GOOD RESPONSE
TO VAR STAMP DRIVE
The Canvassing Will Continue During
the Remainder of the Week in
Barre.

Campaigners in Barre's end of the big
war stamp drive put in some strenuous
licks yesterday and the results were al
together gratifying, although directors of
the campaign said to-day that the quota
vigor must mark the conclusion of the
drive, Solicitors were busy to-day, and
while there may be lull tomorrow be-
cause of the holiday, the drive will con
tinue with unabated verve Friday, and
Saturday, if necessary. Nothing like an
accurate report of the progress thus far
made could be obtained to-day. When
night closed over the first day of the
drive, captains found the canvass so far
incomplete that they decided not to file
any partial returns, Responses on the
part of people solicited were almost in
variably patriotic, the canvassers say,
and they are looking forward to the com
pletion of their work with high hopes of
carrying Barre over the top.
The quota, as has been stated, is S2l4,-
600. 1t will require liberal investing on
the part of people with ordinary means
as well as those of more wealth to turn
the trick, but there is an undereurrent of
confidence in the campaign activities
which will carry the canvassers far. Yes
terday there was comparatively large
number Of 81 900 subscriptions, but more
are needed if the campaign is to be a
success. No one should forget that the
opportunity to exchange $4.ls for $5,
with the strongest security in the world
back of the investment, does not present
itself at every turn. It remains for
Barre to decide whether Washington
county's quota shall be met, and as it is
hoped to complete the canvass by Sat
urday night, there must be a quickening
of effort and response all along the line.

FRENCH POSITIONS
WERE IMPROVED
By Drive on Moulin-Sous-To -Toutvent Front
and Considerable Crowd of Prison
ers Was Taken.

Paris, July 3.-French troops last night
attacked the German positions along a
front of three kilometers north Of Mou-
lin Sous Toutyent and improved their po-
sitions.
West of Chateau Thierry, on the
Marne front, German counter attack
in the region of Vaux was checked by
the French fire. Other German attempts
to advance north of Moncel and in upper
Alsace were without result.
In the attack on the Moulin Sous
Toutvent front the French troops pene-
trated the German position to depth Of
800 metres. So far the number Of Ger
mans taken prisoners in this operation

TALK OF THE TOWN

One of the older residents of the city
recalls that 63 years ago this morning
there was hard frost. She was mar
ried 63 years ago yesterday and so re-
members particularly the conditions of
the next day.
Misses Hilda Martinson and Ella Scott
of Perrin street and Mildred Higgs OF
Prospect avenue left the city this fore
noon for Dixville, N. H., where they have
secured employment for tine summer
months at The Balsams. They were ac-
companied to Whitefeld, N. H., by the
Misses Mary Stephen, Ethel Ayers, Mar
garet Robertson and Ethel Higgs, who
have secured employment at the Noun
tain View house for the summer sea-
son.
Alarmed by the disappearance of a II
year old girl who made her home with
them, members of South Main street
family sent the police afield in search Of
her this morning at 5 o'clock. Additional
help was secured from the sheriffs de-
partment and it was mid-forenoon when
the girl who, it is said, had threatened
To drown herself, was discovered in the
woods at the rear of H. c. Leonard's
farm. While accompanying the officers
back home and later at police headquar-
ters she told rather an incoherent story
in accounting for her departure. After
ward, the police say, her disappearance
was partially explained by the fact that
she was compelled to repel the advances
of an intruder, a boarder, who appeared
in her room. Her experience, it was said,
induced hysteria and thereafter she was
not wholly responsible for what hap
pened. The police interviewed the board
er, who claimed that deep scratches
freshly inflicted on his face were due to
contact with barbed wire. The states
attorney is investigating the case, and
it il thought that the girl may be turned
over to the state director Of probation
and charities.

at the base OF. the German salient which
projects to the Marne, along the front to
the west of Soissons and on through the
American sector northwest of Chateau
Thierry.
The American troops on this Marne
front are holding on firmly to their gains
in the Vaux region. The French official
communique to-day reports the checking
of German counter attack in this area
Both official and unofficial reports agree
that no impression has been made by the
Germans upon the ground gained by the
allies in the recent fighting here.
Continuing their local attacks on the
mountain front, the Italians have gained
ground in the northwestern part OF
Monte Grapps, between the Brenta and
the Piaye. and taken nearly 600 prison
ers. Monte Grappa is the key position
between the rivers and is east of and
across the Brenta from the heights gained
Saturday and Sunday. East of Asiago
the Italians have captured 100 prisoners
bringing their total captures since Sat
urday to more than 2,700..
Important changes have been made in
the Austro Hungarian army command
probably as result of the grave result
along the Piave. General Won Below has
been appointed TO the supreme field com.
mand, while Field Marshal Ars Won
Straussenburg, the chief of staff, has
been replaced by General Krauss.
