WHY HUN DRIVE
WAS STOPPED
Allies Developed the Counter
Offensive As Answer to Leap
Frog Tactics.

LONDON, July 26-Germany's
breakdown in her last offensive proves
to military observers hat the allies
can smash the German lines and push
the Huns back to their own border.
There is no basis for this pessi-
mistic view.
II the present German tactics had
been used In 1914 the Germans could
never have been stopped at the Morne:
they could have swept all northern
France to the sea.
Germans present tactics have failed
because allied tactics have developed
faster than have those of the Hun.
German drives now begin at points
fifty miles or more behind the battle
line. Divisions move forward on q
clocklike schedule, now faster, now
slower, at the same timo keeping ND
a wheellike revolving movement go
that the divisions moving the fastest
pass those which are slowing down
for a rest, and those which are rested
gradually march again md quicken
their pace until thoy in turn arc paFs-
in those now due for a short respite.
"Leapfrogging," the allies have
named the German trick.
At the same time the Huns have de-
veloped wonderfully the art Of. cam
moving troops.
The combination Of perfected CAM
outage and the "leapfrog'' march ao-
counts for the Hunnish ability to move

Menette and Rintintin Are

tiers at Present time.

PARIS, July 26:-who are the
two most popular characters in
Paris?
We knew you'd say Foch and
Pershing!
Not so. They are Nenette and
Rintintin.
Nenette is a droll little woman with
a very red face, a very green bodice
and a very funny scarlet skirt.
Rintintin's face is just as red and
his taste for harmonious colors just
as good. Only he wears baggy trous-
ers instead of a skirt.
Like Siamese twins, they are eter-
nally attached to each other by a bit
} of colored worsted. Both are an incl
or two tall and are made of q few
scraps of wool and some silk thread.
If you are a woman you wear then
around your neck, and IL a man you
hide them shamefacedly in you poe
ket.

lNenette and Rintintin will protec
you against the long-range gun tina

that they render you immune from
airplane bombs.
Still, you wear Nenette and Rintin
: tin always on your person. Serious
minded business men are more likel,
to forget their cigar-cases or thei
coats than Nenette and Rintintir
when they rush for shelter as thu
shells cream owe Paris.
You must not buy them. II you
do, they are not only 10 protection,
but are a positive danger. The occult
authorities agree that they must be
made by the feminine-always femi-
nine person, who gives them to you.
Soulless tradesmen have copied
them in ivory and other precious
materials and are offering them for
sale, but they are spurious. A bit of

SOME TOWNS REFUSED COAL
Several Orleans County Towns Re-
fused Further Coal Shipments.

A number of towns in Vermont
have been cut off from securing an
thracite coal in consequence of orders
issued from Washington. These are
apparently places where the depart
ment is of the opinion there is suf-
fcient amount of wood to be had to
supply the need of fuels These towns
which can get no coal are Bakersfield,
Bartonsville, Boltonville, Centervale,
South Newbury, Coventry, East Clar-
endon, East Hardwick, East Poultney,
East st. Johnsbury, East Swanton,
Fairfax, Ferrisburg, Fitzdale, South
Barre, South Hero, Stockbridge, Sum-
nit, Sunderland, Sutton, Taftsville,
West Alburg, West Danville, West
Rutland, Whiting, West Townshend,
Willoughby, Wolcott, Franklin, High
gate, Greensboro, Hollister, Inwood,

ter junction, McIndoes Falls, Middle
sex, Montgomery Center, Moretown,
New Haven Junction, Northboro,
North Sheldon, North Troy, Pompa-
noosuc, ST. George.
The most serious situation that
Vermont has faced in many years is
indicated by the announcement of
w. G. Hastings, state chief forester,
that only about one-tenth of the nor
cords, is available. This is based on
returns made to Mr.. Hastings from
the town listers. Taken in conjunc-
tion with the allotment of anthracite
coal for this state this coming Win
ter, namely 100000 gross tons, the
seriousness of the situation is plain.

To Clean up the Beach Saturday.

Unsightly stumps, stones and de-

has been decided to have bee of all
those interested on Saturday afternoon

and put the place in more orderly,
slightly and cleanly condition for the
large number of visitors and bathers
who visit this beach during warm
weather.
r. P. Webster and F. D. Pierce will
act as committee to whom, those
who will offer their services Saturday
afternoon may report as to what they
can give in the way of labor, teams or
tools. Already several have volun-
teered and if those who can assist
will report it will save unnecessary
duplication of tools and effort.
The move is splendid one and de-
serves the hearty cooperation of our
townsfolk.

Soldiers in France Need More Books.

The Barton Public Library has re-
ceived a request from the American
Library Associations headquarters
in Washington for ore books from
this community for the men overseas.
The appeal from Washington states
that new novels and good Western
tories, whether new or old, are most
needed. Books by Zane Grey, Rex
8each, Jack London, Ralph Connor,
Owen Wister and o. Henry are very
popular. The public library announc-
IS that it will receive and forward all
suitable books that are turned in. It
urges the friends of the soldiers and
sailors, many of whom have already
responded most generously, to give
more books.
The communication received by the
library from the Washington head
quarters states that over 600, 900 books
have been sent overseas. The supply
is nearly exhausted, and several hun
dred thousand more will be needed soon
by the six dispatch offices which are
now shipping books to France. The
books are packed at these dispatch
offices in strong cases, so built that
they serve as a bookcase
