Remarkable Operation Performed
Upon Napoleon LAIN
NOW IN CANADIAN HOSPITAL
Former Benningtonian los One Side
of Face While With British
In France.

Mrs. Margaret Larin has received
word from her sor, Napoleon Larin,
who is in the military hospital at
Paris, Ont, stating that it will be i'm
possible for him to come to Benning
ton for the holidays as he had writ
ten her some week. ago. The young
man writes that the surgeons have re
fused to permit him to leave the hos.
pital and that the injury he received
while fighting with one of the Cana
dian regiments in the trenches in
France will not be sufficiently repair
ed to permit his discharge before the
middle of the coming summer.
While looking over the rampant of
the trench he was hit on the left side
of the face by a piece of a shrapnel
and the lower jaw was taken away. He
was in one of the hospitals in Eng
land for some time where the surg
cons grated to the fragment Of jaw
a piece of bone taken from l.s own
leg between the knee and ankle. He
writes that the operation was success
full and that he is in excellent health.
From letters received frcm Canada,
Mrs. Larin learns that the people OF
the province are taking the war very
seriously. A young man, who does
not enlist, is looked upon with con.
tempt. In order to assist in the re-
cruiting employers are refusing to en-
gage young men when they apply for
work. They are told that the place
for them is in the ranks; that the
old men can do the work just as well
and that the young men are needed
in the army

FOR HOMELESS BOYS
Great Work Of Father Blake May
Well Be Copied.

Editor of the Banner. Permit me
through the olumns Of your valued
paper TO comment upon the article
from The Banner in todays Rutland
Herald. "Society's failure towards
orphans sharply blamed" Every
word in the article appealed TO me,
inasmuch the part where il said Yer
mont has not a home for normal,
healthy children. 1t brought wildly
to my mind such home built while
| was resident of Manhautten
Borough. Rev. William Blake, i'm
mediately upon his ordination to the
Priesthood, sought Bishop Mcdonnell
OF Brooklyn, n. Y, and related to his
superior, the mission he had in view.
TO found a home for homeless
boys
Being granted permission he set
out to rescue homeless boys, who
were consorting with drunken. de-
PRAYED blasphemeing men, sleeping
Brooklyn bridge, and on warts and
peirs in that locality, also the vicinity
near the Brooklyn Navy yard. Father
Blake rented small private house at
first and gathered together about
twenty boys Those boys are today
respected citizens of the community
The number of boys grew with such
rapidity that Father Blake solicited
funds to build home for his charges
and today there stands on Boerum
Place a most magnificent house.
monument to his memory. whose life
work was redeeming his fellow man.
He believed in beginning with the
boys. the making of men begins in
youth and invironment
This home, fer he always called it
home, not an institution, was home
in every sense of the word A seven
story white stone building, consisting
of chapel, classrooms, hall for enter
tninment, ample sleeping rooms and
roof garden was supported by private
contributions. What more worthy
charity could any person, or state be
called upon to perform. This worthy
Clergyman was called to his reward,
but his name will live in the hearts of
those who were fortunate enough to
know him.

Austro Germans Move to Check

ACTIVITY ON SOUTHEAST lIlE
Petrograd Confident that Outcome
viii Materially Change Russia's
Position in War;


