ROOF COLLAPSEs
Weight of Snow Causes Lower Ends
of Rafters to Spread and Roof Falls
Flat-Trafic Continues.

Under the weight of the last fall of
snow the roof of the highway covered
bridge at the three bridges over
the mouth of West river collapsed this
forenoon, and notice was telenhoned
to the selectmen and Road Commission
er A. A. Wallace about II 0 clock
On account of the fact that the raft
ers were not securely nailed at the
bottom the lower fastenings gave way
and the roof fell down fiat on the
cross pieces over the driveway. At the
south end the gable fell down, but not
ernnoh to block the road.
The selectmen and commissioner, wit h
men and tools went to the bridge and
were much relieved to find that no
more serious damage was done. The
strength of the bridge was not in any
way affected but the roof probably
viii have to be taken apart and re
| built
The electric wires, which came down
rather low when the roof fell were
taken care of by the Twin State Ca
& Electric Co. Traffic was not inter

LETTER WRITTEN
BY BERNSTORFF

In Touch with Germans.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6-From its

nlcnt today published correspondence be
tween Count Won Bernstorf, former
German ambassador here, and the Berlin
foreign office, showing that Former Pre-.
mler Caillaux OF France was ID communi-

The first Bernstorff despatch contained
very damaging references to Calllaux's ref
erences to the French governmnt ana
warned German newspapers against prals-
ing him. Another gave notice of the ship
on which Caillaux was sailing from Ar
gcntina and planned its capture by sub
marines, because her captain carried lm-
pOrtant papers.
The German government was asked to
treat Caillaux with every courtesy and
consideration il the ship was taken.
The department also published Ger
| man censorship rule which forbade men
| ton of Caillaux's name in German news
| papers. The message sent by Bernstortf
says:
"Buenos Aires telegraphed the follow
