BONDS PLACED FOR THE
CEDAR BRANCH ROAD
This Information Contained in Wire
From Sec'y Mcclellan, Who Asks
Commercial Club for Terminal

President M. j. Macfarlane of the
Commercial club received a telegram
the first of this week stating that ar
rangements had been made for the
placing of the bonds for the construc-
ton of the Cedar City branch railroad
by the Utah Development company, of
which Walter X. Yorston is engineer
and active manager, with Chicago par
ties and asking for pledge by wire
that Cedar City would furnish free
right of way over private property
crossed by the road, and free termi-
nal grounds. DR.. Macfarlane was out
of town when the wire came, but on
his return and after consulting with
a few leading citizens wired that Ce-
dar City would furnish right of way
and terminal grounds for the first rail
road to build to Cedar City.
Pres. Macfarlane feels sanguine
that the men behind the proposition
mean business, and that the road we
have been waiting and longing for so
long will be built this time.

JUST RETRIBUTION

Two planes from that station lad
sighted a submarine on the sureuce
the preceding day. While they ma
neuvered to get between it and the
sun to permit of accurate sighting #
their bombs, it submerged-a little
late, however, for swooping low, the
planes dropped all four of their bombs
scoring two hits. Like wounded
whale coming up from deep sound
ings with the harpoon still bedding in
its vitals, that U-boat reappeared, its
stern and coming tower under water,
bows, however, pointing up at an an
gle of forty-five degrees. Evidently
the imprisoned crew were making
desperate efforts to right it. for the
blind steel head raised and lowered
and raised again from frothing
whirlpool churned up by the screws.
Another bomb would have made a
quick end, and while one plane flew
swiftly away to fetch more, the other
lowered above the great steel Great
ure's death agony. 1t sank, but rose
again-this time belly up like dying
fish, its port side exposed throughout
its length But in the terse language
of the report: an all that time the
coming tower failed to rise above the
water"
1t would be easy to dilate upon the
mental agony Of the crew desperately
battling for dear life amidst the acid
fumes of capsized battery tanks--but
of what profit? Sufficient that after
a last furry, she rolled over and went
down carrying with her to the bottom
a full complement of four officers and
forty men, A couple of weeks before,

in green churchyard in Ireland. Our
consul there had shown me a picture
of one great grave with its rows of
tiny collins, and if had felt disposed
toward pity, the memory of damn

have stified the last conjunction. The
boche was reaping as he had sown.-

Y. M. c. A. HAS BIG NEED
FOR MEN AND CASH

In the next Y. NJ. C. A. drive, the
eight states of the west will raise 5
per cent, or $5,600,000 of the Sl12.-
100000 which is the minimum amount
set by the National War Work Coun-
Gil of the Y. NJ. c. A. as necessary to
meet the needs of the American sold
Ter and his allies at home and abroad.
and also finance the Y. M. c \. in it's
work of erecting hostess houses for
the use of soldiers and women war
workers.
Fully as important as The financial
drive is the statement that 1000 men
and women are needed 20 carry on
Y. M. c. A. war work among the
troops of the American, FEench and
Italian armies overseas before Sep
TENDER 1st and that 5000 additional
men and women will be required by
spring.
Never has there been sucl call
for men to serve the soldiers in the
history of the world. DR.. John r.
Mott, head of the international Y. NJ.
c. A., and George w. Perkins. Of
New York, treasurer of the National
War Work Council of the Y. vi. c. A.,
brought this message to the Pacific
Coast.
Only men over draft age of good
moral character, will be considered
for this service 1t entail; danger,
privation and temptation and requires
stamina and judgment. Already 800
American huts and dugouts IRE under
shell fire, eight Y. M. C. A. men have
been killed since the present offensive
opened on the western front, and 9TH
er secretaries have been gassed. Y.
M. c. A. huts are constantly subjected
to German shell fire. 1t is no job for
a man who does not possess courage
or is not ready to make the supreme
sacrifice in order to serve the soldier
and help win the war. 1t is the great
est service the man over draft age
can render in this world conflict.

What to Do Next.

Thousands of undernourished child
rem are being found in the national
weighing and measuring test which
now includes more than five million
children. The problem which con-
fronts the committee which is con-
Quoting the test as part of their war
service is what TODD with these under
nourished children so that they can
grow up to be strong, healthy citizens.
Mothers must do the saving" has
been one o fthe Children's Year slo-
gans. But they cannot do it alone.
They must have the help of a COM
munity organized to see that every
mother has the care she needs before
her child is born and at confinement,
so that the baby may have fair
start in life. They need child con-
sultation centers, prepared to give the
mothers the most expert advice as to
the care of the baby and especially as
to methods of feeding. Feeding used
to be considered as natural as breath
ing, but many of the ills of adult life
now are traceable to poorly chosen
food in childhood.
The Children's bureau of the u. S.
Department of Labor believes that
there is one sort Of worker who above
any other is qualified to save the
lives of babies, and that is the public
health nurse. The Bureau urges that
each community which has no such
worker made an effort to secure one
as its part in the campaign to save
children. And communities which
have the protection of the public health
nurse now, should the Bureau declares
take stock of themselves, and see
whether it is reasonable to expect that
every baby can receive the attention
it needs with the staff of nurses they
have made available. The leafet on
follow-up work for the weighing and
measuring test should be in the hands
of every worker who wants to know
what sort of methods are most effect
i've in saving children's lives.

VOICES OF THE POCKET.

