The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1917-07-09

Germans enjoy in the United States,
Let us ask the simple question. why
should not the German admiralty
have known Of the sailing of the
Pershing expedition and have taken
measures to attack it at sea? The
president of the United States him
self made a public announcement
that an army division would be sent
to France without delay. Gen Per
shing's arrival at "a British port was
published throughout the world |;
when he crossed the channel all the
British newspapers carried the news
not to mention cur own newspapers
and the London newspapers are not
long in reaching Berlin. The Ger
man admiralty couldn't have been SC
stupid as not to expect the expedi
ton to follow very soon after the ar
rival OF It's commanding general il
Francc.-Springfield Republican.

north of Belington and killed 10
head Of fine cattle. Is of the
number belonged to C. C. Right,
one to Walter Criss, one of ia
cob Bennett and the other one
to Geo. Coontz. The loss is es-
timated at about $1,S8O,O0, no

fortune especially so to Mr..
Right.
Mr.. Keller who lives on the
farm did not find the missing
cattle until Tuesday at which
time the owners were notified.
Mr.. Right lost a fine horse
some time ago, which makes his

THE LINCOLN YOUTHS
CHAUTAUQUA
To Be Real Patriotic Affair.

10 be zeal Patriotic Affair.
The program for the Lincoln
Youths Chautauqua this year is
better and bigger than ever. A
trained play director will be in
charge of this feature the entire
week, land a college man with the
tent crew will give special atten-
ton to the boys athletics, direct
ing their play activities every
morning except the opening day.
The parade and play festival
put on by the young people the
night before the opening day, to
usher in chautaukua week relay
races and games each night, ex-
cept Sunday, one-half hour be-
fore the evening program; the
National Badge test for both
boys and girls, hikes, and last
but not least, the Young Peo-
pies Community Picnic are 9TH
er interesting features. The
program of games and athletics
with new and original features
will begin each morning at $50.
The object of the Lincoln
Youths Chautauqua is to give
all the boys and girls of the COM
munity of learning the games
best suited to their age and de-
velopment. Young people de-
velop character and good citi-
zenship through their games,
strengthening their social STAN
dards and combining mental,
moral, physical and spiritual
proficiency in wholesome recre-
alton. Our desire is that the par
ents and teachers fully realize
the Importance of this feature.
We urge them to take an active
part in the Youths Chautauqua
and attend eevry session if posi-
BILE. There will be a round ia
BILE DISCUSSION one afternoon at
400 o'clock led by the play di-
rector for the benefit of parents
and teachers. Attend and learn
to organize and maintain the
home, the school and the. COM
munity playground. Definite
announcement of this will be
made by the superintendent.
The play program will be for
mally opened each morning by
the raising of the flag at the
tent, the boys and girls giving
the following flag salute:
eve, the children of many
lands, who find rest under thy
folds, do pledge our lives, our
hearts and our sacred honor, to
love and protect thee, our Coun-
try and the liberty Of the Amer
lean people forever"
Each night just before the
games, the boys and girls will
stand at attention while the
beautiful emblem of American
liberty is lowered.
In connection with the above
program for the week, one night
near the close of the Chautauqua
the young people of the COM
munity will present costumed
pageant. It is a presentation
of real Patriotism: Subject,
America Yesterday and To-
day."

ROOSEVELT FLATLY
TURNED DOWN

washington, May 18.-Pres-
ident Wilson tonight signed
the CONSUMPTION bill despite op-
| position which manifested it.
self at the eleventh hour in
many quarters.
In signing the bill the Presi-
dent issued statment flatly
rejecting that section of the
measure which would permit
Colonel Roosevelt to organize
volunteer divisions.
The draft bill calls men be-
tween twenty-one and thirty.
The 100000 conscripts who will
be chosen from the 10000, 900
men within the specified ape
limits who are expected to reg
lister will be called to the train
ing camps about September l.
With the going into effect of
CONSUMPTION the supreme test Of
patriotism is going to be put up
on the people of the country.
For the first time the grim real
ity of Americas entry into the
war is to be brought home
clearly to the nation.
Although the Government is
armed with full and sufficient
powers under the bill to take
the men it needs, there is to be
nothing of severity in the man
ner in which the draft goes into
effect.
Eligible young men, who have
not previously enlisted in the
regular army or the National
Guard, are expected to walk up
to the registration offices and
register, regardless of whether
they consider themselves physi-
cally fit or not and regardless of
how they will be able subse--
quently to prove that they are
entitled to exemption as mar
ried men or the supporters Of
dependent relatives.
In the meantime the War De-
partment is bending every eff
fort to get the 100000 volun-
teers that will be needed to fill
up to war strength the ranks Of
the regular army and the Ma
tional Guard. At present the
National Guard organizations
that are in service haev not been
entirely raised to the full peace
strength of 100 men in a compa--
ny of infantry.
The building Of the training
cantonments- thirty-two little
cities of 1000 houses and each
capable of housing military
division Of $4,000 men-has al
ready been provided for the Ma
tional Guard and the regulars.
AS soon as these are com
pleted additional quarters viii
be provided for the conscript,
for it is the purpose of the de-
partment to have the National
Guard and the regulars in camp
at full war strength and ready
to shoulder the work of helping
to train the conscripts by the
time the latter are called out.
Americas military and nav
al place in the way being rapid
ly cast from now on, the no less
important functions she is to
perform of financing and feed
ing her allies are being arrang-
ed for with more or less speed.
A billion dolalrs in round fig
ures has already been lent these
allies out of the three billions to
be placed at their disposal, and
the Treasury is bending every
effort to speed up the sale of tho
Government war bonds.

