FIFTEEN FRIENDS ENLIST
TO AVENGE DEATH OF BOY

NEWARK, Ohio, Dec. 13.-Archie
B. Leedy had a host OF friends in
his home town long before he en-
listed in the American navy. Now
they purpose to prove their loyalty
not only to him but to their country
by trying to avenge his death.
He is believed to have been one
OF those lost when a German sub
marine sent the destroyer Jacob
Jones to the bottom OF the sea
Since the sinking fifteen boys, all
friends Of Archie, have enlisted in
the navy, ten OF them going in a
body to the recruiting office at

The Webb export bill passed the
Senate yesterday by a vote Of 81 tc
II under the able generalship Of
Senator Pomerene of Ohio.
Success compliments the success.
full. 1t may be said for the losers
that as Senator Cummins Of Iowa
led them to defeat no rear guard
could have had better leadership in
what he had taken for granted was
"a losing fight. o..
Speaking for his amendments,
which were intended virtually to
remake the BILL" Senator Cummins
said that, as reported, it "nullifes
the provisions of our antitrust laws
as far as our export trade is con-
cerned. There is no doubt about
that"
He insisted that Eve must know
what we are doing while we are do
ing it." On the passage of the bill
there would be no regulation of
commerce to prevent monopoly as
far as our foreign trade is con-
cerned. AS our domestic and for
eign trade depend on each other,
what affects one must affect the
other.
Speaking on the third proviso of
the bill, he cited its prohibition as a
permission to control domestic prices
incidentally in controlling foreign
trade, provided it is not done "inten-
tentionally or unduly," giving such
significance to the question Of what
is due or undue in the control of
prices through combinations that on
his subsequent motion the word "un-
duly" was stricken out.
Explaining his amendment, he
said it gave exporters full permits
sion, necessary, or unnecessary, to
establish selling agencies for COM
bined action in foreign trade with
out freeing them from the control
of the antitrust law prohibiting ere
straint Of trade" at home. He felt
there was an Interior purpose In the
bill, and was not willing to grant a
blanket license to carry it out.
In the general debate Senator
Hitchcock made the point for the
opposition that If there were six ex-
porters in a single line of business
five of them combining might refuse
to admit the sixth, and SO shut him
out altogether. Senator Pomerene
replied that the sixth man might
form an association Of his own. "He
could not form it by himself, could
he? asked Senator Hitchcock.
Senator Salisbury made the strong
point for the bill that in cases where,
as in the trade of China now, our
business Is controlled by a few great
exporters, the purpose Of the SELL
ing agency feature of the bill is to
invite small exporters to combine
for theiF own benefit and that of
the country.
After the defeat of his amend |
ments, Senator Cummins said that
II, as was evidently the case" the !
antitrust laws are to be abandoned, |
we should not do anything unprece-
aented In inviting control of prices
at nome as an incident Of control
abroad. The phraseology of the bill
vas accordingly amended, and it
passed against the votes of Senators
borah, Cummins, Gronna, Hitchcock,

Presidents Plan
Following Is the solution Of the rail-
road problem which one of President
Wilson'S closest advisers thinks tho
President will advocate before Con-
Eress in the immediate future, per-
haps this week:
The railroads to be run as one or

utiVes, but under the supreme author

ably one man. to be named by the
President
The Government to take entire
financial responsibility, guaranteeing
to each OF the roads q sum applicable
for dividends or interest on their
bonds equivalent to their net earnings
under normal conditions, to be fixed
either as OF 1916 or for some period OF
years to be selected
The Government to furnish every
thing needed in the way Of additional
Squipments additions, and betterments,
and allowance for money thus spent

the roads are, turned back to their
owners, the security holders-if they
are turned bacle><At the close OF the

The labor problem to be met by

wages, II made, will not affect the
returns of interest and dividends to

TO be paid them being fixed as stated,
except that IL the roads are handed
back to their owners at the end OF
the war there viii be, Of course, the
additional burden in cost OF operation.

That Congress will adopt a i'hands |
or policy and give the railroads op-
to solve their own problems |

day.

was especially picturesque against
the idea that an Indian means a

while they were being managed as
wards by department clerks who
knew little or nothing about their

CHANGING ALTERNATING
CURRENT INTO DIRECT

A rectifier, as every user of electric
power should know, is a device to rec
tify, or change, alternating current
to direct current. While alternating
current is all right for light and
power, in a great number of instances,
such as storage battery charging,
electro-plating, etc., only direct cur
rent can be used; and, in most cases,
only alternating current is available
in cities and villages where there is
electric service. So the demand for
rectifiers, especially in the smaller
sizes, is very large.
The new alternating current recti-
ger recently perfected at the research
laboratories of the General Electric
company, is a hot cathode, argon gas
filled device. The principle is entire
ly new, although it has long been
known that a vacuum tube containing
a hot and a cold electrode acts as a
