If they're wrong in East Haven" he said, they're wrong in every other town holding an election. We are very sure we have met the state re- quirements."

Little Town Elections.

New Haven, Oct. 6.-Connecticut' little town elections" once regard ed as a barometer for the state election in November, but now de- void of so general significance be- cause of the fact that some town offices are not annually voted for, are being held today. With weath- CT of the Indian summer brand it was only natural that attendance was everywhere large. In most of the towns the interest was in the town appropriations but here and there a contest for an office cropped out which served to bring out the voting strength.

 Shanghai. Oct. 6.-OutSide in- fuences-the measure of participa- tion Russian and Japan may take in China's civil war-loomed large to- day as factor in the fight for con- trol of the central government of China as opposing armies continued battling on widely separated fronts.
 Japanese citizens and military or ganizations are urging their govern ment to interfere as an ally of Gen. eral Chang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian leader who is conducting an often- sive against the Picking government. The Japanese assert their govern ment Is privileged to interference with the special interest in Man churian reports received here. Rus sia is reported to have taken action In favor of Gen. Chang,
 On the Manchurian-Chihlian bor- Der, the armies of Gen. Chang ku are fighting their way south towards Peking, against the stubborn resist ance of the Chilhi troops.
 On the Changhai front, 1000 miles from the Manchurian front, Gen. Lu Yuan Hsiang, another opponent of the central government, continued today to resist successfully the in- vading Kiangsu forces under con- troI of the central government.
 Since the fighting was started on August 27 neither side has gained a material advantage.
 By piecing together reports from various cities of Japan and China for the past week, an observer might predict that the influence of Japan and Russia would cast a shadow over the seat of government at Pe- king.
 Russia has recognized Gen. Chang the head of the government in Man. churia, although he has been de- clared an outlaw by the Peking gov ernment.
 In vigorous protests, one to L. NJ Karakhan, Russian ambassador at Peking, and another to the soviet foreign office, the Picking govern ment has insisted that any arrange rnent regarding Russian railway in- terests in Manchuria property should be made with the recognized govern ment of China. The Russian ambas- sador who has been in Shanghai re. gently, made no direct reply to tho Peking objections, but pointed out that Japan has special interests 1T Manchuria and therefore is not sub. ject to the policy Of noninterfercnct adopted by other nations toward China.
 Japanese protests 10 their govern. ment against the policy Of noninter. ference have been increased by tht activities of an eX-offiCer of the Jap anese army who arrived in Tokit from Mukden principal city of Man. churia.
 General Chang has been a con sistent admirer of the Japdneoe anC has employed retired Japanese Of f1cers to train his soldiers.

 Trezse is married, the father of five children and the grandfather of 13, He never has drunk liquor or used tobacco.
 AS he sat in his cab, hand on throttle, the conductor signalled him | to "go ahead"
 There was something pathetic about the grizzled veteran as he pressed the throttle and began his last trip as an engineer and his first trip on his new, perilous journey of slowing down."

Hoboken, N J., Oct. G,-"slowing down is a lot more difficult than speeding up,"
 So spoke Richard Trezise, 70, as he climbed into the cab of a rail- road engine for his last 90-mile. run as a locomotive engineer. He is being retired after A continuous years of service in a cab on the lackawanna.

 Trezise has travelled 3,000,O00 miles. Of the millions of passengers entrusted 10 his care, he has never lost life, He is proud of his record.
 All life is like raiIroading," he philosophical, there is a constant rush and fear lest one be late. Haste becomes a mania and habit. Every nerve Is centered on going faster. The mind and body become attuned to it.
 Then suddenly age or success. or any number of reasons, brings about slackening of pace. If you can't slow down as gradually and system- atlcalIy as you have gathered speed
