To assume con- trol of the vast railway systems of the country is, I realize, a very heavy responsibility, but to fail to do in the existing circumstances would have been much greater.

Would Protect Values. “T need not point out the essen- tial justice. of such guarantees and their great influence and significance as elements in the present financial and industrial situation of the coun- try. Indeed, one or the strong argu- ments for assuming control of the railroads at this time is the financial argument. It is necessary that the values of railway securities should be justly and fairly protected and that the large financial operations every year necesary in connection with the maintenance, operation and develop- ment of the rowds should, during the period of the war, be wise.y related to the financial operations of the Government. Our first duty is, of 4 course. to conserve he common in- terest and the common safety, and to make certain that nothing stands In the way of the successful prosecu- tion of the great war for liberty and justice, but it is an obligation of pub- lic conscience and of public honor that the private interests we disturb should be kept safe from unjust in- jury, and it is of the utmost conse- quence to the Government itself that all great financial operations should pe stabilized and co-ordinatell with the financiai operations of the Gov- ernment. No borrow, should run athwar: the borrowings of the Federal Treas- ury and no fundamental industrial values should anywhere be unnecers sarily impaired. In the hands of many small investors in the country as well as in national banks, in in- surance companies, in savings banks, in trust companies, in financial ager cies of every kind, railway sécurities, the sum total of which runs up to some $10,000,000,000 or $11,000,000,- 000, constitute a vital part of the structure of credit, and the unques- tioned solidity of that structure must be maintained. “The Secretary of War and I easily agreed that, in view of the many complex interests which must be safeguarded and harmonized, as well as because of his exceptional expe- rience and ability in this new field »f governmental action, the Hon.

Narrowed down under the analysis of the first draft made in the report, the plan places upon. unattached single men and married men with independent incomes most of the weight of military duty, for the ag- gregate number of men in the other divisions of class one is very small. First Draft a Success. Gen. Crowder finds that the first draft surpassed the highest expecta- tions of the friends of the selective service idea. He pays high tribute, not only to the thousands of civilians who gave ungrudging' service to making the plan a success, but also to the high patriotism of the Amer- ican people as a whole. “At the President’s call,’’ he says, “all ranks of the nation, reluctantly entering the war, nevertheless in- stantly responded to the first call of the nation with a vigorous and un- selfish co-operation that submerged all individual interest in a single en- deavor toward the consummation of the national task. I take it that no great national project was ever at- tempted with so complete a reliance citizens for its execution. Certainly no such burdensome and sacrificial statute had ever before been exe- cuted without a great heirarchy of officials. “This law has been administered : NJ Open Saturday Till 9 P.

They have accomplished the task. They have made some mis- takes. The system offers room for improvement. “But the great thing they were called upon to do they have done. The vaunted efficiency of absolutism of which the German empire stands as the avatar can offer nothing to compete with it. It remains the ul- timate test and proof of the intrinsic political idea upon which American institutions of democracy and self- government have been based.” Analysis of First Draft. Analyzing the first draft, Gen. Crowder shows that 9,586,508 men between the ages of 21 and 31 years egistered themselves. Up to late in December only 5870 arrests had been made of those who had sought to evade registration and of that num- ber 2263 were released after having registered, and there remain only 2095 cases to be prosecuted. The report declares that in the nial analysis of the records it will be shown that only 0.00026 per cent of the men within draft age evaded registration. “50,000 Real Slackers.” Fifty thousand real slackers in the United States, is the Provost Mar- shal-General’s estimate in his report. That calculation supposes that 10 men in each registration district have caught. While a few more than 250,000 of the more than 3,000,000 registered men failed to appear when called for examination, Gen. Crow- der estimates that 85,000 of them have gone into military service with- out notifying local boards. “This leaves more than 150,000 to be accounted for,” says the Pro- vost Marshal-General. “Were they all slackers?” Gen. Crowder answers his own question by estimating that they probably are not real slackers, be- cause 100,000 probably are aliens. This, he estimates, leaves about 50,- £00 real slackers to be accounted for. } oniy a few more than 16,000 have t A total of 14,161 enemy alfens were AS THEY REACH 21 URGED BY CROWDER Class One, With 700,000 New REPORT SENT TO CONGRESS Plan Would Place Burden on Also, in the interest of fair dis- been identified, and a few more than 2000 have been prosecuted.

