APPRECIATION OF RELIEF WORK SHOWN Letters From Abroad Received by % Surgical Dressings Committee The general medical director writes from Romae for the president of the Italian Red Cross: “I am happy to acknowledge re- ceipt of the cases mentioned in your letters of April 17, .May 6 and June 12 I have had the pleasure of ex- pressing already my greatest satisfac- tion and approbation to this generous institution for the brotherly help always sent us. Still I am happy to express again our deepest gratitude to our good friends beyond the seas; to those who spend their best ener- gles in eoothing the woes caused by the cruel war. The eminent mem- bers.of this noble institution may be proud of the merciful work they do for the; suffering.” Mrs. "Fitzgerald, who is at one of the London Casualty Clearing stations in France, writes: “I am now very near the front; in fact on ground recently evacuated by the enemy and we receive the wound- ed direct from the fleld dressing sta- tion.” It is practically a continuous stream through to the base hospitals and I could use no end of fracture pillows, compresses, and gauze and cotton pads, etc. We are in tents and it has been raining so hard that it is no drier inside than out. Many thanks to your committee for all the help you send. It is so nice to be able to give the wounded what they need with a fairly free hand. A few days ago I received seven wonderful cases from you. I can not tell you how welcome they all are and ho impressed everyone is with the way the things are sorted, packed, put up, and you were most particularly gen- erous this time in sending so much. These supplies have been distributed where most needed and everyone is grateful to your committee.

The orderlies are army trained men and some are remark- ably good, so that I get on very well with their assistance. I do not know it I ever told you that I use your cases by making shelves with the Ud and standing them up on end. They hold the supplies beautifully and 'the tin boxes get lettered- on the outside and look very fine indeed when well polished. The nails are used to put in the shelves, so you see there is nothing wasted that you send us. “Please tell your committee again and again how grateful I am for the supplies and I wish I could begin to tell them how many nice things have been said about their generosity.” Extract from letter of Mrs. C. K. “The wounds are so terrific that the small pads are of very little use unless the doctors use many at a time, and this is not really practical be- cause the pus oozes between them. I have been asked for the larger size so many times)lately, and we have so little time for making a quantity here. Will you think, I wonder, that we are always changing? It is not we, but the caonditions and the demands. You can not send us too many one-yard gauze packings. They use these in enormous quantities, and they are really more useful than the half- yards, . They are not only used for packing, but for ‘dressing stumps. Alas! there are so many! A friend of mine was at a hospital just outside Paris a few days ago. There he saw eleven men with both arms and legs gaone, and one of them blind. The wounds from the Somme have, some jof them, been simply too ghastly for description, and the hospitals are full to overflowing. When will it ever end? 11 wonder if you can have the faintest { idea of the things we see. I hardly think it possible. And the men are so patient, j “Boston has been more than gener- ous to the hospitals we supply. The material is perfect and we never have to touch a thing. I hope you are able to let all your workers and sub-com- mittees know how grateful we"are. “Did I tell you in my last letter about the pillows we are making for the trains, at the request of the Ser- vice de Sante? We are able to get oft 250 a week, that is to say, enough for'one train. We are just sending off our fourth lot, It is such a comfort to feel that at least that number of poor fellows are going to have a really soft comfort- able pillow to rest their heads upon. We need heaps of the small ones also, for they say it takes ten or twelve of the latter to make a very badly wounded man as comfortable as possible for the transit, We are making all we can of these too, but we seem to be almost snowed under with work, for we have to remember the heavy, warm chaussons, which are to keep thejr feet warm after their boots are removed. ‘We have to supply 800 pairs of these also for a tubercular hospital in the mountains where the men lie out of doors all day.

