to questions, that such an agreement

and was a subject not under the war
department s jurisdiction. The protocol,
of which little has become known, still
is under discussion at Gen. Carranza s

Ell PASO, Texas, April 10. - There
is considerable mystery today over the
reported crossing of the border by Gen.
Ynez Salazar, the former Huerta gen
eral who has been living here and who
is said to have gone into Mexico with
avowedly hostile intentions toward the
United States.
The story of the crossing was told to
the police by man who had been
closely associated with Salazar. After
an investigation the police announced
that they believed the story to be true.
Mrs. Salazar was questioned and said
her husband was away from home, but
she did not know where he was. She
denied, however, that he had entered
Mexico. In the meantime q proclama-
tion was discovered purporting to be
signed by Salazar in which lie called on
all patriotic Mexicans to join him in
the protection of Mexican soil.

Eleven and One-Half Inches
i'm BrattlebOrO at Un-
seasOnable Time
TROLLEY TRAFFIC
OUT OFtKILTER
Telephone Lines Not Affected-TraveI
by Sleighs and Wheels Equally Diff
fcult-Sharp Drop in Temperature
Snow-Laden Trees Pretty.

Eleven and one-half inches of snow
fell IN BrattlebOro Saturday and yes
terday, causing inconvenience and
many comments upon the unreasonable
ness of the storm As the ground was
not frozen it made traffic by vehicles
very difficult. A sleigh cut through
and dragged hard and the wheels of a
wagon lugged around pounds of the
snow with each revolution and dragged
equally hard.
Boston & Maine trains were late,
but as they have been late nearly
every run for several weeks, this can
not be attributed to the storm. The
trolley traffic was very much out of
kilter, due TO car No. performing its
customary stunt Of getting off the
track and car No. being equally in
considerate.
Car No. ! recently was equipped with
new set of wheels and apparently
has not taken kindly to them. 1t has
been off the track three times at least
since then, the last being on Washing
ton street yesterday morning on the
run that would have brought church
goers from the Prospect Hill district
TO the various churches in time for
the morning service. A little later car
No. 6, the double truck car, got off the
. rails on Milestone bridge
Although the snow stuck to wires
and limbs, it did not freeze to them
so as to pull down wires as is some
times the case with sleet storms. None
Of the telephone lines were affected.
The temperature dropped last night be-
low freezing, which made today a bet
ter day in the sugar orchards than
some of the recent ones have been.
/ Under the electric lights Saturday
night and b. daylight Sunday morn
ing the snow-laden trees presented

urday night, when there was no wind
often some branch of a tree would lose
its burden Of snow and spring M
against some other limb, dislodginp the
snow upon it, and this limb in turn
would repeat he operation, and so on.
The resultant shower of snow down
1 through the limbs was extremely
/ pretty.
The plowing of the sidewalks yes

did not appeal to the workmen as
anything out of the ordinary. They-
said that a year ago yesterday and
four years ago it was necessary to
plow.

In a desperate struggle for the pos

Paris announces this today in report
in a battle which ragged in the Yer

Germans winning no appreciable ad-
vantage.
The evacuation of the Bethincourt

darkness and without interference, and
the French, through the move, have
have been enabled to straighten out
their line, which now runs from the
