RUSSIAN ROAD BUILT
IN WINTER DARKNESS
Rails Laid Over Frozen Tun.
dras that Later Turn Into
Morass Of Bottomless
Mud and Water,

Correspondents Of the Associated Press)
Petrograd, May 20.-One OF the
most fascinating romances of rail-
road engineering is the building of
the great Murmar railway, from Pet
rograd to Kola Bay, Russia's ice-free
port. Built by torchlight in the dark
ness of Arctic winter, parts OF it were
three times lost when warm winds
turned the frozen tundras on which
IT was laid into bottomless morasses
OF mud and water.
The railway is $50 miles long from
Kola to Petrograd, and part of it is
a three-track line. The Russians
learned from the paralysis of the
Transsiberian line that one-track
road is almost useless when called on
for express service. Two tracks are
used for loaded cars going away from
Kola. The third track is for empties
coming back.
Thousands Of Workmen Die.
Three races-Russians, Austrians
and Mongols--helped build the line.
Hundreds, If not thousands, died from
cold. hunger and disease, but now
the line is through to stay. and its
three tracks are taking every day 200
carloads from the mountains Of sup
plies that have accumulated while the
road was in the process of construc-
ton.
First, Russians were employed as
railroad builders. They had the cas-
lest part OF the line to build before
it reached the tundras. Then they
were all called away to the front and
Austrian prisoners were sent to take
their places.
The prisoners were guarded BY
regiments of half-wild Tartars and
Mongols. Neither the Austrians nor
their guards knew anything about
railway building and there were so
few experts in the region that it was
impossible for them to oversee the
work properly. The Austrians laid
the ties on ice and frozen ground;
and one construction train got
through to Kola Bay. Then thaw
came and the train could not get
back. There was no track. Great
stretches Of rails had disappeared,
Leaf from American History.
The Austrians who were set to
work again, better supervised this
time, and they had at least a SEM
blanee OF roadbed when the rails met
south OF Kola. But the ballast had
been laid again by torchlight and
when thaw came much Of it
slumped beneath the tracks.
After that the Russians took leaf
from the history of the great Amer
ican transcontinental railways. They
herded the Austrians back to the pris-
on camps and brought across the
Transsiberian railway thousands of
Chinese coolies and Mongols to take
their places.
By this time so much indignation
over the CHASTITY failures on the rail-
way had arisen that the Russian off,
cials were stirred out Of their sloth.
They soon got down to hard pan and
the railroad went through to stay.

Adamson Law Differences
Are Nearinu Settlement

Washington, June Good prog
ress is being made by the joint COM
mittee Of four railroad brotherhoods'
leaders and four railway executives in
settling minor differences growing out
OF the general agreement for basic
eight-hour day, according to a state
ment made today by w. N. Doak, vice
president OF the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen.
This committee" says the state
ment, within the near future will be
able to settle the entire question. A
great number of pending questions
have already been settled and are be-
ing applied TO the different individual
schedules. Among these is the ques-
tion Of working yard men as to meal
hours. day and night schedules, and
the assignment OF new work after the
expiration of the eight-hour period.
This committee will absolutely
prevent any controversies between
employers and employees growing out
of the settlement of any question, be-
cause it has authority to settle any
problem growing under the award"

Florence FPolice Force" May Get
Job Somewhere in Greater Omaha
Florence Folks Are Wondering
if Old-Timer Will Be Taken
Care of by New Regime.

II wonder if they will FIRE me-" So
liloquized Harrison Barnes, who was
the police department at Florence
prior to the taking over Of that su-
burb by the Greater Omaha officials
Thursday afternoon.
John McGregor was the town mar
shal, but Barnes was the police de-
partment. He represented the strong
arm of the law and he interposed his
authority in many crises in the quiet
little community in the north end OF
what now is Greater Omaha.
When Mayor Tucker, Clerk
Thompson, Marshal McGregor and
other Florence officials met at the
town hall to turn over the town to
the officials of the greater city, Off,
GER Barnes sat in a back seat and
looked at the great fathers" with
quizzical eyes.
Il wonder if they will fire me-" he
repeated to man sitting near him.

ter of century and have brought

have caught unlicensed dogs and i'm
pounded stray cows and sent the kids
home at 9 o'clock. | just tell you, /
seen my duty and I done it." he added
Barnes does not go in much for
style. He never would wear a uni
form and believed that star was a
sufficient emblem of authority for any
minion of the law to wear. He has
some ideas about detective work, but
AYERS that Florence did not offer a
prolific field for applying thief-catch-
ing methods.
The city commissioners are in
clined to give Barnes some kind OF a
job, even if it may not be on the
metropolitan police department.

FOOD SITUATION IN
FRANCE IS SERIOUS
Attempt to Fix Maximum Price
Cuts Down Production and
Diverts the Supply to
Other Channels.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Paris, May 20.-The food question
in France is regarded as very seri-
Gus. All the measures thus far taken
have failed to assure positively the
required supply OF bread to carry the
country over to the next wheat crop
and the government has just decided
in special cabinet meeting to re-
qulre important sacrifices.
No more pastry and no more crack
ers or biscuits will be made, except
tor the army, after a date still to be
fixed. No more highly-rehned -four
will be tolerated. Every miller will
be obliged to leave a greater percent
age OF bran in his output and eventu-
ally cornmeal, rye or barley may be
mixed with the wheat flour to exc out
the supply.
Maximum Price Order Fails.
The experiences of the last year in
France have shown the impossibility
OF influencing economic conditions BY
decree. The maximum selling price
OF wheat was fixed at a price equiva-
lent to $l.8S bushel, in order to
avoid an increase in the cost Of bread.
lhe result was great decrease in
wheat acreage; the farmers preferres
to sow oats and barley that were not
subject to any limitations and brought
better prices than wheat.
The retail price of butter on the
Paris market was fixed at the eouiva-
lent OF 6S cents a pound. Immedi-
ately the receipts fell from forty.
two tons to less than nine tons a day.
The butter went to the British front,
where it readily brought so cents q

be made to enlist 1000 recruits into

There are no better soldiers in the

Soldiers of the Sea-
They have won their place by their
splendid bearing, courage and bravery

the first to land wherever the country

as to win the complete admiration and
fullest confidence of the American
people.

tation and more butter arrived, but
the price went up to 81 pound a,
retail.
Most persons interested in the ques-
ton, among them such writers as Sen
ator Henry Cheron, formerly UNDER
secretary Of war, now are Of the opin-
ion that neither prices nor supplies
can be affected by DEGREES; that it is
entirely question of production and
economy over which the intermedIs,
ries can have only passing control
This seems to be the conclusion M.
Viollette has reached in his short ex-
perience in power.
Wheat Crop Will Be Short.
The wheat crop OF 1917, according
to estimates gathered by Senator
Cheron, will be 100000 bushels short
of that Of 1916. To make up this
shortage it is proposed to increase to
the limit of seeding capacity the acre
age of oats, barley and potatoes dur
ing the time yet remaining.
Beans may be sown as late as June
IS and arrangements are being made
for the transportation of seed to all
regions appropriate for bean culture
that may then remain unseeded.
