NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF OWNERS
 OF RAILROAD SECURITIES FORMED

properties during the period men toned
 Upon the final terms of this con- tract depends the condition of credit generally, as pointed out by President Wilson in his address to Congress giving reasons for Governmental op- eration of the railroads. The Pres ident then said:
 One of the strong arguments for assuming control of the railroads at this time is the financial argument. It is necessary that the value of rail- road securities should be justly and fairly protected. In the hands of small investors in the country, as we'll as in national banks, in insurance companies, in savings banks, in trust companies, in financial agencies of every kind, railroad securities, the sum total of which runs up to some ten or eleven thousand millions, con- stitute a vital part of the structure of credit, and the unprecedented val idity of that structure must be main tained.'
 '"To afford the opportunity for an expression of opinion on questions | which will necessarily arise affecting not only actual owners of railroad se- curities, but also having relations to the conditions necessary to maintain the validity of the structure of credit, this Committee has been composed of representatives of various channels for the investment of the funds of the people; savings banks, life insurance lcompanies, investment bankers, large estates and financial institutions. Sev- eral members of the Committee also serve on boards of directors of rail- roads, and are familiar with the gen. eral reailroad condition and credit, but none are operative railroad exc cutives.
 'sThis committee desires to coop
 crate with the Government in the framing of the provisions of this con-
 tract to be helpful especially in the directions named by President Will son.
 'It is the desire of this Committee to also cooperate with any agency which is aiming to produce a contract
 satisfactory to the various interests Involved"

MAYOR WILSON TO
 PRESIDE AT BIG RALLY AT ARMORY

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson has ac- cepted the invitation of the War Bu- reau, and will preside at the monster Daniels rally at the armory next Monday night introducing the Secre- tary of the Navy to the audience.
 Mayor Wilson has entered into the spirit of cooperation and non-par- tisanship whole-heartedly and may be expected to introduce the Secretary of the Navy in his usual pleasing and forceful style.
 Plans for the armory meeting are progressing rapidly and a big crowd is predicted for that night.
 Middies from the Naval Station, un- der the command of Lieut.. Command CT Leonard H. Dyer, will act as a special guard of honor to Secretary Daniels, accompanying him to the armory after he has finished his ad- dress at the Stratfield hotel during the supper hour where he dimes with the Red Cross workers.
 Walter B. Lashar, chairman of the local Red Cross chapter, will act as temporary chairman at the armory meeting introducing Mayor Wilson.

WHO FIGHTS AT HOME? SAY |!
icy ROLAND C. USHER, of the Wig
iIantes.)


We cannot fight war and still do
business as usual. This means you
and not other people. You might as
well come to it first as last. The war
is unusual and we shall have to have
unusual business to deal with it.
The gist of it is this: The nation
has just so many hands and just so
much energy-just so much raw mate
ri;;l and labor. There are only "a
hours in the day and 1865 days in the
year. We can make only so many
things in Il given time with given
supply of time and material. If we
make some things we cannet make
others. If we put sugar into candy to
stuff idle women we cannot have jam
to feed the soldiers. If we make au-
tos for pleasure only, we cannot use
that material, labor and energy for
tanks and airplanes. If we burn the
gasoline on Sundays the boys In
France cannot use it in battle.
The whole truth is that we must
stop business as usual. And-this Is
where you come in-you must stop
spending as usual. Do it now. Put
your money into gunpowder and not
face powder; into tanks and not limOu-
sines; into food for the trenches in
stead of spending it in hotels and res
taurants. But you cannot buy directly
for the army. The government must
do 1t. Give the government the money
and BUY A LIBERTY BOND.

Democracy and Liberty Under
: going the Supreme Test.
Americans Face Great Duties In Pro.
viding Food Products and Aiding
Our Soldiers and Our Allies
in War.
(By HAPsBURG LIEBE Of the vigi.
Iantes.l

Democracy and Liberty are not al
ways synonymous, perhaps, but they
mean the same to us now, certainly.
A military autocracy, after more than
forty years of thorough and cunning
preparation, a great part of 1t by means
of weapons of our own invention, has
thrust our Democracy and our Liberty
into the crucible to test it out, to see
whether it would hold good. They did
not believe it would hold good, those
Prussian mi!itarlsts; they do not be-
iieve it yet. We believe it will, but our
belief has been made up heretofore
largely of egotism and blindness.
Democracy and Liberty, the worlds
with our own, is now undergoing the
supreme test. OF course there is dross,
and it is coming to the top rapidly.
There is inefficiency, mismanagement,
grave mistakes that even our national
leaders have made; there has been
some graft, no doubt; there has been
some playing of politics; there has
been profiteering, but all this is only
the droSs floating to the top of the
crucible. We were never a military
nation, you know. The biggest of our
mistakes, think, was in our shipbuild-
ing program, but we were never a ship
building nation, either. However, this
dross is all being cleared away.
Fully 60 per cent of the winning of
this war depends upon us here at home.
We have three great duties upon us
now as we never had them upon us
befOre-those of us who can grow food
products must grow more than ever;
we must all aid in the saving of foods,
and especially wheat, meats, and
sugar; and all of us who can, though
it may necessitate some sacrifice, must
buy these new Liberty bonds. Proper
ly carried through, these three great
duties will prove the overwhelming
power in the winning of the war, be-
yond doubt. The growing of great
crops and the conservation of food,
and the buying of Liberty bonds, quick
~ mean enough food for our soldiers
and our allies, and enough ships to
carry it. If We fail in this the die of
destiny is quite likely to fall with it's
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. upward for us if
we do not fail, then Democracy and
Liberty will come out of the crucible
covered with glory. The result is
inevitable.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
RESPECT RED CROSS
Do Not Intend to RetaIiate With
Acts of Barbarity Shown
by Huns.

Our soldiers are respecting the Red
Cross when worn by Germans, even II
the Germans have fired upon American
Red Cross stretcher bearers and ambu-
lance drivers, as the following dispatch
shows:
"Some American soldiers IN lis
tening post northwest Of Toul early
this morning discovered an enemy pa
troll fixing their own wire. and prompt
" opened fire. The Germans retreat
ed hastily, leaving two OF their num-
Der hanging on the barbs.
Several hours after daylight party
of five Germans. two infantrynen and
three Red Cross workers, emerged
from the enemy lines and started for
their comrades entangled in the wires.
The Americans saw the Red Cross
brassards and did not open fire on the
party. which removed the bodies"
Proof is indisputable that the Ger
mans have bombed hospitals plainly
marked with the Red Cross, have sunk
hospital ships equally plainly marked,
have fred upon American Red Cross
workers on the battlefield. and 9th
erwise have ignored the emblem that
every civilized nation respects.
That our American boys do not in.
tend to retaliate with this kind OF
barbarity is proved in the foregoing
dispatch. and German mothers who
have sons wounded will doubtless see
the difference between "kuItur" a.
practiced by their own leaders and
"cultnre" MS practiced by the Ameri.
can and allied soldiers.
