Viets Have Terrible Experience Crossing Tracks in Bris- tol—Gatetender Reported Absent. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. ¥lets of this city narrowly escaped belng run down and ground to pleces beneath the wheels of the Bristol-bound dinky at 12:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Doolittle’s crossing in Plainville. Mr. Viets is refated to R. B. Viets, who figured in a similar tragedy at' the Curtis street crossing several weeks ago when hig wife was killed and his mother-in-law seriously injured. The near fatality of yesterday is blamed by some witnesses on the | gatetender, even as was the accident here. Mr. Viets was driving his ma- ckine slowly ta avoid school children and claims to have sounded his horn az he approached the crossing. Wit- nesses claim that no gateman ap- peared and as the New E®itain party crossed the tracks the dinky swept around the curve and thundered down upon them. With remarkable presence of mind Mr. Viets jammed his foot onto the .accelerator and thereby gave his car sufficient extra momentum to speed it ‘across the tracks. The train missed striking the tonneau of the machine by inches. Later Mr. Viets visited the gate- tender’s shack and found it locked whereupon he visited police: head- quanters to lodge a formal complaint. Pl o P RAILROAD POSTPONES WORK. Because so many of the New Ha- ven road's cmployes are busily en- gaged in guarding bridges, culverts. stations, power plants, etc, it will be imposéible to furnish men to con- struct the underpass beneath the tracks at Fairview cemetery. Work has been started to construct this pass which would have connected the old and new cemetery plots, but it has been indefinitely postponed, the railroad officials declare. EX-COUNCILORS TO MEET HERE. The Ex-Couuncilors’ association of Hartford county of the Jr. O. U. A. M., will hold its annual meeting in the rooms of New Britain council on April 19. Reports will be read and officers for the coming year elected. Two applications for membership were received at last night's meeting of New Britain council.

N American Patrol HINDENBURG LINE NOT REACHED YET General Maurice Says Capture of St. Quentin Would Not Break German Position. London,” April 6.—Hopes that *the 'capture of St. Quentin by the British and French, would break the Hinden- burg line were dashed by Major-Gen- eral F. B. Maurice, chief director of niilitary operations at ‘the war office. “St. Quentin is not a part ot the Hin- denburg line,” he said, “and the sur- render of that city will not mean the Ereaching of the German position.” General Maurice did not indicate where the Hindenburg line lay, whether it was on high ground not far tc the rear of St. Quentin and La Fere or many miles beyond, almost to the border. West of Cambrai and southeast of Arras the British have come up to a “fortifled line,” he said, but did not say that was a part of the Hindenburg line. The exact whereabouts of this famous position is now considered a mystery. “The fighting is becoming more severe along the line of the enemy retirement until it can now be said that cavalry skirmishing has given way to an infantry advance guard ac- tion, with the natural result that the actions are becoming harder, with more tangible results in the way of prisoners and material. “You know we recently have taken six guns. Along the northern sector of our advance the enemy has reache’ a fortified line where he is certain 1o put up a fight. Elsewhere on the Somme front actual infantry contact is noted. St. Quentin is not a part of the Hindenburg line and the sur- render of this town will not mean the breaking of the German positions. “Our advance under the recent ap- palling weather conditions must be ccnsidered as a splendid operation, for the snow there has been as bad as here, eight inches having fallen in the space of a few hours. The ad- vance of our infantry and guns under such conditions constitutes a feat of which the army may well be proud.” nasi HUNDREDS OF STYLISH TRIMMED HATS FOR EASTER CERTAINLY YOURS IS AMONG THEM WE ARE FEATURING LARGF ASSORTMENTS AT THESE SPECIAL PRICES $3 85 $8 $10 $12 $15 Our Easter showing of Millinery is now at its very best.
