Although the winter of l9l5-l6 has not
yet been marked by any low tempera-
tures-not even zero in central Vermont
there nevertheless has been succession
of snowstorms of damaging consequence
For the second time, for instance, the
telegraph and telephone wires have been
Frustrated in New England, and the serv-
ice thereon has been crippled for days at
a stretch. During the past few days the
people of New England have been brought
to realize in part what the conditions
would be If they We're suddenly deprived
of the means of telegaphing and tele-
phoning and without substitute pro-
vided. The deprivation would be a ire
mendous handicap. No one knows that
more than the newspapers, which depend
very largely upon wire communication
for the conveyance Of their news dis
patches. They have been handicapped in
measure under the partial crippling Of
the system in the most recent storm; but
those periods of partial damage are as
short as possible, for be IL said 70 the
credit Of the corporations controlling the
means Of communication that they put
out extraordinary efforts 20 repair the
damage in the least possible time They
are doing 20 in the present instance; and
II they are not smitten with another
blizzard they will have the lines al over
New England working within reason
able time.

great many overturns may be accom-
plished before formal peace is signed;
and it remains to be said that although
Germany has been overrunning these
small states she has not thereby gained
much to enable her to continue the war
indefinitely against foe which has a
way to the supplies of the world through
the possession of the greatest navy in
the world. King Peter Of Serbia, as well
as King Albert, if at all optimistic, must
realize that.

TEUTONS MAKE.
WONDERFUL CAPTURE.

LONDON, June 20-The Teutons,
in their capture of Grotek last Sat
urday performed what the military
critics of the British and Russian
armies deemed an impossibility, and
the remarkably short time in which
the capture was made is a matter
of much comment in military circles
here
When the news reports announced
that the TeutonS We're making a
frontal attack on Grotek, the mill
tary critics, who are familiar with
the Notifications there. declared that
the action was suicidal. and that
it would result in the annihilation
of the attacking army. But the
Austrian and German forces began
the bombardment on last Thursday
and on Friday determined charge
was made. The batteries were
stormed, and after several hours of
the hardest fighting that has been
reported since the war started. the
place surrendered Saturday.
This left the way open for the
Teutons to make more effective
attack on the main Russian forces

Police Raid Many
Gambling Places

SEATTLE, June 20.-As a result
Of a municipal campaign for the
elimination of gambling in this city,
so people We're arrested last night.
and it is declared that every gamb
ling place hereafter will be raided.
The authorities have set about the
matter to eXterminate gambling with
a determination that has not been
made evident here in the past.
OF the people arrested last night,
the majority were Chinese. though
many white people We're also book
ed at the police station on the same
charge. The raids were unexpected,
and 1t was not known until the ar
rests were made that raids had
been planned by the city authorities.
The newspapers Of the city have
been criticising Of late the way the
police have been unable to put an
effectual stop to gambling, and it
is believed that these criticisms
had something to do with the raids
last night and the announcement
that gambling will be eliminated
here.

GREEKS PLAN NEW
" AR MOVEMENT.

PETROGRAD, June 20.-Accord
ing to word that has been received
here from Athens, Greece, the mill
tary authorities in that country have
outlined a new plan of attack on
Constantinople, the Turkish capital.
To attempt to take the city by
forcing an entrance through the
Dardanelles or the Bosphorus is
declared useless by the men fam
iliar with the Notifications, and thus
it is stated that if Greece goes into
this war, it will refuse to enter
into any campaign including an at,
tack on the Dardanelles, which are
declared impregnable.
The plan outlined by the Grecian
authorities is to get Bulgaria's con-
sent to an invading army going into
Turkey through that country, In that
way, land attack can be made on
Constantinople, it is said, from the
north and west, which is the only
way that the city can successfully
be reached by an enemy.

Objects to Uncle
Sam S Peace Plans
GERMAN PAPER SAYS TIME is
NOT RIPE FOR ENDING
THE WAR;

BERLIN, June 20.-ln an edi-
torial printed in the Morning
Post Of this city, it is asserted
that the efforts Of the United
States TO bring about peace are
not appreciated by the German
people.
Uncle Sam is referred to as a
self-appointed peacemaker, and
that in that capacity is not liked
by any of the countries now at
war
1t is further stated that now
is not the proper time for trying
to promote peace. as to stop
the war now would not mean
the final settlement of any OF
the issues that are involved.
Germany, this newspaper states.
will fight until it has gained
its own peace terms.

Dry Weather Is
Threatening Crops

AMSTERDAM, Holland, June 20.
Continued dry weather is threat
ening the destruction of the crops
of the Netherlands, as well as those
Of Belgium. The ground is parched
and dry, and vegetation is suffering
worse than it has for many years
past
If the drought continues much
longer, it is quite certain that next
winter will witness the worst fam
inc in this part Of the world that
has been known here. This is due
to the fact that the war has al
ready depleted the country Of its
stores and the blockade of commerce
has prevented other nations from
sending in supplies to make up for
the shortage.

Archie Roosevelt
Borrows His Fine

NEW YORK, June 20. = Archie
Roosevelt son of the former Presi-
dent of the United States, was en-
abled, owing to the prominent stand
ing of his father, to escape going
to Jail today when he was unable
to pay a fine in the police court.
Young Roosevelt had been arrest
ed for speeding, and when taken to
the police station, he was brought
before a magistrate and fined $25.
He told the court that he was with
out money, and he almost defied
the court to imprison him.
There was a whispered conversa'
ton between the police judge and
the arresting oficer, and when the
policeman walked up to the young
man and holding out the $25 for
the fine, offered to lend 1t to him,
young Roosevelt took the money,
paid his fine and promised to repay
1t tomorrow.

