Snowplow Gets Lost in
Snowdrift on Reading
One of the greatest tasks report en
by Reading track forces was the open
ing of the Schuylkill and Susquehanna
Division, between Dauphin and Au
burn. I,arge forces of men have been
busy since Monday. It is expected that
trains will be running regularly by
to-morrow. Officials are anxious to
have this line clear, as it may become
an important branch when the spring
freight rush is on, and it is necessary
to divert certain traffic to save time.
Snow plows were sent out from tile
Auburn terminal, and the men found
it hard work digging tracks out of
snowdrifts and opening up sidings.
One of the snow plows got lost in a
| big drift west of Pinegrove. The crew
I lost communication with headquarters
and for several hours it was feared
the workmen had met with an acci
dent. Later in the day word was re
ceived at Auburn that the plow had
been recovered and work resumed.
Women Employes Work
Hard in Spite of Weather
Up to the present time women em
ployed in the yards of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad, at Altoona, have been
holding down their respective Jobs in
a satisfactory manner. The report
that they had been froten out Is de
nied. While a number of men stopped
off because they were unable to stand
the cold weather and deep snow, only
one woman lost any time, and she was
off duty several hours, being unable
to get to work because of the drifts.
One of the women has not missed a
day since last August, while the ma
jority of women boast of having lost
from one to three days In that time.
At present 800 women and girls are
working for the company at Altoona.

Secretary Baker issued the follow
ing statement:
"The sinking of the Tuscania
brings us face to face with the loss
es of war in its most relentless form.
It is a fresh challenge to the civi
lised world by an adversary who has
refined but made more deadly the
stealth of the savage in warfare. We
must win this war and we will win
this war. Losses like this unite the
country in sympathy with the fam
ilies of those who have suffered loss;
[they also unite us to make more de

The 20th Engineers, (foresters) is
the largest regiment in the world,
I although only one battalion was on
the Tuscania. The aggregate strength
of the regiment is 17,000 officers and
men. Some of the units still are in
training in a camp near here. Col

of German plans for carrying on a

Teutons Bar Captives
Released by Russians
Petrograd. Fofe. 4 (delayed),—The
Germans and Austrians have estab
lished quasi quarantine conditions
along the Russian front, and • ncMy
prisoners are now finding it d iflcult
to cross the trenches unless there is
a reasonable certainty that they are
not infected with revolutionary
tents. Incidentally, the escaping and
released prisoners turned back by
their compatriots naturally drift to
the Petrograd district, where they are
now said to number 40,000.
The enemy's measures to Isolate
himself and not allow news of in
ternal disturbances to leak out have
included the breaking oft of direct
telegraph communication between
Brest-L.itovsk and Petrograd, with
the result that nothing has been
heard of the Trotzky delegation for
the last three days, which is ample
time to allow the invention of the
rumor now actively circulating that
separate peace lias already been
signed.
EAT OSTRICH EGGS AM)
CRACK HIGH COST OF LIVING
Washington, Feb. 7.—Ostrich eggs
to reduce the war cost of food are
referred to in a report from United
States Consul John Dye, at Port
Elizabeth, South Africa. Ho says:
"Since the slump in the ostrich
feather market occurred in 1914,
making it unprofitable to raise os
triches for their feathers alone,
schemes have been devised in this
country to minimize the losses to
ostrich farmers, many of whom had
no other capital than their ilocks.
"The eggs of the ostrich have long
been a stable product on the market
of Port Elizabeth and other ostrich
centers, and have been mixed with
hens' eggs by bakers in the manu
facture of cakes and pastry. Irately
two sealed cans, each containing
twenty ostrich eggs in liquid form,
have been shipped to Ijondon as an
experiment. The results are awaited
with interest. In large quantities,
ostrich eggs are quoted at Port
Elizabeth at 14 to 18 cents each.
One of these eggs weighs between
two and three pounds, and is equi
va ent to about two dozen hens'
eggs."
