done and intends doing in the future
to insure safety, and referred to the
financial handicap under which he said
the line has operated. The watchword
of the New Haven. he declared, should
be Efficiency, Economy, Safety, Cour-
tesy and Publicity"
Safety Movement Here to Stay.
This safety movement on the New
Haven is here to stay" he said, ''and
we are to make the New Haven a
synonym for all that is excellent and
safe in the railroad world"
Turning to financial conditions, Mr..
Elliott said:
For the last two years the COM
pany has been in dire financial straits.
1t has been compelled to introduce the
severest economies in all departments
and even greater economies must be
introduced and continued for an in
definite period.
Remedial Legislation.
81 have been very busy for a year
and more trying to obtain remedial
legislation in Connecticut, Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island, which would
lead to primary steps for funding the
debt of the company at a reduced rate
of interest. 1 am glad to say that
the legislation has been recently pass
ed. The work on these matters has
resulted in a better understanding of
the general situation by the public
and by the stockholders and bondhold-
ers of the company and the respon-
sibility devolving upon them in the
care of their property. The legisla-
tive sessions have ended with improved
and more cordial relations between the
company, the public, many business
organizations and the representatives
of the state governments, which is a
source of qualification to the company
and a Valuahl asset for the future.
New Constructive Course.
"A most important result of the
yassing of these laws is that they
mark a starting out of a course of con-
structive work in helping to build up
the New Haven road and the New
England transportation business, the
success of which is so essential of New
England is to go forward in agricul-
ture, manufacturing and commerce..

STEAMER AND YACHT
COLLIDE IN THE SOUND
George n. Kendrick of Boston Killed
and Three Persons Injured.

New York, June 13-In a collision
between the passenger steamer Bunker
Hill and C. K. G. Billings steam yacht
Vanadis in a dense fog off Hunt s
Point on Long Island sound tonight,
George H. Kendrtck, of Boston, and a
seaman, were killed and three persons
were injured. Both vessels were bad
ly damaged and accompanied by tugs,
made for New York. where the Bunker
Hill arrived shortly before midnight.
Mr.. Kendrick was killed in his state
room over the dining room in the
crash between the yacht and the
Sound steamer, which left here early
tonight for Boston with about $50 pas
sengers on board. The bow of the
Vanadis penetrated the side of the
steamer making a hole three feet
above the water line abaft the beam
on the port side. Many of the pas
sengers were in the dining room when
the crash came and the nose of the
yacht jammed into the room.
Those injured in the crash were:
May Wightman. of 81 Chancery
Lane, Boston; crushed right foot;
taken to Hotel Belmont in this city,
where she had been stopping before
leaving for Boston on the steamer.
Mrs. Martha Waugh of Philadelphia;
fractured arm; taken to the Hudson
Street hospital here.
John C. Bell of New York,scalp
wounds went to his home.
Besides the passengers who jumped
overheard, one OF the employees on the
boat was thrown into the Sound by
the impact of the collision and was
picked up by the Vanadis.
The excitement on board the Bun
ker Hill was short-liVed and at no time
amounted to a panic, passengers said.
Arrangements were made by the line
to take the Bunker Hills passengers
by rail to Boston.
A wireless report received here
from the Vanadis at a late hour said
that she had on board of body of a
member of the Bunker Hills crew. The
man, the report stated, was picked up
by the Vanadis after he had been
swept overheard by the shock of the
collision and died on board the yacht
from injuries. The message gave his
name as John Brown.

RoME'S REVIEW OF
FIRST OFFENSIVE MOVE
Troops Have Occupied Submits ant
Defiles on the Trentino.

Rome. June ~, via Paris, June 10
An official note which sums up the
first offensive movement of the army,
follows:
In the Trentino zone our forces
went resolutely forward, correcting, at
least in part, -strategical inconvenience
OF unfavorable frontier such as were
imposed upon us after the campaign
of 1856.
Our brave mounted troops have oc-
cupied defleS and SUBMITS, the names
of which recall unfCrgottable exploits
by the brave combatants in Trentino
half century ago. A powerful ar
tillery crowns the SUBMITS and plG
teaus from where operations more vast
can be carried out later. 1t is batter
ing effectively forts of the enemy con-
sidered, up to the present time, al
most impregnable and already has de-
molished some of them.
In the upper Cadore recollections
of Fortunate Calviare evoked by the
occupation of Cortina and other i'm
pOrtant points. Thus not only are
closed all routes for invasion by the
enemy but gradually there is being
opened the way of an offensive action
as soon as this is regarded opportune
In the Carnia zone our Alpine
troops are solidly established on i'm
portant detles. holding them against
repeated counter-a attacks by the enc
my.
I'm the eastern F'riuli zone our ad-
vance forces are developing greater
contact with the enemy progressively
overcoming obstacles not to be de-
spised."
The note adds that from results OBJ
tained, the excellence of the army must
give rise to optimistic errors of ap-
probation concerning the present war
which is severe and difficult.

PRESS OF EUROPE
ON RECENT NOTE
Editorials of German Newspapers of
Interest in Washington.

