The state industrial accident board,
consisting OF Robert X. Simonds of st.
Johnsbury, chairman, and Sanford X.

all accidents and fatalities which occur
20 employees of places of business en-
ploying 10 or more men must be reported
to the board, which will have jurisdiction
IN the matter Of settling damages ac-
cording TO the scale set forth in the new

drafted that any concern or individual

come under the provisions upon notifying
the board. and already communications
have been received throughout the state
from people signifying their intentions Of

DR.. Vincent H. Coffee Had
Narrow Escape After
Backing into River
INSTRUMENT CASE

Montpelier Phvs; -. lad a
Thrill s.perience
,csw0 Darkness

Lack of guard rail and a slippery
road may be ascribed as strong reasons
| for Ford runabout owned and driven by
DIR. Vincent H. Coffee of Montpelier
| plunging into the Winooski river last
evening about 9:30 o'clock near the Main
street bridge in Montpelier, the driver
narrowly escaping being drowned.
Dr. Coffee was backing out of the yard
adjoining the jeremiah Deadly property
and either he failed accurately to Judge
the width of the road or else the ma
chine slipped along in the oily and mud
dy highway. The car went backwards
into the river before DIR. Coffee could
even attempt to save himself, the Ford
going over an embankment II to Is feet
high into the water, which is deep at that
point.
With the top up and side curtains at
tached, the doctor was pinned down by
the windshield; and that he managed to
tear himself free and swim to the bank
several feet away. is to be considered
almost miraculous.
Uninjured, but very much exhausted
by his efforts, DR. Coffee went in search
Of help to get his machine out Of the
water before returning home. A pair of
horses owned by the city of Montpelier,
after nearly an hours efforts, finally sue
ceeded in dragging the machine to the
road. An examination of the damage
done revealed only cracked windshield
and a broken top. DR.. Coffee was none
thc worse to-day for his abrupt bath.
Damage 10 the car was trivial compared
with the possible loss of a case contain-
ing surgical instruments and medicine.
The case had not been recovered from
the river this morning, and if not found
il will mean a loss OF several hundred
dollars.

REPORTED SUNK
In Northern Galicia and in
Southern Poland Russian
Retreat Continues

The Russian lines are still being swung
back in northern Galieia and southern
Poland in an apparent effort by the
Teutonic allies to clear the way for a
determined move on Warsaw. The Rus
slams admit the continuation of the enc
my's offensive between the Bug and
Vieprz rivers. At the junction of the
latter river with the Yistula in Poland
lies Ivangorud, which Russian observers
believe is the immediate OBJECTIVE of the
Austro-German forces. This region of
lvangorud is little more than 90 miles
southwest of Warsaw.
A German attack by water on Windau
on the Baltic sea just south of the Gulf
of Riga was repulsed by the Russians.
Their official statement says that FIVE
cruisers and many torpedo boats partici-
pated in the attack and an attempt was
declared to have been made to land
troops. One of the torpedo boats was
blown up before the feet retired.
Eyes are being turned toward the
Gallipoli peninsula from which stirring
news recently came and there are hints
from the side of the entente allies that
the successes just reported are to be
followed by still more determined at
tempts to carry the dominating Turk
fish positions.
The German submarine activity is
sharply 10 the front by the sinking of
the steamer Armenian and is further
shown in the sinking of the British bark
Thistleband and the Norwegian steamer
Marna. The case of the Armenian is
being held in abeyance in Washington
until the status of the vessel and the
circumstances in which she was sunk are
fully determined.
