FACE
 SERIOUS PROBLEM IN TRANSPORTATION

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 22.-During the coming winter American railroads will face the greatest transportation prob- lem in their history, according to in- formation authorized by the chairman of the railroads war board, sent out from the office of President J. M. Herbert of the Cotton Belt route to- day.
 'The war demands have increased the railroads burden virtually over night by millions of tons of freight. Additional service demanded this year is equivalent tos carrying 120, GOO, 900 tons of freight 1000 miles. Frankly, the roads will have to handle it with inadequate facilities. Cars, locomo- tives, terminals, all the other equip ment, track space-van not be built over night.
 "To make the situation more diff cult, practically all the steel which can
 be spared for locomotives and cars has
 been appropriated for use abroad eith- CT by the United States or by our al- lies. As a result, United States rail- roads must face their task with prac- ticaily no increases in equipment. Despite conditions the railroad army is not pessimistic. It is. on the
 cntrary still on tip toe to control the tremendous traffic so suddely thrust upon it. But all railroad men now re-
 ognize that to keep pace the rail-
 roads will not only have to increase their own efforts, but must count upon the shippers, consignees and public as.
 a whole to increase the cooperation they have so generously given since the United States entered the war. During the war, food, munitions and material must be kept moving to the seaboards, lumber to the ship
 yards, men must be kept moving to the cantonments-and all these move
 ments. as far as possible, must be made without serious interference with the regular commercial traffic" {"

GOVERNMENT AID FOR
 HOUSING.

MT. Trafford Hewitt of England is in America advocating Government aid to factories, plants and the like for the purpose of building better houses for the workmen. He speaks of his mission as and advocacy of aid for Industrial Housing.
 It sounds good.
 No doubt the plants, factories and incidentally the workmen would ap- preciate aid from any source that would supply fine homes for the peo- pie to live; after all, if MT. Hewitt would extend his trip to the country districts, he would perceive that the houses of the farmers and their labor, while more sanitary, because of the wide open air spaces about them, are, so far as comforts, coaveniences and stability are concerned, decidely inferior to the dwellings of the aver age workingman employed in tae large plants and factories.
 This being true we would suggest to this altruistic Englishmen that he make a little change in his mission Let him plead for Government aid for agricultural housing" or at least divide his time between the industrial and the agricultural needs. !
 Agriculture has never been permit ted to taste the cream of the govern ment milking, tho it has, furnished the cows constituting the main source of the supply.

Thenberg closed up his office when

BRITISH CONSOLIDATING THEIR
GAINS.
CBy Associated Press)

On the British Front, Ypres, Oct. 5.
1t is believed here that yesterdays
victory by General Haig's forces is
the greatest since the war began.
There have been no more counter
attacks, the German Crown Princes
forces appearing to have been stunned
by the violence of the British attack.
The Germans are keeping up a des-
ultory fire. The Englishmen are now
consolidating positions won. They took
keystone positions or the west front
and wrenched away vital strongholds,
inflicting almost unprecedented casu-
alties.
The British are now entrenched on
the crest of most Of the high ground
in the Ypres salient, as a result of
the drive on the eight mile front.
They have driven from the high
ground all the German troops, who
now have to go uphill against the
British, while Haig's artillery throws
shells on the defenses of the Grown
Prince and on his lines of communi-
cation.
Haig's stroke surprised the Ger
mans, who were preparing to attack
him. The English barrage moved
down the Germans. The rest were
troops. More than 5000 German
prisoners were taken, over half of
whom were wounded. The losses
were so severe that few counter at
tacks were tried

Had Been Taken Up.

Washington, Oct. 5.--An abrupt
postponement of the hearings begun
on charges preferred by Representa-
tive Heflin against, members was
caused today after the sub-commit-
tee had taken up it's work. Postmas-
ter General Burleson's auto whirled
up to the door of the Senate building
and Heflin was spirited away. The
committee then threw up its hands
and announced nothing more would
be done today.
In the Senate the sub committee
opened hearings on charges Of dis
loyalty of Senators La Toilette of
Wisconsin and Stone Of Missouri.
More senator's may be included in the
category.
Investigation into the charges Of
Heflin that certain members acted
suspiciously was begun by the House
committee.
Two newspaper men were witnesses.
They stated that Heflin told them
that he had heard hat pro-German
and "peace at any price, congressman
got easy money at Washington play
ing draw poker at house run by a
German.
Formal preliminary inquiry into the
alleged disloyal speeches Of Senators
La Toilette and Stone, made by the
Non Partisan League Of st. Paul a
fortnight ago, was ordered by the
Senate privileges and elections COM
mittee. SlA
A sub committee of five were APP
pointed with limited authority. They
are to inquire into correctness of
statements made, and Senator Pome-
rene is to be chairman. They are
to report at the December session of

Another Meeting of Farmers of VAL

The labor importation project Of
Imperial Valley farmers has again
struck snag.
District Attorney Nichols and A. d..
Mckenzie, representing the County
Council Of Defense and the Farm Blu
reau, called upon Manager Spears, Of
a large cotton ginning and oil COM
pany here, today, to present argu-
ments in favor of the subtraction
Srom ginning and corn receipts of a
small sum to help pay for labor.
They were told by Mr.. Spears be-
fore they had time to say more than
"Good day." that he knew what their
mission was, and that he was forced
to decline, and that they had better
not continue, because he might say
something he would be sorry for, or
words to that effect.
Thus abrutly terminating the in-
terview, Mr.. Spears has again put
an obstacle in the way of getting la
Dor here.
This afternoon Mr. Mackenzie stated
that the entire matter was now up
in the air.
r Probably The next step to be con-
sidered is a meeting Of the farmers
to pass resolution calling upon all
cotton and corn men paronize gins
and buyers who are helping he Coun-
Gil Of Defense.
A second plan was to have the val
ley farmers give their notes for
enough money to bring labor here.

is in the hands of the sheriff. Holt
captured one of the chicken thieves
who visited the neighbOrhood, but the
slippery cuss got away again.
Holt was asked by one of his neigh
bors to keep an eye on the ranch and
chickens while he made short trip
to the Coast. Mrs. Holt, who sleeps
with one eye open for nocturnal
prowlers, as does almost every woman,
heard a commotion among the chick
ems last night.
She awakened her husband. He
slipped on his overalls and, getting
out of the house, saw dark figure
racing for rig a short distance
away. Holt entered the race for the
horse and cart, and caught the fellow
as he was in the seat and laying the
whip to the horse. A sack contained
one chicken.
"Say, mister" said the thief, 'you
would not send me up for ten years
for stealing one chicken?"
But Holt was obdurate. The horse,
however, began to rear and plunge,
and as Holt sprang to the bit to hold
him the thief beat it down the road so
fast that as Holt expresses it, "you
could not see his heels from the dust. u
Holt brought the rig and the story to
the county Jail this morning.
The name of Joe Felascina was on
the chicken sack.
