IS ENLARGED
BY MR.. PUTNAM
Plot of IS Acres Conveyed to
Village
PROPERTY is PROTECTED
Gift PrecIudes Encroachment on the
West Regardless of Changes
in Future Years

Two deeds were filed at the town
clerks Office today that will be OF un-
usual interest to the people of Ben
nington. The first conveyed to
Henry w. Putnam of New York the
plot of land lying between the west
line of the property owned by the
Henry w Putnam Memorial Hospital
association and Monument avenue in
Old Bennington. The second deed
conveyed the property from Mr.. Put.
nam to the village of Bennington.

to the village specifies that the land
is to be held in trust for the use and
the benefit and advantage OF the
Henry w Putnam Memorial hospital
to be used and enjoyed for any and
all purposes consistent with or per.
tanning to the institution.
The plot which comprises 1918
acres and which has frontage of 553
feet on Monument avenue has a
natural beauty in itself which could
not be duplicated by the most artis-
tic landscape gardener. Through this
latest generosity of Mr.. Putnam the
site of the institution erected to the
memory OF his father is protected
against encroachment for all time.
No matter what developments may
take place in the future. possession

The gift is one more demonstration
of Mr.. Putnams intense and abiding
interest in the welfare of the com
munity with which his father was so
long and prominently identified. 1t
is not only proof Of his interest in
the prosperity of the institution with
which he has become so closely iden-
tilted but il shows a far-reaching
comprehension of what that institu-
tions needs may be in the future. 1t
also proves that that interest will
continue through years to come.
The property was conveyed to Mr..
Putnam by Edwin S. and Mary A.
Chandler by whom it has been owned
since 1870. II has been in the
Chandler family since May II, 1893
when it was purchased by Samuel
Chandler.

1t is interesting to note that SIS years
ago when the census was taken the
permanent population of Old Ben

now, as the census taken April l.

WARMING SENT To
MEXICO OF LIKELY
CHANGE IN POLICY
Note to Carranza Is Nearly An
Ultimatum
OUTRAGES CAUSE ACTION
No Indication Yet AS to How Far the
United States Is
Prepared to Go

Washington, Aug. 14--The first de-
finite move toward the long expected
change in policy in dealing with Mex
leo was disclosed today.
Carranza has been warned that If
the murders and outrages of Ameri-
cans continue, the United States may
be forced to alopt radical change
in its policy with regard to Mexico
With the announcement at the state
department, however, came no author
itative indication of how far the Amer
ican government is preparing to go
to enforce what lacks on'y the diplo
matte technicalities of an ultimatum
The government announced its act
ion by publishing an exchange of
notes with Mexico City and prefaced
its official statement with the explain
alton that the diplomatic representa-
tions referred to had been taken" in
view of the long series of murders and
outrages of American citizens in Mex
leo, eliminating In the murder of
Peter Catron in San Luis Potcs last
month, and the perpetuation of other
acts in disregard OF American lives
and property"
To the communication OF the United
States the Mexican government re-
turned a reply, dated July 2S. signed
by Salvador Diegc-Fernandez, in
charge of the department of foreign
relations
The Mexican governments reply,
which is a long one, sets forth that
the Carranza government is doing the
best it can to cope with conditions in
remote and sparsey settled regions
still affected ythe results of civil
war, and suggests that Americans in
those remote places come into populat-
ed centers where they can be protect
ed. Referring to robberies CT pay
masters of oil companies, the Mexican
government declsred the oil companies
had declined guards for them, either
on the grounds that the presence OF
guards invited attacks by bandits, or
that the guards misbehaved. Both as
sertions, the Mexican governments
note declared are unfounded. The
Mexican government. the note further
ed persons of moneys lost.
The communication to Mexico is
couched in probably the strongest Ian
guage used in any from this govern
ment since the exchanges preceding
the Veras Cruz occupation All official
Washington began at once looking be-
hind the official texts seeking some
reason for an impending change OF
po icy, for which there has been de-
mand in and out of Congress Pressure
from foreign governments and press
ure in Congress, which is preparing
an investigation of the whole Mexican
situation were among those most com
monty discussed.
0utwardly there wa sno reason ap-
parent except the long and growing
outrages on Americans.

THOSE CANADIAN JOBS
Good to Dream Over, but in Canada
Comes Rude Awakening

Burlington, Aug. 14.-"Those Can.
adian jobs in the harvest fields with
pay from sl2 to SIS per day and
board thrown in, are mighty good to
dream over in good old Vermont. but
what a rude awakening railroad
journey of about 100 miles to Mon
treal brings forth" said a young man
who, with four other Burlingtonians
returned TO this city last night af.er
visiting Canada in search Of the
fairy-airy jobs over which much prop
aganda has been spread by Canadian
railroad officials. The Burlington party
left here Sunday morning, staying at
the Windsor Hotel over night.
Monday they were up at eight
O'Clock and walked all over the city
visited every railroad station, passen-
ger agent and employment bureau
asking for information on the harvest
jobs They found that the railroad
fare from Montreal to Winnipeg was
$l2 for the harvest excursion trains.
one of which left Tuesday and another
viii leave the 18th of this month. To
get the excursion rate a person has to
sign an agreement to work 80 DAYS
at the prevailing price in whatever
community he is hired. from $4O0 per
day down. The fare back is SIS and
to get this rate a person has to have
a signed statement from the farmer
for whom he last worked 80 days.
The Burlingtonian was of the opin-
ion that the campaign was not so
much for harvest hands as for woods
men, for thousands OF men are need
ed for positions of this sort. The pay
is $50 per month and board and those
who need this class of help are getting
quite few men from the States who
are broke and cannot get back.
