MRS. FRANK NJ. CRAWFORD
Estln' able Woman Resident Passed
Away Early This. Morning.

Agnes j. S.one, daughter of the
late Seymour Stone OF Bennington
and wife Of Frank NJ Crawford, died
at her home on Park street early this
morning. after long and painful ILL.,
ness. Mrs. Crawford had been in
failing health for the past three years
and had been confined to her bed
during the past few weeks. Her suf-
fering at times was intense but she
was uncomplaining and so long as
she was conscious maintained an un.
failing interest in her home and her
friends. Her appreciation of every
act of kindness on the part of her
neighbors and attention TO her com
fort will long be remembered
Mrs. Crawford was in her 59th year
at the time of her death and for a
quarter of century her home had
been the house in which she passed
away. Both the interior and the ex.
terror radiated her homeloving per
sonality She was passionately fond
Of flowers and each season the abund-
ance of bloom that responded to her
painstaking care and which was so
freely distributed to her acquaintances
made her garden one OF the beautiful
spots in the village.
An only child she left few surviv-
ing relatives, but her neyer-faillng
generosity, her sympathy for all who
were afflicted and her thorough hon
esty OF act and thought had endeared
her TO many who will learn OF her
death with the deepest regret.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed but the service
will probably be held from the house

New Action Started in Balkan
Area.
1000 PRISONERS TAKEN
Allied Success in Albania Cause Ner-
vousness in Ferdinand's
Troops.

Washington. July 1l,-An official
dispatch to the Italian embassy at
Washington yesterday from Rome
said that the Italian and French
troops in their offensive in Albania
which is continuing, have captured
1000 prisoners, including so officers,
several airplanes and much war ma
tcriai
Successes won by the allied troops
in Albania, according TO a London
dispatch, will add seriously to th2
troubles of the Austrians. They were
won by fresh. determined action in
the Balkan area. where any military
success must always have immediate
and valuable political reaction.
The line on Which fighting is going
on at present runs from the River
Devole to the Adriatic,i distance oil
over 70 miles. In ADDITION to the
French and Italian troops engaged in
the battle, Albanian troops, under
Essad Pasha are fighting against the
Austrians and because of their famili
arity with the country, are in posi-
ton to give valuable assistance.
Although the region of the allied
advance Is 10 miles from the Salonik
front. there are already signs OF
nervousness among the enemy troops
in that area. The advance in Al
bania Is a serious threat to the righ;
flank of the Bulgar armies in the
region of Monastir. This is evident
ly appreciated by the enemy and il
will have, too, the effect of bringing
TO the side of the allies many from
the hill tribes, which are among the
finest fighters in the world. Every
fresh success Of the allies win hasten

in revolt against their Austrian
A further short advance will bring
the allies to Berat. the chief town OF
southern Albanian. and IL is signifi
cant the Austrian official statements
admit the progress of the French an i
Jtaliars.
The text Of the official statemen,
issued by the Austrian war office las
night reads;-
In the Brenta valley our reserve
troops repulsed an Italian advance.
"In the face OF pressure from
