BIG SHIPPING TRANSACTION.

There is almost as much political commercial in

few days. whereby control of the international Mercantile
Marine company passed from ]. P. Morgan Co. to the
American international corporation. This organization
formed months ago with $50OO0O0O capital by
the National City Bank of New York and associated in
erests to promote foreign trade Stock control of the
shipping interests known as the Morgan trust,
that the American international corporation will
attempt do what the elder Morgan failed to accomplish
About fifteen years ago the Morgan company endeav-
ored to organize corporation to take majority OF
the transatlantic lines Financially the plan succeeded

The International Mercantile Marine company in

out of English hands Many stories have been told rela

Letters From, the People
For National Defense.

Evening Capital News-I want to
write few lines about national de-
Tense, Can you help sti- up congress to
do something for adequate defense? We
have lived under the protection OF the
British navy for more than % years
and it may fail or turn against us over
some blockade squabble. We need a
military system like Switzerland has
and thoroughly fortified coast with
plenty of guns and ammunition-no
half done work, for we will have no
half prepared foes. To talk about our
fourth class navy as our first line oil
defense is only trifling. The best we
can do is to balance 1t up and make it
us effective as practicable. thoroughly
terrifying all the important coast cities
and making it so the navy can choose
its time for attack, or run, whichever
suits her interest best. If a thousand
million dollar loan for defense will
keep us from war. better make the
loan, as war would cost US many thou
sands of millions and might lose us our
self government besides.

Jack Frost,s Bluff Fails

I've DECIDED that we win have q
very late spring this year." said Jack
Frost in his most pompous fashion.
THAT soT' asked the trees In the
forest
Just So" replied Jack Frost I'm
tired OF rushing off to the north pole
simply because April has arrived.
This year intend to stay just as
long as | please. which will be into
June at least"
THAT so?" asked a tiny violet plant
that was hidden so far under the
leaves and rubbish of the winter, one
would have thought Its words would
never be heard.
'Just So" replied Jack Frost posi-
lively. and moreover there's no
use in your planning to bloom for
many a week. There are still whole
package of storms and billiards and
freezes and blows that have in re-
serve. You'll have no chance to
bloom; the leaves viii not dare to
bud these many weeks" And he
whistled and sang thru the trees to
prove that he knew what he was talk
ing about.
"That so?" asked the tiny leaf
buds at the ends of the twigs and
branches.
Just So" replied Jack Frost
nerceiy, for It must be admitted that
he did not fancy the tone of voice
in which all these questions were
asked. Moreover, If you start SWELL
ing and growing one tiny bit, I'll
freeze you 80 tight that you can't
grow again this whole summer-so
there!"
And he thought that would settle
all talk.
But Il didn't-no siri
For all the time Jack Frost was
talking, Old Mr.. Sun was climbing
higher and higher to the sky. And
old Mother Wind was blowing the
clouds faster and faster out OF the
way so that he could shine his hard
est. And the air was getting warmer
and warmer and warmer, till at last.

trouble is often due to errors OF re-
fraction or to arrangement of the
muscular apparatus of the eye. The
resulting eye strain, whilst the land
scape is passing rapidly by, then re-
acts refexly on the digestive appa-
ratus. These eye defects should be
corrected by the eye specialist. Clos

take ten grains of sodium bromide
several days before your trip and diet

SERIOUS TIEuP IN

(special to The Bulletin.l ,


 Special to The BuHetin.)
 Danielson, June Mot a wheel will turn on the locae division of the Shore Line Electric railway this morning, for tGe first time since the road has been constructed, IT years ago. The last vile just before o'clock this morning, and with its arrival there the last crew quit work until such time as the differ ences between the company and its car crews are adjusted. Officials op- erating the lines from Worcester to West Thompson were notified late Wednesday night that there would be no connections southward from West Thompson this morning. It was an- nounced by an official of tfae company that no effort will be made today to operate cars between West Thompson and Central Village. Special officers will be placed on duty at the Dayville power house this morning and prob ably will remain there until such time as the strike is settled. This precau- ton is not taken, however, in antici- patton of any disturbance by members of the striking forces, for they are a high class of employees and will not under any circumstances indulge in any violations of the law. Arrange mentS have been made by the trolley company to maintain the government mail contracts between DanielSon and | 1 piles, and this morning about 1000 l quarts of milk usually sent from Dan i ielson to Providence by trolley express will be handled between Danielson and the Rhode Island line by motor trucks. | At midnight "Wednesday the number of | jCtney operators alert to their oppor- i tunities had planned to be on hand at 5.30 this morning to transport passen- gers who usually take the first morn- l ing car to go to their work in various factories in different villages of the town. A jitney service also this morn ing will be inaugurated between Dan- ielson and Putnam and between Dan ielson and Central Village. It is ex- pected that there will be rush to clean up profits and a score of ma
 oE'dnes will be engaged in the service
 before noon today, so it will be possi-
 ble to get from town to town. although
 the service may not be as regular as
 that maintained by the trolley com l pdhy.
 Men who went on strike Wednesday night had no statements to give out They simply said that i've have quit and no more They as well as the pu'b- Ilic are anxious for prompt adjust
 ment of the difhculties, and this is ex- pected within a short time.
