MoNTPELIER's GARDENS
Capitol City Claims to Lead the
State.


Montpelier, Aug. 26.-Probably no
other city in the state took hold of
gardening this summer like Montpel-
Ter. A community garden of 20 acres
on Langdon Meadow was parcelled
among S44 volunteer gardeners and is
now in a splendid state OF cultivation,
potatoes, beans, sweet corn and table
vegetables predominating.
Thirty-one acres in individual gar
dens are being cultivated by 292 stu
dents of the Montpelier schools and
271 boys and girls are being worked
with parents or others in the care of
80 acres, making 81 acres in which
pupils are directly interested, in ad-
dition to nine school boys who are
raising pigs and poultry.
Thirteen acres of city land around
the municipal water supply also were
broken up and parcelled out for gar
dens. Scores of well titled plots are
flourishing on the hills back of the
State House and in available areas
in Hubbard Park and about the State
Arsenal. The ground was plowed
and narrowed at the expense of the
committee on food supplies OF the 10
cal Committee on Public Safety.
The Boy Scouts and the Campfire
Girls have their own gardens, the for
mer cultivating two acres and a hal
and the latter one acre.

RESISTANCE
Of AUSTR|ANS
IS BREAKING
Fresh Troops Fail To Check
Italian Advance
FRENCH RETAIN GAINS
Germans Lose Prisoners in Counter
Attacks on Gen. Petaln's Posi-
tions in Verdun Region

London, Aug. 2S.-The Italians,
somewhat slowly, but nevertheless
surely, are breaking down the resis
tance of the Austrians in the region
around Monte Santo, north of Gorilla
and making their way eastward to-
ward the border of upper Carniola.
In their endeavor to hold back the
Italians, the Austrians have brought
to this sector large numbers OF fresh
men and at last reports the fighting
was most intense, but with the ltal-
ians having overcome the resistance
of the Austrians at various points.
Virtually nothing is being vouch-
safed in the Italian official communi-
cations which even approximately
records the advances Gen. Cadorna's
men have made since they begun
their offensive from the region of Toll
mino to the sea, the Italian war Office
probably desiring to conceal from the
enemy the exact objectives it has in
view. The latest communication, for
instance, leaves entirely alone the sit
uation on the Carso front, where pre-
vious reports had announced progress
for the Italians toward Trieste.
On the front in France the Germans
have been throwing counter-attacks
against the French line in the region
of Verdun, but not only have the for
ces of Gen. Petain maintained their
gains in their entirety, but have taken
more than 100 additional prisoners.
Likewise on the Aisne front the Ger
man crown prince is keeping up his
offensive against the French, but here
also the attempts met with complete
failure.
Along the front held by the British
the operations have scarcely risen
above the character of trench raids
although on various sectors vigorous
artillery duels are in progress.
The Berlin war office reports the
capture of Russian positions near ia
cobstadt, between Riga and DvinsR
on the northern Russian front, but
makes no mention of resumption OF
the operations begun last week east
of Riga. !, In Rumania the Russo-Ru
manian forces still are holding then
own against the invaders, having re
taken high positions northwest Of
Soveia which the Germans captured
last week. On the Fokshani sector
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's for

The Best Way Get Out of Trouble Is n But He
HOME GUARD TO PARADE
viii Be Feature of Closing Exercises
at Bennington Playground.

An elaborate program for a big
community celebration is being plan
ned by the Welfare Association for
the evening Of Labor Day, September
Srd. The playground will be the
scene of events, and each one of the
several attractions should draw a
large crowd.
The Home Guards will drill for the
first time in public on the baseball
diamond. This will necessarily be
an armless demonstration, but 1t is
expected that the brilliancy of the
uniforms, from which the newness is
not yet worn off, will so dazzle the
spectators that the lack of rifles Will
not be noticed.
Plans to provide speaker of some
note with a special message Of inter
est to everyone at this time have
been placed in the hands of the meet
ings committee of the War Work
Council. Watch for further an
nouncement of this feature.
Prof. Chambers of North Adams,
who conducted the Choral club last
winter has been engaged to lead the
crowd in the singing OF patriotic and
popular home songs,-the words of
which will be thrown upon screen,
so that everyone present will be able
to swell the volume.
Arrangements are being made by
e. T. Griswold for the sending UP of
ccoroe of haitoono froY, tha ulav.
ground early in the evening. His
idea is TO scare the Home Guards lat
er on into thinking there's night air
raid.
Labor Day is not necessarily OBJ
served as holiday in Bennington.
but the playground celebration will
certainly give a fine, patriotic, and
holiday touch. Everyone should plan
now to attend,

President, In Proclamation, Says Do
mestic Needs and Interests Of
Allies Must be Protected

Washington, Aug. 27--President
Wilson tonight issued a proclama-
tion which gives the government con-
troll over every possible commodity
exported from the United States.
1t is considered the most drastic
step for economic control taken by
any nation during the war The
president, in statement accompany
ing the proclamation, insists that he
aims at control and not at the actual
stoppage of exports. But the manner
in which the proclamation Is dlvid-
ed makes its purpose certain.
All other articles of commerce must
be licensed for export to enemy coun-
tries and the country of the European
neutrals. This will give the United
States, for the first time control over
certain munitions and money sent to
the neutrals.
The list of commodities for which
license is required for export to the
rest of the world is widely extended.
This" says the president, lis for
the protection of our own needs"

nation, except as it refers to coin,
bullion and currency, is placed in the
hands of the exports administrative

The presidents proclamation was
accompanied by an explanation in
which he detailed the difference be-
tween the divisions established in
naming the commodities coming un,
der the ruling.
The purpose and effect of this
proclamation is not export prohibition
but merely export control the pres

1T is not the intention to inter
fere unnecessarily with out foreign
trade: but our own domestic needs
must be adequately safeguarded arc
