A MAD FREIGHT TRAIN IDEA

Everybody in the ranks Of the
general public will agree with the
railway managers that the campaign
which the railway workers are wag-
ing, particularly in the West, for
shorter trains, while at the same
time demanding higher pay and
fewer hours of work, is of all pos
sible claims the most preposterous.
Indeed, in economics it is an idea
little short of mad.
The railroads have spent hundreds
of millions of dollars lowering
grades, eliminating sharp curves,
ballasting roadbeds and putting in
heavy rails, so that powerful loco
motives, larger cars, and longer
trains could be handled in one move
ment. If this object had not been
achieved railway wages never could
have been advanced to the point at
which they already have arrived and
traffic rates never could have been
held down where they are today
without the whole railroad system of
the United States being made a
financial wreck.
Any child can see that if, after the
principal railroads of the country
have been reconstructed to haul the
heavier tonnage in mass, you cut
every freight train in half, the cost
of operation must be increased stu.
pendously, with two locomotives
where one now does, with two engi
neers where one now does, with two
! firemen where one now does, with

THE LESSON OF SEA POWER

Trebizond has fallen before joint
sea and land power of Russia, and
its fall points a lesson that Ameri-
cans may well consider at this time.
Lying on the southern shore of the
Black Sea, Trebizond is of great i'm
portance, in both the military and
commercial sense. It's capture opens
the way for much easier movement
of the Russian Caucasus forces east
ward toward Constantinople. 1t was
strongly held, and so long as it re-
manned in Turkish hands was a mem
ace to any effort of the joint Rus
sian and British forces to subdue
the Asia Minor and Mesopotamian
regions. With it in their hands, the
allies have measurably secured the
Suez canal against the possibility of
effective attack, especially in view of
the earlier capture of Erzerum, 100
miles to the south.
But it is the lesson of Trebizond
that is deserving of consideration
just now. From the beginning Of
the war, the Russian feet in the
great Black Sea has been supreme,
The announcement from Petrograd
states that the cooperation of the
fleet was largely responsible for the
capture Of the city; the fleet held
the sea, conveyed transports, and
made possible the landing of troops
under its guns.
Go back to the beginning of the
war, and it will be observed that
wherever either side has held nava'
supremacy, there that side has
gained its victories. The British anC
French sea power was supreme il
the waters Of the world at large
and German commerce was de
stroyed, while the German high se'
fleet was driven into the close quar-
tiers back of Helgoland. British
and French sea power ruled thu
Mediterranean, and without doub
this fact is the largest single factol
in bringing Italy into the war al
their ally. British power has rulet
the North Sea, and from this side tn,
blockade of Germany has been eff
fective. Russia's feet has dominate,
in the Black Sea, and there Russi'
wins her great Caucasus campaign.
In just one quarter has Germany
feet been able to maintain suprem
acy: in the Baltic. Maintaining
that dominance, Germany has KEEP
open a window on the outer world
through the Scandinavian peninsuls
She has kept the interest, and there
fore to a considerable degree tn
!. sympathies, of the Scandinavia
countries on her side. She has men
} aced Riga and Petrograd, has bee
able to transport supplies fror
Scandinavia, has made il impos
sible for Britain to insist that
J blockade of Germany has been con
= pleted. Sea power in the Baltic hs
saved the central empires from con
plete isolation.

Bakers Announcement.
In announcing the orders to General
Scott to proceed to the border. Secre-
tary Baker said:
General Scott leaves for San Antonio
this evening at 6:15 at my request. He
will spend several days with General
Funston, and return. The trip IL made
solely for the purpose OF getting as ac-
curate information as possible for the
use Of the department. General Fun
ston remains in full charge of the af-
fairs OF his department, including the
expedition into Mexico. He has the
full conndAnce Of the department. and
entire approval.
While 1t IL generally assumed that
the main purpose of sending Scott

may arise, there In alao the sugRes-
ton thrown out that It may have to
do with a withdrawal OF the troops.

and Secretary Baker had a long con-
ference on the Mexican situation at
the White House last night
II IL known that many OF the Presi-
dents advisers, In view Of the threat
ened break with Germany. have been
urging him to withdraw the troops
and accept the assurances OF the Car
rama authorities that villa IL dead.
AZ present there are less than 5000
mobile troops In continental United
states which are not now on the
border. and for that reason II is
realized that any material increase in
the strength of the Mexican expedi-
ton would have to be followed by a

NINETY MARKSMEN
VISIT RANGE TODAY
RifIemen From Treasury, War,
and Labor Departments Go
to Winthrop for Practice.

