OLD SEMINARY BELL
Cherished Relic Finds Its Way Into
Hands OF Junk Dealer.

Local officers are endeavoring to Sc.
cure the return of the bell which for
years hung in the belfry of Mount An
thony seminary at Old Bennington
and which it has been learned has
found its way into the possession of a
Troy junk dealer
Thursday a native of Poland whose
first name is Joseph and who was at
one time in the employ OF Morris Levin
was arrested and given a preliminary
hearing in the Office of Probate Judge
+. c. Bennett, acting in the absence
of States Attorney Frank c. Archi-
bald. Mr.. Levin was also present at
the hearing
From the information developed at
the hearing it appears that Joseph, the
Polander, took the bell and TUNED it
over to Mr.. Levin who shipped the
relic to Troy with a consignment Of
junk
Mr.. Levin disclaims all responsibili'
ty for the disappearance OF the bell
and puts the blame on Joseph of po-
land 1t was expected that State S
Attorney Archibald would arrive in
town this afternoon and that there
would be a general sitting of evidence
before the municipal court.
The bell came into the possession OF
the late Charles r. Sanford nearly 20
years ago before the seminary came in
to the possession of the Mount An
thony Country club. 1t was preserved
by Mr. Sanford as relic and has been
viewed by many of the former stud
ents of the seminary when visiting
Bennington Lately the bel had been
kept in shed at the Sanford home al
Old Bennington and it disappeared
while Mrs Sanford was visiting q
daughter in Wallngford.

GERMANS SHIFTING
ATTACK AGAINST
BRI'iiISs;;,' Front
Extensive Operations Begun in BEL
GUM and France
Big GUNS ACTIVE EAT MANY POINTS
Irish Regiments Given Special Men
tion for Bravery in Reported
Successful Counter Attack.

London, April 27-A great increase
in German activity on the British front
in Belgium and France is indicated to-
night by the British official communi-
cation, whicn is the longest ever sent
out from army Headquarters. TO the
extent of nearly 500 words it describes
the manifold operations on the British
front, where observers have been pre-
dieting that the Germans were about to
launch an attack as determined as that
against Verdun.
The new German activity has shown
itself at more than score OF points,
with the principal fighting apparently
around Hulluch and Loos.
The Bedfordshre regiment carried
out a successful raid near Carnoy.
There has been artillery activity at
La Boisselle, Hebuterne, Monchy-au-
Bois, Neuville-St Vaast, Armentieres,
and Frelinghein.
At Frelingheir the Germans entered
the British trenches, but were driven
out, it is stated. Similar attacks on
the British trenches on hill 60 and at
st. Eloi are reported to have been re-
pulsed
The Irish regiments get special men,
ton for bravery in a counterattack
which drove the Germans out of a
section OF trenches where they had
gained footing with the aid of gas
and an artillery curtain of fire.

.S|RJOHN MAXWELL
TAKES COMMAND
IN IRELAND
Veteran of Egyptian Campaigns TO
Put Down Rebellion
MUCH ANXIETY IN ENGLAND
Liaale information From Turbulent
Island Since Rioting Began
in Dublin.

