Courtiertook his defeat gam,ly,

not get down.-If he had been

LAND TRANSFERS
ON CARD INDEX
Town Clerk Has Listed All Titles
Covering Past 25 Years-Work of
Searching Is Simplifed.

card index of all land transfers
in Brattleboro the last % years has
been completed in the office of the
town clerk. The cards of the index
are of several different colors, indicat
ing different forms of transfers Each
transfer is listed under the names of
the two or more parties concerned, so
that it is possible to turn to the name
of any individual and find cards cover
ing every real estate deal which has
been recorded that he has had part in.
This work cost the town up to
March l, 1915, $100.54 and has greatly
simplifed the work of searching for
titles, for each card bears the refer
ence to the book and page in which
the transfer was recorded. The re-
cording Of new deeds adds nothing to
the cost of the index, but when the
town is willing to provide further
funds the indexing will be carried
| back farther than 25 years.

GERMAN FLEET is
READY FOR TEST
Reports from Several Sources Indicate
That Dash from Kiel Will
Be Made Soon.

LONDON, Feb. 9. - Rumors that the
German fleet is preparing for its long
expected dash into North sea reached
here yesterday from Dutch sources, and
aroused high hopes in London that a
great naval battle is imminent in the
North sea.
Dispatches from The Hague reported
that German marines along the Belgian
coast are being withdrawn and sent to
Kiel. All leaves of absences of Ger
man naval officers have been cancelled,
the dispatches added.
From Copenhagen came reports Of
sudden activity at Kiel and of rumors
reaching Danish frontier towns that the
German Taubes have reinforced the air
flotilla at the German naval base. The
supposition is that they are to accom-
pany the fleet in its sortie from behind
the protecting guns and mine fields of
Hehgoland.
Vague rumors that the Teuton naval
officers We're about to attempt a start
ling coup poured into London, even
before the exploits of the German com
merce raider that captured the Appam
became known. Since the Appam
reached Norfolk several Berlin de-
! spatchos have carried similar hints.
| \ recent report was that the Ger
mans had equipped several new dread
noughts with 17-inch guns and had
armed Zeppelins with devices for shoot
/ ing torpedoes from the air, preparatory
/ to challenging the British navy for SUI
premacv in the North sea.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

The predicted German offensive on the
Franco Belgian front has not yet devel-
oped but reports Of preparation for it
persist The latest advices concerning
these supposed preparations came today
from Amsterdam in the shape of report
that 100000 men have been sent by the
Germans to the Belgian frontier

that there is no longer the former appar-
ent unanimity of opinion that the Teutonic
allies are shortly to begin an advance on
Saloniki.
1t is even declared in one unofficial quar-
ter that the entente allies are preparing to
take the offensive. The more definite
statement is made in Athens that the deci-
sion reached by the central powers is to
maintain their entrenched position at
present leaving Bulgaria on guard. the
Austrian troops for the most part being
employed elsewhere.
Constantinople advices report setbacks
for the Russians in their Caucasus cam
paign and in Persia Russian attacks have
been repulsed in the former field of opera
tions, where Erzerum has been the mair
Turkish base of defense, the Ottoman wal
office declares. In Persia tribesmen fight
ing against the Russian forces are unoffi
cially reported to have inflicted a sever,
defeat near Sandshulak.
Petrograd, while not reporting on tn,
Persian operations, declares engagement

Commissioner TitcOmb Says
Cold Brook Site May
Be Temporary
RIVER FLOODS A
SOURCE OF DANGER
Requisites Of Field Station Outlined
Commissioner Would Be Pleased to
Hear from ANY in This County
Who Can Meet Requirements.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
-. W. Titcomb is still on the lookout
for Windham county site suitable
for the establishment of a permanent
field station for trout rearing. While
he is planning 10 build a small STA
tion on Cold brook in Vernon this
spring he does not feel that this site
Is suitable for a permanent plant, on
account of the likelihood of its being
overfowed when the Connecticut river
is at food height
That the people Of this county NAV
know the requisites for 2 field station
Mr.. Titcomb has outlined his views On
the subject as follows: Suitable water
Of sufficient volume Is the first thing
to be considered, and all other factors
are subordinate to this. The water at
the source Of supply should never
reach temperature higher than go
degrees, even at times of drouth and
extremely warm weather The mini
mum winter temperature should not
be lower than 33 degrees, and win
ter temperature of from 80 to IS de-
gTees Is preferable For Matching fish
/ eggs the water should be free from
sediment. although for rearing Young
f fish after thev have reached the feed
ing stage roll in the water resulting
+ from occasional storms Is not oblec-
tionahle. For Matching purposes a
/ volume of not less than 200 gallons a
minute is required, while for rearing
fry TO fngerlings not less than 500
gallons a minute is needed.
There should be q fall Of not less
than five feet between the water level
at the source Of supply and the
ground level Of the site where the
hatchery is 10 be located. For econ
omv of construction il is usually pref
cradle TO locate the plant near the
course OF the water supply. While
springs of the necessary volume are
difficult TO fId it is not impossible
that trout stream whose source is
springs may meet the requirements.
Second only to the quality and quan-
tity of water is the accessibility of
the site TO 2 railroad station, prefer
ably where express trains stop
Commissioner Titcomb saws if il is
impossible to find a Windham county
site with these requisites on main
line of railroad the natural alterna-
tive would be a site in the West river
Z valley or at some point on main
line in an adjoining county. He
would he glad to hear from anyone in
. this county in regard 10 suitable To-
. cation for q permanent trout rearing
station His address is Lvndonville,
