St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1918-06-08

Last week The Clarion carried in it's title page the announce
ment that director general of the railroads now under government
control had in consideration the granting of a one-cent. per mile
travelling rate for soldiers, sailors and marines The current issue
of The Fleet Review, a copy of which has reached us, contains an
editorial utterance on the same subject matter.
It seems highly probable that this low rate will be granted all
men in the service when they are travelling at their own expense and
tt is a move on the part of the government which will meet with the
hearty approval of every patriotic American. The low rate should
have been granted long ago but even at this time it will fill a long
felt requirement of those men who are receiving comparatively
small pay and when they get a leave and come home for a visit to
relatives it costs perhaps two months pay to meet expenseof travel.
The new rule, when established, will permit these men to go home
for onethird Of the former cost Of railroad travel and surely every
one will say that t. a step in the right direction.
The editorial in ssThe Fleet Review says that in Italy a one
fourth passenger rate has been granted all men serving IN the Ital-
ian army and when several Americans visited that country on bust
ness connected with the war they were allowed to travel at the
same low rate granted the Italian soldiers and sailors. This was
granted in consideration ofthe fact that America was an ally of the
Italian government. What Italy has done for its soldiers surely
America can do for its fighting men and it is the earnest hope of all
that the lower rate will be established at once, even though passen-
ger rates for the civilian population be increased, as now seems
highly probable.

German submarines sinking shipping on the American coast
has not scared the people over here a little bit but, on the contrary,
has caused them to more grimly determine that the kaiser and his
horde of murderers must be forever put down. American destroy
ers will account for the assassins of the sea who have crossed to this
side, just as our brave Jack Tars and swift destroyers sunk many
of the U-boats in European waters.

The recent Red Cross Second War Fund drive proved a ire
mendous success, the total amount raised far surprising the hundred
million mark set by the society. All of which goes to prove that
the American people are determined to not only layishly expend
their wealth in order to raise. and equip a n army but that they are
equally determined that our boys will be looked after should they
fall victim to Hun bullets.

It is reported that laborers in the wheat harvest, now almost
about to begin, will be paid handsome wages, one report having it
that seven dollars a day and board will be the starter. If this be
so, there can be no cause for complaint for that wage is higher than
the rule and makes the two and a half a day fade into inignificance.

The striking developments connected
with the readjustment OF American In
dustry 10 a peace basis and the gradual
abandonment OF the ~restric-
lions of the war period give exceptional
Interest to the outlook for the January
markets. During tho seven weeks that
have elapsed since the signing OF the
srmistice. the leading countries have
been seeking to restore the normal order
Of things In business. trade and finance.
The process has been difficult, but the
readjustment is being carried steadily
forward in the effort to enable the world
to resume normal pursuits with as little
delay as possible.
None OF the belllgerent countries
probably has made greater progress In
this readjustment than has the United
States. 1t has been possible for us TO
dispense with most OF our emergency
measures and to free many OF our in
dustries from the restrictions that were
in force during the war. No change
OF this character mas been more sug-
gestive than the announcement last
week that the Capital Issues Committee
would suspend its activities tomorrow.
This is a change OF great Importance
and means that the Government no
longer will seek to control the issue of
corporation securities and that railroads
md industrial companies will be free
to appeal TO the markets for new capital
without first seeking the approval of
the committee. Ths-removal of those
restrictions was not looked for, pending
the fotation In the spring OF the Fifth
Liberty Loan. The fact that the Treas
ury determined to free the January
markets from all restrictions shows that
Government officials believe the situa-
ton to be thoroughly sound and that
he security market can take care of
itself. The committee will remain In
active and not resume supervision OF
security issues unless the markets shall
become congested n the success OF
the new Government loan imperilled.

rriou corporations In distributing their
dividends in the form Of Liberty bonds
has been effective In increasing the sell
ing pressure in that market. The out
look for the bonds Is highly interesting,
and although there has been ~disappoint-
ment at price receSs!onS, the fact that
The bonds can be converted instantly
