SAINT ANNA FIRE IS
PUTOUTbYCREW
SHIP GOES ON
Brief Message From Captain Tells
Of Safety
SHIP AGENT SUSPECTS BOMB
Says that Efforts Have Been Made
To Destroy Other Ships of
Line.
SHIP AGENT SUSPECTS BOMB

New York, Sept l4-Tha Fabre
line steamship SAINT Anna, which
was on fire in midocean, is safe and
proceeding under escort to Azores, ac
cording to a wireless message reeeiv-
ed at the lines Office yesterday. The
message was from the captain of the
SAINT Anna and came by way of Cape
Race. 1t read Fire in hold 2. Fire
is out. Proceeding to Azores escort
ed to Ancona.'
This brief message was the first
word from the SAINT Anna in more
than II hours and relieved the anX
iety felt for the ships safety. The
SAINT Anna sailed from New York
Wednesday for Marseilles and Italian
ports with II first class. A second
class and 1903 steerage passengers.
Nearly all OF the latter were Italian
reservists.
Officials of the Fabre line, anxious
for more details of the fire on the lin
er, cabled to Captain Payey at the
Azores, asking him for full report
on the incident. The Sant' Anna will
probably reach the Azores tonight and
il is expected that Capt. Pavey will
then reply fully to the companys in
quiry.
Announcement was made that a
detective agency had been asked to
investigate conditions on the lighters
that took the cargo to the vessel
The manifest of the SAINT Anna made
public yesterday showed that the
steamer had hundreds of barrels of
cottonseed oil and lubricating oil as
well as many bags of paraline wax,
aboard, The intamable nature OF
this cargo added to the fears of oiilc.
ials for the safety of the vessel and
the messages from Capt. Pavey show.
ing that the fire was out was well
come news.
Several OF our vessels have been
set on fire recently" said Howard T..
Jones of the firm OF James II. Elwell.
agents for the Fabre line I'VE have
the vessels under the closet kind of
watch while in port, and no Germans
or Austrans were permitted on the
pier. We examined every piece of
freight offered as cargo, to guard
against bombs and Internal ma
chimes"

in exchange naturally disturbs and
must disturb commercial relations be
tween the countres-the United
States and Great Britain and France
-nasmuch as it makes ii so difficult
to see ahead what the rate of eX-
change will be; and moreover be
cause naturally it makes such a
material difference in the prices to
be received by the American and the
prices to be paid by the Englishman
and Frenchman.
There is Il consensus of opinion
that it is eminently desirable that
some step be made by which stabili-
ty of this exchange can be secured
You have here in the states very
large surpuses of foodstnffs and 9th
er material which you wish to ex-
port We, on the other hand, want
to import these goods, and to the com
mercial man nothing is more difficult
than to arrange fixed prices when
there is the instability such as we
have had recently in exchange.
I'VE cannot say more than that at
present but that generally reflects
our views on the situation"
Beyond this, Lord Reading and his
associates declined TO discuss the sit
uation. except to add that the com.
mission expected to occupy today its
headquarters in the New York financ-
ial district These will be at the
New York clearinghouse.
Aside from the financial situation,
Lord Reading announced that his
mission to the United States had nota
ing whatever to do with the adjust-
ment of any legal questions between
this country and Great Britain, as
had been reported.

