ENGINE FOR WAR
BUILT IN 20 DAYS

Washington. Oct. = American
manufacturing enterprise again has
demonstrated it's ability to meet the
extraordinary demands of war. It was
disclosed yesterday that within 20
days after the War Department de-
livered designs for special locomotives
and cars for troops in France, the first
of $50 engines and the first of 5000
cars were ready for shipment.
The. special engines weighed 1885,
500 pounds, and the new cars are only
SO feet in length, to negotiate the
short curves of French roads. The
railway equipment sent from the
United States will be painted battle
ship gray to make it inconspicuous as
possible. The first engine bearing the
marking, ~. s. A, No. L." soon will
be in operation on the French lines
1t is understood five engineer regi-
ments, composed largely of railway
men, will handle the new equipment
To supplement the regular railway
rolling stock, also, Hanged wheel rims
have been provided for many Ameri-
can motor trucks and trailers, so that
they can be used on the line. This
scheme was tried by General Perish
ing's forces in Mexico with good re-
suits.
At the main American base, among
other equipment. will be a complete
railway repair shop for all classes OF
| rolling stock, fitted for work on both
American and French engines and
cars. Trained railway merchanics OF
| long experience on American roads
| will do the work. Construction of the
shops is said to be well advanced.

HELM REPUDIATES
SOME ALLEGATIONS

Washington, Oct 6-Investigation
into charges by Representative Hef-
lin of Alabama that thirteen or four
teen members of Congress had acted
suspiciously in connection with the
$4,000 Won Bernstorff fund to in
fluence Congress clsed last evening
after two sessions.
The report, which went to Congress
today reiterates that Mr.. Heflin has
admitted he has no information to
substantiate his charges, and that he
Irepudiates part of them as a mis-
quotation of what he said. Members
of the select committee would not in
dictate whether disciplining or CEN
surfing the Albanian would be re-
commended.
At an afternoon session Mr.. Hef-
lin said that his suspicious against
certain members were based solely on
resolutions which they had introduce
| ed, bills they had proposed, or
speeches they had made. He declar-
ed he never had meant, to give the
| impression that certain members had
been the recipients of money.
| The testimony was more in the ma
tire of a speech than answers to ques-
tions. AS a climax Mr.. Heflin's voice
could be heard in the corridors out
side the committee room booming that
he proposed to stand unyieldingly
with his guns and behind the Stars
and Stripes. He offered to make a
two-hour speech telling why he re-
garded the conduct of certain col
leagues as suspicious. But the COM
mittee indicated they believed, a crit
icism by him of other members pub
lie conduct was unnecessary.

Personal Sacrifice
Price Paid To Have
Liberty Says Vail

The Liberty Loan represents won
derful opportunity to millions of
Americans for performing patriotic
duty and for saving money that might
otherwise be spent needlessly, accord
ing to Theodore N. Vail, presiden. Of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company. Mr.; Vail said:
''The Liberty bonds, as authorized
by Congress and offered by the Treas
ury Department, present both an op-
portunity and a. duty. There are mil
lions of Americans who by reason of
their rigid economy have saved money
which can be wisely invested in these
bonds. For such people the safety of
their savings is the first considera-
tfonn, but they also owe it to the ma
ton to keep their money, however
small the amount, at work rather than
slowed away,
There are millions of people also
who are making exceptionally large
earnings on account, Of war work For
such the Liberty bonds present an OBJ
portunity for performing patriotic
duty and Of saving money that might
otherwise be need1ess1y spent
There are millions Of people to
whom the Liberty Loan viii primarily
offer an opportunity, by possibly a lit
tie sacrifice Of their Immediate com
forts. to help meet their countq-y's ne
cessities and provide for the future
necessities .fof themselves and their
dependents. Such sacrifices, If You
can term them sacrifices, are neces-
sary If we would maintain our coun-
try and our liberty intact, and MAIN
tain the economic Independence of our
personal future.
| THE money which the people thus
lend to their government for the com
mon good will be needed to supple
ment whatever sums It is possible to
raise by taxation. We may rest as
sured that taxes will he imposed ia

Distribution Costs
One Reason For The
High Cost of Living

1t Is with telling almost of de-
spair that the consumer views the
steady advance of food products and
he wonders where it will all end. He
has vague hopes that the government
may be able to do som ething by price
fixing. He is forced to recognize
that it is beyond any power of gov
eminent to control economic condi-
TONS In the. long run prices are
governed by natural causes and by the
habits of the people: What can the
individual consumer do against these
conditions. to change the operation
OF the vast machine by which his
food Is supplied?
At least he does well to- know
where the trouble lies, and If this in
formation could become general, pub
lie sentiment would effect changes.
At least there are many excellent ideas
in the reports of the economists and
scientists and commissions that have
investigated the subject These
should not be allowed to lie forgot
ten on dusty library shelves.
Astonishing stories of the break
down of the distribution system can
be found through inquiry in any mar
ket. by comparing the prices obtain
ed by the farmers and those secured
by the retailers. At Chicago for in
stance, they tell of car loads of mel
ons shipped from Oklahoma for
which the producer got but, $50. SO
per car. When they got to the con-
sumner, the aggregate paid out for the
individual melons was $3.50 per car.
Where on earth did the balance go ?
1t seems preposterous that such an
enormous amount has to be spent
merely for distribution.
On the average run Of food sold
I in New York, the New York Food
| Investigating Commission said the
producer gets 40 percent. of the price
paid by the consumer. That is little
enough. Probably the average pro-
portion received by farmers all over
the country is less than that. The
commission claims that New York city
| wastes $70,00O.000 annually in anti
quated and unscientffie systems Of
| marketing and. distribution What
| then must be the entire waste of the
United States?
Our plants for handling provisions
| at shipping and distributing points
| were built in a day of small things
| when present conditions were not
foreseen., $ Now that they are ship
ping over all the country, the incon-
veniences cost money and add ex-
| pense. Let US see.,

being the intention of Congress in
