NEW EMbARG0ES BY
 "NEW HAVEN" ROAD
Accumulation Of Freight Forces
 Company to Drastic Action

New Haven, Feb. 29.-On account of a rapid accumulation of freight again on the system the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad put into effect at midnight last night some new embargoes on freight in carload and less than carload lotes. In the official announcement of the embar- goes the road states that owing to the accumulation of freight and the fact tha cars are accumulaing faster than they can be unloaded, thus threaten ing a complete tie-up, the following embargoes applicable to all carloads and less than carload shipments are in operation With these exceptions:
 Live stock, perishable freight food stuffs for human consumption, feed for live stock, news print paper for domestic use only, charcoal, fuel, oil and gasoline in tank cars.
 To insure effectiven ess Of this mo- tice all shipments not included in the foregoing exceptions, showing evi- dence of forwarding subsequent to February 2S, will not be accepted at junction points during it's continuance.
 Further Embargoes.
 Further embargoes effective at midnight, FeDruary 2S, have been placed against spelter, copper, pig lead, iron or stell construction ma- terial, cement, wall plaster stone, lime brick, lumber, terra cotta and tile from New York city, Brooklyn terminals and New York lighterage points or from water craft at Long Island sound ports and Boston; against all freight for ighterage de- livery in New York harbor and against all shipments to the Merch- ants and Miners Transportation com pany at Providence and Boston.
 Not All Affecting Local Traffic. These embargoes do not apply |, local business between points on the New Haven road except as noted spelter, copper, pig lead, iron or steel construction material, cement, wall plaster, stone lime brick lumber ter ra cotta and tile from New York, etc.
 These embargoes are necessarily drastic because of the over-taxed facilities of the road and receipt of freight in greater volume than con- signees are able to dispose of prompt.

RUSSIANS ALIVE TO NEEDS OF
 COUNTRY
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 31.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 31. - Americans, Englishmen, Frenchmen. returning through this neutral gate way from the wide domains of Russia all tell the same story of the wonder ful awakening of the great northern empire, commercially and civiIIv as we'll as in the gathering of military resources to carry the var to a sue cessful conclusion.
 Americans in particular seem most deeply impressed with the changed conditions in Russia, and are the most sanguine as to the future of that coun- try. They say there is something akin to the old call of the west in the fast opening opportunities and the wide reaching resources of Russia. which sends an anxious jingle through the veins of every American business man or prOspectOr who has delved into Russian conditions as they exist to- day. and who is farsighted enough to see the prosperity that is in store for the Russian people.
 It may be one of the anomalies of an anomalous period in history that barbarous war shall teach a people of 180,000,00 souls the ways and the benefits of real civilization and en- lightenment And yet that is what American travellers in Russia all agree is taking place. Many thousands of lives are yet to be sacrificed at the Austrian and German fronts, but it is now agreed that there will come back from the firing lines an army of millions of men trained, disciplined, sChOoled at least partially in the laws of hygiene and righ living, educated in a degree beyond anything cOntem- plated few years ago, well fed, well clothed and ready to take their allot, ted place in the commercial upbuild, ing of the empire and the civic up building of the people

CITY SCHOOL NOTES

New pupils are continually entering
school. We now have an enrolment
pf near 500 pupils. / suppose the
greatest number in any town of its
size in the state.
We think we have one of the best
Grammar Schools in the state. with
nine of the best teachers.
Prof Carlisle, principal, other
members of faculty are Mrs. j. M.
Hatfield. Mrs. B. G. Adcock, Misses
Bessie Alcorn, Maggie Davis, Leona
Byrne, and Carrie Gore, Mrs Algood
Carlen, and Mrs. @. Dyer
Prof. Carlisle wants to take as
many pupils as want to go on holi-
day trip to the Hermitage. It will
be very pleasant trip.
l suppose the school will have a
holiday on Thanksgiving.
The City School boys are cleaning
up the school grounds by raking and
burning of the leaves. They are al
SO piling the leaves on the flower
beds in order to enrich them for the
planting of flowers in the Spring. We
hope to have even prettier flowers
next year than we did this past year.
Our play ground for the boys has
been divided-the larger boys play
on one side and the smaller ones on
the other.
We have regular military drill ev-
cry Friday afternoon. But sometimes
the boys are drilled" at other times
when they don't do right. This is
not interesting to the boys.
The Parent Teachers Association
has been great benefit to our school
by helping to beautify the building
and its grounds.
Mrs. Walter Carlen is president of
the Parent Teachers Association.
She visited our school yesterday and
-.nnounced the first number of the
Lyceum Course. Mrs. Lucas being
the principle one who entertains this
time.
n"r Gibbs spent day or two
in Nashville this week.
Prof. CarliBle says he wants us
to get some new song books for chap
Ell. Every morning in chapel he
has interesting lessons to give us. He
Is now organizing Sunday school
Says he wants to see that
every girl and boy in school attends
Sunday school somewhere.
We all should be proud of the
chance to attend such school as
this. I think, there is nothing so
pleasant as school life where we spend
so many happy days. We might say
our school days are golden hours of
Joy" Our forefathers were not pro-
vided with such good schools, school
or teachers as we have, and
we should appreciate and take the |
advantage of these opportunities.
We enjoy our room of boys alone |
With Mrs. J. NJ. Hatfield as our effic-
ent teacher.
