60-MILE GALE
HIT NEW YORK
Wind Whistled Through
the Deep Canyons of
the City
SIGNS BLOWN DOWN,
CHIMNEYS TOPPLED

Smashed-Travel Well
Nigh Impossible

New York, March 6,--The storm
king paid another unwelcome visit to
New York to-day just as the city was
commencing to recover from the effects
of the S5ooo,000 blizzard of month
ago and within II hours the metropolis
struggled with pelting rain, a driving
sleet storm and biting snow squail
As the temperature dropped steadily
during the night, the wind increased in
velocity until during the early morning
hours it had reached an unofficial We
loeity of 60 miles an hour, which BODIED
i'll for shipping off the coast.
The comparatively warm rain was at
first welcomed by a much harrassed
street department, as the fall, at the
rate of an inch an hour, washed away
some of the icy, muddy relics OF Feb
ruary's blizzard. But the cutters soon
were turned into miniature mill races,
sewers were clogged, cellars were food
ed, small streams in the outlying sec
tions overfowed their banks, roads
were washed out and high tides con-
tributed to damage along the water
front Thousands Of emergency calls
were received by the water department.
The sleet made a successful attack
on the transportation system. Service

lines was crippled. The drifting snow
later added to the difficulty and, even
with motor plows, it was difficult to
keep traffic moving. /,
Ferry transportation was impeded
and trains into the railway terminals
were reported to be considerably be-
hind their schedules.
The rising wind whistled through the
CANYONS of narrow streets in the sky
scraper district, making walking well
nigh impossible. 1t unloosened signs,
toppled over chimneys here and there
and smashed great plate glass windows
in the fashionable shops along Fifth
avenue, causing thousands OF dollars
damage.
Costly oil paintings displayed in the
windows of the Enrich galleries were
slightly damaged by the falling glass.
Some of the paintings were over 200
wears old and had been displayed at
the ROYAL academy in London. NaH-
able antique vases were injured by be
ing showered with broken glass in
other art shops.
The telephone and telegraph compan-
les reported that wire communication
out OF the city was badly crippled.

Gen. Miles as an Indian Fighter.

General Miles was the greatest In
dian fighter the American army ever
had. in my opinion" observed Colonel
Andrew Geddes Of Iowa. He succeeded
where other officers failed. Indeed, !

in a campaign against the Indians, and
he took part in lot Of them. He got
Geronimo; he got Chief Joseph and he
got Sitting Bull General Custer tried
10 run down Sitting Bull, you remem-
Der, and failed at Little Big Horn, when
he and virtually his entire command
were massacred. Then General Miles
went after Sitting Bull, and he took
him. Howard had been sent after Chlet

in capturing this chief of the Nez Per,

failed to take this willy Indian, but

And Backache Stopped After Short
Treatment with FRUIT -A-TIVES"

Moretown, Vermont, March 9th 1918.
ST am warranted in having the
strongest faith in 'Fruit-a-tives' after
receiving such wonderful benefits
from them. For years, I was a sufferer
with Kidney and Liver Complaints.
My back ached; my liver was
sluggish and my whole system
seemed out of order.
'Fruit-a-tives' was the only remedy
to help me. They strengthened the
kidneys, made my bowels move
regularly and freed me of all the
distress caused from the kidney
trouble, constipation and indigestion.
A few weeks treatment with
'Fruit-a-tives' made me feel as if /
had new lease on life, and I am glad
to make known the great value Of
these Fruit Liver Tablets.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

If YOU are troubled with back aches,
il is bet that they are caused by
weak kidneys; they don't perform their
duties, and you should look out, as
there is trouble brewing.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells, and it is more than
likely to bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, full OF
sediment, your sleep disturbed by being
compelled to arise, one or more times
during the night, because of the pain,
irritation and abnormal condition OF
the kidneys and bladder.
II you will take from 10 to 20 drops
of SEVEN BARKS in a little water
after meals, you will correct the aka
Unity of your secretions, thus giving
you undisturbed sleep and peaceful
rest, preparing you for your next days
duties.
When the kidneys are not doing
their duty they allow impurities to
accumulate and be converted into uric
acid and other poisons, which will
cause serious trouble unless they are
driven from your system.
II you eat meat regularly. you
should aush the kidneys occasionally
with SEVEN Banks, as meat forms
uric acid. which clogs the pores, so
they cannot throw OFF the poisons.
Don't neglect your kidney trouble
with the first symptoms, YOU will be
sorry if you do. Get SEVEN BARKS
of your druggist, at a cost of only 90
cents.-Adv.

SIR AUCKLAND GEDDES
WILL SAIL APRIL 3
New Ambassador to United States De-
clares He Has Been Misquoted on
Sinn Fein Movement.

