Predicts Federal Ownership

of A. n. Garrctson. leader OF the big
four railroad brotherhood fight for
an eigh,-hour day, Avoidance OF q

believes. Ia only one OF q series OF
steps toward such an end
Ten years hence" he predicted.
you viii see mighty stride toward
government ownership and operation
OF all railroads aa we'll al other pub
lie and auasi-public utilities. I be-
licyc In such a program. after ma
ture reflection, take this view: that
there are deadly dangers In govern.
mont ownership. but that with the
government engaged In regulation
as II must-~l feel that We must
choose the least dangerous. That Is
government operation and ownership,
The sentiment IN that direction has
grown steadily. as q bricklayer would
say Settlement OF the strike is Just
another course In the structure,
Garrctson explained that some
roads may face n balance on the
wrong side OF their books as a result
z of government regulation,
'Then." he continued, such lines
must look to tho government for re-
imburscmcnt, But the lines making
a profit should not be allowed TO es-
cape while their weaker associates
are put under government control
and assistance. Hence. as l see Il.
government operation and control OF
all railroads must result"
Commenting on the Garretson in
tervlew. one OF the foremost experts
OF the country said today;
Ills statement that this Is one
course In the structure In mild. II
appears to me that this law has about
built the whole structure for govern
ment ownership, II certainly has
brought such a situation 10 years
nearer to realization"

RETAL|AT0RY
MEASURES
PROTESTED
Allied Diplomats Object to
Action on the Part Of Con-
gress to Offset The British
Blackisting Order

Washington, Sept. 5.--With the
allied diplomats in Washington pro-
testing against retaliatory legislation
already enacted by congress to Offset
the British blacklist. the senate to-
day struck two more blows.
Amendments adopted to the rev.
enue bill are likely, some oficials
believe. to result in Official objections
taking the place OF the private,
though positive protests against re-
taliation which certain diplomats
here have voiced.
The first act today was passage OF
Senator Thomas amendment to the
revenue bill empowering the president
to retaliate agai1st any beIligerent
commerce ship that discriminates
against American shippers and ex-
porters.
The second was adoption Of SEN
ator Phelan's amendment to the same
measure, refusing rights of the
United States mails or the facilities
of any interstate express company or
of any wireless, telegraph or cable
company to the citizens of belliger-
ent countries which discriminate
against Americans.
Both amendments explicitly en-
power the president to take these
steps Whenever during existence Of
a war in which the United States is
not engaged the president shall be
satisfied there is reasonable ground
to believe" belligerent governments
have denied all lawful rights to all
American citizens.
Violations of both proposed laws
are punishable by fines of $4,000 or
two years Imprisonment, or both.
Both admittedly are retaliatory mea-
sures against Great Britain's black
list and seizure and detention Of
mails.
Thomas amendment was drawn
with the approval of the state depart
ment and President Wilson is em-
powered by its terms to use amy part
of the land and naval forces he deems
necessary" to uphold 1t.

witnessed the retreat of the German
armies under smashing British and

General Foch struck south of the
Somme yesterday. while the main
body of Teuton reserves was prepar-
ing to resist another great blow north
of the river. The French successes
in this new drive equalled the gains
made north of the river on the pre-
ceding day. Soyecourt has been cap

He advised our people to be neutral even in thought" undecided between right and wrong While our friends abroad Were fighting for the principles We held equally with them. he taught us that profits and ease were better than self respect President Wilson has done our nation the most serious injury that any leader can do to any people by making Us finch with him from a great moral decision. Thereby he weakened our hold as a nation on the principles which alone can make any people self -respecting safe and strong.
 Having led us wrong on the ground that We must be neutral in the face Of the deliberate breaking of the world s peace, he has just reversed himself again, and in his speech at Shadow Lawn now assures us that No nation can any longer remain neutral as against any wilful disturbance of the ! peace Of the world
 It is had enough that Wilson's for | cign policy has left us. as the wal draws toward its end. without a friend among the great nations of the world and without the respect of any one of