London, Friday, April 2S.--Martial
law has been declared throughout Ire
land, and Major Gen. Sir John Max.
well, who until recently commanded
the troops in Egypt, has gone over to
take charge, the Irish executive oflici.
ais having placed themselves under
his instructions. Full disciplinary
powers have been given to him for the
extension of the operations and the
suppression of the rebellion, which has
spread to the west and south.
Premier Asquith. who on Wednes-
day had given reassuring news respect
ing the situation, caused something of
a flutter of anxiety yesterday in the
House of Commons when he announc-
ed a spread Of the movement TO other
parts OF Ireland. the retention by the
revolutionary forces of certain parts of
Dublin and the fact that fighting was
still going on in the streets. The
Prime Minister added, however, that
the Government was convinced the
forces now in Ireland and those pro
ceeding there were adequate TO deal
with the situation
John Redmond, leader OF the Irish
Nationalist Party, and Sir Edward Car
son, the Unionist leader, strong oppo-
nents on the Home Rule question, ex-
pressed their detestation of the rising,
and, as a consequence, Premier AS
quith said he did not think it neces-
sary to hold a session of the House
Monday, as had been suggested by one
of the members ito make clear to the
world what true amount OF support
was behind the movement"
Dublin is further from London today
than Peking is from New York. so far
as communication for the general pub
lie is concerned. No Irish newspapers
have reached here since the rising
and passenger traffic has been for the
most part suspended The only infor.
nation comes through official chan
nels
Sir Edward Carson, in the House
CT Commons. pointed out that many
persons were anxious regarding the
fate of relatives in Dublin and could
get virtually no news from Ireland.
Mr.. AsQuith replied that he sym
pathized with the anxiety felt by per
sons having relatives in Ireland How
| ever the difficulties of communica
| were diminishing. He gathered thai
| communication would be restored
today or tomorrow, subject, of course
to military necessity. There would bt
no censorship of private communica
tions. All official news would be pub
lished promptly. and private communi
cation interfered with as little as pos
| sble
Mr.. Redmond said - agree with 81
Edward Carson that the situation il
one of great anxiety. Up to this mo
ment | have been unable to get int,
communication with Dublin, either b,
telegraph or letter" .qf
He thought that when the govern
ment had full information it should b.
given to the house, but to debate tn
subject prematurly on Monday woul
be most injurious. 10.

cUNARp COMPANY SUED
Widow of Lusitania Victim Accuses
Company of Negligence.

A suit for $75O.OOO for the loss of
her husband on the Lusitania, which
was torpedoed by German submarine
was filed in the federal court at New
York, yesterday, against the Cunari
steamship company by Mrs. May
Davies Hopkins of Louisville, Ky, the
widow of A. l.. Hopkins. who was
president OF the Newport News ship
building and drydock company. Mrs.
Hopkins in her complaint alleges that
the Lusitania was not running on the
course which the British admiralty
had prescribed for passenger vessels
and that the defendant company was
guilty of negligence by operating the
Lusitania at low speed through zone
known to be infested by enemy sub
marines.

TWO NEW TEACHERS
Elections to Fill Vacancies at the
Graded School.

ITdueu oCnooi.
At a meeting of the school board
Thursday evening the present corps Of
teachers of the graded school was re-
elected for the coming year except for
the two vacancies due to the resigna-
tions of Miss Hazel Hart and Miss
Leah Moone. To fill these vacancies
Miss Helen Darrow and Miss Florence
Moore were chosen.
Both Miss Darrow and Miss Moore
are graduates of the Bennington high
school. Miss Darrow has been teach
ing recently in Readsboro. Miss Moore
will graduate in June from the North
Adams normal school. She has also
had experience teaching in the district
schools.
The high school faculty for the com.
ing year will be the same as at pres
ent with the exception that Miss
Gladys F'auley will succeed Miss
Cora Parker. Miss Fauley will gradu-
ate in June from the University of
Vermont.
The school board voted to fix the
tuition rate in the high school at $36
per year and in the grades at So per
term. This is in accordance with the
new state law and is less than in most
towns with a first class high school
plant. Even this increased rate is low
because the average cost of high
school is about SEQ per pupil.

LOST IN RAGGED GAME
High School Boys Beaten by Students
t3 to ~.


t3 to ~.
Bennington high school lost rather
ragged game of baseball at Morgan
park Thursday afternoon to the team
representing the ID. L, fraternity of
Williams college by score of 10 to
12.
The weather was altogether too
chill for good baseball and undoubted-
ly number of the errors by the mem
bers of both teams We're due to cold
fingers
Bennington at one period Of the
game had a good lead on the students
but in the sixth inning the Williams
town boys punched four hits with two
bad errors and scored quartette OF
tallies. Bennington cut down the
lead during the remainder of the game
but the school boys were unable TO
catch up with their opponents,
Roger Burt pitched a portion of the
game for the high school but he was
poorly supported during the first two
innings. Parsons finished the game
but as he had pitched at Adams on
Wednesday was not in the best of form
and was hit rather hard at time
