Rutland. Jan. 6.-The Rutland railroad
southbound evening passenger train was
derailed Friday evening between South
Wallingford and Dandy. Nearly the en-
tire equipment left the iron. but the cars
remained right side up and no one was
injured. Trafnc was accommodated by
sending the New York sleepers, in both
directions. out of this city over the Della
ware q Hudson railroad. A wrecking
crew was sent to the scene of the wreck
from this city and not until about noon
Saturday was the line open.
The accident. which happened on a
straight piece Of track near small
embankment. was due to the breaking of
. rail. the long continued extreme cold
probably having had some effect on the
metal. The locomotive stayed on the
track. but the baggage car. milk car,
combination coach and passenger car left
the rails. The milk car went clear of the
roadbsd and was somswhat damaged.

ALLIED NATIONS
FACE FOOD CRISIS
Gravest Situation In England,
France and Italy since
War Began.
PINCH WORST IN ITALY.
Seven-Ounce Daily Bread Ration In
rrnuce-Compulsory RatioAing Be
gins i'm England Soon.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The food situation
in the allied countries of Europe is graver
than it has been at any time since the
beginning Of the war and Is giving Ameri-
can government officials deep concern.
Official reports picture extreme food
shortages in England, France and Italy.
The fact that conditions in Germany
and Austria are far worse offers the only
grounds for optimism in viewing the situa-
ton.
In England and France the situation is
described as critical in a cablegram to the
food administration to-day from Lord
Rhondda, the British food controller,
which concluded with these words:
II view the situation with grave
anxiety"
Yesterday a cablegram from the French
government said that the wheat crop
had been requisitioned and that the bread
ration would be cut to allow only seven
ounces of bread daily to all persons
except the very poor and those doing
hard manual labor. In Italy conditions
are not as good perhaps as In either
England or France.
Compulsory rationing will be started
in England Immediately with meats the
first commodity to be put under control.
VI UuttcT dIlO BdIlHc Will
be taken in hand next and other foods
will be added as they become scarcer.
All Of the principal foodstuffs will be
rationed by April.
Il have repeatedly said in public
private that there is no reason for i'm
mediate alarm although there is every
reason for strict economy and pecu-
mary measures" said Lord Rhondda' s
message. These statements in some in
stances have been twisted into a dec
laration there is plenty of food in Eng
land and France.
The food position in this country
and I understand in France also can
without exaggeration be described as
critical and anxious. AS I am now un-
able to avoid compulsory rationing ]
fear it will have to come with long
queues of people awaiting in the Sc.
we're weather in practically every town
in England for the daily necessaries
Of life"
Compulsory control of foodstuffs In
England. France and Italy was insisted
on by the American delegates to the
Paris conference and was promised al
that time.
