AUSTRIA TRYING
TO AVOID BREAK,
VIEW IN vienna
Prepared to Make Any Sac
rifice to Keep Peace With
United States

Berhe, Switzerland, March 2-The
recent reports that the Austro-Hun-
garian government has determined to
make every effort to maintain diplo-
matte relations, with the United States
is corroborated by Information reach
ing here from Vienna. The impress
sion prevails that Austria-Hungary
intends to make every sacrifice that
it regards as reasonable to avoid a
rupture, although such action appar-
emily would mean flying in the face of
Germany.
An American in close touch with
Austrian diplomatic affairs who ar
rived in Berne today said that among
those who expect Austria to attempt
to plaeate American opinion was di-
vided as to the causes underlying the
divergence from the policy of Ger
many. One group, he said, believed
Germany was acquiescing for the pur-
pose of preserving unbroken and in
direct bond between herself and the
United States, while the other group
was convinced that Austria was as
serting independence of Germanl.
That the American embassy at
Vienna is not expecting an immediate
break is, perhaps, indicated by the
action of Joseph G. Grew, counsellor
of the embassy, who today telegraph
ed to Mrs. Grew to go to Vienna. She
will depart tomorrow.

(SpeciaI to The Farmerl

Stratford, March 2-Winton Bud
dington, seven years old, son of Mr..
and Mrs Percy Buddington of STRAIT
ford, is in a critical condition at the
Bridgeport hospital, as a result of an
accident around which considerable
mystery has developed.
Young Buddington was found lying
in the roadway in front of Joseph Mo-
tirs hotel, Paradise Green, shortly af-
ter noon yesterday. A trolley car in
charge Of Motorman Pwetz and Con-
ductor Kulberg came near running
over the body of the boy. Stopping
their car a short distance from the
lad, the crew picked him up and took
him. in the car to the Office of DR..
DeRuyter Howland in the Center. DR..
Howland gave him treatment and had
him removed at once to the Bridge
port hospital
1t was at first feared he had ? a
fractured skull, but it was said today
at the hospital that although the head
was severely bruised and battered,
the skull was not broken. The boy
is suffering from severe bruises and
shock.
1t was thought that young Budding
ton had fallen off a trolley car, but

pany to learn from the passengers If

WAR. WILL LAST
ANOTHER WINTER,
MAURICE AYERS
English Director Of Military
Operations Reviews STRAIT
egy Of Civil War

London, March 2.-The war may
easily extend over another winter as'
far as purely military factors are con-
cerned, according to a statement by
Gen. Frederick B. Maurice, director OF
military operations for the imperial
general staff, in an interview given to
The Associated Press.
In the opinion of Gen. Maurice, there
is little difference between the STRAIT
egy followed by the commanders In
the American Civil war and the STRAIT
egy which governs the great struggle
of today.
"Strategy as immutable as tlme,' Ne
said, lis dominating this war as 1t mas
dominated all other conflicts The
world has long recognized Robert E.
Lee as a great general and In my
opinion he was one Of the dozen great
commanders of history, a place which
is enhanced rather than dimmed by
his participation in lost cause, as
success gains it's own recognition. The
strategy Of which Gen. Lee was p
master does not change with time and
in the year 2O01 military leaders will
be acting on the principles Of Napo-
leon and Lee.
''The men over in the trenches, see
ing only a brief and intimate part OF
the actual operations, are inclined to
assert that the major principles OF
warfare have changed, but this is true
Of only tactics, which, according to
Napoleon, changes every 10 years,
period which had he been alive today
he probably would have reduced to
five. This is due to the increase in
inventive power over the time when
Napoleon fought.
In the tactics Of this war are seen
three tremendous innovations which
probably can be placed in the follow
ing order: First, airships; second,
improved heavy artillery with highly
explosive shells; third, machine guns
In strategy the immutable problems
of time and space still prevail and
were Napoleon or Lee alive today the
genius which made them great would
find an outlet.
I'm a paragraph the difference be-
tween strategy and tactics may be
explained to lay readers as follows:
Strategy consists of plans for the man
oeuvres of armies seeking a definite
results, while tactics are the opera
tions when the forces are in actual
contact. The victory of the Marine
was the result Of high strategy, as
was the German sweep through Bel
gium and the encircling movement
about Paris

LOCAL POLICE TO.
RENEW SEARCH
FOR GRUGER GIRL.
New York Detective Bureau
Wants Bridgeport Clue
Followed

