ORIGINAL NJ. Y. CAST

Selwyn and company, sponsors Tor
Under Fire" and Rolling Stones
whereby they have made their name a
hallmark of fine plays, finely produced
with lne casts, will present their
cleanest. merriest of American farce
comedies, "Twin Beds" the laugh fes-
tival" by Salisbury Field and Margaret
Mato, regarded as the most popular
laughing success of recent years, at the

original New York cast, which includes
such expert farceurs as Ray Cox, John
Westly, Leo Carrillo, Zaina Curzoh,
Alice John, Earle Boothe and Jane Sey'
mour This organization which comes
here directly from a profitable stay OF
almost five months at the Park Square
Theatre, Boston, played an entire year
on Broadway and half that length ol
time in both Chicago and Philadelphia.
Providence is the first city, except
those four. in which thls cast is to be
seen and its visit is certain to prove
a genuine treat.
Twin Beds" now established as the
cleanest and funniest recent farce com
edy of American origin, gained Its
enormous popularity by it's refreshing
wholesomeness, its swift action, It's
sparkle of bright lines and its brillian,
Characterization: Its story is built
around the fact that people who live
in fashionable apartment houses,
whose only common bond is that they
pay rent to the same landlord, still
have unwelcome neighborliness
thrust on them by way OF elevators
dumb walters and the insufficiency OF
laths and plaster. Popular Wednes
day and Saturday matinees of Twin
Beds" are announced and seats are
now on safe.

To those who are always tell
ing about our "Old fashioned
Winters" we respectfully call
their attention at this time to
what has taken place during the
past six weeks in Rhode Island
We do not hear much of this from
the people living in the country
or those of us who have been
through our rural section during
the month now drawing to a
close. City folks should have
taken a trolley ride to Scituate the
past week to have acquired real
knowledge in this direction.

ms To But Shall Have Road To the V
Mr.. HOLDEN GIVES CAMP
To Be Erected for Use of the Boys of
the Y. M. c. A.

At the April meeting, the board of
directors of the Y. NJ. c. A. formally
accepted the offer Of Arthur ]. Holden
to build a camp to be used in conjunc-
tion with the building.
MIR. Holden made the proposition
some months ago. that if a camp would
meet a real need, he would build it.
In the meantime the matter has been
gone into eXhaustiyely, in spite of the
first general opinions expressed by
everybody, that it would be a good
thing. Camp leaders. the lnterna-
tional Committee of Y. NJ. c. AS. and
local parents have been consulted,
with resulting unanimity of opinion
that a camp would be one OF the best
features the Association could adopt
The camp viii be located about two
miles from the Y NJ. c. A. building, on
the eastern outskirts of the village, off
Burgess road on property owned by
Mr.. Holden. between Burgess road and
Furnace Grove. The camp will stand
on rise which will command a fine
view to the west There is a good
spring at hand, and it will be possible
TO get a swim by a short hike.
The building will consist of a large
room about 20 by 36, with three hunks
in each corner, and a stone fireplace
A kitchen will be constructed on the
rear. A bread piazza will cross the
front. The building will be made com
foreable in winter as well as summer
Edward t. Parlin, manual training
instructor in the schools, is working
on detailed plans, and the work will
probably be done by the boys under
his direction. This activity of the
boys will be an end in itself.
The camp viii not be regarded as
vacation camp primarily, but as an OBJ
iective point for over night hikes, spec
ial meetings, suppers, etc 1t VIII be
welcome rendezvous for the Boy
Scouts. 1t will always be under the
supervision of the employed officers OF
the Association or competent leaders.
Such camp seems a logical thing
in this beautiful open country. In
adopting it the Association is simply
extending its theory of supplementing
the normal life of the boys and young
men. and the normal boy camps.
Many boys, however, do not have ac-
cess to camps, and to them especially
will it come as q boon.
Life at the camp will be organized
and planned so that all will be occupi-
ed in one way or another. Order,
cleanliness. system temperance and
high purpose are not incompatible
with the best results of or the fullest
enjoyment of camp life
The many small parties which can
use the camp will assure to every boy
a chance TO share it's benefits, and the
community as whole is thus the
benefactor Of Mr. Holden's generosity.

TREDIzOND IN ASIA
Minor CAPTURED
BY RUSSIANS
Turks Lose Most Important City
on Black Sea Coast
HAS POPULATION OF 4l,OOO
Defences of Port Had Been Strength.
ened by Garrison of $4,000
Men.

