 A. the conclusion of the conference ,;tb inc railroad heads, MT. McAdco srnounced mn that he had called on the nembers of the railroad war board to york out a general plan of operation. O Nonessentials May Be Barred.
 The railway heads told Secretary deAdoo that in their opinion one of he e1 first things necessary to be done 2 denial of transportation to non- ssential commodities. At present, bev said. American railroads are the ,nly I ones in the world handling war raffc and all commercial traffic of- cred at the same time.
 More than g month ago the rail nad war board recommended an or Isr nedying to more than goo nones- ential commodities, but the request vas denied. The most efficient CO rdination of transportation facilities, he railroad executives today told Sec ptary McAdoo, will not put the rail pads in a position where they can andle all the tarffc offered.
 At noon today the approximately 5OOOO miles of railway systems were ilently merged into one great con- inental chain for the winning of the var.

 Under President Wilson's decision, he great event, regarded by many as he opening of new epoch in govern nent operation and control of public tlities, passed by without. any for hal ceremony.
 Director General McAdoo was con- erring at the time with the members # the railroads war board and Rob- Tt s. Lovett, chairman of the priority hipment committee.
 The members of the war board --sall ailroad executives who have been Forking within the limitations of law, do what the government itself now roposes to accomplish, pledged their upport to the government adminis ration, as has practically every rail- bad man in the country.
 Orders for the aceual unifcation of he lines, common use of facilities and nuinment, which are expected to raise he freight jam immediately, will be he first results.

ERROR CAUSED MASS
SUBMARINE ATTACK

Washington, Sept. 12.-The attack
by fotilla of German submarines on
a fleet of merchant vessels off the
coast of France, in which two mer.
chantmen were sunk and one subma-
rine probably destroyed, as revealed
in meager dispatch to the navy de-
partment from Paris, led to the con.
clusion here that the German com.
mander enormously thought he had
to deal with troop transports or army
supply ships.
Officials are eagerly awaiting de.
tails of the fight, since, if the vessels
we're under convoy, as is supposed,
and either of the two steamers lost
was American, the first conveyed
American merchant vessel has fallen
victim OF the U4bOats.
The brief dispatch was received
from the American tanker Westwego
which had reached French port. :
1t merely said six submarines had
made massed attack on the mer
chant fleet, that two of the steamers
were sunk and that one submarine
probably was lost.

MUCH DEPENDS ON SPEED
Washington Is Watching Course Of
Russian Revolt.

Washington, Sept. 12.--Whether
Russia faces anarchy and reign of
terror as the fruit of General KOrni-
lofts revolt against Premier Keren-
sky's provisional government depends
largely, in the opinion of officials and
diplomats here, on the speed with
which the situation develops.
If the deposed commander-in-chief,
now reported marching on Petrograd
with troops personally loyal to him,
makes a spectacular show of strength
in the next few days it is believed
strong political influences, now Sc
cretly wavering in allegiance to the
government, may swing over, give him
a preponderance of authority and pave
the way for a powerful dictatorship.
If Premier Kerensky, on the other
hand, is able to hold fast to the sup
port of enough Of the various political
groups on whose attitude the ale
glance Of the army largely depends
he may crush the revolt quickly, adopt
some of the strict disciplinary rules
advocated by the Kornilof element
and weld the democratic forces into a
stronger instrument to fight Germany

Neither Maximum or Minimum.

From Washington dispatches it is
to be inferred that the price of $3.50
per bushel set for wheat at Chicago is
neither maximum or minimum.
Hoover is quoted as saying that the
price recently determined by the COM
mittee is that at which the food adj
ministration will buy and, plus actual
expenses, sell wheat for the govern
ment and for export. Also that the
maintenance Of the price fixed by the
committee is not guarantee over the
whole of the 1917 crop, and that it is
solely dependent on the export de-
mand SO long as the submarine war
fare is not overcome or until peace is
declared, whichever should come the
earlier.
From this it would appear that the
figures set by the price commission are
only temporary and can be assured
only so long as a foreign market at
the quotations named is assured.

!. Lincoln and the AgitatOrs.

. Lincoln and the Agitators rs
There are people who talk as il
drastic dealing with public agitators
against the war and seiective conscrip-
ton was something new in our history,
and as if traditional American free
dom was threatened by it. They for
get what happened in civil war times
under the direction Of one Of the most
thorough going Of democrats, Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Lincoln was determined that the
CONSUMPTION law of 1863 should be
maintained and he sanctioned the dis
placing Of civil law by military in
dealing with anti-war agitation. Many
persons, with the presidents sanction,
were tried by courtmartial for the dis
couragements Of enlistments or the
encouragement of desertion.
His position was that the govern
ment was not pursuing men for err
roneous opinions, but for definite &C
tions that were dangerous to the state
When meetings in Ohio and New Yorl,
formally protested to him against the
expulsion from the country Of the Cop.
perhead Vallandigham, the president
replied: "Must I shoot simple
minded soldier boy VINO deserts, while
must not touch hair of a willy agi.
tator who induces him to desert?"
This limitation of free speech LASTED
throughout the war. But democracy
survived. Indeed, Lincoln's drastic
suppression of the agitators was one
effective means by which democracy
did survive. !
With the end of the war, the reason:
for such dealing with mischief maker:
ceased, and freedom of speech was re
stored as will be the case with tn
passing of the present crisis.
Of course, no genuine American ha
any notion that democratic rights ar
seriously threatened. The only per
sons who profess that fear are thos
who in their hearts desire the defea
of Americas cause.-Kansas Cit,

Socialist Editor Elected From Meeting

Socialist Editor Elected From Meeting.
A little incident occurred at the
labor conference in the Minneapolis
auditorium which shows that Presi-
dent Gompers is made Of the right
stuff. Here's the story:
The labor conference was thrown in
to temporary disorder on Friday when a
delegate, Thomas O'Rourke, Baltimore
arose and shouted:
"Mr. Chairman, a friend Of the
kaiser is sitting beside me taking notes
on these proceedings"
The hall rang with shouts of "'Throw
him out!"
President Samuel Gompers ordered
the man in question, Alexis Georgian
said to be editor of a socialist paper, tt
leave the floor. W
Georgian arose and protested that
he was citizen of Russia. VI
"Go along without argument; you
might speak German" Mr.. Gompers
retorted.
Edward E. Carr, a Chicago delegate
entered a vigorous protest against
"branding man a friend of the
kaiser without hearing"
A Minneapolis delegate explained
that Georgian was only a "mislec
man."
"I'd rather deal with known scoun
drel than an unknown fool" shouted
Gompers, amid applause.
The incident ended and the conven
ton proceeded with it's business.
