A new phase Of tie submarine ques-
ton Involving the United States came
up when the German merchant sub
marine Deutschland arrived at Balti-
more with q cargo of German goods
Although the Deutschland was not
armed, the entente powers asked the
United States to trent her class as war
ships, which the state department de-
clined to 40. The vessel sailed for
Germany In August and arrived at
New London on return trip Nov. l..
Meanwhile on Oct. = the armed Ger
man submarine U-53 entered Newport
harbor, coming direct from Wiihelms-
haven. She received the usual privi-
leges Of a a,warship in a, neutral port.
Next day, off Nantucket shoals. Unit
ed States coast, she torpedceds and
sanE three British and two neutral
..s,ps, giving the warning rs previous.
E pledged by Germany for tlnarmetd 'Il3t
ships. All on board escaped. The.
United States treated the matter as
simply an extension Of the naval war var
zone ana notified the allied powers on
/ Oct. 10 that this country would. con- con-
stinue to apply existing rules OF war
fare to submarines.

TOWN WANTS FIRE TRUCKS
Seeks Arrangement for Use of Ap
paratus Outsidc the VILLAGE.

ScckS arrangement IoT voc VI HP'
.paratus Outside the Village.
Since the burning of the barn last
Thursday on the farm of Mrs. Martin
Cone there has arisen a considerable
demand for some kind of reciprocal
arrangement whereby the village fire
trucks may be taken outside of the
village in case of fire without the
preliminary red tape that exists al
the present time.
Last Thursday the chief engineer
happened to be out of town and cne
of the assistants was outside of the
village. Before Village Clerk Hogan
could adjust matters to permit the
ordering out of the trucks at least
half an hour had elapsed, time
enough to burn down a half dozen
barns.
When the trucks reached the scene
of the fire they did excellent service
and helped to prevent the spread OF
the fire to adjoining buildings. This
is the first time the trucks have been
used and the manner in which the
chemical smothered the flames was a
convincing argument FOR the crowd
of people who had gathered about the
burning barn.
Residents of the town are now anx
ious to bring about some arrange
ment whereby one, or perhaps two
of the trucks, may be sent to a fire
outside the village as soon as infor
nation can be communicated tc
some one of the village officials, pre-
ferably the village clerk who is al
his Office during the entire day ant
whose long association with the fire
department has given him know
ledge of conditions.
What action will be taken in the
matter has not been determined, but
it is probable that some arrangement
will be made in the near future.

DENTISTS "DRAFTE0".

Requests have been sent out from
the War Department to every dentist
in the State of Vermont asking for
at least one hour each day to be de-
voted to the care of the teeth OF
drafted men.
The officers of the State Dental
society have appointed chairman
for each county whose duty is to or
ganize the dentists of his county and
get the work under way as soon as
possible Every dentist in Benning
ton county has received a notice with
return postal card attached asking
him to set aside definite time
each day for free service for the mer
accepted and not claiming exemp
ton, in this coounty. 1t is hoped and
expected that everyone will do his
part
The chairman will find out from
the local CONSUMPTION board the
names and addresses Of the accepted
men yet to go and will send then
notices of the time and place they are
to call for an examination of theil
teeth. If it is found that they need
their teeth attended to they will be
sent to a volunteer dentist who viii
do what he can in one setting and
make no return appointment with
out notifying the chairman to see II
there are others in need of his serv
ices. 1t must be remembered thai
it is better to improve the teeth oi
all that can be served than to make
perfect the teeth of few
The dentists in Bennington will
receive further information as soon
as it can be obtained.

year teaching 7th and 8th grade de-
partmental work at North Attleborc

chosen vocation of teaching, but also
in all womanly activities, being a
willing worker in all efforts for the
betterment of the community. Her
genial and fun loving disposition
was tempered by remarkably good
Judgment and stirling qualities OF
character. her future seeming to
hold much promise of a useful happy
life. She will not only be greatly
missed in her home, but by the COM
munity and large circle of friends.
Miss Howard is survived by her
parents. five brothers: George, Earle,
Raymond, Edward, and David and one
