NOW this SOUNDS GOOD

The enterprising citizens of Lancas-
ter have adopted the plan of having
several "big days" in the spring and
fall. and they are made so entertaining
that people come to the city from all
parts of Garrsrd and neighboring coun-
ties. Last Monday an automobile and
other valuable prizes were gwen away
and there was much excitement in the
contest. The plan serves well to bring
the people together and likewise brings
much business to the merchants. They

BOSTON. Dec. l.-Inyestigatiuns Of the high cost of living which are now being made by federal officials or lagents throughout the country will be directed By George Anderson. the United States attorney for this district, it was announced here today. Attorney General Gregory. according to state ment issued by the United States at toTney's office. has asked Mir Anderson to take charge of the investigations so that the work may be coordIna,ed and made as effective and rapid as pos sible.'
 The statement continues;
 ITO that end. Mir Anderson has re- ceived a formal appointment as special assistant to the attorney general. which, by the way. involves no Increase of salary or other compensation.
 While technically the jurisdiction of the department Of justice is only to deal with Illegal restraints of interstate commerce, the investigations will take a rather wide range and all pertinent facts and information will be used as effectively as possible to bring about a coordination between government and business forces.
 Undoubtedly other departments of the government, like the department ef agriculture the department of com merce. the federal trade commission and the interstate commerce commits sion will have data and views which will be of the greatest assistance ln this matter Of course. the department is under no delusive notion that it can

Railroads 10 Send
 More Box Cars Out
 West Where Needed
[Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK. Dec l.-To afford quick relief to the railroads which are suffering much from a car shortage the American Railway Association to- day undertook to force a large number of box cars from other sections of the country to the south and west. An nOuncement was made here that in- structions had been issued to virtually all railroads by the conference com mittee on car efficiency of the associas tion directing them to turn over to their southern and western connections more box cars than were received in return. This applies both to loaded and empty cars.
 Under these directions. it was an nounced, New England railroads which have on their lines more cars than they own, must turn over to their southern and western connections 30 per cent more cars than they receive from these lines.
 Railroads of the trunk lines and cen tral freight territory and lines of the central west. regardless of the number of cars on their lines, were instructed to send west and south 20 per cent more cars than they receive in return. Southern and western roads were re- quped to give to their southern and western connections 10 per cent more cars than they receive.
 Western railroads were directed by the committee to discourage sending to the Atlantic seaboard and New Eng land freight which apparently cannot be unloaded and disposed of on it's arrival Eastern roads were urged to refuse to accept such freight from other lines or from shippers on their own lines.
 All railroads were directed to send to the conference committee on car eff ficiency at Washington weekly reports showing the number of cars received or delivered to other roads, so as to in- dicate the direction in which the cars were moved
 In announcing this action the com mittee stated that it Is anxious to force a large number of box cars to the west, northwest. south and south west. where there is urgent need of them

 WASHINGTON, Dec. l.-Acting on its own behalf the American govern men has informed Germany anew of it's deep concern over the deportation of Belgians from their own country by the German military authorities. This action has been taken as q result of information about the deportatiOns gathered from different sources, and after fruitless informal efforts on be- half of the Belgians made by American Charge Grew at Berlin.
 Germany has been informed that the treatment of the Belgians has made q very bad impression on this country and that the United States cannot avoid taking notice of the situation, basing it's stand on the broad grounds of humanity.
 The American government, it was learned today was led to move not only because of the expressed feeling that the deportations have been looked upon by disfavor both by the American peo- pie and government. but because of fear that Belgian relief work, which is administered by Americans. may be in terfered with.
 The information already in the hands of the state department on the situa- tion was supplemented today by the Belgian minister, L. Havenith, who re- ported to Secretary Lansing that more than 100000 Belgians had been deport- cd and that deportations are continu- ing at the rate of 5000 week. He