Petrograd. April 19-Irebizond, the
most Important Turkish city on the
Black sea, has been captured by the
Russians. The fall OF TrebiZond to
the Russian army is confirmed in an
official communication issued late yes
terdat
Trebizond is city OF Asia. Minor on
the Black sea. 57j miles east OF
Constantinople and 100 miles north Of
Erzerum, the town stormed by the
Russians on February 16. Trebizond
has population of about 10000 in
Guiding some $4,000 Christie MS The
importance OF the Black sea port was
due to its command of the point where
the chief trade route from Persia and
central Asia descends to the sea. 1t is
separated from the rest OF Asia MiAor
by a barrier OF rugged mountains,
1000 to 5000 feet high, which the Rus
sian armies had to traverse.
Aided by the Russian fleet, the in
vaders pushed past the last series of
natural obstacles along the. coast when
on Sunday they occupied a strongly
fortified Turkish position on the left
bank of the Kara Dere, y miles out
side the fortress. Since the fall of
Erzerum and the capture three weeks
later Of Bitlis the Turks are said to
have increased the Trebizond garrison
until it contained three complete di-
visions, or about $4,000 men, and to
have done everything possible to
strengthen the Black sea port.

QUESTION OF BUS
LINE TO DORSET
BROUGHT UP
Board Of Trade Approves Establish
ment Of Daily Auto Service
WOULD BRING TRADE INTO TOWN
Company May Be Formed to Purchase
Three Cars for lnter-Town Trans.
portation in Near Future.

bus line of automobiles operating
between Bennington and the towns to
the north as far as Dorset. was con
sdered in the board of trade annual
meeting at the Putnam House Tues
day evening
The idea is to maintain at least three
automobile busses which shall ply
over the line and carry passengers with
better service than is possible at pre-
sent by the railroad, Incidentally it
will be the means of intercommuni-
cation between the towns up the val
ley as well as bringing trade to Ben
nington stores
Such a line could be run seven
months in the year and in addition to
the service which 1t would render,
would also pay satisfactory dividend,
as where such venture has been tried
in other places covering similar terri
tory, it has been financial success.
In his remarks at the banquet Tues
day evening, Earl w. Williams pro-
prietor Of the Bennington Garage. who
has been too much trouble TO compile
facts and figures regarding the finan-
cial and service features of such line,
stated that there were three proposi-
tions, One to cost $4,000, another TO
cost $1,000 and third, employing Ford
machines which will cost $4,000 to
equif
The fares will average about three
cents a mile and the busses will be
timed so that residents of up-yalley
towns can get prompt service either
way At the present time there are
towns 10 the north touched by trains
only twice a day, so that shopper
must come down early in the morning
and remain here until late in the az
ternoon. Under the new service it will
be possible to come down TO Benning-
ton and return in q few hours
Dorset particularly would benefit by
such a route. as at present there is a
six.mile territory between the town
and railroad which must be traversed
before a train can be taken The bus
line would run to Dorset village.
The idea is to form a stock company
and float its securities among Benning-
ton people who would be most profit
ed by such a line \ canvass will be
made by special committe Of the
board OF trade

GRAPE JUICE NOT EFFECTIVE
Daniels Cry Order Fails to Danish
Intoxication.


Washington. April 17.--Commenting
on Admiral Fiskes letter TO the Secre-
tary of the Navy upon the latter's wine
mess order Representative Britten OF
nlionis, member of the House Naval
Affairs Committee said today that the
prohibition of wine and beer at Off
GERS tables had not led to an appreci-
able reduction in the number of courts
martial for drunkenness.
The records of the Navy Depart
ment show" said Mr. Britten, that
during the year 1913 (prior to the Dan.
iels order) there were twelve convic-
tions OF officers in the navy and Ma
rine Corps for Drunkenness and th-
during the year 1915, following the
Daniels order, there was an equal nun
Der of convictions for the same Of
fence"
Representative Britten added that
the publication of Admiral Fiske's let
ter indicates that Secretary Daniels in
his testimony before the committee
had misrepresented the Admirals
views
"The distortion by the Secretary of
what he really did say" Mr.. Britten
continued lis only another desire to
slap naval officers in the face with one
hand while fondly pattng the shoulder
of the enlisted men with the other.

RUSSIA WILL CAN MEATS
War Responsible for Development Of
tho Industry.

Russia has taken the first steps tow.
ard the organization of a meat canning
industry. according to advices received
by the National Proyisioner. The first
OF string of factories is now in oper-
alton in Astrakhan. at the mouth OF
the River Olga, which has nearly one
third of European Russia as its basin,
a region largely devoted to cattle rails
ing The plan for the development Of
the industry was the outgrowth of
military necessity and the problem OF
feeding Russia's vast army
Although the second largest of the
worlds cattle raising countries, Russia
used but comparatively little canned
meat before the war for the reason
that only Is per cent of her popula
tion lived In towns.
