FINAL RECRUITING DRIVE

Effort to Be Made to Fill First Yer
..... mont with Volunteers ......
An attempt Is to be made during
the next week in bennington County
TO recruit men for the First Vermont
5infantry to fill up the depleted ranks
caused by transfers of men to the
ammunition train of the 26th division
and to the 103d U. s. infantry. 1t is
desired to fill the ranks with volun-
! teers as far as possible.
lit is improbable that there will be
any more transfer from this regiment,
IL is practically assured to any man
that enlists now that he will remain
with the Vermont organization. The
regiment will probably go to Char
lotte, North Carolina in the near fu-
ture for winter training and will so
to France next Spring.
Any man between the ages of Is
and 45 may enlist. No written CON
sent of the parents or guardian is re-
quired for young men from Is to 21.
Any man who has been drafted may
enlist any time before he has been
called for physical examination.
Transportation will be furnished to
Westfeld. where the First Vermont
Infantry is at present encamped and
the return fare should the man fail
to pass the required physical examin-
alton. Any man who volunteers at
this time is entitled to the extra pay
of $1,000 per month from the state
For the present the recruiting
headquarters will be at the Banner
office, which will be open during the
day and each evening from 7:15 until
8:15. The Office will be open at
noon from II to for the convenience
of those who find it impossible to
come during working hours. Ap
pointments can be made at any time
by calling 9-Y or Or and an effort will
be made to reach any man who can
not conveniently come to the Office
Corp. Il. p. Howe of Co. will have
charge of the recruiting for the pres
ent and other Bennington men in the
service will probably be sent here in
the near future,

SMALL SALES NEEDED
Subscriptions SO Far Larger Than
During First Campaign But
Not Enough of Them.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The Liberty
loan has moved only s1S,730,550 near
er its $4,000 100000 goal or approx
mately one-third of l per cent. The
total for the entire campaign thus
far, as officially announced last night,
stands still at less than Z per cent
on the basis of returns received yes
terday and including subscriptions
reported to all reserve banks except
Minneapolis, up to the close of busi-
ness Thursday. AT the rate of sub
scriptions reported yesterday it would
take from eight to nine months to
obtain the $5,O0O0OO,O0O desired
"At the end of IL days sale of sec
ond Liberty loan bonds" the treas
ury department. announcement reads
total subscriptions of $344,195 $50
had been reported to II of the II re-
serve banks in the Uniteo States.
This is less than per cent of the
maximum amount of subscriptions ex-
pected by Secretary McAdoo before
the close of the drive for $4,000, ,O00,-
600 on the 9th.
While the official figures received
from different sections indicate that
subscriptions are much larger than
those shown by the official returns,
progress made this far is causing no
optimism
THE particular need of the cam
paign, workers report, is an increased
number of small subscriptions to
spread the message of the loan, and
with this end in view, the rallying
cry of Ten million Liberty bond
buyers will be sounded throughout
the land in the coming days OF the
drive"
Analysis of the official figures an
nounced last night indicates that no
report was received in time for in
clusion in the tabulation from New
York and Atlanta, the total announc-
ed from these districts standing just
where it was Thursday night The re-
port is therefore far from complete.
There is no showing for Minneapolis
and Kansas City shows change of
only 5000 for the day for the entire
district--a situation which officials
admit is almost inconceivable.
Chicago is credited with an increase
of only sSS5,00o for the day and
Cleveland is given only $4,000 more
than reported Thursday, both reports
indicating that only small per-
too Of ctthcarinfiOnc nntnn1lx
made was reported to the reserve
banks.
New England, with an increase for
the day of $4,000, 900 showed the big
gest advance, it's total of $4S,600,O00
being approximately the figure re
ported from Boston. San Francisco
according to the official report, added
$6,044,2OO to it's previous busscrip-
tions. Other additions were: Phila-
delphia, $1,129,S50; Richmond, 81
131,450 St Louis. s1,3S4,O5O, and
Dallas, 100000.

DEPUTY PURDY
LANDS ALLEN
IN JAIL AGAIN
Escaped Prisoner Who Filed
Out Of New Steel Cell
FOUND AT LAKE GEORGE
Alleged Horsethief Traced to Home of
Aunt Who Lived in Town Of
Warrensburgh, NJ. Y.

Eugene Allen. who filed his way out
of the new addition to the Bennington
county Jail little over a week ago,
did not remain long at liberty. De-
putty Sheriff James d. Purdy of Man
chester arrived here today with Al
len and the alleged horse thief is
once more behind the bars.
Allen was re-captured in the town
of Warrensburgh. N. Y, where he had
formerly lived. AS soon as Sheriff
Godfrey learned that Allen had es-
capped he called the deputy on the
phone and the latter at once got
busy on the job of returning Alien to
custody
At the time he arrested Allen for
the alleged theft Of horse from the
American Realty company in Peru he
took the pains to learn something of
the mans previous life By questions
he found out that Allen had an aunt
who lived on the side OF the noun
tain near Lake George in the town OF
Warrensburgh. He also learned that
the escaped iailbird had two children,
one OF whom had been placed with a
brother-in-law and the other in
county home. 1t was the deputy's be-
lief that Allen, and his wife who left
Bennington on the same night, would
at once make Tor Lake George.
The deputy put himself in commun-
ication with the New York state Of
ficers and the deputies in the vicin-
ity of Lake George were instructed
to look out for Allen. The informa-
ton that resulted in the mars arrest
was obtained from a game warden
who reported that ne saw a stranger
enter the mountain home -of Aliens
aunt. The house was surrounded at
night. Allen made no resistance, was
locked up for safe keeping and later
was turned over to the Vermont
authorities.
Allen admitted that he broke Jail
at Bennington. From what Deputy
Purdy could learn he is convinced
that Allen and his wife made the
journey from Bennington to Lake
George on foot. They slept one
night in barn and what food they
had on the way was purchased by
Mrs. Allen who had saved a little
money from her wages while employ
ed at one of the Bennington hotels.

