 In offering the first Liberty Loan the government had in mind the probable, further draining of the sources from which the railways would receive sup plies and so appealed especially those of small and find investment in railway securities The govern rnent desired that as little possible of the huge to be raised for war purposes should come out of the already accumulated capital of the country But it became necessary in the case of both Liberty Loan offers to draw heavily upon this capital further capital.
 The investigations of last summer did not seem to show that the operation and maintenance of the railways were conducted at loss On the contrary, it was found that there a reasonable profit and so far as those two items alone are concerned they probably still yield profit notwithstanding the advance since of the of labor and materials. But extension and equipment are different matters. The profits are insufficient procure them. The money for them must be borrowed and those who have money lend must have an inducement to part with it. this consideration which it is thought will engage the attention of the commission as ac- cording to the dispatches of Monday, it had altered the attitude of many of the large shippers to the demand increase.

WHEN DEATH IS PREFERABLE

A pathetic scene was witnessed at railroad Sta- tion the other day when mother bade farewell to her son. he departed for training camp. The poor woman was almost overcome with emotion. Her only boy turning his back upon the home She felt that she was telling him good-by forever and stated to the manly fellow who stood before her. You will never come back she sighed-"Oh, my boy; you will come back to me if you go to France!"
 The young fellow took his mother in his arms. He assured her that the chances he would But" he said, listen mother: die fighting in France, shall be better off than you will be here in this country if Germany wins this war
 Mothers and fathers should read the words of this brave. boy. They should have them impressed upon theft minds. For since the started has any uttered greater philosophy The dead soldiers in France will be better off than the living people of this country if Germany wins!

 The regiment is doing very% nicely. considering the equipment that we have u work with. At present we have nc guns, nor equipment of any kind. 4 few days ago, We received twelve old cavalry horses, and yesterday we received sixty more, and we are get ting about twenty mules today-all of this with nothing but haiters, so We might just as well not have them. How
 ever, we are glad 10 get them. Any day whole train load of supplies is liable to arrive; we never know from one day to the next what we win have so We just keep busy with what We have to work with.
 "I am very much pleased at the conduct of the Arizona men. There have been no attractions of discip- ! line, which says a whole lot in itself, considering that the men have suffered t, quite a little hardship here on account i of the variable weather.

 figure the per capita amount to see
 if we had pulled up into the lead, after a little quiet canvassing that We did; ne informed me that our per capita was sufficiently ahead of the other
 regiments but it turned out that he
 was mistaken in his figures and we lost out. We all confidently expected

An Italian Suggestion For Relief

Among the things which the Italians have gested that the allies might do for their relief is the destruction of the Austrian forces in the iar bors of Trieste Pola and elsewhere to eliminate entirely all enemy naval vessels in the Adratc That is perhaps, more easily said than done and after it has been done could have little effect upon the invasion of Italy. It would of course permit the interrupted landing of troops on the southwestern shores of Italy in the the left wing of the Teutonic army but the Allies cannot enough do any good at that point Then there looms up again the difficulty, the impossbility of quick transportation of large bodies of So, for the present it appears make little difference what beligerent possesses naval control of the Adri atc
 It is a fact that the Allies already in whelning possession as they have been since the be- ginning of the war. The Austrans have disputed their possession only by submarine movements and then But as things have turned out within the last two weeks, the has moved away from the Adriatic.
 Furthermore, an attack upon fleet protected by shore batteries the Austrian fleet would be, is dangerous. The naval is outcassed by the coast gun as amply proved at the Dardanelles Then, too there would be the present menace of the lurking submarine in the Austrian ports. Desirable as may be destroy the Austrian naval power. the risk of attempting it is great that the fruits of accomplishment would be a sufficient reward
 Quicker aid can be given the Italians by throw ing in troops from the south through the Maritime Alps and in view of what is going in Italy, the quickest way is the best.

The State of the Railways

That the Interstate Commerce commission will allow the railroads the increase of freight rates asked for some months ago. and possibly more, now seems evident The collapse of the railway securities market may have a determining effect upon the decision of the commission
 The request has not been definitely denied The decision last summer merely held the matter up after allowing slight increases on some of the eastern roads and those the southern classification. The commission took the ground that sufficient showing had yet been of the need for such blanket increase
 Lately the exigencies of war have made an un- usual demand upon the facilities of the roads, dis closing in a great the lack of equipment which the roads had alleged for the purchase of

Col F. H. Yule, of the 340th regi ment of Camp Funston, to which the Arizona contingent, or what remains of it there, is attached, has acknowl- edged the receipt of a fund raised here for the boys for athletic equipment Evidently they lost no time making use of the fund.
 Col Yule writes Governor Campbell as follows:
 q am in receipt of your two let ters of October 18th and 23rd, en- closing checks for $157.00 and $l72.00, respectively. l have turned the money into the Regimental fund, and inn mediately had it checked out to the eight organizations of the regimnet, one eighth to each, viz: to Headquar- rers company, Supply company, Bat teries A. B. C, D. E and F.
 All of the above organizations have football teams, and they certainly ap- preciate having the money. We ha,e had several intra- a-regimental games, but have not, as yet played anybody outside of the regiment The men deirve a great deal of benefit from playing football and practicing.
