Honor the soldiers memory
A nation glorifes the way
BY tributes choice and flowery
On sacred memorial day.
All that thou could give was given
II thy life through battle was lost
Reward there may be in Heaven
With holy angels for thy host.
Thy great work was for freedoms cause
That old glory a guard should be
Let future generations pause
To thy honor with bended knee.
No matter what the race OF man
Their freedom was then bought
With L.incoln's proclamation plan
And the battles the soldiers fought.
Pay thy tribute OF sweet flowers
To the graves Of silent dead
For this free land to-day Is ours
Bought with blood those brave men she'd.

CENTRAL VERMONT
WANTS A BIG LOAN
Thirty Millions Would Be Used to Re
habil1tate Road and Complete
Southern New England.

BOSTON, May 15.-''Any construc-
tive plan intended to lead to improve
ment and rehabilitation of the Cen
tral Vermont and to put the Southern
New England into commission is de-
cidedly in the public INTEREST," said
Chairman Macleod of the public ser
vice commission while testifying be-
fore the committee on railroads. CAS-
1t stands now, the Southern New Eng
land IS a blot upon the landscape and
serves no useful purpose"
Mr.. Macleod made this statement
while speaking on the proposed ac-
QUESTION by the Central Vermont rail
way company of the shares of the
Southern New England railroad now
held by the Grand Trunk railroad. To
accomplish the desired purpose, Presi-
dent +. G. Smith of the Central Yer
mont introduced the two bills heard
Friday. One would authorize the Cen
trail Vermont to acquire and the Grand
Trunk to transfer the Southern New
England, and the other asks for leg
islative sanction of a $l2 100000 mort
gage of the New London Northern
railroad to the American Trust com
pany, made by the Central Vermont in
May, 1889.
Chairman Macleod said that the
general proposition of the transfer of
the Southern New England was ac-
ceptablc to his commission. Still, he
asked for an extension Of time for 4
few days so that the details of thu
bills might he studied before the com
mission committed itself regarding the
form of the bills.
Thomas w. kenifeck conducted the
case for the Central Vermont. With
regard to the mortgage bill, he said
that at the time Of the execution Of
the mortgage Of the New London
Northern, it was not considered neces-
sary to secure legislative approval un-
der the circumstances. a loan of $50
OO0Oo0 is being negotiated for with
New York bankers for rehabilitation
OF the Central Vermont. he said. and
the bankers wish to have the New
London mortgage validated by the
legislature
Part Of the $3O,000,00O is to be
used to complete and equip the South
ern New England if the transfer to
the Central Vermont is accomplished
he said. The Grand Trunk is and has
been unable for several reasons to fl
nance the Southern New England con
struction operation. Under the bro
posed plan, the securities of the
Southern New England will continue
TO be guaranteed bv the Grand Trunk
inasmuch as the Grand Trunk con
trolls the Central Vermont through
stock ownership.
President Smith and Attorney John
w. Redmond made brief statements in
support of the bills and the hearing
was closed after an invitation for CD
ponents to speak met with no re-
Spouse.

HOPE TO ACQUIRE
ST. PIERRE COLONY
French Island Group May Pass to
British as a Result of the
War in Europe.

ST. JOHN S, y. f, May I5.-The pos
sibility Of the acquisition Of the
French colony of St. Pierre bv New
foundland is being discussed in official
circles, as result of conditions arts
lng from the European conflict.
The idea was suggested by the re
cent negotiations which led to the re
taxation for the term Of the war OF
the so-called bait act by the New
foundIand government, in view of the
shortage of fish in France The bait
act was put in force in 1880, and pro.
hibited the selling of herring to the
French fishermen, whose Headquarters
were at st. Pierre.
With the advent of the war France
withdrew the last of her fishermen
from this side Of the Atlantic, result
ing in a critical shortage of fish a.
home. 1t was decided to allow buy
ers from st. Pierre TO purchase New
foundland herring, on the condition
that the fish should not be used fol
bait, but should be devoted solely t
food purposes.
Within the next few months thou
sands of barrels Of herring, it is ex
pected, vii; be shipped to St. Pierre
This concession, it Is believed in some
circles, will pave the way to a read
iustment of the whole fisheries aues
ton after the war, and possibly to ne
gotiations toward the taking over OF
st. Pierre by Newfoundland.

AERO-M0T0RS USED IN WAR

Fast Machines to Use as

An ingenious combination of aero.
plane and motor car is now being used
by the French army for the purpose
Of transporting troops and food and
ammunition supplies across swamp
country. deserts and sandy ground
These aerO-mOtcrs are driven by an
eight-fOot propeller which rovolves in
the rear Of a four-whceIed car at a
speed Of 1000 revolutions a minute.
The propeller is driven by an engine
which operates the rear wheels of the
vehicle as well as the air-screw.
The advantages Of the invention are
that it causes the motor car to light
ly skim over soft ground at a speed
Of so miles an hour; the tired wheels
of the vehicle DO not dig into soft soil.
for they brush lightly over it, as
they DO not have to grip the earth
to force the car on its path; wher