London, Dec, 3--The German and
Russian official Bulletins regarding
the operations south of the Prippet
river laconically declare that the bat.
ties are proceeding. The importance
OF the engagements seems to be con
sidered by the Russian military cri.
tics as Petrograd as great. The gen
earl staff commentaries lay stress on
the difference between these strug-
giles and the last notable collisions be-
tween the Russians and Teutons be-
fore the period Of calm. The battles
of Czartorysk, Noyo AleXmiec and
elsewhere between the pripet river
and the Carpathian mountains were
sporadic and designed only to correct
positions on different parts of the line
between the cessation of strategic
movements on account of the ap-
proach OF winter
1t is agreed now that a struggle is
proceeding on the entire southwest
line and that apparently it is equally
ardent elsewhere. II is intimated
that both sides are aiming at the ac-
complisl,ment OF exceedingly import
ant tasks. The Russians and Teut
ons are equally alert, each side here
and there taking the initiative.
The expectation in Petrograd is
that the outcome OF this gigantic but
still obscure struggle, will be trans
formation OF the military positions in
the Russian theater OF war. While it
is pointed out that Germany has not
lost interest in the northern half of
this theater it is minated that her ac.
tivity is designed mainly to inspire
the belief that she has not removed
her troops from there 1t is unani-
mously agreed among military observ.
ers that the aspect OF the eastern
front will be changed within three or
four days.

How few realize that the child of

emotions entirely different from the
child of five. That the child of thir-
teen is new creature and must be
appealed to disciplined and lead in an
entirely different manner while the
young person OF sixteen again has a
new personality and has emerged into
a new world as completely as a but
terly from it's cocoon. A great deal
has been written and said about the
young child and most mothers try con
scientiously to understand her little
ones and kindergartens have been
established for years, but to most how
battling is the sixteen year old and
how few organizations have any place
for him. Yet at sixteen the promise
of the future is revealed and habits
and points of view for life are formed.

by an out-of-town vaudeville troupe
who will give couple of hours enter

The time has been advertised as 10

this has now been changed to half
hour earlier.
If it is possible. the house commit

of the approximate number who are
to attend that places may be arrang-
ed accordingly.
The vaudeville will be something
which has not been exhibited in Ben

invited whether they have time to
make registration or not. EGraf&

RED CROSS NEEDS FUMES
Treasury Is Low Because of Great
Demands Upon 1t.

The reat work of the American Red
ing caused by the present European
war is seriously in danger of having
to be concluded for lack of funds. The
President, who is president of the
American Red Cross. has issued an
urgent appeal for contributions that
this work may be continued saying:
THE American Red Cross. through
whose instrumentality hundreds of
thousands of our people have been en-
abled TO give substantial expression
to their pity for those who have fal-
len under the stroke of war, is near.
ing the exhaustion of its resources
Into it's war relief fund it has re-
ceived, in round sum, $l,6Oo,0O0. In
the sending and maintaining of near
ly 400 surgeons, nurses and sanitar-
ians, who have carried American
skill into the zone OF war, in financial
aid to hospitals and other Red Cross
institutions, and in The purchase and
transportation OF nearly 1900, 900
pounds of hospital and medical sup
plies and equipment this sum has
been reduced TO less than $4,000 now
available to meet the great demands
of the approaching winter.
That the splendid work of this
organization, which, more than any
other represents the sympathy of us
all, should be permitted to cease, is
unthinkabe. | therefore earnestly
call upon the people of the United
States once more again, by their gen
erosity, TO assure the Red Cross
against the curtaiIment or discontinu
ance of .he large activities in which
it is engaged That this assurance is
urgent is shown by the comparatively
small sum remaining in it's treasury,
sum which, however. closely it may
be husbanded, will suffice for but
few weeks"
Ernest z. Bicknell, national director
of the Red Cross, says.
The announcement that the Red
Cross was withdrawing its doctors
and nurses from the war zone seems
to have been construed in some quar-
ters to mean that il was giving up all
its war relief activities This. how
ever, is not the case; on the contrary
we hope to center our chief efforts
on the making collecting and for.
warding OF more hospital supplies and
other helpful things this winter than
last. The war goes right on and as
the supplies, which the warning coun-
tries themselves had collected before
the war began, become exhausted, the
need of our help increases.
Every one who gives or makes a
for this relief work has the
privilege of designating the country
to which it is to 90, We prefer that
gifts be not thus designated as we can
respond more freely and promptly to
serious needs which come TO our at
tention, il we have large stock of
supplies upon which we can draw |
without restriction"
Contributions may be forwarded to
