NJ ADOO RAILWAY PLAN
IS GAINING IN FAVOR
Five Year Control Plan Has
Strong And Growing Fol-
lowing In New York
a-YEAR PERIOD UNSAFE

Sentiment in favor of his proposal
that the government retain control of
the railroads of the United States for
five years is growing. particularly
among those who were at frs. opposed
TO the taking over OF the railroads dur
ing the war, according to William G.
McAdoo. Director-General of the Rail-
roads, when discussing the question
in New York on Saturday. The COM
prehensive improvements that will be
necessary in he readjustment of the
country to peace conditions could
hardly be brought about and put into
operation in the short period of two
years that others have advocated. he
said. He felt also that it would be
difficult to get the whole-hearted CO.
operation of the roads when they were
expecting to return to private owner
ship in so comparatively short time.
1.-The railroads have been operated
for the last year to serve efficiently
the paramount needs of the war and
at the same time furnish the best pos
sible service to the public. Whether
such operation tended to prove or dis
prove any theory of railroad control,
no matter what it might be, have
formed no opinion myself, because the
test has not been sufficient to prove
conclusively the right solution of the
problem" said Mr.. McAdoo. adding
that he was not now and had not been
for the year past interested in proving
or disproving the theory of govern
ment ownership. He declared, how
ever, that he believed five-year test
would give the people of the United
Stats the right answer to the problem.
Mr.. McAdoo pointed out that were
the government to proceed to make
the necessary terminal improvements
without first receiving the consent of
the roadside public rather than the
carriers themselves receiving first
consideration-it might happen that
the government would lose much of
its investment through lawsuits when
the roads were returned to private
ownership.

MALLARDS BEST FOR
WILD DUCK FARMS

Raising mallard ducks is an indus
try which should be developed as ex-
tensively as possible in order to sup
pIement the decreasing natural supply
of game. according to bulletin re-
Gently published by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The ease
with which the mallard can be bred
makes ii the best species for wild
duck farming, and its beauty, popu-
larity, hardness, adaptability and
fecundity fit il as no other duck is
fitted to be the game duck of the flu
ture
Only one-tenth of the food of mall
lard ducks is derived from the animal
kingdom and about nine-tenths from
the vegetable, according to the bulletin
which is report of study Of the
natural food habits of this valuable
game bird. The study was made to
assist those who are propagating mall
lards in semi-domesticated condi-
ton, to provide proper feed for them.
and to enable the improvement of
bodies of water and marshes as feed
ing grounds for wild ducks. 1t was
found that they feed mostly on the
sedges. water grass, smartweeds.
pondweeds. duckweeds. coontail. and
other semiaquatic plants. In the
stomach Of one mallard was found
102,400 seeds of primrose willow. They
also feed some on water beetles, bugs.
and dragonfiies.
The bulletin number 720, also dis
cusses the food habits of the dusky or
black duck and the southern black
duck which are closely related to the
mallard, though not as important.

Lieut.. Georges Flaschaire. French
airman, who reached this city late yes
terday afternoon, after flight from

and one-half years on the western
front, is in this country to give what
ever service or advice may be desired
in training American aviators for fight
ing.
Lieut. Flaschaire left Mineola Sun
day afternoon. Near Philadelphia slight
engine trouble developed, making il

scended on the big parade ground and
later 1unched with French and British
officers assigned to Camp Meade. After
luncheon he took the air again and
reached this city fifteen minutes later

tomac Park. The entire distance COW
cred was about 80 miles in a direct

| field and escorted him to the War De-
partment.
The flight was made in a small bat
| tie plane, equipped with French mo-
tors, capable of developing speed

Flights in which the French lieu
| tenant British airmen and American

| planned for the immediate future
Residents of Washington are prom
| ised the sight of machines such as are
| used by the three allies in the all
at the same time.
Further t6ssts of the new liberty
motor are to be made as soon as
| minor engine troubles are corrected
! it was stated today. The troubles are
mostly due to the newness and conse-
quent stiffness of the motor and q
, tuning up process that may require a
few days or only a few hours Will be
necessary to work this out and get the
| engines into proper adjustment