Washington, June 13.-Comment by
the press of Europe on the recent
American note to Germany attracted
much attention in official and diplo-
matte circles here today and in the
absence of information concerning the
probable attitude of the German gov
ernment it was the chief subject for
speculation.
The editorials of the German press
were read with particular interest by
officials who drew much encourage
ment from the references to the friend
ly tone of the American note. High
officials have felt that if a spirit of
friendliness could be maintained
throughout the negotiations the eff
forts of the United States to convince
Germany of the legality of the Amer
lean position ultimately would be sue
cessful. The careful phrasing of the
last Ameracn note is known to have
had the purpose of stating the de-
mands Of the United States very earn
estly, but in such a fashion as would
not make embarrassing for Germany
to meet the American position in a
way satisfactory to her own public
opinion as we'll as the United States.
The important thing which officials
thought they CLEANED from the press
comment and otheh utterances was
the fact that the German government
was no more desirous of adding the
United States to its list of enemies
than the United States was of par
ticipating in the European conflict.

NOTE WELL RECEIVED
Action of Secretary in Withdrawing
Had'tBeen Interpreted to Mean That
the Mote Would Be Rather Blunt.

Be1lin, June 13. Via London, s.55 D.
m.-sThe Sunday morning newspapers
OF Berlin generally profess inability to
! Understand the motives prompting
william Jennings Bryan to retire from
the post of secretary of state.
The Morgen Post says: '"The form
er secretary seems to have less con-
ndenGe~ than we in the honest desire
OF the American govrnment to ar
r!Yefat peaceful compromise with US
Mr.. Bryan is convinced that Presi-
Gent Wilson and his government will
finally appeal to force We are not
| now disposed to believe this but will
await events"
Unable to Understand Appeal to
American People,
The Boersen Zeitung says: "Bryan's
resignation has been interpreted as
indicating that the note would be
rather blunt, which, however, in no
wise is the case. The note shows, on
| the contrary, an outSpoken tendency to
reach an understanding with Ger
Germany on the issues involved. If
therefore, Bryan desires to he the rep
| resentative of peaceful efforts in op-
position to the jingoistic tendency of
the American government we really
do not know on what ground he will
base his assertion
The Boersen Zeitung terms Mr.
Bryan's proclamation to the people
even harder to understand than is his
resignation.
Suspects Political Differences.
The Tageblatt suspects that practi-
cal political diffedences played a part
in the resignation of the secretary,
saying: TT may safely be assumed
that Bryan did not leave office in or
der to withdraw himself from politi-
cal life"
The Reichbote commenting on the
was subdued following Bryan's SEN
sational resignation@or Bryan desired
to take advantage of an opportunity
to escape easily from a situation which
no longer was pleasant"
Thinks Bryan Was Hasty.
The Deutsche Rundschau says: aft

that Mr.. Bryan either was hasty or
else other reasons yet unknown de-
cided his action

Toronto, Ont, June 1s;-L0uisa
Marksfelt, a girl of 19. who has been
under arrest here since May 26, has

Petrograd, June 13, Via London, 1886
p. Unofficial reports received here
from the army headquarters in the
Caucasus says that the Russians are
pushing the Turks back in the di-
rection of Olti and are occupying the
Turkish positions. A heavy counter
attack made by the Turks at Zintch-
er was repulsed.
The dispatches say that during a.

In the three weeks that have elaps-

Italy on Austria, the Italian forces
have been making slow but steady
progress. The Italian efforts al
present are being directed mainly al

val station. a thesir great objective
The Italians already have occupied
important strategic points along the
1sonzo river, which they have crossed
and for several days a battle of real
ly large proportions has been in
progress in this section of Austrian
territory.
Austrian Arsenal Destroyed.
From the Italian side it is reported
that PLAYA has been occupied but this
is denied by the Austrian war office
Pola has been visited by an Italian
airship, and, according to unofficial
reports, the arsenal has been destroyed
by bombs.

to aid their defences guarding Gori-
zia, Triest and other important towns,
against which the Italians are ad-
vancing. The Notifications defending
Gorilla have been heavily bombarded
and communications between Gorilla
and the rest OF the empire have been
cut with the exception of a mountain
rnad.
Italian Movement Under Full Swing.
It is expected that the Italian move
mept, which Is now getting under full
swing, will necessitate the bringing of
heavy Austrian or German forces from
other battle fronts, for the Austro-
italian frontier is large and the
italian troops and artillery are pres
sing forward in great members.
French Continue Offensive.
The French continue their offensive,
particularly in the neighborhood of
Arras, without cessation. They re-
poft the capture of a ridge at Souchez,
north of the sugar refinery, also held
by the French. This ridge was strong
ly organized by the Germans, but was
taken by assault
Near Febuterne a series of Ger
man trenches We're captured by the
French accordin gto their report, al
though the German war office merely
makes reference to the fact that in
fartry engagements are being fought
there.
In Eastern War Zone.
The situation in the eastern war
zone is somewhat probIematical, both
sides claiming advantages but at diff
ferent points. Both Germans and
Russians claim to have taken vast
numbers of prisoners.
The German newspapers generally
commenting on the American rejoiner
to the German note respecting the Lu-
sitapia and submarine warfare, favor
the opinion that the note opens the
way for further negotiation and that
