The Vice President

a dignity and seriousness quite apart

In the early years Of the repub-

TO name for the Office the best man

RUSSIAN VICTORIES.

Modern Russia's first great military victory was gained at Po1tava 211 years ago today. It was on July s, 17os that the Russian army led by Peter the Great decisively defeated the troops of Charles XII. of Sweden in the marshes and swanps of the Russian Empire. During the invasion of Russia by the powerful Swedish monarch prior to this battle the Russians had been bested and driven back.
 At the head of about 5000 vet erans King Charles pursued the flee ing foe with such rapidity and reck- lessness that his forces got out of hand and became immeshed in the swamps and marshes of the treacher- ogs.s country. There the Russian Bear made a stand and a feroeious battle ensued. Under Peter the Great the Russian troops fought braveiy and successfully and the end of the battle found the Swedish King fleeing from the field with a routed army. The Russian victory at Poftava ranks among the greatest in history,

NEW HAVEN ROAD SHOWS FILING UP
 OF BIG DEFICIT

New Haven, July 8-R Refecting the traffic difficulties encountered in May growing out of the railway switch mems outlaw strike and the general freight congestion. the New Haven Railroad showed only small margin above expenses and taXes-net opera ton income being but $19,616 against s567, ,416 in May, 1916.
 Although there is now possibly slowing down in traffic due to indus tial curtailment in New England, the business which has, recently been offering the New Haven has been really beyond the ability of the road to handle efficiently.
 Gross in every month since F'ebru- ary, when storms very badly inter fered with traffic, has shown steady expansion over 1919. In May the in- crease amounted to $1,492,722, or 17.5 per cent. For the five months ended May S1 gross was s6,348,765 ahead of the corresponding period last year. gain of 16.4 per cent.
 But the great increase in operating expenses entirely nullified this gain in gross so that the road ran up a big operating deficit of $4,172.863, against a deficit of only s5s0. 657 for the first five months of 1919.
 The standard return to the NeW Haven for six months amounts to approximately ss,625, 1000, so that the government will sustain a heavy loss on the New Haven. In 1919 it lost approximately $7,000,00O on opera tion of the system under the railroad administra tion and in 1918 about $S,000,00O.
 June results for the road should be considerably better. for traffic condi- tions have improved, says the Boston News Bureau. The New Haven has been steadily whiting away at the big excess of foreign cars on the system and has brought the number down near to normal, which, including the company's own cars should be around 43,000. When cars on the system rise very much in excess of that mum Der, congestion and loss of efficiency in handling traffic become apparent The efforts which have been made to speed coal cars back to the mines and box cars to the West for grain moving have all been productive ot good results.
 Passenger travel on the New Ea>en is normally heavy around this sea- son. It is understood that travel fol the recent holiday period broke al previous records.
