MORE AMERICAN PRISONERS
Flfty-Seven on Esmaraldas Prize OF
German Raider.

Newport News, Va, March 25.-
The sinking of the British steamer
Esmeralds by the German commerce
raider Move, news of which was first
received here today by Representative
es OF the British Government and Of
ficially confirmed in dispatch from
Berlin. will furnish the American
Government a problem similar to that
presented by the Yarrowdale case.
There were fifty.seven Americans
on the Esmeraldas when she was
captured and sunk, and these were
taken to Germany aboard the Move.
The men. all of whom were employed
as foremen or hostlers, were signed
on at Newport News. The Esmeraldas
left here Jan. 2S with a full cargo OF
live stock and sailed from the other
side six weeks ago. 1t is presumed
here that she was among the last
prizes taken by the Move before the
commerce destroyer made for home.

ANNUAL MUSICALE
Best Fortnightly Entertainment of
the Winter.

the Winter.
Lovers of good music enjoyed a
real treat on Saturday afternoon,
when Ulysse Buhler. pianist and
Georges Vigneti. violinist appeared
before the Fortnightly club. in its an
nual musicale.
Mr. Buhler. the originator and d.
rector of the wellknown Buhler
Chamber Music club of Pittsfield,
which has recently disbanded, is an
artist of no small ability. His play
ing shows wonderful technique and
musical understanding. and his style
is vivid and mastery. His rendering
of Chopin leaves no room for doubt
as to his place in the foremost rank
of pianists of today.
The charm of Mr.. Vigneti's playing
is unmistakable and the hearer is
10th to have it broken. His individu-
atty of style is revealed in the Soma
Ia in d by Fibich with which the
program opened, but each number
brought out in a marked degree, his
brilliancy of style and sweetness of
tones. The many expressions of
pleasure after the program denoted
that both artists were genuinely APP
preciated. The program follows;
Fibich--Sonato for violin and Piano,
in d.

BENNINGTON Blue
BIRDS LOOKING
FOR HOMES
Mrs. Bradford Offers Prizes to
Stimulate House Building
PLAN OF LAST YEAR RENEWED
Boy and Girl Competitors Must Be rs
or Under and Winning DomiciIes
Must Raise Bird Families.

During the next month several
hundred blue birds will be in town
looking for homes. Each blue bird is
guaranteed to work from sunrise to
sunset catching bugs, flies and
worms, so it is easily seen that each
garden and yard needs at least one
family OF blue birds.
Since the blue birds are not car
penters and can not build for them
selves we must provide houses for
them. So continuing the work start
ed last year prize Of five dollars is
offered by Mrs. William H. Bradford
for bird houses. Two dollars for the
best bird house and one dollar each
to the next three.
The conditions are the same as last
year.
The boy or girl who builds the
house must not be over fifteen years
of age
The house must be occupied by
some bird other than an English Spar
row or Startling and family of young
birds raised.
The children are to notify Mrs.
Bradford or Mrs. Ross when they
have a family in the house so the
house may be inspected.

BREAKS HIS LEG.
IN MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT
Samuel 4. Patterson, Jr., Badly
Hurt on Main Street sunday
BOTH BONES ARE FRACTURED
Machine Skidded When Driver Was
Attempting to Avoid coIIidins
With Pedestrians.

Samuel A. Patterson, jr, suffered
a fracture OF both bones of the lower
third of his right leg Sunday after
noon about 5 O'Clock, when his motor
cycle, on which he was making the
turn from Main street down North,
skidded and fell on his leg.
Chains on the rear wheel are
thought to have been the cause Of the
accident, as he was going less than
10 miles an hour The young man
had practically made the turn, when
he attempted to make still wider
curve in order to avoid striking some
persons on the crosswalk and. lean
ing over too far to keep his balance,
the rear wheel slipped on the dry
road and threw him off. He had
presence of mind enough to shut off
the power. He was carried to
DR.. Gardeners office.
DR.. Gardiner set the break and took
the injured man to Troy in an auto
mobile He Is now at the Samaritan
hospital. where an X-ray examination
will be made today. 1t is thought that
it will be six weeks before he can be
brought home. His mother is with
him at the hospital.

THE CHORAL CONCERT
Enjoyable Musical Entertainment
Promised for Tomorrow Evening.

