Hose Company Engineered Elaborate
Spread Wednesday Evening

In the opinion of those who attend
ed the dinner held Wednesday even
ing by the members of the Putnam
hose company was one of the most
elaborate affairs of the kind in the
recent history of the community.
The credit for the unusual success of
the affair is not due to any particular
member or members Of the company.
but to the organization, as every indi-
vidual who could possible spare the
time. had a share in the work.
The banquet, both in its prepare
tion and its service. would have been
credit to much larger organizat-
ion than a Bennington hose company.
The vlands were prepared at the
homes of different members of the
company and the cooking was all that
could have been desired.
The bill of fare was made up as
follows: Roast turkey, roast little
pig, potatoes. turnip. cranberry sauce.
cabbage salad, chicken salad, rolls
coffee. cheese, pickles, celery, apple
and pumpkin pie, cigars.

WENT DOWN WITH SHIP
Nephew Of Burlington Woman Lost
Lite OF Chilean Coas.

Among those who were lost when
the British ship MonmoutlI went
down In the battle with the German
feet off the Chilean coast was George
Smitch. nephew of Mrs Fred Fox of
Burlington. The boy was but 10
years of age and an orphan. There
is no hope that he escaped, for at the
time of the battle blizzard was rag
ing and no small boat could live H.
such sea. The German ships saw
the boat list and finally sink about
the time that the explosion wa
heard aboard the Good Hope.
The lad was in the band and until
the Monmouth sailed was stationed
on one of the ships which were sent
to the North sea. His relatives were
therefore intensity pleased when the
transfer came and he was sent 10
what appeared a place of compare
tive safety. The first Mrs. Fox knew
OF his death was when reports of the
battle came in, and after that came
word from England. where his name
was given as one OF the lost.
In addition TO her nephew, Mss. Fox
has many other relatives in the Brit
ish navy but all were alive at the last
reports. She has one uncle and four
cousins, all in the North sea, but on
different ships. She has also a step
brother in the artillery which is at
the front in France and another step
brother who is stationed on the Ac-
tive. a monitor which has taken an
active part in the bombardments
along the coast. A nephew, she learns
has recently enlisted and is now at
Portsmouth. so that the family al
home has pretty nearly been reduced
to women and children.
Mr.. Fox also has his side represent.
ed and now has a nephew in India
and a brother-in-law with the British
army in France. He lost brothe,
in the Boxer uprising in China.

Washington Nov 27.-The lack OF
restraining and responsible authority
in Mexico is greater today than at
any period in the last four years of
Mexican revolts according TO advices
reaching here today.
Late reports received officially an
nounced that the town of Panuco, in
the heart of the Tampico oil district,
had been evacuated by Carranza
forces fearing the approach of Villa
troops and that the town was taken
possession of by irresponsible irregu-
lars declared to be no better than
bandits. Looting of stores and houses
in the town has already occurred.
The United States has the monitor
Ozark in the Panuco river at Tampi-
co and it is thought ii will be moved
up the river as close as possible to
Panuco.
II was thought probable tonight
that appeals would be made TO the
United States on behalf of the Bri,

in that district to land blue jackets to
protect the immensely valuable oil
properties there, but the present ind.
cations are that such an appeal viii
be refused by the administration.

PRESIDENT TAKES
STEPS AGAINST
AIR BOMBS
When Used Against People Not
Under Arms
he FAV0RS CERTAIN LIMITATIONS
President Wilson Makes Inquiry in
Certain Cases Where Americans
Have Suffered
he FAVORS CERTAIN LIMITATIONS

Washington, Nov. 2S.-President
Wilson has communicated unofficially
to the diplomatic representatives of
the United States in the belligerent
countries of Europe his disapproval
Of attacks by bombs from aircraft
dropped on unfortified cities occupied
by noncombatants The president was
careful not to take the matter up Of
ficially and did not even make his
communication through the state de-
partment, but personally addressed
the American ambassadors abroad.
The president took his course, it be
cams known yesterday. nearly two
months ago. The facts came TO light
through the publication of report
that the president had discussed the
matter with European diplomats in
Washington. This, however. was de-
MED by some of the prominent diplo-
mats mentioned in connection with
it, including the German ambassador
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were TO convey President Viii
sons feeling in the matter to the for
eign governments had not been dis
closed, as White House officials in
the absence of the president declin-
ed TO discuss the subject. II is be-
lieved in Washington, however that
the president called attention to the
article in the league convention of
1907, to which all the principal belli
gerents are signatory. which provides
for notice of "a hours before bonn
bardment or attack in order that non
combatants may remove themselves
from the danger zone. Whether there
have been any unofficial responses
from the belligerents was not known
in Washington yesterday, but Ameri-
can diplomats were instructed by the
president, it was said, to handle the
matter with such discretion and deli
cacy. as would tend to end aerial at
tacks without notice and at the same
time preserve the friendship which
the United States feels toward all The
belligerents involved
1t is believed that the president did
not mention any specific violation.
but expressed his views on the gene
al subject Of aerial attacks. Through
the unofficial character of the com
munication it was intended by the
president to induce a better under
standing about aerial warfare with
out actually involving the American
government in the matter. II is sup
posed the American diplomats used
their good Offices consequently in
personal way with the belligerent
governments without perhaps even
mentioning the fact that they were
doing so at the request of the presi.
dent, as such methods of obtaining
desired result are not unusual in dip
lomacy.
