FINN's CARNIVAL
Opening Night of Weeks Engagement
Largely Attended.

Seemingly all roads last evening
led to the Morgan circus lot. on Main
street, where Firms carnival opened
weeks engagement Merry makers
began arriving on the show grounds
early and by 5 O'Clock the gaily dec
Grated and brightly lighted double :
midway was crowded. The several
tents and mechanical devices are new
and everything about the entire out
fit is clean, not an Objectionable fea-
ture being anywhere in evidence.
The whip and siIodrome shared
first honors The former is a ride
new to Bennington and today is the
talk OF the town In the silodrome
the active performers are two of the
most daring motorcycle riders OF the
year.. Apparently both men begin
their death inviting stunts where
others leave OF. Their rides around
a circular perpendicular wall made
onlookers gasp the one question;
How do either escape serious in
jury?"
The wrestling bouts attracted large
crowds and this show doubtless Will
draw capacity business this evening
as some OF the contestants will be
men we'll known here for their
strength and ability to wrestle.
The three.ahreast jumping horse
merry-go-round was libegally patro-
nized as were the Lottie Slow, Hawai-.
ian village. and the many other at
fractions.
The carnival will be continued
every evening during the week and
there will be special ma a'inees Thurs
day and Saturday. Alex Finn, one OF
the three owners, is expected here to-
morrow from Boston where he has
appeared before the draft board and
arrangd for two weeks extension
that he might close out his business
affairs before donning uniform for
Uncle Sam.

AMERICANS MAKE
FURIOUS CHARGE
ACROSS OURCQ
German Line Broken Up BY
This Attack.
SUPPLIES LEFT BEHIND
It Required Three Dashes Across RiV-
or in Face of Machine Gun Fire to
Dslodge Enemy from Stronghold.

The Germans nave crossed the
Ourcq. SO have the Americans.
On a line well north of the stream
our troops with the French on the
right and left, this morning are push
ing back the Germans toward the
Vesle River. The enemy had evi-
IDENTIFY intended to make a stand on
the north side of the Ourcq but a
brilliant charge was made by the
Americans, who forced the stream,
broke through their positions at half
a dozen points, and forced their hur-
ried withdrawal from the bank The
line along the Ourcq from Fere-en-
Tardenois to the source of the river
is held by American troops.
Fere-en.T Tardenois was taken yes
terday by the French, with Amer
lean aid, and on our right the French
have reached well north of Passy-
Grikny and to the enyirons of Vile
nTardenois, southwest of Rheims
The German withdrawal is going
much faster than the high command
expected The retreat was forced
80 strongly that hundreds of tons of
ammunition were left behind yester-
day by the fleeing Huns. While the
Germans withdrew on a regular line
of fight it cannot be rightly called
a rout, but the pressure of the
Americans yesterday played havoc
with the Crown Princes retreat
There is some doubt if any chap
ter of our fighting reached the thrills
of our charge across the Ourcq yes
terday. Americans of indomitable
spirit met a veritable hell of machine
guns, shells, gas, and bombs in a
strong position, and broke through
with such yilonce that they made a
salient jutting into the enemy line
beyond what the schedule called for
Saturdays withdrawal Of the Ger
mans before our never lessenins
pressure took them at midnight
across the river and into strong hilled
positions oD the northern bank
There they placed many hundreds OF
machine guns ranging on the river
and trained their artillery to lay
down barrages on the stream. Two
fresh Guard divisions were placed In
front OF the Americans, and the
bridges were destroyed behind thC
fleeing foe At midnight the enemy
thought he had new line. He haf
for a few hours At o'clock a parI

forces stepped from the woods Of

BLACK CATS WIN
Cumberland Makes Good Try in Last
Inning.


Sunderland was represented by a
lively team in the baseball game
against the Black Cats, Sunday after
noon on the Desert grounds. After
the first inning the Black Cats kept
the lead until their opponents tied the
score in their half of the eighth. The
locals then scored twice on hit by
Bevis and a long drive by Shaw
which Eaton picked up but held, ex-
pecting to get the umpire to call II
foul, while Bevis and Shaw hot-footed
all the way around the bases. In
Sunderlands half of the ninth, Guy
lette struck out, Bentley got a safe
hit, and Dooley struck out. Then B.
Burns came up and slammed out a
three.bagger scoring Bentley; but
Burns tried to stretch the hit into a
home run and was out at the plate,
leaving the Black Cats the winners by
the close score of 9 to 8.
Bevis pitched an excellent game,
striking out IA men and not Issuing a
pass nor hitting a batsman. He also
batted well as did Pleasant and Nor
an. Davis did good work behind the
bat Eaton made a clean heme run.
The battery work of b. Burns ana
Kelly was snappy.

guns cut loose and the barrage swept
them mercilessly
They held twenty minutes and had
to come back But the Germans were
I'll wrong if they though the Ameri-

dash was made, and after bloody

n the meanwhile our engineers
brought up two bridges, with every
piece of wood cut and fitted before
hand, and threw them across the
Stream At o'c'ock four companies
made the dash To say they stayed

resistance. The Germans put down
barrage behind them along the

machine guns from their trees, from
behind rocks and from bushes.

WASHINGTON, July 29--The State
Department has not received any in
formation to bear out in any way the
report from Copenhagen that Turkey
has broken relations with Germany.
In certain diplomatic quarters the re
port also lacked confirmation. Omci.
ais had nothing to suggest as to the
basis for the report, and there was
no disposition to credit it in the alb
sence of fuller information
When Congress assembled in De
cember, 1917, there Vas agitation in
favor of declaring war on Austria
Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria As
far as Austria-flungary was con.
oerned, President Wilson settled The
question by recommending that the
state of war between that Govern
ment and the Government of the
United States be declared. Consider.
able feeling was displayed at the time
IN favor OF including TgEke.x ALL Ilnl.
garia in the declaration. but President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing urged
that the declaration be confined TO
Austria-Hungary, and Congress follow
ed their advice
1t was never made clear in any of.
fetal way why the Administration
was opposed to having Turkey and
Bulgaria made public enemies of the
United States. but the understanding
was that the President believed that
good chance existed that these two
countries would withdraw from their
partnership with German and Austria
and that by keeping the United States
on nominally friendly terms with
them there was chance of using
American influence to induce them to
quit the Teutonic alliance.
