TRAIN SERVICE
IS IMPROVING
Reading Reports Larger Move
ment; Cumberland Val
ley Lines Open

Officials of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company announc-
ed greatly improved conditions to-
day on all lines. 1t will be several
days before schedules are back to
normal. The Reading is still up
against shortage of motive power.
Efforts are being made to concen-
trate engines at points where most
needed.
on the Cumberland Valley lines
all tracks were cleared except those
of the Dillsburg branch. This line
was expected to be open before night.
All trains were running. some still
late. Working forces will be kept
busy on the tracks and with milder
temperature to-day and tomorrow
officials hope to have the entire sys-
tenn in good shape.
Pennsy Lines Improve
On the Pennsy lines conditions are
improving slowly. While the main
line is still open, delays were re-
ported as a result of engine trouble.
Train No. %, due here at $50 a. m,
reached the city about II o'clock.
The engine hauling the train broke
down at Bailey's Station.
One train south, No. 576. was am
nulled. Travel between Harrisburg
and Baltimore was in fair condition.
Through connections from Buffalo to
Washington, it was reported, We're
an uncertainty. Travel to and from
the north was fairly good.
From the west trains are still
back. but picking up schedules slow
ly. Freight was moving better to-
day.
To-day's traffic on all lines was
principally coal. Short trains are
still in order. Pennsy officials are
of the opinion that better time is
made with from twenty to thirty-car
trains

Teutons Bar Captives
Released by Russians

Petrograd. Feb. 4 delayed. The
Germans and Austrians have estab-
lished quasi quarantine conditions
along the Russian front, and ,nemy
prisoners are now finding it d ificult
to cross the trenches unless there is
a reasonable certainty that they are
not infected with revolutionary
tents. Incidentally, the escaping and
released prisoners turned back by
their compatriots naturally drift to
the Petrograd district. where they are
now said to number 10000.
The enemy's measures to isolate
himself and not allow news of in
ternal disturbances to leak out have
included the breaking off of direct
telegraph communication between
Brest-Litovsk and Petrograd. with
the result that nothing has been
heard of the Trotzky delegation for
the last three days, which is ample
time to allow the invention of the
rumor now actively circulating that
separate peace has already been
signed.

SnOwplow Gets Lost in
Snowdrift on Reading

one of the greatest tasks reported
by Reading track forces was the open
ing of the Schuylkill and Susquehanna
Division, between Dauphin and Au-
burn. Large forces of men have been
busy since Monday. 1t is expected that
trains will be running regularly by
tomorrow. Officials are anxious to
have this line clear, as it may become
an important branch when the spring
freight rush is on, and it is necessary
to divert certain traffic to save time
Snow plows were sent out from the
Auburn terminal, and the men found
ii hard work digging tracks out OF
snowdrifts and opening up sidings.
One of the snow plows got lost in a
big drift west of Pinegrove The crew
lost communication with headquarters
and for several hours it was feared
the workmen had met with an acct
dent. Later in the day word was re-
ceived at Auburn that the plow had
been recovered and work resumed.

Washington. Feb. 81. - 1t was an
nounced at Washington on January
"a, by Secretary of War Baker, that
the War Department had information
of German plans for carrying on a
mere intense submarine warfare
against American transports. In his
official resume for last week Secre-
tary Baker said:
During the last fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to
home ports to be refitted, and the
most powerful submarine offensive
hitherto undertaken may be expected
to be launched against our lines of
communication with France, to inter
rupt the steady flow of men and mu-
nitions for our own armies and food
supplies for the Allies.
During the period under review
renewed activity along the entire
western front is noted. The region
again become the scene of severe
fighting"
