OUR RAILROADS IN
WARTIME

A great many astounding accom-
pl1shments have been recorded BY
our country since we joined the side
OF the allies in the world war si1
months ago, and with which the
average layman is unfamiliar. The
wonderful organization and upbuild-
ing OF our army, the sixteen army
environments - cities that have
sprung up almost over night, the
rapid additions to our navy and our
wonderful new merchant marine, the
Red Cross organization, and hun
dreds of other complex government
activities. And not the least in the
way Of wartime activities is that
which has been shown by the rail-
roads OF our country, striking ex-
ample of what efficient organization
can do. A few days after war was
declared the leading railroad men
OF America gathered in Washington
and agreed to lay aside their differ
ences and pull together-to put
their shoulders to the wheel and do
their bit to aid the government. The
result was that the railroads of the
country were co-ordinated each line
agreed to use the others cars, and
instead of shipping empty cars back
and forth new methods for loading
and unloading were devised. Heavier
loads were made the rule, and where
car was loaded say with $4,000.
pounds of potatoes last year, today
that car is loaded with $4,000 or
$4,000 pounds. Six hundred and
ninety-three railroads are TODAY
operated as one system, with 263,-
600 miles Of trackage, employing
over one and half million people.
The result is that no one would
know war was on-judging from the
railroads. Traffic is being handled
almost as usual, in spite of the fact
that there is 20 per cent added
demand on transportation facilities.
And at this season of the year, when
crop movements are so very import
ant, the railroads are meeting the
Passenger traffic is the
same as usual, one can go anywhere
ne pleases, whether on business or
vacation bent. Compare this with
Germany. There if a man wants to
go anywhere he must explain, il he
wants to ship anything he must
needs wait until military traffic has
been cared for.
German efficiency has long been
lauded as the acme of perfection
but democratic America is fast show
ing that Germany hasn't a corner on
The supply of efficiency.

A GREAT CREDIT TO
AMERICA

One of the traditions of tn,
American army is that both the arm!
and the individuals composing i
have always respected women ant
children, their rights and wishes. i
is matter of history that during
the Civil War the lone woman ir
her cottage with thousands OIL
soldiers encamped in all directions
knew that every hour of the night
no matter how stormy, soldier in
blue or soldier in gray was posted
in front of her door with orders to
defend her with his life.
During the Spanish-American war
this fine spirit of chivalry was a
source of surprise and delight to the
people of the benighted islands to
whom our armies carried protection
and relief.
In the Boxer war in China the
Americans distinguished themselves
and the German soldiers brought on
the fear and hatred of those who
witnessed the low moral standard
manifested by the strong toward the
helpless.
In the present war an American
soldier somewhere in France" in
suited girl by his conduct and now
1t is being told in the homes all over
France that the American people
will board him for thirty years in
federal prison at Fl. Leavenworth.
A soldier writing home to his pal
says the American soldiers don't
even look at girls visiting the
camps in France, but let them do all
the looking themselves; that the
men respect them so much and hold
them so sacred the girls really seem
disappointed at times. If that seems
overdrawn, one can get an idea of
his wit and exaggeration by noting
that he says the boys in his company
had to pass plum tree loaded with
fruit on their way to meals, and that
each fellow as he passed that tree,
looked the other way and gulped.
Anyhow our men are setting an
example that echoes around the
world, and when this war is over
there will be other people besides
Americans who will want to visit
Faneuil hall and the Cradle of
Liberty.

SANITATION POINTS

1. Have the herd examined
at least once a year by a COM
petent veterinarian. Promptly
remove animals suspected of be-
ing in bad health. Never add
an animal to the herd until GER
tain it is free from disease, par
ticularly tuberculosis.
2. Never allow a COW to be
excited by fast driving, abuse
or unnecessary disturbance.
3. Clean the entire body Of
the COW daily. Hair in the re-
gion of the udder should be kept
short by clipping.
4. Do not allow strong-flavOr-
ed food, like cabbage or turnips,
to be eaten except Immediately
after milking. Changes in feed
should be made gradually.
5. Provide fresh, pure drink
ing water in abundance.

WRECKS At WRAH(LE
Struck Sunday. Morning HeI
265 Passengers and Crew

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-The steam
snip Mariposa is total wreck today.
The vessel went on the rocks near
Wrangell, Alaska, Sunday morning and
slipped off late last night after all Of
the passengers had been taken off.
The 265 passengers, including Con
gresional Delegate Charles A. Sulzer,

hardships were suffered. The passeng
ers will be brought on to Seattle on
the steamship Jefferson.
The Mariposa, which is owned by
the Alaska Steamship company, sank
in the dangerous inside passage after
hitting on the same rock which the
steamer Delhi struck several years ago.
Another striking incident marking
the wreck was the fact that it was the
Mariposa that picked up the survivors
of the fishing vessel few days ago.
Phe Mariposa was considered the
finest vessel on the Alaska run. She
formerly was in the passenger service
between San Francisco and Honolulu.

