There never was time in the his

much was being taken out Of the men

He traced the method by which en-
gineern are made. from the healthy
farm boy. through the long grinding
hours as a fireman, subjected repeat
eddy to searching examination both
physically and mentally, finally promot-
ed to extra engineer and then again
examined on technical as well as physi-
cal and mental perfection He told OF
the hazards of the life of the engineer
and fireman. of the enormous respon-
sibility conferred on them, Of the strain
Of intense application. and of the sift-
ing process which relegated q man IN
their occupation to elimination In mid
die life when years Of usefulness should
have been before him.

Quoting q statement OF the railroad
managers last June in which 1t was
pointed out that increases In the ex-
penses Of railroad operation through
compliance with the employees re-
quest would in the long run make the

The board selected Judge Peter C.
Pritchard an chairman and H. 8. MIL

torney James Sheean. retained by the
railroad, said he would reserve his
opening statement until the presenta-
ton of evidence for the employees In
formed him what line of defense would
be required He added:
We will contend, of course, that the
present rate Of pay u full. fair and ade-
quate- We have no quarrel with Mr..
Stone as to the high class Of men re-
Quired to run locomotives, nor do we
question their responsibilities and the
arduous nature OF their duties.'
He remarked th9tswages were adjust

tration should have to do with only
changes in the last four years Mr..
Stones opening remarks concerned the

twenty-five years and most Of which

FINANCING The war.
England Is in Position to Draw ON
the World.

Stockholm, Nov. 30.-The SvenskA
Dagbladet publishes a report by Pro-
lessor Gustav Cassel, a national au-
thority, on Enhancing the War;" He
says in part:
Those countries which are big
creditors OF the neutrals have natur-
ally special strength in war time. In
that maturing liabilities are readily
taken up. This is most distinctly seen
in the case OF England, which under
normal circumstances invests between
$5O.000,0o and $75,000.000 per month
abroad. this being the normal form
for the application Of the surplus Of
England's balance against foreign
countries. Should England now, as
might be the case. cease to make these
investments the corresponding amount
would stand at her monthly disposal.
'This explains the excellent imam
cial strength Of England just now.
England II the capitalist par excel
lence who can live on the returns of
her capital, and who. thanks to her
resources. can force the whole world
to contribute towards her war ex-
penditure."

Girl Who Forgot to Light
Gas Almost Asphyxiated

Miss Sophia Gnida, sixteen years
old, a servant employed at the home
Of Henry G. Craig, II Lawn Ridge
road, Orange, is recovering In Me-
mortal Hospital, Orange, from the
effects of partial gas asphyxiation.
The girl was overcome in her room
yesterday when she turned on the
gas leading to gas heater and
failed to ignite 1t.
When the family arose for break
fast and did not find the girl down
stairs, Mr.. Craig went to her room
and after knocking repeatedly forced
the door. The heater was turned on
but not lighted and the girl was un-
conscious in her bed. She had been
in the habit of using 1t to warm the
room before dressing for the past
three months.
