Petrograd, June 24.-The Russian
forces which are cutting their way
through Bulkowina in an effort to cap
ture the Austrian army there have
made further advances. The war Office
yesterday announced the capture Of
three villages west of Radautz, 30
miles south of Czernowitz, the occupa-
tion of which was reported Thursday
Eight hundred prisoners were taken.
Last nights Russian Official com
munication confirms what already had
been learned from Austrian admis-
sions, that the Russians are overrun-
ming Bukowina and are making a
dash for the passes to the Carpathian
mountains as they did Is months ago,
when they reached Kirlibaba pass,
overlooking Austrian Pennsylvania. \
report from Bucharest states that the
Russians have taken possession OF
two railways leading from Rumania
into Bukowina.
The information that the Germans
and Austrians are bringing up rein
forcements from the French and
Italian fronts is also given in the com
munication from Petrograd. Accord
ing to speculations in Paris, the tor
nado of artillery fire on the Nerdur
section and the attacks in Champagne

TO MARK HISTORIC SPOT
'te re Tablet viii Commemorate
oEa. on Lake ChampIain.

ste - Tablet Will Commemorate
osar,. on Lake ChampIain.
The Society of the Sons of
4, place a bronze tablet on the shore
of Lake Champlain at a spot near the
town of Panton, where Benedict Ar
mold beached and burned the remnant
of his feet after the famous naval bat
tie on Lake Champlain in October,
1776. In this engagement, Arnold af-
ter a heroic fight with superior Brit
ish naval force, near Valcour island,
attempted to escape under cover Of
darkness to Crown Point, n Y, with
the remnants of his shattered fleet,
His vessels were so badly damaged
that he was forced to land in order to
make some repairs and this gave the
British time to overtake him. a run
ming fight was kept up until a small
bay, known as Arnold's bay, near Pan
ton, was reached, where Arnold ran his
ships aground and burned them.
Owing to the difficulty of reaching
the spot where the tablet will be un-
veiled, the dedicatory exercises will be
held at Vergennes, after which a small
party will unveil the tablet. The prin-
cipal address win be delivered by the
Rev. G. Glenn Atkins of Providence, r.
l., and there will also be speeches by
Rear Admiral William NJ. Folger, U. s.
n, and the Hon. Redfield Proctor
president of the Vermont Society OF
the Sons of the American Revolution

CAPT. HANNON WILL
RAISE MACHINE
GUN COMP ANY
ssa
Bennington To Be Represented if
There Is War With Mexico
ALL EMPLOYERS WILL ASSIST
Manufacturers VIII Reserve Places for
Young Men Who Enlist With
State Troops.

Capt. j. B. Hannan today received or
lotson to raise a machine gun company
in Bennington for service ON the Mexi-
can border.
The company, if recruited, will COM
pose one of the units of the national
guard and will be subject to whatever
orders may be issued for the regiment.
Machine companies have been or are
being organized by the national guards
in other states and if war is declared
between this country and Mexico it is
probable that every machine gun COM
pany will be pressed into service.
A certain number of machine guns
have been in operation in Mexico dur
ing the fighting that has taken place
in that country between the different
dent Dia2.
Considerable equipment is required
for a machine gun company but just
how many men are necessary is not
known. With full company at least
40 mules are needed to transport the
guns and the large amount of ammuni-
ton that would be used in action.
Capt Harmon opened his recruiting
station in the room over the Noveck
store last evening. His enlistment
papers had not arrived so that it was
impossible to do any actual recruiting
but number of young men presented
themselves ready to sign up for the
service.
Rev. Thornton f. Turner this fore
| neon telephoned to the officials of the
different manufacturing concerns i'll
| the village and was given assurance
that any young man who enlists need
not worry about his job when he re-
turns. His place will be reserved for
him. The manufacturers were practic-
ally unanimous in this declaration.

AMERICAS REAL ENEMIES
Ignorance, Insect Pests and Extrav-
agance, Says Official.

