JULIA CATHERINE JAMES
Particularly Sad Afflicton at North
Bennington Home.

Our community was inexpressibly
saddened Sunday at the news OF the
death of Julia Catherine James, Oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John B,
James of Hawks avenue, North Ben
nington.
She had been i'll for two weeks OF
scarlet fever, the case being an alarm
ing one from the first. All that the
best medical skill and loving care
could do was of no avail, and she was
called to her heavenly home Sunday
afternoon at half past two
Little Julia was five years old last
Christmas day-a bright. loyable
child. and the blow of her death to
her parents and relatives under such
sad circumstances, seems almost too
heavy to be borne Sooner or later,
sickness and death visit every home,
and during such sad hours, the pres
ence of loving friends to comfort and
aid, serves to tighten in a measure
the burden of sorrow. but in cases Of
this kind the friends feels so utterly
powerless to help the afflicted ones.
The heartfelt sympathy OF every per-
son in this vicinity goes out to Mr..
and Mrs. James in their dark hours
Of trouble, with the earnest hope for
the speedy recovery Of the other little
daughter, Madeline, who Is still very
i'll.
The burial took place today in st.

AUTO PARADE

Local Cars to Be Out in

Organization of 10000 is the Goal for
Which Vermont Must
Strive.

Red Cross week in Bennington will
be opened this evening with an auto
mobile parade in which every car
owner is invited to take part The
parade will form on Pleasant street
at z o'clock and will pass over the
main streets of the village.
The parade feature is being or
ganized for the purpose of adding en-
thusiasm to the campaign for men,
bership. An effort is being made to
raise the membership in Vermont to
10000. Bennington is apportioned
900 members and already has 500 IL

the 400 that is needed to make up
Benningtons quota. The Red Cross is
the only relief force officially recog-
nized by the government to meet the
great obligations which must be in
CURED by this country during the war.
The Red Cross is vital factor in the
struggle and President Wilson has
created a Red Cross War Council.
Henry p. Dawson, chairman of that
Council says:
Something of what we must expect
to do and something of the sacrifices
which We must expect to make will
be indicated by the following sum-
mary of the very present situation:
Hundreds of American doctors and
nurses are already at the front A
force of 10000 American engineers
will soon be rebuilding the railroads
of France. Upward of $4,000 Ameri-
can men are now on the battlefields
of Europe, fighting as volunteers in
the allied armies; soon $4,000 Ameri-
can regulars will be added to their
number. All our National Guard is to
be mobilized, our regular army is to
be recruited to full strength, and
100000 other men are shortly to be
called to the colors Within a few
months we should and will have in
service an army of 100000 and a
navy of 10000 men.
These men must have our best. To
perpare against their needs in ad-
vance will be stupendous task which
the Red Cross must undertake. Doc
tors, nurses, ambulances, must be
made ready. Vast quantities OF hospi-
tai stores, linen. bandages, and sup
plies of every kind must be prepared
and at once. II we wait, it may be
too late. When we ask our own sons
and brothers to fight for our liberty
5000 miles from home in a country
already sore and afflicted, surely we
cannot do less than prepare to take
care of them in their day of suffer
ing

NO U-BoATs THIS SIDE
officials Say Report Is Invention of
Summer Visitors.

summer ViSILOFS.
New York, May 2S-The Associated
Press was informed Saturday by Off
cials of the German foreign office at
Berlin that no German naval forces
had recently been dispatched across
the Atlantic. A rumor that Ger
man submarine was at present in
American waters was dismissed by
the government officials as prob
able invention of early summer visi-
tors to the Maine coast resorts who
are endeavoring to deprive the famil-
lar sea serpent of its prerogatives.
There have been frequent reports
of German submarine activity on the
Atlantic seoboard. On April II, the
American destroyer Smith was said
to have narrowly escaped a torpedo
fired by a German submarine when
at a point east of Fire Island. This
report elected the official denial from
the German government that any
submarine boats were in the western
half of the Atlantic More recently
it was reported that German u
boats had been sighted off the Maine
coast. According to shippers arriv-
ing at American ports last week from
Newfoundland, these reports were
inspired by the antics of a school of
whales which were disporting them
selves in the waters between Mon
tauk point and Newfoundland

AMERICANS AS HOSTAGES
81 Citizens Of the United States Are
Held as Prisoners.

Geneva, May 27.-The Associated
Press is informed that the Geneva
Red Cross has received thus far the
names of 81 American prisoners in
Germany. The list has been forward
ed to Washington. The majority of
the American prisoners are sailors
from captured ships who were taken
before the declaration of state Of
war between the United States and
Germany, and therefore, it is claimed
should, according to international
law, be released.
Nevertheless, Germany is OBTAINING
them as hostages. The American pris-
oners are interned in two camps and
are treated under the same severe
regime as are British prisoners. The
British prisoners receive parcels OF
food from home, but the Americans
are suffering from hunger.