FTOfIfIcCd TT fSftVsi0W
The choral concert to be given to-
morrow evening at the High school
hall by the Community Glee Club
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting musical entertainments Ben
nington has had in long time The
program details are now complete and
the chorus mum bers supplemented by
the solos of James C. Morton are
bound to please all who have the
least desire for music. Mr.. Morton
sang in Bennington three years ago
with the Adams musical society and
many who heard this favorite tenor at
that time will appreciate this oppor-
tunity of hearing him again.
The chorus singing, which has been
under the direction of Prof. W. c..
Chambers for the past three months
is what might be called marvellous.
While most OF the singers are the
best of our local talent other voices
have been developed wonderfully un-
der Prof. Chambers leadership.
The Glee Club has been under con
siderable expense to carry on the
work this season and the future of
this department of the Welfare AS
socation's work depends upon the
response from the public tomorrow
evening.
Miss Beulah Whitney. soprano of
Pittsfield will also assist in the pro-
gram as soloist and with Mr.. Morton
in duet Miss Whitney comes
highly recommended although she is
not SO well known to Bennington
people. The complete program is as
follows:

APPEAL FOR RECRUITS
President Orders Navy Increased tc
$1,000 Men.

Washington March 26.-The secre-
tary of the navy last night sent the
following telegram to the newspap-
ers:
THE president tonight signed an
executive order directing that the
authorized enlisted strength by the
navy be increased to $1,000 He was
authorized by. Congress, in case of
emergency, to direct such increase in

as rapidly as possible and the need is
imperative for larger enlistment to
man them. There has been a net in
crease of over $500 in enlistment
since Congress recently authorized an
increase, but many more are need
ed and needed now.
Will you not emphasize this need
by giving special prominence Monday
on the first page of your paper, to
the presidents order. and also by
making an editorial appeal for new re
cruits for the navy?
The navy offers exceptional ad-
vantages to young men of stuff and
ambition to serve in the first line for
national defense. In this emergency
you have the opportunity and the
privilege of performing this public
service, and am confidently appeal
ing to you for your cordial and help

TWO new ARMY DEPARTMENTS
No Other Changes in Military Branch
Contemplated Without Action by
Congress.

Washington, March 26-President
Wilson took steps yesterday to place
the nation on a war footing. BY exc
cutive order, he directed that the
navy be recruited without delay to
full authorized war strength Of $1,000
enlisted men. Taken in connection
with emergency naval construction al
ready ordered, this means that the
president has exercised the full limit
of his legal powers as commander-in,
chief to prepare the navy for war.
For the army, the president direct
ed that two new military departments
be created in the Atlantic coast
region. The order means that the
task of organizing whatever army Con
gress may authorize will be divided
among six departmental commanders,
instead of four, in the interests OF
speed and efficiency in mobilization.
The presidents orders were made
known in terse official statements is
sued by both departments. No expla-
nation accompanied them except the
statement that reorganization of the
military departments, effective May
/. was designed to facilitate decentra-
tion of command Following is the
executive order bringing the navy up
TO war strength:
by virtue OF the authority vested
in the president by the act of Con-
gress approved August 29, 1916, en-
titled "An act making appropriations
for the naval service for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1917, and for
other purposes, it is hereby directed
that the authorized enlisted strength
OF the navy be increased 10 $1,000
men. nQ yeaAr sic
tSigned) Woodrow Wilson,
The Il navy must enroll i'm
mediately approximately 10000 men
to reach the required strength, Secre
Jtary Daniels supplemented it last
night with personal kilograms to
newspaper editors all over the coun-
try urging them TO aid the depart
ment in every way in their power TO
obtain the men.
Congress must determine the sys-
tenn under which an army is to be
raised Yesterdays action provides
more elastic machinery. found neces-
sary as a result of the recent border
mobilization, for the enrolling and
training OF great army, whether
raised as volunteers. by conscription
or through a universal service bill.
Indications last night were that the
administration planned to await ac-
ton by Congress before further war
Arla Drncf
dent Wilson has authority TO direct
that the regular army be brought up
to full war strength at once and also
to call out the remainder of the ma
tional guard and the naval militia.
, At the navy department 1t was
learned that Congress would be re-
quested to authorize an increase be-
yond the $1,000 war strength limit
for enlisted personnel now set. The
organization of great fleets of sub
marine ohasers will make necessary
the enlistment of many thousand
more men than planned for when the
present act was framed Every fight

to be completed. could be manned
with the $1,000 jackies, but there
would not be a sufficient margin to al
low from the many necessary auxliar-
les as well.
