Washington, Aug. 25.--International
police to guard the world against
"Prussian military autocracy' was
| urged Thursday In a speech by Senator
Owen, OF Oklahoma. He said my
proposal Is an immediate information
al convention of all belligerent and
neutral nations to establish an inter-
national government with le. ;islative.
executive and judicial powers and an
army and navy to enforce the rights
of member nations and to coerce
| Prussian mflitarism.
Some man has said this is Utopia
MY answer is first. Utopia is better
than hell, and second. that this propo-
sition is not Utopia, and third. 1t is
already nearly an accomplished fact
| In the union Of the great belligerents
| now waging a common war on Prus-
| sianism."
| The senator recently introduced q
resolution carrying his recommended
| tons He predicted today that Ger
| many was beginning to show signs OF
| changing her attitude.
! Think Teutons Coming 10 Senses.
The fact that Pope Benedict pro-
poses simultaneous and reciprocal
diminution of armaments with the ap-
prevail OF Austria and apparently with
the approval OF the German imperial
government, seems to promise that
the Teutonio autocracy is coming to
its Senses" he remarked.
Senator Owen further declared:
| German diplomacy throughout the
world has been busy weakening other
nations whose powers migf1t-be used
against tho military autocracy.
The time has come for the United
States to use every energy to organize
! the powers of the whole world in sup
pressing the Teutonic military autoc-
racy and its conspiracy to rule man
kind by force and terrorism" ne said
| Tn this organization nevertheless
! the world should give assurances that
10 does not wish to crush the Teutonic
people or require of them moro than
absolute Justice demands in the way
OF restoring territory wrongfully seiz-
ed or destroyed"
| Seventeen Have Declared War.
! Without organized effort, said Sena-
tor Owen. seventeen OF tho forty-four
nations represented at The Hague al
ready have declared war on Germany.
| These nations represent three-fourths
of the people Of the world. Six other
nations have severed diplomatic rela-
tions and three or more are about to
do so.
Thus" ne continued. "seven-
eighth OF the people OF the world are
at heart opposed to the ambitions OF
the Prussian military autocracy. And
the United States should strenuousiy
take steps to induce every neutral ma
ton to combine with the entente allies.
The same sentiment which moved
the seventeen nations to declare war
will cohere them in international gov
eminent against future war by fhe
] Prussian autocracy; and will persuade
to adhere to the same policy every
self-respecting nation except perhaps
Denmark, Holland and Switzerland

UNCLE SAM GOES IN
FOR BIG BUSINESS

Washington. Aug. 20.--Uncle Sam
and Big Business" are synonymous
these days.
Since the war started, that is, since
the United States enlisted" the
world has been the pendulum of It's
affairs, business and otherwise,

Of the country.
The United States is the main
operator in the biggest business
deal the world has ever seen--war.
From London the keyboard which
handled the war now has an extern
sion run 10 Washington. and America
has entered the market on a scale
which I'm Wall street phrlance Is de-
cidedIy "hullIsh."
Millions in gold, millions In men
and millions in supplies. ships and

The government has had to com

fierce rivals.
The effect of all this has been TO
transform the scene of government
into one OF husiness--big business
As an example of what one phase
Of activity has meant. take the ship
building enterprise.
The United States has had 10 enter
the market first for steel ara other
materials. Firms must be secured 10

be fitted out when completed. One
detail of this alone again illustrates
the enormity OF the business. Each
ship must have refrigerating plants,
Even when the whole plan was still
in the air" scores of experts in this
line were comforting or seeking con-
ferences with the idea of efficiently
carrying out just this one detail
And the refrigerating plant of a
ship Is only one OF Hundreds of other
equally important parts. All of this

RAILROADS MAKE
RECORD COAL HAUL

Reports Just received by Fairfax
Harrison. chairman Of the railroads
war board, show that the railroads
carried 1874 more carloads Of btu
minous coal from the mines In July
this year than during July. 1915,
This Increase. which amounts to 20 i
Per cent. makes available for con
sumption s,4S6,000 tons of coal in eX-
cess of the amount that would have
been available had the railroads mere
~ duplicated their July, 1915. per-
Torrance. Through cooperative er-
fort, however and by giving prefer
ence to the movement of coal, the
roads that handle bituminous product
loaded 7s4965 cars last month as
against s35.244 cars IN July, 1915.
The first problem to which the rail
roads war board addressed itself. after
being appointed to operate the rail-
roads of the United States as a single
transportation unit. was that Of in
creasing the movement OF coal and
iron ore.
The results so far achieved reflect
great credit upon the effectiveness
with which the railroads have han
died their task This fact should not
be overlooked. however, that the coun-
try this winter faces greater demands
for coal and other commodities than
ever before in its history, and the
railroads are now working might and
main I'm the interest Of national eff
cheney and welfare % utilize effective
81 every faculty thew possess.
The railroads achieved an increase
In their average daily loading Of btu
minous coal IN July this year over the
average amount loaded in June this
year, loading an average Of 80. s99 cars
\ day in july as compared with 30
05s cars in June. There was an IN
crease In the average daily loading IN
ali districts east OF the Mississippi and
an actual increase in the number Of
cars loaded In July this year compared
with the month previous in the low
volatile fields Of Pennsylvania, Mary
land, West Virginia and Eastern Ken
lucky and the high volatile coal fields
Of West Virginia.
The most notable Increases IN the
total shipments in july this year as
com pared with July. 1915, occurred
In Illinois. Indiana and Western Ken
tucky. II amounted TO S4 Ter cent.
The total increase i1 the amount ~
bituminous coal handled by tho rail-
roads for the months Of April, May
.yunsxand July this year over the same
months last year amounts 10 57S.536
cars or approximately 2s.ssg 600 tons
This ig as.iA per cent more than the
amount handled for these four months
in 1915. and is indicative Of the in
creased efficiency shown by the rail-
roads since they voluntarily agreed 70
merge com petitive activities and CO.
ordinate their operations IN single
continental railway system in order "a
produce a maximum Of national trans
portation efficiency during the period
Of the war.
