The report comes from Massachu- setts that surveyors are out again. working on the Southern New England division of the Grand Trunk road. This is taken to mean finishing the road that for two years has been lying across the State as a monument of imbecile management.
 The people of Providence had it in for the New Haven" whether right or wrong is not for us to say, though we can guess. Along came the Grand Trunk people and undertook to build road from Palmer to Providence, nominally to enable the Grend Trunk to use the Sound for through freight. Now this same Grand Trunk, through it's lease of the New London Northern already had a Sound route, via New London, which we may remark has the finest harbor on the coast" If the road were to establish a line of
 boats to Providence, they would have to go around Point Judith every trip with it's expense and risk.
 The only economy" visible in the scheme was either to be bought off by the New Haven" or else to ojen a freight war in Providence-and freight wars are injudicious economy When the New Haven" got into trouble, the new route seemed to weaken, too. Much was done, but not enough to carry cars, and the entertainments and ditches have been there with their suggestive lesson in the art of wasting other peo- ple's money.
 It has been reported from Washing ton that hereafter under MT. McAdoo's supervision no railroad money would
 be spent in wasteful outlays If so, then these surveyors will have to look to somebody else for their pay. The warfare between the New Haven'' and the Grand Trunk was a choice specimen of how not to do things. The "New Haven" went to all that ex-
 pense to build across the Connecticut and back above South Vernon, because

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A surnriss in Store

Mir. Editor: would point out to Uncle Billie" that there is differ ence between answering a challenge and having the last word. I have no wish to enter a newspaper controversy but converting Uncle Billies" to suf- frage is right in my line and if he is really anxious for information about the results of woman suffrage I will gladly furnish him with literature.
 The attacks, anonymous and other wise. upon the patriotism of suffra- Sists. collectively and individually, are becoming systematized in this state. We may some time think it wise to defend ourselves. When that time comes, I will be glad to give "Un- ele Billie" information that will sur prise him.

the country for beekeepers But nearly all who keep bees as a side issue are unfamiliar with the rules which insure success in the honey business. The special appropriation of two thousand dollars under considera- tion in the General Assembly, if voted, is to be expended upon expert instruc- tion and practical demonstrations. If rightly used there is no doubt that it will increase the incomes of many in the State and also add materially to the local food supply-Providence Bulletin.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Instead of. five hundred beekepers
 Rhode Island ought to have five thou saild instead of sixty thousand pounds of honey a year, there ought to be a production of more than half million pounds. The bee industry is a de- serving of encouragement as the plant ing of corn, cabbage, beans and po- tatoeS. Honey ranks high on the list of food products, and in nearly every part of Rhode Island the conditions are favorable for the finest grades. Rhode Island flowers are among the best in

The losses appeared to be excessive

War Summary
>,tBy The Associated Press)

h German lines along the Suippe
river, In he Champagne sector, in
France, have collapsed. Progress
made by the F4ench during the past
day in this part of the battle front
would seem to indicate that the en-
emy's retreat ,northward is more Of
a flight than an orderly retirement.
French forces are reported to have
reached the Retourne river between
Houdilecourt and Sault st. Remy.
Houdilecourt is less than four miles
east of Neufchatel, one Of the princi-
pal German bases back of the Cham
payne front. This advance brings the
French up to within two and one-hali
miles OF the Aisne river and threat
ems the railroad line that parallels
that stream. Further east, the
French have not advanced so swiftly
but nave made good progress,
Near the Argoune forest General
Gouraud's men have swept north
ward and r officially reported to be
less than two miles from Vouzieres,
an important railroad Junction. They
are near sugnyy and have almost
reached Machau1t. \
French and Italians have moved
rapidly along the Chemin des Danes
and northward from the Aisne. They
have reached the vicinity of Allies,
which is on the ridge between the ALL
cite and Aisne, southeast Of Laon.
Blazing villages in the valley Of the
Disc are reported in the official state
ment of the French war office. This
refers to the section in the vicinity
of La Fere where the first German
regiment was reported yesterday.
These fires are looked upon as evil
dence that the enemy is preparing
to abandon that region as well sas the
high wooded massif OF st. Gobain to
the south.
East of st. Quentin and Cambria
the French. British and Americans
are still moving eastward, but their
advance is being retarded by German
rear guards. The Allied progress,
however, appears to be rapid enough
to threaten serious results to the Ger
man armies to the south which are
also menaced by the collapse of the
enemy lines in the Champagne sec
tor.
Between Lens and Douai the Brit
ish are sweeping forward over a side
front and have moved up to within
striking distance of Douai and Lille.
From the Argonne forest eastward
