Petrograd, Aug. 6.-Since the loss

against the Germans, which resulted
in their gaining the whole of the line
along the Stokhod and the capture of
several fortified villages considerably
west of this river on the direct route
to Koyel, the situation on the Russian
General Brusilofl's front has remained
virtually unaltered,
The Russians BY no means have lost
control of the initiative, but another
wave of most energetic German resist
ance has set in and the newly orga-
nizeed German army, which is com
posed OF all available reserves and
fresh recruits. has undertaken the
task OF changing its tactics from pas
siye resistance to Il most active cOun-

operations in this field is qui-, appar

more than check temporarily the adj
vance of the Russian forces upon
Koyel.
The Russians have succeeded in con

Re D'Ita|ia Had Three American
PASSENGERS on Board

Steamer Used Her Guns SO Effective
ly Submarines Were Unable to
Fire Torpedoes.

New York, Aug. 6.-The Italian
steamship Re D'ltalia with three Am
erican passengers on board from
Genoa, Italy, was chased for seven
hours by three submarines while in
the Mediterranean and was saved
from capture or destruction by use OF
defense guns mounted aft, according
to the report OF her mater, Capt.
Amedeon Pinceli, on the arrival of the
ship her today. The captain said he
believed one of the submersibles was
hit by one OF the shots fired, although
his only evidence was the appearance
of the column of water which rose in
the air where the shell fell.
No shots were fired at the Re
OItalia. the captain said, and all he
saw of the submarines we're the peri
scopes. They were discovered by the
lookout at $50 a. N. on July % when
the vessel was about 200 miles from
Genoa, midway between the Balearic
Islands and the Island of Corsica.
They were then one and one-half miles
dead stern.
Capt. Linceti ordered the speed Of
his ship increased to her full capaci-
ty, about II knots an hour Then he
summoned the crew OF naval gunners
on board and took personal command
o. them.
About 9.45 the submarines were
slightly abeam on the starboard quar-
ter travelling in line" Capt Pinceti
said. Seeing that they were chasing

The third shot, | believe, took effect,

falling of the she'll was much different
from that caused by the preceding
shots. II was much heavier and ap.

TO REPEAT TRACEY
julius Caesar Will Be Again Present.
ed Tomorrow Evening.

Gu IOUHVlFOW evening"
Editor of the Banner: The Public
Welfare Association has decided upon
a change of plans. It proposes that
the repetition Of Julius Caesar, which
was announced at the performance
Saturday afternoon, for Tuesday even
ing shall be given without charge.
The feeling is that the whole spectacle
is so brilliant and fascinating. with
the wonderful charm of the sur
roundings in this perfect out of door
theatre, and that the play itself has
such fine interest and educational
value, that all the people OF Benning-
ton should have the opportunity of
seeing it.
Therefore, through the kindness of
particularly interested individuals,
this performance on Tuesday night
will be a subscription one and the
general public will be admitted free
The presence of children would not be
desirable, but all persons from the
high school age up will be most well
come, and are urged to attend this
final presentation.
May be permitted to express for
myself and for many the deep appreci-
alton which we feel OF the work of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Elliot in the or
ganization OF this play and in carrying
it through to such successful issue.
! have stood behind the scenes, have
had my part in the rendition, and |
have maryellcd at the mastery which
these friends have shown of the
minute details and 0f the execution of
the whole. Mr.. Elliot has not only act
ed his most difficult and tasking role
in wonderfully effective way, he
has also ordered and controlled every
thing with a quiCkness of wit and a
steadiness and poise both on and off
the stage that have evoked from the
entire caste the greatest admiration
We feel individually the proloundest
gratitude for his patience with us and
his good-humored kindness The
public ought to know this. and ! have
pleasure in setting 1t down here
| wonder Il some people are not O
little afraid of Shakespeare. They
fear u Ssakospearian play Is heavy
that they wont understand It all, and
so ar shy OF attending this sort OF
theatre. I'm that case they are making
the mistake OF their theatrical lives
To see julius Caesar, for example, Is
TO understand it, and to be thrilled by
the story, and to live in a past whicl
really was. We who are amateurs
have done the best We could ~ th,
time at our command with ouH inter
prctatlons. II has been good fun
Well aware of how far short cur per
formanccs come of the perfect profes
sional art, still we have entered int,
this thing with a relish and IN enthus
iasm which will stay with us a Ion
while. We ask no reward for thi
hard work In midsummer other thai
the sharing with us on the part of th
many the enjoyment of this groa
Shakcspcaran tragedy.

