cities and even the British Dread
noughts, supposedly safe, may fall
victims to an air fleet
Mr.. Barrett told the committee that,
in discussing the seriousness OF the
present situation that this country
faces, he would be neglectful of fact
II he ommitted to refer to the Yep
pelin raid in-Dondon in September,
1916. and which he personally wit
messed.
Truth Not Known.
The full truth of this he told
toe committee, has never been pub
lished in the British and American
papers-that is, there was no ad-
mission or record OF the impressions
of authoritative persons as to the
actual danger in the future based upon
the facts of this raid. From what
personally saw and from what English
army officers, engineers and others
personally told me in intimate talks.
1 came to the unavoidable conclu-
sion that raids may yet be made
which will carry extraordinary de-
struction of both life and property
to London and even to Paris and
other inland cities of England and
France. Experts admitted that it may
be only a question of time when a
large powerful enough fleet of Ger
man zeppelins and aeroplanes. oper-
ating under favorable and protective
weather conditions, may be able to
destroy by dropping bombs. aerial
gunfire and consequent explosions
and confla grafton great sections of
London and other cities, munition
plants, and even the assembled dread
naushts of Great Britain's large navy.
Finally, 1t is to be emphasized
that the consensus of opinion of aero
plane and other air service experts
whom 1 met in England and France
was that it was entirely possible that
within another year the Germans,
through their wonderful inventive
skill and acting under the same i'm
pulse as had enabled them to send
submarines across the Atlantic, would
develop zeppelins and monster aero
planes which could cross the Atlantic
and do immeasurable damage to such
cities as New York, Boston. Phila-
delphia and even Washington before
they would be brought down or
oblidged to land through exhaustion
OF fuel. Our plans. therefore. for the
development of air service should in
clude a great defensive as well as Of
fensive equipment"

Mr.. McChord's Views.


Mr.. MeChord's Views.
Apparently. the commission, except
ing Mr.. McChord, in agreeing upon an
order. accepted the contentious of the
lawyers for the shippers that the rail-
roads were not entitled to any more
relief from the government than any
other industry which felt its expenses
crawling up on account of the war.
and that in addition. the railroads all
had surplus earnings in their treasury
sufficient and more to meet any in
crease in operating cost and wages.
AS to the matter of increased ex-
penses for the roads. Mr. McChord
says:
The nation Is at war. costs Of fuel
and other commodities are abnormal.
the conditions affecting the volume
and movement of traffic are without
precedent. The future of these con-
ditons. immediate or remote, cannot
be predicted with even a fair degree
of certainty. Thus the situation be-
fore US is not sufficiently normal or
stable in character to make possible
an intelligible inquiry into the reason
ableness OF rates. That the operating
costs of certain carriers. particularly
in the Eastern territory, haH been
substantially increased by he in
creased cost of fuel and supplies is ap-
parent 1t is my judgment.
therefore. that this commission should
report to Congress the essential facts
disclosed by this record. If it should
be determined by that body that the
prices demanded of the carriers for
fuel and supplies are reasonable un-
der the present conditions. or are not
such to warrant control by the gov
ernment. and it should hereafter ap-
pear that the apprehensions expressed
by the carriers have been realized,
then 1 am prepared to sanction such
rate increases as will permit the car
rfers to so equip themselves as to en-
able them to perform, in the most ef-
fcient manner, the transportation re-
quired of them. ~

 The creation of the real Poland, how ever, is coming on apace. Polish leaders in America are even now awaiting a word from Paris as to the formation of a provisional Polish government. It may not adopt that exact title, but the com mittee will be composed of representa- tives from the three divided sections of the old kingdom of Poland, and there are many today in America who are hopefully looking forward to the time when a real Polish diplomatic mission will arrive in the United States to the government and to President Wilson

Loyalty of Your Children

From the Mothers Magazine.
 There is hardly a mother of average intelligence, am sure, who does not try to protect her child from com insincere; from bullies and braggarts; from children who are badmannered or ill-tempered brief association with such influences even for a few hours a day in school or the play ground is harmful. If a mother lets her child associate for only half an hour each day with an influence that is detrimental she has evidence enough in hand to see how easily her child is influenced. She sees the real danger and she takes steps at once to coun- teract the unlovely influence and to break the harmful relationship or to remove the child from the association which plays upon him harmfully. And she is, as we all know, most wise to do this; most wise to have a care in matter of such grave importance
 Yet I have known many mothers who though so careful in all these more obvious matters concerning the proper companionships for their chil- dren, neglect incredibly the more subtle companionships mothers who without protest or for that matter without realization, allow boys and gtrlS to come constantly unueT tHe harmful influence of unloveliness un- truth, insincerity and vulgarity, in companionships and relationships which are perhaps the most lastingly important in the child's life-home surroundings. She has been careful tc see that the child has no bad com panions, but she has failed to realize that the home influence is by far tht greatest of them all.
 The occasional association with . bully or braggart undoubtedly has its influence, but it may not be very lasting one But the daily, hourly subtle powerful influence exerted by the child's home surroundings, you

This Is Especially True as Regards the Polish
 Kingdom
EFFORT IS MADE TO
 ASSIMILATE PEOPLE
This Is Proving Absolute Failure, and Only Hope for New Nation Is Wilson's We'll De-
 fined Plan

Washington, September s.-(Special0 Thanks to the German capacity for ex- pert and efficient blundering in the dip lomatic field, the central powers have given substance in the worlds theatre to the Polish state. While to President Wilson must be accorded the distlnc- tion of having first enunciated the De- lief of the world that the time had ar rived for the erection of an independent and united Polish nation, there was no immediate quickening in the chancellorles of Europe. It is true that President Wilson had broken through the dreadful formula which for a century set fortn that the Polish question was one to be thought of but mentioned never" but his voice was as that of one crying aloud In the wilderness. There was danger, . very real one, that these words which had thrilled MT. Paderewski and other Polish idealists, might become merely a whisper at the council table.
 It was at just this time, however, that the central powers started to put in op- eration their extraordinary plan for the beney olent assimilation of the Poles by the simultaneous waving of palm branches and cat-o'-nine tails. While filling the air with high sounding pe- riods of Polish appreciation, they caused the aid to be filled with the groans and cries of the oppressed. While proclaim ing a gospel of good will and urging a programme of nationality, they requisi- toned the horses from the Polish fields, the goods from the merchants shelves and the Polish laborers from the fac- tories.
 It is impossible, and probably will be until the war is over, to reason the basis of this extraordinary procedure. The re-