Friday by The Citizen from the Daw-
son News, it is stated that the mail
accumulated at that place has all

follows:
The American mail forwarding
clerk at this place says that all
accumulated mail has been forward

tons of all classes, consigned 10

There were several days delay

including gasoline, of which there
is none, excepting that which is

GERM ANS GET
H,,r ZEN

LONDON, June 2O.-French troops
marching southwark from Iorette
and others marching northward from
Neuville, caught the Germans in
tight squeeze, which caused them
heavy losses, but failed to make
them abandon their positions The
Germans were squeezed into place
five miles wide, with French troops
on each side, but in their determin-
alton to hold this and other posi-
tions, the Germans sacrificed a to-
tai of about 10000 men.
There has been considerable fight
ing during the last week at various
places in the western zone. The
allies failed in their attack on the
German lines near La Bassee, but
further northward the Belgian troops,
fighting with the allies, made ad-
vances on both sides of Dixmude
The French gained ground in Lower
Alsace during the week.

Many Jitney Buses
To Begin Operation

SEATTLE, June 20-Under the
direction of a municipal bureau, so
jitney busses will begin operation
in Seattle this week. 1t is officially
announced that this will only be
starter, and that soon there will
be at least 800 jitney busses oper-
ating in the same way.
The jitney busses are causing much
complaint from the street car COM
panies, which declare that II this
kind of competition keeps up, 1t
will not be possible for them to pay
expenses. They have been trying
to get the city to pass laws restrain
ing the operation of the jitney
busses.

Happy Creek Trail
RICHARDSON WILL SEND NEW
MAN OVER PROPOSED
HAPPY ROUTE.

That r. J. Sommers, who is
coming here to supersede John
Zug as local superintendent of
the Road commission, will make
a trip over the Happy creek
trail to the Tolovana was the
statement of Col. w. p. Rich
ardson yesterday. The trip will
be made with the view of look
ing over the Happy route again
in order to make certain that
no mistake is made in the selec-
ton of route.
In making his statement yes
terday, Col. Richardson said
that he is perfet tly satisfied
with Mr.. Zug's decision in the
matter of the Toiovana road.
as he has every confidence in
his judgment He further
stated, however, that survey
only can tell the difficulties to
be surmounted and that if they
are too great on the OlneS
route, the trail may be put
through by way of Happy creek.
One reason for the decision
to send the new superintendent
over the Happy route is the fact
that Col Richardson has been
asked on all sides why he does
not build the road that way.

MANY HURT IN
CAR ACCIDENT

SEATTLE, June 2O--Two people
are dying and more tnan a dozen
others are seriously injured as
result Of street car having run
its wild run of three miles 1t over
turned when it struck an open
switch.
The car was coming down a
long hill, when the brake broke, and
the car became uncomfortable. The
car could have been controlled by
the electric current had it not been
that when the brake broke. the troll
ley flew off the wire, and it was
not possible to get it back on through,
out the long ride.
AS soon as the car started on its
wild run, the conductor tried to
place the trolley on the wire, but
failing, turned his attention to the
passengers. 1t was through his cool
ness that the passengers were pre-
vented from getting into panic and
trying to jump off the flying car.
He advised all to lie down on the
floor, and as the trolley was not
working and the car was in total
darkness, except when It passed
street light, there was much con-
fusion in the car.
II the car had not struck an
open switch it is believed that no
one would have been seriously in
jured, for it would have slowed up
when it reached the level ground
But it was going at terrific speed
when it struck the open switch and
this made it turn over onto one
! side

British Recruits
Taken From Train
UNDER ENGLISH
OFFICER ARRESTED IN
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, June 20.-Thirty
men, who were on their way
from San Francisco to New York,
accompanied by a lieutenant Of
the British army, were taken off
a train here last night by gov
ernment officials for the purpose
of determining if the men were
recruited in the United States
for service in the war.
When questioned, most of the
men admitted that they were not
British subjects and the inquiry
into the matter is expected to
be thorough.
The holding up OF these men,
it was explained by the federal
officer who stopped them. is the
result of a determination on the
part of the government to stop
the British from recruiting in
the United States.

HEIGHTS OF lEMBERG
ARE BEING STORMED.

LONDON, June 2O-Reports re-
ceived this morning from Austria.
by way of Russia, are to the effect
that the Austrian troops have COM
menced to storm the heights of
Lemberg, Galicia, and as the Teu-
tons have a new army coming from
the direction OF the Dniester river,
it seems that the operations there
will be of the most important of
the western zone.
Lemberg is the last place of i'm
portance that the Russians occupy
in Austria, and for that reason the
contest for its possession is prom
ised to be a bitter one. The Teutons
have announced that they will oc-
cupy it by July l.

EIGHT BRITISH
SHIPS SUNK.

LONDON, June 20.-During the
past week, the German submarines
have sunk eight British merchant
men. But to prove that this is not
of special Importance and that it is
not stopping the commerce of the
British Isles the admiralty points
out the fact that during the week
there was a total of 1900 vessels
to arrive and depart to and from
ports of the British Isles. Thus it
is declared that the few vessels
sunk in that time by the Germans
pared with the total number of yes
sells coming and going.