Inspector Joseph A. Faurot, head
of the New York city detective bureau,
has appealed to Capt. E. O. Cronan,
to make a thorough search of Bridge
port for Ruth Cruger, the 18-year-old
high school girl, whose mysterious
disappearance has baffled the police
of the country.
Having exhausted every clue of
any promise in New York, Faurot
now believes that the young woman,
who on Saturday, Feb. 10, went to
the home of Mrs. M. M. Backmann,
234 Brooks street, may be the missing
girl.
Mrs. Bachmann, who had read of
the case in the newspapers and noted
pictures of Miss Cruger, says she is
positive in her identification. The
girl disappeared Tuesday, Feb. IA.
The following Saturday girl who
Mrs. Bachmann believes is Miss Crug-
er visited her home.
She Immediately noticed the re-
semblance and was struck by the
police, that the "gir1 was not a shop
girl or store girl and did not work for
a living
inspector FauTOI IldS llIluldCou "
Capt. E. o. Cronan that the Bach
mann clue is the most promising now
in possession of the police and he
will send several detectives from his
bureau to this city to assist in the in
vestigation.
The full description of Ruth Cru
ger as furnished today for the first
time by the New York police in
Bridgeport, shows that she is Is years
of age, five feet six inches in height,
weighing about $50 pounds. She has
brown hair and eyes. One eye tooth
is missing from her mouth.
When last seen she was attired in
white waist, blue skirt, long brown
velour coat. Her head was adorned
with a black velvet sailor hat en-
broidered with ornaments. She wore
on her finger Wadleigh high school
ring and on her wrist was lax open
face wrist watch with leather strop,
monogramed "R. c." The movement
, was Swiss, numbered 193409 with the
name 'Linheer', on the inner case.

|YARR0WDALE PRISONERS,
AT COPENHAGEN, RELATE
NARROWING EXPERIENCES

Copenhagen, March 2, via London
-Four Americans from the steamer
Yarrowdale, who have been prisoners
in Germany for three months, arrived
here today. They are DR.. John Davis,
Columbus, Miss; Orville McKim, Wa
tertown, N. Y; DR.. H. D. Snyder,
Norfolk, Va; Richard Zabciskie,
Englewood, N J. The four men vir-
tually were destitute.
The men reached here with only
the clothes they stood in and, under
the custom of the sea, will be sup
ported by the British consul until it
is possible to send them home. They
owe their release before the remainder
of the ~ Americans who were on the
Yarrowdale to the fact that, as physi-
clans or veterinarians. they ranked as
officers and we're confined in the OFF,
GERS camp at Karlsruhe. The horse
tenders and sailors, who composed
the bulk of the American captives,
are still held in quarantine at the
prison camp for enlisted men at Dull
ken.
The four men left the camp at
Karlsruhe on Feb. 27 and Travelled di-
rect to Warnemunde, under escort,
where after being subjected to the
usual frontier search. they were put
aboard a Danish ferry and left to
shift for themselves. The Danish po-
lice took charge of them on their ar
rival in Denmark, provided them with
quarters for the night in a hotel and
gave them the first hearty meal they

many that the president probably

breaking off diplomatic relations and
that he certainly knew Of it when,

Germany plotted to incite Mexico and
Japan to war against the United

Officials confidently looked for ,ex-
pressions of friendship from both and

were hurried along for whatever may

After the naval bill has been dis
posed of the senate plans to take up

TAXI PASSENGER
MURDERS DRIVER
ON LONELY ROAD
New Britain Garage Owner
Is Shot and His Pockets
Are Rifled
DISCOVERED DEAD
AT WHEEL OF CAR
No Clue to Slayer, Though
Neighbor Reports Hear
ing Muffled Shot !

New Britain, Conn, March q
Charles A. Taft, a taxi driver living
No. II Pearl street, Hartford, was
murdered while driving a service car
toward Berlin, just over the city
line last night, the body being found
by milkman this morning, who in
ward bound, had noticed the stand
ing autom obile on the roadside.
n Taft's body was hanging over the
steering gear, his hands still holdint;
the Wheel and gaping bullet wound
in the back of his head indicating
that he had been shot by passenger
from inside the car. The engine had
not been shut off and had run until
fuel was exhausted.
Fred Carlson, the nilkman. though
the position Of the car was peculiar
as he passed it and stopped to look
1T over under the impression that it
had been abandoned. In front Of the
radiator were scattered papers and
other articles taken from Taft's pock-
cts. The police being notified, took
charge of the body and at oncessaw
that a watch and whatever money
had been in the pockets had been
taken The mot4ye. of robbery was
evident.
Ruth Alling, a nurse, who lives
near the locality, which is in Kens1ng-
Eton and just outside of New Britain s
city limits, said that about 9 o'clock
last night, upon noticing an automo-
bile passing, heard what she thought
was the &slamming of a door. She saw
no one alight AS the car door was
open the police believe that Miss ALL
ling heard the report of the gun in
the hand of the passenger.
Unguided by Taft, to whom death
had been instantaneous, the car had
swerved to the side of the road and
come to a standstill by reason of OBJ
struction. Medical Examiner Eliock
viewed the body and sent it to an un-
dertakef's. DR.. Philip D. Bunce,' ply
sician to the coroner, and Coroner j.
Gilbert Calhoun will come here from
Hartford later in the day to take up
the case.
Taft's car is owned by his brother
Albert, who lives in Hartford. Albert
Taft today said he saw Charles about
7 p. m. last night on Main street,
Hartford, where he was waiting for a
fare, He knew of no troubles that
Charles had been in and did not be-
lieve he had an enemy. Charles, he
said, was accustomed to carry a roll
of. bills. Believing that robbery was
the motive for the shooting, Albert
Taft said that it probably was done
by some one who knew that Charles
carried money with him.
