New York. July t2l.-Before the

for the duration OF the war. AS the

Of closing the baseball parks.
James C. Dunn, president OF the

From the Provost Marshals Office

ICUNDY SAID FLAG e
SHOULD NOT RETIRE
American Generals Message to
French Superior Gave No offense,
But New Spirit.

Washington, July 20--The Amerl.
cans are taking the initiative In the
drive the allies now have under way.
General Pershing's reports TO the
secretary of war during the last thir.
ty.six hours dwell on this important
feature of the drive. The American
spirit that resulted in the counter at
tacks which have been under way dur
ing the last two days was reflected in
the dispatch that General Gundy. In
command of the second division. sent
to the French general, who was su.
perlor to him, In which he said that
It was uncomfortable to retire 1t can
be- said authuritatively that General
Bundy was the author of the dispatch
which will unquestionably find q
place in the school histories of the
future. The sentiment of the Ameri
can general instead OF offending the
French, gave them new inspiration.
according to reports now coming to
headquarters here. and as result
the American corps and division com
manders were practically giving free
rein to initiate counter attacks.

CIRCUS is COMING
Two Performances Preceded by Spec
tacular Parade.

Here is good news for all the com.
munity.
The John Robinson circus, the old.
est and best of them all is coming to
Bennington The circus will give two
performances here. and these will be
preceded by one of the most spectacu-
lar parades ever seen in this city's
streets. The circus will arrive early
in the morning and before the first
early riser has taken his breakfast
the nomadic city will be housed In its
acres Of tents.
The John Robinson Circus Is really
a city in itself. II carries mechanics.
baibers, artists, shoemakers, harness
makers, blacksmiths, wheelwrights,
and every other vocation common to
city life is represented in fits roster.
The list of performers with the
circus reads like a page from the
Blue Book of Showdom, and its re.
tinue represents the pick OF the are
mic, aerial and acrobatic worlds. The
Robinson Circus for ninety-three sea
sons has prided itself on its menag-
erie, and this year II has the largest
geological display extant. The origi-
nal herd of John Robinson's elephants
are with the circus. and since they
came from Burmah long before the
civil war the herds have been aug.
mented by importations and pur
chase.
The horses with the show are the
finest procurable and represent the
pick of the western markets. The cir
cus-in a nut shell--is all that cir.
Gus should be-with many features
new TO the realm of canvas added this
season On show day tickets will be
on sale at Gokay's Drug store at the
same price as charged at the show
grounds.

OPERATING ON
ATLANTIC COAST
Attacked without Warning Tug
Perth Amb0y..
ATTACK NEAR CAPE COD
Battle Was Witnessed by Large
Crowds Of Natives and Summer
Visitors.

Orleans, Mass. July 2t-A Ger
man submarine attacked the tug
Perth Amboy of the Lehigh Valley
railroad and her four barges three
miles off this town on the southeast
ern elbow of Cape Cod at 1890 a. m.
today. The one-sided battle lasted
one hour and half. The tug was
burned to the waters edge by she'll
fire, while the barges Lansford and

sunk by gunfire.
The barges were bound from Glou-
cester for New York an. only one
was loaded, her cargo consisting of
stone. OF the forty-one persons, in
cluding three women and five children
on board, three Austrian members of
the tug crew were wounded.
The attack was witnesessed by large
crowds OF natives and summer visi-
tors who had fiocked to the Cape for
the weekend All accounts agreed
that the submarines shooting was
very bad. Her torpedo work was no
better. according to Captain ,AinsIie
of the Lansford she launchedt three
torDedoes at the tug and all went
wild.
The attack occurred only few
miles from the naval aviation station
at Chatham. Three seaplanes attack
ed the raider with bombs. The fire
was returned, keeping the planes
high. Finally. however. the U-boat

heading south.
Tonight the tug was still afoat and
II was thought she could be saved.
The net result of the raid was the
sinking of barges valued in the aggre-
gate at $4,000 and serious damaging
OF tug valued at 100000, at the ex.
penditure of three torpedoes. which It
is estimated cost the German Govern
ment total of $4,000 and a quantity
OF ammunition.

suited in an overwhelming victory for
Berlin. The score was 20 to 8. The
Black Cats we're not outplayed
so much as the score would

nearly as good, and their batting
as hard, but their errors were more
costly and most of their hard drives
went straight at some fielder. Hull

ced in run by giving Cummings his
base on balls with three men on bases.
In the sixth he struck out Miner when
the bases were full with two out.
Ackinor put up fine game in left
field, making all three of the put-outs
in the third inning. G. Hull made a
unique record in scoring six runs in
five times at the bat Satterly and
Sweetgroat batted terriiically.
For the Black Cats Morrissey, Pei

game. An unfortunate incident oc-

MAJOR ROOSEVELT
Is SLIGHTLY WOUNDED
News Comes When Home OF Col
Roosevelt Is In Grief over ouen.
tins Death.

