RUSSIAN REINFoRcEMENTS.
Have Been Brought Up Along the Whole
Front.

London, March 1.-The Russian Of
fensive operations appear now to ex-
tend along their whole front-an indi-
cation that they have been able TO bring
very strong reinforcements in the field.
They have successfully checked the Ger
man advance in north Poland, where the
Germans arc reported TO be in retreat
and tho recapture Of Przasnysz, after Sc
we're fighting, has given them an excel
lent pivotal point from which TO carry
on their further operations.
All the Petrograd correspondents re.
fer 10 the capture Of a large number Of
Germans as a new phase Of the war and
credit IL TO a lack OF officers among the
German armies and the large number Of
Young unframed men who have been
drafted into them.
The Russian offensive extends TO what
IS now known AZ the Bzura -Rawka front,
where they successfully opposed Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's attempt 20
advance on Warsaw in December and
January.

HIGHER RATES ON NEW HAVEN.
Passenger Tariff Increased at Midnight
to Two and a Half Cents Mile.

Boston, March Increased passenger
rates on the New York, New Haven a
Hartford railroad in Massachusetts, went
into effect at midnight, according 70 otli.
cials OF the roads, who said the public
service commission had granted permis-
sion for the establishment of uniform
rates of two and one-half cents a mile
for single tickets outside the l5-miie
metropolitan zone.
Passenger rates on the Boston & Maine
and the Boston & Albany railroads re-
main unaltered, the commission having
refused to sanction schedules filed by Of
ficers of the two roads. 1t was learned
from an authoritative source that a
"probable basis for compromise" had been
reached and that new schedules would be
filed Immediately.
Chairman Frederick J. Mcleod of the
public service commission said that the
findings of the commission would be Civ
en- out in full to-day. Further than TO
say that some rates had been allowed
and Others had not, he refused to make
any comment. The proposed new sched-
ues have been under consideration by
the commission since last fall.
A high official of the New Haven sys-
TEN said that the granting of the new
rates on that line would mean an in
creased revenue of about $l50,O00 year.

DAM WASHED OUT.
Chelsea Cement Structure Succumbed TO
Ice Pressure.

Chelsea. March lDuring the big
thaw last week, the ice broke mp in the
river and formed such jam in George
NJ. Medcalf's millpond that the new ce-
ment dam he built late last fall was un-
able to stand the strain. A section,
some IA feet long, was torn from its
foundation and carried down the stream
a few feet and il is thought that sew
eral feet OF the dam which remained
was moved from its foundation. In one
or two places, too, the water seemed to
have found its way underneath the dam.
Until the water shall subside more and
the ice goes out, the damage cannot be
determined fully. However, it looks as
if the dam was completely ruined, which
is great misfortune TO Mr.. Medcalf
and viii be a great Inconvenience to the
farmers of the vicinity, who viii have to
90 elsewhere 10 get their grinding done
until the dam is repaired or new dam
built, neither Of which can be done until
after the high water of the spring and
early summer is past.

FLAGS NOW FLYING
OVER SOME FORTS
Operations Are Causing a
Tremendous Sensation in
the Near East and Turks
Are Preparing to Move
Their Capital to Broussa
i'm Asia

London, March /, noon.-The flags of
Great Britain and France are now flying
at the entrance to the Dardanelles over
the Turkish forts, reduced by the sea
power of the allies While il would aF-
pear to be a fact that the allied fleet had
reached Chanak, IS miles from the Medi-
terranean entrance to the straits, the
British press warns the public not to OK
pect the immediate fall of CONSTANT
nople. Nevertheless the operations of
the British and French warships against
the sea defenses of Constantinople are
creating a tremendous stir in the near
east.
Broussa, in Asiatic Turkey, has been
selected by the Turks as their new cap
ital, in case it becomes necessary to evac-
uate Constantinople. The Germans in
Turkey, it is declared, wanted the Turks
to move to Adrianople, in European Tur-
key, but the Turks would have none of
this and started shipping their archives
to Broussa.

RECEIVER APPOINTED
For Rutland Manufacturing Co.--General
Depression Blamed.

Rutland, March Henry o. Carpen
ter OF Washington street was Saturday
appointed receiver Of the Rutland Manu-
featuring Co., whose plant is located on
Forest street, the action resulting from
bill in chancery brought against tht
concern by number of bondholders and
creditors through the law firm of Law
renee. Lawrence & Stafford, before Su-
perior Judge Fred NJ Butler. The op.
erations at the plant will continue fol
the present, at least, and an effort will
,be made TO sell the business after the
present financial troubles are straight.
ened out. Edward r. White is manager
and part owner of the concern. The gen
eral unsettled conditicn OF business in
the country is ascribed as cause of the
receivership.
About five or six years ago Mr.. White
bought the controlling interest in the
business from the Creamery Package
Manufacturing Co., which had been OPP
Grating the plant and about three years
ago the issuance Of $4,000 worth OF
bonds was authorized, these being Sc
cured by mortgage on the plant. About
S65 900 worth of these We're ultimately
issued, a part of which have been re-
deemed, and the business OF the concern
was prosperous. Some of these bonds
arc now due and the manager did not
see how. he could meet these and other
demands of creditors. The management
did not have the money to buy in the
necessary stock and a meeting OF the
bondholders was called for the purpose
of laying Tho. matter Defore them and OF
discussing means of procuring funds to
carry on the business but nothing def.
mite could be devised.
Manager Whites according to the bill,
did not feel like purchasing stock on
credit for another year, realizing that
the bonds were past due and the collec-
ton liable to be forced at any time. II
is claimed that if the court did issue eN-
eeutions the plant would be sold piece
meal and at great loss to the owners
and to the dissatisfaction of the credi-
tors.
