PRESIDENT MAY
LIFT WARTIME
BAN ON LIQUOR
Army Will Be Demobilized By
Vero, First
IF TREATY 0elier 0seDtIsED
Secretary Baker Testlfies Before
House Committee That Emergency
Army VIII Be Discharged

Washington July 29.-Presiden
Wilson will have authority to repea
the Wartime Prohibition act by Sept
80. providing the Senate has ratified
the Peace Treaty by that time.
This was disclosed today by the def
mite statement of Secretary of Wal
Baker before the House Military AT
fairs Committee that the army will be
completely demobilized by Sept. 80
The President has stated that he can
not lift the wartime ban until demobil
ization has been completed, and the
Wartime Prohibition bill provides that
the treaty shall be ratified before
prohibition shall end.
While Secretary Baker was testify
ing the War Department made public
a cablegram from General Pershing
that those portions of the 1st Regular
Army Division which are to be brought
home will begin to move to the port
of embarkation on Aug 15. The 4th
and 9Th Divisions are now on their
way home. The movement of the
parts of the End Division has begun,
and by September it is planned to
have all the American forces home
except those which are to be retained
as part of the permanent force in the
Army of Occupation in Germany.
Secretary Bakers statement to the
House Committee was in reply to a
question by Representative La Guaria,
(New York; who asked when, in view
of the rapid rehabilitation, the army
could be considered down to the peace
time strength.
Il can definitely state" the Secre'
tary replied, that the army will be
completely demobilized by September
80. Our emergency army will all be
discharged by that date"
Secretary Baker also informed the
committee that the American Army
of Occupation would be much smaller
than originally planned He asked
that for military reasons the exact
number of Americans to be retained in
Europe be kept secret, but it is said
that the Allies have agreed that our
share be less than one regular army
division.
These men will be kept there until
is certain Germany will fulfil all the
conditions of the treaty, Mr.. Baker
told the committee.

STRIKES FOR BETTER WINE
Ships Crew Holds Liner With 400
Passengers "a Hours.

The French Line steamship Chi.
cago, which arrived in this port yes
terday with 400 passengers aboard
was held up for twenty-four hours
when thirty miles out from Bordeaux
because the crew, dissatisfied with
the quality of the wine served them,
refused to continue their work.
The ration of the crew includes one
quart of Bordeaux wine each day.
When the wine was doled out the
first time the wine experts between
decks discovered that it was not up
to the standard they had been used
to, and work was stopped.
There was nothing for the skipper
to do but to anchor the vessel and no
tify his agents in Bordeau that the
men were dissatisfied with the quality
of the wine that had been provided
for them. Word was sent ashore and
late that night lighter came along
side the liner with barrels of VIZ.
aboard.
The crew forthwith appointed a
committee of six, representing the
stewards department and the engine
room force, to determine whether
the new wine was of quality to sat
isfy their taste. Samples were drawn
from each of the fourteen barrels and
tested with evident enjoyment They
pronounced the wine satisfactory and
the Chicago resumed her trip on the
morning OF July 1S, after delay Of
twenty-four hours.

PUTTING SOD ON JOHN

Going along good in the same old

"Yes, had to come over to settle ac-

Looks like the last quarter,
doesn't it?"
"Yes, it does, unless the president
comes to the rescue. Here comes
Dimond now"
The Manchester member or the

out his hand to his associate.
Goodbye, VIII. l guess / will look

TWO LAY CLAIM TO NAME
OF PUTNAM HOUSE GARAGE
Tax Commissioner j. M. Avery Com
ing to Bennington to Investigate
Interesting Controversy

