said to yourself, How unlucky I am
How can I ever get through this
awful uncertainty xviii ever enjoy

YES, MY FRIEND

what has changed all their troubles.

Elliot and
NeWLaWSa as
They Affect
Ills Railroad

A statement issued tonight by How
ard Elliott, president OF the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road Co.. sums up railroad legislation,
recently enacted in Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Rhode Island and
says the passage of these bills give
the company the legal right to sub
nit to its stockholders some plan for
financing its present floating debt and
for obtaining money for future needs,
if business conditions justify" Mr..
Elliott adds that there is much work
to be done in preparing any plan and
in obtaining the necessary approval
of the public service commissions of
the states.
The statement expresses the hope
that the investigation of the eXpendi-
lures and liabilities of the company
called for in the valuation bill passed
by the Massachusetts Legislature
may proceed rapidly so that the pub
lie service commission can complete
its report in the late autumn. The
company is declared to be ready to
cooperate with the commission in
every way.
A most important result of the leg
islation enacted during the year by
cooperation of various interests, says
the statement, is that 1T marks the
starting out on a course of construc-
tive work in helping to build up the
New Haven road and the New Eng
land transportation business.

temple of the gods and to make merry
with song and dance. The incidents de-
picted in mythology were recalled with
remarkable vividness and the scene
simply savored Of ancient Athens.
A Realistic Setting
In the center of the lawn was Gre

Of green trimmings. Here it was that
the spirits came to dance and to exc
cute their missions. The nymphs also
visited the temple and the heralds had
occasion to come here, too. The parts

Forceful Statement

Officials familiar with the contents
of the note said it was forceful re-
iteration of the principles expressed by
the United States in its note of Feb.
10, when the American government an
nounced that it could not admit the
right of the German admiralty's proc
lamation of war zone to infringe upon
the right of neutrals to travel any,
where on the high seas on peaceful
merchantmen and that the German
government would be held to a strict
accountability for any violations of
American rights.
May Cite GuIflight
Suggestion has been made to the Pres
ident that the recent note from Germany
offering regrets and reparat ton for sink
ing by mistake of the Gulf1ight will be
cited in the new note proof of the
American contention that without visit
and search the identity of vessel can
not be established and the lives Of neu-
trails safeguarded. The commander of
the German submarine which attacked

In German quarters the optimism
which has been apparent since Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
talked with President Wilson continued
today, the impression being given that
the road to an understanding was much
clearer than it had been since the Lusi-
tania was destroyed.
The belief is constantly expressed in

quently pointed out. too, that the present
correspondence over neutral rights has
led to a discussion of the general subject
of the freedom of the seas and some Ger
man officials have suggested that out of
the exchange of notes with Germany fol-
lowed by further correspondence with
Great Britain on neutral rights, the way
may be opened even to the making Of
peace.

quarters is fixed upon a settlement of
the difficulties that have arisen between

So far as the seven accused midship-
men are concerned, their cases may be
settled by the secretary Of the navy at
any time without reference to what is
developed by the court of inquiry. The
new investigation concerns rather the
conduct Of other midshipment and any
of those who may have been concerned
in the matter.
In the naval academy the scandal is
the more seriously regretted because of
many things recently done by Rear Adj
miral Fullam, superintendent Of the in
stitution. Among these was the issuance
Of a communication last February in
which the superintendent urged the mid
shipments parents to use their best en-
deavors to impress upon their sons the
vital importance Of being strictly atten-
tive to duty as regards their studies and

London, June 6.-The Allies in their
offensive on the Gallipoli peninsula on
June captured and held two lines of
Turkish trenches along a front OF
nearly three miles. In Mesopotamia
the British forces have received from
the Turks the surrender of Amara
and taken more than 1000 prisoners,
- guns, gunboat, barges and
steamers. The pursuit of the Turks
who were dispersed into the marshes,
continues.
AS in all trench warfare, which
character the fighting on the CALI
poll peninsula has assumed, the AL
lies found their general advance him
dered through the inability of part of
their force to penetrate the wire en-
tanglements which the artillery fire
had not sufficiently destroyed. This
left other sections of the force open
to an enfilading fire and therefore
part of the ground gained had to be
given up. Some also were lost when
the Turks counter attacked.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-06-07
British Satisfied

A gain of 500 yards on a front OF
three miles in this sort of fighting,
however is considered satisfactory by
the British, particularly as it induced
the Turks to counter attack, in which
they suffered very heavy losses.
Two battles are in progress In Ga
licia. The Russians have made a
considerable advance on the lower
reaches of the San and have driven
the -Austro- Germans back to the Leng
river, while southwest of Lemberg.
the Austro- Germans are advancing,
although the Russians are contesting
every inch OF the roads to the Cali
clan capital, which is the objective of
the Teutonic allies:
French Claim Gains
The region north of Arras remains the
interesting point on the western front,
where the French claim to have gained
more ground and, according to their re-
port, have repulsed very violent German
counter-attacks. The Germans. on the
other hand, assert that they have repuls-
ed French attacks.
Italian Battle
The first important battle of the Italian
campaign is raging for possession of Toll
nino, where the Italians have met with
the first serious opposition in their ad-
vance across the Austrian frontier. 1tai-
ian warships have been busy destroying
cables and lighthouses in the Adriatic
and have again bombarded Monfalcone.
There has also been some naval activity
in the Baltic, Russian and German
squadrons exchanging shots in the vicin-
ity of the Gulf of Rica. Rumania is
going through a crisis similar to that eX-
perienced by Italy before the latter en-
tered the war Those who favor neu-
trality and those who favor war held
counter demonstrations at Bucharest to-
day and the political parties are getting
into shape to put forward their views.
The general opinion held in London is
that Rumania will join the Allies when
Italy gives the word, and that Bulgaria
will follow her lead.
With the King of Greece suffering a
relapse and in a serious condition, no
change in the attitude of that country is
expected Immediately.
