CREDIT LATER

The Banner has already stated that
Bennington county did not get full
credit for its enlistments up to June
30 and of course no credit was given
for those who enlisted since that
time but the county may get credit
later. The following from the st.
Adams Messenger indicates a similar
condition in Franklin county:
while it is quite natural that
there is regret that Franklin county
is not to get any credit now for the
l27 men who have enlisted from its
territory since June 80 the date
when credits for volunteers ceased
with the result that VIC do not enjoy
the distinction of being draft exempt
it is too early for any serious com
plant of injustice. The war depart
ment was forced to select some ar
bitrary date on which credits should
cease else ii would have been i'm
possible to figure cut with any &c
cwacy the allotment for each exemp
ton district
There is, however, no reason why
Franklin county should forever lose
credit for the men who have enlisted
since June 30. Unless the war takes
a sudden and unexpected turn a sec
ond draft is certain and when the al
lotment for that is figured out tht
county can be given credit for en-
listments after June 80 In this way
things will equalize themselves anC
our next quota, which unquestionabl!
will be greater than the present levy
will be reduced by just so much. /
the war department fails to give suci
credit then will be the occasion an,
the cause for a just protest

The draft has been completed and
the board of exemption now has a big
job on hand. II is apparent that of
the names drawn very large proper
ton are exempt for manifest reasons
dependent families, physical dis
ability, previous enlistment or re-
lusal, etc. Some think that not over
one In three or four will actually be
found fitted to enter the new army
AS Bennington c0unty's quota is l23
IT is likely to require from 800 to 800
of those drawn 20 fill the list. Those
above the first 500 can feel reasonab
ly sure of not being needed at this
time

Italian defeat as follows.

In Financial Straits.
Washington, Nov. Swiss mon
etary experts, in dispatches received
here, call attention to the desperate
financial situation in Austria. Rec
emily DR.. Weckerly president of the
Hungarian cabinet, declared at pub
lie sitting of parliament that the
circulation of notes of the imperial
bank had reached 5,5OO,OOO,00
crowns in September and is now pro-
badly 7,O0O,O0O,OOO The metal re-
served for this enormous circulation
is only 35O,OOO.OO0 and 400, 900, 900.
The Swiss experts declared that
Austria consequently is in a precar-
ious finacial position. The Austrian
crown now is quoted at only thirty
eight in foreign countries and has
deprecated still more in the interior
Of the empire. In this situation, the
Swiss experts say, Austria would not
be long in suing for a separate peace
were she not dominated by Germany.
Word has been received here that
the Austrian government has forbid
den the introduction of all Swiss
newspapers into Austria, even includ-
ng those published in German lang
iage, and is preventing the sending
o foreign countries of austrian
papers, excepe those published in
Vienna. Through the Swiss papers
he Austro-Hungaria public has been
getting much news that its own
EDITORS could not print.

MAKING GOOD AT GOLF
Ball Players Succumb to Lure of
Scottish Sport.
Several Excellent Golfers Recruited
From Ranks of Diamond Stars
John Ward and Arthur Shafer
Are Most Prominent.

That good baseball player may
with increasing frequency as more and
more ball players succumb to the lure
of the royal and ancient game in their
leisure hours. Several excellent golf
erS have been recruited from the ranks
of the stars of the diamond and there
eSS of development, for it takes time
to develop a golfer.
Two names stand out when the golf
ing ball players are named. One is
the veteran, John Montgomery Ward,
manager of the Giants more than q
score of years ago, and the other is
Arthur Shafer, who played with the
Giants only few seasons back. Both
Ward and Shafer are amateur golfers,
having been formally reinstated by the
United States Golf association after
producing legal proof that they had
forSaken professional sport, and swear
ing that they did not intend to return
to it at any time in the future.
! Both are good golfers, too, and a
meeting between them would be an in
teresting struggle. Ward plays his golf
right in the metropolitan district and
younger stars in every tournament
which he enters. Shafer Is member
of California club and is rated at five
on the handicap list of the Southern
California Golf association. He has
been Il prominent figure in recent tour
neys on the Pacific coast, although he
has been playing golf only couple of
years.
Everybody knows that Christy Math.
ewson plays golf and does pretty well
at the game, although he is far from
being in the class with Ward and Shat
err. Chief Bender is about on a PAL
with Matty, although he is said to be
extremely erratic, playing well one da!
and wretchedly the next.
Among the manQgers-not countin!
Matty, who is so young manager tina
he needn't be grouped with them yet
Connie Mack and Hugh Jennings ar,
the most ardent golfers, and John Nc
Graw mas tried TO play the game tW'
or three times with what success n,
one knows who was not with him o.
those occasions.

and play it as they bat-left hand
are Tyrus Cobb and Eddie Collins.

club of the International league. This
team was managed by Joe Birming-

In one game Blackburnc fumbled II
grounder with man on third base and
failed 10 throw the ball home.
"You remind me of johnny Evers,"
said Birmingham, recalling the famous
incident of the world series between
the Braves and Athletics when Eyers'
failure to throw home after making n
tumble enabled Eddie Murphy To score
from second base.
ON the next play Blackburne tried