The new tax commissioner, John
M. Avery is to be in Bennington either
this afternoon or this evening to in
vestigate controversy that has aris-
en- between two local garage proprie-
tors, Clarence l.. Gardner and w. b.
Taylor. AT the present time both
are operating under the name of the
Putnam House garage.
The name Putnam House garage
was first adopted by Sheriff Perry b.
Gardner. The sheriff today stated
that he had never registered the name
with the tax commissioner for the
reason that his business transactions
were conducted in his own name.
When, however, the sheriff disposed
of the business year ago in June to
Clarence L. Gardner the new proprie-
tor preferred to operate under the
title and secured a registration with
the tax commissioner for the Putnam
House garage.
Recently a new sign bearing the
name Putnam House garage appeared
over the entrance to Mr.. Taylor's gar
age which is located in what was
formerly the Putnam House livery and
the doubling of names was called to
the attention of the tax commissioner
by Mr.. Gardner's attorney.
Mr.. Taylor insists that permission
for Mr.. Gardner to use the name ter.
minated with the lease of the Putnam
House held by the former proprietor
Paul c. Cornell. Mr.. Taylor's claim
to the use of the name, he says, is
based upon permission granted by the
present proprietor of the hotel. He
insists that his place of business is
located in property that has been at
tached to the hotel for years and that
he is conducting the automobile bust
ness Of the hotel.
Mr.. Gardner does not feel like dis
cussing the situation and says that he
will await action by the tax commits
sioner. The problem is an unusua
one and the automobile men anC
others in the village are awaiting the
decision of the official with consider
able interest. 1t is more probabl,
that the controversy will be settled il
an amicable manner.

READING BY MRS. kILMER
Widow Of Well-known Writer Who
Was Killed In France.

Everybody in Bennington and wi
cinity who know of Joyce Kilmer and
have read and loved his poems will
rejoice to hear that his widow. Mrs
Aline Kilmer, will give reading
from her own and her husbands
poems in the Congregational chapel
on Tuesday evening, August 5.
Kilmer, it VIII be recalled, was
killed during the Marine advance
July 30th. 1918. He was graduate
of Columbia and Rutgers, member
of the staff of the New York Times
himself a poet of achievement and
promise, and was sergeant in the
69th Regiment when he fell In action
He was thirty-one years old and left
wife and four little children, and
it is to secure the means to care for
her fatherless little ones that Mrs.
Kilmer gives these readings.
Alexander Woolcott, also a former
member of the Times staff, wrote OF
him as follows: "He was at the very
front and he was there not because
he had to be but because he wanted
to be. He had been working as a
sergeant in the regimental intelli.
gence section under the regimental
intelligence officer who thought the
world of him. 1t was work that gave
his excellent mind plenty to do and
he loved it. He had relshed so
much the chance for service it gave
him during the first days of the of.
fensive in Champagne that, later
when his regiment was crouching for
the attack across the Ourcq and he
found his own battalion would not
be in the lead, he asked and received
permission to offer his services to
the battalion that would be in the
lead. So 1t happened that he was
close to the majors elbow when the
battalion adjutant was killed and, in
the emergency OF the battle. without
commission or appointment, he was
serving as a sort OF aide to the bat
talon commander, whena machine
gun bullet dropped him. wish |

how deep and genuine was the regi-
ment's sense of loss in his death AS

him and they all knew his verse. !

only to fish about in their tattered
blouses to bring out the copy of a
poem Kilmer wrote in memory OF
some of their number who were
killed by a shell in March"
The Current Opinion for June
quotes two of Mrs. Kilmer's poems
from the volume Candles That
Burn" and says of the collections
"Theer Is much poignant emotion in
them, all the more poignant because
so restrained and we'll mastered.
The death of Rose. Mrs. Kilmer's
Oldest child, the departure of her
husband, Joyce, for the war zone, the
news of his courageous death in bat
tie, are events that have thrown deep
shadows over these pages. But they
are shadows tipped with light and
palpitant with glowing memories and
confident faith. In spite of the shad-
ows we get very winsome picture
of domestic love and happiness The
themes are simple and so are the
poems; but they are full of artistry
and each one carries its own charm. .
1t is certain that the people of Ben
nington may anticipate real treat
in this evening of poetry The pro
ceeds are to be divided between Mrs.
kilmer and our local Y. NJ. C. A.
