WILSON INAUGURATED
FOR A SECOND TERM.

Woodrow Wilson, with the
major part of the world at war
and with America poised on its
verge, consecrated his second in
auguration as president of the
United States Monday with a last
message of hope for peace.
Standing in the shadows of the
nation S capitol with his fac turn
ed toward the eastern war-seared
skies, the president renewed his
oath of allegiance to the constitu-
ton, praying to God that he might
be given wisdom and prudence to
do his duty in the true spirit of
the American people.
While trumpets blared and mar
tial accoutrements ratified proph-
etically about him, the president
pictured the deep wrongs the
United States patiently had borne
in the conflict of other peoples
without wishing to wrong or in
Jure in return. Asserting that
the tragedies of another CONT
nent had removed PRONUNCIATION
and made American citizens of
the world and that the principles
of this republic should be applied
TO a liberation of mankind, he
resOlutely voiced a determination
that America, standing firm in
armed neutrality" must Demon
strate her claim to minimum
of right and freedom of action"
in world affairs
Peculiar interest and signifi.
canoe, in the light of his rebuke
to senator's who prevented passage
of the armed neutrality bill were
attached to the presidents asser-
ton ON this point. Even more In
terest and concern were aroused
when he added:
We may even be drawn on
by circumstances, not by our ow.,
purposes or desire, to more active
assertion of our rights, as we sec
them and a more immediate asso
citation with the great struggle it
self. But nothi;.g win alter oul
thought or purpose. We desire
neither conques- Ior advantage
We wish nothing that can be hat
at the cost of another people. We
have always professed unselfisl
purpose and we covet the oppor
tunity to prove that our profes
sions are sincere"

London, Aug. 26-London was over

Piceadilly district, were thronged
with soldiers, some walking, some in

mixed with the Tommies, Australians
Canadians and Scotchmen in kits
and all agreed that London is fine

In some places, the Britons were

as usual, the beginners won. Craps
seems TO have captivated London
The Americans, who had not been at
liberty since their departure from the
United States, were lionized AZ
some corners women wer standing

pinned them on their hats.
Many took advantage of the new

PRAISE AMERICAN NURSES
Insignia Of Rank Would Aid in Many
Trying Places.

A demonstration OF the popularity
the American units have already won
in France was given few days ago,
when the American base hospital
staff, organized by the Roosevelt hos
pital, at New York, left after spend
ing a month in temporary French
military hospital, says the Associat-
ed Press.
Most of the regular inhabitants Of
the nelghboring villages came to the
station to wave farewell, and both
doctors and nurses were fairly delug
ed with flowers. The nurses, in white
uniforms, with red-lined blue capes.
had been striking figures about the
place and had won the frank admira-
tion of all the French people. A dis
tinguished French general personally
sent word he had heard with the
greatest pleasure the deep impress
| ion the American nurses had made
among the French medical staffs,
who had taken back home splendid
accounts OF their character and
| achievements.
The Roosevelt unit has now taken
over a great permanent hospital
in the American army zone and,
1 while awaiting American patients
will continue to care for large num-
ber OF French soldiers. The units
equipment is thorough. All the most
modern surgical and medical appli-
ances are being installed in the vari.
Gus wards. French residents in the
town near the new hospital base had
heard the Americans were coming
and gave them an enthusiastic greet
ing.

FOOD PINCH REAL
Traveller From Hamburg Says Teuton
Authorities Are Hard Pressed


An Atlantic Port, Aug. 26.-The
people of Germany are unquestionab-

Mr.. Bartholomew said he left Ger.

fore he was allowed to leave the
country, he was compelled to live in
small village some miles out OF

KlDDIEs' ANNUAL AUTO RIDE
One of the Closing Features Of Ben
nington's Playground Season.

II has been the pleasant custom for
several years past for the owners of
automobiles to offer their cars for one
hour at the close of the summer in
order TO give the playground members
a happy little outing. 1t is hoped
that this annual custom may be OBJ
served again this week for it is an oc-
casion that is looked forward to dur
ing the entire season by the children.
A committee of young ladies has
been appointed to call on all the car
owners that can be reached and they
viii solicit the cooperation of all
those who wish to help give the kid
dies good time. AS it is a very diff
cult matter to reach every one, any
who care to volunteer cars may call

NOT YET ASSIGNED
Were Busy Sunday in Getting Their
Camp Fixed Up Ready to
Occupy.

The Bennington boys from Fort
Ethan Allen are now mostly at Camp
Bartlett, Westfield, Mass. The big
gest bunch of them got there Sunday
morning. They arrived at Westheld
about o'clock, but did not get out to
the camp until 8.
The Vermont boys are said by visi.
tors from Bennington to have good
location in the camp and by Sunday
night were pretty well settled. They
did not have to clear the ground of
trees and brush as did some of the
New Hampshire and Maine troops
The camp site is rather sandy and
dusty, but well drained and apparent
ly healthy, but the water is not very
agreeable to the Vermont boys who
have been in the habit of drinking
pure Vermont spring water. The
water, however, is wholesome.
They did not have hard time OH
the trip down, but it took all night
and the cars we're not provided with
sofa pillows. They had enough to
eat and more and extra delicacies
were supplied at several points where
the train stopped
Not all the Vermont soldiers are
yet at Westfield unless the rest of
them went down last night. The
railroad company was apparently
able to carry only about 800 at one
time and the transportation of sol
diepe ie done all M night
The Banner now has list of the
assignment of the AZ Bennington boys
in Company l. This list may not yet
be printed, but friends and relatives
of the young men may see the list by
calling at The Banner Office or, II
they call up by phone, the informa-
tion will be given.
This does not apply to the Benning-
ton boys in the other companies
though we hope to get these lists in
a few days.