DEMANDED BY STATE
IN De SAU[LES TRIAL
Beautiful Chilean Heiress
Faces Charge Of Murder
Without Emotion
BY Hugh Baltic

Omitted rPess Staff Correspondent
Mineola, l.. l., Nov. 19.--The death
penalty for Mrs. Blanca de Saulles,
beautiful Chilean heiress, was demand
ed by the prosecution today at the open
ing of her trial on charge Of muir
dering her husband, John Longer de
Saulles, former Yale football star.
District Attorney Weeks exercised a
peremptory challenge against Thomas j.
Mclaughlin Of Hampstead, the first
prospective juror called, because he was
not. positive that he could send a wom-
an to the electric chair.
CHASTITY pale, Mrs. De Saulles enter
ed the court room shortly before Judge
Manning went on the bench. She was
guarded by a woman, Mrs. Phinneas A
Seaman, wife of the sheriff. Mrs. De
Saulles was simply dressed in slirtwaist
and skirt. Her hair was drawn back
from her forehead and tied in Gre,
clan knot. The short trip from the jail
to the courtroom was made through the
tunnel Of sighs," an underground
passage.
Mild, meek and gentle, slowly blink
ing her great dark eyes, Mrs. de Saul,
les seemed the very opposite of the
tiger woman" who killed her former
husband the night of August 8 because
he would not give up her child. Admis.
sion was by card only.
Chilean relatives of Mrs. de Saulles
occupied seats inside the court railing
The woman on trial gave most Of her
attention to Judge Manning, watching
him narrowly. She ignored all others
except her attorneys, Henry Uterhart
and Defense Counsel Smith
Prosecutor Weeks declared that he
would present a plain case of murder
with eye-witnesses to the shooting
When he said this, Mrs. de Saulles gaz
! ed at him sadly for moment, thel
dropped her eyes and pressed her hanS
TO her forehead YEARLY. Defense Coun
sci outlined their pleas OF temporar,
insanity and declared they would pro
duce alienists in support Of it.
There were $50 jurors in the speega
panel. Mclaughlin, the first is an in
surance agent. The others are farmer
and retired business men from Mineols
and were neighbors OF the slain man
ers. Judging by the time consumed il

ings, the American stood up languidly.
The Germans were alert. There was
an instantaneous bang and small shell
whizzed across No Man s Land. The
incautious Sammy was the target. The
missile struck the butt of his rifle and
passed on, exploding wickedly twenty
feet distant. The American soldier was
knocked off his feet. He arose to his
knees, cursing fluently, wiped the dirt
off himself, still holding tight to the
splintered piece of rifle.
s'Why, the sons of guns!' he drawl-
ed, "and beat it back quickly to get
another rifle. He worked that piece
overtime the rest Of the day trying to
get the Fritz who had come so near
getting him."

today to Premier Clemenceaa message
from the major in command of the Gle

CRITICAL PERIOD OF

English Premier Is Confident,
However, Of Winning Over
Opponents
By Ed L. Keen

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, Nov 10. - Premier Lloyd
George fought the fight of his polit
ical life this afternoon-and his strong
est weapon was President Wilson S
powerful support.
Facing combination of his enemies
drawn together from all ranks of all
parties in the house of commons by
alarm lest England s army system be
changed by a supreme inter-allied war
council and further cemented by the
Welsh statesman S brutal frank
ness" in his recent Paris speech, the
premier was regarded as certain to
emerge victorious.
The declaration for unity of purpose
in a war council included in President
House, head of the american mission
here, was timed too aptly with the cri-
sis in the Lloyd Gearge matter not to
suggest to- many British politicians
that President Wilson saw the chance
of aiding the British premier to
achieve that unity of purpose which
America feels essential for winning the
war.
These same circles recalled also that
Lord Northeliffe' IS famous bombshell
letter. of last week synchronized very
closely in point of its publication and
the emphais laid on the necessity for
unity, with the president IS instructions
to, his American commissioners in Lon
don.
The prime point which the Lloyd
George supporters in the house of COM
mons desired to make clear in the af-
ternoon S debate was that the Lloyd

ell does not propose to change British
army councils nor commands.
