NEW YORK STILL
IN STORM GRIP
Thirty Thousand Men Working to
Clear the Streets of Snow—
Fear Food Famine
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—The bliz
zard of Friday and Saturday abated
yesterday and the city authorities
have 30,000 men working to clear the
streets of the snow so that traffic can
be resumed. In spite of hiring all
the teams and wagons obtainable the
street cleaning department were un
able to make much of an impression
on the accumulation of snow.
Unless the streets can be cleared
today many sections of the city will
go hungry, as supplies are not be
ing moved from the freight depots to
the centers of distribution nor are the
retailers able to replenish stocks
which have become exhausted.
The outlying sections of the city
are hit hardest. Railroads operating
out of the city are employing all the
men they can secure to open the
tracks, as commuters are unable to
reach the city and more than a million
residents of outlying sections of New
Y'ork, who are in the habit of com
ing to the city of every day, were
compelled to remain in the suburbs.
The snow ceased falling yesterday
but this afternoon it resumed again
and a coat of the beautiful in great
feathery flakes is covering the city.
REVENUE CUTTER
ON LONG CRUISE
NEW YORK, Feb, 16.—The United
States revenue cutter Seneca left
here today to patrol the iceberg reg
ion of the steamship lane, in which
the big liner Titanic was wrecked two
years ago. The little government
boat will spend five months patroling
the lane and reporting to the ocean
liners the location of the general drift
of the big bergs.

BALKAN SOLDIERS
COMING TO U. S.
✓ .
Sixty Thousand of Them Are Expect
ed in New York in the Next
Four Months.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.~-It is staled
here by the steamship lines that more
than 60,000 Bulgarian soldiers will
come to this port in the next four
months, as the conditions in Bulgaria
are exceedingly bad and the low
steerage rate from Europe to Amer
ica because of the rate war between
the trans-Atlantic steamship lines
will bring all who have the neces
sary money over.
The steamship lines have estab
lished agencies in all the Balkan
states and are preparing for heavy
traffic from that region, as industrial
conditions are bad, besides which the
fear of another war is sending many
out of the country.
