ORDERING EQUIPMENT
Expedition of Unloading and Loading Being Undertaken in the
 Hour of Need.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-- How ard Elliott, former president of the New Haven, and now a member of the railroads war board, in outlining efforts the board is making, says: It's going to be great deal more important to move food fuel, iron and the like than luxuries. We hope we are going to be able to move them all, but it is only fair to point out the facts, and ask the pubiic's sup port.
 Orders have been given for-as of April 1-220S engines and 104,917 cars. We hope they will be received between now and Jan. l next. If so, there will have been introduced be- tween Nov l, 1916 and Jan. l, 1918, l4S9S0 cars into service. with an average capacity of over 50 tons, and 31S8 engines, with an average trac- tive power of 54,000 pounds, which is very much above the average of the engines of the United States.
 ''On May i there was shortage of 100000 cars There are 2,500, ,000 cars in the United States. If, through better loading by the shipper. better unloading by the consignee, better movement by the railroad and more alert work by every man in the rail roads, from the president down to waterboy, each car is used more ef ficiently, it will not take long to get what amounts to an added service of 1000 cars out of the cars on hand
 The railroad war board appeals to railroad officers and employees, to shippers and the public generally, to cooperate in every way to make more efficient use of the existing railway plant. It is absolutely nee essary to make every car, engine track, freight house and every other appliance do more work.
 q think we will win this war soon CT if first we wake up to the mag nitude of the task. and then, not on ly mobilize our marvellous man pow | CT, but also coordinate with that our money power. our business or ganization, our press, and all other manifold industries of these United States twining all this mobilized and co-ordinated power to the sole pur pose of supporting our allies in main taining the highest ideals of human ity and civilization. That is what the American railways arc trying to do through their war board"

RETURNS To CHINA
AFTER FUTILE SEARCH
FOR MISSING SON

DIR. ]. W. Lowe, Baptist missionary
to China, who has been making
nation wide search for his 1S-year-
old son, j. Paul Lowe, has decided to
return to China with his wife and 8
children after an unsuccessful search
all over the United States for his son.
DIR. Lowe was recently in St. Joseph
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Tillberry,
Mrs. Tillberry being Mrs. loves sis
ter. While he was here he preached
at the King Hill Baptist church. DR..
Lowe and his family will sail from
San Francisco on the steamer China
for the Orient where he will resume
his religious labors. Already his re-
turn has been delayed since last Au-
gust, but now DR.. Lowe believes that
he cannot remain in America longer.
The boy, J. Paul Lowe, disappeared
in May Of last year, shortly after the
father and mother had come back to
the United States to aid the Baptist
mission board OF the south in raising
the sl,500.00O Judson centennial fund
for the purchase Of equipment for the
foreign missions of the church. He
was End year student at William
Jewell college, and had just re-
covered from an attack of scarlet fe-
yer. He determined to go to the har-
vest fields OF Kansas for few months
work in an effort to regain his
strength, DR.. Lowe believes. A short
time later, he was reported to have
been at Greensburg, Kan. From
there all trace Of him was lost. Dr..
Lowe was granted a few months leave
to remain at his former home here,
and the search began at once. The
police of more than 500 cities have
been asked to aid, the war depart
ment records OF both the United
States and Canada have been search
ed because OF the possibility that he
might have enlisted either for duty
at the Mexican border or with the
dominion forces in France, and Dr.
Lowe estimates that he has sent
thousands of notices, bearing his sons
description, thruout this and other
countries. The search also has eX-
tended TO China, because Paul had
spent many years in that country,
speaks the Chinese language, and had
planned. after his graduation here to
work as a teacher either In the Chi
nese governmental or Protestant mis-
sion schools.

For naval maintenance and construc-
