on South Street
RUNAWAY NOT SERIOUS
In Avoiding Collision Fred Simmons
Auto Went Into Ditch and Lost
A Wheel.

A runaway that might have resulted
in very serious accident occurred
on the Pownal road this morning.
The driver of the F. L. Sweet milk
wagon left the cart at the Seymour
Patterson farm to deliver milk and
before he returned the two horses
started at moderate rate of speed
for the village.
When the team reached the Waters
place, the children came out for their
milk and the horses became fright
ened and began running Fred Sim
mons of North Bennington met the
team at the curve in the road just
north of the cemetery and turned his
automobile into the ditch, avoiding
the team, but hitting a big stone that
smashed one wheel of his car
The team continued running until
1t reached the top of South street hill
when one horse fell and was dragged
about so feet by the other horse
which fell in front of the home of r.
E. Howe. Several men soon arrived.

very little damage had been done.
only the cross bar being broken and
one horse scratched somewhat.
Twenty quarts of milk ran quietly
down South street regardless Of food
conservation, but considering the
rate of speed at which the horses
were travelling the outcome was most
fortunate.

Alarm and Resulted in Long and
Fruitless Search.

Local officials are attempting to 10.
cate Freeman Harrington who is sup
posed to be in Albany and who is
likely to be charged with the offence
OF kidnapping his seven-year-old
daughter Doris. The child who has
lived with her mother on the Wood
ford road, disappeared between and
6 o'clock Monday afternoon and for a
number of hours was believed to have
been lost Around midnight, how
ever, Newman Harrington. the child's

contributed nothing to her support.
She is employed at the lockwood un-
derwear mill. There are two other
children, a baby of two years and a
boy of nine. While at work Mrs. Har.
rington has been in the habit of en-
gaging some one of the neigh5ors to
care for the youngest child.
When Mrs. Harrington went TO
work Monday noon she instructed lit.
tie Doris to meet the mother between
the mill and their home as Mrs. Har-
rington had planned TO come. to the
village for the purpose of buying the
child pair of shoes The mother
failed to find the little girl and as
time elapsed and the child did not put
in an appearance thorough search OF
the neighborhood was instituted
Word was sent to the Bennington Boy
Scouts who were holding a meeting
and they joined in the search. The
boys secured the woods until late in
the evening, some OF them not reach.

DRIVE FOR BIG
Y.M.C.A. FUND
Team Seeking to Enlist $40
Subscribers
COUNTY QUOTAS $3.50
Bennington Boy Workers Will Be
Represented in Relay Race to
Boston.

\ team OF ten employed and high
school boys, composed OF Benjamin
Waldron, Howard Estes, Dewey Walk.
er, Harold Peart, Raymond Percy
James Hamilton, Spencer Lee, Alber,
Hall, Carl Chase and Raymond
Sharkey are making drive for sub
soriptions toward the 100000 boys
who are to give s1,000,0000 of the
s35 100000 fund for Y NJ c. A. work
in the war camps.
Yesterday noon they had % boys
signed up, a total of $3.50. They are
aiming TO get 125 boys, which would
mean an average of 25 each day for
five days.
The boys team meets daily for
luncheon between twelve and one. at
that time turning in reports, discuss.
ing arguments. and making lists OF
prospects.
Out of these ten workers one will
be chosen at the end of the week to
compete in a Vermont team of ten
boys, against teams of ten from each
New England state, in relay race TO
Boston carrying the final results OF
the canvass. The boys will be taken
by auto to within five miles of Bos-
ton. They will be entertained by the
Y. NJ. c. A. in Boston over Sunday.
The strongest argument the boys
have evolved is that every boy shoul
give $40 with five months in which
to earn it, because the war cannot
be won without 1t, according to Sec
retary of War Baker Lord North
eliffe, and others; and because it is
not asking anywhere near what the
American boys now in their graves
over there have given. agasA

SINGLE FRONT, SINGLE ARMY
French Premier Says That is the
Program for Victory

Program for Victory
Paris Nov. 13-"A single front, a
single army, single nation-that in
the program requisite for future vic
tory" said Premier Painleve at a
luncheon here yesterday in honor OF
David Llyod George. the British prime
minister who has Just returned from
the Italian war zone, and Signor Bar
enini, Italian minister of education.
IF after 40 months of war after all
the lessons the war has taught us the
allies were not capable of that sacred
international union. then, in spite of
their sacrifices, they would not be
worthy of victory"
In dicussing the manner of accom-
plishment of this fusion to which the
allies have long aspired NJ Painleve
said, The enemies alliance realized
unity of effort by brutal discipline
one of the peoples among them having
mastered the others and rendered
them serviceable. But we are free peo
pies. We do not admit of subsection
to other peoples in time of war. That
independence is at the same time o
source of strength and weakness; OF
strength because there is capacity
for resistance which Is unknown to
subject peoples, and of weakness be
cause it renders more difficult co-or
dination of military operations. Tc
reconcile this independence with the
end for unity of direction which is
required to achieve an eficacious wal
policy, will be the work of the inter
allied war committee or more of the
superior war council just created by
the laies.
