Washington, March 7-Ambassador
Francis reporting to the state depart

was temporarily quartered with the
Siamese and Brazilian diplomats in a
club house placed at their disposal by
the mayor of Vologda. He added that
few of the Red Cross and publicity

The state department was without
advices of the ambassadors intention

out that any move was dependent on
his own judgment, although it was
not expected that he would leave Rus

He was injured in an automobile
accident May %, 1915. He is suing
Hugh Keegan, driver of the machine
in which he was riding, and George
Burns, owner of the machine, which
collided with it, alleging negligence
upon the part of both.
The accident happened at Connecti-
cut and Central avenues. Others in
the machine with Hughes were
Thomas O'Brien and William F. Rus
sell, assessorp, and William G. Dow
ling, clerk of the board.
Hughes was thrown from the ma
chine, striking upon his head, was
unconscious for a time, and was con-
fined to the hospital for a considera-
BILE period. He alleges he suffered a
severe scalp wound, abrasions, and a
severe nervous shock, and that his
health has been impaired.
Among the counsel in the case
are Hon. David Fitzgerald. mayor of
New Haven, who appeared for George
Burns, one of the defendants; Judge
EImore S. Banks and W. A. Redden,
also for Burns; William W. Bent for
Keegan, and Judge William H. Com
ley, Jr., Tor Hughes.
Among the witnesses who are to
testify in the case is DIR. Diefendorf
of New Haven, an expert in nervous
diseases and a widely known alienist,
who appeared in the trial of Harry
Thaw.
Aubrey E. Fuller, a civil engineer
was the first witness and identified a
map of the location, and made meas
urements.
Frank J. Hughes, the plaintiff, then
told his story. He said on the morn.
ing of the accident, he with the others
mentioned, was riding south in Cen
trail avenue. Coming near Connect
cut avenue he saw a machine driver
by Burns approaching from the west
The collision followed Immediately
and he remembered nothing more un-
til later he recovered consciousness il
the hospital.
There was some difficulty in secur'
ing the jury, many objections being
made to the regular panel, and it was
necessary for the sheriff to bring il
| talesmen.
THE accident excited a great dea
of interest at the time it happened
owing to the prominence of the me1
concerned. Hughes had for man!
years been a member of the board O.
assessors. Keegan is well known il
real estate circles, and Burns is ;
member of The Burns Co., contract
| ors.
The unusual feature of the case i
including Keegan in the suit and al
1eging negligence on his part by ;
passenger in the automobile he wa
driving.
The defense is a denial of both de
PENDANTS of negligence, and the CLAIM
on the part of Keegan that the ma
chine was under the direction o
Hughes.

YANKEE COLONEL

party for the purpose of obtaining in
formation a few days before his men
took up their positions in the new
American sector on the Lorraine front
meta Prussian lieutenant in an enemy
trench and captured him. The colonel
with an American captain brought the
Prussian officer back to the lines that
the Americans now are occupying.
The German raid in this new sector
occurred on Monday night, a sharp
fight taking place in which the Ger
mans suffered a repulse with losses.
In it unit which was among the most
recent arrivals displayed the custom
ary American fighting energy and ap-
parently gave the enemy a much
warmer reception than he expected.
The American troops here are train
ing with French troops, as at the
Chemin des Danes position. This
makes the third American force now
facing the enemy.
During several days of the Ameri-
cans service here the casualties have
been extraordinarily slight, as the
eector is one of the quietest.
The lines are far apart and the posi-
ton is held by strong points rather
than by continuous trenches.
II The Prussian lieutenants capture
was the first instance of an enemy Of
ficer being taken prisoner by the

upon which an American officer had
captured either an enemy officer OF

CO.
May CHARGE WAR
TAX ON Sub RUNS

According to official advices receiv-
ed from New Haven, the Connecticut
Company has started collecting the
wa- tax of three cents on their inter-
burban trolley line between New Ha-
ven and Waterbury. When seen to-
day officials of the Bridgeport division
stated that they have received no or
ders affecting the lines out of this
city and knew nothing of the New
Haven and Waterbury rule other than
by hearsay.
From what can be learned locally
there is no immediate prospect of the
Connecticut Company collecting any
tax from passengers travelling to towns
surrounding Bridgeport, but if the
fare exceeds 35 cents there is a rea-
sonable chance of the tax being col
lected sometime in the future. When
this rule will go into effect officials
of the company did not know and up
to this time they have received no
notification regarding the matter from
any source.

