The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1915-06-04

There was so much rain early in
the spring that it was generally be-
lieved that owners of timber land
would pass through the first half of
the year without any material loss
from forest fires bntsthat conditions
are not yet safe is indicated by the
destruction that has been wrought in
the big tract operated by the Rich
Lumber company in Manchester. The
steady wind that has prevailed for
days without any rain has driven the
moisture from the surface of the
ground and the danger from forest
fires at the present time is nearly as
great as at any time in the year Care
less numbering methods are to great
extent responsible for the loss by for
est fires. Little care is taken to dis
pose of brush and tops of trees which
are left where they fail Once fire
starts in one or more of these big
collections of dry spruce branches
with a good wind blowing there is
bound to be more or less loss to stand
ing timber. Where numbering per-
mits are granted on government res
creations. one of the requirements is
that all brush shall be piled and burn
ed and the rangers see to 1t that the
regulation is carried out. The time
is coming when all numbering will be
carried on under some kind of super
vision TheEinnovation will be oppos
ed by men engaged in the business
who generally resent all attempts to
preserve the forest lands but the
awakening is bound to come sooner
or later and when IL arrives the lumb
er men will realize that something
for their own best interests has been
forced upon them.

The fall of Przemysl and the
speech of David Lloyd-George, the
new British minister of munitions,
are added proof, if any were needed,
that the great struggle in Europe is
war of machinery Mechanical efl-
cheney has enabled Germany to sup
ply her armies with such vast quaint
ties of munitions that the Teutons
have been able to batter their way
through armies much larger in num-
bers, According to Lloyd-George two
hundred thousand shells were pour
ed upon the defenses Of Przemysl in
a single hour. 1t is to be doubted il
there are Notifications anywhere in
tie world capable OF withstgndng
such a rain of iron.

Gard to the Voters.

To the Citizens: I have concluded tc
become a candidate for the Office Of
Mayor of this city, the election to be
held in January, 1916. 1 have taken
this step without any undue solicitation.
I have no excuse to offer other than
desire to aid in the administration Of
municipal affairs, looking to the prog
ress OF the town and the welfare OF its
citizens.
This being a non-political Office, /
have no extended platform of principles
to offer, and will content myself in say
ing to you that if elected / will admin
lister the affairs OF the Office with in
tegrity and with such ability as may
possess. As law abiding citizen I be-
Ieve in the enforcement OF the law, not
arbitrarily but with due regard to what
is right.
/ will also be glad to endorse all
efforts looking to the physical improve
ment of your city within such financial
limits as will not incur oppressive tax
alton.
Your churches and your schools come
first in all material and spiritual prog
ress and for this reason should be pro-
tected and cherished by everyone.
| have heard it said that, in the past,
two factions existed in your municipal
affairs. Not having been party thereto
l do not vouch for the truth OF the state
ment, but if true, | do not desire to be
regarded as a candidate for either fac
ton but for all the people.
] want and solicit your endorsement
at the ballot box, and if elected, I want
your advice and assistance for myself
and the Board of Aldermen in the ad-
of the office. This letter
is addressed to you, the reader.
Respectfully,
