MIR EASTMAN ON NEW
 ENGLAND)
(springfield Republican)

(Springfield Republican,
 In replying to Gov Ely's request for an opinion about the future con- trol of New England railroads, Con- missioner Eastman of the interstate commerce commission issues ring ing appeal to New Englanders to keep their major railroad systems in their own hands. Breathing the spirit of the Storrow committed report of eight years ago, trench ant document composed with skill and verve by the late MT Storrow himself, MT Eastman's letter to Gov Ely comments and urges home con- trol of railroads as a means of pre- serving the 'tenacity, ingenuity, en- terprise, hardihood and daring which have built up and preserved New England industry in the past"
 MT Eastman repeats Prof Ripley S suggestion that New England capi- tai step forward and take over the large share of potential control now vested in the Pennsylvania railroad company, which is viewed with dis trust by a considerable body of New England opinion. Whether or not this suggestion seems likely to be carried out, it is only a few years ago that New England capital did come forward to save the New Haven railroad from receivership, and there is little doubt that the step was taken in the expectation that the New Haven railroad would continue to be a servant of New England. MT Eastman attaches no blame to the Pennsylvania, but takes the plausible view that the Pennsyl- vania's recent acquisition of New England railroad stock was move in the struggle for balance of power among the trunk lines and was per- haps undertaken as measure to forestall competitors.
 MT Eastman's position as a mem Der of the commission which may be called upon to render an official judgment doubtless prevents him from analysing in detail proposals which might be submitted to the commission for judicial determine ton. But he indicates his belief that most of the reasons advanced for trunk line control are illusory. Originally, 1t should be remembered, the demand for trunk line absorp- ton of New England carriers was based on a fear that the financial situation of the New England lines was hopeless. MT Storrow chal- lenged that view. and the extraor- dinary rehabilitation that has since taken place has confirmed his judg- ment. If MT Eastman's exhorta- ton seems largely to rest on moral grounds. technical examination of the problem supports his view that New England interests will be best served by preserving independent management Of our major systems. whether or not n preponderance of stock ownership is held by New England people.

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
THE STONE WALLS OF NEW ENGLAND IBy Donald Bain in The Christian Science

THE STONE WALLS OF NEW ENGLAND (By Donald Bain in The Christian Science Monitor) Beauty was not the end they had in mind, Who built for us the old New England walls; And yet the end is beauty, we find Who follow where the voice of nature calls Far other was the builders prime design Than making boundaries for beauty's sake; Nor yet to separate the mine and thine, Did they such arduous labors undertake
 They took the simplest way to clear the land For crops of corn and wheat, and oats and nay; Beauty and usefulness went hand In hand, And journeyed down the years until to-day; Untll to-day the rocky land Is scanned With beauty. mile mile In endless chains; A beauty which the builders never dreamed Rewards their toll and for our Joy remains Meilowed by age, the spreading landscape fretting,
 The hoary walls. storm. .weathered and tirne- Wear crannled flowers of sprinstimss fond
 And oftentimas are bramble. brier.v .veined. All In their season vagrant flowers abound.
 And apple trees fng petals far and near; Wild grape and g0donr0d and ferns are found
 And creatures furre and fenibere shelter here With moss on golden iichens oyergrown
 Or bare. whore black and Eray ana rose slntH story of inc ages told in sionei
 A tale with no beginning and no end .-.

Six Real D. A. R.''s

A headline during the recent D. A. R. con- vention in Washington read: Only Six Real D. A. Rs Remain. The news story explained that real meant daughters of men who actually fought in the American Revolu- tion The readers feeling is that Only Six gives wrong emphasis The surprising thing is that there are any living direct links with the year l776.
 Other members of the D. A. R. Loyalty re- frain from giving away the ages of the six real 'real'' daughters, saying only that they are well advanced in years. However their being alive reminds us strongly of the youth of our government.

Those who know of sites that can be obtained or should be obtained for reservation purposes should com municate with the Connecticut Forest and Park Association at 2l5 Church street, New Haven. Such request, of course. may bring many responses to which no attention can be paid But from the mass can be selected the few that will meet the requirements and that may be bought There are probably great many natural beauty spots in and around Wa terbury that various people would like to see preserved for all time. The way to. make this possible is to interest the association in it. If it can be secured and funds vailable it soon will be publicly owned

ANOTHER POINT
(Hartford Timesl

In addition to the many argu- ments bearing against the advisabil- ity of developing Roton Point as a. state park 1t may be said with much. force that the course would surely, invite the patronage of throngs from New York city to enjoy facil- ity for which the taxpayers of New. York would be contributing noth--, ing.
 To illustrate the magnitude of the summer pleasure-seeking hegiras from the metropolis we only need to- cite that the visitors to Becr moun- tain state park in the season, amount to 10,000.000 in round num- ,bers.
 The nearer to New York Fair. field county state shore park were esta blished the heavier would be the inroad upon it from the tremendous congested population westward, That is an item of consideration which should enter into any wise decision of the Connecticut authorities. sa

ARRIVAL OF SURGEONS

ARRIVAL OF SURGEONS
 On May 26, 1917, the first sani- tary squadron of the American EX- peditionary corps arrived in Paris from London on its way to the front. It received a tremendous ovation.
 The squadron was composed of 150 physicians, surgeons and 75 nurses, who marched through the streets with the American flag flying and drums and flies playing. They proceeded to a British camp in tn. suburbs of Paris, which had been placed at their disposal.
 On this day a German airplanr raid was made on the southeast coast of England. Seventy persons were killed and 174 injured. The raid occurred at 6 in the evening while most of the victims were do- ing their supper shopping.

LOOKS FOR GOLD

To watch the sand and gravel and muddy water pour out of the big pipes after being gouged from the bottom of the bay in Thomas Basin at Ketchikan by the suction dredge then spill over the Federal site, is an interesting sight to many spectators who view the scene daily, reports the Chronicle. An old prospector was seen critically examining the sand and gravel fill. There ought to be some gold in this sand," he said, especially when the dredge cuts down on bedrock. For ages the creek has been cutting down the hills and grinding up quartz ledges."
