Would be Over $1,350,0

Liberty loan subscriptions in Ben
nington amounted to $419,S00 which
is $l69.S00 above the allotment to
this town which was $250,000.
This does not include the sale of
bonds to citizens of Bennington before
the canvass began. These, including
those bought by Mr.. Colgate, Mr..
Jennings and other purchases of
smaller amounts amounted to almost
a million dollars, so that Bennington's
grand total is over $1.35O, 900 which is
probably as much as any town in the
country of this size.
The local committee which has
pushed the sale of the bonds has
worked hard and faithfully and de-
serves a great deal of credit.
The sale closed this morning at IL

was sent to the federal reserve bank

|GHTNEW WAR
BUT It IS FOR
SAME IDEALS
Flag Day Address BY Presi.
dent Wilson
WAS DELIVERED IN RAIN
Conditions of Difference With Ger
many Had Reached a Point Where
Arms Were Necessary.

Washington, June 15-America's
reasons for sending her flag against
the fire of the enemy across the sea
and the purpose she seeks to serve
| were stated anew by President Wilson
yesterday in a Flag day address be-
meath the Washington monument.
Germany's military masters denied
the United States the right to be neu-
trail, the president said, and by ex-
traordinary insults and aggressions
left us no sef-respecting chance but
| to take up arms in defense of our
rights as free people and OF our
honor as a sovereign governor He
recalled how the imperial government
had forbade Americans the use of the
high seas and time and again executed
its threat to send them to their death; ;
how it filled this unsuspecting country
with spies and conspirators and
sought by violence to destroy indus
tries and arrest commerce, and finally
how the Berlin foreign Office tried to
incite Mexico and Japan into hos
tile alliance.
what great nation" he asked, lin
taken up arms?"
Now that America has been forced
to war, declared the president, she
bids her young men go forth to fight
on fields of blood far away for the
same old familiar, heroic purpose for
which it has seen its men die on every
Battlefield upon which Americans have
borne arms since the revolution won
democracy. A sinister power, he said,
which has the German people them
selves in it's grip. now at last has
stretched forth its ugly talons and
drawn blood from us"
THE whole world is at war;" he
added, because the whole world is in
the grip of that power and is trying
out the great battle which shall de-
termine whether it is to be brought
under it's mastery or fling itself free
In giving warning that the Ger
mans actually have carried into ex-
ecution their plan to throw broad
belt of military power across the cen
ter of Europe and into the heart of
of races and the choices of peoples,
Mr.. Wilson spoke of the new in
trigue for peace" now appearing in
many guises at the behest of the Ber-
lin government.
1T cannot go further; it dare not
go back he said. 1T wishes to close
its bargains before it is too late and
it has little left to offer for the pound
of flesh it will demand"
Several hours before the president
spoke Washington had been dTenched
with rain and pelted with hail All
through the speech rain came down
softly, and secret service man held
an umbrella over the presidents head
while hundreds of umbrellas hid the
faces of most of the hearers. In spite
of the unfavorable conditions, the
crowd was large and applauded Wig
orously. Secretary Lansing intro
duced the president and most of the /
members of the cabinet and others
prominent in official life were pres
ent.

Last Evening
MUST FILL TONIGHT
Board of Trade Rooms Will Remain
Open This Evening to Secure

Taking into consideration the fact
that the project had been before the
public but two days and also the fact
that there had not been a full explana-
attendance at the meeting called al
the board of trade rooms Thursday
evening for the purpose of organizing
company in the first regiment of
Vermont volunteers. During the
evening the signatures of 81 men
were secured out of the so that will
be necessary to form a company for

Capt. j. Benjamin Harmon, who has
been appointed regimental supply
officer for the new organization, called
the meeting to order He read let
ter from Col Herbert T. Johnson, who
is to command the regiment and also
read the general orders issued by the
governor and the adiutant general au'
thorizing the organization of the regi-
ment.
Capt Harmon explained that there
were to be only II companies in the
regiment and that already Is different
towns and cities in the state had fill
ed applications for units in the organi-
zation. Col. Johnson is anxious, the
captain said to place a company in
Bennington county, but 1t was impera-
tive that the names OF so men be Sc
cured not latter than tonight. For
this reason the board of trade rooms
will remain open this evening to re
ceive signatures.
Not a few of the men who attended
the meeting did so under the impress
sion that the regiment was being or
ganized for duty as bridge guards, a
kind of service that did not appear
to them at all attractive. but Capt.
Hannon stated that he had been as
sured by Col. Johnson that such was
not the case. The fact that the mem
bers of the regiment are to be armed
with riot guns would indicate that
they are being recruited for an entire
ly different service.
II has been matter of general re-
gret that Bennington has for number
of years had no company In the ma
tional guard. The present opportuni-
ty is one that will give the community
an opportunity to receive recognition
in the military department of the
state and it should not be neglected

