Paris, Aug. l6 The French troops

ment to-day. The French progress was

FRENCH ARE SLOWLY
ENCIRCLING ROYE
Stubborn Resistance By the Germans Is
Being Crushed By the
French.

Paris, Aug. l6.--l p. m.-Roye is be-
ing held in vise-like grip by the
French. Stubborn resistance by the
Germans is being crushed by the French,
who slowly are encircling the town.
The French advance at Villers.les-
Roye makes the fall Of Roye inevitable,
1t is believed by military men. Posses
sion Of the town by French troops would
make necessary a rectifcation of the
German lines and an enemy retreat to
the Eesle-Noyon would be probable.
The Germans are elinging desperately
to range Of hills east Of Ribecourt.
They also are stubbornly defending the
Lassigny -Oise canal, the loss Of which
would entail the evacuation Of Noyon.

Total production of vegetable seed
with the exception of cabbage, lettuce,
satisfy, and turnip, will be ample FOR
the needs Of the coming year, according
to preliminary returns from the seed
production survey Of July /, 1918, and
crop reports from important commercial
seed growers. In some cases where the
condition of crops is not satisfactory
increased acreages are expected to bring
the total production up to normal, while
more than normal production Of seed
is indicated for some kinds Of vegeta-
bles. This condition, it is pointed out,
does not necessarily mean large sur
plus, for it is known that large or
ders have been placed for certain vegeta-
BILE seeds by foreign concerns for export
to countries in Europe which formerly
have been exporters of these seeds to

ALL MEN IN SERVICE
EXEMPT FROM POLL TAX
Board of Civil Authority Abates Taxes
Assessed in Barre This
Year.

Soldiers and sailors who are fighting in
the war against autocracy once more are
exempt from poll taxes if they are regis.
tered in Barre, as the result of action
taken by the board of civil authority at
its meeting for the abatement of taxes
IN the court room at city hall last even
ing. The obvious purpose of the board is
to exempt every soldier and sailor fight
ing with the allies, although the motion
made by Alderman J. A. Healy and
unanimously adopted would automati-
cally relieve American soldiers and sail
ors from the poll tax, while in cases
where Barre men are fighting with other
allied nations the same exemption is to
obtain The rule applies to all men who
have entered the service before Aug Is,
1918.
All told, 20 cases were considered by
the Is members of the board who as
sembled In some instances relatives of
men who are with the colors appeared to
ask exemption for them. Two of the
largest rebates orderde concern local dry
goods stores. A. P Abbott appeared for
A. p, Abbott & Co. to ask for rebate
on $1,000 and William T. Rees, repre-
senting the Homer Fits Co., requested
rebate on $3.50, part of which, he
said, represented an error in bookkeep-
ing. The cases were variously discussed
and then the rebates were granted as re-
quested
A large number of poll tax cases were
brought to the attention Of the board
and in some instances lengthily consid-
cred. Mrs f. G. Rogers asked that her
son, Ralph Rogers, divinity student, be
granted abatement on his poll tax, as
the authorities in New Haven, Conn.,,
where he attends college, are intent on
taxing the college students. While agree
ing that the appellant acted wholly IN
good faith, the board questioned the
right of the New Haven authorities to
tax college students who claim their
homes elsewhere, and the case was dis
missed. Other poll tax cases were dealt
with as follows; George Durkee, illness,
abated; Archie Simonds, soldier, rebated
Bernard Corcoran, illness, abated; Alfred
Morgan, illness, request for extension
granted; Frank Cayia, over 10, abated;
Said Corey, not 81, abated; Alex Rennie,
soldier, abated; James Morgan, in
France, abated; III Emo, illness, abated;
T. Giuddui, illness, rebated William J.

Every Indication the Germans Intend to

London, Aug, is Thursday The
Withdrawals on the western front by

Military observers say there is every
indication the Germans intend to stand
on their present line. There is pos
sibility, however, that they may fall
back to the Divette, small tributary of
the oise and which joins it south Of
Noyon The French now hold all the
high ground in that region.
1t is said the British are so close to
Chaulnes that the enemy cannot use the
town. Almost all the rail communica-
tions in the Peronne region have been