MATINEE JULIUS
CAESAR CREATES
ENTHUSIASM
Daylight PrOduCtiOnSaturday After
noon Enthusiastically Received
BENEFIT TOMORROW NIGHT
Final Presentation viii Be Without
Admission in Honor Of Mr. land
Mrs. Elliot. I.

julius Caesar, the most generally
read of Shakespeare's tragedies, Sat
urday afternoon was given its third
production by the organization of Ben
nington people under the auspices OF
the Public Welfare association 1t
was the only matinee performance and
while the audience was enthusiastic in
its praise of the really wonderful
work of the amateur actors, those who
had been present on one or both of
the preceding evenings, insisted that
the daylight production lacked much
of equaling the play as it was given at
night. They also insisted that the
voices of the actors appeared to have
better carrying power at night than
during daylight.
One who has attended any of the
productions of the tragedy is i'm
pressed by two features: 1st, That so
large a company OF amateurs in the
limited time that has been available
could so thoroughly learn the lines of
what are professionally considered
difficult parts; I'd. That so many per-
sons could be trained in brief period
of time to carry out the detail of a
Shakespearean play as it was pre-.
fected in Clarks Woods Saturday af-
ternoon.
There was not false move from
the instant that the mob tumbles upon
the stage in the first act until the
tragedy closes with the death of Bru-
tus. No one was prompted; no one
hesitated; even the mob moved as
under the hypnotic spell Of an indivi-
dual mind.
While the community is justified In
assuming TO itself considerable
amount OF pride because of the excel
lence of the production, the major por-
tion of the credit must of course 20 to
the master actor, Mr.. Elliot the in
spiratiOn Of whose talent carried his
pupils TO heights they could not other
wise have attained, and to the direct
ing genius of Mrs. Elliot which was
almost uncanny in the results it Sc
cured.
AS an appreciation of the able and
untiring efforts of Mr.. and Mrs. Elliot
1t has been arranged to repeat the
| play tomorrow evening. This final
production is given in order that a
larger number of Bennington people
may by their presence make partial
acknowledgement of their indebted.
ness to these two residents who in
this instance, and in others, have gen

their untiring energy and their valu-
able knowledge to this community.
| The presentation will be absolutely
free to all and the public is invited.
1t is given by the welfare association
to the public and all who attend will
find it one OF the greatest entertain
ments they ever saw.

EASEMENT CALLED MARTYR
Service Called Notable and His End
Cruel.

Berlin, Aug. i,-(via London. )-The
execution of Roger Easement Is com.
mentcd upon literally in the German
press. Easement is called an idealist
and martyr whose efforts TO better the
lot of the Belgian Congo and Putu-
mayo natives will be remembered in
history as much ms his Inflated strug-
glc In behalf OF Ireland.
So far II has not been explained
here whether Easement was shot or
hanged the former course Is believed
doubtful because Easement was sen.
fenced by civil court Until the last
hour the opinion prevailed here that
communication OF Easements sentence
was certain.
Washington, Aug. a.-Ambasador
Page advised the state Department to
day that he had presented at the brit
ish Foreign Office yesterday the Sen
ate resolution requesting President
Wilson to urge Great Britain to extend
clemency to Irish political offenders
lie said the resolution was receicvd
without comment
The same message told OF the oXecu
tlon of Roger Easement. in whose be
half the Sonate's action chiefly wal
urged. II Is assumed that the resolu
tiou probably did not reach the For
oigu Otlico until after the execution.

CORNER STONE EXERCISES
First Dedication of New Hospital
Building on August 16


Good pre- cgress is being made with
the plans for the corner stone eXer-
cises at the site of the new Henry w.
Putnam Memorial Hospital building
now in process Of construction. II is not
the intention of the building commit
tee of the hospital association to ar
range for an elaborate program. What
the committee is seeking to accom-
plish Is the cooperation OF all the civ.
ic and social organizations in order that
the participation in the exercises may
be as extensive as possible. No insti-
tuition can have a closer relation to
each aud every individual in com
munity than hospital. Illness and
accident are inevitable features Of
every day life and 10 one Is exempt.
Instead of seeking to carry out an
extensive plan of exercises the com
mttee desire that the parade on the
morning OF Wednesday, August 16,
shall be thoroughly representative of
bennington. At the last meeting Of
the village board of trustees 1t was
arranged by Chairman North of the
fire committee and Chief Sears that
the fire department should incorporate
its annual exercises on the 10th into
the public parade.
The Bennington board of trade is talk
ing an active part in the arrangements
for the parade and an effort Is being
made to put in the line of march the
largest possible number OF organiza
tionc
The committee has not been able to
definitely decide on the order of exer
cises at the building but information
| on this feature of the day will be
forthcoming in a day or two.
