Rainfall Eats
Blanket of Snow

A heavy and almost continual rain
fall yesterday ate away the snow at
an astonishing rate of speed. A good
start had been made on the thick
blanket by a heavy fog which de-
scended on the city Monday and &c
manned until yesterday noon.
The sidewalks and streets have
been converted into veritable rivers
by the sudden change in the tenn
perature and the rain. Only on
Main street are the walks yet enough
cleared to make travelling easy. Car
track beds have been nearly cleared
OF snow and they are being used 10
great extent by pedestrians. In
places the slush proves to be very
deceptive, giving away as soon as 1t
is stepped on and a great number
of wet feet have resulted.
Automobile travel is very precar-
ious. the deep layer of slush max
ink skidding certainty. Even in
the business section of the city the
streets are not clear enough of snow
to make the going a pleasure.
Rumors went about the city that
the Kennebec river was fast rising
and might rise to a freshet pitch
within the next "a hours. But up GO
late hour yesterday afternoon the
total rise of the water was not a
foot and the authorities at the Bangs
Power station did not feel that there
was a possibility OF flood.

Flood Conditions

that region. farmers said there was a
greater accumulation of ice on the
highways than the aggregate Of five
seasons past. The overflow Of the
Ammonoosuc River. a tributary of the
Connecticut. covered the tracks Of the
Boston & Maine Railroad at Bath and
Lisbon. N. H., and at Cherry Noun
tain. N. H.. caused . 253-foot washout
on the Berlin branch of the railroad.
The Wells River. which flows into the
Connecticut at Woodsville. overlooked
its banks. and at South Newbury, Vt,
the state highway was under water.
Damage from flooded cellars was re-
ported from many places in New
Hampshire and Vermont, and traffic
on the West River Railroad. a branch
of the Central Vermont Railroad, was
suspended for time at Townsend. VT,
when the tracks were covered with wa
ter and ice. Dynamite was used to
break up ice jams on the Winooski
and other rivers.
Reports from many parts. Of New
England indicated that the highway
had been rendered almost impossible
by the unreasonable warm weather. In
Rutland county, Vermont. 1t was said
there would be an almost complete
tieup of vehicular traffic unless cold
weather interviewed. Many of the main
roads were reported blocked with ice.

Flood Water Seven
Feet Above Normal
On Connecticut River

Woodsville, n. H., Feb. 12-The
Connecticut River was about seven
feet above its normal level late to-
night and Is still rising as the re-
suit of the premature thaw, and
rain which has fallen in the last "a
hours. The heavy rain and high
temperatures have melted tons of
snow and ice in the nearby noun
talns and fields are being inundated.
1t is reported that the large dam
across the Connecticut river at Cole
bl COX, N. H.. went out today adding
to the tremendous volume of water
flowing through mere.
The ice in the Connecticut river
and its tributaries here. the Ammo
noosuc, flowing from the White
Mountains in New Hampshire and
the Wells River, draining a large
strip Of territory in northeastern
Vermont. broke up shortly after sew
en- this morning. Huge cakes of ice
floa ted down stream all day.
Water and ice from the Ammonoo-
sue river covered the Boston and
Maine railroad tracks at Bath and
Lisbon this morning. 1t being neces-
sary to use dynamite in breaking up
the hugs ice jam at Bath. The Con-
Eecticut valley highway at South
Newbury. VT, was impossible today.
The temperature dropped during
the day. the thermometer tonight
registering 80 above. The drop in
temperature and the fact that the
rain stopped at six this evening is
expected to lessen the flood damage
farther south in the Connecticut
River valley. although the river usu-
ally continues to rise for at least "a
hours after heavy rain.

