WOMEN COMPLAIN

1915 to SGT tons in 1916. In this way
it is shown that the increase in eff
cheney has been accompanied, if not
actually promoted, by increases In the
average train load. In the year just
closed the average number of miles
travelled by each car for day on the
aforementioned forty-six lines was
more than twenty-nine, an increase of
eight per cent. over the record of 1913.
No statistics are available for the
railways having the remaining mileage
of the country. It is thought, how
ever, that these figures, were they at
hand, would probably show g. propor-
tionate increase in the rapdity of car
circulation. Taking all these things
into consideration, the actual accom-
plishment of the railroads and the
presumptions, the average mileage
made by each car every day on all the
railroads Of the United States was IN
the neighborhood of twenty-seven
miles, as compared with twenty-four
in 1913 There was also a material IN
crease in the average tons carried by
each car. Yet with all these increases
in efficiency, with greater mileage
made, with increased capacity of cars.
the country suffered from freight con-
gestion Of the worst sort. And there
is not a town In the United States that
knows this better than New Britain.
Efficiency, efficiency. thy name is
enigma.

THE MAN WE NEED.
dimes Found in An Old Bible.

7 want my son to be a man
One after Gods perfected plan.
God made a man of human birth,
Well suited to tn affairs Of earth.
Showing just what a man should be
To dwell in earth's great family
He diligently doth pursue
The work appointed him to do;
His gifts, if but a single pound,
He never buries in the ground;
Where'er he walks the flowers grow,
His lamp has oil, his lights aglow,
Has common sense. discerning mind,
Severe to self, to others kind,
In shielding weakness, strong and
brave,
Not anxious his own life to save:
He knows how blessed it's to give,
And for the good of others live;
| From covetinG his soul is free,
! But others wants he's quick to see;
| No human soul doth he Cypress,
| But firmly rules with gontleness:
| His guide in tender childish years
| He always lovingly reveres;
| sweet tenderness Of heart he shows.
! And wrongs no one not Cv'n his foes.
! Tho he be poor and counted nauGht,
| He never holds an envious thought;
! lie ne'er fo1 gets q kindness done
in word or deed of any one;
| In him descending has no trace
! The same behind as at your face:
| He never sWerNcs from truth a hair
| Tho pain and losses he must bear;
lie frOWnS on all hypocrisy,
| And cCnSures pride and vanity.
| Condemns injustice, honors right,
| The same in darkness as in light,
| Rebukes the naughty Pharisees
| But blesses sinners on their knees
| Tr1c1 re nd l;,y]ot 1o
| For they are quite beneath his heels;
| The fear of men he does not know
| But fear Of God his dealings show.
! Dost doubt my son, if one can find
| A man like this of human kind?
| l ask for thee naught better than
| To strive to be just such a man.

TURK MUST GO, IS
BRYCE'S DECISION
Unit to Govern Says Former
Envoy to is.

London, Jan. 27.-The demand for
the expulsion of the Turk from Eu-
rope, included among the terms in
the allied note in reply to Pres;de
Wilson, is justified by Lord Bryce in
statement. This is the first time
the former ambassador to the United
States has appeared in connection
with the peace discussion, for While
he has been carefully considering
President Wilson's moves and the re-
sponses made to them, he has re-
trained from any utterance. Later
the decided conclusions he has
reached may be published.
Concerning Turkey, however, Lord
Bryce's views were formulated before
the peace notes were exchanged and
Will appear in about month for au-
thorlzed publication in London and
New York under government auspices.
Owing to their direct bearing upoA
the terms regarding Turkey laid
down In the Entente's reply he has
now made them available.
NO one who has studied the his
tory OF the near East for the last
I'VE centuries" says Lord Bryce, will
De surprised that the Allied Powers
nave declared their purpose to put an

rope. and still less will he dissent
from the determination to de- lei. the
CHRISTIAN population Of what is called
the turkish Empire, whether in Asia
or IN Europe, from the government
which during those five centuries has
done nothing but Cypress them.
These changes are, indeed, Iona
overdue. They ought to have come
more than a century ago, because il
had then already become manifest
that the Turk was hopelesslv unfit
to govern, with any approach to jus.
tice, subject races of different re,

FREIGHT CAR EFFICIENCY.

Car shortage and traffic congestion
have been the two great causes of
complaint against the railroads during
the past year and a half. Ever since
the unprecedented prosperity of the
nation the arteries of travel have been
clogged. Those who have occasion to
use the freight carrying facilities Of
the railroads know the conditions to
be worse than at any time in the his
tory of the country. The shortage Of
cars has been the source Of many a
heart break in the business world.
The congestion Of traffic has prevented
many a delay in the realm Of COM
merce.
Now comes the Railway Age
| Gazette, an authoritative source of in
formation, and, on the basis of sta
tistics from As railway systems opera
ting 65 per cent. of the total mileage
| of the country, states that the block
| ing of traffic has occurred in spite of
the most efficient use of freight cars
| ever known. 1t estimates that the
average miles each freight car was
moved per day in the fiscal year 1916
! was per cent. greater than in the
| fiscal year 1913 when the previous
, high record was made, and that in
! September, 1916, average miles per
} car per day were II per cent. greater
i than in September, 1913. 1t adds:
1.-The statement that there was an
! increase Of per cent. in car efficiency
in the fiscal year 1915 over the veal
| 1913. and an increase of II per cent
in car efficiency in Septem her. 1915
over septcmber, 1913, may not seen
! important to persons unfamiliar will
! railway affairs. When, however, it il
! stated that there are now 2,40O, OOt
freight cars on the railways of tn
United States. and that therefore al
increase of per cent. in their aver
age efficiency is equivalent to an in
crease Of 1872 600 in the number O
cars and that an increase of Il pc
cent. in efficiency is equivalent to a
increase of 1000 in the number c
cars, the true significance of the in
crease in efficiency becomes ap
parent
Because of the Diling up of ne,
freight business the cars have bee
"loaded to the hilt.' Despite tn
fact, increases in the average tor
carried per train do not have q ter
dency to reduce the average mile
made per car per day. This is ind
Gated by the fact that between 191
and 1915 the average load per trail
, on all the railroads of the Unite
States increased from 445 tons to Al
tons. The average load per train .
