The American Alliance of Labor and
Democracy, with Samuel GOmpers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of La
Dor, as its head, has been organized in
New York to see that the government
has the support of Labor during the war,
and to combat the influence of the So
cialist Workmen IS council, which con
sentative labor leaders consider danger
GUS to the prosecution of the war. Mr.
Gompers and the other leaders of organ
lied labor purpose to see that the labor
ing men of the country fulfill their
promises of support to the government
in the present crisis, and honest labor
will undoubtedly give hearty support tc
these efforts.

THE FOURTH YEAR.

Wednesday marked the beginning of the
fourth year of the European war AL
though Austria declared war on Serbia
July %, 1914, it was not until August l
that the greater conflict began, with Ger
many's declaration of war on Russia and
her invasion of France and Luxembourg
without formal declaration. Great Britain
declared war on Germany Aug. 4.
The opening of the fourth year finds
Germany on the defensive on most fronts
She still, however, is fighting on hostile
soil almost everywhere, although her lines
are not nearly so far advanced as those
she held a year ago, particularly on the
western front, where the recent grand
drive of the allies has succeeded in push
ing back the Germans for considerable dis
tances.
The beginning of the fourth year of the
war finds the United States an active par
ticipant on the side of the entente allies

side, are likely to be the most momen
tous since the great conflict began and al
so, according to general prediction, thu
most disastrous to the central powers.

The Bennington Banner offers the
following sensible advice for applica-
ton in the super-heated period: 1.-the
most important help in keeping cool
is to keep one S temper smooth and UNI
rufled. The good natured, smiling, hap
py-dispositioned person does not suffer
from the heat as does person who is
cranky, ill-tempered and peevish. Sec
ond in Importance is to eat moderately
of non heating food Fruit, cereals, sal
ads, sandwiches, bread and milk and ice
cream are better hot weather diet thar
hearty food such as is desirable in cold
weather. Also drink not to excess, par
ticularly of ice water or drinks that con
tain much sweet or much alcohol. TEN
perance in eating, drinking and tempe
are the greatest hot weather helps"

Lowell, Mass

A garden cultivated by Vermont wo-
man in the city of Lowell, Mass, has

comments of approval on the part of Low

garden is the property of Mrs r. f. Or

HURRYING BIC HAY
CROP INTO BARNS
Farmers Making Most Of Excel.
lent Weather
Not Much Produce Will Go to Waste
Help Is Scarce, However, Which Re-
quires Speeding UP.

The farmers who are busily engaged in
getting in one of the biggest hay crops
that has come their way in some years
have little or no fault to find with exist
ing weather conditions. The total lack
of rain and the extreme dry, hot wealth
er make ideal conditions for cutting, cur
ing and storing this crop.
A bayfield, is not exactly a comfortable
place to put in 10 or II hours with the
mercury crowding the tops of the Their
momctcrs, but good hay weather is the
kind that keeps the perspration run
ming in streams and for the last week
person has not been forced to a bayfield,
to appreciate the fact that this is hay
weather.
The housing of the hay crop is little
slower than the owners would wish and
slower than would be the case if there
were to be found plenty of men willing
to earn good money for hard work. Many
of the farmers have taken on boys to do
what they can and by the end of this
week the great bulk of the hay will be
under cover and well cured.
| The farmers round about Brattleboro
are not so badly hit for lack of help "a
are the big market gardeners further
south in the Connecticut valley In this
locality not many farmers planted more
than they were sure they could cultivate
and harvest with ordinary luck, and
while they are driven to the last notch
of speed and endurance to keep pace
with the ripening crops, with reasonable
luck they will pull through in most cases
without much of the produce going to
waste.
This should not be taken to indicate
that there is not plenty of work waiting
for any man or large boy who feels the
call of nature to return to the fields.
He can find job so quickly that he does
mot want to start out looking for one
with no intention of taking it, for once
he applies there will be no backing out

DOCTORS PATRIOTIC.

Those conversant with the high ethical
standard of the medical profession are
not surprised to learn that among no
special group of citizens has the call to
the service been more readily answered
than by those who practice the art of
healing The nature of the profession is
one which calls for constant sacrifice of
personal comfort, and the daily rounds
of the good physician are II ncycr-ending
battle with disease which trains body,
mind and soul to The habits of self con
troll and self forgetfulncss. 1t is an
nounccd that the medical branch of the
army will require the services of 100000
men within the next year, of whom
$1,000 must be trained physicians and
surgeons, with the remainder enlisted
men for the medical corps The extent
Of the response to this call is shown by
the fact that the first 10000 trained med
zeal oInccrs are in sight, commissions
cal officers in the reserve corps of the
army. The demand that is to be made
on the medical profession is very heavy
for estimating that there are 10000 ply
sicians of military age i'll the country
needs of the medical branch of the army
for the next year alone, will require that
one in every four shall give up private
practice for medical service.

Bennington is the only large town in
Vermont which has direct trolley connec-
tions with Boston and New York. The
connecting link between Lee and Hunt
ington, Mass, was opened this week,
making it possible to get from Pittsfield
to Springfield. For several years Ben
nington has had connections with Pitts
field. While it is not probable that
many people will travel from Vermont to
New York and Boston by trolley car it is
interesting to know that Bennington is
now connected by electric railway with
the big systems of New England, New
York and PEiladelphia-the most exten
sive trolley system in the world, includ
ing with all their branches thousands o
miles of road in the northern and east
crn states.

BIG ALLIED OFFENSIVE.
German Lines Penetrated One to Three
Miles and 10 Villages and $500
Prisoners Captured

One of the most successful offensives
in the history of the war on the western
front was launched Tuesday by the
British and French forces, after ter
rife bombardment of the German lines
two or three days by the artillery.
The allied forces penetrated the Ger
man lines a distance of one to three
miles on front of many miles in ex
tent. The British captured 10 towns
and took more than $500 prisoners.
The casualties of the entente allies il
said to have been surprisingly small
and the morale of the troops continue
at the highest pitch.

The LIST Vermont showed up well at

in review with the three cavalry rcgi-

the reviewing officer, Gen. Edwards, at
double time. The heat was terrific, yet
the men made the mile on the run with
out losing man by exhaustion. Yes
tcrday General Dickman, commanding
the brigade at Fort Ethan Allen, sent for
Col. Thomas and complimented the men
of the regiment on their endurance and
fine spirit.
Some uncertainty exists as to what
will be required to comply with the for
mality of the draft, which ends the exis
tencc of the LIST Vermont as a natiOna
guard unit. This uncertainty has caused
headquarters to hold up all passes TO
over Sunday. 1t is hoped that the sit
