In Europe Brutal Hate is in the
saddle and is driving those nations
into hell. There is a great section
where no one smiles and where song
is no longer heard. The railroad
equipment is all devoted to hauling
men to the front and in hauling the
wounded back. There is no time to
take any dead to the rear and they
are buried on the fields making a
sickening stencil. A writer who has
been in northern France says he
watched at one station where the
trains carrying wounded stopped.
Frequently train arrived every 10
minutes and seldom was there a halt
hour between trains. This had been
going on for many weeks. The wound
ed were carried in box cars where they
lay on straw. There were no surge
ons for them and no nurses. The
trains bearing these men were stop
ped frequently and had to wait be-

The coast to coast tonnage seems
small compared with the total ship
ping. Yet even at that the domestic
business amounted to 10000 carloads
estimated on a basis Of 10000 pounds
TO the car. The water rate is much
lower than the rail rate and the canal
is working a considerable saving in
transportation charges. This is doing
well in view OF the scarcity Of ships
and the fact the water business has
not yet been developed. The foreign
business through the canal would al
so have been much heavier had it not
been for the destruction Of commerce
by the war.

RUSSIAN GIRL, 3
YEARsOLD,
!. ]. BARLEYCORN
But Lucy Ward, Humane Off,
Ger, Saves Yo1ngster From
: the Evils of Liquor

Miss Lucy Ward, special officer for
the Humane Society, has under inves
tigation the case OF q three-year-old
Russian girl who, according to state
ment made by the special officer at a
meeting of the society this morning
was rapidly becoming addicted to
liquor through the persuasions Of her
mother who, it is alleged, is habi
tue of the police court and the city
and county Jail.
According to Miss Wards story the
mother of the girl has been in the
habit of participating in almost night
ly earousals in the course OF which
she forces liquor upon her little daugh
ter In spite OF the fact that the
mother of the girl has threatened to
kill her daughter before she will see
the girl taken from her, as the story
goes. Miss Ward obtained custody OF
the youngster and placed her in 9
local shelter home. Miss Ward says
that the mother had many opportuni
ties to be with her daughter because
of suspended sentence recently Inn
posed upon her.
During the past month Miss Ward
handled the cases of nine children
five of whom she found had
been severely beaten from time tc
tine by parents or other relatives
Three of these children have beer
placed in the children's hospital, one
in the Salvation Army home and an
ether in the Castle Home. The spe
cial officer also handled the cases Of
Al animals. 20 of these having been
ordered relieved from work on &C
count of lameness, etc. The number
of cases of children handled by the
special officer during November is
material increase over the number
handled during October.

PERSISTENT REPORTS
He DOES NOT APPROVE
Rumors as to One Cause for
Delay in Washington Re-
Gently Reviyed-None OF
Parties Ready Today to
Make Public Contents Of
MissiVe

Governor Pinkham today sent to the
public utilities commission and to the
Rapid Transit & Land Company q
long communication dealing with the
Rapid Transit's franchise extension
bill, passed by the last Legislators and
now before Congress for faftncati0n.
The exact contents Of the eonmunl-
cation had not been made public IS
the time the Star Bulletin went -
press. There have been persistent rt-
mors for several weeks, particularly
since it has become known that the
governor was looking into Rapid Tran
sit matters through II. Gooding Field,
the expert accountant, that the gov.
ernor might withhold his approval
from the street railway company'e
franchise extension BILL
The communications, it was learned
at the office or the public utilitlH4
commission, were forwarded by t1e
governor late this morning ana had
just been received Acting Chairman
Williams OF the utilities eommissiop
had had no oppQttllnty q read the
governors letter when seen by the
Star-Bullefin this morning.
That the missfye Is regarded
as OF much importance by the Rapid
Transit Company might be gathered
from statement by l. Tenney Peck,
president Of the street railway com
paHy. When seen BY the Star-Bulls-
tin he said:
Il have just received the governors
communication ana have had no
chance to read It A meeting OF the
directors of the company win be cali
ed for o'clock tomorrow morning q
consider IT.
Mr. Peck felt that IN Advance Of tiiis
meeting he was not al liberty to give
out the contents Of the letter Gov
ernor Pinkham wishes the letter 70
be made public, II at all, through the
recipients.
For some time the unexplained and
repeated delays In the progress OF the
Rapid Transit oil in washington have
caused much comment locally. seF.
eral weeks ago It was rumored that
one thing holding the bin was the lack
of express approval on the part Of the
governor. When 1t became known that
the governor was making an inyestiga-
tion Of Rapid Transit affairs, includi1g
finances, the rumors revived that the
fchief executive intends to withhold his
approval Of the bill as Il IL pen 1|pg
