BY HOWARD ELLIOTT

President Of the New Haven Railroad.
A good point in the railway out
look is that there is a better under
standing on the part of the public Of
the difficulties under which the rail-
ways Of the United states are strug-
Cling. and there is a growing real
ization OF the fact that the railways
need assistance if they are 10 pre-
pare 10 do the work Of the increas-
ing population of the country.
The public also realize TO a great
er extent than ever before that any
unreasonable regulation and any at
tacks on the railways are hurtful to
the general welfare of the country
as we'll as hurtful TO the railways.
A bad point is the existence of
prices for material that are very,
very much more than a year ago,
and the necessity of paying very
much higher wages than a year ago
with no corresponding increase in
the unit price of what the railways
have TO sell--freight and passenger
service.
This condition is narrowing down
the margin between income and
outgo. and is making il more and
more difficult for the railways to 60
on with the necessary work of add
ing 70 their facilities This is un-
fortunate, because the time Of max
ing improvements 70 the facilities is

 NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The Amerl- can Defense Society tonight unani- mously adopted a resolution urging the President to call special ses- son of congress immediately for the purpose of declaring war against Austria. The resolution will be for mally presented to President Wilson at once
 Speakers supporting the resolu- tion declared that Austria was a subscriber to the German undersea campaign, which caused Americas break with Germany. It was also stated that unless Italy succeeded in checking the Austro-German cam paign it was extremely likely that Italy would need the assistance Of the other allies in repelling the in vader from the country. If such should be the case. it would prob ably be necessary to send American soldiers to Italy, and before this could be done it would be necessary to declare war against Austria. For this reason it is believed wise to de- clare war as soon as possible and thus be ready for any emergency.

 The government has issued instruc- tions to the nearest military authori- ties to the scene of the flood to rush assistance to the helpless pop ulation and the survivors will be looked after by the British govern ment.

of the U. s. Rev. Stat 1878, reQuir ing assessment work on mining claims, for the years 1917 and 1918, but it DOES NOT suspend or repeal Sec. of the Act of the Legislature of Alaska of 1915, which requires such assessment work to be done in Alaska.
 JAMES WICKERSHAM
 Mir. Wickersham also requested that his commentary on the reso- luton be published He states that the resolution as passed does not suspend or repeal the terri torial law requiring the same as sessment work. On receipt of the foregoing last evening, The Citizen asked the opinion of one of the lead ing local attorneys on the question in yolved He stated that he believed it to be unnecessary for congress to specifically suspend or repeal any territorial law which in any way conflicted with a national law, and that the resolution in itself was sufficient to repeal the provisions of the Alaska law, which conflict with it. He also stated that his belief was founded on decisions ren- dered by the circuit court of ap- peals at San Francisco on cases of a parallel nature to the present one. He therefore states that he is con vinced that all that is necessary is to file the required aff1davits in or der to cover the assessment work for 1917-18.
