Railroads of France Are Bad
ly Run Down and American
Engineers Are Expected to
Put Them in Shape,
ACTIVE ORGANIZATION
OF REGIMENTS BEGINS
War Boards Appeal for Re-
lease of Highly Trained Men
by Companies Expected to
Be Needed at Once,
,uy MORN No IorsnAL srsc... LEASED w,stl


Washington, May 20.-Means by
which railroad executives will help
the war department organize the nine
regiments of railway engineers to be
raised for immediate service in
Frances lines were announced tonight
by Fairfax Harrison. chairman Of the
American Railway association war
board.
A committee of six railway heads
has been named to cooperate with
army officers and all executives have
been urged to release certain OF their
highly trained employees for the army
and to give immediate attention to the
regiments organization.
French Roads Run Down.
"The French railways are badly run
down" says the war boards appeal
to railway executives. "They need
more or less complete rehabilitation.
France has no men who can be spared
for this work. She wants all her
men at the front.
Before we can train men to go into
the trenches we can supply Frances
railway wants and we can do 1t prac-
tically Immediately. Any men we send
over must be soldiers, so 1t will be
necessary for the railway forces to
enter the army.
I'VE propose to make up five con-
struction regiments Of six companies
each to do this rehabilitation, Each
regiment will have an engineer Off
Ger of the United States army as col
onel and another officer from the
army as adjutant The other officers
will be railroad men, except that the
commissary will be provided by the
army.
Differed by Experts.
The lieutenant colonel will be a
chief engineer of railroad, or some
one else of similar experience. The
captains will be taken from the engi-
neers of maintenance of way, the lieu
tenants from supervisors or roadmas-
ters, and the non commissioned
officers from tracw and bridge
foremen. Each company will have
$50 track laborers and fourteen
bridge carpenters as privates.
1.-THE mex. important requirement
on the French railways Is for shop
forces. They are short of men to re-
pair their locomotives 1t Is proposed
to organize shop regiment, to be
made up the same way as the con-
struction regiments, except that the
lieutenant colonel will be a superin-
tendent of motive power, the captains
will be master mechanics the lieuten-
ants will be shop foremen and the
non commissioned officers gang fore
men, The rest of the companies will
be made up of boilermakers, ma
chinists, blacksmiths and their help
ers.
Three operating regiments will be
raised with officers from superntend-
ents, trainmasters, yardmasters and
others having to do with the actual
operations of trains. The privates in
this case will be taken from the train
crews"

EXPECTS PRICES
 TO BE LOWER
Coal Dealers Delaying Purchase
 Of Winters Supply

New York, Sept, 25.-While some consumers are reported tC be delay ing purchase of their winter supplies in expectation of a low retail price to be fixed by the government, and in- dications are that shipments of an- thracite coal will exceed. the record of 1911-69, e54, ,299 tons-there is still such shortage as to make it almost impossible for dealers generally to fill orders.
 Dealers attribute the unprecedented demand to the determination of the public to ignore possible lower prices in favor of the certainty of having supply. They contend that no con- sideration has been given to increased costs of production. and the inference seems to be that they believe a re- tail price for coal will be made with out regard for the burdens of the dealer. Of the situation the Black Diamond says:
 Judging by the financial status of the coal companies this country is facing enforced suspension of all min ing operations, for selling prices are rigid while costs are in no way under control. The President has power under the level law to regulate costs, but he has not yet come to it. In fact, the n0eQ to regulate these COSlS udo not even been called to his attention. As a general average for the country costs are rising ' to l 5 cents a month,
 Along with such gloomy views there are circulated reports that this. that and the other mine is to suspend op- erations entirely because of the whole sale prices the government has de- cided must prevail. These prices are considerably in advance of those for which the government says from $535 to $54.0 shall be allowed, sold last year at from $390 to s4.05 ton.
 Chestnut coal sold then for from $575 to $5.95 ton, while now the wholesale price is from s6.25 to $6.3o a ton Stove coal this year does not differ much in price from last year. Then the price was $5.70 to $6.25. This year the limits are s6.15 and $6.20. The prices fixed for coal of the 1nde- pendent companies are much higher than for tha4 of the so called coal trust.
 Coal dealers are busy laying before Dr. Garfeld's Fuel commission data

BANKER TALKS ON LIBERTY LOAN
Says Bonds Can Be Floated With out Seriously Affecting Business

New York, Sept 25.-Charles H. Sa- bin, President of the Guaranty Trust Company, believes that the new Liber- ty Loan can be floated without serious ly disturbing business and that in the long run the sale of Government bonds ity of the entire country.
 ''The proceeds from the sale of Lfb- erty bonds will be expended in this country by our Government and bv the allied Governments, to whom we are making loans,' he said yesterday "As Secretary McAdoo has explained the situation is largely a mere matter of shifting credits and the money will remain in this country and will not in volve any loss of gold or any loss of values. It is obvious that the more money there is spent in this country the greater will be our prosperity. The greater, too, will be Americas don- finance of world finances and ex- changes. The new Liberty Loan will exert potent influence in stabilizing foreign exchange. It will strengthen and help to make secure the position of the American dollar, which today rules the money markets of the world.
 "A leading English financial writer acknowledges that London has sur rendered its proud position to the foremost money market in the world. as the clearing house for all nations, and as the banker to whom the enter prising commercial men of every State came when they were in need of banking assstance.' Another authori- ty likewise declares that in the United States are some of the very best bus mess men that the world holds to- day These writers point to our great natural resources. to our soil. which is capable of supporting five times the population it maintains at present. and to our almost unlimited room for ex- pansion.
 "The payment of the interest on and principal of the Liberty Loans will not impair the resources of our fields, fac tories, or mines. The money will come from the annual income and produc- tion of the country, now estimated as amounting to s50,co0, 900. 900 in value.

Over Man

Henry Mills, or Miller, supposed to
be cf Shelby, was struck and instantly
killed mile and a half ncrth Of Fred
ericktown about 2:15 o'clock Saturday
7fterncon by the six-coach private
train Of Division Superintendent Stew
ems Of Newark.
The iull train passed over the man
who failed to heed the whistles which
the engineer sounded when he noticed
him walking along the track, head
bent and mind apparently centered up
on some important personal problem.
An application of the brakes failed to
stop the train in time
Mills or Miller's head was badly
mashed, both arms and both legs brok-
en-, his right foot cut off and his left
foot shattered. He was taken TO Fred
ericktown and Coroner Paul S. Stokes
called who pronounced death due to
accidental causes.
That the dead man was a laborer
was indicated by q Cincinnati labor
bureau identification card which he
carried with him. This stated that his
camp number was 500 and his personal
number seven. 1t is presumed from
this that the man was a section-hand.
His home address was given as Shelby
He was about feet 8 inches tail
weighed about 10 pounds, was of sandy
complexion and wore red moustache
The accident occurred just as the
train was rounding a curve. Mills ol
Miller was observed by the engineel
and also by a secretary to the genera
/ superintendent of the road who was {
passenger on the train and who had {
mirror reflector set up by his seat il
which he clearly saw the strange ac
tions of the dead man. He confirmed
the engineers story.
