eoLDlEHs LEFT THIS MORNING
After Eneampment on Soldiers Home
Grounds In March to Ethan Allen


The four troops OF cavalry who
reached Bennington Saturday neon
on their march to Fort Ethan Allen
and spent Saturday and Sunday
nights encamped on the Soldiers
Home lot broke camp at seven
o'clock this morning and continued
their march to winter quarters at
Essex Junction.
Bennington presented them with
some freakish weather, during their
short stay, but the men did not seem
to mind either wind or rain They
enjoyed themselves on the village
streets and in the movie shows Sat
urday evening and were as well-be-
haved lot of khaki boys as ever
camped in the village
Several of them fabricated lfes
hinges with the oil OF JOY prior to ten
O'Clock Saturday evening and issued
war orders not sanctioned by any
commanding officer Patrolman Hurl-
ey had to squelch the great American
army several times because Benning-
ton is strictly neutral but as most Of
them had left their implements of
havoc in their tents before sallying
forth for the Bennington sights the
Sleuth was with us as usual this
morning. Large numbers of citizens
went to the camp Sunday afternoon
and imagined the European war hor
rors by watching the men enjoying
Sunday afternoon maps in the snow
squall. Camp was broken at seven
o'clock and they swung on their
horses for the remaining 125 miles
to Fort Ethan Allen, expecting to ar
rive there on Friday

LONDON UNIONS REVOLT
Against Shortening Hours When
Drinks May Be Sold.

London, Nov 21.-Five hundred
delegates to conference of London
trade unionsts today passed resolu-
tion pledging themselves to resist to
the utmost, by open revolt If neces-
sary," the regulations lessening the
hours during which liquor may be
sold to five hours day, which go in
to effect on Nov. 20
The delegates represented the print
ing trades, postmen, railway and ye-
hicle workers. molders, laborers and
the workingmen's clubs.
The new regulations were describ-
ed an insinuation that workingmen
were addicted to excessive drinking,
which arose from few isolated
cases.
The resolutions said the regula-
tions were a direct Indictment TO
LAY down their tools"

Berlin, Nov 21, (by Wireless to
Sayville, n. YJ-The Serbian town of
Novi Bazaar, which is only twenty
five miles from the Montenegro front
ier. has been taken by the Germans.
This announcement was made today
by the War Office which reported al
so the capture of 4.4OO Serbians yes
terday.
Discussing the situation in the Bal
kans, the Overseas News Agency
says:
THE defeated Serbian Army drags
slowly along over snow-covered
mountain trails, accompanied by
large number of women, children and
aged persons. The Serbians already
have crossed the Montenegrin front
ier but inasmuch as Montenegro al
ready is suffering from lack of food,
it is extremely difficult to care for the
newcomers. Frequently Montenegrin
patrols approach the Austrian van
guard sentries and beg for bread
"On account of these conditions in
creasing numbers of Serbians are re-
turning as deserters into Old Serbia,
which is now completely in the hands
OF the Austro.German forces.
Special reports from the front say
that the number of Serbian prisoners
taken last week was 26OO0 and that
the Serbians lost more than 500 can
nom
Meanwhile Austrian and German
troops are marching through the San
jak.
Apparently heavy cannon and am
mnnition already have arrived at the
Gallipoli Peninsula for reinforcement
of the Turkish artillery.

Two armies were fighting the Blue and

The Blue in their uniforms so new and

Were lighting for what they believed

The Gray with their uniforms tattercd
and torn,
Were lighting for the honor OF which
they had never been shorn
And on that hard fought battlefield
Both armies refused one inch To yield.

Ana behind him there came a troop OF

Where tho best place was to charge,
For the responsibility on him was

feet in tune. He worked upon them for
long time. lie did not give up un-
Ill he accomplished what he started.
The lay brother made many chimes
He hung some In the monastery. After
IA while there came Il war In Europe
The monastery was destroyed and
therefore. the bells had TO be moved
They were moved TO Cork, ireland
The lay brother analy became wan
dercr in Europe. He was distressed
only could hear his beloved bells once
more. he wandered over to Cork.
Ireland, and as the sun was setting
boat TO row him across. This was
the River Leo he was going across.
and when about the middle OF II he
heard his sweet bells. They seemed
10 ring over the waters. He was the
only passenger on board. When he
heard their sweet chimes he raised
from his seat and strained his ears
very much TO hear them. In a little
while their sweet echoes could be
heard no longer. He sank back into
his seat. When the captain came
around to arouse him he WAS found
