seen that the "pincer" system followed
by Mackensen in Russia, Serbia and Ru'
mania is against new work. II the
thrust Just west of Noyon succeeds in
gaining extensive ground, it will ap-
proach the line from Soissons to Chateau
Thierry, and retirement from the posi-
tons taken up by the allies there would
be forced.
On the other hand, if the drive gains
ground further west, it will outhank the
positions held by the French and Ameri-
cans at Montdidier and compel their re-
adjustment with the result of anticipat-
ed uncovering of armies.
According to advices from the front,
the Germans have thrown more than
100000 men against the line, which meas
ures little over 20 miles in length. This
does not equal the numbers hurled
against the British before Cambrai on
March 81, nor is it such a concentration
of men as was used in the former often
sive in April, but it is menacing force,
to which may be added at any time the
full weight of the German reserves which
are believed to be massed somewhere
near.
American and French troops operating
northwest of Chateau Thierry repulsed
German attacks last night and made new
progress
A German attempt to assault the Brit
ish positions at Avelpy wood, north OF
Albert, was repulsed, while British raid
near Bethune, northwest of Lens, was
successful.
On the rest of the front there has been
no fighting of significant nature.
