THE JEFFERSONIAN
FAVORING KNIGHTS OF COLUMN
BUS?

Dear Sir: On Friday the goth
inst, the Kansas City Star published
complete Its of the names and
numbers of those drawn for service
as per registration 81 that city. AS
we are near Kansas City We have
number of friends living there,
among them two Catholic families
who have two and four sons respec-
lively of registration age. Lat Sum
day (22nd) one of these friends was
here to dinner and we naturally
spoke of the draft the first thing.
We have two sons, 1921 and 1917,
and we knew they had four. Very
little was said that day however, but
they seemed to take mighty little
interest in the matter, claiming there
would be another drawing. After
they left I got the list and with the
names and those Of their sons did
not appear Then I went to think
ing and it occurred to me they were
Knights of Columbus. Then I looked
up another friend (Irish Catholic
and K c. who we know has two
sons of age to go and their names
were not in the list.
Now what about this business II
this draft is crooked, we must find
it out at once. What would you adj
wise? 1t is my idea they registered
hut those K. of c.. names taken out.
Can you find out and what do you
advise
Sincerely,
f. w. SMITH.
Answer: No advice could reach

WANTS MAsON's BILL UPHELD.

Dear Sir: Seeing that your maya
zine is a patriotic one and stands for
all things that are right and which
are American, | as a freedom loving
citizen and an upholder of the Con-
stitution will ask you to support
Congressman Mason's bill of illinois,
No. 1884, so that our drafted men
will not be taken outside the terri
torial limits of the U. S. unless they
volunteer for such service. be-
lieve if the people can be informed
on this matter they will bring enough
pressure to bear on their Congress-
men so that it will go through very
easily. 1t is your duty and mine to
urge every mother, every father. and
furthermore every citizen in the land
to write to their Congressman urg-
ing them to support that bill No.
1884. Come let us get together and
consolidate our power. This is our
last chance I believe. Hoping YOU
much success.
Yours respectfully,
Ohio, JOHN d. T. DAVIS.

lowed by renewal of activity on the
part Of buyers, and it collides with
even greater pressure Of orders from
domestic consumers, according TO
The Iron Trade Review:
Foreign demand again is looming
large, and The problem Of makers is
TO determine how much of this BUSH
ness they safely may take on, in
view of the tremendous pressure for
supplies in purely domestic channels.
A significant development in foreign
trade is the temperance of the En-
tente governments as prospective
buyers Of large quantities of shell
forgings and miscellaneous products
for the third quarter Of this year
These buyers also have manifested
their willingness TO close for addi-
tional tonnages of unfinished shell!
steel If the works can take the bust
ness, which in many cases they can
not. Some of the extensive foreign
inquiries for cars have been closed
Shipments with the mills have been
more normal after the recent inter-
ruption Of operations by coal, coke
and gas shortages. The fuel agita-
tion again is becoming aggravated,
however, and is not so promising,
causing makers to draw upon pig
iron and cold material stocks. For
egn inquiry is the most active branch
of the pig iron market, but freight
room has reached such prohibitive
levels that orders are few. There
is little new domestic buying, but so
many furnaces have fallen behind in
filing orders that the matter of de-
liveries is paramount. both in makers
and consumers.
This fresh wave Of buying coin
cides with rapidly falling iron pro-
duction. The December output of
coke and anthracite pig iron was
337, 900 tons smaller than the Octo-
Der production, and on the 1st of
January the daily capacity of fur
naces in blast was 6.152 tons smaller
than month before. Unless other
furnaces blow in during the month,
the January output will, therefore,
fall short of 100000 tons. 1t has
not been below that figure in any
month since September, 1915.

MANY VESSELS DRAWN
FROM GREAT LAKES
Ocean Tonnage Increased al
Expense of Ore Fleet

Owing to the great demand for ocean
and coastwise tonnage, seventy-one YES
sells, with a gross capacity of 6s3,770
tons were purchased and taken out of
the Great Lakes trade last year. The
list included twelve orc carriers of the
10,000-ton class.
Fifty-nine vessels are now under con-
struction at Great Lakes ports for 1917
delivery, according to the annual re-
port Of the Lake Carriers Association,
which shows that there was a tremen-
dous increase in the volume Of bust
ness handled last year by lake vessels.
The report gives the ore movement in
1916 az 64,734,1 1913 tons, against 1900
478 tons in the hitherto banner year of
1918. II adds, however. that although
contract ore rates were increased 10
cents ton last year, "the boats made
very little money" because Operating
expenses were so greatly increased"
II is stated, however, that "the outlook
for 1917 Is roseate,' because after a
lapse Of sixteen years the ore rate of
81 ton from ports at the head of Lake
Superior has been reestablished.
The Great Lakes grain trade in 1915
totalled 63.999,15 bushels, decrease
Of 22,l66,S96 bushels from 1915. Chi
cago shipped only 25,0S0,000 bushels, a
reduction OF 1880 900 bushels, or Al. Z
per cent less than its shipments IN
1915. The report says that the grain
rates were the most significant feat

age rate per bushel for the season was

HOWARD ELLIOTT NOT
TO QUIT NEW HAVEN
He Expects, However, to Take a
Vacation in Near Future

Howard Elliott cstegorically denied
Yesterday rumors that he is soon TO
resign as president of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad
Reports have been current in the f.
nancial district for several days that
Mr.. Elliott might extend his annual
vacation this year into a permanent
leave Of absence and sever his connec-
ton with the New Haven.
81 have no intention Of resigning,
said Mr.. Elliott yesterday. at Is true
that am in need Of a vacation and
will probably take one in the near
future, but as soon as that Is ended
7 expect TO be back on the job to work
harder than ever"
J. Horace Harding Of the Stock Ex-
change firm OF c. d. Barney & Co.
and a director in the New Haven
road said:
There is no truth in the published
rumors that a group of large stock
holders is dissatisfied with the man
agement. On the contrary, that group
and other large stockholding groups,
and the directors as body, are not
only we'll satisfied with what Mr.. Ell
lott has done for the property, but
they also keenly appreciate the sacri-
fees that Mr.. Elliott has made in
rendering this highly efficient SER
vice.
"There is no truth either in the in
timation that Mr.. Elliott will be asked
by a large group Of stockholders to
resign. II he leaves the service OF
the New Haven road it will be an en-
tirely voluntary act. Mr.. Elliott mas
done a great work for the New Haven
and it is keenly appreciated by those
most closely associated with him in
the management of the property
This cannot be put too strongly"

AMERICAN LINE REFUSES
TO CARRY SILVER BULLION

Silver bullion has been denied pas
sage to European ports on the vessels
Of the American Line in recent order
issued by the controlling company as
a result OF the action of the German
government in declaring gold and sill
yer to be contraband of war. This
prohibition is expected to force all
future shipments of silver out Of New
York to be made on ships flying the
British flag, and this will arbitrarily
raise the war risk insurance on the
metal from the per cent on the
American vessels to the per cent
which underwriters demand for car
goes on English bottoms.
