Give MT. Hill Credit.
Bridgeport Farmer).

MT. Hill shows more adaptability to changing conditions than Senator Me- Lean, though the latter is the young CT man. Senator Mclean has never come nearer to the present portion or the twentieth century than he did m his declaration that foreign goods are more to be feared than foreign guns.' MT. Hill until very recently also had the notion that the tariff was the issue, but now he knows better Twelve inch guns are the issue. MT Hill wants plenty of them. He is going to use them for letter car riers. He proposes to deliver Euro pean mail at the muzzles of them. Unfortunately MT. Hills new scheme for parcels post and general mail ser vice has not been worked out in de- tail. Whether he will shoot in a letter at a time at a time Or a whole bagful is not determined.
 MT. Hill has had experience in aid ing the postal service and is fertile in expedient.
 Being much in need of funds for election expenses in his last campaign. MT. Hill wrote an appeal pathetic enough to extract cash from a Bes- semer steel rail. Not desiring to trust so much hope to the mails, he de- livered his appeal in person into the hands of James A. Farrell, President of the Steel Trust who was stony hearted.
 MT. Hill will soon be running again. this time he can mail his appeal to MT. Farrell at the muzzle of twelve men gun. If that doesn't bring re- suits the case is hopeless.
 There is one issue which is ruitn up-to-date in MT. Hills district and that is the ten thousand dollars in campaign funds that was collected and expended for his election last fall little later MT. Hill may be willing to talk about that issue

For a generation an inhab of the city, for many years a carpenter, and for the last tWenty-four a master builder and contractor, he has brought much to New Britain. When Main street was little more than COW path he lived here, and when the city had grown to a marvellous extend he died. In passing he leaves many buildings of the city as monuments to his skill.

THE MOUNTED PLATOON

There will be no equestrian police platoon in the Swedish Singers parade We are assured of this by no less a person than E. G. Babcock, chairman of the Safety Board. Chair man Babcock does not desire the po- lice to make monkeys of themselves by climbing into the una accustomed saddles he says. Neither does he wish a squad of crippled officers vainly trying to cover their beats afoot after a strenuous ride. The chairman probably has the right idea but why deprive New Britain of the sight? The police, or whoever Originally planned the mounted squad, are keep ing it a deep secret as to from whence the mounts would be forthcoming. It is safe to say that a gorgeous col lection of equines would be amassed from the by-ways of our village. The combination would be irresistible. Someone is always taking the joy out of life"

 When somebody asked MT. Bryan in Chicago where he is reporting the republican convention, whether he would take the prohibition nomination for president, the reply was that he could do more to serve that cause by remaining in the democratic party. Certainly democratic love for prohibits tion stands in need of promotion. The former secretary of state, by the way, predicted the nomination of Hughes in his first letter. He makes the tour of the various headquarters like any other reporter. Everybody is dis posed to interview MT. Bryan, but the results are meager. He has been there too often of old to be caught now. He is still a democrat-very still," as the late David B. Hill once

London.-The successes of the en-
tente allies are following each other

news of further important gains for
them on both the western and east

Haig shows that the steady pressure
of the British arms is forcing an ever
deepening salient into the German
lines, and the commander-in-chief for
the first time produces evidence in

from the Germans giving testimony
as to the high price the Germans are
paying in casualties.
The British have improved their pO-
sition along almost the Whole of their
line of the battle front, capturing by
assault 1,5O0 yards of German second
line positions north of the Bazentin-
Le-Petit wood, strong German posi-
ton at the Waterloo farm between
Longuevale and Guillemont.
They also have completed the cap
ture of the whole of the village of
Ovillers- La Boiselles These gains
bring the British almost to the crest
of the Albert plateau, where stretches
the German third line.
News from the eastern front was
equally important. The Russian COM
mander, Gen. Kuropatkin, has
launched an offensive against Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg on the
Dvino river, and Gen. Won Linsingens
troops southwest of Lutsk have been
compelled to retire behind the Lipa
river, while in the course Of Sun

SLAMS captured an additional 10000
prisoners and thirty guns. 49, !.
