Chicago, Feb. 20.-As a result of
ficials, captains of the iron and steel
industry are entertaining today high
hopes that their transportation diff
culties will be greatly reduced in the
immediate future. AS to actual i'm
provement the industry has much
more confidence in the calendar than
employed to stimulate traffic move
ment 1t is felt that the measures en-
ployed have been chiefly along the
line of preventing bad situation from
growing worse With mild weather
the railroads are expected to- recu-
perate, and an increase in pig iron and
steel production will follow immedi-
ately.
BY reason of the big increase that
has occurred in plate rolling capacity,
coupled with the smaller consumption
of plates by shipyards than had been
anticipated, the question whether
there will be an adequate supply Of
plates for shipbuilding has altogether
disappeared, the new question being
that of finding an outlet that can be
produced is transportation conditions
permit the mills to operate at capac-
ity. Hopes are entertained that under
government control of the railroads
the freight car shops will be given
full employment, as their raw mate
rial can readily be found.

NO ARMY IN HISTORY LIKE THE
AMERICAN ARMY

And now let ne be frank with You
and let your judgment be frank with
me about this. Has any army in his
tory, ever, since the beginning Of
time, been so raised and cared for as
this army has? Car the picture be
duplicated? We have raised this
aarmy, taking the egular army and
the national guard, raising il to war
strength and supplementing it by the
operation of a draft, and there are
senators in this room who said to me
with grief when we proposed that that
form of raising the soldiers he had,
they shook their heads and said: Mr.
Secretary. it cannot be done 1t is too
sudden to address to the American
people that mode of selecting sol
diers.'
"And yet, has any great enterprise
within the knowledge of any man in
this room ever been carried out with
more unfailing justice, with more in
telligent explanation and cOmmenda-
tion to the good sense of patriotism
of the American people, and has any
great revolutionary change in our
mode of practice ever been accepted
so splendidly as the operation of the
selective service system?
I'VE hive got these young men in
camp and they are surrounded from
the day they left home until the day
they come back to it, if in Gods prov
idence they can come back, with more
agencies for their protection and COM
fort and health and happiness, physl-
cal, spiritual and mental, than any
army that ever went out on field"

THE knights of Columbus, a young

from the camps and are preparing
to do their part, as is also the Young
Woman's Christian Association, which
has long been engaged in rendering
to young women a service similar to
that which the Y. M c. A has been
rendering to young men. All of these
organizations are worthy and their
united efforts, taken in connection
