Hugh Butler, 26, a carpenter. was
brought to the Melrose hospital from Put
ney this afternoon with a fractured

IS slowly returning TO complete conscious
ness following severe injuries to his head
and larynx. Both We're injured in a coast

evening Ten others on the traverse were
not seriously injured.
The big traverse, steered by Butler, who
is son Of William Butler Of Brattleboro,
and loaded to its capacity with young peo-
pie, rushed down the hill and smashed
head-on into an automobile owned and
operated by Dwight Smith, 28, of Putney,
a son of II G. Smith of Brattleboro.
Smith had bought the machine recently
and was learning to operate it 1t Is said
that he was on the wrong side of the road

Arthur c. Carter and Mrs f. c. Earring
ton of Brattleboro, was coasting on hex
ible flyer behind the traverse, holding t,
the heavy apparatus with one hand. Whel
the collision occurred he was jammet
against the rear of the traverse with tn
consequent injuries to his throat and head
The collision took place almost in from

making his home.
The hill has been used each day an
evening for coasting whenever condition
permitted and this is the first accident {
= a serious character that has happene
there.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Field Marshal Mackensen' s drive against
Sereth line in southern Modavia continues
to gain ground and the Teutonic thrust
against the Moldavian frontier mountains
in the thanking operations now under way
IS showing progress.
Pushing northward from Fokshani, the
fortress position captured yesterday, Won
Mackensens troops have driven the Rus
SLAMS across the Putna and are now ham
mering at a new position the Russians
have taken up there.
Further southeast, toward the Danube,
the Russians are now beginning TO yield
again.
In the Molddvian mountains the pro-
gress is necessarily slow because OF the
rugged terrain and the strong defense
offered by the Russians The German re-
port, however, declares that many gains
are being scored and maintained, despite
all difficulties The total OF prisoners
taken by the Teutonic armies in the opera
tions Of yesterday and the previous day is
now reported by Berlin as approximately
/ ) 500, together with three cannon and Il
machine guns.
! While the Russians are continuing then
offensive in the region between Dvinsk ans
Riga along the northern end OF the line
in Russia they are meeting with no further
successes in the vicinity OF the river IA
where their recent gains We're scored, ac
cording To Berlin.
