TAIL LIGHT NOT BURNING
Ralph f. Niles Pays Fine in Munich
pal Court

Ralph +. Niles, an employe Of the
Bennington garage, appeared in muni
cipal court Thursday to answer to
the charge of operating an automo-
bile on the village streets in the eve
ming without tail light Earl w
Williams, the young mans employer,
stated to the court that the failure TO
operate the car without the rear light
was purely accidental. The car, Mr.
Williams stated, is SO equipped that
when the tail light goes out the lights
on the front also cease to operate,
thereby giving warning that the car
is not in perfect running order. Wed
nesday night the combination failed
and the driver did not know that the
tail light was out In view of this
fact, Mr. Williams expressed the opin
ion that the offense should be over
looked in this instance. The court,
however, apparently held that n driv-
er is responsible for the condition of
his car so far as the lights are con
cerned and imposed fine of $40 with
costs OF $4.45.

The steamer, according to state
ment of the White Star line, was at
tackled without warning and went
down in 10 minutes. OF the d23 per-
sons on board-1S1 passengers and
242 members of the crew-32 are
missing and are believed to have per-
ished. Most of those who have not
been accounted for belong to the
crew. Only six OF the passengers are
reported missing.
Whether any of those not account
ed for are Americans has not yet
been determined, but there We're only
2G citizens of the United States on
board, % being in the second cabin
and four in the steerage. The Arabic
carried no first class passengers, hav-
ing lately been turned into two
class liner.
The survivors who left the steamer
in the ships boats and were picked
up later by passing vessels arrived in
Queenstown tonight They are be-
ing accommodated by the White
Star line in hotels and boarding
houses in the little town which so
short time age cared for the suryiy
ors and the dead of the Luistania.
Among those who were rescued
were Capt. VIII Finch, commander of
the Arabic, all the deck officers, the
chief engineer, the surgeon, the pur
ser, the assistant purser, the chief
steward and the third class steward
Third Engineer Tugon is among the
missing.
One of tthe passengers on board
was Kenneth Douglas, well known
English actor. Mr.. Douglas was on
the Lusitania when she was sent to
the bottom. His good luck followed
him again today for he is among the
survivors.
Crowds gathered today at the
White Star Offices. Reassuring news
by wireless was to the effect that
some 10 or 1G boats and life RATS had
left the steamer safely and been pick
ed up and were being towed into
Queenstown. Later, private tele-
grams brought the news from most
of the passengers that they were safe
although some of them were injured,

v. |. SOCIETY TEA
At the Home of Mrs. George
Graves Wednesday Next.

The Village Improvement society
tea, to be held at the home of Mrs.
George f. Graves next Wednesday af-
ternoon, is the first public affair OF
this society in many years, and one
Of the very few throughout its 20
erous response to this effort is de-
served, and is expected by those who
have worked steadily but quietly in
the interests OF the town. The Y. /.
s. is the earliest of our civic organi-
cations, and has accomplished more
than those who have not followed its
course realize, perhaps.
Its first and largest work was the
purchase of the plot of ground which
forms cemetery park, and opened up
the fine Main street entrance. Since
then it has cared for that property
and the cemetery itself, reclaimed
various waste places in other parts of
our village instituted needed reforms
in civic matters, and melted individu-
ais to cleanliness and beauty of home
surroundings.
OF late years the liberal village ap-
preparation has enabled it to do the
regular work, but special repairs
and extras have been beyond its
reach, so that mush less has been
done than desired. Just now new
fence is imperatively called for al
the east end of the cemetery, and the
society is ambitious to trim and beau
tify the grounds about our beautiful
Railroad station, of which every citi
zen is proud. if the officials are will
ing This is impossible without ad
ditions to our treasury, so it is hoped
that this statement may interes
those who can contribute to the or
ganization next week.

Something Off From s25 and Costs
An application was made to Judge
Il. Ii. Holden Thursday to reduce the
fine and costs imposed upon Fred
Norful, the young man who was con
victed of an assault upon Samuel
Rosenburg, the NJ nth street shoe
make:
Norful was convicted of an aggra-
waited assault upon the shoemaker
last Saturday night. 1t was claimed
that Norful was the ringleader of a
gang of young men who set upon
Rosenberg while on his way home.
Rosenberg claimed that he was vici-
ously assaulted, that his arm was in
jured and that the vegetables and a
chicken which he had purchased for
his Sunday dinner were taken from
him and thrown into the river from
the School street bridge.
States Attorney f. c. Archibald,
who prosecuted the case, urged the
court to impose the maximum fine,
stating that it was none too high in
such instances The court fixed the
amount at $25 and the costs were be-
tween $12 and S13.

London, Friday, Aug. 2O.--The con
tinued German advance on the east
ern front is seriously endangering
portion of the Russian Army and
must soon have an effect on other
fronts
Berlin repeats the claim that the
fortress of Kovno has fallen, compell-
ing the Russians in the Kalwarya
and SuwallSi districts on the East
Prussian frontier to fall back. In
fact, the Russians now appear able to
hold their own only in the Baltic pro
vinces, where they are preventing the
Germans from advancing.
Beside the capture of Koyno the
Germans have taken additional Noyo
Georgieysk forts and, according to
their account. have penetrated the
outer positions of Brest-Litoysk, the
great fortress which is the main stay
of what was expected to he the Rus
slams new line Of defence.
There is no evidence yet of Grand
Duke Nicholas's intentions, but mill
tary writer's are of the opinion that
the swiftness of the Germans ad-
vance has rendered it impossible for
him to make a stand on the Brest-
Litoysk line which already virtually
has been turned by Field Marshal
Won Mackenson in the south and by
his colleagues in the north.

When the Russians retreated from
the Warsaw salient they left at
Novogeorgieysk, a town and series OF
forts west of Warsaw, a garrison of
over 100000 men and ammunition
and supplies to Withstand siege.
The forts command the Vistula river
and as long as they could hold out
the Germans would not be able 10
use the river for the transport of
troops and supplies.
1t was reported from Petrograd
that Novogeorgieyisk would be easily
able to hold out for two months and
probably four to six months. Taking
of the stronghold in Is days shows
again the power of the German siege
guns.
Several of the smaller forts protect
ing the main fortress were taken in
the early part of this week and with
them the Germans had secured 1876
