100000: Negotiations for the construc-
ton of many thousand additional steel
freight cars are still pending. The five

standard forms of freight cars adopted
by the Railroad Administration.
The adoption of these standard types

for the numerous miscellaneous varie-

than a thousand different old styles

Many Instruments Needed in Equlppfng

ASKS CONGRESS TO |
ABANDON INQUIRY.
PRESIDENT. URGES DEFEAT OF
SENATE RESOLUTION FOR
WAR PROBE.
WRITES Letter TO MARTINI
Executive Declares Passage Of CHAM
beriain Measure Would Be q d.
rect Vote Of Lack of Confidence
In Administration.

Washington, May 16.-ln letter
to Senator T. S. Martin of Virginia.
democratic leader in the senate, Pres
ident Wilson declared he would re-
gard passage of the Chamberlain
resolution calling for an investigations
Of aircraft and other war activities
as direct vote of want Of conf
dence in the administration" and an
attempt by congress to take over
conduct of the war. !
Il deem it my duty to say" the
presidents letter said, that l should;
regard the passage of this resolutioni
as a direct vote of want of confidence
in the administration. The purpose,
which it undoubtedly expresses has
been expressed again and again in
various ferns during the present ses-
sion and has always seemed to orig
mate in a rooted distrust of the gov,
eminent.
Functions Clearly Defined.
"Those executive functions are
very clearly understood. They have
been defined both by the constitution
and by long experience and no one
can doubt where the responsibility
for them lies or what the methods
are by which those who are respons-:
ible can be held to their duty.
"Such activities on the part of a,
particular committee of the senate
as this resolution would look forward
to would constitute nothing less than
an attempt to take over the conduct
of the war, or at the least to super
intend and direct and participate in
the executive conduct of it as to in
terfere in the most serious way with
the action of the constituted execu-
tive.
Calls for Support.
II protest most earnestly against
the adoption of any such action and
shall hope that every senator who in
tends to support the present admin
istration in the conduct of the war
will vote against it. These are SER
ious times and it is absolutely neces-
sary that the lines should be clearly
drawn between friends and oppon-
ents."
1t was developed that the Presi-
dents attitude was due to the form in
which Senator G. E. Chamberlain of
Oregon, chairman of the senate MIL
itary committee, introduced the reso-
luton. The resolution authorized
and directed' the committee Ito in
quire into and report to the senate
the progress Of aircraft production ID
the United States or into any other
matters relating to the conduct of
the war by or through the war de-
partment"
The expenditures committee has
met to redraft the resolution. Sem
ator. Chamberlain and others of the
military committee have declared
there was no objection to limiting the
scope OF the resolution to army oper-
atoms, and have disclaimed any in
tention of planning any general in
quiry into "the conduct of the war;"

With the British Army in France,
May 16.-Hard fighting continued in

Details of the capture of the noun
tain by the Italians show that the
fighting, although carried out by small
groups, was very bloody.

where have the infantry operations

or, for that matter, in any Of he nu-
merous theaters of the war, risen in
importance above patrol engagements.
North of KENNEL, where the Ger
mans on Tuesday gained a footing on
Hill AZ, one of the bloodiest sectors on
the Western front, the lost vantage
points have been retrieved through
the persistent counter attacks of the
French, who succeeded in expelling
the enemy from the shell holes along
the slopes to which he had been ten
aciously holding. Not alone were the
Germans forced to recede, but the
French advanced their line and also
took prisoners.
Likewise, south of Males, in the
Amiens region, the French have taken
another bite into the German coun-
ter attack. launched in an endeavor
to recapture the lost ground. The
Germans in these maneuvers suffered
heavy casualties and also lost men
made prisoner.

MINNESOTA RECRUITING

Within the next few days President
Wilson will attach his signature to the
new draft bill, requiring all men who
have attained the age of 81 years since
June 5, 1917, to register for military
service. Registration Day has not been
fixed, as yet, but will more than likely
be on the same date as last year, June
S. This action will place over 1000, 900
additional men at the call Of the coun.
try, and is expected to furnish about
100000 Glass l men.
In view Of the foregoing facts, Major
John D. Yost, recruiting officer for the
Minnesota district, is urging all young
men who will be required, under the
law to register, to get into service at
once, while they still have an oppor-
tunity to select the branch of the ser.
vice they most desire. The minute a
man is registered under the Selective
Service Law he becomes ineligible fol
voluntary enlistment in the army, and
when called by his local board must GO
into the corps they select for him.

are in service look upon them as

Willard l.. Comstock of Mankato,
judge Of the Sixth congressional dis
trict, rather surprised the natives in
filing for the democratic nomination
for governor on the democratic ticket
in opposition to Fred Wheaton, the con-
ference choice. Mr.. Wheaton is no
doubt better known among the demo
Gratis of the state, having been brought
close to them through the fact that he
was state chairman Of the democratic
central committee, and managed a fine
campaign for President Wilson, the lat
ter coming within couple hundred
votes of carrying Minnesota. Both can
didates are highly spoken Of by their
friends, and Mr.. Wheaton in comment
ing on Mr.. Comstock entering the con-
test, spoke highly Of him. The con-
test will apparently be clean one, as
beftting a trial of strength that will
likely produce the next governor of
Minnesota.

THE RED CROSS DRIVE

Monday is the opening day Of the
Red Cross drive. The amount desired
to be obtained throughout the nation
is $1OO,00O,OO0. OF this amount Nor
rison county is called upon to subscribe
$4,000, the city of Little Falls quota
being fixed at $4,000. AS the first call
for $1O0,O00,000 was oversubscribed,
there can be no doubt as to the success
of the drive next week, as there can
hardly be person but who is not now
better informed Of the great work this
noble organization is doing for "the
boys' and the nation. With the flow
of troops over seas, the work Of the
Red Cross is being continually enlarged.
More are to receive the tender care
and ministrations of the soldiers of the
Red Cross, and more men and women
will be needed in the great work. It

tanned, and our people should with a
great measure of pride he able to point
