Rain in France.
(HartfOrd COurant.)

AS il has been asserted that tho
American soldiers now in Brest are
floundering about in mud more than
knee deep and that rain falls there nc
least five times day. the secretary of
war has cabled for the facts regarding
the situation. This is altogether pro-
per, yet the secretary might get some
information in Washington by apply
ing to the weather bureau which has
volumes of dat.t as to annual precpita-
ton, and further, has men of its own in
France
Every person who has received let.
ters from the soldiers abroad has heard
much as TO the rain, mud and fog, pnrt-
~ because this matter of the weather
was subject which might be discussed
without interference on the part of the
censor and partly because men from
this section where severe storms are
generally followed by periods of fair
weather, found conditions novel. The
soldiers from the fog enshrouded sec
tions of the maritime provinces to tho
northeast of us would accept French
conditions as a matter of course.
The meteorological records run in di.
rect opposition TO this theory of ex-
cessive rains, for the animal rainfall at
Bordeaux is 81 inches while that in
Hartford for the year just ended was
probably not far from IS inches, being
II matter Of nine inches below the nor
NAL. The normal precipitation at Bor-
deauX is far under that of Hartford,
while the annual normal at Paris is on.
~ half that in this city In London tho
normal annual precipitation is 25 inch
es, against As inches here, figures that
are in conflict with the cherished be-
lief of every Connecticut man who is
or who has been serving his country in
France.
The soldiers and the records need
harmonizing in some manner and the
explanation of the apparent conflict
may lie in the nature of the French
soil. BY what the soldiers say the soil
may be as thrifty as the people who
live upon it. The ground may utilize
every drop of rain that falls upon it,
holding il as long as possible whereas
in New England the rainfall might
leach and disappear. Again if from
$4,000 to 100000 soldiers were en-.
campcd on Connecticut soil at this time
their camp ground would become mud
dy and the things they would say and
write about the state and the soil and
the climate would correspond closely
with what they are saying and have
written about France.

INDIAN PRINCESS PLEAsEs.
Watahwaso of Penobscot Tribe and As
sisting Artists Give Woman's Club
Annual Musicale.

A musical program varying widely
from the usual trend was rendered in
the Baptist church Wednesday evening,
the occasion being the annual musicale
of the Brattleboro Woman IS club,
which presented Princess Watahwaso
Mrs. Thomas Francis Gordon of New
York;, a charming Indian girl, assisted
by Arthur Brooke. first flutist of the
Boston Symphony orchestra, and Betty
n. Scherleen, pianist, of New York. The
evident enjoyment and appreciation of
the renditions was manifest by the
hearty applause accorded each number,
including the encOres, to which the trio
responded generously. No two of the
musicians had appeared together prev
ious to their arrival here, and that
each truly was an artist was shown by
the perfect harmonization of the selec-
tons.
Princess Watahwaso, who was max
ing her first appearance before q New
England audience, came to the platform
IN evening costume, without introduce
ton. and gave n brief and interesting
sketch of the Penobscot tribe which
|
| She said the tribe numbered 480 In
dams and that practically all of the
| boys enlisted for service in the army
or navy. She told of the life and worl,
of the men and women of the tribe,
| their opportunities for schooling, she
being the first girl of the tribe to at
tend n public school. Her father,
Joseph Nicoli. wrote the hook entitled
| Life and Traditions of the Red Man.
| Her mother, who is still living, organ
| lied n Woman s club on the island,
and the club has become affiliated with
the national federation. She continues
her basket making and each season
goes TO the nearby summer resorts to
make her sales of basketry.
The charming Indian princess, Bright
Star (Watahwaso), sketchcd briefly
her songs of the Sioux, Pueblo, Chip
pewa and Crow tribes, which included
the mourning of the sacrifice of a
| Flute,-flute accompaniment being
heard in The distance, love song Of n
pottery girl, maiden's prayer song
and dance. For the encore of this
group she sang Springtimc, written
especially for her hy friend. Her next
group included the song of greeting
when two troops meet, a lullaby, and
n bad little Indian boy.
Another group of songs was made up
of prayer to the Sun God for the
protection of n baby, a characteristic
Indian song of fir tree calling curses
Gown upon the white birch,-as a sym
boil of the Indian calling curses upon
the "pale face" Her closing musical
number was a Sioux love song, assisted
by fiute,-Prncess Watahwaso s last
victor record,-By the Waters of Min
netonka, which also was sung as an en-
core, and in the rendition of which the
artist s richness and fullness of tone
and Interpretation of Indian music
were especially noticeable.
She then gave the wedding ceremon-
ial dances as INDUCED in by the old
man, the young men, the old men as
they danced in "A body, the women, and
the change. These dances, executed
in Indian costume, as were her vocal
selections, added a pleasing touch to
! the closing of the musical program.

East and West Train Service.
(Keene, n. H. Scntinel.0


1t was announced recently at Con-
cord that a movement was under way
TO get better train service across the
state than New Hampshire has yet en-.
loyed Cheshire county people would
be glad to see such result accom-
pished A practical solution of the
problem, at this end, at least, was dis
cussed considerably by business men in
kcene before the war, but of course
put aside when everyone energies
"f The t'f 4t to trt tss HSe
lservice has been that there was and is
no such thing. The trains that patch
out possible cross connections are run
not for that purpose mainly but as trib-
utaries or parts of the big north and
south lines from Boston and Worcester.
One may go to Boston and back readily
enough from Keene or Concord or
Rochester or Portsmouth, But u cross
state trip is different matter.
The solution of the problem TINT has
been suggested here is through the use
Of smaller or single car train units
running at low cost and more frequent
| ~ than heavy trains can be afforded
Such self-propeled units or combna
tion ears of several types have been
made for a number of years and opcr-
ated successfully by many of the larg
| est roads. The ears carry forty to six
| ty passengers, with mail, baggage, and
| get their power from gasoline motors or
| from engines like those of the Stanley
steam automobile. And they make for
| ty TO fifty miles an hour easily and are
| excellent for interstation work, stop.
ping and starting easily and quickly.
! This sort of motor car, it is urged,
| would give an ideal low cost service
and stimulate increased travel by more
| frequent runs. Starting from Brattlc-
boro, for instance, at d or 6.15 a. H.,
and running to Kcene, via Dole June
tion, it would bring Brattleboro pas
| scngers here in time to get an express
| or Boston about Z Il. M, via tItch-
| burg. BrattlebOro, Keene and the Ash
| uelot and Cheshire branch towns ought
to give a very good load for such a
| tram to run express from Winchendon.
The motor car could resume its cross
country run from Keenc to Elmwood or
| beyond, connecting with Concord and
Nashua. 1t might perhaps develop Il
Manchester ana Keene line in fact, us
well as in name, via Amherst or hen
mixer. At any rate, returning from
, Elmwood it could bring passengers TO
keene TO do business Ill lair season in
the forenoon, and on the arrival OF the
boston tram, VIA Fltchburg, about Ii,
go on to Brattlelboro i'll time to leave
mere again and connect at Kecne VIII h
the afternoon express for Boston and
also with tram to Elmwood, other
wise going itself, and giving service
10 the Merrimack again ana perhaps
beyond. On the arrival here OF the u
o clock tram from Boston another run
10 BrattleDOro would be possible.
Whatever the details worked out to
keep such motor car or cars busy Il
Deuer local service should result max
ing possible, better cross-state connec-
