London, Sept. 15.-Under smashing

The Serbians, after several days Of
brilliant fighting, have overwhelmed

PUBLIC WELFARE ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting at Library Hall Next
Tuesday Evening.

The annual meeting Of the Public
Welfare association will be held in
Library hall Tuesday evening at 745.
Since the reorganization in January
community work has been carried out
through departments. Many adjust
ments have been necessary and the
newness of the method has made the
work difficult but splendid results
have already been achieved. Former
activities have been continued and
new developments begun. The mem
bership has been increased to 175,
athletic work in direct connection
with the high school begun, the Camp
Fire girls have added two new groups
and co-ordinated all their work, the
dramatic department has allied itself
with the Dramatic League of America
and given the community a remark
able Shakesperian production, the
social center department has started
Library Hall well ON its way to being
a social center for all our young peo-
pie, While nearly every family in the
village has been touched in some
way.
While organization by departments
has made specialized and intensive
work possible it has also made every
member less familiar with the work
as a whole. The Public Welfare as
sociation is organized to promote such
influences and conduct such activities
as shall make for the health happi-
ness and prosperity of all the people.
Its membership and workers are
drawn irrespective of sex, creed or
| social position, aiming to secure unity
of action and devotion to the common
| good by all the people OF Bennington
for all the people. The past history of
community work has been interesting,
! but insignificant when compared with
| the possibilities now lieing before it.
Every parent, every friend Of children
| and everyone interested in the com
mon good should ally himself with
the Public Welfare association. All
such are cordially invited TO attend
the annual meeting of the association
become familiar with its work and
make suggestions for its future deyel-
| opment.

British Gain Possession of High
Ground Near Village
THREE TOWNS ARE CAPTURED
French Assist by Taking More Tren-
ches North of La PrieZ
Farm.

London, Sept. 15.-Smashing the
German line on a front OF six miles
north of the Somme in France the
British forces have made probably the
most notable advance since the Anglo
French offensive began July !.
Three towns, two woods and the
possession of nearly all the high
ground between Combles and the Poz.
ieres- Bapaume road fell to the British.
Not only did the Germans lose these
points, but the British drive imperils
the Combles and Thiepval positions at
either end of the British front. The
gaining of the high ground north of
Combles gives the British command
Of the approaches to Bapaume.
The advance on the northern end of
the front was for distance of two
miles. Courcelette, east of Thiepyal
and north OF the Bapaume
road, and Martinpuich. south of the
read, fell into the hands OF Gen. Haig's
men. Farther south they took Flers
and the High wood, making secure
their possession of Ginchy The Bou-
eaux wood, north of Combles, also
was lost to the Germans.
The Germans under Crown Prince
Rupprecht OF Bavaria fought stubborn
ly to hold the ground and the fighting
was severe all along the line. More
than 23OO prisoners were taken by the
British.
Aiding the British in {he encircle-
ment OF Combles the French have TAX
en- additional trenches north OF lie
Priez farm. South of the river three
German trenches near Berny.En-San

also captured 200 prisoners.

the patrol in this village and North

that the patrol be contiued. New cases
of infantile paralysis are being report

The Bennington County lmproy T.
ment association has undertaken to
raise funds for the purpose. as neither
state or town money is available for
the purpose, There has been no gen

of the generous and public spirited
residents have provided enough
money to maintain the patrol up to
the present time. The association
is now out of money and is again call
ing upon the people to help them.
