JESS WILLARD COMING
With Buffalo Bill Wild West Show
at PittsfieId.

The Jess Willard buffalo Bill Wild
West Show and circus is announced
to exhibit in Pittsfield, Monday, June
18th.
This is as close as the big aggre-
CATION will come to Bennington during
the present season, and already sew
eral parties of circus-lovers have been
organized to take in the show. Spec
ial arrangements have been made by
the railroads to handle large num-
bers of excursions, and undoubtedly
this vicinity will be well represented.
Interest in the Buffalo Bill Show
is pronounced, not only because of the
magnitude and splendid reputation of
this famous old exhibition, but also
because of the many new and striking
features that are offered.
One of the features is the famous
cowboy heavyweight champion Jess
Willard, who is announced 10 appear

role as a ranchman, and also in an
exhibition bout with his sporting part
ner, Walter Monahan, in which he
will illustrate just how he won the
championship belt from Jack John
son. The desire to see Willard seems
to be general.
Another interesting feature of the
show is the fact that while the Wild
West features are as strenuous and
numerous as ever, there is a splendid
program of high-class circus acts, in
GLIDING a series of big gymnastic and
acrobatic numbers, high-jumpng
horses, trained elephant. pony and
other animal displays bareback rid
ing, and other novel offerings. There
is a thrilling military display by Dey,
Inns Zouaves and an exciting artillery
drill by United States soldiers.
The Wild West section offers scores
, of daredevil cowboy and cowgirls in
the exhilarating sports of ranch life,
an attack on the old stage coach by
Mexican outlaws, the capture of a
pioneers camp by Sioux Indians and
ether bloodstirring displays. As a
preliminary to all this there will be
characteristic Wild West and mill
tary parade at 1890. led by Johnny
Baker, the noted rifle shot and foster
son OF Col. VIM. f. Cody The parade
will be over a mile in length and will
be worth the journey to see. Hun
dteds of cowboys cowgirls, Mexicans
Indians, and other interesting people
including Arabs. Cossacks and Japa-

Thousands of Springfield citizens

CONSUMPTION IN CANADA
Bill Offered in Parliament BY Sil
Robert Borden

Bill Offered in Parliament BY Sil
Robert Borden
| Ottawa, June PA bill for com
pulsory military service by Canadians
between the ages of 20 and 40 years
was presented in the House of Com.
| mons today by Sir Robert Borden.
The Premier said that on Jan l.
1915, he had authorized the enlistment
of 100000 men for overseas service
and the offer was taken as a pledge
that the number would be raised. I'm
der the voluntary system. he declared,
more than 100000 men had been rails
ed and their services had brought
cheer to the British and glory to Cana
da.
Lately the number of men volun-
teering had fallen off while the de-
mand for men increased. Sir Robert
explained. To date Canadians had
suffered casualties to the number Of
$4,000. In April and May last 1880
men had been enlisted in Canada,
while there had been 1892 casualties
among Canadians at the front. There
were under arms enough Canadians
to supply reinforcements for some
time to come, but for military rea-
sons he could not say how along.
But during the next seven months,
to keep four Canadian army divisions
in the field the enlistment of 10000
men was needed and to keep five di-
visions in the field $4,000 men were
needed, he pointed out, there was a
greater number of suitable men in
Canada. 1t had been decided that they
should be brought to arms by compul-
sion. All Canadians under a law which
had been on the statute books for for
ty-nine years, were liable for the de-
Tense of the country and liable to be
sent abroad if the government decided
that in defending the country they
should fight beyond its boundaries. To-
day the first line of Canadian defense
was in the North Sea with the British |
fleet and in the trenches of France
with the Canadian divisions. When
the Canadians at Ypres barred the
Germans from Calais on April 22 I
1916, they barred the way also to Lon
don, to Halifax and to Montreal.

The Strike Situation

Due chiefly to the course OF procedure
followed by the governor, prospects at this
writing are that an amicable settlement oil
the strike difficulties at Gallup may be ar
rived at. The situation demonstrates that
a little level-headedness and diplomacy may
accomplish much in a labor controversy as
in any other. The outcome seems to JUS
tify the governors action in sending the de.
parted Gallup party back home.
The governor, Captain Fornoff, Sherifr
Lopez and Undersheriff Armijo, Messrs. Ro-
dey, Craig and others have all set a pretty
fair official example in the strike matters.
They are to be commended for their impair
TALLY and sincere efforts to get employers
and employees together, and to discourage
lawlesness or violence.
A word Of appreciation of the attitude OF
the Madrid miners is not amiss. They have
been distinctly reasonable-largely because
they have been approached in a reasonable
spirit. t
IL the present troubles are smoothed out,
as now appears likely, the state is to be
congratulated. as are the nen who have
been instrumental in smoothing them out

