MAKING HISTORY.

Eminent men in all parts of the
country were asked by the New York
Times to give their opinions on the FIVE
greatest achievements which made the
year 1911 notable. The Chinese revou-
tion, on account of its effect on the
whole world, was referred to by the ma
jority as the event of greatest impor-
tance, and Englands social insurance
scheme was the choice for second place.
The forward movement of the peace
Congress, the granting of suffrage to
women in California, and the general
advancement in political knowledge and
independence were subjects which ap-
pealed to other thinkers. Senator Elihu
Root of New York realized that we do
not have the proper perspective to Judge
what is taking place at the present time,
and therefore made this answer: Il
don't know what are the five greatest
events that have happened during the
last year. Nobody knows. To appreci-
ate the relative Importance of events
one must get out from among them and
look back at them from a distance. The
nearest thing to certainty is that, bar
ring accident whoever guesses now
guesses wrong"

"FIGHTING BOB" DEAD.

Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans, d.
Fighting Bob'-the most picturesque
and popular figure in the American navy,
died suddenly from indigestion in Wash
ington Wednesday night after an illness
of two hours. Admiral Evans was ma
tive of Virginia, and in his boyhood went
to Utah so that he could receive the ap-
pointment to the naval academy, prom
ised him by William Hooper, then the
territorial delegate in CongrSFs. The
sympa thies of Evans's family were with
the confederacy, and one of his broth
ers served in the rebel army, but young
Evans remained true to the Union which
had educated him and entered active ser
vice upon his graduation from Annapo-
lis in 1863. He was terribly wounded at
Fort Fisher, but refused to allow the
surgeons to amputate his legs. although
they told him he would die if the opera
ton was not performed. He protected
American interests in a way that won
admiration during rotious times in Chilli
and as captain in command of the bat
tleshp Iowa won fame in the Spanish
American war when Cervera's fleet was
demolished off Santiago. He was in
command of the American squadron on
the first part of its voyage around the
world under President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration. Admiral Evans went on
the retired list three years ago. He was
known in the popular mind as a fighter,
but in the navy he was also recognized as
an officer of high professional achieve
ments.

MISS MAcLEoD's SUCCESSOR.
MUTUAL Aid Association Has Asked Miss
Matilda A. clifton Of New York to
Take Up Work Of Director.

a special meeting of the Mutual Aid
association was called Thursday, Dec. 2S,
to act on the resignation of Miss Char
lotte Macleod as director of the associa-
tion. Miss Macleod was urged to recon-
slider, but as she found it impossible to
do so the resignation will be accepted
with regret. Miss Macleod has been in
Brattleboro since January, 1909 While
here she received a call to organize a
national nursing association in Australia
but refused, as her work here was incom-
plete.
In building up the Mutual Aid associa-
tion and then moving on to something
,else she is following her accustomed role
of organizer. She spent seven years in
building up the Waltham training school
for nurses; then, six and one half years
with the Victorian Order of Nurses, de-
veloping a system of nursing and cottage
hospitals throughout Canada; then, two
years in organizing the Instructive Dis
trict Nursing training school in Boston;
and finally, three years in organizing and
developing in Brattleboro what has been
called the most complete system Of
caring for the sick in their homes that
there Is in this country. Such is Miss
Macleods long record of pioneer service
in the field of nursing. Like other
pioneers she is moving on, much to the
regret of all who have known her. Brat
tleboro is fortunate in having had her
services as long as it has, and the results
of her work will be lasting There are
many into whose lives she has entered
with personal interest, helpfulness and
friendship, who will feel her loss deeply.
The problem of choosing Miss Macleod $
successor proved so difficult that a sec
ond special meeting was called for Tues
day of this week, and as a result the as
sociation has asked Miss Matilda a.
Clifton of New York to come to Brattle-
boro.
Miss Clifton is a graduate of the Pres
byterian hospital of Philadelphia, where
she also had post graduate work. She
was trained in district nursing in the
Henry street settlement, New York, un-
der Miss Lillian d. Wald, the recognized
leader of such work in this country, and
worked as district nurse at the Greenwich
settlement, New York. For the past two
years she has been engaged in work in
the Greenwich district that has given her
rare experience and training, with many
problems of health and living such as
daily confront the Mutual Aid associa-
tion. Miss Clifton comes well recon-
mended by all those for whom she has
worked.

At midnight on Sunday the entire tele

At midnight on Sunday the entire tele-
phone business of the United Kingdom
passed under the ownership of the gov
ernment and its management was as
sumed by the post office. This not only
involved the transfer of about $4,000 of the
employees of the National Telephone COM
qany--the private corporation which thus
goes out of business-but the merging of
the former telephone service of the
country with the long-distance or
trunk line" service which since 1892 has
been part of the postal operations OF the
country. This transfer and merger prac-
tically completes the governments mo-
nopoly of the communications of the
United Kingdom, letter, telegraphic and
telephone. What the outcome will be
is problematical. The British telephone
service has not been a brilliant success
measured by the experience OF the United
States in the same field. and it will be
interesting to observe whether any inn
provements will be made under gov
ernment control, There are in Great
Britain today only about one-tenth the
number of stations credited to the Bell
companies alone in this country

The Marine Journal says of the propo-
stion of certain Pacific Coast merchants
and ship-owners in favor of the abolition
OF what they call "our obsolete navigation
laws: Perhaps some of these gentlemen
have been misrepresented by the writer
of the article, who is distinguished in
fiction but we take It not versed in
economies. However. 1t is just as well
for the Pacific coast to understand that
II there is going to be free-trade in ship
ping via Panama, there will be most cer-
tainly free-trade in other things-in the
lumber of Washington and Oregon and
the wines and fruits of California, for
example. The man who believes in pro-
lection as a general policy for all indus
tries that need protection is consistent
and honest. So. too, is the man who be-
lieves in free trade in everything for
every industry, But the man who wants
free-trade in other peoples business and
protection for himself is-well 1t would
not be polite to mention the animal which
he typifes."

The late ex-Gov. Fletcher D. Proctor
was deeply interested in the Home for
Destitute Children in Burlington and just
before his last illness prepared but did
not execute codcil to his will by the
terms of which the home was to receive
a bequest. Mrs. Proctor and her chill
dren desire to carry out the governors
intent, and they have therefore offered to
give the home $4,000 provided that the
institution raises an equal amount, con-
tinues to- offer equal opportunity to chill
dren all over Vermont, and maintains an

Nearly half million people left New
York during the past year, the majority
going back to Southern Europe, taking
with them, it is estimated, between $780,
100000 and $1OOOO0,OOO. Every vessel leav-
ing New York for Southern Europe at
the present time is crowded, and the
eity's population is being cut down at
the rate of $4,000 a week. The cause
of this great exodus has not been def
nitely explained, but the war between
Italy and Turkey and the small demand
for cheap labor are undoubtedly factors
in causing people to return to Europe.
