TIE NEW HAVEN CHANGE.

When President Howard Elliott oi the New Haven road retires from that position on the first of May, he will have completed term of service which is highly creditable both to the road and himself. He was called to the stupendous task of helping the New Haven out of one of the great est tangles that it had ever e0peri- enced. It was fully understood that it was no ordinary problem that con- fronted whoever accepted the place at the head of the system. but in. addi- ton to what was known at the time there have been other features added since. because Of federal and state complications, which have increased the difhculties in adjusting the affairs of the company.
 Notwithstanding that President El- iott has adjusted himself to the task, he has made it apparent to everyone who has given any thought to the sit Oation that he has introduced sound methods of business and that his poll icy was a constructive and safe one He has succeeded in reestahlishing not only the confidence of the federal and state authorities in the management which he has given but also that of the general public. He has been open handed and above board and in the brief time that he has been at the head of the system he has accomplish cd much in laying a firm foundation for the complete reestabllshment of the system so that 1t will be of great CT benefit to New England and a prof itable investment for it's stockholders. His was a hard up hill struggle but because of that he has won all the more credit for his accomplishments, and he still promises to be of much assistance on the board of directors.
 As his successor E. J. Pearson Is a man of wide experience. He has had Q years acquaintance with the sys- tenn and its requirements. The way has been paved for his administra- ton but he likewise has the ability to deal with the particular problems of the road, and they still exist in sufficient number. though there is every reason to look with confidence upon the future of the road under his di- rectfon.

 Still another pilot mounted a fast new machine and deliberately allow ed a German to get on his trail. Then he suddenly iooped behind his adves- sary and caught him just within the sights. The burst of fire killed the German instantly. The machine swerved and the dead man pitched out ten thousand feet from the ground.
 The fighting was all within the en- emy territory. Several British ma chimes had bullet holes through their wings but sailed home unaided and took the air again in the morning.

 Guam wss discovered by Magellan during his historic voyage of 1521 when the ship which he commanded up to the time of his death succeeded in eircumnavigating the globe. Mis- sionaries reached the island a century and a half later.
 Although the island lies within the

 'NThe natices of Guam are, as a rule. of good physique and pleasing appear ance. Most of them have glossy black hair which is either straight or slight ly curly. They are essentially an ag-

 Practically none of the natives de- bends for his livelihood on his handi- work or his trade. There are men who can make shoes. tan leather: and such a thing as d Chamorra shoe maker, tanner, stone-mason or mer- chant who supports himself and his family by his trade is unknown.

 ''one of the peculiar customs of the natives in former times was their method of catching fish by the use of intoxicants. From the fruit of na- tive tree they would make a paste which they enclosed in bags. These bags would be placed in holes in a coral reef at low tide and at high tide the fish would float to the surface in great quantities-some lifeless and others merely stupefied, but all easily gathered by the expert swimmers.
 Tn the fnangrove swamps of the island at low tide hundreds of small fish with protruding eyes hop about in the mud and climb among the roots of trees. The air-bladders of this species have developed to such an ex- tent that in measure they now per- form the function of lungs. enabling the strange fish, animals to breathe the air.

CARING FOR TIE INDIANS,

One of the things which has a1- ways been the cause of much trouble for the government is the problem of caring for It's Indian wards. It has by no means been a4 snviable task. It has been susceptible to many mis-
 been made. Ideas as to how their af-
 fairs should be Administered have
 changed many times. New commits
 sioners have held different views than
 their predecessors. Changes have
 been made with the view to improve
 nent but the result of this experf-
 ss1entation has been that the Tpdians
 have suffered about as often as they
 have benefited. This of course cannot
 be charged up to design but the result of the manner in which the plans have
 worked out and the advantage which has been taken of them by those who have been seeking to serve their own ends and who cared not how 1t was done as long as they got what they were seeking.
 The result has been that the Indians have been forced to hope for the best and to take what they could get. Now new policy has been announced by the commissioner Of Indian affairs which the commissioner believes win mean the dawn of c new era for the Indians.
 According to this plan. every Indian henceforth, as soon as he is believed to be competent to handle his own af- fairs as well as the average white man handles his. will be given fuil control of his lands. money and other property. This will place him upon his own feet. he will be dependent up- on himself and the wasting or saving of what belongs to him will rest on his shoulders. This will mean of course that the government respon- sibiIity will be increased in many re- spects since it will be obligated to determine tho capacity of each one for looking after his own property, but | t should nevertheless be the incentive | Tor causing the Indian to take a deep | IT interest in such matters and bet er hia nYEn cnndifior1

LETTERS TO HE .-EDl!0|
Feminine Interest Not Sufficiently
 Aroused,

MT. Editor: On my recent return from New York, where the women are up and doing for the cause of patriot ism, l was quite chagrined to learn that feminine interest in Norwich is not so keenly arouse as might be expected. the National League for Woman's s Service has it's headquarters in New York, were always flied with workers who were planning and arranging for work. Last Thursday. on Recruiting day. the committee arranged to have automobile parties all over New York and Brooklyn, and every other corner or so found a woman speaking earnest ly for a few minutes. urging on young America the needs of the navy.
 In Lord & Taylor's a good sized DOT ton of the fourth floor was given over to a committee of ladies who packed comfort kits for the French and Ital- ian soldiers in the trenches. All the passersoy were urged to stop a While and help tie up packages, and many woman on shopping intent forgot her purchasing and remained to do her little bit in this way.
 Every church has flag flying from it's doors. and many of them show the choir loft, or even standing by the pulpit or altar. Patriotism is every where, and the women are not behind their husbands and brothers in show ing the proper spirit.
 I was surprised to learn that only about one-tenth of the $50 blanks is sued for service registration have been returned to our local headquar- ters, and hope that this brief word as to what other women in other states are doing will jog our own towns women to what is only their duty at the present crisis.

STORIES OF THE WAR
1s,ooo Fee. Above the Earth.

The intensely bitter ground fighting of the past two days has been re- ffected in the aid and the British Roy al Flying Corps Monday established 8 new record by bringing down forty German machines. Fifteen of these were actually seen to crash, while twenty-five collapsed or fell in spin ming nose dives. completely out o1 control
 The fights took place 15,8o0 feet in the air, from which distance it Is barely possible to see the ground and wholly impossible to see an adversary crash unless the pilot deliberately fol- lows down.
