n 40 bargain in writing was nego-
IMi tiated three years ago this
II Nj summer when the four great
bodies of railroad men were in
terlocked by an alliance in respect to
wages and hours of labor.
The combination-now enga ged in a
contest with all the railroads of the
United States-was practically complet-
ed. except foi details, in Washington.
Eight hundred locomotive fremen, as
delegates from their brotherhood, meet
ing in secret, halted their proceedings
on two occasions and listened to ad-
dresses from Warren Sanford Stone,
chief of the engineers and Austin
Bruce Garretson. chief of the conduct
ors organization.
Mr. Stone had Travelled from Ohio and
Mr.. Garretson from Iowa purposely to
say that THE men who run the trains"
and move the products of the country
should In self-interest stand together
William ;. Carter, chief of the fremen
themselves was OF the same opinion,
and on every possible occasion preached

Born in 1913, Courtney is in his 6Sth

Of Charles E. Courtney, for many years

an epoch in American intercollegiate
rowing and the first break in the trio
Of coaches who have made Cornell vic

Of the Cornell alumni and Undergrad
yates, Courtney is removed from any
financial worries or cares He owns
outright a handsome home and grounds
at Ithaca overlooking Cayuga lake, the
gift Of Cornell men, in addition to a
comfortable competency. There he Will
be found in future ready to advise and
assist from his great store OF rowing
knowledge and experience, those who
will take up the burden he has laid
down.
Cornell rowing authorities are at the
present time uncertain as to the ex-
act coaching system and methods that

the coaches, IL will be hard for Court

Good Judge Of Material.
Courtney has always been a wonder
Iul Judge OF rowing material even in
the rough and although strict and Sc
we're at all times, would spend hours
with embryo oarsmen who showed
promise and desire TO learn the art
OF sweep swinging He would never
brook interference from any quarter
during the rowing season and never
IorgaVe those candidates who broke

thrown man or a whole crew out OF
the shell because they violated his
rules and they never came back In
rowing, he was an autocrat and marti-
net but he produced results: had the

A Great Oarsman.
Courtney's standing and effectiveness
as coach were not the only claims
he had for prominence in the rowing
world In early life as an amateur he
won IS events without suffering 4
single defeat Later as a professional
ne won 80 contests and lost only seven
truly a wonderful record Before he

was out OF his teens Courtney had
successfully competed in rowing regat-
tas. but il was at Saratoga Springs in
1878 that he won his first great vic
tory. That was on September II. when
he captured the Senior SOULS event in
1915 Two years later he duplicated
this victory at Troy. y. Y. and the
year following at Philadelphia, he and
his club-mate Robinson OF the Union
Springs Boat club won the National
Double SOULS repeating their winning
of the same event at Troy, y. Y, the
previous year.
In the professional ranks Courtney
was very successful in rowing cOmpeti-
lions but an attack Of sunstroke IN
1878 marked the beginning OF his de-
cline and in May, 1879, while rowing
against Hanlan and Riley at Washing
ton, Courtney was taken III before he
had gone 500 yards.

shows that Italy has alread used one
half OF its horned cattle to feed its
army.
Russia is probably best off in this
respect, though heavy demands on
its meat production have also been
made. To feed its army, estimated
at eight million men under arms, took
during the first year no less than
900, oOo, 900 heads of meat animals.
France in addition to having lost
a considerable share OF meat animals,
is obliged to feed about three million
refugees from the occupied depart
ments and Belgium. Russia has to
care similarly for over six million
refugees.
Between the average normal meat
consumption Of the nations at war,
ranging from 10 to $50 pounds per
capita, and the consumption Of meat
by some 25,000.000 men under arms,
running from 200 and 260 pounds per
man, In the Italian and French armies
respectively, and reaching 456 pounds,
per capita in the German, Austro.
Hungarian and Russian armies, there
is difference OF roughly 3,45O,000
tons. According to French economists
It takes 142,O00,000 animals to pro-
duce this annually.
The total meat animal stock Of the
belligerent states was 343,700,000
heads at the outbreak Of the war. The
excess consumption by the armies Of
Europe is therefore a little more than
Al per cent. Of the annual supply of
meat, a serious matter when 1t Is
considered that with these inroads up
on live stock the rate of reproduction
is also much decreased. -,
For the time being, however, the
problem affects the Central powers
mainly in the supply of pork. The man
at the front prefers that meat to any
other, because in army terms, t
sticks to the ribs" better. Mutton
Is not a fayorite, because the men
think 1t too eight" and beef is en-
ioSed only If It has been cooked in
the field kitchen. Pigs, however, are
prolific reproducers, and a few years
chance to multiply will make them as
plentiful as ever. With horned cat
tie uick rehabilitation in this man
ner is not possible. and beef is for
this reason likely to remain scarce
article long after peace is declared.

I d. BEST SOLDIERS
That's the Testimony Of
Austria Officers who Have
Studied Situation.

VIENNA, Jan. 12.-(Correspondence
ofSThe Associated Press-) The calling
I to the colors of men between the ages
OF fifty and f1fty-tive, has caused the
discussion in the Austro-Hungarian
press of what the older men have done
In this war.
The view had been generally held
that the man at fifty had passed into
old age, so far as military value was
concerned, but the war Ia said to have
proven that this position is untena-
ble.
4 Il is admitted that in trades and oc-
cupations requiring physical dextertty,
the man over fifty Is apt to be fall
ure. though the well-preserved worker
OF that age Is generally still capable
of great endurance.
The experience in the army is that
men up to thirty are generally less
hardy than men up to fifty. In addi-
tion to being as yet far from "physi-
cally set" that is entirely beyond the
growing stage, the younger men otten
reduce their endurance and physical
yieor. generally by incorrect eating.
Older men are not in the habit OF DO
ing this, it is asserted.
But the young men sin also in other
respects. Often they are Indifferent
toshardship when they should not be;
while the older men see to 1t that their
feets are always dry and warm, the
younger soldiers overlook this habttu-
with the officers, the soldier is the
fayorite. Not only does he give less
trouble to the sanitary department,
hut ripper mind understands more
readily the purposes and necessity of
military discipline.
AnbAustrian colonel with whom this
Tsub1ect was discussed said that older
troops needed little application of dis.
cipline, because their natural conduct
