TRAIN SERVICE ON
WARTIME BASIS
Not Much Inconvenience Is
Felt-Newspapers
Very Late
SLOW PROGRESS ON
WEST RIVER LINE
Crew Opened Mile of Road with Pick
and Shovel Yesterday-Has Not Yet
Reached West Dummerston-Stor
Today Causes Apprehension.

Brattleboro had its first experience yes
terday with train service on wartime
schedule, and suffered no great inconven-
ience from the curtailment Most of the
trains were within l5 minutes to a half
an hour of their advertised running time,
although the last train south, due to
leave here at 500 p. M, did not pass
through Brattleboro until after Q o'clock
Thus far the 9.20 a. m. from the north
has failed to bring mail or newspapers
from the Rutland road, but whether the
trouble is due to a change in running
time on the Rutland road or simply
missed connections is not known at the
local ticket office, no new Rutland time
table having been received yet An extra
was run from Bellows Falls to Spring
field this morning to accommodate pas
sengers who had missed the regular
train. New York papers did not arrive
on the 9.29 from the south either yester-
day or this morning, and it was afternoon
before any were delivered locally.
Progress is being made in clearing the
West River division, but it is extremely
slow. Something over mile of track was
cleared yesterday, most of it with pick
and shovel, and the eXpeditionary force
hopes to reach West Dummerston station
by tonight. Local section crews are at
work in the vicinity of stations along the
line, and the crew which operates from
this end has been largely augmented dur
ing the past few days by employees of
local factories that were shut down
Congestion of sidetracks accounts
largely for the liability Of trains to main
tain schedules. Practically every siding
in the local yard is filled with cars and
an extra force of men is being employed
to remove the steadily accumulating snow
that so seriously interferes with the
movement OF freight
The snow storm which started this
forenoon, while not yet of large proper
tions, is coming from the north and
causes some apprehension among railroad
men.

munity.

MANY TEAM-LOADS
OF SNOW REMOVED
Commissioner Wallace Plows Street to
Facilitate Work-Unusual Condf-
tions Cause Large Expense

Since yesterday morning over 400 large
team loads of snow have been removed
from Main street between the plaza and
High street and there is still SO large an
accumulation that the surface of the
highway is well above the sidewalk level.
10 facilitate the work of removal the
street was plowed yesterday morning and
lnce then Commissioner Wallace has been
employing large force of men and teams.
1t Is his idea to remove enough snow so
that IN case of a thaw the sidewalks will
not be flooded. The selectmen figure that
by Feb !, when the new fiscal year begins,
the cost of removing snow for the year
Will have reached about SO 800, which is
$1,000 more than the usual estimate and

Austria.Hungary will continue to strive

20 the leaders OF discontented Austrian
workmcn who have quit work to demand
peace. By the Austrian premier En-
peror Charles, lac said, desired to end the
war at the earliest possible moment.
The labor leaders were told that re-
sponsibiity for the continuation OF the
war rests on the entente allies who had
refused Austra's offers Other ministers
promised electoral reform and a relaxa-
ton OF the rigid military law.
The labor leaders then called upon their
comrades 70 resume work. but the latest
information is that the general strike is
still in progress with disorders AT some
places.
Almost complete military inactivity
persists on the front in France and Italy.
On the Macedonian front Bulgarian
troops have attacked the French posi-
tions west Of the Nardar heavily. The
efforts came after violent artillery prep.
arations and the Bulgarians were able to
enter the French trenches at only one
point. from which they were thrown

for food conservation the food admin.

Yesterday was the banner day for
attendance at the Red Cross rooms,
there being III workers there inelud-
ing the morning, afternoon and evening
sessions. This is partly accounted for
by the closing of the stores, which gave
the clerks an opportunity to do their
bit, and possibly the thought came
home to many yesterday even more
forcefully than ever before that we are
at war with Germany. During the aft
ernoon 2,7S5 surgical dressings for the
