PARIS. Nov. 26.-Further land
ings OF French and British troops
are reported at Salonika today as a
sequel to the settlement OF the coz
troversy between the Allies and the
Athens government concerning the
entente powers campaign in the
Balkans.
The belief is general here that
the Allies will not undertake an ex-
tensive sweep through Serbia. At
Uskub, 120 miles northwest Of Sa-
lonika. on the Nish-Salonfka rail-
road, II is expected their march Will
swing to the northeastward along
the Uskub-Soha railroad line, with
the Bulgarian capital as It's objec-
tive.
German communications with Con-
stantinople can be cut at Sofia as
effectively as at any point in Serbia
and the campaign will have the adj
ditional advantage OF striking at
Bulgaria's vitals.

II may shock those who have pic

Satanta, who was chief OF the Kio.

mans liquor should be sold to his
people. and that the man who sold
liquor in the land OF the Kiowas-
who then occupied southwestern
Kansas as buffalo hunting ground
should pay with his life.
And Chief Satanta enforced mis-
prohibitory law. One liquor seller
at least, met the death penalty, and
by Chief Satanta's own hand. The
incident occurred at a trading post
southwest OF Dodge City and was
the frst enforcement OF prohibI-
tion law in that section, without
doubt.

OF Satanta had an unsavory reputa.

THE CROP MOVEMENT
LCapiLal NeMsl


The railways, especially those
of the northwest, expect good
returns from the movement of
this years crops. Much of The
produce has already been moved
to primary markets, but the bulk
of the work remains to be done.
This years harvest exceeds i'm
volume the hitherto record one OF
1912. There is consequently an
increasing demand for freight
cars. No car shortage is likely
this year.
1.-THE last period i'm which there
was a car shortage was the month
OF October, 1913" says the Rail
way Age Gazette, when short
ages in various parts of the coun-
try exceeded the SURPRISES in
other parts by from 1000 to g.
GOO cars. It is necessary to go
back three years, i'm the fall of
1912, to find a net shortage ser
iCus enough to constitute a prob
lem either for the railways or the
shipper" However, this prob
lem must at some time be solved
by the railways. The Railway
Age Gazette doeS not forget that
back in 1906 and 1907 the rail
ways were denounced for not pro-
viding enough facilities to handle
their business" This failure
caused loss of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to business
interests. The situation this
year would probably be similar
were there no war. There is now
q large surplus of empty freight
cars, hut there is a possibility that
all of these may not be available.
One criticism of the carriers has
been that too few cars are in the
proper districts at the time they
are most needed.
Transportation is yearly be-
coming more complicated. AS
population increases, and with it
manufacturing and commercial
pursuits, there will be heavier
demands. The railroads-and
other would gladly see
IA change in intrnatieonal trade,
but they cannot gain much salts
faction out of their probable abil-
ity safely to handle this years
harvest. THE growth of traf-
fc in the United States. James
j. Hill wrote a few years ago, has
exceeded the growth of facilities
for carrying it. The transpor-
tation deficit will presently be-
come SO great, when business is
free to grow unhindered by re-
pressive legislation. that no

and Improvements could make it
good" Business has less to
complain Of in the way of legisla-
ton now than it had when Mr.. Hill
wrote. Ultimately, with respect
to terminals and the maximum
movable business over the rail-
ways, the carriers must, in lieu of
further physical expansion adopt
a more scientific method of or
dering and distributing cars.s
