SUITS AGAINST
RAILROAD
COMPANIES!
Recent Order Issued by d.
rector General McAdoo.

The following communication re-
garding suits against railroad COM
panies while under federal control
has been sent to all agents on the
Dakota division by Supt. Berner of
the Northern Pacific Ry. company:
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY
Office of Division Supt.
Circular No. 67, jamestown, April
%, 1918.
AGENTS: Hereunder l quote the
Director Generals General Order
No. 18, of April 9th, 1918.
General Order No. 18.
Whereas the Act of Congress ap-
proved March 21, 1918, entitled An
Act to Provide for the Operation of
Transportation Systems While I'm
der Federal Control, provides (Sec=
tion 10) that carriers while under
Federal control shall be subject to
all laws and liabilities as common
carriers, whether arising under state
or federal laws or at common laws,
except in SO far as may be inconsist-
ent with 1.-The provisions of this Act
or with any order of the President.
. But no process, mesne or final,
shall be levied against any property
under such federal CONTROL and
Whereas, it appears that suits
against the carriers for personal in
juries, freight and damage claims,
are being brought in states and jur-
isdictions far remote from the place
where plaintiffs reside or where the
cause Of action arose; the effect
thereof being that men operating the
trains engaged in hauling war mate
rails, troops, munitions, or supplies,
are required to leave their trains and
attend court as witnesses, and travel
sometimes for hundreds Of miles
from their work, necessitating alb
sence from their trains for days and
some times for week or more;
which practice is highly prejudicial
to the just interests of the Govern
ment and seriously interferes with
the physical operations of the rail-
roads; and the practice of suing in
remote jurisdictions is not necessary
for the protection Of the rights or
the just interests of plaintiffs,
1t is therefore ordered, that all
suits against carriers while under
Federal control must he brought in
the county or district where the
plaintiff resides, or in the county or
district where the cause of action
arose.

GpeciaI Staff DISPATCH,

Washington. Feb. 1S-The most
important and surprising thing in the
world war has been the submarine.
1t is the submarine rather than the
airship that has reyolutionized war
fare.
The submarine has been hundred
fold more destructive and thousand
fold more far-reaching in it's effect
on future warfare.
This is contrary to the expecta-
tons of the worlds dreamers and in
ventors. 1t was the navies of the air
graphing in the central blue that
Tennyson saw as making war so ter
rible that the only answer would be
"parliament of man" and a "feder-
alton of the world"
In the hands Of Germany the sub
marine has destroyed in one year APP
proximately 100000 tons of shipping
reducing the worlds total by nearly
100000 tons.
The submarine has. substituted act
ual destruction of world wealth, such
as fod and fabricated materials, for
the older war practices of seizure and
transfer of such wealth to other and
new owners.
In the words of the secretary Of the
navy, ''no specific has been discover
ed fortthe submarine" by this is
meant no method has yet been dis
covered to meet directly the attack or
to make a counter attack on the sub
marine. Conveys, arming merchant
men, and the construction of new tom
mage are merely palliatives. They
treat the symptoms of complaint
whose origin is not removed
The grand fleet, that is the navy Of
battleships, cruisers and dreadnoughts
has been driven to safe refuge be-
hind barriers Of mines. 1t remains
mostly in harbor. 1t does not attack
enemy harbors, cities or coasts pro-
tected by submarines.
The phrophecy of Admiral Sir Per-
cy Scott of the British navy that the
submarine would put the battle fleets
of modern times on the shelf has been
fulfilled.
The United States has not been
moved to stimulate production of sub
marines because there is no menace

Evidence Shows Dummies Were

Prospective Quiz

Washington, D.. c., Feb 19.-Re-
ports Of padded pay rolls in the gov
eminent fabricated steel shipbuilding
plant at Hog Island are under investi-
cation by the department of justice,
it became known today after a visit
by President Wilson to the depart
ment and the shipping board to, dis
cuss the prospective genral inquiry in
TO conditions there.
Under States Attorney Francis F.
Kane received instructions more than
two weeks ago to gather all the facts
possible concerning rlimors that
many officials were paid exorbitant
salaries and some so-called experts
we're paid from two or more accounts.
His report will be referred soon to a
special department Of justice investi-
gator to be appointed at the request
ST President Wilson to go deeply into
the Hog Island situation.
Ft Investigator Chosen.
After a brief conference with Presi-
lent Wilson, who called unexpectedly
It the department, Solicitor General
Davis intimated that the investigator
already had been chosen, but would
Tot be announced until the return to
he city of Attorney General Gregory,
Who was in Mississippi attending the
funeral of his mother. M
The president called at the depart
.nent of justice to see the attorney
general, but finding him out, went to
the Office Of the solicitor general, act
ing head Of the department. At the
offices Of the shipping board the presi-
dent did not find Chairman Hurley,

