grown has learned to spell by note and will not abandon
that system to take up the modern spelling which large

whether this is what he meant will perhaps not be known

and especially England to make kind of peace 1t is
this hope held out to the German people by the junkers
that encourages them to make every sacrifice believing it

No official notice of the pending

of the Santa Fe. And the roads have
made no preparation to combat the
actions threatened by the brother
hoods. The Santa Fe will be in the
same condition as the other roads in
the east Both the railroads and the
brotherhoods in the east have agreed
to await the decision of the supreme
court on the Adamson law before any
action is taken and the roads here at
Topeka will advance no plans for
combating the strike until such de-
cision is rendered.
The Rock Island and Union Pacific
roads are in the same condition as the
Santa Fe-no plans to fight the pend
ing strike nor no suggestions as to the
result.
According to ths schedule made by
the railroad brotherhoods of the east
western division of the roads some
eastern men have acted. These orders
are to be countermanded if the mana
gers come to terms.
The railroad officials in this section
of the country have a great deal of
confidence in the power of the presl-
dent to order operation of the roads
a sucn a time when war is impending.
The fact that the trains carry United
States mail will make no difference
in the strike, according to the repre-
sentatives of the brotherhoodS.