This amount has been) about $9.84. Efficient Army Necessary. discussing the future of the Gen. Crowder takes occasion vide an adequate army. Economic considerations must be regarded in selecting the men, he says, but not at the expense of an efficient fight- ing force. Viewed beside the efforte Germany and Austria have put forth to place man power in the field, he adds, “it little becomes us to empha- size above a whisper as a substantial national problem what we have been called upon to do.” Tables accompanying the report show many striking results of the draft. Taking the total of 1,243,801 508, the number called and exam- ined was 3,082,949, and of these l,- 057,363 were certified by the boards for military service.

She usefi the members by telling how e inquired, in a New York book | ' oe store, for a copy of her first book. The store did not have a copy. She returned two weeks later and re- peated the inquiry, and the clerk then said the book was on the order list, but had not been received. When she asked if no one had inquired for the book, he said, “Oh, yes; a woman asked for it a couple of weeks ago.” She said she had left St. Louis be- cause she was “frozen out” in her literary aspirations here, and found New York the logical place for her work. It took her two years or more to “break in” in New York, but she said she would probably never have succeeded if she had remained here. wth : Evo heir blood, sharpen their eir strength by CHILDREN NEED FOOD-—NOT ALCOHOL How careless it is to accept alcoholic medicine for children when you know that their whole health and depends upon correct nourishment, children are pale, listless or puny, they abso- jlutely need the.special, concentrated food that only OTTS EMULSION ives, to improve their nutrition and repair waste caused youthful activity.

This is no longer an academic questfon. The addition of New York to the suffrage column, I think, entitles us to say that, as a matter both of justice and of common sense, the nation should no longer delay to give women suffrage.

It will be the duty of the gas and ‘flame men to operate the mechan- | jeal devices used tn making gas and ‘flame attacks. Reports from observ- "ers on the western front indicate ‘that flame attacks have not been uni- » formly successful and also that many ‘difficulties surround the successfui | @peration of “‘cloud” gas attacks of 'the type these men will be inter- @ted in. ' = In cloud gas attacns the gas is re- | leased during favorable weather con- sagan from large tanks beneath the pets of the first line trenches. : will doubtless be among the du- 9 ioe of men enlisted m this unit to ' Operate the tanks and regulate the ' flow of gas. They will also be called | Bpon to serve as instructors to men ' of other commands along the front. -*_ A technical education is not nec- > essary, however, as the men will have nothing to do with the manu- | ure of chemical compounds, The fegiment is essentially a fighting Unit. It is of great importance, re- '@uiting officers say, that the men | felected be of sturdy muscular de- » Yelopment and of a determined type, pable of carrying out any mission upon which they may be sent. They ' must be men of initiative, able to | Msume responsibility. ' Good Chances to Advance. Opportunities for advancement are | gaid to be numerous in this branch of the service. All men enter as | privates at $33 a month and ex- penses, which include food, clothing, ' Medical attendance and transporta- 5 Bon. If they show sufficient apti- g tude they may be assigned to spe- Son duty and obtain the higher non-, *ommissioned ranks that pay from $40.20 to $96. Skilled mechanics ov chemical workers are especially ‘ meeded. Upon enlistment, the men will be © it to Camp American University, D. C., to undergo a special course - of training. $GE BLOCKA4NE INTENSIFIES _ GOAL SHORTAGE IN NEW YORK Barges Loaded With Fuel Are Tied | Up—Suffering Among the : | .

DIES AFTER FAINTING AT WORK Quge gute een Man's Head Hurt in Fall; Necessary. Theodore Yaeger, 59 years old, a clerk, employed by the Carleton Dry Goods Co., died today at city hospital under circumstances which make necessary an inquest to determine cause of death. Yaeger swooned while at work yesterday afternoon, and in falling his head struck a piece of furniture. At the hospital his illness was first diagnosed as poisoning. A more thorough examination showed, how- ever, that he was suffering from : complication of diseases, any one of which might have caused death, while the injury he received in fall-| ing was a possible fracture of the skull, tal.