SAILED TO FIGHT AUSTRIA
Bennington italian on Beard Burning
SAINT Anna

A Bennington man is on the ship,
SAINT Anna which has been on fire at
sea since yesterday. He is Vergilio
Nardazi, young Italian who left 120
Jefferson Avenue a few days ago to
join his regiment in Italy. t
Nardazi, who is 23 years old. and
unmarried is reported among the 1909
Italian reservists who sailed for Mar
sailles last week. He had been board
ing with countrymen on Jefferson
avenue for several months, and was
employed on local construction work.
When the Italian government issued
its last call for reserysts he left for
New York where he has since been
waiting the sailing Of the SAINT Anna.
Italian papers received in this city
this noon claim that there were 1900
Italians listed in the steerage who
were going home to fight. Nardazi eX
pected to transfer from Marsailes to
Naples and from thence to Palermo
where he was TO join his regiment.
The corps which includes his company
is to be detailed for service in the
Austrian Alps.
Nardazi is the first local Italian to
join his colors, but there are several
making their plans to go within a
month. 1t was stated at the home of
Carlo Detato ON Jefferson avenue
this noon that among those who will
leave in the immediate future is
Francesca Mute another rs year-old
Italian boy, who belongs to regi-
ment that may leave via Palermo for
service in the Dardenelles.

ANOTHER BACKWARD SEASON
Fifty-Six Years Ago Corn was d
Late Crop.

Ldlc CTOp.
"Forty-nine years ago today VIII
liam Mccarthy and wife came to
Bennington to make it their home
Mr. Mccarthy states that on the day
Of his arrival corn in some of the
fields had been cut ana set up, thus
showing that the seasons must have
changed since a half a century ago"
Editor of the Banner: ! clip the
above item from your weekly of Sept
s. 1915 On Sept. 3, 1859, CSC years
ago. | left my home in northern
Iowa to return to my native town of
Powna, VT A very severe frost Wis
tied us that morning that practically
destroyed all of the corn in that sec
ton and did serious damage in Wis
consin and Michigan,
The season in Iowa was backward,
opening with an early spring that en-
couraged early planting and the thrift
ty plants were cut to the ground by Il
severe frost the 7th day of June,
necessitating re-planting, and the sec
ond planting was retarded by erratie
weather containing many cold days.
Arrived in Vermont the Sth day of
Sept frosts had preceded me few
days but did not materially damage
here. Corn was not ripe and hut
little of it was harvested before the
Goth of the month. This merely
shows that the seasons are change
able and that one year. strictly speak
ing, is not like another.

London, Sept. 13-By one of those
battering offensives which, although
costly in men and munitions, have in
variably been successful, Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg's army has at
last set foot on the Rovno-Petrograd
railway between Wilma and Dvinsk.
The Austro-German forces have been
striving to gain this railway since the
fall Of the Polish fortresses.
The offensive, which began toward
the end of last week, was carried on
from three directions upon Dvinsk
and the railway on either side OF the
town, while further south the invad-
ers advanced toward Wilma. The Rus
SLAMS before superior forces supplied
with the usual mass of artillery were
yesterday forced back to the lake
district Which the railway penetrates
and are now making a stand there.
simultaneously the Germans push
ed their way eastward toward Slonim
and Pinsk, both of which are on
roads which join the main railway
line, while the Austrians, with whom
there are many German units, are
fighting hard to reach Boyno, the
southern terminus Of the line,
With this railway partly in the hands
of the Germans it is probable that the
Russians will be compelled to make
a further retirement although their
offensive in Galcia, which continues,
might save them by compelling the
Germans to send reinforcements to
this region.
There is now no doubt of Russian
successes in this district, as subse-
quent to the Austrian admission of
their retirement the Germans tonight
announce that after repulsing Rus
sian attacks they occupied favor
able position situated some kilomet-
ers west of our former position"
The conditions under which the
troops are fighting in the marshy
country in the center and on the
southern end of the line are describ-
ed by German correspondents as
most terrible The country is virtual
ly all under water through which the
Austro-Germans have to advance
against well prepared Russian posi-
tions. The eastern bank of the Ser
eth from which the Russians are de-
livering their counterattacks is a
veritable fortress from which the Rus
SLAMS emerge every time their oppon-
ents approach, taking heavy toll of
them in killed. wounded and prison
ers. According to the Russian ac-
counts nearly 10000 prisoners have
been taken in the fighting along this
rive:.

They were football masterpieces be-

pick up the ball instead Of having to

scoring from tumble were very great

developing his ability. He worked all
by himself on dry fields. on wet fields.

the slippery pigskin. and he mastered
1t all too. Certainly that wasn't luck"
