Thereupon he de- cided to practice bit of deception and pretended to land Three hostile ma chimes proceeded to do the same so as to make him prisoner. Just as soon, however. as the British flier saw his adversaries touch the ground he started his engine and flew away to his home station.

All the controls, with the exception of one part of one Of the { elevators, were shot away and the body of the machine was severele damaged. The force of the explosion was such that the machine got into spin.

66 FROM BENNINGTON
County Was Given Credit for 81
Men Who Enlisted in Regiment
Previous to July First.

Bennington county has 80 men in
the First Vermont Infantry now at
Fort Ethan Allen and of these &C are
from the town of Bennington. The
list compiled at the regimental head
quarters is given below.
For some time the Banner has been
trying to secure an accurate list of
these young men and if there are any
errors in the list as printed below,
we should appreciate being notified so
the list may be corrected before the
boys leave the state.
For some time there have been re-
ports around by word of mouth that
Bennington county did not get full
credit on its draft quota for the en-
listments from here and this list
ought to show whether there is any
truth in the reports.
IL will be remembered that credit
was given the county for 81 enlist
ments up to June 80, when the credit
was withdrawn all over the country
Inasmuch as everybody knows that a
considerable number of the enlist
ments we're later than July /, il
seems probable that this county got
full credit for those who gave their
residence as anywhere in Bennington
county.
While Bennington has much lar
ger number of men in the regiment
than all the rest of the county com
hined. the little town of Searsbure
has the most in proportion to popula

On Final Visit Before Going
to France
MARCHED IN PARADE
Grim Possibilities of War Rob Battle
Day Anniversary Of Its Usual
Festive Activities.

August 16 was not holiday in
Bennington this year. 1t was the an
niyersary of the big event that has
given Bennington a large place in
the history of the nation but the fes-
tive spirit that has characterized the
day in many previous years was lack
ing. Wars grim possibilities, due to
the presence in the village of the
young men who are representing the
county in the first Vermont regiment,
gripped the souls of parents, broth
ers, sisters and sweethearts as has
not been the case since the nation en-
tered the war Although there were
cheers for the boys in khaki as they
swung through the streets with the
tread of thoroughly drilled and sea-
soned men, there was q quaver OF
tears in the cheers. 1t was known
that the boys were in town on their
last leaves of absence before en-
training for the camp at Charlotte,
N. c., and that word last" had an
ominous meaning in many Benning-
ton homes.
The soldiers arrived from Fort
Ethan Allen on the early morning
train Thursday on leaves of absence
that will expire Saturday morning
making it necessary for them to leave
here tonight. During their absence
from the post they are under military
discipline and are in charge of Capt.
Baker of company X and Lieut.. Boyd,
the latter a. former resident of Ben
nington.
Thursday morning the soldiers
were given the position of honor in
the annual parade of the Bennington
fire department. The line of march
was from the fire station of Stafford
street, east over Main to Depot from
Depot to River, over River TO North,
North to Pleasant, to School, to Gage
where the parade partially disorganiz-
ed and the soldiers came into closer
formation. Reorganized, the parade
marched over School street to Main
and to Putnam square where the sol
diers broke ranks,
The boys made an excellent ap-
pearance The parade did not call
for many evolutions but those re-
quired we're executed with the precis-
ion and ease that have always charac
terized the work of the American
soldier. Not every soldier on leave
took part in the parade but there
were more than half hundred in
line.
