 Heading the vaudeville program came Wormwood's Animals, the great est aggregation Of dumb performers on the vaudeville stage. featuring Pink. fthe only mind reading dog in the world. Pink is a puzzle to all who see him for he~ca add, subtract and multiply with the accuracy of a. scholar and there is no set routine of figures, as the numerals are give him by members of the audience. The most astonishing and. one might say, mysterious part of his work is the naming and adding of columns of fig ures written upon a slate while his back is turned toward it and the pick i ing out of the flags of numerous ma tions at the command of the spectators. The act. is full of amazing stunts per- formed by these intelligent dogs and

.fAv)RS GOVERNMENT -
OWNED RAILROADS.
President Finn, OF Association of
Railway Commissioners Addresses
Convention.

Washington, Nov. 17.-'rhat he
leans toward Government ownership
/ of railways was indicated by Presi
dent Laurence B. Finn, of the Ma
tional Association of Railway Com
missioners today in an address at
The conventions opening session.
Economy demands the elimina-
ton of competition between public
service enterprises. he said, "and
by force of this economic condition a
monopoly in transportation is neces-
sary. If a private monopoly is inde-
fensible and intolerable, should not
a necessary monopoly be publicly
owned?
''The question will be asked many
times, no doubt, if the protecting
hand of this nation is necessary to
husband the prodigal resources of
natures bounteous gifts to man in
the icy lands of Alaska to prevent
despoliation at the hands of private
ly owned transportation companies.
why is it not necessary to protect the
meagre products of mans labor from
the self-same fate in other parts of
our fair land?"
He favored having Federal and
State regulation of common carriers
include every detail of these agen-
cies' activities so the public would
not suffer as in the past by lack of
such control.
In his address Of welcome Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Glenn
ents urged the necessity for Federal
and State cooperation in railroad
regulation and pointed out that d.
vergent and conflicting State poll
cies are serious hindrance to the
railroads and public alike.

the task imposed on our advance

Admission that the Russians had

heavy loss in men, has caused alarm.
The war office says the Russian re-
tirement was made in good ordsr
and taht as soon as reinforcement

Erzerum will be resumed. In the
