SARATOGA SPRINGS. y. V. July 20.
With the eyes Of the political leaders
II state and nation focused on its DELHI
crations, the New York Republican state
convention suddenly aud unexpectedly
adjourned yesterday, leaving unanswered
many questions to which replies were
eagerly awaited
Chief among these was whether Col
Theodore Roosevelt would consent to en-
ter the race for the goyernorship this
fall. The prevailing belief a. the dele
gates left for their homes was that he
would. But in tire absence of any au-
thentic statement from him the party
managers Of all factions were as much at
sea as ever.
The convention marked the first APP

PIGEONS AIDED THE FRENCH.
Carried Messages Which Directed the
Smelling of German Masses.

ON THE FRENCH FRONT, July lS |
ASSOCIATED Press One of the principal |
elements which worked toward bringing
the German offensive to a halt was the
splendid cooperation Of the transport
and information services In Champagne,
motor truck drivers passed four days and
nights without a moment repose in bur
rying troops from one section of the line
to another, wherever most needed, and
conveying tens Of thousands of men, Of
ten under heavy fire
The role of the carrier pigeon proved
most important in the Champagne fight
ling, where the French advance posts were
often cut off from the main body and
possessed only this means of eommuni-
cation. The birds constantly brought back
messages keeping the staff informed CON
corning the movements of the Germans.
In one instance pigeon brought
request that the French artillerymen
open fire on a position occupied by their
own comrades, because the Germans were
surrounding them in dense masses The
gunners complied moving lanes in the
German waves Their wonderful accuracy
| of aim spared their comrades, many of
whom afterward were able to make their
way back
| The admittedly enormous losses of the
| Germans during the crossing Of the Marine
must have been fully equaled in the Cham
payne sector. where their assauting waves
hurled themselves vainly against deep bar
riers Of barbed wire under the fire Of hun
dreds of machine guns
At noon on Monday, when the Germans
were bringing forward reserve divisions
in the neighborhood Of the Moronviller
range Of hills, the French gunners got
their exact range with telling effect.
When the smoke cleared. great heaps Of
dead and wounded men and horses were
plainly visible on the slopes Of the hills.

VERMONT W. S. S. NOTES.
vt. Junior High School Pupil Wins
Prize For National w. S. S. Poster.


Not only has the war savings stamp
idea taken a firm hold on Vermont people
IN a financial way, but it has claimed the
attention OF many along special construc-
tive lines. For instance, pupil III one
OF the Junior high schools of Vermont
has received one of the four first prizes
offered by the National war savings com
mlttee for best w. 5. s. posters submit
ted by pupils of junior high schools. For
the purpose OF this contest the United
States was divided into four sections, west
ern, mlddie-western, eastern, and south
e1n; so Vermont was brought into com
petition with New York and all New
England. The winning posters in each di-
vision were sent to Washington and a
ribbon is to be awarded for the best of
the four.
That the people of Vermont are awake
to the financial side of the campaign is
Indicated by their purchase of well toward
half million dollars worth of war savings
stamps during the week ending July 6,
The exact amount bought was $4lS,6T.-
%, bringing the states total investment
to Sl,6SS, 1922, with per capita pur-
chase of S4.74 Caledonia county is still
far ahead in the campaign, having bought
per capita of $6.94 However, Wash
ngton, Windsor, and Rutland counties
| have bought a greater total than Caledo-
MIA, the three counties coming in that
| order in per capita investment The 9th
or ten counties come along in the follow
ing order: Bennington, Windham, Orange,
| Addison, Orleans, LamoilIe, Franklin,
| Chittenden, Essex, and Grand Isle.
| 1t is expected that there viii be large
purchase of stamps outside of the amounts
pledged during the recent intensive cam
paign, because many people may not have
been solicited for that drive At the
same time those who pledged to purchase
definite amounts before the end of the
year 1918 are urged to do so as soon as
possible in order to avoid the rush anC
confusion of the closing weeks Of the ma
tional campaign in December.
Besides that Vermont should be fa
up in the list Of states going '.over tn,
top early. The last statement given on
IN Washington placed Vermont Saith il
in the list of states according to per cap
Ita investment Make your pledged pur
chases early and boost Nermont's position
