CIVIL SERVICE
GHOST REFUSES
TO LIE DOWN
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Feb. 2.-The judiciary
committee, in executive session this
afternoon, is again taking up the Is
bell amendment to the civil service
law with which it. has wrestled for
the last two weeks. It is understood
that the committee will have some
sort. of a report ready this week.
According to gossip in the capitol
corridors to-day the committee has
been hope1essly divided on the ques-
ton of the amendment. 1t was un-
derstood to-day that a b-commfttee
has been appointed to draft a substi-
tute amendment that may meet with
more favorable action from a majority
of the committee.
The several democratic Office hold
ers, whose places the republican par
ty has sought to grab through the
Isbeu amendment to the civil service
law, were enjoying quiet little
chUclxle, to-day. Most of them cash
ed their January pay checks, which
were paid to them yesterday, by the
republican comptroller.

Washington, Feb. "A declaration
of principle in the shipping bill, an
nouncing the intention of the United
States not to buy ships which would

White House to-day after a conference
between President Wilson and Sena-
tors Kenyon and Norris, Progressive
Republicans. The President indicat-
ed that the administration was ready

Democrats, OF the Senate, IN an eff
fort to save the administration ship
purchase bill from threatened defeat
met in party caucus early to-day and
sought to whip back into line the nine
Democratic Senators who yesterday
aligned themselves with Republican
Senators in an attempt to send the
measure back to the commerce court
The caucus also considered amend
ments to the bill designed to win over
to its support some of the Progressive
Republicans.
The fate Of the bill depends upon
the action the caucus takes on the
motion pending in the Senate to send
the measure back to the committee.
After a canvass last night one of the
Democratic leaders admitted that the
most optimistic forecast on probable
lineup on the motion to recommit the
bill left the Democrats one vote short.
among L1S amendments up IOr con-
sideration by the caucus in effort
to obtain the support of the Progress
sive Republicans without committing
the bill were those to eliminate cabi-
net members from the proposed ship
ping board and to give the board alb
solute control over rates for transpor-
tation of cargoes by government ves4
sells. It was feared, however, that to
win this support would require too
many important concessions. What
the revoIting' Democrats would do in
caucus was the subject of Inuch com
ment. It was said that they would
propose that the shipping bill be
dropped and that the big supply
measures and other important 1egis-
lation, including rural credits, be
passed. Those who revolted were

BRIDGE BLOWN UP;
GERMAN ARRESTED
-
Summary
OF THE
w ar News

The new German attack on the
: Warsaw front has led to some of
the heaviest fighting Of the war
in east thus far. An official state
ment from Petrograd today adj
mits that the Germans succeeded
in carrying Russian trenches in
the region of Sochaczew and Bo-
limo, near the Vistu1a and about
SO miles from Warsaw but states
that the German successes were
of small consequence compared
with the losses they sustained
which are described as enormous.
The battle for possession of the
Carpathian passes continues
without definite success for either
the Russians or the Austrians.
The Petrograd statement says
that in one section of the front
1000 Austrians were captured.
winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the British Admiralty is
quoted as having said that, on ac-
count of England's control of the
seas, Germany was like a man
throttled with a heavy gag and
that 'tthe effort wears out the
heart and Germany knows it,
Pietro Grob1er, a grandson of
Paul Kruger and a member of
parliament of the Union OF South
Africa, has been committed on
a charge of treason. Seventy-one
burghers who refused to serve
against the Germans are to be
conrtnartialed.
The report from the German
war Office today makes no men
ton of an offensive movement on
"a large scale along the Warsaw
front. 1t asserts, however, that
progress is being made In that
region. Aside from a few attacks
by small bodies Of German infan-
try which apparently produced no
results OF note, yesterdays fight
ing in the west was chiefly with
artillery. The German war Office
accused tz1s Frenen military au-
thorities of fa1sifying their Official
communications which they char
acterized as distorting the truth
and being in some particulars
free inventions"
= A despatch from Tabriz, Persia,
says that the Turks left 1000
dead behind them in their retreat
from the Russian forces which
occupied the. city.

FREN

Paris, Feb. 2-The French war Of
flee this afternoon gave out report
on the progress of the war which
reads as follows:
sHThe day sof Feb. was marked by
redoubIed intensity in the artillery
fighting en- our part well as that
of the enemy and by a series of Ger
man attacks of relatively secondary
import, all of which were repulsed
les when compared with the number
of men they had engaged.
I'm Belgium, the German heavy
artillery gave evidence of it's great
est activity on the front of the Bel
gian troops and. particularly against
the various points of support which
these troops have been occupying for
some time past in the region of the
Yser Around Ypres the cannonad-
ing was at some places exceedingly
violent.
Between the Lys and the Somme,
a German regiment attacked a Brit
ish position near Cuinchy and at first
drove the English soldiers back. AZ
tish troops re-occupied the ground
they had lost and then advanced in
to new territory, taking possession of
trenches of the enemy.
ssThe engagement reported in the
announcement given out the night of
Feb. 1 which took place along the
ROADWAY between Bethune and La
Bassee was particularly brilliant for
our infantry. It seems that the Ger
mans had at least ~one battalion in
this engagement. The two first at
tacks were broken by our fire. The

GROUND HOG FROZEN
UNDER, COULDN'T EVEN
TRY TO SEE SHADOW

The ground hog was showed under
to-day and according to the most au-
thentic reports didn't even take
chance to come out and be frightened
by his shadow, back into six weeks
more of repost. To-day is Ground
Hog Day" Feb. 2. According to the
legend, after hibernating all winter
this little animal is supposed to come
to life and creep out for a look at the
big world from which he retreats dur
ing the long dreary winter months.
The tradition which is said to have
originated among the southern p1anta-
tion darkies is that if the ground hog
sees his shadow he is frightened and
runs back into his hole in the ground
to remain for. six weeks longer. Also
six weeks of the severest winter
weather are sure to follow.
To-day the ground hog couldn't see,
his shadow. It's pretty probable ac-
cording to the country folk who set
much store by this tradition, that he
couldn't even get his nose outside, and
that with nearly four. inches of snow,
sleet and hail on the ground, that
warm spot deep down in the earth
which has been his home all winter,
was much more inviting than the
white and dreary waste of the outer
world.
Anyway. the sun didn't shine and if
old Grandpop Ground Hog did get
out, he couldn't have seen his shad-
ow. With the Atlantic states in the
grip of the worst winter storm known
in years, if the legend holds true,
there will be little severe weather af-
ter this storm.

Official
VIEWS OF
War
GERMAN

Berlin. Feb. BY wireless tele-
graphy to Sayville, L. 1.-The head
quarters staff of the German army to-
day gave out>a report on the. progress
of the war reading as folIows:
In the western arena Of the war
there have been artillery exchanges at
several points, with this exception
there is nothing important to report
There have been no important de-
'velopments on the east Prussian
frontier.
"In Poland, north of the river Vis-
tula and near Lipno we have had en-
counters with detachments of Rus
sian cavalry South of the Vistula
our attacks continue to make pro
gress.''
Continuing, today's report says that
the French war reports, during the
past few days, have concained gro
'tesque distortions of the truth to the
disadvantage of the Germans as well
as what is characterized as stfree in
ventions." The staff declines to go
into details in, this regard, simply
saying that the value Of these French
statements is apparent to anyone who
will examine them in the light of the
German official reports.
