importance. Some business done in

indicate that such manufacturers ex-
peet the war to continue through this
year. From other standpoints of fright

meEts to carry on the war, a shorter
period seems more likely.

TWO LOST DEER HUNTERS
John Insson and Frank Knapp Have
Been Missing Since Saturday Noon

Friends of John Ineson aud Frank
Knapp are somewhat anxious today
over the failure OF the two men, who
have been deer hunting in Glasten.
bury to put in an appearance. The
two men helped to make up a party
that located at Fishers camp on the
right hand fork of the Glastonbury
stream Friday with the intention of
returning TO Bennington on Sunday.
The last person TO see the missing
hunters was Louis Hon. a member of
the same party. who returned to Ben.
nington late Saturday. At that time
the two hunters were on top of the
mountain.
Fishers camp is about one and one
half miles beyond the terminus OF the
old Glastonbury railroad.
Men who are accustomed to tramp
the mountains say that there is little
cause for anxiety. as it is believed
that the missing hunters either trail
ed a deer too far to return Sunday
or they have stopped at some camp
for another days hunting.
4 party from this village, guided
by Louis Hon. left this afternoon TO
look up the two wanderers.
