FOR BETTER PROTECTION
..New Hasen,' Road OAicials Agree to
 Install System of Bando wazzhng 7 Signals at Uayton.

Following the conference yesterday afternoon between city onlcials and New Haven road representatives, 1t was announced that some much need improvements in grade crossing protection are. to be made. The rail- road men assured the city oficals that banjo signals will be installed at the. dangerous Clayton crossing. Washington street crossing as we'll as certain other particularly dangerous railroad crossings In this city were discussed and improvements suggest- cd.
 The railroad men expressed con- siderable opposition to any plan
 which would call for the construc- ton of elevated towers for gate ten- ders at the crossings. Some of the
 city officials thought that by having the gate tenders up in such tower
 he would be able to see over the top of any passing train and see whether
 or not another train was approach
 ing. Railroad men thought this ad- vantage would be negligible and ex- plained that with the gate mon on the ground they are of much assist
 ance in helping women and children across the tracks when they become confused.
 . There was also some discusston re- gArding the straightening of Lake street between High and Washington streets and thus eliminating part of the crossing. The railroad men stated that If Lake street was laid out be- fore the railroad was built the city would have to pay only a quarter of the expense. On the other hand if tho railroad was built before the street was laid out the company would expect the city to stand half the expense.

HOW ONE MAN HAS
CHANGED

~ HE war has brought about
VI many changes in the feel
ings of our people as
shown by the fact that one of
the members of the American
Congressional party now in
Europe voted three years ago
for the white feather" McLe-
more resolution. That resolu-
ton if it had been adoted
would have denied to Ameri-
cans all rights upon the sea
save those the kaiser saw fit to
grant.
The fact that one of the con-
gressmen who voted to scuttle
American rights is now willing
to risk his life crossing the oce-
an to learn how our congress
may be of service in the war,
shows that his previous mistake
was of the head and not the
heart. If he finds what other
reliable American travellers
have found he will come back
rejoicing that the majority
party in congress under Presi-
dent Wilson's leadership was
able to defeat the McLemore
resolution, thus saving the
country from going on record
as a nation unwilling or unable
to protect its citizens in their
rights and freedom.

fact is interesting because it
shows that the boys are making

sort of a club which constitutes
in a way a link between the
army and the soldiers previous

of value to the soldier not only
in a social and moral way but
it also serves to sustain and i'm
prove his physical status. There
is a relationship as all men
know between moral we'll be-
ing and individual physical eff
ficiency.
The campaign for funds for
the army Y. NJ. c. A. merits
the support of all who want to
render service to the boys in
the camps or at the front. The
organization is under RESPONSE

AMERICA TO HELP ITALY

~ HE announcement from
VI Washington, D. c., that
the United States would
have an important part in the
measures taken to relieve the
hard-pressed Italian army may
mean that American troops
which have been training for
months in France will be rush
ed across the Maritime Alps to
face the advancing Teutons.
Also it may mean that the store
of guns and munitions which
the expeditionary army has
been assembling in France
may be devoted to Italian uses
and that the entrance of Am
erican troops into the conflict
may be fastened. The Ameri-
can military leaders discreetly
decline to give an inkling of the
measures to be taken, but the
hopeful air indicates that the
steps are considered to be ade-
quate.
Since the Teutonic armies
started their successful drive
against the Italian forces it is
recalled that so long ago as

was given out at Washington
