World War Veteran Entertained at
Camp Bennington Writes The
Banner Letter Of Thanks.

Editor OF The Banner i hope you
VIII give me enough space in your
valuable paper to express my
thoughts OF two OF the greatest
American people whom you have the
honor OF having in Bennington, While
there has been considerable talk and
unrest among the wounded veterans
of our great country at their not re-
ceiving a square deal from the people,
after doing their bit for their country
in the World War, wish to call at
,tention TO the fact that there is one
man and one woman, Mr. Frank VIII
son and Mrs Frank Wilson, who
have given all that possibly could be
given. and have done more than any
aone / know of for the wounded yeter'
ans while enjoying their hospitality
at their camp. MIR. and Mrs. Wilson
deserve world Of credit for their
past kindnesses To veterans, Doth
during the great World War and now.
They have made it possible for
wounded boys like myself to get away
from the hot stuffy hospitals OF the
city, and have been the means ol
these same boys getting a new lease
on life by throwing wide open the
door of Camp Bennington and welcom'
ing them by doing everything that was
wanted to make the boys happy. All
was gladly given, regardless OF eX'
pense. by Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson he
lieve in giving credt NAere credit Is
due. and can truthfully say that in
Justice to MIR. and Mrs. Wilson, | for
1ne. think that they both should re-
ceive honorable mention from your
historic village OF Bennington. for
the past great kndnesses they have
shown to the boys who did their bit.
Thanking you in advance for your
kind favor, remain,
Yours respectfully

GENERAL STARK WROTE
BATTLE OF BENNINGTON
Historian Walter n. Crockett Believes
Commander Knew Proper Name
for Engage ment.

Editor OF the Banner:-I notice
in some of the State papers recently
that there has been a renewal Of the
discussion concerning the prop
name To be given to what we know as
the Battle Of Bennington. About once
in 50 often somebody discovers the
fact that this battle was fought on
New York and not on Vermont soil.
So far as | know it was never dlsput
ed that the engagement was fought
outside the state of Vermont. but it
is regularly forgotten and regularly
rediscovered. II remember cor.
rectly Gov. Hiland Hall had some de-
bate with certain New York historians
concerning this fact
II is interesting to note, in this con
nection, and ! make use OF il in my
History Of Vermont that in com
munication addressed to the Massa-
chusetts legislature by Gen. Stark and
dated Jan s, 177S. the American com
mander referred to this engagement
as THE Battle OF Bennington" This
was less than five months after the
battle was fought and If any man
knew what name should be given to
the conflict il was John Stark So
far as know it has never been called
anything but the Battle of Benning-
ton.
In August. l777, Cen Burgoyne had
reached the Hudson river and hoped
to form a union with the British
forces in New York city. He was
finding it increasingly difficult to sc,
cure provisions for his army. His sup
plies were brought across the ocean
to Canada and sent southwark, by way
of Lake Champlain, and thence over
land TO the Hudson valley. A large
depot of supplies had been established
by the Americans on or near the
present site of the Bennington monu-
ment. The British commander had
assumed that it would be compare.
lively easy matter for the German
regulars to defeat the Vermont mill.
tia. capture the stores and send raid
ing party as far east as the Connecti
cut river. The immediate object Of
the attack however, was Bennington.
It was the largest settlement any
where in that vicinity and the fact
that it was successfully defended the
enemy being unable to meter what is
now the State OF Vermont, did not
prevent the people who fought the
battle from giving the name Benning-
ton to the engagement Apparently
it was accepted without question, at
that time and names sanctioned by
long established usage are not likely
to be changed.
Very truly yours.

BALANCING LARRY"
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Collie Was Caught under Ford Car
but Apparently Sustained
No Injury.

Larry the collie with the one
watch eye that has been given some
wonderful exhibitions of balancing ON
the automobile running board OF its
owner, George NJ Hawks, rame rlose
to filling its last engagement Monday
afternoon. The dog was caught by a
car at the corner OF North and Main
streets and it is difficult to under
stand how 1t is running about on four
legs today
Larry has been accustomed to
leap from TIE rhnning board when.
ever the car reaches South street ard
to use the means OF locomotion pro.
yided by nature until the car hits the
stiff grade at the foot of Sohth street
hih. At that point the dog has usually
taken to the running board again for
the remainder of the journey home
ward.
Monday afternoon Larry" abandon
ed the car at Putnam square as usual
but failed to dodge Ford car RUM
ing easterly over Main street. Two of
the flivyer wheels passed over the
deg before the animal managed to
pick itself up and start for home, Wig
orously voicing the rough treatment
1t lad sustained at the wheels OF the
tin lIzzie.
When the driver OF the Ford real.
lied that he was about to hit the dog
he iammed his breaks IN so quickly
that the wheels of the car came to
an abrupt stop. One of them rested
on some OF 'Iarrys" long hair and
the process of separation appeared to
be one Of the most painful Incidents
of the painful occasion At least, the
dog appeared TO make more fuss
about it than it did about being run
