Been Long Contemplated

LONDON, September lA-(Associat
cd Prcss)-In official reports which
were issued last night the German war
Office at Berlin denied serious fighting
yesterday. Earlier in the day it's com
mIniquc explained the evacuation of
st. MihieI as having been long CON

make mention of the German retirement
in that sector.
"The enemy did not renew his at
tacks between the Mouse and the Mo
selle, said last night S "ommunique.
The day official report of the retreat
said: "Our forces have evacuated the
st. Mihiel salient, falling. back during
the night upon positions which had been
previously prepared for them. The
retirement was completed without in
reference.
"This movement has long been con
templatcd for it has been recognized
that the salient was one which was
liable to cncirrIcment.
Official dispatches from Vienna said
that Austria Hungary was informed
that the retirement of the German
forces in the ST. Mihicl sector, south of
Combrez Heights has been completed
and that the retreat was carried out
EsybthdatiealE and in good order.

Solicitors continue to report pleasant
experiences encountered on their trips
throughout town; in fact. the unpleas-
ant experiences are so few as to lead
to the conclusion that 90 out Of every
roo people in Brattleboro are convinced
that the War Chest plan is the best
method of looking after war relief.
That its fame is spreading beyond the
town s borders is shown by the remit
tanees that are coming in from summer
residents. This morning 5 mail brought
one check for 500, another for $50 and
pledge for SO month. The persons
who sent them are giving generously to
war charities elsewhere. but wish to be
identified with Brattleboro 5 community
effort.
The campaign committee is anxious to
make report showing the number of
subscriptions of different sizes, but
thus far the clerical work connected with
the campaign has kept about dav
ahead of those who are trying TO handle
I it. Young women of the Patriotic
/ league are working at headquarters reg
ularlv, but the task of tabulating re
turns, handling remittances, answering
inquiries, ETC., has required so much
time that it has been impossible to pre-
pare any statistics. However, at the
close of the campaign if not before, 4
detailed statement of all these facts
will be issued.