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-As resig nations of army officers can come to the war department only through the regular military channels. it will be several days at least before any conn munication from the officers of the Twelfth New York infantry, reported to have resigned yesterday, will reach Washington. Meanwhile. officials of the department decline to pass any formal opinion upon the case.
 Onlr in the event there was a con spiracy resignation in concerted action. it was. said would court martials be likely to follow. At any rate. it was explained, the case must he dealt with first by Major General O'Ryan. and then perhaps by Major General Fun ston before the department could be- come involved. It is rather expected that the whole matter can be ad- juste6 satisfactorily in Texas after the officers concerned have had time fully to consider their action.
 A statement complied today shows that since the mobilization of the mi litia in the border states President Wilson has accepted the resignation of 450 national guard officers who desir- ed 10 leave the service for personal or business consideration.

WASHINGTON. Dec. i.-Although no official news of the rout of the Carranza forces at Chihuahua by the Villa bandits came 10 the state or war departments today or 10 the Mexican embassy EliseO Arredondo. the ambas- sador- designate. after confeyences with Secretaries Lansing and Baker. ex pressed the belief that the unofficial reports were true and ascribed the de- feat of the Carranza forces to a lack of ammunition and food rather than demoralization.
 Soon after NIT. Arredondos visit 10 them. Secretaries Lansing and Baker separately conferred with President Wilson. No announcement was made, but it was apparent in official circles that there was some apprehension over the situation which might confront this government should Villa advance north. as has been predicted take Jua- reg. and establish himself as d de facto authority again at the door of the United States
 From d military standpoint. posses sion of Juarez and Chihuahua might lead Co possession of Monterey Saltillo and Durango and practical military control of the east portion of northern Mexico.
 The most potent element with which Villa has to reckon in any such move ment is the American punitive expedi- ton in Mexico, spread out behind him and fully equipped for any emergency. Officials here have not the slightest fear of the ability of General Pershing to protect himself against any force that might be brought against him. They arc more interested in what would be the attitude of the United States government should Villa. for whose capture the expedition was sent into Mexico. get between General Per shing's force and the border line.
 Those here well informed on Mexican affairs declare that the shortage of ann munition among the Carranza defen- ders of Chihuahua City is entirely an internal affair with the Carranga gov ernment and is in no wise chargeable to the embargo on munitions from the United States. They point out that General Obregon. General Carranza's first war minister. has long been in

personal control of practically all the ammunition in the Carranza arsenals and that repeated appeals from General Trevino for supplies have met with little CT no response IL is said that Trevilo at no time has had enough ammunition to fight through battle.
 What effect the ascendancy of Villa will have on the attitude of the United States depends upon what progress Villa makes within the next few weeks and what steps the Carranza forces take to restore their control of the nor thern country.
 Villas sudden victory, coming at a time when the protocol arranged by the Mexican American commission for the withdrawal of the American expe- dition and policing of both sides of the border is before the two governments, for action. has suddenly complicated q troublesome situation. which seemed on the way 10 settlement. The opin- ion prevails here that there will be no change in the American policy for the present and that the next steps will be guided by developments including General Carranza's action on the pro- ocol signed at Atlantic City.

CONGRESS SHOULD KEEP NJ RECORD

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-Speaker Clark said today that if congress wanted to clean the legislative slate and go home next March 1. he gladly would join in movement to elim- mate useless oratory by cutting down gallery space and abolishing the con gressional record and to introduce voting machines
 'It isn't difficult to see that the galleries and the record cause an aw- ful waste of time and money" the speaker declared today as he paused In his efforts to outline a plan where by a sessions work can be done in s legislative days. Any time that the galleries arc full, the orators on the floor are posing and wasting time. And everybody knows there are any number of congressman who talk for the record a great deal more than is necessary.
 The record is not necessary. The English house of commons has none A journal Is kept. Dr. Johnson used to write it after the days proceed ings were over He simply recorded who spoke and which side they were on.
 T haven't much hope, though, thas would receive macl1 support if started to make fight for smaller galleries and no record, so l wont start it. But there is hope that the present method of taking roll calls win be abolished. It is archaic and a time -waster.'
 The speaker also favors reducing the house from 4s5 to 300 members and holding it to that number.
