The Shippers Standpoint.

The President is to give an audience TODAY to
several railroad presidents, who will be able to in
form him of the financial condition of their roads
With hardly exception these started at
the bottom and have worked to the top. They know
about their business and the needs of the situa
ton than the Interstate Commerce Commission or
Congress can ever hope to know. Whatever may be
the result the President will get information first
hand They stand too high the business world to seek
msnform and the result may be that the President
will be able to contribute his influence toward a
remedy for a situation brought about by the Inter
state Commerce Commissions attitude towards the
public carriers
OF no little importance at this time is a statement
Sharp & Dohme, manufacturing chemists of Balti-
more. He also is a director of several banks and
trust companies well a member of American
and European scientific bodies.
Mr.. Dohme has written the President strong
statement the subject of the recent decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission Mr.. Dohme
would have the Interstate Commerce Commission
reopen the and advance freight rates. 1t is his
belief based his knowledge a shipper that the
whole 5 per cent should have been
granted.
He says:
I'VE would prefer TO pay 10 per cent increase
and industry hum with activity and all people
actively employed and at good wages and every one
contented and all railroads developing and growing
and opening up new parts of this great land, than
to body of men haggle and try to see how
small they can make the rate increase and on how
little additional the railroads can just manage to
exist and avoid receivershps
Then Mr.. Dohme adds: when a man is sick
unto death because of lack of nourishment as we'll
as because of weakened condition brought by
past ndiscretion, the doctor who would treat the
patient with lectures how he could have been we'll
if he had not years before been indiscreet in diet
or overwork, would be driven out of town. And
yet this is exactly what the Interstate Commerce
Commission has been doing and is doing"
Mr. Dohme that to destroy the railroads is
to destroy the shipper. His plea is valuable and
comes at appropriate time

A Diplomat Abandons Caution.

Just as the Turkish Ambassador says, a sugges-
ton from Great Britain that the United States send
warships to Turkish waters to protect Christians,
plainly indicates sinister design to drag this coun-
try into the European 1t must, however, be
dsheartenng to Rustem Bey to have our State De-
partnent emphatcally deny that any such suggestion
has been made by Great Britain.
The representative of the Sublime Porte in Wash
ington, furthermore, is reported by so reliable a
newspaper the Philadelphia Public Ledger as say
ing:
And since large number of American papers
are siding with Great Britain and France in this
affair." / will permit myself to say that the thought
OF the lynchings which occur daily in the United
States and the memory of the water cures" in the
Philippines should make them chary of attacking
Turkey in connection with acts of savagery COM
mitted by her under provocation, compared with
which the economic competition of an Italian, or
the snping of Filipino, or even the outrage of a
negro are as nothing
Supposing for the sake of argument what in
reality could never happen, that the negroes were
discovered to be engaged in a conspiracy with the
japanese to facilitate the invasion of the United
States by the latter, how many of them would be
left alive to tell the tale?

with which the United States is on friendly terms

The Pestiferous Carranza.

Negotiations which Paul Fuller Is conducting
with Carranza in Mexico City, on behalf of Presi-
dent Wilson similar to those which John Lind car
ried on with Huerta, are approaching climax OF
some sort. 1t is evident that all Carranza seeks is
the withdrawal of the United States troops from
Vera Cruz, and on this point he is becoming more
and more insistent and arrogant He wants the
troops Withdrawn in order that he may feel safer
in maintaining himself in control of Mexico, with
out regard to title constitution or law At present
he persistenty cngs to the title of First Chief Of
the Revolution, declining to assume that of Pro-
visionaI President because the latter course would
render him ineligible a candidate in special
presidential election His present attitude indicates
that he will be satisfied with arrangement that
will not permit him to remain in supreme authority
until he can be chosen President with some show OF
legality
President Wilson, on the other hand, seems de-
termined to keep the troops in Mexico until spe-
cial or regular election conducted according to the
constitution shall choose a President whom he can
recognize The inference is that unless CarranZa
will consent to assume the title of Provisional Pres
dent and permit a special election in which he will
not be candidate resign in favor of the minister
of foreign affairs pending the election, thus qualifying
as a candidate, the United States troops must re-
main in Vera Cruz until regular election is held.
Carranza, that have installed him in
Mexico City, is. resentful of any dictation or in
reference from this country, and bis irritation at
the presence of its troops is growing He wants to
run things with high hand and is afraid so long
as the soldiers there.
There is very little reason to expect that Mr..
Paul Fuller will be able TO bring the First Chief
down from his high horse. Insolence and hostility
have characterized all his dealings with this gov
ernment even when all its endeavors directed
toward ousting Huerta We shall have to put up
with much more of it if We keep the troops in
Mexico
The patience exhibited by President Wilson in
his efforts restore constitutional and benehcent
government and a condition of tranquility in Mexico
is admirable but it must be remembered that nothing
like order has existed there since the iron hand of
Diaz was torn away and certainly there is no iron
hand to awe the trouble makers now 1t will soon
be time to ask whether it is worth while for the
United States to submit indefinitely to insult and
rebuff in the pursuit of atruistic idea of recon-
Cling a growing crop of jealous and ambitious Car
ranzas and Villas and Zapatas, who know lust of
power and loot but not patriotism. And, perhaps,
too the American people will weary of pouring out
their wealth in effort to carry to the Mexicans
civilization strange and repugnant to them. After
all, isn't tho time to call the troops away?

