SIMS TELLS HOW HIS ADVICE
WAS DISREGARDED

WASHINGTON, March 10-Fail-
ure of the navy department to fully
cooperate in the war during the first
six months after Americas entry cost
half a million lives, $15,000,000,0OO
and 100000 tons of shipping and
prevented a victory over Germany
early in July. Rear Admiral Sims
told the Senate Investigating COM
mittee in presenting documentary ev-
idence today. The officer read to the
committee recommendations he had
made to the department Immediately
on his arrival in London. A cable
gram sent late in April, 1918, said the
critical area where the war would be
won or lost was in the Eastern At
lantic at the focus Of all lines of
ocean communication to England and
France. He told the committee that
although he repeatedly urged that
every small craft available to be sent
to sea, be sent to this area his recon-
mendation was rot complied with un-
til about months later.

RAILROADS
GETTING BACK
TO NORMAL
Maine Central the Last Line
to Resume Limited Pas
senger Service

The railroads are gradually getting
back to normal and resuming their
passenger service, the Maine Central
being the last in this vicinity to get
trains through. The old Northern
railroad from White River Junction
to oCncrd is still closed for traffic and
the Central Vermont trains are run
into Boston via Bellows Falls and
Greenfield. The Boston & Maine have
declined to haul thcd lining cars and
parlor cars on the New England
states limited of the Central Yer
mont until after this week.
The first through train from Boston
over the White Mountain division
came up from Concord and Plymouth
Tuesday evening. This was the af-
ternoon "air line and it brought the
belated Boston mails and the Sunday
papers. The night "air line" passed
through st. Johnsbury at 5.37 We'd

slow because Of the condition of the
roadbed.
Through connection with Burling.
ton was established Tuesday p. m,
when the Burlington and Lamoille
railroad from Cambridge Junction 10
Burlington was opened up.
The Maine Central expect to- get
their snow plow through from Lancas-
ter Tuesday and if it arrives here in
time the afternoon train for the East
will start out. This will be the first
train to Lunenburg since the storm
and it will be impossible to run it
through to p '7--l because Of the
drifts in the White Mountains.
The railroads handled the situation
in a most commendable manner. The
various crews, including volunteers in
many of the larger cities in southern
New Hampshire, worked hours over
time to open up traffic and the station
officials were very courteous in ex-
planning as best they could the pros
poets of the resumed traffic.

including three distinct delegates
pledged to him. The vote was very
light, apparently representing about
one-fourth of the voting population
Of the state.
Many towns postponed their meet
ings owing to the traffic tie-up and
in other country districts only a
small portion of the voters turned
out. However the light vote was not
confined to the small towns but was
general in the cities where there was
no difficulty in getting to the polls.
This was attributed to lack Of in
terest in the contests which were
largely personal.

The fact that no serious casualties