'The real enemies of America are
not to be found in Europe, Mexico and
Japan, but within our own borders in
the form Of ignorance, insect pests
and extravaganza says O. II. Ben
son of the United States department
of agriculture. 1--WE ought to have a
standing army of 100000 boys and
girls in our army of preparedness.
"ln these days of modern transpor-
tation, increasing wealth, multiplicity
of entertainments, it is we'll that we
consider the education that points
homeward. The boys and girls gar
den movement is a back-to-the-home
education, and helps parents in the
crystalization of those sacred senti-
ments that lead to a lifetime value
in inspiration and production in the
homely but important arts of the do
nestle life. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to find most of our children,
even of the grammar school age, away
from home all day Saturday, Sunday
and much of the night time, and even
when they are caught at home, they
are usually in charge of servants,
grandmothers, or broken fragments of
the domestic unit
| THE American people are the most
| thriftless and wasteful on earth. We
waste as much food products in the av-
erage American city in a single day
as would feed city of equal size for
| the morrow.
"The Boys and Girls club work is
a movement designed to help to edu-
cate the boys and girls to be more
thrifty and economical than the gen.
Grafton now in charge of affairs. The
best way to teach thrift and the prop
er use of money, is to teach through
the home project work, how to produce
a dollar as a result of the members
own investment of money, time and
energy No one can properly spend o
dollar until he has first learned the
language and the cost of production.

BRIDGE DESTROYED
Bridge at Percey's Corner Hit by
Heavy Truck.

The old wooden bridge at Percey's
Corners suffered two mishaps Friday,
the last one almost demolishing it,
The bridge was known TO be weak and
material had already been collected
there to construct a new one as soon
as the West road was opened up and
the traffic became a little lighter
Sometime in the morning Friday a
touring car passed over the bridge and
ripped the railing almost completely
from one side. Later in the day, the
heavy truck which was recently
brought from Troy to convey the trans
formers from the station to the cleo
trio light plant passed over the bridge
The weight was too much for its
weakened condition and the bridge was
broken almost completely in two, the
truck escaping all injury
For a short time, it was necessary
for traffic to pass through the brook
but the trolley bridge was soon graded
up to permit the passage of ordinary
traffic. The new bridge is now under
construction and will be completed
| within few days.

CAPTURE VILLAGE OF FLEURY
Germans Renew Attack on Hill 304-
Artillery Keeping up Severe
Bombardment.

London. June 23.-By throwing great
masses of men at the northeast front
of the Verdun defenses, the Crown
Prince today again won ground from
the French.
First-line trenches between Hills
800 and 321, west of Fort de VauX, and
the "Thiaumont work" probably the
Redoute de Thiaumont, as it is called,
were carried in the terrific assault,
which was made on three-mile front
and in the face Of very heavy gunfire.
Part of the German troops succeeded
in reaching the village of Fleury, but
were driven out of there by French
counterattack, Paris says. The French
War office which tells this story of the
loss in its night bulletin, recorded in
its day announcement some heavy at
tacks by the German forces in the
Champagne region. Three assaults
were made On the French positions be-
tween Maison de Champagne and
Mont Petu, but were repulsed,
On the west bank OF the Meuse the
Germans renewed last night their at
tacks on Hill 304. The artillery action
in that region continued severe today.

on the Thames late this afternoon by
five lengths of open water in 20:O2, and
tonight Cambridge graduates are cele-

The record of 20:10 has been at
tackled yearly since it was made by the
Yale crew of June 29, 1888, and on this
occasion the fiftieth between the great
rivals. Harvard was seen not only to
eclipse the mark but to smash it to
pieces
There was no doubt concerning Har-
wards superiority. Except for the first
ten strokes, when Yale, because of a
fast start, led by twenty feet, the phe-
nomenal Crimson craft was never sec
ond. 1t had length at the mile, two
at the two miles, three at the three
miles and five at the four miles.
Yale was beaten decisively. It's time
was 20:17. Experts tonight attribute
