Failing in this. a German army has

SLATED AS A DIRECTOR
 OF NEW HAVEN New Interest in. Annual Meeting of Stockholders
 Held Today.
HOPE FOR REVENUE
 FROM THEIR SHARES
Financial Troubles Do Not Bear So Heavily Since Gov
 ernment Took Control.

New Haven, April 17-There was a new angle of interest for the stock holders of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad who met here in annual session today. Financial trou- bles did not bear down so hard as at metings in recent years, the federal government having taken over the property and assumed the $43, ,000,0 of floating indebtedness which had been represented by short term notes.
 The topic of discussion among the early corners was as to the prospective returns on the shares of the com pany. The annual report for the joint calendar and fiscal years ending Dec. 31, was distributed yesterday. A change in bylaws made the last year one of six months length, as books have heretofore closed June 30 with the annual meeting in October.
 The meeting had before it the prop ositions to issue $16, 1000 indeben- ture bonds to refund or repay certain indebtedness; to authorize the raising of funds for extensions; betterments and equipments; and to ratify an agreement with the United States government regarding compensation for use and operation of the com pany's property.
 Eli Whitney of New Haven retired from the directorate.
 The ballot proposed Walter B Lashar of Bridgeport in MT. Whitney's place. Otherwise the board member ship was unchanged.
 Attendance was light when Presi- dent B. J. Pearson called to order less than 50 persons being in the hall
 A brief review of operations of the road, improvement, economies and financing was made by MT. Pearson tC amplify the annual report.

DUTCH PREPARED
 TO ACCEPT J. s.
 GRAIN PROPOSAL

Amsterdam, April 1.-The Dutch government is prepared to accept the American proposal to send three ship loads of grain to Holland on condi- ton that Holland sends three ships of about the same tonnage to America, Dr. Loudon, the foreign minister, an- nounced in the second chamber yes terday.
 According to the Telegraaf the minister added:
 Holland must, however. have the certainty that the three ships will reach America. The government has reason to assume that Germany will place no impeachment in their way It has, however, asked Germany as to her intentions, but has not yet re- ceived a reply"
 Dr. Loudon announced that he had been informed by the Anglo-American governments that Dutch ships enter ing British or American ports after April 20 would not be seized. He said he regarded the word of the Anglo American powers as a sufficient guar antee.