New York, July 2l,-War wrote its
horrors deep intoGthe heart OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt yesterday. Within a
few hours the one time President had
wrested from him the last vestige of
hope that fate might have spared his
youngest son, Quentin from death be-
hind the German lines, and then was
summoned from the side of grief
stricken wife to receive a cable mes
sage which announced that his eldest
son, Major Theodore Roosevelt, jr.,
had been slightly wounded in action
and had been taken from the firing
line to hospital in Paris.
Now only one of the Colonel's four
sons remained untouched by the
scourge of warfare. He is Capt. Ker-
nit Roosevelt, recently transferred
from the British to the United States
Army and who is on his way from
Mesopotamia to join the American Ex-
peditionary Forces in France.
Though Capt. Kermit of Roosevelt has
yet to feel the sting OF Hun bullet,
be wears on his breast the British
Military Cross. awarded to him for
galantry in action. Capt. Archie
Roosevelt, the Colonel's other son, iv
recovering slowly from wounds which
he received in action last March, but
which, II has been reported are likely
to render him permanently crippled.
Word that Major Theodore Roose-
welt had been wounded was received
early in the evening from young
Theodore's wife, who Is In Paris en-
gagged In Red Cross work. This mes.
sage said
Ted wounded. Not seriously. Here
with me. Not any danger No cause
for anxiety"
The wounding of Major Theodore
Roosevelt is the second time he has
been put out OF the big fight on the
western front. Three weeks ago he
earned q citation for gallantery after
being gassed while standing heroically
with his men during severe BON
bardment of their positions. He went
abroad with the first contingents OF
American troops under Gen. Pershing
and has been in the thick of the fight
ing ever since the Americans moved
up to the fighting lines from theil
training camps.

NO PEACE BEFORE AUTUMN
Must Smash Prussian Mllltarism or
We Lose. the War.


We Lose the War.
The following Is contributed bysReg-
inal Wright iVfittnan TO the National
Security Leagues campaign OF Pa
triotism Through Educauon:
1T has been my fortune to pass the
last nine months in France, most OF
the time with one or other of the al
lied armies. II is with amazement
that, returned, hear talk of a peace
before next autumn.
THE Germans and the French
know it-regard as one great battle
the series OF pushes that began on
March 21st. They have divided their
plans into four forward efforts; of
these the first is over, the second in
progress; they intend the second to
be stronger than the first, the third
stronger than the second, the fourth
as strong as the remaining reserves
can make it, and the whole battle to
into November. AS each of these eff.
forts is to be an attacking Effort, and
as, in modern warefare, advantage
lies with the attacking force, the cur
rent advantage will be with our en-
emy until at least late autumn, and
any peace proposed or agreed to dur
ing that time will be peace with
Germany in the ascendant. Therefore
the cry OF peace before autumn is q
cry for German peace.
Austria may be blown up by an in
ternal explosion and Germany may be
unable to gather up the fragments.
A military miracle may render pos
sible an allied counter offensive and
shatter all the Peutonic schemes.
Ultimately OF course, the greater man
power OF the Allies, due to the
equipped American army, will turn
the balance and win us victory. But,
so far as one may Judge from previ-
GUS experience, the enemy, while un-
able to gain his final detectives, will
continue TO have something the bet
ter of this war until the winter Of
19lS-l9lY. Not to recognize that is TO
prepare for German peace; to recog-
nize II, and to determine to keep on
fighting, is to prepare for the conquest
of Prussianism and the conclusive
peace of the world
Among the American enlisted men
In the Lorraine trenches and along
the firing line in the north, you hear
no talk Of Peace before autumn; /;
the only talk that you
hear is talk of vic
tory. Here, after many conversations
with him, is what I believe to be the
point OF view of the American en-.
listed man in France:
I'VE went into this war to smash
forever Prussian militarism. UAless
we smash that we shall have losG the
war. Talk of making terms with a
Germany not on her knees is treason.
no matter from what source in Ameri-
ca it emanates. We are going to ac-
complish the purpose that we set out
10 accomplish; II we weren't going to
accomplish that, 1t would be a crime
ever TO have gone into this war. Our
spirit ie the spirit of sarifice: the
spirit TO compromise with Prussian-
ism Is a spirit that would waste the
sacrifices that we have made, are
making and shall yet make--and, who
ever he is the man that turns sacrifice
into waste commits a sin against the
Holy Spirit of God.
Just now it is the first duty of ey.
cry good American citizen to keep an
eye on the waster."