Pockets used to jingle
When | went to walk;
Heard the coins commingle,
Listened to them talk.
Spoke the Lincoln penny:
"Did | vainly live?
Surely |, if any,
Should be saved to give.
From the nickle loudly
Spoke the Indian:
GIVE" he told me proudly,
"Me-American!"
Those on whom were craven
Silver Liberty
Told me; "You are craven
We should bullets be-"
Pockets no more jingle,
Have no more to say;
Stamps and bonds commingle
In their depths today"

REDUCE
FREIGHT RATES
Secretary Red6eld Appeals
to Chairman Hurley to Cut
Trans-Paci6c Charges.

Faced by the loss of American
trade with the Orient to other, ma
tions through the operation of high
trans-Pacific Ocean freight rates
Secretary of Commerce Redfield has
appealed to Chairman Hurley. OF the
United States Shipping Board, to
order a radical reduction in those
rates.
1t was learned yesterday that
after receiving little encouragement
from the operating division of the
Shipping Board here Mr.. Redfield
has put the case up to Mr.. Hurley.
Rates across the Pacific are said
to be four to five times higher in
American vessels than those from
Liverpool. Mr.. Redfeld learns that
this situation Is resulting in Eu-
ropeans fast gaining control of the
Oriental trade.
Not only are American exporters
suffering. it is pointed out, but
American ships are lacking cargoes
for Oriental portx
The Shipping Board is vested with
control over rates and Mr.. Redfield
has been unsuccessful in inducing
prcciate the situation as he sees 1T
and order a reduction Consequent
ly the appeal to the chairman in
Europe.
A conference between the Secre-
tary and John Rossiter, director OF
operations of the Shipping Board,
today did not result in a solution
of the difficulty.

JOHNSON ATTACKS SHELVING
OF CENTER MARKETMEASURE
Bill Which Promised to Redtce lost of Living
in the District "Chloropr3ed" by
Senate Committed

Aroused and somewhat angereo
over reports that his bill provioins
for the taking over Of Center~Marke'
by the government had been khieo
in the senate District Committee, 10
which il was referred after passing
the House unanimously. Representa-
tive Ben johnson, of Kentucky VINO
championed the measure In ,ne
House as. a means Of reducing the
cost Of living in the District, pre-
pared yesterday for a vigorous attack
on the opposition when Congress re-
convenes on Thursday.
In view of the fact that Commls-
sioner w. Gwynn Gardeners plan for
the establishment of terminal mar
ket in washington cannot be put into
effect unless the Center Market is
taken over by the government, II is
believed that local public sentiment
which is at white heat over grossly
excessive charges and prices for food
stuffs will eventually fierce the pas
sage of the measure.
Representative Johnson. who is
chairman Of the District House Com
mittee, declared yesterday there are
two methods of disposing of bills not
satisfactory to the financial interests
of the District and that ave helpful
to the poor people-one is to John
Walter them, the other is to 'Pome-
rene them IL 1t is to be blown to
smithereens II is sPomerened'; IL II
is TO be chloroformed or put to sleep,
IL is John waltered.'"

John Waltered."
Congress in 1870 leased to the Wash
ington Market Company for ninety
nine years the site of the Center Mar
ket at annual rental fixed by the char
ter at 5000 year. Later the Wash
ington Market Company, as a result
of some legislative legerdermain. has
not only escaped payment of 20 per
centum of the rental fixed by Con-
gress," according to Representative
Johnson, in submitting the report from
the Committee of the District OF Co

Why, Louis!

A funeral procession was winding its
way up Benning road.
In the middle of it was Louis Gas
kins, driving one of the carriages.
Instead of keeping in line with the
procession Louis was driving his
horses in a circle.
The other drivers were getting hot
in the collar, not only because Louis
was tying up traffic. but because of
his lack of respect for the occasion.
Policeman Vanderscheff noticed
Louis, and hastened up to see what
was the matter.
"Whaddye tryin' to do?" asked the
cop.
Hush" said Louis: those horses
think they are on a merry go-round." :"

other driver finished the trip

Oscar Learns n Lesson.

Oscar Johnson hasn't been keeping
up with the times.
He didn't know that everything had
gone up in price. Nor did he realize
that he would either have to pay an
increased price for everything he
wanted or do without it.
Last Saturday he wanted a pack
age of cigarettes. He found they cost
2 cents more than they used to.
He got riled. He called the dealer
profteer and lots of other unkind
names.
IF you don't want them ciga-
rettes," the dealer told Oscar, get
out and let someone else have them.
Oscar started OUTPUT he went
through the window breaking the
SASH.
..S'matter." shouted the dealer.
cant you find the door,"
Amt got time shouted Oscar.
See you in church"
He saw the dealer in court instead.
That was because a policeman
heard the glass smash and thought
Oscar had cut his head. But he had
not. Oscars head isn't as delicate as
all that.
"You will have to stop that kind OF
business" the court told oscar as 1t
fined him $50, enough to buy wagon
load of cigarettes.

Senator King yesterday paved the
way for the discussion of Mexico $
financial muddle upon the floor or
Congress. He introduced two resolu-
tions which upon their face have no
Connection, but which, taken together
support the opinion current in Wash
ington for the past month that the
United states soon will move to aid
in solving the problem of stablizing
Mexican affairs.
Senator Kings first resolution
called upon the Secretary of State to
report whether millions of dollars of
American claims against Mexico have
been presented to the Mexican gov
ernment and. if not, when they VIII
be presented. The second resolution
calls for the erection of a standing
army of 10000 men.
Prominent government officials, who

Mexico. 1t is said that prominent
Mexican officials have agreed to the
