RouT OF TURKS MIGHT
 RESTORE BRITISH PRESTIGE
In the Middle West, Where It Has
 Been Weak Eos Two Years.

London. March 1.-The rout of the Turkh on the Tigris river north of Kut-el-Amara is expected by English military authorities to do much to re- store British prestige in the middle west. where 1t had suffered in the first two years of the war. In his weekly talk reviewing recent war op- erations, Major General Frederick B. Maurice chief director of military op- erations at the war office, expressed to The Associated Press great satis- faction regarding the recent British successes over the Turks.
 "k Is undeniabIeL' he said, "that our prestige suffered much from the Dardanelles operations. from the fact that we were on the defensive for a. long time in Egypt and because of our retreat from Bagdad. 4s This condition now Is completely changed. The Turk lsh forces have been driven entirely from Egyptian territory and the de- cisive defeat with which they met at Kut-eI-Amara completes our ascen- dancy." - .~t. ~...l =

HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy


 Whatever the cause, we want to say to every person who needs strength, you need Vfno1 as it is the most eff cient strength creator we have in our store Here is proof from Dorchester, MaSS.:-
 q don't know what we would do without Vinol in our family. I was weak, nervous and run down as the result of an operation, and Vino1 re- stored my strength Then grandmother had a nervous breakdown, and Vinol built her up and restored her health and strength after everything else had failed. We have used Vinol for 13 years in our family, and would not be without 1t in the house." Myrtle l.. Healy,, Dorchester, Mass.
 We believe in Vinol because we know it is a great strength creator due to the beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates, all dissolved in a pure medicinal wine so we always return the purchase money if Vinol fails to benefit those who buy it.
 Broadway Pharmacy, G G. Engler. Proprietor, Norwich. Vinol is sold in Willimantic by the Wilson Drug Co.. fin Danielson by the A. W. Williams Pharmacy. and in Putnam by J. F.. Donahue. Also at the leading 0rug stores in all Connecticut towns.

PLAINFIELD
Peter SenecaI, 12, Catches Foot in Switch and is Run Over by Locomo- tive-Foot Amputated at Backus Hospital.

Peter Senecal, the 12-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. B. SenecaI of~Lawton Heights. had his foot horribly crushed Thursday morning when a locomotive switching cars in the local yard roll ed over the foot which was caught in the switch opposite the freighthouse. The boy was picked up and carried to the omce of Dr. Arthur A. Chase, ter he was taken to the Backus hospi- putated.
 The senecal boy. along with many the morning session at Plainfeld Grammar school and was obliged to cross the railroad tracks.
 When they arrived at the Railroad avenue crossing. 1t was blocked by three freight cars on the middle tracks while an engine was switching on No. track.
 Most of the boys started down the south side of the tracks to circle the standing freight cars but were halted by F1agman Dawley. The Senecal boy. alone, ran to the north, to cross the tracks. and his foot became wedg- ed In the switch at the same time that the engine was coming north. No one, 1t is claimed, saw the boy in his distress, and the boy, after fruitless attempts to extract his foot from the the track while the engine thundered over the foot. Neither the engineer nor the fireman was aware of the ac- cident until signalled to stop by the crossing tender
 After being run over the boy drag ged himself from the track and lay in a pitiful condition. F1agman Daw- ley ran to him and assistance was rendered, the boy being hurried to the doctors office in an automobile.
 The Railroad avenue crossing, where the accident occurred. is a grade crossing and has long been a menace to the safety of the lives and limbs of school children who live on Lawton Heights and in the western part of the village and must cross the tracks going to and coming from school. The crossing is guarded by a fiagman from 2 a. m. to D. m-, but this does not assure safety to children who, when in a crowd. do not always obey his com mand but rush across the tracks.
 P1ainf1eld men have long desired to have the crossing abolished because of the danger of the location.

VETERANS ENJOY
 SHOW AT BUOU
Gray and Blue-COated He roes Guests of Manage
 ment of Loew's BijOu

Local veterans of the Civil war. both Confederate and Federal. were given a genuine treat yesterday, when. as guests of the management, they attended the afternoon performance at Loew's Bijou. Birmingham's latest and most up-to-date theatre. The feature of the performance was the "Old Soldier Fidders." a unique act that it is doubtful could be dupli- cated. It consists of four young old" men, genuine veterans of the Civil war; two who fought for the union, and two who fought for the Confectionery, who fiddle and dance and sing in a manner that brings home vividly the days of the Sos
 Many of the veterans present yesterday were in uniform and as the well remem- bered war tunes were played gave vent to their feelings by union cheers and Con- federate yells. The leader of the old fid- dlers, Colonel Pattee, a veteran artillery man, whose war record shows honorable and distinguished service, ''jollied' the boys of the blue and the gray by telling war stories in a reminiscent vein. The gallant old quartet came across with war time melodies and soul-stirring airs that reused the old veterans to the highest pitch of enthusiasm.
 At the close of the performance Dr. J. A. Barclay and a number of Confederate veterans, and Dr. A. M. Ballard and his federal comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, went behind the scenes where Colonel Pattee and his associa tes held an informal reception and heartfelt greetings were exchanged between the men who had fought on opposite sides. The old veterans expressed their deep appreciation of the courtesies extended by the management of the theatre. The performance yesterday was really better than at the opening and besides
