CHARLES f. H. CRATHERN, JR.
Charles Crathern is lad about
twenty years of age and enlisted for
service early ia the spring before the
united States declared war on Ger
many. He left New York with the
first Dartmouth nit to serve n the
American Field Ambulance Corps on
May 5.
On arriving in Paris it was learned
by the Dartmouth contingent that
there were more drivers in the field
than ambulances and rather than
wait several weeks idle in Paris
many of the Dartmouth boys prefer
red to go right TO the front in the
Carrion Service of the French gov
ernment.
AS members of the French Service
the boys have seen and participated
In the actual conditions at the front
and many are the thrilling experi-
ences through which they have
passed.
Before going to France Charles
Crathern made splendid record as
an all.round athlete in school, acade-
my and college. He was champion
long distance runner Of Worcester
county having won number of cups
and medals in the interscholastic
contests.
He was captain of the Cross Coun-
try Track team both in Worcester
high school and Worcester academy
and has been a member of the win
ming teams in rowing, baseball, bas-
ket ball and tennis. He has also
excelIed in diving and swimming.
For several years Charles has been
a member of the Appalachian Noun
tain club OF Boston and has been a
constant companion of his father
since he was nine years old, on his
camping and tramping trips through
the White Mountains of New Hamp-
shire.
Mr.. Crathern has written number
of very interesting letters to his
folks at home and several friends of
the family who have heard them have
suggested that they be given a wider
hearins
The Rev. Mr.. Crathern has con-
sented to give TO the readers of the
Banner some OF these letters that
this Bennington boy, who has never
seen Bennington, may find place
awaiting him when he comes to his
Bennington home

PRESIDENT IS
NOW IN FAVOR
OF SUFFRAGE
Says 1t Is Time For States
To Act
WOMEN HAVE EARNED 1T
President Wilson Tells Delegation
That He Wishes Them All sus.
cess In Cause.

Washington, Oct. 25.-President
Wilson today gave full Endorsement
to woman suffrage as an immediate
issue in every State.
Addressing a delegation of 100
leaders of the New York State Suf-
frage Party. who called at the White
House to obtain an expression in
support of the campaign in that
State, the President, in emphatic
terms, declared that woman suffrage
is one of the fundamental questions
Of democracy, whose proper settle
ment is demanded by the issues of
the war. He praised the spirit, ca
pacity and vision of American wo.
men in the war
II believe" he said, that just be-
cause we are quickened by the ques-
tions of this war we ought to be
quickened to give this question of
woman suffrage our immediate con-
sideration."
Speaking as ''one of the spokes-
men of great party" the President
pledged his hearty support and add
ed:
Il want to speak for myself and
say that it seems to me that this is
the time for the States of this Union
to take this action"
Explaining his leaning toward suf-
frage as a State rather than national
issue, he said: 81 perhaps may be
touched a little too much by the ira
ditions of our politics-tradition
which lay such questions almost en-
tirely upon the States-but | want TO
see communities declare themselves
quickened at this time and show the
consequences OF the quickening."
The suffrage delegation returned
to New York tonight confident that
the Presidents enthusiastic endorse
ment would have its effect at the
election Nov. 6.

abandon important material, includ-
ing score of cannon, of which sew
eral were howitzers of $50. The total
number of cannon captured by us
since Oct. %. is about 120, to which
may be added several hundred min
nenwerfer and machine guns.
"In the course of the day we took
more than 1000 prisoners. Tho num-
ber of prisoners taken since the open
ing of the operation exceeds 10000
of which more than 200 are officers"
Copenhagen, Oct. 25.-The Ger
mans under pressure of the French
victory on the Aisne, may endeavor
to effect general retirement to a
new Hindenburg line well in the rear
of their present positions. Various
hints from German sources of late
have indicated that the German ex-
pcrts recognizing the menace, par
ticularly to the exposed salient south
southwest of Laon, were preparing a
new fortified line somewhere be-
tween Laon and their former front,
to which they expected to effect an
orderly retirement akin to their
spring withdrawal as soon as the
menace became pressing.
The French attack seems to have
anticipated this strategy and the ter
man withdrawal If made now under
the hammeriug of victorious oppo-
nent is likely to be quite different
operation from that planned.
