the largest measure of its kind in world
history, was passed by the Senate Sat.

ators Stone of Mississippi, Smith of
Georgia and Smoot of Utah were named

made in the bill by the Senate, the bond
and certificates authorizations, interest
rates and provisions. giving the secretary
of the treasury board powers to deter
mine the life of the issues, remaining
as they came from the House. The most
important Senate amendment was that

Writing on a Moving Train.

Writing legibly on a fast moving
train is difficult to person unaccus-
toned to do 1t. The railroad conductor
knows the trick Of it and manages to
get along quite satisfactorily. He pre-
fers to write in standing position and
holds his right elbow firmly against his
side. The reason for this is that In a
sitting posture there is too much lat
eral movement in the trunk of the
body. while in a standing position this
is more easily controlled.
When the arm swings freely. as in
ordinary writing, several joints of the
body are affected In the process, each
of which is capable Of its own motion.
Holding the elbow against ones ribs
breaks those motion tendencies, ex-
cept that of the wrist, which movement
is necessary in writing. and thus the
pencil or pen is more easily controlled.

SOLDIERS DELAY TRAINS
Passengers Pay Fares for Men in Uni

Brattleboro, Sept. l7.-Several soldiers
from Massachusetts camps were the
means of delaying the o'clock train
from the south at Brattleboro about an
hour Saturday night. Conductor O'Brien
took charge of the train at South Yer
non, and some of the soldiers did not
have checks, claiming either that they
had lost them or that, being soldiers,
they did not have to pay and had no
money with them. Conductor OBrien
telegraphed to New London and was told
to hold the train until everybody either
paid or showed a check He called on
Police Chief George Wilson and went
through the train and found five soldiers
who had neither checks nor money. 9th
er passengers paid the fares for the boys
in khaki and the train then proceeded

OFFICERS SKEPTICAL
Naval Officer Leaves to Investigate Story
of Submarines.

Washington, Sept 1.-THE navy de-
partment Saturday night had no con
tirmation of reports of a hostile subma.
rine off the north Atlantic coast The
only information it had was the state
ment of British merchant captain that
his ship had received an IS. o. s." call
from another vessel saying she was at
tackled by Uboat as forwarded by
naval officers to whom the captain re-
ported An officer was Immediately sent
from Washington to investigate and ma
val stations and patrol boats were in
structed to keep close watch for any
raider. In the absence of confirmation,
navy officers were inclined to think that
the wireless call may have been hoax
sent by some amateur operator who may
have escaped the governments vigilance
If confirmation is received, warning to

AVOID WASTE OF COAL.
New England Coal Committee Sends Ap-

To the Citizens of New England:

To the Citizens of New England
Coal is essential to the successful
prosecution of the war. Every available
pound can be put 80 use 1t is the pa,
triotic duty of every citizen to avoid
waste Of coal and TO consider how his
coal requirements can be reduced.
New England in particular is confront

thirds of New England's coal supply
normally comes by water. Many yes.
els engaged in carrying coal to New
England ports have, however, already
been taken by the goernment, and more
will have to be surrendered for govern
ment service as the war goes on. Our
railroads are now burdened to the limit
of their capacity and cannot take care of
the extra load thus thrown upon them.
With these limitations upon our trans
portation facilities come the greatest de-
mand for coal ever known in New Eng

WHAT IS GERMANY?

Has not time about arrived for a
suspension of all this superior Ian
guage about making the world safe
from democracy and liberating the
oppressed people of Germany from
the heel of the Kaiser, and our ava
kening to the fact that we are at war
and very serious war? We do not
, wish to make light of the high aimed
words of our president or of the
idealism that made this great re-
public enter the list of battle against
autocracy, but let us look the facts
in the face.
If any of our readers has friend
who is really on the inside at Wash
ington d. c., or who is member OF
the National Security League, he will
tell you that the situation is most
grave; that the Allies are at the crest
of their power; that the submarine
menace is more serious than is pub
licly admitted; that Germany has to-
day accomplished all that the most
sanguine junker could have hoped
for and that she has only to main
tain the defensive, with matters pro-
crossing as they are, and she will
win the war. These are facts! And
some people are still debating on
whether we should have entered the
war! And others are promoting
propaganda!
Now what is this Germany which
we are fighting and which has adj
vanced measurable step toward the
J conquest of Europe, if not of the
world? Who is it that extended the
power of Germany from Riga to
Bagdad? Is it the Kaiser, or Won
Tripitz, or Won Hindenburg, or the
whole outfit Of junkers? No! it is
the German people, united and firm,
behind the Kaiser! This is the Ger
many the United States is fighting,
and don't anyone make any mistake
about it,
1t may be that the German people
are misled; that they have wrong
ideas and wrong ideals instilled in
them from childhood; and that they
would have greater individual OPP
portunity under democratic form
of government. But this is no time
to worry about the German people.
They would not thank us for it and
we have another job on our hands.

ARE NICE WORDS FOR DE vos.

The Orville Gazette publishes the
following little paragraph in regard
to Frank De Vos Of the Omak Chro-
nicle:
The report came to us that Frank
De Vos of the Omak Chronicle, is
so arranging his business affairs that
his wife can take charge OF his pa
per in case he is taken in the select
i've draft. He was not among the
first confinement called for ex-
animation, but expects to be in the
next call, and if so, he will file no
exemption, but join the colors cheer
fully and do his part in the defense
Of his country which needs the sup
port every man and the aid of
every woman in the land if democ-
racy is to prevail over autocracy in
this world. We expected nothing
less from Frank De Vos. Although
of German descent, Mr.. De Vos is as
loyal to this country as any man in
whose veins flows the blood of
many generations of native borns.
His patriotism has been freely dis
played through the columns of the
Chronicle and his actions prove that
he is not lip server alone. His ex-
ample should be an inspiration to
the young men of the country. 1t
may be added that Mr.. De Vos' faith
er publishes a paper in Michigan,
and there is not a more loyal citizen
Of that state than Mr.. De Vos. We
admire the senior member of the
family as we admire the junior
member, for his true, and thorough
Americanism.

RAIL ROADS ARE MEETING
WAR DEMANDS FAVORABLY.

Plans for the movement of over a
million men-the largest troop move
ment in the history of the country
are now being perfected by the A
merican Railway Association at the
request of the United States Govern
ment. Altogether, $4,000 men will
nave to be transported to the vari-
Gus environments now building to
house the new national army. $780,
600 national guardsmen are even
now being assembled at their camps.
This was the announcement made
today by C. ]. Mcdonald, who, as
General Agent of the Western De-
partment headquarters of the asso-
citation, is perfecting the details out
here.
"The movement will start about
September 5th.," said Mcdonald
Between that date and September
9th, the roads will complete the en-
trainment of 100000 men, or about
thirty per cent of the number to be
moved to the camps.
1T is expected that second mo-
vement of another 100000 will begin
on September 10Th, continuing for
four days thereafter; and a third
movement of the same size will Start
on October End.
can idea of the task in making out
schedules that will guarantee the
safe and prompt transportation OF
these armies may be cleaned from
the fact that, to move merely one
field army of $4,000 takes 1929 cars
made up into 366 trains, with as
many locomotives and crews And
there are over twelve times as many
men concerned in the plans we are
now working out.
1--WE have also been asked for
transportation to carry the $4,000
members of the national guard to
heir training camps. The national
guard movement has already start
ed and will continue in increasing
| volume until all have been moved,
Shippers and receivers of freight
have been appealed to by the car
service commissions, and can greatl,
help if they will cooperate with re-
spect to commercial freight, keeping
in mind the herculean task the roads
are performing in handling this en-
ormous traffic.