Our Greatest Worth
(Continued from Pace One)

arc in getting us into trouble; If we
could sound the note, not of an ig-
noble pacifism or of a truculent
chauvinism. but of a noble, reason
ableness. we should be thrice armed
and be assured of just influence to
which no one could set bounds"
The secretary found that Com
slant emphasis on study, security
and reasonableness" were "the es-
sential qualifications for successful
democracy"
abuses and for the regrettable con-
ditions which every lover of mankind
must desire to remedy" said Mr..
Hughes. land it still remains true
that nowhere is labor better circum-
stanced or rewarded, nowhere is
there such a high standard Of living
or so many comforts enjoyed by al
most the entire population. The only
serious threat to labor in this couri-
tr'' is the threat of political stability
and Of the improveme which would
come from the destruction Of the
confidence which is the vital breath
Of enterprise.
'In the recent campaign the atten-
ton of our people was focused on
our institutions. especially on our ju-
dicial institutions. We have nothing
better than our supreme court and
our people intend to protect it against
the attacks of demagogues. 1t does
not need, as some think, to be popu-
larized'
Mr.. Hughes recalled that since Lin
coins day the country has tripled its
population and multiplied it's wealth
many times.
IF we save ourselves 1t will be be-
cause we exhibit organization and or
ganic life," he said. at will be be-
cause we know how to maintain es-
sential institutions and to safeguard
them equally against attack and decay.
We cannot afford to over-cStimate our
immunity and to look with unconcern
upon those among us VIII" would de-
stroy our form of COVER ment. We
cannot ignore their orga zed efforts
to poison the mind Of our youth and
lead them in their ineA .crience to
menace their own future"
The test Of the nations safety and
the measure of it's capacity for pro-
gress. the secretary said. is lin our
temper. in the reasonableness which
enables us to work together and to
get results"
Il am happy to Think" he added,
that this quality is more In evidence
than formerly. It is more conspicuous
in the press. 1 do not wish to charge
our friends of the press with an undue
reticence or an excessive sobriety Of
statement. but the rancor of an earlier
day has largely disappeared. .
But the best evidence of the
growth in the grace of reasonab leness
is shown by the futility Of the ex-
travagances of vituperative politics.
These assaults are still numerous on
the platform and in the press. to say
nothing of more privileged places. But
while they attract much attention.
they do little damage, because our peo-
pie are increasingly Disguised with
that sort of thing. At the last cleo
ton they voted on that proposition"
Mr.. Hughes found that the great
est difficulty 'in an age of fleeting OBJ
servatiors' was not SO much the task
of informing the public as to make
the information stick.

Flood Conditions
In Montpelier, VT,
Worst in Is Years

Montpelier, w. Feb. 12-Flood
waters from the Winooski River
swept through Main and State
Montpelier late today and tonight
the waters were gradually rising,
nearing in height the disastrous
injured when a boiler exploded as the
water entered the basement of one
of the business blocks. Two others,
marooned in State street garage,
were rescued in boats. Boats were
in operation tonight in the business
section.
Thousands of dollars damage was
caused in stores and other business
houses flooded by the swollen river.
Gangs of men summoned by the
sounding of a general fire, alarm at
throughout the day breaking and
dynamiting ice jams which piled up
in the river.
Telegraph and telephone service in
this section of northern and central
Vermont was har hit as the result Of
floods washing poles with wires into
the rivers.
Residences in Montpelier, being To-
Gated for the most part on higher
ground, were unchanged by the
floods.
The warm weather of the past few
days which has denuded the noun
tainsideS of snow was succeeded to-
night by lower temperature and the
rain which fell throughout the day
had changed to snow, giving rise to
the belief that the rise of the floods
would be checked before morning.
Long before the food waters had
begun to enter the streets. cellars in
the business section had been mum
dated. causing heavy damage. When
the water entered the State street
clothing store of D. j. Morse. a boil
err in the basement exploded, injur-
ing Theron Morse and Richard w.
Jerome, an employe of neighboring
store. Neither was seriously hurt.
The explosion in the Morse store
blew out the basement walls and the
water poured in the next block where
the boiler also exploded. Fred Jew
EFT, who had just pulled the boiler
fire as a precaution, was slightly in
jured. Arson Barber, who was work.
ing in one of the Easements, was
trapped by the rising water but was
ass :sted to safety. The loss in these
blocks was estimated to exceed $50,
900.
