GERMANS DFPORT GIRLS FOR
HEAVY WORK IN WAR ZONE

Another letter which got through to
Epinal, deals more at length with the
manner in which the Germans are prae
tically enslaying the girls and women
of Alsaee-L Lorraine This letter reads:
fgn Alsace, the Boches have inaug-
urated the deportation Of numerous
women and young girls into the milf
tary zone on the French front where
they are forced to work. The newspa-
pers do not speak about this but mere
iy reprint the response given by the
German government to Deputy Hauss.
The government stated that in tha
female personnel there are only 8 per
cent of the young girls who are under
II years of age. Among these there
some who volunteered. (Quite natural
ly, because many factories are closed,
and in order not TO starve to death
one is forced to accept what ever pre-
sents itself, to say nothing of the other
means of persuasion that the BOehes
have at their disposal)
"The government. continued its re
ply by saying that all young girls un-
der II are now to be sent back to their
families; first those that are now
working against their Will, and later
all the rest, as fast as circumstances

Amsterdam, April 15.--Count Ger

ter has resigned, an agency dispatch
from Vienna declared todady. Emper-
or Kari is said to have accepted the
resignation.
The foreign minister win continue in
office until his successor has been ap-

Czernin has been in disfavor with
the militarists of beth Austria and
Germany for some time owing to his
alleged inclinations toward peace.
The report Of Count Czernin s resig-
nation may be due to several causes.
1t is possible the German militarists
have demanded his retirement because
of his moderate views as to peace. 1t
is also possible Count Czernin is be-

port of his downfall may have result
ed from German objections to Count
Czernins efforts to engage in an indi-

Count Czernin's retirement is permA-

Washington, April 15.-Count CzeF-

Tho Austrian peace trickery ami the

peace moves, as exposed in recent days
probably had much to do with his re-
tirement.
Whether Czernin was sincere OF not
it was apparent that he was striving
to get a peace for Austria before it
was too late Then suddenly, apparent
ly at German militarist dictation, he
ignored President Wilson and began
imposing hurdensome conditions on
Rumania. His whole change Of front in

MONTH DELAY IN
MILK ADVANCE
Rains Improve Pasturage Conditions so
Producers Will Wait Until Nov. l
Cent More Then.

Owing to the heavy rains the past
two weeks. which has improved pastur-
age conditions, also the fact that many
cows are now being turned into NOW
ings, the milk producers who furnish
milk to Brattleboro have decided to
postpone the raise of one cent quart.
Instead of making the increase Oct. l
they announce that they will wait until
Nov !, when il will be necessary to
take the cows up and feed more grain.
The wholesale price then will be cents
quart.
In view of this increase the re-
tailers will have 10 make an increase,
and in view of constantly increasing
expenses they are considering plan
to advance an additional cent quart
over and above the increase charged
BY the producers, which would make a
two cent retail advance.

VERDICT 1852 IN
LAVELLE LAWSUIT
Verdict for Plaintiff Announced Late
Last Night-Notice of Appeal to
Supreme Court Given.

<<ooS ASA6hs AsObASS Va <APPSot w
Supreme Court Given.
Between 10 and II o'clock last night |
the Jury in the case of the Peter B. La
velle estate of Brattleboro against the
Central Vermont Railway Co. returned a
verdict for the plaintiff to recover 81 ,562.
This case had been on trial all the week.
Attorney Herbert e. Barber made the
opening argument for the plaintiff yester
day forenoon and Attorney John w. Red
mond of Newport made the argument for
the railroad, speaking two hours, partly
in the forenoon and partly in the after
noon Attorney Charles Black of st. Al
bans, who helped try the case, left Thurs
day so there was but one argument for
the railroad. Attorney Frank E. Barber
closed for the plaintiff and Judge F. NJ.
Butler then delivered the charge to the
jury, finishing about A O'Clock.
Mr. Lavelle who was employed by the
Boston & Maine railroad "a years, was
run over on the Central Vermont COM
.mercial track in the local yard while
working under car as inspector and was
fatally injured. He was under Boston
& Maine car which was shunted along by
a Central Vermont switch engine and
crew. Suit was brought for $4,000
against the Boston & Maine and Central
Vermont roads, but later the case was
discontinued as to the Boston & Maine.
The Boston & Maine blue flag rule
requires that whenever a repair man or
inspector is at work under car he shall
display blue flag, which was not done
in this case. The defense claimed that
Mr.. Lavelle, who was Boston & Maine
employe, was bound TO obey the Boston
& Maine rule and display the flag, but the
plaintiffs answer to that WAS that the
Central Vermont company had not adopt
ed the Boston & Maine rule and that Mr.
Lavelle was not holden to obey it, that
moreover under the system which had
grown up in the yard whenever an engine
came on to this commercial track it was
always the custom to send yard con-
ductor or brakeman ahead to give notice
to anyone who might be working about
the cars, that Mr.. Lavele knew of this
| custom and had a right to rely upon it.
The defense gave notice of an appeal
TO the supreme court. At the April term
the jury disagreed.
