Washington, Nov. 24.-Arrival of
American troops in France has kept
pace with the expectation of the war
department, Secretary Baker said on
Friday in the first statement he has
ever authorized in connection with the
progress being made in increasing Gen
eral Pershing's forces.
Mr.. Baker declined, however, to
state the number Of troops forwarded
or to indicate whether he expected
delay from this time. Movement of
the forces, he said, depended on two
elements, the training and equipment
of the men and the availability of
ships.
GAS fast as they are ready, ships
and men will be combined" the sec
rotary said. "As many American
troops are now overseas as we expect
ed in the beginning to have overseas
at this time"
Mr.. Baker indicated that an official
statement of the number of American
troops in France was not to be ex-
pected at any time during the war.

RAIL UNION CHIEFS
To AVOID STRIKE
Pledge Aid to President to Pre-
vent Tieup During War.
TALK WITH WILSON 2 HOURS
Brotherhoods Willing 70 Discuss and
Consider Any Proposed Solution
of the DifficuIty-Executive
Accepts Word.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The railroad
brotherhood chiefs, in a statement is
sued on Wednesday after a two-hours'
conference with President Wilson on
the wage dispute, announced that any
suspension of transportation would be
avoided, and declared their willingness
to discuss and consider any proposed
solution of the difficulties.
The statement of the brotnerhOods
signed by the four chairnen, MeSSrS.
Stone, Lee, Carter and Garretson, fol-
lows:
The men who comprise the railway
brotherhOOds are thorough Ameri-
cans, they believe in American stand
ards of living and in consequence of
this realize that standards of pay
that were established in 1912 and 1913
are inadequate to meet present-day
prices of commodities, and for that
reason are demanding an increase in
present rates that will meet half at
least of the increase in cost of those
things which they are compelled to
purchase.
Cooperate to Win War.
"They want to cooperate in every
way that is at all possible In the sue
cessful prosecution of the war, and
are determined to do everything with
In the bounds Of reason to avoid in
terruption of railway transportation.
Being fully cOnversant with their
OF in,
are in a position to give the assur-
ance that if q situation should arise
which threatens the interruption of
transportation the men whom we rep
resent would be more than willing to
discuss and consider any solution Of
the difficulty which presented itself,
doing SO in the spirit of patriotic CO.
operation and would undoubtedly CO.
operate with the government to the
utmost extent in arriving at a just,
equitable as well as patriotic con-
cluSion."
After the foregoing had been made
public, President Wilson issued this
statement:
'In addition to the statement given
out by the heads of the railway broth
erhOods, the president authorized the
representatives of the press to say that
he had got from the interview exactly
the impression conveyed by the state
ment of the heads of the brotherhoods
namely, that the men whom they rep
resented were not inclined to contend
for anything which they did not deem
necessary to their own maintenance
and the maintenance of their families
and that they would be willing, in
case any critical situation of contro-
versy should arise, to consider any pro-
posed solution in a spirit of accOmmo-
dation and patriotic purpose"
The conference lasted several hours.
The brotherhood chiefs came here at
the presidents request.

sion which he heads arrived in Paris
from England.
London, Nov. 22.-Premier Lloyd
George opened the allied war confer
ence with speech in which he said,
addressing the members of the Ameri-
can mission present:
THE collapse of Russia and the re-
cent reverses Of Italy make it even
more imperative than before that the
United States should send as many
troops as possible across the Allan
tic as early as possible.
Il am anxious to know how soon
the first million men can be expected
in France"
In the course of his speech. Mr..
Lloyd George said:
Assuming that the submarine stu
alton does not get worse, the easing of
the position of the allies depends en-
tirely upon the dates on which the
American program of launching 6,0O0,-
900 tons of shipping, promised for
1918. comes into practical effect.
Admiral Benson said that the mis-
sion was learning many lessons from
the allies and expressed the gratitude
of its members for the manner with
which all sources of information had
been thrown open to them.
'"The United States is heart and
soul in the war;" he said. land the
country absolutely indorses the state
ment of President Wilson that none
of it's resources would be spared, it's
men and ships, or work, in order to
win the war"
The meeting was held in the same
room and at the same table where 1874
years ago England formally acknowl-
edged the independence of the United
States.
Col. e. M. House, head of the Amerl-
can mission. did not attend the meet
ing, but was represented by his secre-
tary Gordon Auchincloss.

PUTTING THE BEE

Some of these days our government
will get around to numbering the sands
of the sea. Impossible? Perhaps; but
a few years ago one would have said it
was impossible to count the bees in the
United States and yet the Bureau of
Entomology, Department of Agrl-
culture, has event and gone and done
it." And 1t has discovered there are
so many the reader wouldn't believe it
if the figures were set down. Having
counted the American honey bee, the
government is preparing to loose the
whole swarm of 300. 200, 600, 900 about
the ears of William Hohenzollern. 1t
intends to put the bee on the Germans.
The sober fact is the swarms of the
United States produced about 250, 000,-
900 pounds of honey in 1916 and the
Department officials believe the 800, 900
odd bee keepers can double the number
of swarms during the present season
and eventually double the production of
honey. 1t sounds like an enormous
undertaking and probably will require a
lot of new bee bonnets and an unheard
of number of blows on tin pans through
out the country. but the good cause
certainly justifies the effort.
We must have more sugar; efforts
are being made to increase production
at every source of supply, so why not
compel the bee to do his bit for Uncle
Sam also? Surely he and his family,
or maybe it is the other way around,
have done nothing to merit exemption
from universal service. Let us have as
many bees as the clover fields will bear.

Saturday morning. James Morton, Jr,,
son of James Morton, Sr, was going to

young man who asked for a ride. The
morning was foggy and when coming
down the mountain the boy claims he
met two young men with a Buick four
coming up on his side of the road and
both were handling the steering wheel.
The car was new one and one was
teaching the other to operate it. Both
turned out at the same time and colIid-
ed. The Ford engine and front end are
badly damaged. A state office arrested
young Morton. The charge was operat-
ing car while under age and without
a license. His father paid the fine of
$40 ard costs.

HYSTERICRL ECONOMY.

This is no time for hysterical econ
omy. We want no waste at any time,
and particularly in war times, but if
there be cessation of those activities
which make for substantial prosperity
we shall create the very condition we
are trying to AVOID. There is good rea-
son to believe that the war will bring
greater prosperity, not only after peace
is concluded, but during hostilities. The
wealth of the United.States is greater
than ever before. We do not mean
money, although we have more money
than ever before, for money is only a
symbol. A dollar is only a medium of
exchange, designed for convenience in
trading our brain or muscle energy, our
agricultural and industrial products
Our realzwealth is in our resources, and
these were never greater than now.
