PRESIDENT WILSON
POSED FOR PICTURE
Was on Rear Car of Regular 4.23
Southbound Train Yesterday
Shook Hands With Crowd.

President Woodrow Wilson passed south
through Brattleboro yesterday afternoon
about D o'clock on the regular train due
here at 4.23, which was about 30 minutes
late. The President was standing on the
rear platform when the train stopped at
the station. He was completely surround
ed by secret service men, three of whom
stood on the ground and three others on
the platform with him. Others were at
the front end of the car
Clinton l. Davenport had placed his
camera IN position and asked if he might
take a picture One of the secret service
men replied: Yes, from where you are
now"
When the President saw that the cam
era had been focused he turned towards
the machine and posed for moment, cap
in hand Someone then stepped to the
rear of the car and the President leaned
over the rail and shook hands That was
the signal for others and probably 75 or
more men, women and children grasped
his hand. The evident preparations for
construction work rather interested him
and twice during the time the train was
at the station he stepped to the side of
the platform to look at the site where
some day a real railroad station viii be
/ located.

The fact that President Wilson was in

The Baltic flank Of the German armies
under Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
virtually attained the banks of the river
Dvina, between Riga and Dvinsk, with
Petrograd less than 300 miles away in
direct line.
Thence southwark the line sweeps west
with the Russian fortress of kovno still
holding out, but next week may see a
great battle on the road toward the Rus
sian capital.
The second line of defense upon which
the Russians propose to fall back after
abandoning Warsaw has all the appear
anccs of having been rendered untenable
and the British and Russian press IS be
ginning to see in the Austro-German plan
an ambitious plunge deeper into Russia
with Petrograd as the goal.
I'm the meantime the Russian real
guards are fighting desperately, especially
in the critical Dvina region and at kovno
to capture which latter place the Ger
mans are making a terrific sacrifice ot
men.
1t seems plain now that the Germans
purpose no great demonstration in the
west, but intended rather to press to then
