Protest AGAINST War Talk.

A protest against var talk by men of
authority is registered bv the "Cleve-
land Leader The Leader saws:
Major General Leonard Wood says.
We know that war is coming. Il is
arrant nonsense to say that the day Of
war is over. Wars are not made by IN
dividual- but by the pressure Of public
events If there were war tomorrow the
United States would need 5000 trained
officers TO command 600. 900 men. We
have 4 oco men prepared TO command. -
Senator EIihu Root says: 1T is TO
longer governments but people who do
the most to bring on wars. We Ill
America must learn that we cannot con-
tinue policy of peace with insult We
must learn civility. We must learn that
when an American sovereign speaks OF
the affairs Of any OF the foreign ma
ton that he must observe those rules OF
courtesy by which alone the peace OF the
world Can be maintained" Let US con-
trast the words OF these two eminent
meu-the one a professional soldier OF
high rank and the other a statesman of
broad vision. Major General Wood is
dong his best 10 promote larger army,
and a more efficient army and he has the
sympathy Of a majority of Americans in
his efforts. It is agreed that under the
present International conditions, it is the
part Of wisdom reasonably to increase
our military resources But is only too
true, as Senator Root says, that fiery talk
fans the fame of war It is lust such out
breaks as the foregoing by Maori General
Wood in his commencement address at
the Carnegie Institute Of Technology that
Senator Root warns us against. Sena

Demands of Railroad Trainmen

D6u1dnCS Vi IOetllIOdo 1IdluIl6Q.
1t is inconceivabe that the conductors
and trainmen on Eastern railroads, hav-
ing received an annual increase of 500
900, 600 per year in IoIo-and in view of
the extremely liberal pay they now get
would subject this country 10 the calam-
itv of a strike, because they cannot CO.
cree the roads into granting further an
nual increase OF $1,000, 600.
Here is what conductors and tranmen
receive on the New York Central Rail
road per month:
On through passenger trains running
between New York and Buffalo, requr-
ing from I65 to 1874 hours per month, the
pay is:
Conductors Sr6S. IS to SrS9.65 per month.
Trainmen 94,I2 10 1oS 90 per month
Baggagemen working between New
York and Buffalo, from no to 1911 hours
per month, receive at the present time
from SOS to SG22 per month
On division passenger runs, such as
those between New York and Albany,
Albany and Svacuse, and Syracuse and
Buffalo. requiring from I62 To PSI hours
per month, the pay at present is:
Conductors $4,000 to $4,000 per month.
Trainmen 1900 to 90 90 per month.
In suburban sesvice. such as that in the
vicinity Of New York City within the
electric territory, requiring from 1928 to
2I2 hours per month, the pay at present
Is:
Conductors SI25.oo to $4,000 per month.
Tranmen 1000 to 5000 per month.
In through freight service, conductors
are paid from 500 to $50 per month;
brakemen from SIS to 500 per month.
The increases demanded by the broth
erhoods would amount on the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
alone, to 81. SIS, o93.43 perannum, or $50
per cent.
The railroads desire to call to the at
tention of the public the following utter
ance contained in the award in the En-
gineerS' case:
From the viewpoint of the public it is
an intolerable situation when any group
Of men, whether employc7 or employers,
whether largaor small, have the power to
decide that great section of the country
as populous as all OF France shall under
go great loss of life, unspeakable suffer
ing. and loss of property beyond the
power of description, through the stop
page of a necessary public service This,
however, is the situation winch contronts
us as nation"

To Reduce Auto Tax in the Dis
trict of Columbia.

Since the enactment OF the tax law on
Maryland machines hundreds of i'reder-
lex automobiles have been literally pro
hIuited from entering the District The
present tax for license to enter Wash
ington is $50 to SIS annually, as much
and in some cases more then the Mary
land license. Frederick autoiSts would
not pay this amount to secure District of
Columbia licenses and. therefore, were
prohibited from entering the Capitol City
The new tax will be s. for a perpetual
license, making it possible for every auto
owner TO secure a license and tour to
Washington.
Several months ago Frederick autoists
signed petition to the commissioners of
the District Of Columbia asking that the
auto tax be lowered. This petition was
signed by over 100 local machine owners.
The petition was circulated throughout
the Stale and was signed by thousands
of auto owners.
AT conference the commissioners de-
Cided to resclnd the police regulation I'M
posing on non resident owners of auto
mobiles the same tax as is assessed by
their home States against owners of
Washington cars. The order probably
will be issued at once and will be imme.
dIately effective.

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

II is learned that a number Of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings Of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding Of an essay, said to be-
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit OF
Kilauea in Hawaii; piece of fiction
dealing with South sea life, and
number of smaller verse compositions
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
of Maui, OF considerable length, but
unfinished has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort
