Four Crews Less on
the Middle Division

AS a result of the falling off in
freight traffic four freight crews on
the Middle division will be taken off

the seniority rule will be observed. This
will finally result in twenty-four extra
men going off indefinitely. Most of
the crew affected will be on the AL

Altoona, and Nos. 406 and 407 at Ty-
rome, which operate between Altoona

the Tyrone division to the terminal
point, will be discontinued.
On December 21 five new runs will
be created and will be filled by like
number of crews to be known as Nos.
271, 272, 273. 274 and 275. There will
be no increase or decrease in the num-
ber of employees except on the extra
list.

No. 4 shifting crew, will be formed and
this change will become effective on

made as the result of the fact that
regular crews have been called at
stated periods and have been compell-
ed to remain idle for several hours
frequently owing to the lack of work.

the company will call its men only
when they are actually needed. SINH
lar changes, it is said, will be made

DID BISMARCK HAVE REGRETS?


Did it pay? Did the policy of iron
and blood profit either Bismarck or
Germany? Did it pay to teach the
crowned egoist of Europe the policy
of the mailed fist? Does Germany
now think it pays to hold the clenched
fist over the heads of the civilized
world and stand on the border with
unsheathed sword? Does it pay to
carry the ideal of the Heidelberg
duels into international relations?
Does it pay to hold not the Armed
Peace, but the Armed Fear forth as
a national exponent? 1t might be
well for these devotees of Mars to
stand still and listen to Bismarck $

OUR PREPAREDNESS FOR WAR

Do you know what we have got in

what we have got with which to OPP
pose four million trained men, which
happens to be the war strength of the
German army? Do you realize that
we nave only about eighty-ive thous-

twenty thousand militia? Are those
militia trained? Why Mr.. Speaker,
sixty per cent of the men in the militia
who are armed with a rifle do not
know how to use it properly. Sixty
per cent last year were unable to
qualify even as third-class marksmen.
Half of that sixty per cent-thirty
per cent did not even try to qualify
with the rife. That is all we have got
to defend us. What is the use of talk

further will be done toward qualifying
the policemen who were appointed on
Tuesday until City Council has consid-
cred the subject this evening and de-
cided what is to be done. The point has
been raised that the resolution adopted
by City Council was Illegal. The law
provides that the police force shall be
enlarged from time to time upon the
recommendation of Council, but Councils
resolution authorized the Police Commis-
sion to increase the force instead of
recommending it. The point was pushed
with such vigor that City Solicitor Daniel
o. Hastings advised the Police Commits
sion not to proceed further in the mat
ter until he could look into the law and
go over the matter with the Police Com
mission.
II Council should decide that the reso-
luton was illegally passed and rescind
1t, the Police Commission probably will
drop the matter and allow the blame for
failure to increase the police force to rest
on the members of Council Should the
City Solicitor decide the resolution legal,
