AuTOBUsDAMAGED.
IN COLLISION
IN ARLINGTON
One Front Wheel Wrecked on Bus
Which is Otherwise Damaged
BUS DRIVER NOT At FAULT
Owner of Massachusetts Car Acknow.
. lodges Responsibility and
Agrees to Settle Loss.

The Bennington-Dorse autobus,
which left here at one o'clock Thurs
day afternoon was in collision two
miles beyond Arlington which put it
completely out OF commission. The
car was driven by A. ]. Palmer of
Dorset and was only partially filled
with passengers, none Of whom were
injured.
At the time of the accident, the bus
was going up grade and was nearing
the top when a heavy car bearing a
dealers license came over the top OF
the hill at about 45 miles an hour. The
road was narrow at that point and in
order to let the car pass, Mr.. Palmer
turned out as far as possible. Even
going part way up the bank on the
side of the road. The approaching car
did not slacken its speed and locked
its back wheel with the front wheel of
the bus. The fender was ripped from
the dealers car and the bus was badly
wrecked, all of the spokes being
knocked out of one wheel the steering
gear broken, and the truck severely
bent.
The driver of the car, which bore
Massachusetts license, admitted that
he was entirely at fault and gave his
name and address and agreed to set
tie the damages. A car was immedi-
ately sent from the Arlington garage
and the passengers taken the rest of
the way to Dorset, thus causing no
break in the schedule. Several men
! were sent up from the Bennington
Garage Thursday evening and towed
back the injured bus which will be
out of commission for several days.
A seven passenger Studebaker was
put on the run this morning and will
be continued as long as the bus is laid
up unless another bus is secured.
Only the heavy build of the bus saved
the accident from being a much more
| serious one.

PARALYSIS CASES IN PlTTsFlELD
Child Taken From New York July I
Becomes Afflicted.

Pittsheld, Aug. 24.-Pittsiield had
two new cases of infantie paralysis
today One victim is the first New
York child in Pittsfeld to be attacked.
He is James b. Sullivan, five years old
son Of DR.. Thaddeus Sullivan of New
York and grandson of Mr.. and Mrs.
James l.. Bacon of 256 South street.
Pittsfeld. Or. Sullivan brought the
boy here to his grandparents home
July /, hoping he would escape the
New York epidemic. The father has
not visited the child since for fear he
might carry the germs. Three weeks
ago the boy was in Springfield with
his mother and took dinner there. Last
Sunday he became i'll. The Bacon
I<me is in the exclusive section.
The second is the son, two years old
OF Albert Bishop Of Oak street. This
is the first case in the Morningside
district.
The health board today asked the
pastors of all churches not to admit
children less than sixteen years old to
all services.

RAILROAD CRISIS
STILL FAR FROM
SETTLEMENT
Little Progress Made Toward Avert
ing Threatened Strike
ANOTHER CONFERENCE TODAY
President Meets With Brotherhood
Representatives But No lnforma-
tion Develops.

Washington, Aug. 25.--With all in
terested parties at loggerheads over
the settlement of the threatened rail-
road strike, President Wilson today
created some excitement by calling
the heads OF the Brotherhoods to the
White House. The conference lasted
for one and one.half hours and at its
close the workers stated that there
were no new developments.
1t is apparent that the heads of the
railroad companies involved are un-
compromisingly opposed to the grant
inig of an eight-hour day with ten
hours pay. There is, however, reason
to believe that an agreement might
be reached on a basis of eight hours
work for eight hours pay.

GEN. SARRAIl MEETS DEFEAT

London, Aug. 25.-The drive of the
Bulgarian army against the allied
right flank on the Macedonian front
has apparently developed into sharp
er clash with the entente forces and
greater losses to them than had prev
iously been indicated, Judging from
the official report received from Sofia
yesterday.
severe defeat was administered
to Gen. SarraiPs troops along the
Struma river northeast of Salonica,
Monday, the statement declares, the
entente forces taking fight, leaving
many dead and abandoning quantities
of munitions and supplies, including
eight machine guns.
The Bulgarian forces have now en-
trenched themselves on the east bank
of the Struma and along the highway
fetal report yesterday. Their posi-
tions here lie in the way of an allied
advance along the most direct route
into Bulgaria.
Reports as to conditions along the
other sections of the front in the Bal
kans are conflicting. On the entente
side it is announced that the Servians
have successfully taken the offensive
along the western end of the line, cap
turing hight near Lake Ostrovo,
while Berlin declares the Bulgarians
are the aggressors in the fighting in
this region. Apparently no important
movement is as yet in progress on the
center of the line, where the main
thrust of the entente is expected.
Defeat of the entente forces along
the Struma river, on the Macedonian
front in northeastern Greece, was an
nounced by the Bulgarian war Office
in a statement issued Wednesday at
Sofia. The statement says the en-
tente forces took fight, leaving the
ground covered with dead and that
up to the time the statement was is
sued the bodies of more than 400 dead
