Inhabitants of the village living west
of Putnam House square and those
living at Old Bennington were without
water for the greater portion of the
day because OF a break in the water
main just west Of the junction Of Main
and North streets
Shortly after o'clock the ditch dig
ger, which is max 'ng the excavation
for tha sanitary sewer between North
and Depot streets, broke the eght-inch
main pipe ana turned deuge OF
water into the trench. The operator
of the digger turned in two blasts on
the whistle and the men at work in
the trench began hustling for the
street level.
At the time of the accident the dig
ger was located directly over the shut
off and the big machine had to be
moved before the water could be
checked. In the mean time the water
rose rapidly in the. trench but the
partially constructed sewer afforded
an outlet and no damage was created.
Employees Of the water department
were called for duty as quickly as pos
sible. A section of the broken pipe
was removed and the work of fitting
q new piece was soon under way.
Not much delay was caused by the
accident as the ditch. did not cave.

SOUTH AMERICA
IS PLANNING To

Diplomats From Latin Republics
Forecast Their Withdrawal
HARVEY PROMPTS ACTION
Harding's Stand, Too, Inclines
Little Nations to Desert
Jan Smut's Child

Washington, June Withdrawal Of
all Latin-American republics now
predicted by South American diplo-
mats here today.
IL was learned that several repre-
sentatives Of South American nat
have already discussed informally the
advisability of their governments re-
pudiating their League membership
with the state department.
Ambassador Harvey ''plain Eng
lish" speech and the growing belief
that President Harding has defn tely
turned his back on even a modified
league, are the reasons given by the
diplomats for the agitation in their
countries for withdrawal.
DR.. Varela, Uruguaryan Minister,
confirmed the report today that with
drawal from the League was under
discussion on the Uruguayan Congress
Argentina's position is the same as
it was when Foreign Minister Pueyr-
redon and the Argentine delegation
withdrew from Geneva-"non partici-
patton until our resolutions are con.
sidered," declared Felipe Espil,
Charge d'Affaires here for Argentina,
Nicaragua has already expressed
her intention OF "resigning' from the
League assembly
1t was reported that Costa Rica, Sal
vador and other Central American
countries are considering following
suit.
Mexico has never been adm tied to
membership, although hope OF admit
tance when she mended her ways
was held out. People we'll iriormed
in Mexican affairs say that th S offer
never was cordially appreciated by
the Mexicans.
There is little doubt of what Chilli
will do in the events OF general exc
dus from the League of Nations,
diplomats sa d here today. 1t was
pointed out that the Chilean delega-
ton at Geneva was only persuaded by
much courteous and diplomatic ef'
fort" on the part of League leaders
from following Argentina into yolun-
tary exile from the League
