SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 8. -
Warrants for the arrests of defend

were last night telegIaphed to United
States marshals in various parts of
the country and numerous arrests are
expected to Be made today, as the dr..
rections given were to commence ser.

rapidly as possible.
Many. prominent defendants have
already been arrested, arraigned and
some have been released on bail in
tn sum of $4,000 each These had
evidently anticipated arrest for they
were ready with bail bonds almost as
soon as they were brought into court.
No arrests we're made yesterday
and no further details were given out
by the officials. Developments are
expected today with the further ar.
rests that have been arranged.
No arrests we're made locally today
and no warrants received by the fed
eral authorities, so far as could be
learned, up to the hour Of going to
press. The belief in federal circles
seems to be that the indictments men

PROVING THEIR WORTH.

Those who have been prone TO hold
the Boy Scouts lightly. and view the
boy Scout idea as q rather harmless
fad, are due to revise their opinions.
Many who are not well informed
about the work and aims of the
movement, have looked upon 1t as
something that wouldn't do the boys
any harm" hut as being rather I'M
important.
But almost every week, now, the
Boy Scouts are proving their worth.
They got surprising results in the
Liberty Loan campaign. They have
done their bit IN every patriotic
movement since the war began.
And now they have tackled a job
of their own that is we'll worth while.
They have appointed themselves col
lectors Of the Red Cross monthly sub
lscriptions. Nobody else. apparently,
had the time to remind delinquent
Subscribers Of their Red Cross dues.
The local branch saw the monthly
fund 1t had counted on shrinking Is
TO 80 per cent because subscribers
neglected to send in their checks. The
Boy Scouts have undertaken the task
and promise to bring the collections
close to the 100 per cent mark.
Good work boys. You've ''made
good" on that one enterprise, If you
never do anything else to justify
your existence as an organization.

preaching 80 ought to know by
definite signs that he is not as young
as he once was, but the conscience
OF the average man ought to tell him
something about whether he has
taken pains to preserve his health
as he ought to have done.
The sign for which all men should
look, even as early as their twentiess
is the increasing waistline. This Is
bound to be accompanied by de-
crease of agility ard sometimes it is
attended by "shortness" o. breath.
Increase Of girth, be it ever so small,
deserves watching If the individual
is mindful Of his future. 1t is not
that embonpoint is fatar or even seri-
Gus, but it is one of the almost in
fallible signs that the person
possessing it has passed over to the
shady side. It is so much easier to
reduce" in the beginning than IL is
after a good start has been made
toward the fat mans class that the
point ought to be kept in mind by
every man who prizes his physique
and wants to live not only long but
comfortably.
1t would be a fine thing for all Of
us, If the waistline could always be
kept below the chest measure. 1t
would be a good mark to set, and
practical one to go by. The bay
window" artidcially created on the.
human frame. never helped a man
yet. It is excess baggage that makes
him pay every time he takes a step.

MoLEHILLs OF MOUNTAINS.

This war has reduced many noun
tains to molehills.
Imagine, If you can, the discussion
that would have been aroused a few
years ago, by a suggestion to con-
gress that the railroads OF the coun-
try be taken over and operated by the
President.
Yet such q suggestion was made
yesterday to congress by no less an
authority than the Interstate Com
merce commission. which urged 1t as
an alternative in case congress did
not authorize a government loan to
the railroads. the increase OF rates
and the revocation of the antitrust
laws.
It is but an incident now, but it
would be, perhaps. the most far
reaching and important piece of pure
ly domestic legislation passed since
the freeing Of the slaves.
The war has brought the railroads
face to face with the most serious
problem in their history. They can't
go on as they have been. Their rates
are limited and their income fixed,
but their costs OF operation have been
mounting in higher taxes. higher
wages, and greatly increased costs Of
equipment. The margin Of safety be-
tween earnings and costs has been
wiped out. Many roads are showing
actual losses. and many others rum
ming without adequate depreciation
charges. They can't float loans; they
can't increase their earnings; they
dare not combine for fear OF criminal
prosecution; and yet the government
is calling for increased transporta-
ton facilities to win the war.
The alternative to higher rates, a
government loan, and the revocation
Of the pooling laws, Is govern
ment operation, and 1t would not be
surprising If such a step were Just
around the corner.
4 few years ago such an issue

would have made and wrecked
political parties; broken friend
ships; and have been an issue
in bitter political campaign. To-
day the average mans view might be
summed up with: Take 'em over, If
there is no other way out OF IT,"
Government operation might be eff
fected with a very small measure Of
confusion. It could be done by guar
anteeing the roads certain net earn
ings on their present securities. and
continuing the same operating or
CARNATIONS that now exist. This
could be q temporary expedient to
continue during the war only. 1t
would be moro a problem Of book
keeping than Of reorganization.
The one solution Of the problem
that would not be tolerable would he
to permit the railroads to deteriorate
until they were no longer adequate
to handle the traffic OF the country