UNION WAGE SCALE WILL BE

mcnt and the shipping board, and j.
A. Eerres, ramel by the American
Federation of Labor. ..
This board has already settled both
the wage scale and the working con-
ditions for all the shipyards on the
Pacific coast, and is now busy on 9TH
err sections.
1t will seek to adjust wages TO the
higher costs OF living resulting from
the war. BY equalizing the wage rates
it seeks to prevent the enticing Of
workers from one yard to another
which demoralizes shipbuilding in
stead of helping it.
There will probably be five other
wage scale sections.
Uncle Sam DOESN'T WANT ANY
MAN TO GIVE UP HIS PRESENT
JOB NOW.
The shipping board, therefore, is
working in conjunction with the la
Dor reserve board of the United
States department Of labor and is
merely asking men to enroll for fu-
ture service-if called upon.
There is nothing obligatory upon a
man even when he is enrolled.

INE1UMAN BARBARITIES OF HUN
FIENDS IN BELGIUM RELATED

Shortly after s in the evening, the
bells were rung and he saw soldiers
going about smashing in doors with
the butts Of their rifles. The houses
thus opened were set on fire.
The claim was made that Belgian
civilians had shot at German troops,
but Bogaert says he saw no such oc-
currence What he did see was one
street where some German troops and
their horses lay dead. They had come
in from Malines and had been shot by
fellow Germans, who in their excite
ment, confusion and possibly intoxi-
cation, had mistaken them for Bel
gian or French soldiers coming to the
relief of Louvain That was the be-
ginning of the terrible things that
were done in Louvain.
Overcome by the horrer he had wit
messed Bogaert was swept along with
tide of people driven out Of the burn
ing city. He dropped in the fields
from exhaustion.
When he awoke up about II a. M
on August 26 two mounted German Of
ficers placed him under arrest and
told him he would be executed at 4
in the afternoon. He was told to hold
his hands up and keep them up.
He begged them to look at his pa
pers and passports, showing he was
an American citizen, but they refused.
Part of the German army was on the
march and Bogaert was told to walk
between the officers horses. For
hours he was compelled to tramp in
the heat and dust without even a
mouthful Of water or food. Finally,
almost in despair .Bogaert warned
them that the American minister to
Belgium, who knew he was in Lou
vain, would be sure to make inquiry
into his fate.
Bogaert tainted from fatigue. When
he recovered consciousness, he was
lying on the side of the road and the
Germans had disappeared. His sworn
statement as to what he saw in Lou
vain and the treatment accorded him
Is n the hands Of Minister Whitlock.

If there were such menace the sub

Our coast defended with submar

With Pay Question for Workers
BY MILTON RRONNER.
Special Staff Dispatch.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The United
States Shipping board wants 100000
expert workmen to labor in shipping
yards.
And there are thousands of patri-
Otic American workmen who are will
ing to give up their present jobs and
enter upon this new labor.
The trouble is to bring the men and
the board together Necessarily the
present campaign for enlistment of
250,000 men seems lacking in essen
tial details as follows:
First-What wages the men are to
get?
Second-Where they are to work?
Third-What the housing condi-

it, had it imminently staring at me-
only finally to be released and to
make my way back to Gods country
to- tell my fellow Americans what
manner of people the German soldiers
are"
The man who told me this was Vic
tor Bogaert, merchant of Lexington,
KY, Belgian by birth, American by
naturalization. He spent many years
Of his life in the bluegrass state, and
there his children were born. How
ever, his business often took him back
to Belgium, where he represented
American firms for whom he bought
precious stones
He had home in Brussels, too, liv-
ing almost across the street from Gen
eral Leman, the hero of Liege, who
was released by the Germans only the
other day.
SBogaert saw German soldiers wan
tonly destroying homes in the vicinity
of Liege and witnessed the nameless
abuses of women. But his most strik-
ing experiences were in Louvain. He
arrived there on Aug. 25, 1914, having
a permit to come there to look after
the welfare of some friends. Louvain
was at that time occupied by about
10000 German troops. When Bogaert
got out at the railroad station, the
streets were filled with soldiers, many
Of them draining wine from bottles

officer, swaying in a doorway and
muttefing: 'Verdammte Schweinhund'

epithet.

he heard q bugle blow, followed BY
cries Of; "The French are coming.

The rules Of outdoor tennis were