legos will of course be much g~ratifled at
their solicitude lest the attorney general be
overworked, even though Mr.. Patton insist
ed that he be not relieved of this part OF
his regular work and offered to do 1t for
nothing
The fear of Messrs. Parker and Gallegos
that Mr.. Patton overstrain himself amounts
really to anxiety. Even after giving him the
able assistance of a former attorney general
who had long experience in the boundary
suit litigation himself, this was not
enough and the services Of Mr.. Larrazolo
| were added, his employers doubtless feeling
that such glittering boundary-suit gifts as
those pertaining to the Las Vegan could not
be left to blush unseen without infiicting q
hardship on the public. You and ! might
think that Mr.. Patton and Mr.. Clancy TO-
gether could worry along with a job that
Mr.. Clancy handled alone, without causing
Mr.. Patton a breakdown; but even 80, pro.
badly it would be wrong to deliberately re-
fuse such a boundary suit expert as Larro'
zolo a field for his activities when there was
a perfectly good appropriation right there
handy. Messrs. P and G. might also want
to demonstrate that when it comes to pick
ing out conspicuous talent the G. o. P,
Majority has nothing on them. OF course
they don't estimate its value quite as high
as did the Majority, but then probably they
are more conservative-and then there's
the size OF the appropriation to consider
The surprising thing is the deceiying
ness Of Mr.. Patton's looks. He appears N
the best of health and is just looking fol
some work to eat. But the commission. 4
knows best. Thu attorney general may have
one foot in the grave for all we know.

A Strange Coincidence

During the last legislature a bill was
pushed through by the Republican machine,
being a bill for the pacifcation of o. A. Lar
razolo, who left the meagre pickings of the
Democracy to enter the Grand Old Party
when things looked promising, only to find
a Barmecidal feast awaiting him.
This measure sought to hand over $4,000
OF the public funds 10 MIR. Larrazolo. being
a consolation prize of rare magnitude. He
was specifically employed by the bill as a
special counsel in charge of boundary suit
prosecution, to receive $500 for his sery-
ices and $500 for expenses. Governor Lind
sey let it be known he would veto the bill
and It was finally recalled, a mere boundary
suit appropriation then being passed.
Yesterday, by a strange coincidence, two
stand.pat Republican members Of the state
boundary commission, refusing the official
services offered gratis by the attorney gen
eral. elected for such purposes, employed o
A. Larrayolo as a boundary suit attorney, re
muneration to be $500. The gentlemen
we're Mr.. Frank w. Parker and Mr.. Eufracic
Gallegos.
This seems very odd, but or course can
be explained by the laws of coincidence.
The happy feature Of this fortuitous com
bination of unrelated circumstances is thai
after all Mr.. Larrazolo is partly pacihed
The $500 is less than $4,000, but then, hall
: a loaf is better than no bread,
Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Gallegos are to be con
graduated on conserving the services of the
attorney general, who will thus have left
added energy to devote to other matters

The War Gods Nav

The expenditure OF o. million dollars a day
staggered the minds of men during our Civil
war. England, says a writer in Leslie's, Is
now spending directly for war purposes as
much as $3.50 0O,O 900 a day. 1t is probable
that an estimate Of 500, 0O0. 900 a day for
actual war expenses for the fighting nations
would be well within the limits. This takes
no account of loss of human life, the de-
struction OF property, the languishing Of IN
dustry, or the decrease occasioned In tne
positive output Of human energy. The Unit
ed States, has already loaned $4,000 ,OOO,OOV
to the allies within less than three months,
and will doubles loan much more than maj
amount again before the end of the frSs
year of its participation in the war. A war
revenue bill now pending provides FOR rals'
ing $4,000 900 by direct taxation with
additional millions to be added by BOND IS
sues. A Liberty Loan of $4,000, 100000 has
been made. More than 500, 000, 600 has been
taken up in voluntary contributions to the
Red Cross wal fund. The six hundred ana
forty millions for airplanes is more than the
annual cost of the entire army and navy a
few years ago. With the 100000 men soon
to be under arm in this country, the quar-
termaster generals department Will have a
gigantic expense account, ranging from peei
to shoestrings. The demands for this army
start off with 397,6SS, 240 pounds OF fresh
beef and nearly S,OOO,0 600 pounds of corneo
and canned beef, which estimate applies
only to soldiers in the United States. When
our armies begin to move to France, the
total will be increased. Other minor items
are %, 100000 pounds of coffee, 25,OOO tons
of sugar, 1856, 900 gallons of pickles, 3,Soo.Oot
cans Of pepper and spices, 100000 pounds
of potatoes, $4,000, 900. pounds of onions
