NOT so SLOW, AFTER ALI.

After all the talk we have heard in
the last couple of years about the mill
tary unpreparedness and incompetence
OF the United States, IL is possible that
we may surprise everybody, including
ourselves, by our speed at getting into
the war game. According TO the pres
ent outlook, It is going to take us no
where near as long as II took Great
Britain TO prepare ourselves for max.
ing war on a big. effective scale.
Congress seemed slow in enacting the
necessary war measures, but according
TO no less an authority than Mr.. Bal
four. the British statesman, II acted
more promptly than might have been
expected Of the governing body of a big
democracy.
With the military bill passed. within
less than twenty-four hours the presi.
dent had ordered an army TO the front.
That army will be in France before
anybody outside of the war department
realizes that 1t has started. Prepare.
tions for its departure are said TO be
nearly completed already; in order TO
expedite IL, France will provide most OF
the supplies II will need for active cam.
paigning.
General Pershing's force mas been an
nounced as consisting Of $4,000 men. II
has already grown 10 considerably more
than that number by the addition Of
engineers, marines and other auxilia.
ries. IL is now expected TO total at
least 10000 men, as many as a normal
army corps.
II was said a few months ago that
so many trained men could not be spar.
ed-that we should need all our regulars
10 train the new armies. But we find
ourselves much better off than we
thought. The regular army has grown
steadily by the recent recruiting. The
National Guard has been brought to
nearly its full strength and made avail.
able for foreign service. The volunteer
training camps have furnished many
thousands OF men who can soon be
made into efficient officers Little at.
tention has been paid to the large mum.
bers OF civilians with military training
received in colleges and military
schools. They will be discovered by
thousands as soon as the draft begins
10 operate.
II is said that 100000 men may be
spared 10 go abroad during the sum.
mer, in addition 20 General Pershlng's
expedition. Other troops. probably ma.
tional guardsmen. can follow next au.
tumn. The first contingent OF 100000
TO be raised by selective conscription
viii presumably be ready. after It's win.
ter training. TO go forward in the spring
II is altogether likely, unofficial OBJ
servers say, that within a year OF our
declaration OF war we shall have sent
100000 men 10 the war zone. And
after that, OF course, we can send as
many as are needed.

WHEN 900-MILE RAILWAY
WAS BUILT IN RUSSIA
Ties and Rails Placed ON the Frozen
GrOund-ThaW BOgs Trains.

"Ouhu-in nav DObS lEdifiS.
Petrograd, May 22.-tCorrespondence
of the Associated Pressl-One of the
most fascinating romances Of railroad
engineering is the building Of the great
Murner railway from Petrograd to Kola
Bay, Russia's ice-free port. Built by
torchlight in darkness Of Arctic winter.

warm winds turned frozen tundras on
which it was laid into bottomless mo
rasses Of mud and water.
The railway is $50 miles long, from
Kola to Petrograd, and part of it is a
three-track line. The Russians learned
from the paralysis Of the Trans-Siber.
ian line that a one-track road Is almost
useless when called ON for express ser.
vice. Two tracks are used for loaded
cars going away from Kola. The thirl
track is for empties coming back.
Three races, Russians, Austrians and
Mongols, helped build the line Hun.

hunger and disease, bat now the line is
through to stay. and its three tracks
are taking every day 200 carloads from
the mountains of supplies that have ac.
cumulated while the road was in the
process Of construction.
First, Russians were employed as
railroad builders. They had the easiest
part Of the line TO build. before IL reach.
ed the tundras. Then they were all
called away 10 the front and Austrian
prisoners were sent 10 take their places.
The prisoners were guarded by regi.
ments Of half.wild Tartars and Mongols
Neither the Austrians nor their guards
knew anything about railway building,
and there were so few experts in the re.
gion that II was impossible for them to
oversee the work properly. The Aus.
trians laid the ties on ice and frozen
ground; and one construction train got
through TO Kola Bay. Then a thaw
came and the train could not get back

rails had disappeared.

had at least a semblance Of roadbed

OF II slumped beneath the tracks After
that the Russians took a leaf from the
history OF the great American transcon.
tinental railways.
They herded the Austrians back TO
the prison camps and brought across
the TransSiberian railway. thousands
OF Chinese coolies and Mongols, TO take
their places.
BY this time 30 much indignation over
the ghastly failure on the railway had
arisen that the Russian officials were
stirred out Of their sloth. They soon got
down TO hard pan, and the railroad

ONIONS.

farmers sold their onions at an average
price OF less than two cents n pound.
Last winter consumers had TO pay as
high as ten and fifteen cents a pound.
Most OF the difference. the government

This Is getting down to brass tacks.
Incidentally, II may be observed that
the price OF onions has dropped This
suit doubtless has as much 20 do with
the drop as the new crop has.

AN ANTHEM WITH PEP"

A resolution has been introduced in
congress providing that THE Star
Spangled Banner" be declared our ma
tional anthem 1t is expected to go
through without much opposition. Con-
gress will merely take cognizance of a
choice already made by the nation. Civ.
ing that choice official sanction will re-
move whatever lingering doubts there
may be in the public mind as to what
our national anthem is, and will rescue
bandmasters from a sometimes perplex-
ing dilemma. At present we are in the
peculiar predicament of having two an.
thems. 20
A few years ago nobody would have
questioned that America" was the SUI
preme expression of musical patriotism.
But America" has been going out and
The Star-Spangled Banner" has been
coming in. Many Of us regret the
change. America" has a stately digni.
ty that pleased the older generation.
Moreover, it can be easily played and
sung. The music is simple and the
words well known. Who, even today
can sing the other song through with
out missing tune or words?
But the new generation doesn't care
for solemn, stately stuff. 1t wants
pep" and "The Star-Spsngled Banner"
has it.
The victorious anthem. anyhow. is
thoroughly American, in these, words
and music. And anybody who has a
voice and a pair Of lungs and doesn't
on 1t to his hearts content. 1t certainly
provides an excellent vocal and instru.
mental outlet for patriotic exuberance.
And that's probably what national an.
them is for.

appearance of back yards and vacant

It's high time other communities
were beginning to think twice before
discarding empty tin cans. We've been
accustomed to throwing them away,
dumping them on vacant lots or in un-
used gullies. It's an unsightly way of
disposing of them. But more than that,
it is a waste of valuable material.
In spite of much talk about the short
age of tin, individual families have

either. Every child that brought seven
discarded tin cans TO the ticket window

tin cans were carted away to put
