IN WAR EMERGENCY
Earnings Made Secondary TO National
Service, Declares President of
Pennsylvania System,

Washington, Oct. 17.--This Ia a time
for the railways to serve the country,
Samuel Rae, president of the Penn
sylvania system. told the National AS
ISOLATION of Railway Commissioners
at dinner tonight.
I'VE are instituting a system of pri-
GRITTY shipments, we are maving empty
cars. we are carrying materials for
cantonments. we are transporting
said Mr.. Rae.
IAN this means forcing traffic out
of normal channels. foregoing profit
able business and making great finan-
ctal sacrifices at. time when It lis
difficult to conserve railroad revenues.
Materials are high wages are higher
than ever before. labor Is difficult to
obtain. But the railroads wish to
serve the nation"
Speaking on the subject of state
and federal regulation. MIR. Rae said
that the presence OF war did not IN
dictate that the states had suspended
or snnulled their rights.
But 1t is of the most pressing ne
| cessity," said he that they be CO.
ordinated with the larger powers of
national sovereignty"
In another part OF his speech he
said there was no longer need for the
Sherman law to be applied to the rial
roads
"All possible need for it's restrictions
have been superseded and 1t has been
rendered obsolete by the present sys-
tenn of almost Complete public regula-
tton." The said.
Herbert c. Hoover, the food con-
troller sounded a war note when he
com plimentsd the railroads on, their
service, saying they had given ''most
extraordinary assistance"
/ War Is a losing proposition" said
Mr.. Hoover. There are but two
compensations. One is the increase of
our commerce. The other la far
greater--it is the suppression of indf-
vidualisna through devotion to ma
tional tssues-the spirit OF self -sacri-
| Ace we will obtain. If we secure that
end we will have been amply COM
| pensated for the war"
| Senator Francis G. Newlands, OF
Nevada, chairman of the congress
sionai committee now investigating
American railroads. said:
The successful prosecution of the
war depends more than anything else
upon transportation by rail. river and
Iocean, and yet that is the only thing
to which the energizing aid of the
government has not been given
| Railroad rates are stationary and
railroad expenses are increasing"
| The association today elected the
| following officers; Edward c. Niles
of New Hampshire, president; Charles
| r. Elmquist, of Minnesota, first vice.
president; C. NJ. Gambler, OF Georgia
second e-president; James B.

CARYV|[[E MAN
CHARGED WITH
WH|TEeLAVERY
81. G. Gentry" 81, Married,
Arrested in Mobile.
May Plead Guilty.
GIRL WAS FROM
GRACEVILLE
Gentry Will Be Brought
to Pensacola Next Week
For Trial.

A warrant sworn out on March 9
for Malley Forehand, a young girl of
Graceville, and man known as j.
j. Gentry, of Caryville, on a charge
of violating the Mann white slave act,
has resulted in the arrest on April
of Gentry by police in Mobile, where
the couple had gone from Graceville.
1t is reported that wnen Gentry was
arrested in Mobile he told the author
tiles he was ready to plead guilty.
Just prior to Gentry's arrest the
Forehand girl left Mobile, It is
thought, to go back to her home at
Graceville. Gentry viii be brought
to Pensacola some time next week to
stand trial.
1t is alleged that Gentry deserted
his wife at Caryville and went to
Graceville, where he was employed
as night watchiAan. It WAS at this
time that he became acquainted with
the girl, and apparently induced her
to flee with him to Mobile, it being
stated that Gentry had purchased two
tickets to Mobile The police in Mo
bile were notified, but it was several
weeks before any trace of the parties
could be found.
Malley Forehand is only 10 years
old and the man she ran away with
is 81. The girl has been living with
her mother at their home in Grace
vile for the last four or five years,
and it is understood her reputation
had been without suspicion.

NEUTRALS MAY BE
IN THE WAR SOON

Washington, April Diplomats
here expect war declaration by the
United States will be followed by eff
forts of the entente allies to per-
suade some other neutrals to join the
war. The moral effect of this gov
ernment's action is regarded as suffl=
cient to swing over some of the
European neutrals that have been on
the verge of war months. Many of
them have regarded the United States
as a leader of neutral opinion.
Efforts to bring in some of the
South American republics would not
be unexpected It is felt IN some
diplomatic quarters here that the in
terests of South America are identical
with those of the United States.
Many of the South American repub-
lies have suffered from the war meas
ures of Germany and German subma-
rines have taken the lives Ct gaany Of
their citizens.