The Editors Mail Bag

To the Editor of The Forum:
A little lad who appeared to be
about years old, Etrolled into the
dairy lunch room. where was eat
ing, last Sunday morning at o'clock.
He was Immediately dressed and as
he walked up the aisle, with his flax
en- curls bobbing up and down on his
shoulders, one could not help but
think that a little angel was in the
room. Thinking that he was ac-
companied by his mother or father
and that he had run ahead of them
l resumed eating my breakfast. Such
was not the case. however, for it lat
er developed that he was accom-
the counter. and standing on his tip
toes asked for zone egg, a piece Of
pie and a cup of coffee"
After l had finished my breakfast,
my curiosity got the best OF me, and
walked over to his table and asked
him If could sit down with him. To
which he replied "sure." In answer
to the questions regarding the where
abouts Of his parents and what he
was doing out so early in the morn
ing, this is what he told me:
We'll, mister, my mother is dead
and my daddy is a travelling man,
and-and you know l go all over with
daddy. Last night my daddy was out
late, and knew he was tired so 1
didn't want to wake him Vp, and so I
dressed up and came down for break
fast myself. You know. mister, /
don't mind this cause have to do
it almost every Sunday morning. /
don't know why, but daddy always
stays out real late every Saturday
night
After left him thought over
what he had said to me, and / came
to this conclusion: There's a whole
lot Of us grown up folks that have a
whole lot to be thankful for. We
should all be boosters instead of
knockers, every day of our life. We
shouldn't make a big fuss over every
little inconvenience we have to suf-
fer; think of the trials and tribula-
tions of this little boy. We should
be thankful every day for having
kind lovable parents and compan-
ionable brothers and sisters; and feel
thankful that We are not like this
young chap who probably never
knew a mothers embrace. who never
had a homo. who never had anybody
to play with.

Russia's Foraiun Minister Has Been

The sky fs the limit I'm the game Of
Leon TrotslZg. RuSSia's new foreign
minister. When the car was de-
pcsed TrotslSy was living in a tene-

peace TO the peoples and rulers Of

paper for s12 n week
Articles signed by him were so
radical that frequently the editors OF
this Russian daily censored or de-
pleted them entirely. Those who
knew him best, say that TrotslSy is
an honest man. though q misguided
radical.
He is about 40 years old and has
been q journalist associated with the
revolutionary movement for twenty
years. Some say he was born In ST.
IBERIA, others that he comes from the
Black Sea district. His real name is
Leber BTaunstein. In the revolution
OF 1905, he was president OF the
workmen's council In q book pub
application OF the full Socialist pro-
gram, not only in Russia, but every
where. The collapse OF the revolt
sent him to Siberia After several
years he was released and, reSuming
his agitation against the car, was
forced to 50 abroad.
Driven From Germany and France.
At the beginning Of the war he was
in Berlin, but his radical teachings
were too much for the kaiser, and he
was compelled to go to Switzerland.
The atmosphere there was unfriend-
ly, and in a few weeks he went TO
Paris and edited a pacifist newspaper
there. When Russian troops arrived
in France. the influence OF the car
was used to bring about his suppress
sion. He moved on Spain. which
also was inhospitable to the radical
propaganda One night he was kid
mapped and the next day he awoke on
a steamer bound for Havana. Cuba
was too small to contain his energies
and he took the first ship to New York
reaching there last January.
When the revolution broke, he lost
no time in starting for Petrograd.
He was taken on the ship at Halifax
by British authorities, but subse-
Quently was released on the protest
OF the Russian provisional govern
ment, to start over again. Upon his
arrival he Joined the radical faction
that was denouncing America for its
treatment OF the ]. w. w. and the

union buttons. TIE other employees
adopted non-union buttons. When
the dispute was arbitrated before
the committee appointed by the pub
lie safety commission, it was agreed
that all buttons should be eliminat-
ed. The union men bound themselves
to abide by the decision of their rep
resentatives. It is now claimed that
this elimination was not agreed to
except by silence. When the union
men began wearing their buttons
again, they were discharged, and the
whole situation was reopened.
On the one hand there can be
sympathy with men who are denied
the right to organize.
On the other hand there can be
sympathy with an employer, part of
whose men refuse to abide by an
agreement, provided such an agree
ment actually was made and ap-
proved.
But there can be no sympathy with
the agencies that are trying to fan
this local flame of discomfort into
a confagration that will paralyze
the street car service. tie up half the
manufacturing plants, and turn both
cities over to a reign Of mob VOL

The bitter feeling thus engendered
can serve no useful purpose except
to advertise these agencies-and it
is worthy Of note that the Nonparti-
san league leaders are among them.
1t will but make q settlement more
difficult.

HARVEY's EXAMPLE.

The little city of Harvey is setting
q good example to other North Da-
kota cities with its municipal serv-
Zee flag.
The young women Of the city are
volunteering to make 1t. and it will
have 1874 stars.
II was to be expected that any city
the size Of Harvey which sent 1914
men to the colors. would have enough
thoughtful and patriotic people left
TO remember the men after they went.
The flag idea is but another express
sion of the spirit that prompted the
men to answer the call. Bully for
Harvey, not just for the flag idea,
but for the spirit behind 1t. Wen
wager that the city that thinks OF
service flag. has its share OF the
lznittern and Liberty bond buyers.
