BILL FOR FEDERAL OPERATION
OF RAILWAYS PASSES HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The
bill to govern Federal operation of
railroads passed the House by vote
of .S37 to 6. J
Two Democrats and four Repub-
kcans voted against the measure
when the final test came. They were
Thomas, Kentucky, and Gordon,
Ohio, Democrats; Chandler, Okla
homa; Denison, Illinois; Haugen,
Iowa, and Ramseyer, Iowa, ~Republi-
cans.
The Senate previously had passed
the bill which now goes to conference
for settlement of differences between
the two houses. The House bill pro-
vides for the return of the roads to
their owners two years after the wal
ends, instead of in eighteen months
as the Senate draft proposes, and the
House measure vests final rate fixing
authority in the President, while the
Senate would leave this power in the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
These two sections Of the bill
caused spirited fights in the House
Thursday. Opponents of these fea
lures won momentary victories wheI
the bill was discussed in committee o,
tuc WuOlc, UuI Ou lludl NOCc pIOpO
nents marshaled their forces, mostl.
on the Democratic side, and succeed
ed putting through the bill with thes'
features intact as framed by the com
mittee.
An amendment by Representative
Sweet, of Iowa, giving the rate max
ing power to the Interstate Commerc,
Commission was adopted in commit
tee of the whole 164 to 157. Thi
showed almost the full strength fo
the amendment as when the vote wa
taken on final passage it was defeat
ed 165 to 211.
In the committee of the whole al
amendment by Representative Esch
of Wisconsin, to limit tenure afte
the war to one year was adopted 13'
to 40, but like the Sweet amendmen
it was thrown out on final passage
206 to 166.

"Chats With Fritz.n

We were swimming in money, from
the receipts of our theatrical venture,
and had forgotten all about the war,
when an order came through that our
brigade would again take over their
sector of the line.
The day that these orders were is
sued, our captain assembled the COM
paDy and asked for volunteers to 20 to
the Machine Gun school at st. Omar.
1 volunteered and was accepted.
Sixteen men from our brigade left
for the course in machine gunnery.
This course lasted two weeks and we

During the day our gun would be
dismounted on the fire step ready for
instant use. We shared dugout with
the Lewis gunners. At 'stand to" we
would mount our gun on the parapet
and go On watch beside it until "stand

would be dismounted and again placed
In readiness on the fire step.

The Saxons. though better than the
Prussians and Bavarians, have a nasty
trait Of treachery In their makeup.
At one point Of the line where the
trenches were very close, a stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
It was bis turn, Tommy would crawl
to this stake and attach some London
papers to it, while at the foot he would
place tins of bully beef, fags, sweets,
and other delicacies that he had re-
ceived from Blighty in the ever looked
for parcel. Later on Fritz would come
out and get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would 60 out
to see what Fritz put into his stocking.

Tommy lost his job.

had set trap and gained another vic

mark against him in the book of this
war. From that time on diplomatic re-

OF relief was premature. The woman
who wants TO tumble into comfort
able skirt and slip on a loose jacket
with white shirtwaist, will not hav"
her wish gratified this season. If she
expects TO remain in the fashion.
Skirts are not especially comfort

they must be SHINY cut and narrow

not loose, and they cannot be careless

1t is said that all the cOrsets and

can well believe it. If ones outer

step into one of these new and accept
ed tailored suits or gowns, must be as
shipshape as a race horse going to the

Unless she learns that lesson and
learns it thoroughly, she may as well
pass by the new American and French
