BIG BLACK BEAR
TOURED STREETS
Of BENNINGTON
Night Caller From Mountains
Driven In By Dogs
LEFT BEFORE DAY BROKE
Residents of Southwest Section
of Village Had Rare View OF
Wild Life Friday Morning
LEFT BEFORE DAY BROKE

A black bear, which was probably
driven off the nearby mountains by
dogs, or perhaps came on his own ac'
count for social reasons, paid Ben
nngton a visit early Friday morning
There seems to be little doubt but
that the story is true, for several en-
tIrely reputable citizens report that
they saw the animal.
His royal .lighness was said to be
about the size of well proportioned
Airedale dog but won d likely weigh
In the neighborhood Of 1870 pounds be
cause most bears are more chunkily
built. Once or twice the beast was
seen taking his own GOOD TIME
swinging along In the gutter ou East
Main street as unconcerned as a
cchool boy
1t was his peculiar gait, when he
was seen near Bradford's mill, that
especially attracted the attention oi
those who chanced to be on the
street during the small hours of the
morning.

GET MONTHS VACATION
Chance For Young Men at Camp
Dsvens This Summer

A months vacation, with all ex-
penses paid; with free games and lee
lures by prominent men delivered for
ones pleasure-it sounds like pass
age from Hans Anderson or the
BROTHERS Grimm. but it is solid fact.
Uncle Sam is preparing summer
training camp for civilians, in the
heart of New England, free OF all
charge to those who are fortunate
enough to get the opportunity and
take it.
The proposal. in effect, is known in
official circles as the Citizens Mill
tary Training Camp, which opens at
Camp Devens on August 1st and con-
tinues through the month. a
The plan, an outgrowth and ex-
pansion of the Pattsburg idea, af-
fords three camps, the Red, White
and Blue, which will be held sim
ultaneously at Devens during Aug
ust. 1t is of particular interest to
young men of this vicinity, who are
interested that Colonel George Will
liams, who lately commanded Fort
Ethan Allen, will be in charge of the
Citizens Military Training Camp.
Despite the attractive features Of
fered by Uncle Sam to induce young
men to join the camp, Vermont is far
behind its quota, with 100 more va
Lcancies yet to be filled The time is
short The last date for receiving
applications is July TO- Vermont
should be up and doing If it is to
uphold the traditions of the Green
Mountain boys of the valor of Civil
war days and of the enviable record
established during the dark days OF
the World War, when some 10000
went forth under Old Glory to the call
of the country.
With the reduction of the number
bof the Regular Army, the National
Guard becomes the bulk of Uncle
Sans defense, with the aid of the Off.
GERS and specialists in the military
establishments known as the Organic
ed Reserves. The Citizens Military
Training Camp is supplementary to all
of these. There are no strings attach
ed to enrolment for the August camp
at Devens, and participation in the
camp does not mean that a man Is
signed up for military duty, the Off.
GERS in charge declare. This is only
another step in the preparedness plan
for the defense Of America Vermont
must not fall down in doing her bit
to keep the country out of potential
wars. Burlington News.

TRAVELLED BY MOTOR CARS

Real matter of fact gypsies, cars and
cars OF them, with their motley clothed
women and. numberless dirty brown
skinned children paid our city a visit
during the heat OF yesterday afternoon.
Their welcome was cold one.
Cadillacs came down one street, and
Hudsons up another, and Fords out OF
the alleys. The ubiquitous wanderers
seemed to turn up from everywhere at
once and lit in the center OF the town
like a swarm OF bees.
II the passengers, especially the fe-
male ones, had kept to their seatg,
all might have been we'll But such
was not the case. The girls" un-
loaded themselves into various stores
and shops in most busy manner. 1t
was then that the police took a hand.
Cars began to move along and stimuli
taneously gypsy mistresses and mai
dens appeared on the streets looking
for their particular chariot OF the
cortege. Some OF the women flew
around in much the same manner and
acted like hen defending her brood

less than 400 pounds and more than

TRAINS WILL RUN
r. r. Executives Say Strike VIII Not
Stop Service.

Chicago. June 30.-"The trains will
continue to run, strike or no strike,
railway executives united in declar-
ing tonight after the efforts of the
United States railroad labor board
to halt a strike of 100000 shopmen,
set for tomorrow had met with ap-
parent failure.
Neither the maintenance of way
employees, who also have been taking
a strike vote, but who Gave decided
not to walk out tomorrow, nor the
shopcrafts mechanics, who are sche
duled to throw down their tools al
10 o'clock tomorrow, have anything
to do with the actual operation Of
the trains, the railway managers ex
planned.
That work, it was explained, Is car
ried out by the "Big Four" brother
hoods, whose international presidents
issued orders yesterday that theil
members should continue to carry
out their usual duties, irrespective o
any strike action on the part of thu
other unions.
The maintenance of way men com
prise the track repair gangs and 9th
err semi-skilled labor. The shopcraft
workers, who are more vital to tn
efficient operation Of road, max
repairs on rolling stock.

PRESIDENT BACKS BOARD
Announcement at Washington On
Eve OF Strike.

Washington, June S0,-The admin
istration speaking today through the
White House on the eve of the called
strike of 100000 union railroad shop
workers declared its determination
to stand squarely behind the RAILROAD
| labor board.
The administration view, set forth
in language as forcible as the
spokesman could command, was that
the labor board is the one agency of
the government dealing with disputes
between the railroads and their EN-
ployes and therefore its DEGREES must
and would be backed up by the gov
ernment.
The general belief Is that as the
Transportation act clothed the labor
board with no powers to enforce Its
decision there were no steps left for
the government to take at this stage
except to maintain its stand behind
the boards decisions.
Generally speaking officials ap.
peared more concerned over the float
ing of the boards authority than they
were over the shopmens walkout
