Bridge Swept Away.

Brattleboro, Vt. March 29.-The Brattieboro-H -Hinsdale (N. H.) iron bridge that crosses the Connecticut river from Brattleboro to Island park was carried out about 10 o'clock last evening by the heaviest ice jam that Brattleboro has experienced since a wooden bridge, in the same location, was carried out several years ago.
 Cornelius Flanagan, 70, better known to Brattleboro people as "Conn." was caught on the bridge and went down with it. He had lived on the island alone for many years and was well-known character. He had just been to the restaurant and on arriving at the bridge, stated he thought the water was going down and started for home across the bridge. When about half way across he turned and started back for the Brattleboro side. People seeing him shouted a warning to hurry, but the bridge was swept away before he could reach land.
 The bridge which was 200 feet long was constructed about 20 years ago and could not be replaced today for less than $125,00O. While it is too early to tell just what will be done about replacing it, is is under stood the new bridge will be placed in a different location.
 River Rises 22 Feet in Four Hours.
 The river started to rise about ' o'clock last night and rose 22 feet in four hours. The ice had been break ing up for several days and it is thought that the huge jam came from Putney. a point 10 miles up the river. At g o'clock it was seen the river was still rising, but those visit

Ice ElOe Breaks,

Bellows Falls, Vt, March 29.--The ice in the Connecticut river for sev- eral miles north of here broke up yesterday afternoon, causing the wa ter to rise to flood proportions. With in a few hours the water flowing over the dam here has risen from 9 1-2 feet to 13 feet and is still rising.
 No great damage has been report ed as yet, although hundreds of acres of pasture land have been flooded and several farmhouses are sur rounded with water and the farmers have been forced to remove their stock to places of safety. If the wa ter rises few feet more it will GOV CT the tracks of the Rutland railroad near here. The paper mills that are dependent on water-power have all been shut down. The highway to Rockingham is under water and it is impossible for traffic to pass.

 There are seven big motor trucks stalled on the highway between this city and Meriden and every effort to release them is being made. Light passenger cars succeeded in getting through to Meriden but the roads are reported ill bad condition. The Durham road between here and New Haven is also in bad shape in several sections. Yesterday it was learned that a five tone load broke through the concrete on the Haddam road.

Northampton. March 29-The high water closed the Mount Tom street railway line yesterday afternoon at 5 and trouble with the highway was threatened. At F, l.. Fowler, super intendent of streets, placed lanterns at both ends of the low sections of the state road, which was under a foot of water.

There's no sense in mixing a mess of mustard, flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiff ness with a little clean, white Musterole.
 Musterole is made of pure oil or mustard and other helpful ingredients, combined in the form of the present white ointment. It takes the place of mustard plasters, and will not blister.
 Musterole usually gives prompt reliet from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy, ,rheuma- tism, lunbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles. bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds oS the chest Git often prevents pneumonia ].

Hartford, March 29.-With the Connecticut river nearing the p foot mark, the east side of the city and lowlands are well under water. The freshet is rising at more than an inch an hour and the steamboat offi- cials look for a maximum of p to 26 feet
 Several streets are flooded and many business houses and families have been forced to move to upper floors.

 The structure was built or 10 feet from the water. The ice piled against the abutments up to the floor of the bridge and with one mighty heave the steel structure turned over, slipped from the moor ings and disappeared. Darkness en- veloped the scene and it is thought that the Wreckage may have been swallowed in the ice jam. It is also thought it may have remained intact and is now lying oil the river bed. When leaving it's abutments the bridge made no noise, merely gliding away among the huge ice cakes.

believe we can save her by tradeH.
Thus spoke Lloyd George in the House OF Commons on|
Feb 10th In explanation it may be said the Premier has
received considerable opposition from the promarsts on
his bid to open trade relations with Soviet Russia To justify
his stand he makes the claim that where military force failed
the soothing hand Of trade will He acting the theory
that since Boshevism has arisen from oppression and star
vaon that it will pass away with the filling Of somache
and period of plenty Aso that it is not Russia
alone which the Premier has mind Here is his statement
regarding conditions in England.
"Tle dangers are not all in Russia; they are here
at home speak with knowledge, with apprehension
and responsibility and warn the house that lin the
face Of things which may happen must use every
legitimate weapon We must fight anarchy with album
dance"
We can't quite fathom the little Welshman 1t looks to
like he was putting over the anti Bolshevsts He has
been noted for lighting change Of attitudes and this seems to
be another to- his record We doubt if he really believes that
Boshevsm will die natural death when given chance for
its life He may be merely appeasng the wrath Of the oppos
tion in order to put across his trade plans
1t is true that Russia has been cenene, together as
before by the military actions Of foes from without
and by the needs Of the people But to that
the principles for which they have suffered every variety Of
will be cast aside in period Of better conditions to
read human nature wrongly II Lloyd George is serious in this
matter then he fails to the principle underlying all
the suffering which Russia has undergone
The cvies have been offerong peace to the allies for
two years They have yearned for opportunity develop
their plan of social unhampered But order to
gain these ends they had organize army of 100000
under extremely trying conditions Now they have
lis likely that the principles for which they have suffered
and died will be cast aside when the opportunity for
putting them in practice presents itself?