If the car lines can. be used in some industrial districts to help relieve the freight and express congestion, that use of them will benefit everybody and injure nobody. Third—St. Louis needs a prosper- ous street railway system just as much as you need prosperous stores and factories, and for the same reason, namely, that un- less a business prospers it can't pay good wages nor give satisfactory service. Fourth—This Company if assured a reasonable franchise status, as proposed in the pending bill, can hope to earn a fair interest rate on actual, useful invest- ment, pay good wages and provide needed service extensions and betterments. Fifth—Under State (Commission regulation of our service, earnings, capital and accounting, and under the terms of pending settlement bill, can’t, hope and don’t expect ever to earn a dollar more than the fair cost of the service we render, We can’t hope and don’t expect ever to issue another dollar’s worth of stocks or bonds except for plant additions approved by the proper public authorities. We can and do expect, if the pending settlement bill passes, most of the new capital needed for exten- sions and hetterments right here at home, among our own people, we to find Sixth—We believe the people of St. Louis want, and are able and willing to pay for a street railway service as good as any in the world. Seventh—We believe this commu- nity has everything to gain and nothing to lose by the enactment of a settlement bill that will‘ help us place St. railway service on a high efficiency basis, and encourage us {& hope for a fair wage for the labor and capital so employed. Louis’ street There has been a great change in public senti- ment on this question during the past year, because a large majority of the people of St. Louis now understand these facts: That we have meant exactly what. we said in these advertisements. That our stock holders, including hundreds of St, Louis men and women, while fairly entitled to get that $1,000,000 That we, like all other business men, need and want the good will of our customers. That we have tried and are trying to win your good will by giving you most and best service possible under present conditions. That we have accepted in’ good faith the income limitations and service requirements fixed under the Missouri Pub- lic Service law. That for seven years past we have not received from this business the fair re- turn intended by that law. That our actual income has been That any much less than the fair return on a fair capital’ value contémplated in the Public Service law. ment as the enacted. That our interest payment to bond holders—our creditors—is $1,000,000 a year less than a 6° return on a low valu- ation of the property. a year as a dividend on their equity in the property, have not been paid a penny of dividends for seven years past. of that $1,000,000 a year has been put back into the property to extend and im- prove the service. Every cent That our stock holders’ only chance to escape the loss of their equity in the property is in the prompt enactment of some such settlement as the one proposed in the pending bill. That if the terms of the bill as last amended are made harder for the Com- pany, our bond holders, whose consent is necessary, Will refuse to accept it. further betterment of service is impossible until some such settle- pending bill proposes is That every day of delay in making the settlement increases the risk of worse conditions—for our customers, ployes, and our stock holders. our em- We feel that we as semi-public servants would fail in our public duty if we did not make every effort to bring these facts to your notice.

This serves to recall that in the earliest days both of these were put to the same usage.

In remote ages the Egyptians of the Nile Valley prepared brea from the seed of lotus flowers. These flowers grew abundantly in the mud of the river bottom, and when the annual overflow reaeded there was a harvest of lotus flowers, just as we harvest wheat today.

Numerous attempts have been made to introduce it into this coun- try, and it is now being manufactured commercially. If we may believe those who profess to know, banann _flour is both nutritious and palatable. The Mexicans and South Ameri- cans grind peas and beans into a meal which is then made into little cakes and fried.

ARRY HERRMANN, chair- man .of the National Baseball Commission, an- nounced on Thursday morning that the objections raised to the new division of world se- ries coin, on the ground that second place clubs, polding a city series of their @wn, might get more money than the top- notchers, were groundless. 7 All city and state tourneys, he explained, would be subject to the same ruling; and the money taken in at such series would be divided exactly as in. the case of the big annual clas- sic. For instance, if the two Chi- cago Clubs should both finish second and should then have a city series, they would have to divide their plunder exactly as the two world’s series contest- ants, thus giving the winners at Chicago, judged by the standards of previous years, about $1000 each as compared . to $1400 for the loser of the oe) world’s series.
