BENNINGTON, VT. FRIDAY. JUNE 9. 1915,
CLOSE "wEsr END" ROAD
Made Necessary by Construction of
Permanent HIGHWAY.

After Monday next the road through
Old Bennington into New York state
will be closed to permit the cOnstruc-
tion of the permanent highway. Work
on the road has been in progress for
several weeks and has now reached a
stage when the contractor has decided
that the way must be closed. 1t is not
likely that the road will be open for
travel during the next two months.
Three ways viii be open for traffic
into and out of Bennington Automo-
bilists will probably find it to their
advantage and comfort when coming
toward Bennington TO turn from
the main highway in the vicinity of the
Farmers Inn and take the road through
Hinsdillville The road through Pleas
ant valley is in good condition, but it
is narrow in places and therefore not
an advisable route for large cars.
Signs advertising the closing of the
road will be placed at several points
in order that tourists may be put to
the least possible inconvenience. The
Bennington authorities will also en-
deayor to enlist the cooperation of the
New York state highway department
to put up signs in the town of Hoosick
notifying tourists of the closing of
tho road.

American Legation, the mob also
stoned the Foreign Club in chihuahua
City.
During the absence of Consul Letch-
er American interests in Chihuahua

Consul from whom the report of the
attack was received. News OF this at
tack was received in official circles
with considerable concern.
Until a late hour tonight the State
Department was without confirmation
of the late afternoon report that Car
rama had been forced to leave Mexico
City on account of the activity of th'
zapatistas, who are now known to b'
concentrating their efforts for an at
tack on the capital. A dispatch wa

London, June S-The following Brit
ish official communication was issued
this evening"
"In the German official account of
the North Sea battle which appeared
in the Dutch papers this morning, the

ed the first of June, is now withheld.
THE German official account re-
peats that the Warspite, Princess Roy
al. Birmingham and Marlborough were
sunk. They were not sunk, but are
safe in port, and the repetition of this
false statement compels a repetition
of the former statement by the British
Admiralty CT the 9th of June. This is
false. A complete list of the British
| losses has been made public
The acknowledged loss of the battle
cruiser Lutzow and the light cruiser

5000 CANACiANS KILLED
Colonial Regiments Lose Heavily in
One Weeks Fighting.

Ottawa, June S.-Upwards of 5000
Canadians have fallen within week
in the desperate fighting in and around
Sanctuary Woods, according to a
statement made by Major Gen. Sir
Sam Hughes, Minister Of Militia, in
presenting colors to Canadian regi-
ment on Parliament Hill today.
The great majority wounded" he
said" already are clamoring to get
back into the fray, but many of the
gallant lads have gone down never to
rise again. We deeply mourn their loss,
but that loss affords an inspiration for
tens of thousands more to take their
place
Some details of the fighting came
through today General Hughes re-
ceived cable message from the front
stating that Captain Niyin OF the Prin-
cess Patricia had again distinguished
himself Wounded on Friday he was
taken back and treated at dressing
station He went to the front trenches
on Saturday; was again wounded,
taken back and dressed. Was at the
front again Sunday and was sent back
for further treatment.
Chaplain Wilkes, according to the
message, carried rifle into the fight.
He used it as long as he could and
then welded a bayonet until the en-
counter became too close for either,
when he went down using his fists.
Colonel Butler, Commander of the
Princess Pats, was killed. He had been
a member of the Duke of Connaught's
Canadian household, like the men who
preceded him. Colonel Farquhar was
killed at the head of the Princess Pats
year ago. A cable to General Hughes
today announced that Colonel Butler
had been buried in Colonel Farquhar's
grave in Flanders.
The regiment has been shot to pieces
three times and is now back from the
front waiting for men to fill the gaps
| that 1t may return to the fighting line.
Thus far 334,209 Canadians have
| been enlisted for overseas service.

"BRlNeINe BACK THE WILD"
fe - Pictures by Warwick S. Car
0hars Wednesday Evening

f2rp wednesday evening
The. . empty seats at the
Baptist Gu, Wednesday evening
when Warwick S. Carpenter, the pub
licity man for the New York conserva-
tion department, gave his series of
moving pictures and lecture on Bring
ing Back the Wild"
Nearly all of the films shown were
made by Mr.. Carpenter since he be-
came connected with the conservation
department and they show the actual
work as it is done in the different en-,
deavors that the commissioner is try
ing to carry out.
The pictures showed the work of the
forest fire patrols in New York, the
reforesting of treeless areas and the
methods Of fish propagation and re-
stocking of streams and lakes.
An interesting feature, which has
been given considerable publicity by
the newspapers, was the removal of
deer from Shelter Island. Another
was reel showing the release of a
number of elk in the Adirondacks. A
short time ago Mr.. Carpenter made a
reel showing two Bennington young
men, II. T. Southall and Frank Rous-
seau planting trout in the Dunville
stream and the picture was shown
Wednesday evening.
A defect in the moving picture ma
chine detracted somewhat from the
enjoyment of the pictures, which was
much regretted by the members of the
Y. NJ. C. A. auxiliary to whom Mr. Car
penter had generously donated his ser
vice.