AUST RIANS
LOOKING
TO u. S.
Deputies Condemn Policy Of
Rejecting Presidents
Proposals.

New York, March 7.-Presi-
dent Wilson's address to Con-
gress early in January, in which
he defined IA conditions for world
peace, has acted like a leaven in
the political life of Austria Hun
gary and the conditions are re-
verted to over and over again as
a possible or concrete basis for
negotiations, as appears from the
discussion in Austrian newspapers
of the latter part of January, just
received here.
The Presidents proposals also
have received considerable atten-
tion in Germany. The papers there
explain the favorable echo the pro-
posals have evoked in Austria by
saying that the Objectionable parts
of the Presidents address do not
apply to Austria as vitality as they
do to Germany.
Various members of the Aus
trian House of Deputies declared
in the budget committee of that
body that It was a mistake to re-
ject the Wilson proposals coolly
and contemptuOuSly. They ex-
pressed the belief that even at the
present time it should be possible
to reach an understanding with
the Western powers.

Gen. Pershing to Have

SIX DIVISIONS TO
u. S. ARMY CORPS
Washington Perfects Or
ganization Schedule
for Troops Abroad.

Washington, March BASED
on the line method of trench
warfare evolved in France, the
war department, it was learned
today, has approved a plan of
organization which fixes six
divisions as the strength of an
army corps.
Three or more corps will
constitute a field army and the
Immediate purpose of the de-
partment is to complete the or
ganization of the first field
army in France in the shortest
possible time to give Gen. Per-
shing the strength to hold a
fully "Americanized" sector of
the front.
By the six division army corps plan
each corps will occupy a front sector
| with two divisions, while two replace
ment or reinforcement lines of two
divisions each will back them up. The
effect is to produce the line of depth
necessary for the type of warfare
| now in prgress.
Replacement troops sent from the
i United States are fed into the war
machine in France at the third line.
| rVbau roo1Ta aT,d in order
as their training progresses and ar
rive at front line trenches to fill in
casualty gaps only when they have
been thoroughly seasoned.
To fulfil the functions of an army
| corps it has been found necessary tC
place under a corps commander, in
addition to his six infantry divisions,
approximately 10000 men known as
corps troops. These comprise artillery
units, engineers and all types of ser
vice battalions for work on the COM
munication lines of their own corps.
A similar organization of about 120, ,00(
men is necessary for each field army
of three corps. These field army
troops maintain the lines from the ad-
vanced base of the army back to the
source of supply. In the case OF Gen.
Pershing's forces this line connects
with the ocean transport service.
Included in the corps troops are
many units of heavy artillery equipped
with guns ranging up to 10 and l.
inches in calibre both for fixed en-
placement and for mobile artillery
This comprises the artillery reserve Of
the corps. , The great general artil.
lery reserve of the field army is un.
der direct command Of the army com
riander and included in his so-calleG
Amy troops.
The organization schedules show
Cen. Pershing is to be equipped even
tually with artillery of all calibres OF
a scale not heretofore dreamed of. The
proportion of artillery to army rifle:
adopted by the war department i!
greater than that of either the Brit
ish or the French army and the tend
ency of the department is to increase
the big guns.
Included in the heavy artillery as
signed to corps or field army com
manders will be whole brigades of an
ti-aircraft guns, mobile howitzers O.
six eight, 10 and even - inch calibre
rifles of similar size including heav!
long range naval guns and probably
as soon as they are available batteries
of the monster American 16 inch ma
val rifles recently developed. Will
this array of guns enemy depots, q
miles or more in the rear of hi
trenches, could be kept under bon
bardment.
