ton of the Korniloff revolt and in
planning the rehabilitation of the
whole army today issued a proclama-
ton expressing the governments
thanks to the committees on public
safety formed at the time of the Kor-
niloff rebellion. He asked that they
now dissolve. their functions having
ceased-to be a necessity.

Spies" the speaker said.
Mr.. farrell told how the railroads.
thru a cooperative arrangement,
worked out by their war board at
Washington, had reduced the car
shortage more than 80 per cent in a
little over four months. He said that
the shippers generally had worked
with the railroads in the campaign to
bring about better car loading, thus
eliminating waste.
The speaker called attention to the
fact that transportation is about the
only thing that can be purchased now
at the price which prevailed before
the war.
