NORTHWEST BUSINESS MEN
FIGHT RAILWAY FOR STREET


A horrible stencil came from big,
black, windowless building standing
at SD av. and the St, Paul railroad
tracks and was waited by the wind
down on group of men who were
talking excitedly and pointing at the
railroad embankment. When it
reached them they coughed and
sputtered. Some looked sick. All
chewed on cigars in an effort to dull
their sense of smell.
UGH" exclaimed one of the men.
What is that?"
THAT is from the Northwestern
Mailing Co.," answered another
Smells rotten, doesn't it? Well, we
have tried for years to get the health
department to take action here and
they have done nothing. You should
smell the plant in summer. Thou
sands of people have been made
deathly sick from it in one night"
The group comprised committee of
Northwest Side business men and
property owners who were eldeav-
oring to show committee from the
board of local improvements and Aid
Michaelson how the St.-Paul railroad
has tried to take hundred yards of
SD .av., which they had enclosed
with a spur of railroad track jutting
from the main line.
The board and the aldermen would
make no promises. They cut the in
terview as short as possible and hur-
ried to a waiting automobile, which
quickly carried them away from the
stencil of old malt.
Standing beside rusty water plug,
proving that at one time the city did
have street surveyed there, the men
continued to talk.
Fifty-second av. is right where the
Cragin freight yards of the st. Paul
line begin. From 51st to 64th the
railroad has blocked everything. A
long trestle work bridge runs across

/ Paul had to elevate it's tracks at this
point, they promised to build sub
way. They did not do this" ex-
claimed H. K. Thornbush, 1904 w.
North .av., one of the committee.
'They have prevented the develop
ment of the whole Northwest Side.
We want the SD St car line to run
from Lake st., where it ends now,
to the Milwaukee aV. line. This will
give us transportation for hundreds
of acres of vacant land which soon or
later will be crowded with people. We
also want the Humboldt park ''L' to
come out this way and develop u.s."
Thornbush's voice rose as he made
this last assertion. A freight train
was passing.
Look at that engines smoke now,
will you. Nice and white, isn't it?
look at those others's&&4ehis arm in
cluded 10 belching locomotives in the
yards. you should see them at night
when their engineers aren't so care
full about their smoke consumers.
Then is the time their smoke eats the
paint. from our houses and kills our
trees"
yes, these are just a few of the
Improvements for which we are
fighting to make this Northwest Side
a cleaner and healthier place to live
in, said Alexander ,Beifeld, a real es-
tate man. "Fifty-second av. is half
section line and the car line, which
now runs to Lake St, should come
this far. We are going to do all we
can to get these improvements"

bodied man and woman would be en- listed for the country's defense; 1; there would be universal service in- stead of the limited compulsory sys- tenn which now obtains. The associa- tion is convinced that freedom and independence can be assured only when all who are able, conscious of their duty, prepare themselves in ser vice in the country's defense forces, with a view, in case of necessity, to being able to defend those most sacred possessions of the nation"
 The concrete scheme of the asso- citation takes the form of general compulsory training, with limited repetition training and service, and local and provincial training and or ganization. Starring out from the principle that the basis of all defense must be the forming of a powerful race, the program would provide phy- sical exercise in the schools, and sub seQuent preparatory training of the youth of the country. After this the time actually spent in the ranks would be comparatively short, the assOcia- tion argues, citing what has been seen in that respect in the present war.
 Only a few of the large levies thus obtained would suffice to form the field army. Thence the men would pass out into the focal troops''- territorial defense forces. These lat ter would be so organized that, to- gether with the strong localized from tier and coast guards, they could be ready to take the field in a few hours
 While the focal troops" would. in the first place, serve for defense, the field army would be destined for of fensive operations The two together would form a force of about 8OO,- 900 men, fully trained, while there would still be a reserve in the depots of more than 50O,000 men, making up the total of 100000 mentioned. Summarized this new national army would be constituted as follows:
 Frontier and costal troops, 134.50O men; field army, 100000; position troops, 15,500; marine 5000; local troops, 534, 300: total, 796,50O men. Reserve: Local Reserve, first ban,
 100000 men; second ban, 10000 men; total, 57O,O0O men.
 With such an army, which $ rep l resented as quite feasible, the old automatic principle of retiring behind l the famous Dutch "water line" mig hi | be abandoned and positions taken ur 1 immediately behind the frontier, the association points out
 The basic idea of the program is said to enjoy wide sympathy and sup. ! port, and the plan is expected tc ] come up for serious consideration ir l one form or another when the present l crisis is past.