Ninety riflemen OF the Treasury De-
partment, War Department, and De-
partment Of Labor, and the Florida Rifle
Clubs. went to Winthrop today for work
on the outdoor rifle range.
As the steamer de Barry pulled away
from her wharf at Eighth and X streets
at o'clock. from all sides sounded the
hope that today's outing will not suffer
the fate OF yesterdays.
Word was brought here by dtsappoint-
ed marksmen belonging to the Depart
ment OF Commerce. Interstate Commerce
Commission. Civil Service Commission.
and half a dozen other clubs. that It
was impossible for them to land at Win
throp yesterday.
Gale Prevented Landing.
When the steamer reached the rifle
raNe. the high gale which was holding
steadily made a landing at the Win
throp wharf particularly dangerous, and
so II was foregone. Instead of working
at the targets, the members OF the clubs
were given instruction In theoretical
shooting aboard the steamer during the
trip down and back.
The steamboat company today an
nounced through rifle association head
quarters that all who were disappoint-
ed yesterday will receive tickets for
another trip.
II also was announced today that q
| meeting of rifle club officers was held
| on the steamer, on the trip back from
the range Monday evening.
Ask For Navy Surgeon.
During the meeting a suggestion wal
adopted that a request be made of tbs
| Secretary OF the Navy to assign 9
navy surgeon to accompany the d.
Barry on her trips. The detail OF thu
surgeon was requested so that he nigh
| instruct the members of the rifle club
| In first aid work.
Major Fred Phillips. OF the associa
ton. said today that he placed the re
| quest before MIR. Daniels and that thu
Secretary has agreed to make the de
tail.

MOTORISTS ARRIVE.

Messrs 7. C. Graden and r. Fl.
Sloan. who went to Denver last week
made the trip overland and reached
Durango yesterday evening.
They report the roads good in part
and very bad in part They motored
from Denver TO Salida the first day
out and had fine days drive. From
Salida they motored to Saguache and
then came over the famous gungar
rel road from Saguache to Monte Wis
ia. This part of the road they found
in good condition, excepting the high
culverts which caused the motoris,
to slow down to prevent damage to
the car.
At Monte Vista they turned east
to Alamosa and found very good roads
as far as Antonito. From Antonito
south they found high centers and
dangerous rocks in the roads as well
as plenty Of sand in places. The
roads are bad in many places in the
stretch from Antonito to Pagosa by
the way of TERRA Amarillo and
Chama. 1t was on this stretch that
they experienced a little trouble
that caused some delay in their home
ward trip.
This is beautiful six-cylnder car
modern in every way and we take il
for granted that they will receive
much pleasure riding in it over tho
San Juan roads and the Colorado
roads when the highway is complet
ed.

EXERCISE AND
CREclAN BEAUTY
WHAT, IT MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now.
a-days paying attention to physical cui-
ture and the proper exercise of theif
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, excclled III beautiful and SYM
metrical forms was because of the at
tention they paid to the proper cxer-
else Then, too, they were untram-
meled by corscts, shoes and the in
convenienccs of clothing To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea of hard
fatig,iing work. Mild exercise con-
tinucd day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof of the
sound remedial value of DR.. Picrce's
Favorite Prescription than that it re-
stores the wasted form 10 its wonted

SAN JUAN BEGINS WORK.

Tomorrow the San Juan county of
ficers will have their force Of sur
veyors down TO the La Plata county
line TO begin work on the Silverton
highway in San Juan county.
Owing to the deep snow it has
been impossible for them to begin
work out of Silverton south, but they
have decided to come down to the
La Plata line and begin from this
side, which is the proper thing to
do. The road must be surveyed be
fore the contract can be let. This
takes time and they want to get as
much work done this year as it is
possible.
When once this work is starte1
there will be no time to stop except
for winter, until the road is com
plete. s~
The La Plata county commission
ers are busy on the La Plata end Of
the road and all interested may un-
derstand that the work on the Du-
range -Silverton highway wall be push
ed with vigor until the Durango mo-
toiist can whistle into 0uray.
