Hnry w Putnam, died at his home
in San Diego. Calif Friday evening.
The news reached Bennington this
noon in a telegram to A. W. Braisted
from H. W. Putnam, Jr, of New York
who was just leaving for California.
While Mr. Putnam was for many
years one of the leading citizens of
Bennington and mere laid the founda-
ton of his great fortune, Mr.. Braist-
ed, his personal representative here,
and other local friends are unable on
shot notice to give a satisfactory
sketch of the deceased
He was born September LIST, 1925 in
Essex. New York. and WAS therefore
in his goth year. He came to Ben
nington in 1864 and this town was his
home until 1898 when he went to San
Diego, feeling that his advancing
years did not fit him to Withstand the
seventies of the New England eli
mate.
He was twice married His first
wife died when he was still a COM
paratively young man and he has long
outlived his second wife. He leaves
one son, Henry W. Putnam, Jr., of

CITY WAS NEAR STARVATION

Mexico City, Jan. 29--Gen Obregon,
now in command of this capital with
an army of 10000 men, recognizing
the extreme scarcity OF the neccessar
les of life, has placed at the disposit-
ion of the Chamber of Commerce ali
trains needed for the transportation
of foodstuffs. The State of Vera Cruz,
rich agriculturally, is now open, and
for the present likely to be the capt.
ais chief source of supply for cattle
cereals, coffee, and sugar.
The reopening OF the railway to the
Port of Vera Cruz will also enable
merchants to replenish their depleted
stocks of foreign goods and import
foodstuffs if necessary, but the high
rate of exchange and general impoyer
ishment are likely to restrict imports
for some time to come

WAR CARRIED INTO HUNGARY
Russian Dispatches Indicate That
They Have at Last Forced Road
Through the Carpathians.

London. Jan. 29-Interest in the war
situation has again been transferred
to the Russian offensive in East Prus-
sia and the attempt OF a strong Austro-
German army to dislodge the troops
OF Empe.or Nicholas from their posi-
tions in the Carpathians
In East Prussia Russian offensive
has developed in the extreme north,
where renewed fighting seems to con
firm the belief that a defnate effort
to advance north of the Mazurian
Lakes district, where previously the
Russians were defeated, has been de-
cided upon by the Russian general
staff
Just north of Tilsit Russian detach-
ments on Jan. % drove back the Ger
mans and destroyed the railroad sta
ton at Pogegen. according to today's
official statement from Pet-ograd,
which adds.
The Russian advance along the
right bank OF the Vistula is also said
to be progressing with encounters be
tween advance guards Of the oppos-
ing armies.
More vital to both sides, however
apparently, is the campaign in the
Carpathians. where to the southwest
of the Dulka pass the Russians have
delivered an energetic attack. and ac-
cording to their account of the combat
compelled the Austro-Germans to re-
treat, leaving behind ammunition and
stores. This attack, according TO nil
itary observers. indicates an attempt
BY the Russians to turn the flank of
the Teuton allies. and if it should
D owe successful, the observers say.
il would have serious consequences
for the Austro-German army in and
about the Carpathian passes.

nam and II. Asa Putnam were with
him at the time of his death.
Until within few months his
health has been vigorous but the past
summer and autumn he began to fail
and it has been evident for some time
that the end was not far distant
Mr.. Putnam was multi-millionaire
and during his active career was one
of the greatest business men in the
country. He was successful in his
business in Bennington. but this oc-
cupied only small share.of his Ell.
ergy and attention.
He was the first president of the
Brooklyn Elevated railway and in
railway, manufacturing banking and
real estate his interests were wide
spread. He was for many years The
largest real estate owner in Benning-
ton and when a resident here was ac-
tive in town and village affairs. He
was the first selectman Of the town at
the time of the great freshet in 1869.
He built the system of village
waterworks which he gave to the viz
lage two yeays ago, making probably
the most generous gift on record to a
Vermont community.
In later. article The Banner will
give a further account of his life and
business career