and which is supposed to be neutral in the Euro
pean conflict Under such conditions public dis
cusson by him of the internal affairs of this country,
comparing them with alleged conditions in Turkey.
to say nothing of the hypothetical situation he creates
involving Japan, nation with which the United
States is yet engaged in delicate diplomatic negotia-
tons must convict him of appearing in the role Of ar
extremely undiplomatic diplomat
thoroughly competent and delightful repre-
sentative of his country in times of peace, he seems
to have thrown caution to the winds in the present
crisis which Turkey appears to be overanxious to
have a part in.

Fifty years ago today the Federal
armies Under Maj Gen. William +.
Sherman were resting in the vicinity
Of Atlanta. Ga. which had been evac-
uated by the Confederates in the night
of Septemy|T /.
Oficers and men welcomed the re-
taxation from the arduOus duties un-
der which they had labOred for the
previous four months. There had been
hard hghting, long marches, little
sleep and not an Overabundance OF ra-
tions-Jhe last in spite Of the tre-
mendous exertions Of those intrusted
with the work of feeding the army.
sherman was no less thankful for
the successful end OF the campaign
than were his men. He had borne the
heavy burden of responsibility, and
had Jared little better than his pri-
Yates in his manner OF living.
In the first month or two he had
stuck to. living under. a shelter or
pop" tent. His scanty store OF equip
ments was carried by a small pack
train. a motley throng OF mules ana
darkies, loaded down with mess pens,
camp kettles and all sorts of noisy i'm
pIements-which followed closely after
his stan and orderIies like harlequin
escort Every time this grotesque
cavalcade passed a column Of troops
IL was greeted with derisive laughter,
and such chaff as only veteran soldiers
know how to indulge in.
However. after spending few rainy
nights in the woods about New Hope
church. with his bit OF canvas thrown
over a fence rail and the water beat
ing in under il, he was ready to make
use of a comfortable tent which Gen.
George H. Thomas sent him. Thomas
extensive headquarters camp had come
under Sherman's ban in the first days
of the campaign, but Thomas clnug
to IL tenaciouslv and Gen. Sherman
finally saw the wisdom of having a
little comfort when in the field.
Thomas "AImOst Danced"
All through the four months of fight-
ing Gen. sherman never was satisfied
! to remain very far from the firing line
! In spite of the vigorous appeals OF his
( officers that he keep in more sheltered
I positions, he was generally to be found
! where the fighting was hottest.
/ On one occasion in the fighting near
! Altoona. while standing near bat
tery which was shelling the woods
nreparatory TO a Federal advance, he
/ caught sight OF the Confederates bring
! ing I'D their guns. Sherman pointed
them out to the captain of artillery
and ordered him to put a she'll In
there and start the game before the
| ConCederates can get into it."
/ In his impetuous manner Sherman
himself stepped up to sight the gun
and while doing so a sharpshooter sent
n bullet along the barrel just By his
! cheek.
"CIose shaving, that" he remarked
co,IIy. but wen pay him back the
compliment"
