AUSTRIA GROWS HUNGRIER.
American Tells What He Saw a
Vienna.

PARIS, July l0-The food shortage in
Austria is growing more acute, according
to Herbert Mayer of Chicago, secretary
of Charles J. Vopicka, American minister
to Rumania. Mr.. Mayer has just re
turned to Paris from Jassy by way OF
Austria and Switzerland. At Vienna
the train on which he travelled stopped
in the railroad yard. and a crowd Of hun
prv and ragged men and women employed
in the yard scrambled aboard and begged
for food All looked emaciated and un-
dcrfed When the passengers threw out
SCRAPS Of food the Austrians made a rush
and devoured it ravenously. They de-
clared that the government was giving
them only enough food to keep them
from actual starvation.
Mr.. Mayer and DIR. Breckenridge Baint
of Washington were the only Americans
among the l75 passengers from Rumana
A German major at one station told the
Americans that the Germans were nof
taking Americas entry into the war Sc
riously because they knew that not NOR
than 10000 American soldiers were il
France. The United States is not sulli
GENTLY interested in the war to send owe
a greater number" he said

1t is understood that dinner viii be
furnished by the farmer to all yolun-
teers who work during the day
Are there 100 men in Brattleboro
village who win give up next Sunday
to this important task? Who will be
the first to volunteer? The directors of
the board of trade are of the opinion
that the conditions under which we are
living and the urgency of the food prob
lens confronting the nation during the
war make it essential that haying and
other necessary farm work should be
done on Sundays when there is toe
much of it to. be done on weekdays
alone and when labor cannot be OBJ
tanned ON weekdays because of other
work that has to be done.
Any farmer who wants help next Sun
day should telephone at once to the
board of trade or the farm bureau, o.
apply by mail.

|GUILFORD ''BANDITS"
KNOWN TO SHERIFF
Latter Learns Names of Nine Guilford
Boys Involved in Alleged Hold
Ups-Had No Revolvers.

Sheriff Frank L. Wallman has made
an investigation of the attempted hold
ups on the Slate Rock road in Guilford
and has found that nine Guilford boys,
whose names he has learned, are in
yolved in these late night affairs. From
his investigation Mr.. Wellman is salts
fed that the boys have not been masked
and have not carried revolyers and that
reports to the contrary were the product
| of excited brains.
As stated yesterday automobile drivers
have been fooled on finding automobile
tires in the road only to have then
yanked down an embankment following
any effort to pick them up. The sheriff
| is satisfied that this is only prank no
intended to lead to serious results, ant
it is not expected that further holdup
will be attempted.

AT LEAST 100 DIE
IN RAILROAD WRECK
AS Many More Injured in Train Col
hsion Near Nashville-Most of
Victims Negroes.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 10.-At
least 100 persons, most of them Negroes,
were killed, and as many more injured,
a score seriously, in head-on collision
yesterday between two passenger trains
on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis railway, at Dutchman S bend, five
miles from this city.
Most of the killed and injured were
on a local train from Nashville, which
carried several coaches full of work
men going to q nearby powder plant.
The other train was an express from
Memphis and the West and after the
two engines had reared and fallen
of the express plowed through the bag
gage car on the accommodation train
and demolished two other coaches.
Many of the dead were killed al
most instantly, but others were pinned
| beneath the wreckage and could not bt
removed before they succumbed. Doc
| tors and nurses were rushed to tht
scene from Nashville and assisted in res
cuing injured as well as caring for them
The work of clearing away the wreckag
/ is proceeding slowly and it was believed
| last night that more dead bodies still
were buried in the debris. For that rea
son. the exact number of dead had no
been determined last night.
The injured, some of whom ar
thought to be fatally hurt, wer
brought to Nashville in ambulances an,
automobiles and are being cared for a
hospitals here. The dead were brough
to morgues in this city and relative
sought to identify the bodies, but i
some cases this was impossible.
As the crews of both locomotive
were killed the causes of the acciden
may never be established.

RUSSIAN PROBLEM
is VERY PUZZLING
Difficult to Come to Any Decision in
Regard to the Extension of
Military Aid

WASHINGTON, July l0.-The govern
ment regards the situation in Russia as so
rapidly and constantly changing as to make
1t impossible to come as yet to any decision
as to what military aid may be extended
by the United States. This was stated to-
day. All of the plans so far submitted
which involve military action, the United
States government feels also. involve at
the same time a weakening of the western
front. 1t is the decision of the government
that nothing must be permitted to de
tract from the military strength in Franc,
and Belgium The project for extending
economic aid, it is stated, is going forward
| favorably, while the situation surround
ing the question of military action con
tinues to be SO changeable, it is stated
