SCHOOLMA'M THROWN
 INTO DRIFT OF SNOW
Principal of Osgood Hill School Eject. ed From Sleigh Which Strikes
 Rut After Skidding.

Three teachers of the Osgood Hill school were enjoying their usual morning sleighride from the city to the school yesterday morning when their song was rudely inter- rupted. One of the number was missing. A scream was heard from a nearby snowbank and Miss Inez Henry, principal of the school, emerg- ed appearing like snow woman.
 The sleigh had struck a rut after skidding and had thrown Miss Henry from the seat. The driver, amiable under all conditions-who ever knew Jim" White to get ruffled ?-oblig- ingly hopped from his seat and ex- tricated Miss Henry from her pre- dicament, none the worse for her experience.
 On account of the heavy snowstorm early in the week, the school au- thorities have engaged a sleigh to take the teachers to the school each morning and return them to the city in the evening.

NEW BRITAIN FACES
 REAL MEAT FAMINE
1ie-up in Railroad Traffic Is Causing Shortage of Meat-To Become
 Serious Matter Here.

Local grocers are beginning to feel a shortage of meat. Wholesale meat dealers in this city are beginning to worry about their supply, as the heaNy storm of the past few days has so completely tied up railroad traffic that it is almost impossible to get con- signments of beef shipped to this city from the big distributing stations.
 One of the biggest local wholesalers in meats stated this morning that a shipment which was to have reached here last Wednesday is nowhere in sight and unless 8 supply is quickly received from some source he will have to close up his place of business temporarily, inasmuch as his re- frigerator is now almost empty. At the various grocery stores and meat markets the ice boxes are being rapidly depleted and it is feared that if several carloads of beef do not arrive within the next forty-elght hours there will be a genuine meat famine in New Britain. Another local wholesaler has been tracing carload of beef since Monday and 1t has finally been located in a little town in New York state where it was left when the storm paralyzed traffic.
 With the coming week, the biggest holiday week of the year, when but chers and grocers are planning to make big sales of turkeys, chickens, ducks and fowl of all sorts, to say nothing of pork and other meats with which to set the Christmas dinner table, the dealers are beginning to be worried for fear that the tie-up may cause shortage of poultry. Correspond ingly, the thrifty housewife is worry ing for fear that the shortage may cause a boost in prices.
 Should the freezing rain storm which broke this morning, develop 1 into an ice storm or should even be of sufficient intensity to freeze on the car rails it is evident that traffic will ] be tied up for even a longer period.

 ON SIDE OF ALLIES
Has Offered 200, ,OOO Troops to Entente Powers to Be Used as Military
 Necessities Demand.

Paris, Dec. IT, II a. m .-Lidj Jeassu, the young emperor of Abys- sinia, is so favorably disposed towards the entente allies that he not only re- sisted efforts of German agents to in duce him to abrogate treaties with Great Britain, Italy and France last year. but offered 200, 900 soldiers to be used by the allies as their military necessities demanded, according to Pierre Alype, a member of the colo nial committee of the chamber of deputies.
 M. Alype made this assertion in connection with the resolution now before the foreign affairs and colonial committees of the chamber, offered by Gratien Candace, a colored deputy from Guadaloupe, that the French government, in accord with the allies of France, seek mmediately the means of securing the cooperation of Abyss sinian troops under a guarantee of the independence of that country
 M. Alype pointed out that the Abys- snian troops are well armed and that the railroad connection with the French port of Jubitil made rapid transportation a simple matter. The cooperation of the Japanese fleet is suggested for the transportation of Abyssinian troops to Egypt or Mesopo- tamia. -a

 COURT AS PLAINTIFF
Asks Order to Prevent LOn- don Globe from Publish
 ing Alleged Libels.

London, Dec. IF, 12:16 p. m.-Mrs. Herbert H. Asquith, wife of the premier, appeared as plaintiff in chancery court today, demanding an order to restrain the Globe, from tho publication of alleged libels. Mrs Asquith's attorney said:
 For a whole fortnight before the issue of this writ Mrs. Asquith has been deliberately pursued in the defendants newspaper with accusa- tions of disloyalty and of association with German prisoners at Donning- ton Hall. She has been described as traitor and a disgrace to her sex, and attacked in most opprobrious terms. These attacks were systemat- ically and malevolently maintained and were only suspended after the writ had been issued"

The persecution, he said, has been going on for nearly a year. It began last spring with another paper which has since been com pelled to make public apology.
 The defendant having undertaken to refrain from publishing anything the case the court allowed the matter to stand over until Tues day. The plaintiffs attorney said Mrs. Asquith had made a denial un- der oath of the statements concern ing her
