Portland, Me-, March 2S.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt made his first public
appearance here today, following his
recent ilness.\
Colonel Roosevelt devoted his
speech entirely to patriotism, urging
the sweeping away of partisan lines
while this Country is involved in the
great world-war. He spoke i'll part
as follows:
This country is now involved in the
greatest war OF all time. In common
with the rest of the world it is pass
ing through one of those tremendous
crises which lie centuries apart in
world history. Under such conditions
the question of partlsanship sinks into
utter insignihcance compared with the
great question of patriotism, compared
with the duty of all of us to act with
stern and whole-hearted loyalty to this
mighty republic, and to- serve the in
terests of the republic and the ideals
which make the republic the hope of
the future of mankind. come be-

$3,000,000,000 loan total, or 100000,

second loan. The Chicago district is
allotted IA l-6 per cent, or $425,000,

RAIL CONTROL BY
j. s. SHOWS LOSS
FOR FIRST MONTH
Railroad Men Attribute to Un.
precedented Bad Weather and
Freight Embargoes, Which
Reduced Hauling Traffic.
(By Associated Press

Washington, March 28.-For the
first time in many years railroads
operated at loss in January, the first
month of government control.
The situation is attributed by rail-
road men almost entirely to the un-
precedented bad weather and freight
embargoes which reduced the hauling
of general traffic to a minimum and
increased expenses far beyond nor
NAL.
The deficit was suffered only by
eastern lines, while western and
southern roads made small profits.
For February the record was much
better, though exact figures are not
available and the railroad administra-
ton hopes to make higher earnings
of later mouths offset the poor Janu-
ary showing. Otherwise the govern
ment will lose money in compensating
railroads on the basis of their average
earnings for the last three years.
Loss Over Two Million.
Preliminary reports from l72 OF the
1876 large roads compiled by the In
terstate Commerce commission and
made public today show a January
deficit in railway operating income OF
$2,227, 900 as compared with positive
earnings of $67 100000 in January last
year and about $57,000,000 in Decem-
ber-a low record for that month.
Operating revenues were S270,23l,. ).
600 and operating expenses $257,868
600. The $l2,363000 difference be.
tween these items, or the net revenue
was more than swallowed up by or.
dinary taxes of $14,551,000. These
taxes did not include new war levies
which probably would amount to
more than $10,000000, and which the
roads must pay out OF the government
compensation payments.
The eastern roads deficit on the
operating income was $l7,640,000
compared with net operating earnings
of 24,325, 900 inJanuary, 1917. For the
western lines this was $l1,00000e, a:
compared with $30Q00000 the same
month last year and southern lines
made $3,6l7000, as compared with
$l2,6l2,000 the same month last year

DRIVE TOWARD MoNTDIDIER.
"The battle was fought with sus-
tanned violence yesterday evening and
last night" says the French official
statement. "The Germans. blocked by
the valiant French troops, and cruel
ly punished before the Lassigney and
Noyon fronts and the left bank of the
River Oise, concentrated all their ef-
forts on the French left, and threw
forward important forces in the re-
gion of Montdidier.
"At this point the engagements
soUn developed an unheard of feroc-
ity French regiments, fighting hand
to hand, inflicted heavy losses upon
their assailants, and did not falter.
Finally, they withdrew in order to the
heights Immediately to the west of

GERMAN GAINS SLIGHT.
In the last "a hours the Germans
have made but one comparatively
trihing gain as the result of numerous
massed attacks along the whole front,
says Reuters correspondent at British
headquarters.
For the British there may be
claimed several distinct local sue.
cesses, either in completely repelling
enemy blows or in wrestling back
ground won by counter attacks.
Although the Germans continue to
use theirrinfantry with ruthless prodi.
gality, the general pressure along the
front is for the moment less deter
mined. This may be attributed in
part to the enemy waiting to bring up
heavy artillery preparatory to another
great effort, and in part to exhaustion.
