: A Teachers meeting was held in
the high school building, last Satur-
day. Instead of the usual study CEN
ter work it was devoted to explaining
patriotic movements. Miss Rucker, of
Cedar Falls, member of the State
Teachers college, gave talk on the
Junior Red Cross work, the II cessity
of this branch and how it was organ
lied. The children all over the land
were making such demand that
they be allowed in some way to do
their bit" The good from this work
is manifold; in teaching children pat
riotism, generosity and usefulness. 1t
has been deemed best for children in
the grades and rural schools to take
up the work in refugee garments, es-
pecially the baby layettes. She had
several garments with her and gave
out patterns. In the afternoon her
subject was food conservation. She
pointed out the grave conditions that
might arise if we needed not the
warnings of our government in time
Miss Pickering took up some of the
questions concerning the Junior Red
Cross work. Without doubt no
better or more patriotic talk has been
given in Elma than that given by Mr.
Howard. He told of the great good
accomplished by the American Red
Cross, and what it has done to alle-
viate the sufferings of the allied ma
lions. Every sentence bespoke his
sincere patriotism for the cause we
are now engaged in. At the close of
his remarks one felt like repeating
the words of Daniel Webster, 'Thank
God, I Am an American"

SHORT LINE RAIL !.
MEASURE VETOED
Wilson Refuses to Sanction
Extending Time for Giving
Up U. s. Control.

WASHINGTON. July 11.-President Will
ron vetoed to-day the resolution adopted
by Congress last week extending the
time in which the Railroad Administra-
ton might relinquish control Of lines
not wanted in the Federal system.
The veto had been expected because Of
a provision added to the bill forbidding
the REIMBURSEMENT OF any road where a
connecting or competing line was re-
talned. This was construed as mean
ing that the Government would have to
resume possession of a large number of
short lines relinouished q few hours be-
fore Congress passed the bill
The Presidents message follows:
81 regret to be obliged to return with
out my signature Senate joint resolution
1859.
II do so because I very respectfully
but very earnestly dissent from the
policy which It embodies. Under It's
terms the Government would be obliged
to assume the control and admintstra-
ton Of all short line railroads without
discrimination. l respectfully submit
that this Is not in the public interest.
There are terminal short lines at
many centres Of freight shipment. and
some 100 short lines which were built
and are controlled by manufacturing.
mining. numbering and other companies
and which are operated merely for the
convenience OF those companies, which
would be included under the language
of this resolution. very few OF which. II
seems to me. II any. ought to be taken
over and administered by the Govern
ment.
THE remaining ef ort roads are feed
ers to the main trunk lines, and more
than mere feeders most OF them, for
they have In most instances played q
very important part in building up the
Industries OF the communities through
which they run and have become essen
tial to the prosperity of hundreds OF
towns and neighborhoods all over the
Union. I quite agree that practically all
of these should be retained and that they
81 ould be not only retained but that
they should be accorded a fair division
of Joint rates--a fairer division than
some of them have been accorded hither-
to-and equitable allotment OF cars and
motive power and for routing arrange

Some of them constitute connecting
links between two or more trunk line
systems. Those who play this part In
tho system If railways should be ac-
corded full a share in through ship
ments as Is consistent with the general
interests of the shipper and the public.
This Is the policy which the Rail-
road Administration will pursue toward
these roads. They will not be put at ar
unfair or ruinous disadvantage.
The Government owes recognized

they serve. but IL is not in my judgment
wise to oblige the Government to dea

Name Aviation Field for Him.

Theodore Rousseau. former secretary
to Mayor Mitchell received yesterday
from Major-Gen. Leonard Wood letter
which contained the following reference
to Major Mitchels unsuccessful efforts
to get into the army before he received
an offer Of a commission in the aviation
branch OF the Signal Corps:
when the war came he was keenly
interested in securing service in the llne
Of the army through enlistment as
private with a view to entrance TO an
officers training camp. but his efforts
In this direction were unsuccessful. lie
was keenly interested in the Work OF the
air service. and appreciated Its great
value but he never lost the keener de-
sire to be an officer OF the line. and only
recently he wrote me. begging that this.
his real ambition. be not forgotten"
A movement was begun yesterday to
give Major Mitchels name to the new
CyinG field OF 400 acres where the Gov
eminent is training aviators near Min

field be named Mitchell Field.

former Mayor OF New York, was eulo-

Calder. who said IT know that 1t Is not

In the city Of New York to-day cere-

Of that city, who as a patriotic Ameri-
can and brave soldier has just laid
down his life for his country, prompts
me to say in this body that for man
OF his years no one has done more to
elevate the standard of municipal gov
eminent in America than did John Pur-
roy Mitchell
AS Assistant Corporation Counsel. as
Commissioner OF Accounts, as President
OF the Board OF Aldermen and then as
Mayor he shed lustre on every place he
filled.
He was defeated for reelection not
because he did not give the city the best
government that II ever had. but for the
reason that In his advocacy oI soine lo-
forms the people through misapprehen-
sion OF his intention did not fully con-
ceive his purpose. His record In the or
fee will be a model for future Mayors
to follow.
AT the expiration of his term as
Mayor he Immediately rendered his ser
