the much needed rain which fell steadi

in the county, q were represented
by delegates. The reports of the Of
ficers showed a substantial gain in all
departments of Sunday school work
which was very gratifying after the
slight failing off of the work as re-
ported for the previous year.
There were a number OF good dis
cussions, addresses and conferences
held during the day, covering every
part of Sunday school endeavor. The
feature of the afternoon session was
the demonstration OF missionary dra-
mates rendered by the junior de-
partment of the Bennington Baptist
church under the direction of Miss
Martha Pratt.
At the evening service, Rev. c. w.
Turner OF North Bennington led the
devotional period which was followed
by tho principle address of the con
vention, The Power of Pull To
gether" by Rev. Charles A. Boyd of
Burlington. The stereopticon lecture,

London, Oct 17-G. f. Seward,
correspondent of the Daily News at
Rotterdam telegraphs under date of
midnight Thursday:
"Zcehrugge, which from a military
point of view is the most valuable
port Of Belgium, was entered by tho
Germans today. Communication with
Ieebrugge and Dunkirk has been cut
and the German flag has been hoist
cd on the whole Dutch frontie."
It is probable that the force of Bel
gians and British from Ostend have
been Joined to the allied force which
entered Belgium from northern
France. General Joffre is striking
vigorously in this district and the
fear that the Germans might seize
Dunkirk is lessened.
The lighting at the extreme east
takes on new importance with the
movement toward Metz and the in.
creased French offensive along the
Meuse. II seems that the pressure
against the barrier fort-esses has not
only been relieved. but that the
French. by striking towards Metz. are
threatening anew the safety of the
Crown Princes army in the Agonne
forest If the allied center can go
forward while the offensive against
Metz gains ground. the Crown Prince
may be separated from other German
armies
The lighting in the north Ga
France has been decidedly in favor of
the Allies and there is little likeli
hood of the Germans reaching Dun
kirk or Calais unless they can bring
to bear heavy achievements The
news today showed that General Jof
fro is acting vigorously. He has
reached the North sea at point
probably near Nieuport and holds
southwestern Belgium, while con
tinuing to advance his force toward
Lille. From every point of view the
situation in northern France and
along the Belgian frontier is favor
able to the Allies.
The French hold Albert and Arras
while advancing toward the north
east one French army corps has
captured thirty-six field guns. The
Germans are continually receiving re
Inducements. but the Allies also are

tertained at Thanksgiving dinner in
honor Of the fifty-seventh anniversary
of their marriage.
Mr.. and Mrs. WINERY are both old
residents Of this county, having set
tied on a farm just one-quarter of a

1865. They lived in the Bangor neigh

they moved to this city.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Winery are

sonal Injury" was the subject % MI.
Davis interesting paper. It did NOT
deal so much with the state law itself
as with the conditions that exist In
industries and manufacturing that
have brought about the need of some
such legislation. Mr.. Davis explained
clearly the contradictory and confusing
rules that have been established by
courts In the Jurisdiction OF personal
injury cases. Very much OF this 1uris-
diction had resulted in unfairness and
inequality to both the employer and
employe. he said.
Mr.. Davis has no objection to the
law, but he does not approve OF the
compulsory insurance provisions or the
law. He thinks q better scheme would
have been plan for cooperative in
demnity and insurance by which tho
employer would contribute the larger
part OF the indemnity fund. but to
which the employe would have to con-
tribute part, however small.
Mr.. Davis read some rather startling
statistics OF personal injuries. He said
the Northwestern's damage account for
1919 for personal injuries amounted to
100000. During the same year the
number killed and injured on the rail-
roads of the country numbered 6l.-
09S.
Most interesting perhaps Of his talk
were details from personal experiences
and investigation Of successful and UNI
successful attempts to Inulct railroad
companies by PERSONAL injury cases
brought by employees. 1t was all Illus
trative Of the need OF legislation to
govern the sediment OF claim for per-
sonal injury.

Home at Last

Mrs. Il. G. Huber, sic North First

to land at New York Dec. or 4.
In the early weeks Of the war Mr..
Huber twice sent his wife money thru
the state department at Washington

at Copenhagen. Mono OF the money
was delivered, however, until Oct. ~.
and not until after Mr.. Huber COM
planned In person to Secretary OF state
Bryan, when the secretary spoke In
this city while campaigning.
The route the ship Mrs. Huber IS
on lies far north OF the peninsula OF
Denmark. along the south shore of
Sweden and north OF Scotland. then
across the north Atlantic. in order to
avoid mines laid by the nations at
war.
