The Spanish explorer discovered
the Island OF zap and other islands
of the Caroline group in the mid
die of the 10Th century. The
islands remained in the possession
of Spain undisputed until about 80
years ago, when Germany put in
q claim for zap and other islands,
The controversy was submitted
to the Pope for arbitration. He
decided that the islands properly
belonged to Spain, but Germany
secured a trading concession at
zap.
After the Spanish-American war
we took over the Ladrone Islands,
one Of which is Guam, where
there is cable station. Spain
then sold the Caroline Islands to
Germany, who remained in undis-
puted possession until the world
war.
japan took a mandate over the
Caroline Islands at the peace con-
ference, but now claims a sover-
eighty over the group.
President Wilson then and there
stated that zap must be under
international control because of its
Importance as ascable station. The
Commercial Cable Company has
for years made zap relay point
in its trans Pacific cables.
Yap is less than 1000 miles
east of the Philippine Islands. -

YEARS TO COME

Alfred P. Dennis, American
commercial attache at London
reports that there must be an ex.
pansion in cotton acreage I'm the
years to come" if the supply Of
cotton is to keep pace with the
worlds needs, but the wears to
come" are several years off.
There will be enough cotton in
the world on July 81 to run the
world another year. A careful
reading of Mr.. Dennis report
shows a greater exhaustion in the
d demand and reduction in the
capacity to buy than any reported
decrease in production during the
last few years.
If the cotton acreage is not cut
this year the overplus will make
all of it so low in price that the
growers will not have ANYTHING to
start with next year towards pro.
ductiOn.
A large acreage of cotton this
year simply means agricultural
suicide for those engaged in pro-
ductiOn. Commercial Appeal.

It was intended at that time that the vacationists would take three weeks to them selves, but the activities of the anti Broad streeters have undoubtedly ere ated no end of concern for Ralph Beers, president of the Board of AL dermen, who is acting as the city'S head during the mayors absence
 In some quarters it is believed that Beers felt he would be unable to cope with the delicate situation that might confront him Monday night, and that he was one of the first to send out the wig-Wag for the rescuing expedition.
 May Kill Measure.
 If the mayor is able to compel the deserters to return to his camp, the Broad street situation will. be prac- tica1ly stymied, for the present at least, but if he is unsuccessful, his foes have more than an even chance to get the resolution from the table and stick a knife into it for good and all. At any rate, Monday night's S meeting will be full of fireworks.
 There are no other matters of inn portance scheduled to come before the meeting except the reports of the Ways and Means committee which will report in favor of the plan to raise the rate of interest on the re- funding bonds from five to seven per cent. but the Legislature has a1- ready passed 8 bill authorizing the city to pay six per cent. the action of the Aldermen will not be of any benefit

HOW YOU CAN TELL CENTRAL
 IS ON THE JOB

Noticed the unusual sound on the telephone wire. after placing a canz
 Been wondering what 1t ts2
 Well, it f1 the new system of audi ble ringing segnalS which plainly in form you tiiat the number you asked for $ be.ng called This syshern has been tried in other cities and having been found satisfactory to eubscrib- CTS and to the company. has been ap- piled to the service in this city.
 Ttre change from the old method of signal ringing to "audible ringing" as the telephone folks cal ic, removes all doubt on the part of the calling party, that the number desired IS be- ing rung. By an ingenious arrange ment within the switchboards at the Central office, the ringing signal Is returned to the caller. softly, of course. but clearly. There is then no good reason for the caller to believe that the operator is asleep at the switchboard
 There is an apprecia;ble saving of time for the operators under the audible ringing system, too. which should be reflected in better telephone service.
 Much time has been given in the past, to the supervision of calls to which there were not prompt an swera Remember how when no an swer came to your call the operator would say, "1 am ringing Bamum | 1e34." or whatever number had been asked for. A little later. with scll no answer. the operator gave a Don't Answer report It took time to su- peryise these Don't Answer calls But audible ringing practically elirnf- mates the necessity for supervising calls Now the operator receives the call and rings the number desired The calling party knows she is ringing
 because the signal is heard
 The calling signal is continued al
 regular intervals for approximately
 two minutes unless, of course. the called party answers before the lapSs of that time If. however, there is nc answer at the end of two minutes. the operator gives a Don't Answer re port and everybody is satisfied that she has done her best
 When you hear q strang buzzin. sound coming from your receiver after having placed q call. don't thinl l it Is wire troable- It is the caiitni signal being flashed back 10 you, in forming you that the operator is ery- t ing to raise your party

BOY GUNMAN CONFESSES TO
 4 ROBBERIES

Following his arrest at St vincents hospital, by Patrick Connell, ambu- lance driver, on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, a 16-year-old New Haven boy is said to have con fessed to four robberies which re- gently occurred in Bridgeport. Some doubt exists as to his mental condi- ton. He is now held under $1,0O0 bonds, awaiting examination by DTS. Stevens and Sprague.
 The youthful burglars pet stamp ing ground seems to have been the Security building, in Main street. He is alleged to have broken into this place last Saturday night and to have stolen stamps, change and bank books from the offices of Mrs. Rather inc Morgan, Harry Frost and Ballard and Pinkham. The bankbooks have been recovered. The fourth robbery said to have been executed by the New Haven boy, was at the Garden of Italy restaurant, 719 Water street.

LIFE IS LESSON
 SAYS RAMON WOMAN

Continued from Page Oneo Other woman have many interests All my interests were bound up in the man loved, and now-wen, now, I am paying the price.
 And all I want now" she con- tinued, 'is to forget, to be let alone. I want to be able to appear in public again without people looking at me animal. I want to get away from this newspaper notoriety. I want quiet and peace. I have not tried them in the last ten years and now yearn for them above everything. I want to begin life anew and do something worth while. I can't believe it is too late. I know it is not I am young yet and perhaps I can fulfill the dreams once had"
 She would not discuss her case or the man with whose murder she Is charged. but she made clear she has no desire for vengeance
 'I don't want others to suffer. I have no desire to defame any one, she said. "All I want now is to be free: to forget this terrible thing, and all I ask is to be let alone. I have been pictured as a woman who want ed money. lam not concerned about any will I am not thinking about money. My only concern now is my freedom and future"
 As she talked, the accused woman sat in the cozy living room of her sis ter's home in Wilson, an oil settle ment near Ardmore. She presented an attractive, appealing figure in her simple black frock. Her dark hair was simply dressed Her face showed the strain of the ordeal which she has undergone. There was nothing tc suggest the light hearted, gay crea- ture she has been pictured.
 One is immediately impressed by her intelligence and boise. If you were character-indexing Clara Smitf Hamon you would catalogue her ir your mind as a girl of spirit ant thoroughly capable. After talking tt | her, it is not difficult to believe tn,
 stories told in Ardmore of how sh, l held Jake Hamon. It is said that tn, shrewd advice given by this girl wa. | largely responsible for the mi1lion

 Investigation showed that the barge had a reputation for sinking. It had sunk when in use at the Grand street bridge and several times since. The deserving poor apparently did not appreciate the efforts of the Her mits for they failed to make appIca- -ion for the wood. The carts that were promised to take the wood away failed to arrive. The elements came to the rescue and washed the wood from the deck of