RAIN CHECKS
HA|G'S DRIVE
IN FLANDERS
Turns SWampy Region Into
VeritabIe Quagmire
GAINED SOME GROUND
Progress Attained in Spite of Heavy
Barraee Fire From Ger
man Batteries.

London, Oct 13-For the first time
since he started his series of attacks
against the Germans positions in
Flanders, Field Marshal Haig has had
to cease an operation before all the
detectives set out for were attained.
It was an unusually heavy rainfall,
which started during the battle and
turned the already swampy region
over which the men were supposed to
pass into veritable quagmire, from
which they could not untrack them
selves for a forward move.
The drive, as has been customary
in Haig's strategy, was started in the
early hours of yesterday morning and
extended from near the Houtholst
wood to below the Ypres-Menin road.
At several points the British troops
succeeded in gaining ground over
fronts ranging up to a thousand yards
but here the rain intervened and the
fighting ceased for the day. During
the forward movement over the six
mile front, the British captured in
the aggregate about 600 prisoners.
The struggle was particularly bitter
north of Poelcapelle and around Pas
schendaele. In the latter region, the
Germans apparently have massed
their strongest array of troops, hop
ing to stay a further press forward by
the British toward the Ostend-Lille
railroad
The Germans we're expecting the
battle, for several hours prior to the
signal for the British to attack they
laid down a heavy barrage fire all
along the line, interspersing the rain
of steel and explosive shells with as
phyxiating gas bombs.
Considerably artillery activity still
prevails between the French and the
Germans along the Chemin des
Danes in Champagne and on the
Ypres sector, but no important in
fantry engagements have taken place.
Likewise in the Austro-Italian thea
ter and in Macedonia the big guns are
doing all the work except for recon
noitering and outpost encounters in
the latter region.
Along the Pskoff road in the
Riga sector on the Russian front the
Russians again have been forced to
give ground to the Germans under a
heavy artillery fire. Farther south,
however, the Russians in counter-at-
tacks have recaptured trenches,
which the Germans took from them

WILL PREVAIL
IN DOMINION
Sir Robert Borden Becomes
Premier of Canada
BREAKS WITH LAURiER
Advocates of Compulsory Military
Service Will Have Majority in
Coalition Cabinet.
BREAKS WITH LAURi6R

Ottawa, Ont Oct. 13,-With the
swearing in of nine new cabinet min
listers early yesterday, the members
of the liberal party in Canada who
see in compulsory military service
the only solution for bringing forth
the full strength of the Dominion in
ed hands with Sir Robert Borden and
completed the rupture between them
selves and Sir Wilfred Laurier which
started with the introduction of the
compulsory military service bill in
the House of Commons.
The new coalition cabinet will have
equal representation of conscription
liberals and conservatives and while
two of the liberal selections, F. b.
Carvell of New Brunswick. slated for
minister of marine and fisheries, and
George Murray, premier of Nova
Scotia, who is intended for the labor
portfolio, have not yet consented TO
join the government, it is expected TO
be only a question of hours before
they do so, said a dispatch from
Ottawa last night
This lines up the leaders of the two
parties for the coming election as
straight supporters of compulsory
military service or straight opponents
of this method of reinforcing Can
ada's fighting forces overseas, with
Sir Wilfred Laurier chief of the latter
and having as his lieutenants Frank
Oliver and William Pugsley who were
members of his last cabinet.
There is some doubt as to where
the new arrangement leaves George
p Graham, minister of railways un.
der the Laurier administration, ard
F. F. Pardee, chief liberal whip, both
of whom voted for the military ser,-
ice bill at its third reading, although
declaring themselves in favor of con
scription of wealth as well
AS matters stand at present II is a
little difficult to predict who will be
found opposing the government and
who will be supporting it when it
goes to the country in the elections,
put ~ - d piSlty Sdic buttc lldl Seu-
timent in favor of compulsory mill
tary service will be found lined up
solidly behind 1t.
The names OF 10 ministers in tie

The exceptionally large attendance
evidenced the high esteem in which
the deceased physician was held in
this community. DR.. Daley exempli-
fled in his life those qualifications that
haye made the family doctor an hon
ored character throughout the world.
Unusually well educated, both in his
profession and otherwise, possessed
of a sense of humor that succumbed
to no circumstances. kind, sympathe-
tic and genial he had won his way in
to the affections of Bennington peo-
pie and his death breaks friendships
that were many and close.
All of his seven children, two Of
whom, are in the service of the coun-
try, were at the service. Mrs. Daley
was unable to come to Bennington
from New York, because Of illness.
The burial was in the old Catholic
