RUSSIAN RAILROAD
HAS BEEN FINISHED.

PETROGRAD, May 31-One of the
nost fascinating romances of rail-
road engineering is the building of the
great Murnar Railway, from Petrograd
to Kola Bay Russia's ice-free port. Built
by torchlight in the darkness of Artic
winter, parts of it were three times lost
when warm winds turned the frozen
tundras on which it was laid into bot
tomless morasses of mud and water.
The railway is $50 miles long from
KoIa to Petrograd, and part of it is a
three-track line. The Russians learn
ed from the paralysis of the TRANSIT
herian Line that one-track road is al
most useless when called on for ex-
press service. Two tracks are used for
loaded cars going away from Kola. The
third track is for empties coming back.
Three races, Russian, Austrian and
Mongols, helped build the line. Hun
dreds, 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 car
loads from the mountains of supplies
that have accumulated while the road
was in process of construction.
First, Russians were employed as
railroad builders. They had the easiest
part of the line to build, before it
reached the tundras. Then they were
all called away to the front and Aus
trian prisoners were sent to take their
places.
The prisoners were guarded by reg
iments of half-wild Tartars and Mon
gols, 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 a
tfaw came and the train could not get
back. There was no track. Great
stretches of rails had disappeared
The Austrians were set to work
again, better supervised this time, and
they had at least semblance of road
bed 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 American
transcontinenta railways.
They herded the Austrians back to
the prison camps and brought across
the Siberian 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 offic-
ials were stirred out of their sloth.
They soon got down to hard pan and
the railroad went through to stay.

SAYS PEOPLE IN THE
SOUTH HAVE NOT YET walked
UP no SERIOUSNESS OF WAR

ATLANTA, Ca, May 31.-Atlanta
business men returning from the east
declare that the people in the south
have not yet walked up to realization
Eof the tremendous seriousness of the
war. They are firmly convinced that
the United States will be called upon
to go to the same lengths to which
England has gone before the menace
Eof Prussian militarism has been ex-
Terminated.
You may not realize the serious,
ness of the situation now" said Gen
|erald Leonard A. Wood to multitude
of people at Five Points the other day,
"but you will when the shiploads OF
wounded begin to come back and when
the casualty lists are posted, showing
the names of your sons and brothers
and sweethearts killed on the battle
fields of France"
In Atlanta the popular state OF mind
seems to be about the same as in other
southern cities. The streets are dot.
ted with soldiers in uniform, scores of
young men have forsaken fine posi-
tions in business and professional life
to enter the training school for the
Officers Reserve Corps at Fort Nc
Pherson, preparations are going
ahead for national registration day
next Tuesday, June 5.
But still the people as whole have
not walked up to the fact that we are
a. war; that we will send million or
two million men to the fighting lines
az quickly as they can be trained; that
thousands of these men will never come
back across the seas; that all of the
resources of the United States must be
poured into the war to the very last
notch to crush the German war ma
chine

DAY WILL
ACCOMPLISH MUCH

ATLANTA, Ca, May 31,-National
registration day next Tuesday will ac-
complish more than securing the names
of men of military age under the terms
of the act of congress. 1t will furnish
a striking illustration of the vitality
important need for complete vital
statistics in every state.
Members of the Georgia legislature
will take advantage of this illustration
II. bring before the general assembly at
its forthcoming session the favorable
opportunity for making Georgia's vital
statistics laws the equal Of the most
progressive and thorough in the coun-
| try.
Not only is state or nation help
less in time of war without complete
census of its males of military age, but
the human resources of state can
never be properly conserved without
complete statistics touching births ana
deaths and the causes of deaths. When
William J. Harris, Of Georgia, now
chairman of the federal trade commits
sion, was director of the census, he
personally urged the legislature OF
Georgia to provide for complete vital
statistics, and the legislature passed
the law, although it failed to provide
tie necessary machinery for obtaining
complete information. 1t was urged by
Mr.. Harris that justices of the peace.
city clerks and notary publics be nam
ed as registrars and paid the same
fees allowed in other states for similar
services.

FOOD QUESTION IN
FRANCE IS SERIOUS

PARIS, May 31-The food question
in France is regarded as very serious.
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 a spec
ial cabinet meeting to require inn
portant sacrifices.
No more pastry and no more crackers
or biscuits will be made, except for the
army after a date still to be fixed. No
more highly refined -four will be toler-
ated Every miller will be obliged to
leave a greater percentage of bran in
his output, and eventually corn meal.
rye or barley may be mixed with the
wheat flour to exc out the supply.
The experiences of the past year In
France have shown the impossibility
Of influencing economic conditions by
decree. The maximum selling price OF
wheat was fixed at price equivalent 10
s1.S5 a bushel, in order to avoid an in
crease in the cost of bread. The result
was a greater decrease in wheat acre
age; the farmers preferred to SOW oats
and barley that were not subjected to
any limitations and brought better
prices than wheat.
The retail price of butter on the
Paris market was fixed at the equival-
ent of 6S cents pound. Immediately
the receipts fell from forty-two tons to
less than nine tons day. The butter
went to the British front where it read
lily brought 80 cents pound
The new Minister of Subsistence,
Maurice Viollette, removed the limita-
lions and more butter arrived, but the
price went up to a dollar a pound at
retail.
Most persons interested in the ques-
ton. among them such writer's as Sem
ator Henry 1Cheron, 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 Intermediates
can have only passing short expert
ence in power.
According to story, NJ Vicilette
found high pile of papers on his desk
when he took charge of the difficult
task of regulating the cost of living.
What are all these documents he
inquired.
"Those," replied his chief of staff,
"are the unanswered questions that
you put to your predecessor in the
Chamber"
From all quarters come demands
for cessation of questions, debates
and cross purpose action, and for a
concentration of effort upon produc-
ton.
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 1t
is proposed to increase to the limit of
seeding capacity the acreage of oats,
barley and potatoes during the time
yet remaining.
Beans may be sown as late as June
IL, and arrangements are being made
for the transportation of seed to all
regions appropriate for bean culture
that may then remain unseeded.
