Railroad Administrators Record

n IRECTOR-GE McADOO'S report
II to the President upon the results of the
first seven months of Federal control OF in
terror transportation is a reassuring docu-
ment. 1t indicates with clearness that uni
fled control has accomplished it's primary
purpose, namely: the more expeditions dis
patch OF the enormous volume of freight
which war conditions have created. That
traffic is moving to better advantage than at
any time since this country entered upon its
beligerency, every shipper must agree. and
that the railroads are standing the heavy
strain put upon their facilities is manifest
to all those interests which depend upon the
carriers for The success OF their war opera
lions.
Moreover, the director-general has moved
decisively toward liberaliZing the pay Of the
100000 men who make up the railway per-
sonnet OF the country. He has brought about
important increases in the wages Of all the
skilled and unskilled railroad even
though to do it, he faced the necessity OF
drawing very heavily upon the earnings of
the roads. He has cut off all the high
priced railroad presidents and removed from
the Federal pay roll many other corporate
officials Of the various companies.
These results have been achieved con-
cretely, and they speak we'll for Mr.. McAdoo's
efficiency the one hand and for his cour-
age the other. But he was not more
100000 he added to the railroad S pay roll
than he was in eyying additional tax OF
30 per cent upon the shippers in order to
make this possible. His increase in freight
rates was step that few men would have
taken. if there had been any possible way
to have avoided or to have postponed it,
1t goes without saying that Mr.. McAdoo
hopes to make government operation of the
railroads sufficiently attractive to the coun-
try that government ownership will follow.
He has never said much but ii has not
been necessary for him TO say it, The whole
policy and purpose of Federalzed control
during the period OF the war is designed to
perpetuate that control after peace has come.
Evidence OF this is TO be seen on every hand
and in practically every move made by the
railroad administration.
Even so, Mr.. McAdoo was not willing to
promote that cause at the expense OF the men
: who make the wheels go around. He might
have held them Off for time and avoided
the necessity for a horizontal advance in
freight rates. This advance not popular.
II was resented by great many interests,
and it provided the antigovernment owner
ship people with an argument against such
ownership that has been, and will continue
to be, difficult 10 answer. All this must have
been fully understood by the director gen.
! eral. hut, Notwithstanding il, he raised the
| rates and raised the pay of his men.

strength of German Army.

J. w. s.. South Boston.-There Is.
naturally, no definite information as to
the number of men in the German army.
For forty years preceding May, 1912.
the Legislation Of Germany allowed
standing army OF l per cent OF the
population. At the latter date. how
ever, the Reichstag enacted law rails
ing the peace-time strength Of the army
to 700. 900 men, the population number
ing about $1,000, 900. The following
year, when the government could point
to the Collapse of Turkey as a COM
polling reason for action, new meas
Ire was carried, fixing the strength at
$4,000 and providing for certain de-
ffciencies in material. AS striking as
the army increase was. the nonrecur-
ring property tax OF S225,000,000 and
the hasty TRIPPING OF the war treasure
stored at Spandau. In September, 1917.
Germany had, according TO estimates
by the French government. 100000
men military service on the front lines
and behind them: had lost as killed,
disabled and captured 100000, and
had in hospitals 100000 more, making
a grand total Of / $40, 900 men who had
been used in the war. According to the
same estimate, Germany has had H.
100000 men available since 1914, in
Guiding men OF the class of 1920 (then
in their seventeenth year,. In the g.,
400. 900 Of military age not then in

have suffered more than million cas-
