The fortunes of war bring some strange
stories to light \ grandson of Austin
Corbin, the millionaire railroad magnate,
has fallen at the front near St Mihiel,
pierced through the head by a German
bullet while fighting for France. The
young man was Andre Cherennot Cham
pollion. His mother was the wife of a
French nobleman Andre Champolion was
an artist and usually lived for six months
of the year at his home in Newport, n.
H., spending the remainder of his time in
travel abroad. He was graduated from
Harvard with the class of 1902, and was
married about six years ago to Miss AIDE
laide Knox, a daughter of John J. Knox,
at one time comptroller of the currency
of the United States. When the war
broke out MIR. Champollion believed that
it was his duty, even though he was an
American citizen, to respond to the call to
arms OF France. He was then at his home
IN New Hampshire, and it is understood
French soldier for the reason that his
grandfather was a noted general in the
army OF France. He sailed for France
the first week in August and his wife
followed him to Paris some time later
She returned to this country three weeks
ago and is now at the home of her mother
in Red Bank, n j., where the news o.
her husbands death reached her this

Prof. William B Bailey of Yale, widely
known sociologist who has made special
study of the rural church problem, cut
loose at a gathering Of clergmen in New
Haven, declaring that Connecticut is over
churched and that more community
churches and fewer sectarian churches are
needed. His remarks are applicable to
numerous rural sections of New England.
In many small towns three or four
churches of different denominations main
tain a precarious existence, where one
centralized church generally supported

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
AT THE PRINCESS MONDAY.
William Farnum in Great Film Produc
ton, The Sign of the Cross.

One Of the greatest spectacular subjects
ever produced on the screen will be Of
Tered in William Farnum in Wilson Bar
Tett's world-famous drama. The Sign of
the Cross, to be shown at the Princess
theatre Monday This dignifed and beau
tlful production of the soulstirring play
that has been produeed with universal
success throughout the world is in FIVE
parts, and is undoubtedly the foremost
film classic over produced in America.
For many years the original play has
fascinated the imagination and swayed the
emotions of audiences throughout the civil
lzed world as has no other drama of its
type, and 1t can be conservatively stated
that with the added scope OF the motion
picture and the thrilling camera effects
impossible in a stage version. the subject
attaches renewed and increased appeal
The part of Marcus Superbus. the domi-
nant character in the powerful play, is
mpressively portrayed by William Far
mum, one of the foremost actors of classi-
cal roles on the American stage. who is
eminently fitted for the part in The Sign
of the Cross. A notable cast has been Sc
lected IN his support and hundreds OF
supers, a series of overwhelmingly beauti
full settings, and a tableaux of effectively
dramatic scenes further aid the produc
ton in being one of the most exceptional
film subjects ever offered. The degree OF
power and emotional appeal Of the drama
is almost immeasurable, and it should ex
ert a tremendous effect upon the feelings
OF all audiences that witness it.-Adv.

Raise More Grain.
BENNINGTON Banner. }

Every farmer in Vermont should
raise as much grain as possible. The
war is sure to make prices high and
there will he a market for every bush
ell of wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley.
mont the prices of feed next fall are
likely TO be so high that the long
headed farmer will do well to raise
what he wants and as much more as
possible The records of the United
States government show that Vermont
soil win produce more spring wheat
per acre than the best wheat soils Of
Minnesota, Dakota or Iowa so why
should've Vermont farmers this year
each sow a few acres of wheat Much
wheat was raised here in the early
history Of the state and it is good
time to try the crop again.

SUIT
FOR $4,000

ant i'm the Case
PLAINTIFF is
CONSTRUCTION co.
It Is Alleged That Thompson Obtained
$3.50 by Fraudulent Representations
Other Suits in Connection with
Power Project

MlDDBEBURY, April 17-Suit has
been brought by the Boston Construction
company of Boston, Mass, against Charles
II. thompson of Montpelier, returnable to
the Washington county court, asking
SlO,0OO damages for obtaining from the
Construction company $3.50 since Janu-
airy OF this year by fraudulent represen-
tations.
In January and February, 1914, Mr..
Thompson purchased an old mill and
water power privilege at East NIiddlebury
and some lands on the Middlebury river
in Middlebury and Ripton, and after
wards conveyed the same to the Bread
| Loaf Mountain Power company, which
proposed to build high dam on the
| Middlebury river, and construct a hydro
| electric power plant capable of producing
10000 horse power. 1t seems that Mr.
Thompson intended to organize com
pany with very large capital and the
requisite capital was to be furnished by
Boston parties. On February 10 last tn,
Bread Loaf Mountain Power company re
conveyed the property to Charles Fl
Thompson and on March a. Amasa c.
Gould, a lawyer of Boston, by his attor
ney brought suit against the Bread Loa
Mountain Power company and Charles II
Thompson, asking $4,000 damages
which are not itemized or explained Of
the writ. On April s. the Boston Con
Istruction company, which was to bulk
the dam and hydro-electric power plant
sued Charles H. Thompson in trespass OF
the case for obtaining cash advances b,
various false representations as to tn
ownership OF lands and flowage rights.

ALLIED FORCES NOW ATTACKED
ON TWO SIDES.

London, Dec 8.-The situation IN the
Balkans is developing rapidly. Inc
Germans and Bulgarians reached kenaIl
on the Greek border, ten miles outh OF
Monastir, thus threatening to outtlank
the Anglo-French forces, while Bulgars,
who also are supposed to be led by
Germans, have attacked the allies ex-
IRENE right wing near Strumitsa
Under this pressure the French have
withdrawn from the krivolak salient and
at last accounts had taken up position
at Demirkapou in a deep gorge about
twenty miles from the Greek frontier,
through which the Saloniki railway runs.
Here they were attacqed by the Bulgar-
ians who, according to the French re-
ports, were repulsed.
Allies May Drop Near East Plans.
The plans of neither allies nor the
Germans are yet quite clear, but appar-
emily the Germans are determined on
crushing the little force which went to
the assistance of tbe Serbians and which
has been and is still being reinforced.
The retirement of the allies to Demirka-
pou has led to the report that they in
tend to abandon the Balkan enterprise
entirely but the continued landing of
troops at Saloniki would seem to deny
any such intention while there is a very
strong military opinion here that Sd
loniki should be held as base for flu
ture operations in the near east.
Germans Score In West Theatre.
There is little news from the other
fronts. The Germans have scored a
minor success in Champagne, where they
captured about 500 yards of trench,
part of which, however, has been re-
gained the British have received rein
forcements at Kut-Elamara, where they
are making their stand after the retreat
from Ctesiphon and the Italians who for
the last two weeks have been on the of
fensive, are now engaged in meeting the
Austrian counter attacks.
The expected offensive of the allies in
Gallipoli apparently did not materialize
while throughout Russia the wintry
weather has put a stop to all but small
ventures.
