TROOPS IN FRANCE WORK
 WITHOUT OVERCOATS
This is Made Possible by Splendid Weather Pre- vailing in Region of
 Training Camp

With the American Army in France, January 26.-(By Associated Press.)-All traces of the recent heavy snow and ice have disappeared under the strong win ter sun, making conditions ideal for training purposes. The troops were all working today without overcoats, the grenade throwers and artillerist . even stripping down to their khaki shirts Hardly a cloud floated across the sky and there was little wind, making condi- tions favorable for airplanes.
 The airmen went up in considerable numbers in various sections and the ar tillerymen got in good practice, with the assistance of the observers in the planes. Machine gunners and various large units of former guardsmen took advantage of the weather and were out in numbers. The rattle of their weapons was audible nearly everywhere within the zone proper.
 All the American forces are hoping the spring like weather will last, but in view of the fact that February and March are considered the worst months in this sec tion. they are making the most of their present opportunities.
 Certain troops, whose duties have to do with camouflage have arrived safely and will have a stated period of instruc- ton under French experts in this art

EIGHT CIVILIANS !. KNOWN ID HAVE
 DIED IN EXPLOSION
Three Bombproofs at the Naval Torpedo Station at Newport Are
 Wrecked

Newport. R. l.. January 26.-Three bombproofs at the naval torpedo sta ton here were wrecked by an ex- ulosive of illuminate of mercury late today. At least eight civilian employees were killed and seven were injured one probably fatally. Ten otae's were buried in the ruins of the heavily con creted structures and little hope was expressed that any of them woIld be removed alive. Capt. Edwaed L. Beach, commandant of the station, said none of the survivors were able to give an account of what had happened, but there was no doubt, he asseiied, that the explosion was accidental.
 The explosion occurred in bomb rroof No. 2, used as a dryIEts room toe detonators after they have been filled with illuminate of mercury. The detonators are designed for setting off the high explosion in the torpedo heads.
 Only enough exploshive Is kept on hand to meet the demands for the day, and the shelters are builtf or the most part underground, to localize explosions.

TRANSFORMATION IN
 EAST AGAIN TIED UP
 BY SNOWSTORMS
Immediate Removal of the Freight Embargo Being Planned Now Made
 Impossible

Washington, January 26.-Just as rail- road administration officials. encour- aged by rising temperatures over most of the country, had begun today to dis cuss removal of the general freight em-
 bargo on three eastern trunk lines, re- ports reached them of new snowstorms with their trail of disastrous effects on
 rail transportation.
 It was the beginning of the third week of abnormally low temperature and heavy snows with which the railroads have struggled since their control by the gov ernment.
 The immediate result was the tempor- ary abandonment of hope of removing
 the embargo on some eastern trunk
 lines tomorrow or Monday, and the in timation that it might be necessary to
 extend it further.
 The New York Central, the principal
 trunk line between New York and Chi cago not covered by the eastern embargo, was sorelv hit by blzzards today, both
 about Chicago and sn northern New
 York state. Reports from A. Il. smith. regional director for the east. indicated only a sluggish freight movement over the main line Passenger trains were many hours late anu soihe "eio "ien drawn.
 About Chicago the reports said, from seven to 10 inches of snow had fallen
 and was being driven over tracks and trains by a high west wind More snow was forecast for most of the country eastward for tomorrow.
 In the face of discouraging weather reports coal was kept moving and neitn- CT the fuel nor railroad administrators had any reports indicating a more se- rious coal shortage than has preVaiieo for the past weeks The zone system of distributing coal has not vet been worked out fully, and probably will not be put into enect for another week. By that time OH cials look for cessation Of abnormal winter weather.

Big Vessel Loaded With
 Munitions Catches on Fire
 Just Before Sailing Hour

An Atlantic Port, January 2s--Loaded with war supplies for the Italian army, some of them highly inflammable, a 1c,000-ton American munition steamship making ready to sail, caught fire this afternoon while tied up at her pier.
 Among the cargo are several hundred barrels of glycerin and benzine, tons of tar paper, army blankets and other sup plies. The fire broke out forward among rolls of tar paper. Fire boats deluged the ship and more damage was done by water than by fire. The loss will be heavy. United States officers were to- night Investigating the origin of the blaze.

 MT. Musgrove is enthusiastic in be- lief that Alabama will not only ratify the amendment. but will elect amend ment candidates to office. He declares that previous defeats which he has sus- tained, notably the rejection of the amendment to the state constitution in 1909, and the defeat aof his protege, R. F. Hobson, in 8 struggle for the Sem ate, have no bearing on the present sit ua tiOn.

 MT Walker declares that in all prob- ability the anti-amendists of the state would center on onec andidate and put him in the office of governor. He be- lieves that the admendment will be the sole issue of the campaign and that candidates who have not taken positive stand wil be lost in thes huffle. It is his idea that Alabama is opposed to the adoption of the amendment, and will elect legislature charged with the duty of its rejection.
