In trying to determine just how il

The witnesses could not explain
this.
Asked If it was customary to send
trains out two minutes apart. the wit
ness said it was sometimes done, and
there was not much worry, because
of the signal system in use.
Engineer Kennedy of the express
testified he was 80 minutes late in
leaving New Haven and was running
between As and SO miles an hour
hoping to make UP time to Bridge

Is IN All OF these regions, fresh beer
is worth $1.25 a pound and eggs bring
fifteen cents each. Even at these
prices, they are obtainable with diff
hculty, by those who can afford such
costly luxuries., The entire civilian
population, excepting the Germans
who have immigrated since the. occu-
patton began, would suffer but for the
efforts of the American Relief Com
mission in cooperation with relief
movements in Spain and Holland, ac-
cording to Maurice Barres of the
French. Academy Even with the
generous aid of America, and other
neutrals, it has been necessary to
apportion the provisions in limited
quantities and with great care. Each
family receives daily a card emitting
it to distribution of about ounces
of provisions per head, including 6 "
ounces of -four. 1 ounce of rice, L "
ounces of lard or bacon, u ounce of
peas or beans, " ounce of sugar, n
ounce of salt, and II ounce of coffee,
The average French working man
consumes on the average 2 pounds of
provisions a day, SO that he is now
obliged to live on the fourth of what
he is accustomed to. The products
Of the sell have been exhausted large
~ by requisitions for the German
troops.
gion of Longwy are nearly all of them
without proper clothing, and the same
situation is said to exist throughout
the occupied regions, it being almost
impossible to find clothing at prices
which the impoverished population
is able to pay. Poorly nourIshed
and insuf1ciently clad, these people
are the object of a great deal of a1lx-
iety on account of their exposure to
disease and epidemics.
Supplies sent into the region for the
relief Of the population have not been
interfered with by the German au-
thorities, but have reached their. des-
tinations through the efforts of the
American representatives located at
Lille, Va1enciennes, Vervins, Charlie
VILE and Longwy. The distribution is
in the hands of local committees Of
French volunteers under the direc-
ton of the Americans The French
National Relief Committee, impressed
with the urgent need of further relief
in the form of clothing as we'll as
provisions, is issuing an appeal for
clothing supplies and money from
Frenchmen inhabiting uninvaded re-
gions. The supplies contributed To-
caIly are forwarded to the population
through the good offices of the Swiss
government.