Hadley_o_l Yale Says It Must Issue Preferred Stock Hartford, April 26.—That the New Haven road might have to go into bankruptcy unless the legislature gives it the permission it asks to issue up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock, was the statement made by President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale, one of the directors of the New Ha- ven, yesterday afternoon to the com- mittee on railroads in answer to a question of Senator Leonard of New Haven as to what would happen if the permission was not given to issue this stock. Other directors of. the road emphasized the dire necessity of the issue to place the road in the position before the public which is occupied years ago when it paid dividends. President Hadley further added that he doubted whether it would be wise for him to remain on the directorship of the road with the corporation in so low a state of credit. Vice President E. G. Buckland, first presented the case of the road and the necessity of the issue of stock, explaining that the net earn- ings of the road this year will aggre- gate $10,000,000, but that all this amount is needed for additional roll- ing stock, locomotives and yards. The directors desire to meet the require- ments of the public, he said, and re- habilitate the property to pay divi- dends to the common stockholders as in the old days. The road owes now $257,000,000 and $45,000,000 must be paid before next April. There are three ways in which to pay this debt, he said: First, by mort- gage bonds; second, by the sale of stocks and bonds of the Connecticut company, and the Boston and Maine holdings, and third, by thie issue of pretérred stock. Mortgage Bonds Not Attractive. There are total mortgage bonds $288,000,000 with the mortgage bonds of $188,000,000, and the debt of $45,- 000,000. In the opinion of bankers, he said an issue of mortgage bonds would not be attractive and the di- rectors feel they should not put a mortgage on the main road, which is clear between New York and New Haven and New Haven and New Lon- don, and other short points. It would ‘be impossible to sell the trolley property and the Boston and Maine ‘holdings to pay off the debt, because the proceeds, if the directors were compelled to sell now, would be con- siderably less than the book value of this property, which is $120,000,000. The road is under an order of the court to sel]l these holdings by July 1, 1919, and if it should be forced to sell now on the bargain. counter, it would be required to make up that loss out of the road’s earnings be- fore it declared a dividend. He said the road proposes to ask the govern- 165 Main S Two Stores . 227 Main Sti Middleto ment for an extension of time for the sale of this property. A member of the committee asked him what this stock would sell for, and he answered that he did not know, but in answer to a suggestion that $80,000,000 might be a disposal price, he answered that if anyone of- fered him that amount he ‘Would lock the door quickly before he escaped with the offer. In explaining fully the issue of the bonds he saild it is so safeguarded that the stock cannot be issued except it ‘be ratified at a special meeting by two-thirds of the stockholders. ,Pro- vision is made for the cancellation and retirement of bonds, and the rate of interest not to exceed seven per cent. is to ‘be fixed by the stockhold- ers’ meeting. All conditions are subject to the approval of the public utilities com- mission. An issue of $50,000,000 is asked for of which $45,000,000 is to be paid on short time notes. Jn ex- plaining the reason for an issue over the amount, which they wish to pay, in short time notes he said, the road may need the additional $5,000,000 shortly. ‘Views of Yale Presidemt. President Hadley told of the neces- sity for improving the physical can- dition of the road, of the poor trans- portation facilities, defective sidings, all of which are inadequate ta do the state's bueiness. The road must float a bond issue or face the contingency of sacrificing its securities. It is im- portant, he said, not to entirely ex- haust the credit in paying its bills, but to have some money left for pay- ing current expenses. Then there will be no more car shortages, transporta- tion will be gotten into shape and there will be fifty per cent. mare bus- iness with a slight advance in cost. He thought, too, cheaper transporta- tion could be providefl. He said that the' road- would be able to add $25,- 000,000 to its borrowing powers, and therefore, all to the earnings which would net an improvement in value of from three to four millions. Hav- ing good credit the road could borrow at five per cent. and reap ten per cent. on its new capital. For the past five years it had been in a condition of a business with no credit. The refusal of the legislature to authorize the issuance of preferred stock would mean putting all the earnings into equipment. The equity of the com- pany, at present, is $60,000,000 and the debt $120,000,000, * In answer to the question whether the stockholders would approve of the issue he said it is the one hope of the road that they will. . He did not doubt | that they would not approve it at the present time, but he believed" such explanations would be offered and the matter put before them in such light at the meeting that they would not fail to accept the plan. Director Milligan, of Hartford, who i said he was at first opposed to the‘ issue, added about the same testi-} mony, saying that the road couldn't market the mortgages that it would have to put in the market. It is pay- ing $7,500 a day for rental of cars. Eli Whitney, of New Haven, an- Other New Haven director, said he hoped that the road would not be obliged to issue stock, but he had; come to the conclusion that it necessary. The bankers will not re- is | new the notes which are due, " situation is serious. Cornwall Man Objects, George L. Smith, of Corawail,; said he put $15,000 into the stock, opposed the issue. He to know why Yale sold its sto¢ raad, and President Hadley didn‘t feel obliged to explain Mr. Smith said the road took’ 000 for the new station in New. which isn’t necessary now. none of the road's bonds were. put on the market so the stog could purchase them. He ‘woyld be a good thing for the rof 80 into receivership, if it ‘can’t dividends. , < A8 Francis T. Maxwell, of Rockill other directar of the road, figul the debt now is $233,000,000 " capital stock, $150,000,000. W bond issue the debt would be to $188,000,000, and the capil made $200,000,000.