The condition of the graves
on the old Mustoe place near
Belington, where Confederate
soldiers, who died while Gener-
al Garnet was camped there,
are buried, has been reported
several times to the Randolph
Chapter Daughters of the Con-
fedracy, with requests that they
be suitably marked, and fenced
in, as they are now in an open
field. We have been told by one
gentleman interested in seeing
them properly cared for, that
there are eleven graves, group
ed closely together, under a
large apple tree which has
grown up since; that the men
were members of a Georgia
Regiment and died from sick
ness in camp, one being shot
accidentally. Another report
says there are fourteen or fif-
teen graves, and we would like
to have any information upon
the subject from any one living
thereabout at the time or any
one having information relative
thereto.
We have been told that the
land now belongs to an estate,
the Phares estate, and while we
might not be decided the site of
the graves outright as we were
in Beverly with the graves of
the deed from the battle of Rich
Mountain, that there would be
no objection raised to our fenc-
ing the graves, and marking
them, and that we would readi-
ly be granted permission to go
in and out to the grave plot, eX-
cept at such time as there was a
crop in the surrounding field.
We have been told that there
were originally stone slabs with
the names cut on them but
these are now gone and we
would be glad to hear from any
one remembering any of the
names, ETC., on the slabs.
But for lack of funds we
would have tried to reach this
work sooner, as we have been
much interested. We have felt
our duty first to the living, and
have been able to send flowers
and delicacies in some cases,a land
necessities in others, to aged
and suffering Veterans, but it
has taken all we could make. We
will take charge of the work if
desired and see a good strong
fence put around the plot and
a suitable marker at the graves,
and will give of our own funds
as far as we can, if the good
people of Barbour, who are in
terested, will help us in every
way by information, and con-
tributions. We would be glad
to receive any suggestions, and
hope we shall receive some in
the near future, and commune
cations can be addressed to our
Secretary, Mrs. B. C. Downing,
Elkins, West Virginia.

Peace at
Any Price,,
Their Plea
Austrian Hungarian People War;
Weary and Praying for
End of Conflict.

Berne. Switzerland, April IT,
Peace and spring weather are what
the Austrian and Hungarian people
most desire. During long stay in
Vienna, when the Associated Press
correspondent has just come, there
was every indication that the govern
ment and people were willing to ac-
cept any peace proposal, leaving
Austro-Hungarian territory intact
and making no place for war indem-
mites. BY the same token there ap'
pears to be no doubt but that the de-
mocracy will continue fighting unless
the minimum conditions are met.
The demands made on Austro-
Hungarian economic resources by
the war are beginning to reach the
limit of bearableness and the severe
winter. whose after effect are still
felt, tended to increase the great
burden borne by the population. the
seeding OF crops is about three weeks
late.

AT FRIEBURG

Berlin, April 1.-THE war Office
announces that II persons have been
killed, 20 injured, and considerable
damage done to the university build
ings by an aeroplane attack on Erie
burg,
ITO this nefarious attack several
people unfortunately fell victims.
Seven women, three men, and one
soldier, were killed, and II women,
eight men and two children injured" 7"
says the statement.
"The leader of the attack, an Eng
lish lieutenant colonel, fell into our
hands. According to his statement,
and the contents of fly sheet which
was thrown down, the attack was in
reprisal for the torpedoing of the
Gloucester Castle, British hospital
ship, recently sunk by German sub
marine. In justification, our govern
ment gave England to understand In
time enough that it could not longer
tolerate the passage Of so-called hos
pital ships in the precisely defined
zone"
