SWEDISH ATHLETES TO. VISIT UNITED STATES.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The recent visit of the American track and field team to Scandinavia promises to be out the forerunner of other and more important intersectional athletic con tests. As result of the competition of the team in Sweden, the sum of l65,00 crowns (S44,500) has been sub scribed by the leading patrons of amateur sports in that country. for the financing of q return invasion Of Swedish athletes to the United States during the summer of 1917. With this sum in hand it appears all most certain that Coach Ernie Hjert berg will bring a team of from ten to twenty of the best swedish track and field performers to these shores next season. while an An-Sweden football team Is likely to be an additional ai- traction.
 The American athletes brought back from Sweden an imposing gold and silver tanl<ard inscribed to Simpson, Murray, Meredith, Ward and Loomis and this has been turned over to the Amateur Athletic Union which financ- ed the trip of the team to Scandinavia. Several suggestions have been ad- vanced regarding the final disposition of this trophy, among them being one tO the effect that it be offered as a perpetual prize for international ath- letics between teams representing this country and those of Scandinavia. It
 Is possible that this proposal will be carried out and the cup put up for the 1917 games, should the Swedish team come to the United States.

 This was but n small proportion of

Many came from distant parts of the coun- try and railroad fare. hotel accom- modstions and meals cost sums far in excess of the actual amounts paid for admission 10 the Yale bowl and the Polo grounds.

W. M. ACwORTH's STATEMENT


 The more the statement recently made by-W. M. Acworth, perhaps the foremost expert of Great Britain upon railway management and operation in that king dom is read the more discussion 1t causes. It was contributed to one of the monthly statements issued by banks of New York. Three things stand out prom inently when this statement is discussed. One is his assertion that whenever he is brought in contact with American rail- roads an overpowering impression is pro- duced on his mind that is caused by the marvellous results attained by the eff ciency of railroad men in the United States at minimum expenditure of cap ital and income. So great is this eff ciency that MT. Acworth is justified in saying that the average mile of English railroad costs as many pounds sterling as the American mile costs dollars. In other words, the cost stands in favor of the United States as one dollar to five in England.
 Another point made by Mr. Acworth is not original, for it does no more than to confirm what the great railroad leaders of the past 25 years have asserted to be the fact-namely. that the railroads of the United States need much greater ter mnal facilities That was the view taken by James J. Hill, who regarded improve ment of railway terminals as the first imperative need of the great trunk lines and it was always the view of c. F. Huntington and E. H. Hartman, after he became the dominant power in the Union Pacific. Mir Acworth thinks that the American railroads will have to spend vast sums of money for the enlargement and improvement of terminal accommodate ton. This criticism is the only one he makes of railroad management.
 DISPOSITION OF PUBLIC
 Another feature of Mr. Acworth's state ment which is spoken of with gratifica- tion is his assertion that he has dis covered great change in the attitude of the public toward the railroads. Those reading between the lines of the state ment think they can discover an intima- tion that he has also discovered a change in the attitude of the railroads toward the public
 These changes indicate future co-opera- ton and not continued antagonism. MT. Acworth does not base his statement on guesswork alone but in part upon re ports received in New York recently from correspondents all over the country. Thirteen hundred and ten of these cor respondents report that antagonism to- ward railroads is abating and only Ia correspondents assert that the former attitude still remains. So, also. If these correspondents reflect general public opinion per cent increase in rates would not be greatly opposed. If thtre could be per cent increase. all of it net income, then in the view of Mir. Ac- worth the railroads will be in position to secure the vast amount of new capital which they must obtain speedily if they are to be able to meet ~-rands made upon them for transp0T "a Iion by American producers and consumers,

ANNIsTON

| Annston. July -(Special.)-S. P. Kennedy, president of the Alabama public service commission, and one of the members of the Anniston Mercantile company in this city, left Tuesday night for Asheville. N. C., at which place he spent an extended va cation last summer. He will be away from the city several days.
 Anniston cotton mills are furnishing their quota of men for the Alabama Ma tional Guard, who are encamped at Montgomery. Six have gone from South ern mills, three from Blue Mountain, three from the Annston Manufacturing company and several from the Woodstock and Adelaide mills. Two more men were Tuesday.
 Calhoun county militiamen who are en- camped at Montgomery consider the An niston camp far superior to that at the Capital City, according to letters they have written back home. They say the local camps are better drained and more comfortable during bad weather
 While playing soldier near her home in the Central foundry neighborhood. Jose phine, the 9-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs J. L. Taylor, was shot by her play mate, Paul Showkowski. The shot was fired with a .22-calibre rifle, entering her right lung. She died Tuesday morning. The parents of the little girl and her innocent a ssailant are all prostrated with grief, it being plain that the death was due to an accident.

SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT NOW

It is believed that neither MT. Hughes nor President Wilson will meet with un- fortunate incidents while upon their cam paigning tours. Both are likely to kindle great excitement and both have person. alties which will strongly appeal not only to public curiosity, but to public interest. Therefore the campaign is likely to take on very interesting aspects. Curiously enough, business men and the men of finance look upon manifesto tions of that kind with favor this year, although in the past they would have regretted over-ex- citement because it would intensity busi- ness lassitude and serve to procrastinate
