PRESIDENT REPORTS To-
CONGRESS ON RAILWAYS

1t in the presetn extraordinary cir
cumstances.
While the present authority of
the executive suffices for all pur-
poses of administration and while,
of course, all private interests
must for the present give way to
the public necessity ii is, am sure
you will agree with me, right and
necessary that the owners and
creditors of the railways, the hold
ers of their stocks and bonds,
should receive from the govern
ment an unqualified guarantee that
their properties will be maintain
ed turnout the period of federal
control In as good repair and com
plete equipment as at present and
that the several roads will reeeive
under federal management such
compensation as is equitable and
just alike to their owners and ia
the general public. would sug-
gest the average net railway oper-
ating income of the three years

Wake up feeling fine! Best
laxative for men, women
and children.

Enjoy life! Remove the liver
and bowel poison which Is keeping
your head dizzy, your tongue
coated, breath offensive. and
stomach sour. Don't stay bilious,
sick, headachy, constipated and
full of cold. Why don't you get
a box Of Cascarets from the drug
store and eat one or two tonight
and enjoy the incest. gentlest
liver and bowel cleaning you ever
experienced. You will wake up
feeling fit and fine. Cascarets
never grippe or sicken like salts,
pills and calomel. They act SO
gently that you hardly realize you
have taken a cathartic. Mothers
should give cross, sick, bilious or
feverish children whole Cas-
caret any time-they act thoroly
and are harmless

Things Needlessly

1.-THE common administration
will be carried out with as little
disturbance of the present operat-
ing organizations and personnel
of the railways as possible. NotlI-
ing will be altered or disturbed
which it is not necessary to dis
turb. We are serving the public
interest and safeguarding the pub
lie safety, but as we are also re-
gardful of the interest Of those by
whom these great properties are
owned, and glad to avail our
selves of the experience and train
ed ability of those who have been
managing them.
at is necessary that the trans
portation of troops and of war ma
terials, of food and of fuel and
Of everything that Is necessary for
the full mobilization of the ener-
gies and resources of the country
should be first considered; but 1t
is clearly in the public interest
also that the ordinary activities
and the normal Industrial and
commercial life of the country
should be interfered with and dis
located as little as possible and
the public may rest assured that
the interest and convenience OF the
private shipper will be as careful
ly served and safeguarded as 1t

The secretary of the treasury

that the congress may grant these

clear what they are, | have deem
ed it my duty to remove those
difficulties wherever ! have the
legal power to do so. To assume

cumstances would have been much

duty as the representatives of
the nation to do everything that
it is necessary to do to secure the
complete mobilization of the
whole resources of America by as
rapid and effective means as can
be found. Transportation sup
plies all the arteries of mobiliza-

whole process of the nations ac-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. A.
Third Liberty bond campaign will
be opened Feb. Is, it was learned
today.
What amount is to be raised in
this third drive could not be as
certained.
Extensive preparations for adj
vertising and distributing the
bonds were nearing completion.
Numbers of striking new posters,
notably one by Howard Chandler
Christy, were being prepared.
Secretary McAdoo will give all
of his time to railroad work until
Feb. 1, when he will turn to direct
charge Of the next loan campaign.

Public Honor Must
Be Maintained

Il earnestly recommend that
these guarantees he given by ap-
propriate legislation and given as
promptly as circumstances permit.
II need not point out the es-
sential Justice of such guarantees
and their great influence and sig
nificance as elements in the pres
ent financial and industrial situa-
ton of the country. Indeed. one
Of the strong arguments for as
suming control of the railroads
at this time is the financial argu-
ment. 1t is necessary that the
values of railway securities should
be Justly and fairly protected and
that the large financial operations
every year necessary in connection
with the maintenance, operation
and development of the rathl
should, during the period of the
war, be wisely related to the fin
ancial operations of the govern
mnet.
Our first duty is, of course, to
conserve the common interest
and the common safety and to
make certain that nothing stands
in the way of the successful
prosecution of the great war for
liberty and justice, but it is also
an obligation of public conscience
and of public honor that the pri-
vate interests we disturb should
be kept safe from unjust injury
and 1t is of the utmost conse-
quence to the government itself
that all great financial operations
should be stabilized and co-ordi-
mated with the financial opera
lions of the government,

CHINESE BEEF
FOR ARMY USE

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. A.
One million pounds of Chinese
beef-the first large importation
of meat from China-was safely
stored away here today for army
use.
The beef came from the Philip
pines. 1t had been shipped there
from China to supply the Ameri-
can island forces, but 1t was found
that the island was overstocked.

Praise for Men Who
Strove UnSucceSSfullV

THE group of railway excel
tives who were charged with the
task of actual coordination and
general direction performed their
difficult duties with patriotic zeal
and marked ability as vas to have
been expected and did, l believe,
everything that it was possible for
them to do in the circumstances.
If l have taken the task out of
their hands it has not been be-
cause there were some things
which the government can do and
private management cannot. We
shall continue to value most high
ly the advice and assistance Of
these gentlemen and l am sure we
shall not find them Withholding
1t.
ut had become unmistak ably
plain that only under government
administration can the entire
equipment of the several systems
of transportation be fully and
unreservedly thrown into a com-
mon service without injurious dis
elimination against particular
properties. Only under govern
ment administration can an abso-
lutely unrestricted and unembar-
raised common use be made of all
tracks, terminals, terminal facili-
ties and equipment of every kind.
Only under that authority can
new terminals be constructed and
developed without regard to the
requirements of limitations of par
ticular roads. But under govern
ment administration all these
things will be possible-not in
stantly, but as fast as practical
difficulties, which cannot be mere
ly conjured away, give way before
the new management

Solidity of Financial
Structure Important

mo borrowing should run
athwart the borrowings of the
federal treasury and no funda-
mental industrial values should
anywhere be unnecessarily inn
paired. In the hands of many
thousands of small investors in
the country, as we'll as in ma
tional banks, in insurance COM
panies, in savings banks, in trust
companies, in financial agencies
of every kind, railway securities,
the sum total of which runs up
to some ten or eleven thousand
millions, constitute a vital part of
the structure of credit and the
unquestioned solidity of that
structure must be maintained.
"The secretary of war and
easily agreed that, in view of the
many complex interests which
must be safeguarded and harmon
lied, as well as because of his ex-
ceptional experience and ability
in this new field of governmental
action, the Hon. William G. Nc
Adoo was the right man to as
sumo direct administrative con-
troll of this new task. At our
request, he consented to assume
the authority and duties of or
ganizer and director general of
the new railway administration
He has assumed those duties and
his work is In active progress.
