READINGS FROM POETS
Charming Program Before the Fort
nightly Saturday.

Charming Program Before the Fort
nightly Saturday.
One of the most delightful enter
tainments ever given by the Fort
nightly was the program of readings
from modern American poets by Mrs.
Haley Phillips Gilchrist Saturday af-
ternoon. There was large attend
ance and all were greatly pleased. Sc
Mrs. Gilchrist is native of Arling-
ton and now has a summer home
there. She is a splendid reader and
the only criticism made of her work
Saturday was that with her ability
as an interpreter even a mediocre
poem was pleasing.
Many people do not realize that
there is in this country group of
poets of real merit who have written
some of the beautiful poems which en-
rich English and American literature.
Mrs Gilchrist's selections were from
eighteen writer's and largely young
people who have the best years of
their life ahead of them. The chef
charm OF her reading was that she did
not seek TO be dramatic, but read the
poems as they are.
Among the selections which proved
the most pleasing to the audience
were He Whom a Dream Hath Pos
sessed" by Shaemus OSheel; From
Good Friday" by John Masetield;
'Evoe" by Edith Thomas. Songs For
Fragaletta" by Richard LIE Gallienne,
Gen William Booth Enters Into Par
adise' by Vachel Lindsay and "The.
House With Nobody In II" by Joyce
kilmer.
Eleven new members were voted
into the club making the present mem
bership 343. At the next meeting,
which will be held Nov. IL, Congress-
man Frank L. Greene will speak on
Social and Political Life In Washing

HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT
James scarey's Face Lacerated When
Car Hits Wire Fence.

James Scarey, an employe of the Fl.
c. White company of North Benning-
ton and who lives on Spring street in
this village. was severely injured ear
ly Sunday morning in an automobile
accident on the Colgate road. A Ford
touring car which he was driving left
the road a short distance from the
home OF Philip B. Jacobs and crashed
into a barbwire fence. The driver
was thrown against the fence ana his
face was slashed open by one or more
of the barbs. Local physicians were
of the opinion that one eye was so
injured that the sight would be lost,
but at the Troy hospital where the
wounds were dressed the surgeons
we're positive that the eye would be
saved. John Fitzgerald of this village
who was the only passenger in the
car, escaped with minor bruises.
At the time of the accident the car
was on its way TO this village. In
attempting to turn out for another au-
tomobile. the Ford ran into loose earth
which had been turned up while the
read was being repaired and went
down a sloping bank into the fence.
The car must have turned partly over
on it's side for Fitzgerald was pinned
underneath and was unable 10 be of
any assistance TO his companion.
Making his way 10 the house of Mr..
Jacobs, the injured man aroused the
family by whom he was cared for as
we'll as possible until a physician
could be summoned by telephone.
Later he was taken to his home where
two doctors temporarily dressed the
ragged wound, The cut extended
across one cheek and the nose was
severely lacerated by the barbs of the
wire.
Sunday forenoon the injured man
was taken by automobile to the Troy
hospital where the attending surgeons
closed the wound and made perma-
nent dressings. Sunday evening he
was reported to be resting as comfort
ably as could be expected under the cir
Mrs. Scarey visited him
at the hospital today
The car was only slightly damaged.
One section of the windshield was
smashed and spokes in a forward
wheel were split.

NORTHERN In ).
Three Austr0- German Attacks on
Border Repulsed
STILL RUNNING IN DoBRUJA
King Ferdnand's Army Hurrying to
Danube Bridges to Cross Into as
Russia.

London, Oct. 29-The Rumanians
in tenaciously defending their north,
ern frontier have inflicted three
repulses on Won Falkenhayn's Austro-
German armies. They have recap
tured the village of Livechi, north of
Campolung, and on the direct road
to Bucharest, taking 300 prisoners and
many machine guns.
BY strong blow in the Alt valley
further to the west, they have driven
the invaders back six and half miles
while in the valley of the jul the Aus
tro-Germans who had reached Tirgu-
iiulij were defeated. The Rumanians
at this point took 900 prisoners, two
howitzer batteries and eleven machine
guns. An official statement from Bu-
charest asserts that Rumanian troops
are pursuing the Austro-Germans into
the mountains.
The announcement of these Ruman-
ian victories is made in an otficial
statement issued by the Russian war
office. Berlin makes no mention OF
the fighting in the Alt and jul valleys
in the statement on Won Falkenhayn's
operations made public today. Re
garding the lighting south OF Tomoe-
ser pass, where the Teutonic armies
are striking at Campolung, further
advance is claimed despite strong Ru-
manian resistance.
Optimistic dispatches reach here
from Bucharest. despite the fact that
there is a great exodus of the inhabi-
tants of the Rumanian capital 1t is
said the incessant air raids are re-
sponsible for the fight of the popula-
tion. King Ferdinand and his minis.
try are at Jassy. A Berne dispatch
says the Rumanians retain practically
all of their artillery.
In Dobrudja, the fight of the Russo
Rumanian armies continues. They al
ready have retreated far north of Hir-
sova to the region of Babadagh, ac-
cording to Bulgarian reports, and
heading at high speed for the pontoon
bridges over the Danube at Tulcea
and Isakoha A pontoon bridge at
Hirsova was destroyed by Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen's artillery.
A retreat of the defeated army
across the Danube at either of the
points named would put them in Rus
sa, leaving all the Rumanian soil in
the Dobrudja section in Won Macken-
sens hands.
