New York, Sept. 21-James F. j.

ian ambassador at Washington, ad-
dressed to Baron Won Burian. Aus
trian foreign minister, which led to a
request from the United States Tor
the ambassadors recall, issued a
statement at New York last night, in
which he denied that he had conniyed
in any way at breaking the neutrality
laws of the United States or was an
official dispatch bearer. The request
for DR.. Dumba's recall was made al
ter the ambassadors letter was seiz-
ed by British authorities when Archi-

Old Bill Small Remarks That the Telephone Has Certainly Stimulated
NEW LIBRARIAN
Miss Mary A. Patch, Graduate of
Springfield Library School

The board of managers of the Y.
NJ A. has chosen a new Librarian for
the Free Library, to take permanent
ly the place of Miss Josephine Keeler,
whose sudden death in the summer
was so great a loss to the library and
the community The young lady in
question is Miss Mary A. Patch, now
an assistant in the State Library of
Massachusetts in Boston.
Miss Patch is a graduate of the
Springfield Library school and con-
tinued on the staff of the free library
in that city, being cataloguer for the
branch libraries and first assistant at
the Forest Park branch for over two
years. For more than year she has
been in her present position in Bos-
ton. She comes to Bennington with
about five years experience in library
work and with very satisfactory rec
concentrations, both from Spring
field and Boston We may be permit
tSh w duotc llOhl ofIV Su,H ictttE
from the Massachusetts State Library
"She seems to me well able to take
the head of your library and admin,
lister it; developing its possibilities
and growing herself with the town.
She is resourceful, tactful has
quiet dignity which would assist in
any necessary government, is ap.
proachable and executive. She has
two distinct lines of powers-the
above qualities which would fit her
for your position, and also a logical
mind which classiiies and analyses a
book well, and a good memory. She
has therefore, with her training, done
good catalogung, and we should be
sorry. very, to lose her
Miss Patch was not candidate for
the libraranship here but was dis
covered through inquiries by the local
board, She leaves a desirable posi-
tion because of her preference for gen
eral library administrative work,
rather than department work
1t is expected that Miss Patch will
begin her duties in Bennington the
18th OF October. Meanwhile Miss
Esther Merrill, who since Miss Keel
er's death has been very agreeably
serving the public as librarian, will
continue in full charge.

NEW Y. M. c. A. SECRETARY
n. A. Wilkinson, Former New Eng
land Man, Has Accepted

| The board of directors of the
| Young Mems Christian association
have received letter of acceptance
! from H. A. Wilkinson of New York
| city whom they have been endeavor-
| ing to secure as general secretary of
| the Y. NJ. c. A. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilkinson were formerly New Eng
land young people but for a number
of years have been in New York city,
Here Mr.. Wilkinson has had a wide
experience in Y. NJ. c. work
Mr. Wilkinson was brought up in
New Salem, Mass. He secured his
education at the North Dana high
school, Andover academy and the
Springfield business college. After
holding business position in the city
of Springfield for some time he went
to New. York at the age of II. For
three years he lived at the 23d street
branch of the Y. NJ. c. A. and later on
was connected with the railroad de
partment of the association.
This position he left to become
private secretary to the vice-presid-
ent of one of the prominent New
York city banks Although he re-
never free from a desire to use his
life in some position where it would
count more toward the uplift of hu-
manity. This desire finally led him
two years ago to resign his position
in the bank in order to take charge
of the employment department OF the
Remington Typewriter company on
lower Broadway. Here he was able
daily to come in contact with a large
numbers of young men and young
women who were seeking positions.
The work sent to him automatically
thousands of the most needy young
men and young women of the city.
At the time he took up this work he
was able to handle it with three as
sistants but he developed to such
an extent that it now requires the
full time of five assistants. He has
been able to fill as many as seven
teen hundred positions in one month.
Mrs Wilkinson was Miss Lisa
Mayo OF Southwest Harbor. Ne.
Mrs Wilkinson secured her education
at the high school in Bangor. Me, at
Mt Holyoke college and at Teachers
college. Columbia university. where
she graduated just before her mar
riase three years ago. They have |
little daughter born in April OF this |
year. Mr. Willdnson's mother makes |
her home with them and will be with |
them in Bennington. She is an able |
woman, much interested in church |
and social welfare work. They will |
be great addition to every phase of |
the community life.

London, Sept. 21-Of the many big
battles fought on the eastern front
during the past five months few, if
any. have been fraught with such i'm
portance for the opposing armies as
that now in progress to the east and
south of Wilma. where the German
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is at
tempting to cut off the retreat and
destroy the Russian army which de-
Tended that city.
The German official report issued
yesterday throws little light on the
progress of the operation, simply
stating that the attack against the
enemy retreating from Wilma is pro
ceeding.n
Petrograd continues to express con-
fidence in the Russians to extricate
themselves from the net thrown
about them, In the opinion of mill
tary writer's here, they are in a dang
erous position, 1t is quite likely,
however, that they got their artillery
away before the Germans moved
across the railways, as the evacua-
tion of wilma was decided upon weeks
ago.
South of the Pripet the Russians
still control the situation and keep
harnssing the Austro-German armies
in Volhynia and Galicia. On the Vol
hynia front some decentralization
among the Austro-German forces has
been observed by the Russians, accord
ing to the Petrograd official dispatch
es, ana the Russians, taking prompt
advantage OF this condition, have at
tackled and recaptured parties of their
own forces that have been taken pris
oners.