ALL SITES SELECTED
Construction of Training Camps Al
ready Begun

Washington June l5-Four sites for
war army divisional cantonments We're
approved yesterday, completing the
list of 16 points at which military
towns are to be built by September
|, when the first draft troops will be
called to the colors.
At each cantonment a full division
will be given its preliminary training
before being sent to Europe for final
instruction behind the fighting lines.
They will be located as follows: Aver,
Mass, Yaphank, Long Island, n. Y.
Wrightstown, N. j. Annapolis June
ton, Md, Petersburg, Va, Atlanta,
Ga, Columbia, S. c., Chillicothe, o.,
Louisville, KY, Battle Creek, Mich,
Little Rock, Ark, Rockford. H., Des
Moines, Ia. Fort Riley, Kan, Fort
Sam Houston, Tex, American Lake,
Wash.
In addition to these, the following
six of 16 camp sites for divisions of
the national guard have been formally
announced: Fort Worth. Tex, Waco,
Tex, Houston, Tex, Fort Sill, Okl.,
Deming, N. NJ, Linda VISTA Cal, 1t is
probable that a seventh national
guard camp will be established in con-
junction with the national army can
tonment at American Lake, Wash,
but the war department has not said
the final word on this point as yet.
A start already has been made on
the enormous construction task ahead
of the war department and the coun-
Gil of national defense. Contracts for
the American Lake cantonment, the
fifth to be awarded, were let yester-
day to a Tacoma firm and all others
will be awarded in few days.
Contracts previously announ
were for Aver, Atlanta, Columbia
and Wrightstown.
Location of the remaining national
guard camps is now under considera-
ton. All probably will go into the
southeastern and southern depart
ments as they will be canvas camps
and unfit for severe weather. Officials
said yesterday that transportation
would govern all selections, as the dis
tance which troops must be hauled
and the available railroads would be
the first question taken up in each
case.
Construction quartermasters al
ready have been assigned for all the
cantonment sites and plans approved
in detail. In each case, however, sup
plementing the standardized building
program, local necessities as to roads,
sewers lighting facilities and connect
ing branch lines with steam and cleo
trio railways will have to be worked
out now that the sites are selected.
Another element of the preparatory
work is study of the proper loca-
tions for sub-depots for supply distri-
button. The main depots are estab
lished at great transportation centers,
but connecting chains of sub-depots
for all supplies. including ordinance
are to be formed and a board of Off
GERS is now at work on this plan.

Washington, June 15.-The Liberty
loan campaign entered the home street
yesterday with every indication tha
the tremendous 30th-day drive through
out the nation would result in going
we'll beyond the $4,000 100000 goal.
From coast to coast the story thai
poured into the treasury all day was
the same, story of whirlwind nm
ish. Telegrams told of tollinS~ bells
and shrieking whistles across the con
tinent, marking the last day of the
campaign; of redoubled efforts by the
many agencies at work for the loans
success, of enthusiasm at its highest
pitch, of long waiting lines of sub
scribers in thousands of banks In
every state of the Union.
Tho iast. "a hours work is going
to show big in the final count, accord
ing to these reports. Before noon to-
day, officials hope, every man in the
country who can subscribe will have
done so. At the closing hour last
night there was no telling where the
total might lead, no basis for forecast
ing the final figures.
1T seemed certain, however, that
at least 2,s00,O00 persons will have
subscribed before the books are closed
at noon today. Measuring the total
by the number Of Liberty bond but
tons which have gone out from head
quarters, the number of subscribers
should exceed 100000. New York,
Philadelphia and Boston reserve dis
tricts alone have received-and, it is
believed, have placed high percen-
tage of them-2 800 900 of the buttons.
More than 100000 will have been
distributed before the three chief but
ton factories of the country, working
night and day to catch up with their
orders several days hence
New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Cleveland, Chicago, st. Louis and Kan
sas City are the big districts from
which will come the great bulk of
subscriptions. There the total num-
her of buttons distributed approxi-
mate 3,500,000 New York has taken
100000 and estimates that it furnish
es 100000 subscribers. Philadelphia
and Boston have taken more than
100000 each. The Cleveland district
has received 100000; Chicago 100000;
st. Louis, Kansas City and Richmond,
100000 each. To San Francisco, 265,-
600 have been sent From several of
the districts hurry calls have been
received for more.
Late campaign figures, made pub
lie last night by Secretary McAdoo as
of the close of business Wednesday
night, showed an apparent shortage
of $157, 100000, the total report, re-
ported being $1,S43 100000. These re-
ports were received after noon at the
treasury. They showed an increase
of nearly $2O0,O00OOO in subscriptions
over the previous days report.

MISS PAULINE FREDERICK
Great Screen Artist in Sapho at Harte
Theatre.

nedtTe-
OF all the many Famous Players
Paramount pictures in which the tai
ented Pauline Frederick has appeared,
perhaps the best suited to her mar
velous ability is that in which she
plays the title role of "Sapho." 1t is
the story of butterfly woman, not
bad at heart, but through early en-
vironment and education, ignorant of
the best principles of life.
The story of how she fights her way
as a model through a long and stormy
career and finally turns Red Cross
nurse, is portrayed by Miss Frederick
in her own mastery manner. The
screen Sapho is a character that will
be as famous in filmdom as the origin
al has been in literature.
Pauline Frederick will appear on
the screen of the Harte theatre as
'Sapho' today only at regular ad-
mission.
