YERMONT KEEPS BENNINGTON DAY (Special to the News. .Montfelier, Vt, Aug. 16. In ac- cordance with Giistom Vermont today observed the 135th anniversary of the battle of Bennington as a legal hol- iday. Flags were raised at many points-jand as a rule the banks: and all public offices remained closed. The Battle of Bennington, though comparatively small as. regards the number ofparticipants, was one of the most important conflicts of the Revolution so far as results are con- cerned. The battle is generally rec- ognized by historians as the turning point of th war. It was the first time -in history that rawysmilitia had contended successfully against in- trenched troops, It made the victory of Saratoga possible, which in turn encouraged France to:recognize the independence of the American colon- fes.

London, August 15 At last Mr. Lioyd George has met a foe who has. made him pause, But the paus is due more to surprise than terror, for the latest to cross swords with the redoubtable Welsh ,ChanceHor of the Exchequer is none other than the Duchess of Somerset, one of the most respected wearers of the straw- berry leaves. The Duchess Who Wont she has been dubbed by those Liberals who do not take her opposition to the fnew servant insurance law serfously. rhe Duchess declares that nothing in this world will force her to lick the stamps that all employers are hence- forth to buy and attach, week by week, to the cards of. their employees. She has published her defiance of the powerful cabinet-minister-' Hic press and those who know her dest believe she will stick to her guns to the Iast gasp. No Superfluous Cash. Her opposition may really develop into a serious thing for the Duchess. Over-her rebel head hangs a possible fine of 50 for every evasion of the new law. At first thought there seems to be no reason why such a penalty should trouble a real Duchess in the least, but as a matter of fact this exalted peeress hasn't any super- fluous cash and would feel'the strain of the demand upon her pocket-book as much ag many of her more humble countrywomen. But her grace of Somerset is a great fighter and if-she retires from the field in defeat, it will be with colors tying and the band playing. It ts by mo means her first experi- ence in. public controversy. In fact she once enjoyed an even greater prominence than she does at present, over a Vastly different matter. It ap- pears that one of her hobbies was the education of children and she took a particular Interest in the parish Next day the press of England was full of the yiews of the Duchess and hundreds of people,-some of them Of even equal rank to her grace, rushed to the defence of Jack and his fel- low inhabitants of fairyland. The Duchess carried her objections into the -council room of the board of managers of the sinning school, but got the worst of it, That, however, is but one instance of her grace's liking for the lime- light. She is one of the busiest wo- men: of her-rank: in England,, She ts a member of the. governing bodies of a score of prominent organizations and movements. One day she is en- gaged in collecting funds for feed- ing poor children-in the. Hast End-of London, and so energetic is she that taking an active: part in the actual distribution of the food. The following day she is addressing members of the Church Army, an or- ganization of the Church of England somewhat on the lines of the Salva- tion Army. Later, she is presiding at ja meeting of the Navy League which carries on a constant fight for an overwhelming British fleet. A Canadian by Birth, The Duchess is a Canadian by birth, the daughter of Mr. Charles Mackin- non. In her veins flows some famous blood, however, for she is descended from a worthy man than Lachlan Mor, Chief of Mackinnon, known as Big Lach the famous ny of the Lord of the Isles.
