Comfortable with Prospects of
Good Recovery.

scarlet fever and complications, is that

Senator Eddy's mother, Mrs. f. A.
Eddy of Stratton, and his sister, Miss

to 60 to Montpelier today, but his con-
dition seemed so favorable that they
decided not to go. DR.. A. /. Miller re-
turned from there this morning.
Senator Eddy is in the Pavilion
hotel. Representative George L. Dun
ham of Brattleboro volunteered the use
of his suite at the hotel and Senator
Eddy was moved there from the room

erably short and a third which struck

Woman of Interesting Personality
Known Throughout This Locality
Funeral This Afternoon.

Miss Augusta L. Pierce, Sc, life
long resident of Chesterfield, n. H.,
and well known in all this locality,
died Friday after an illness of two
wears. During most of her illness she
was confined to her bed. Her home
was the well known stone house at the
four corners near Spofford lake, and
it was filled with articles Of antiquity,
including a canopy bed once occupied
by President Franklin Pierce, and a
great variety of ether interesting rel
les. The house formerly was used as
tavern, and the old bar and dance
hall still remain. Miss Pierce possessed
an interesting personality and she took
great pains to keep the old residence
in its original condition as nearly as
possible.
Miss Pierce was the last survivor of
10 children of Porter Pierce, one of
the early residents of Chesterfield. A
brother, Benjamin F. Pierce, died in
May, 1913, at the age of nearly 50
| years.
The funeral of Miss Pierce was held
at the house at o clock today.

HUNGER STALKS IN GREECE.
Assertion That Poor On Coast Are Ex-
listing on Grass and Herbs.

WASHINGTON. 4b 19-The Greek
legation in a statement issued yester-
day saws famine is resulting from the
entente blockade Of the coast of Greece
and the poor classes are living on herbs
and grass 1t is also declared that de-
spite compliance with the ultimatum Of
the allies there has been no relaxation
of bloc kade measures. The statement
follows:
1.-The Greek legation has received in
formation to the effect that the results
of the blockade of the Greek coasts
enforced by the entente allies since
December are of the most grewsome
character.
'.Ten deaths from starvation have
been reported from the province OF
Jannina, one at Laurium, 10 in Acar-
mania, two in the province of Preveza
one in Fubia and one IN Messina. The
poor classes have begun to live on
herbs and grass The epidemics of en-
teritis and dysentery are rapidly
spreading in the country.
!" Notwithstanding the complete ex
ccution of the allies ultimatum, no re
! taxation of the blockade has beer
brought about. Numbers of fishing
boats constantly are sunk or seques
tered by the ships enforcing the block
ade. Coasting trade between ports O
I the kingdom is completely prohibited. :

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

The activity in various war theatres
in the bulletins of the war of
fee during the last few days has sub
sided temporarily. None of the official
statements today indicates any really
severe fighting during the past "a
hours. The operations along the fronts
have been confined to accommodating,
artillery and aviation activities.
The Paris statement contains one item
possibly forecasting a renewal of oper-
ations by the Zeppclins with the COM
ing Of more favorable weather One
Of the big airships flew over the French
coast on Saturday night proceeding
as far as Boulogne near the entrance
to the English channel. The bombs
which it dropped did no damage, the
French report declares.

LAW s CREW AT ROME.
Left Schooner With Smile While Ger
mans Smiled Too, Says Skipper

ROME. Feb. l9.-Capt McDonough
and the crew of the American steamer
Lyman NJ. Law, recently sunk b.
German submarine, arrived here Friday
evening with Roger Tredwell, United
states consul at Turin, and were IN
terrogated at the American embassy.
Capt McDonough repeated his story OF
the sinking of the schooner, adding that
the vessel had a large supply OF canned
goods, especially meat, chic kens and
vegetables, which doubtless attracted
the officers and crew of the submarine
in their search for food.
Capt. MeDonough described the sub
marine crew as being composed Of
''about 80 men-all big blond, husky
fellows. Describing the approach OF
the submarine, the master Of the Amer.
lean schooner said: "lf my ship had
been armed with five-pounder | could
have destroyed the submarine as easily
as buttering a piece of bread. Neither
myself nor my men lowered our dlgnit. :,
by showing any resentment. | dldn
ask them TO spare the ship, and left
her smilingly while the Germans alsC
smiled.
| Among the crew Of the Lyman NJ
Law is Engineer Lee Thompson OF Bel
fast, Me-, who worked for a time con
structing submarines at Fore River
He took a second look at the capto
ship and said she was about l20 fee
long and of a distinct German type
The submarine bore no name, number
or letters. McDonough and his crev
soon will be sent to the United States
Thomas Nelson Page, the America
ambassador, listened to their stor
with great interest and has sent re
port on the sinking of the America
vessel to the state department at Wash
ington.