London, March 6.--April 3 has been
tentatively fixed as the date Of depart
IRE Of Sir Auckland Geddes, the new
British ambassador to the United
States, for New York.
Sir Auckland said yesterday morn
ing that he had been misquoted in what
purported to be interviews with him, in
which it was declared he had charac-
terized the Sim Fein movement rs
practically a religious scheme"
Sir Auckland replied;
''fn the first place, ] have granted no
interview since my appointment to the
Washington post. What | was quoted
as saying must have been founded on
my conversation of Tuesday last, in
which | employed the platitude that
Sim Feinism is an intensely national
movement.

complexities more political than re-
ligious. think my reported optimism
over the new home rule bill is under
standable, since | participated in its
framing"
The ambassador said his reported
espousal of a world loan TO Germany
was merely a reiteration of his CON
viction that one Of the worlds first du-
ties was to help Germany to her feet,
which sentiment he has frequently ex-
pressed in public addresses.
Sir Auckland said he would reserve
comment on the Anglo American stu
alton and affairs until his arrival in
the United States

SHAMROCKS
DEFEATED
Montpelier Legion Team
Winner on It's Own
Floor, 26 to %
ROUGH PLAYING
WAS THE FEATURE
Geals Injured Ankle and
Had to Leave the
Game

The Montpelier American Legion bas'
ketball team defeated the Shamrock
team of Barre on the armory floor in
Montpelier last evening by a score OF
20 to 27 in an unsatisfactory game be-
cause of the large number OF fouls
called and the delays that took place
in the game. The teams seemed TO be
closely matched Some nice playing
was seen at times, but the fact that
the men had been playing under anna
teur rules seemed to affect their play
ing under professional regulations,
Geals, who was playing fast game
until the middle of the second period,
was replaced by Carroll, Geals having
injured his ankle, while B. Stewart re-
ceived bad bump by going into a
seat along the side of the hall in the
third period of playing; but was able
to 40 back into the game in few
minutes. He was pretty faint after
the accident took place but as soon as
he had little water to drink he was
all right and did some good work the
last part of the game, shooting nice
basket well towards the end of the
period.
The game started fast and the Sham
rocks landed the first basket. 1t was
rough in the first period OF playing, so
that Montpelier obtained five OF the
seven points it obtained in the first
period on fouls thrown by the different
players. Kelley got the only basket
that period from the floor for his team
just as the period was completed
another basket was thrown and during
the intermission between the periods
Argument occurred throughout as to
whether the basket should be allowed.
The referee did not hear any whistle
blown and allowed the basket. 1t was
explained that the whistle was blown
by the time keeper, John Duncan, and
finally, although the referee said that
as far as he was concerned Montpelier
was entitled to the basket, it was not
claimed, and the game proceeded with
the score at the beginning OF the second
period 7 to s in favor of the Sham
rocks.
In the second period Montpelier
seemed TO get going and was able to
get II points, placing them ahead OF
their opponents, who were only able
to get eight points.
In the third period, at one time,
Montpelier was three baskets ahead.
Then the Shamrocks climbed up so
that there was only point between
the two teams and finally Montpelier
obtained another point and was able
t. hold the three point lead, ending the
game with the score of 26 to % in
Montpelier's favor.

SEEK SOLUTION
OF TREATY MIDDLE
Senators Still Hope That Treaty May
Be Saved and Approved in
Some Form.

Washington, d. C., March 6.-Stili
hoping that the peace treaty may be
saved from another deadlock, Demo
cratic senators sought yesterday to lay
directly before President Wilson the
latest proposals discussed as a posi-
BILE compromise basis on article 10.
While reconsideration of the Republi-
can resolutions proceeded in the Sen
ate. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
the administration leader, is understood
TO have written the president, asking
that he see administration senators
and give them his views as to wheth-
err he would accept the compromise pro-
posals now under consideration.
These proposals are said to contem-
plate a change in the Republican arti-
Gle 10 reservation SO that the military
force and other specific agencies Will
be named as means which the United
States would decline to use to pre-
serve the integrity of the other mem
bers.
The move for a conference with the
president is said to have grown out
of negotiations which have been in
progress for several days under the di-
rection of Senator Simmons, Demo-
crat, North Carolina. for the Demo
cratic side and Senator Watson, Re-
publican. Indiana, for the Republicans.
Thursday Democratic senator who
went to the White House, did not see
Mr.. Wilson, and after talk with Sec
rotary Tumulty, is said to have re
turned to his colleagues without a def
mite idea whether the president would
accept the compromise proposed.
Senator Hitchcock is understood to
have suggested in his letter that the
president see Senator Simmons before
the article 10 reservation comes to an
other vote. The Democrats do not
care. it was pointed out, TO bring about
ratification which the president
would disregard by pocketing the
treaty
In their negotiations Senators Wat
son and Simmons are understood to be
working with the full confidence OF the
leaders Of the two parties, though il
has been emphasized that the compro-
mise discussed has been advanced only
in tentative form and that no one has
agreed TO finally accept it.
A new reservation designed TO pre-
vent further extension of credit TO
foreign governments without congress
sional action was introduced by SEN
ator Knox, Republican, Pennsylvania.
II provides that the credit of the Unit
ed States shall not be pledged until
Congress has affirmatively given au-
thority.
The reservation declaring the repair
ations commission shall not interfere
with trade between the United States
and Germany except with the consent
of this country was re adopted with
out change yesterday by a vote OF al
to %. Six Democrats, Senators Cham
berlain. Oregon; Gore, Oklahoma; MI
gent. Idaho; Reed. Missouri; Shields,
Tennessee, and Smith, Georgia, sup
ported il. gain of five Democratic
votes over last November, when the
reservation was adopted, 81 to 40.
Before the roll call yesterday, Sen
ator Hitchcock made an effort To modi-
fv the reservation SO that Il would de-
clare there could be no discrimination
against the United States. but this
amendment was voted down, % to 81,
the Republicans standing together
against IL.
