to speak ordinary, conversational

uniform are welcomed and there Is

Under the new railroad passenger
rates the fares OF suburban comnuta'
ton ticket users will be increased 10
per cent while the long distance day
coach traveller will pay from 20 to %
per cent more than now. 1t is the
sleeping-cAr patron who will be hit
hardest. AS figured out by the New
York World, be will pay for his pas
sage ticket 10 2.3 per cent above the
regular cent rate. II he wants sec
ton in a sleeping car he must present
one and half passage tickets; II a
drawing room, two passage tickets, and
the same for compartment, where one
and half tickets are now required;
and If be wants a drawing room IN
parlor car there must be five adult
passage tickets-the pullman rates re-
naming The same in all cases. Thus
the percentage increase here rises 70
almost AZ per cent and further accord
ing to accommodation. Altogether the
effect Of the new rates would seem to
be TO make a man stay at home, ana, in
view of the freight rate increase, live
off his war garden.

The Railroads.

II is evident that the federali2ing
Of the railroads, even as tempo
rary expedient, must involve radical
changes. The purposes and view
points of the Railroad Administration
differ extensively and fundamentally
from those that had become firmly
rooted in railroad directoratcs. The
readjustment brings up a great many
problems in the settling Of which the
will and temperaments Of individuals
clash. Objects that seemed impor-
tant and even paramount before the
war have 70 take minor place now.
The national interest and the success
Of the Allied cause stand as the
strongest compelling consideration,
and next to this is the establishing Of
the railroads on the permanently sol
i'd and safe footing they must reach
and retain if the public interest is TO
be well served. These are the ends
toward which all the Railroad Adj
ministration's endeavor should be
directed. If political influences or
considerations enter IN to shape ia
policies or divert its course from the
straight and true course the effect

Hanna,s Aztec Servant.

An introduction TO some Of the lead
ers will show that there are brains
as well as bullets behind the Zapata
movement. says the Christian Herald.
Gen. Alfredo Serratos was former
lawyer, who had made good record
as a soldier. 1t will surprise Ameri-
cans to learn that he was at one time
servant of Mark Hanna, the noted
politician of Ohio.
His history is romantic one. AS
homeless waif he was taken to the
United States by an American, who
promised to give him an education.
In Cleveland, O., the American died
and young Serratos was left stranded.
For three years he worked at tho
home of Senator Hanna, moving
lawns and caring for horses.
Later the young Mexican returned
to Mexico and studied law. He speaks
three languages fluently. In the con-
vention cabinet he was elected secre-
tary of war. These were some Of the
men who were Zapata's lieutenants
and advisers.

First Appendicitis Operation.

There was a time when append.
citis was quite a fashionable disease
In some parts Of Europe is was known
as the american disease" The first
operation for appendicitis was per-
formed at st. Luke's hospital, Denver,
Colo, in January, 1885. A young wom-
an residing in Davenport, Ia, had the
distinction of being the first person to
have the troublesome vermiform APP
pendix removed The operation, neces-
sarily, was in the nature of an ex-
pertinent, and the patient was so in
formed, but she plucklly declared her
willingness to submit to the knife as a
last resort. It was not until about two
years later that another operation of
this kind was performed. Since then
thousands Of such operations have
been performed in every hospital in
the world.

"The best idea | can give OF It,"
said an engineer, sis to liken it to
those paper windmills which spin on
the end of a stick and which are sold
to children in the streets. a turbine,
in fact. is like series of those re-
volving wheels fixed one behind the
other, only Instead Of being turned by
the wind 1t Is revolved by jets of
steam. The turbine wheels turn q
shaft inside a cylinder, in the in
terror of which are fixed number of
stationary blades which project into
the spaces between each wheel. The
purpose of these blades is to catch the
steam and direct it on to the wheels
at an angle where 1t will exert the
most force. AS the steam enters the
cylinder it is caught by the station
airy blades and detected on to the
blades Of the first wheel, which are
set turning. The steam then passes
to the next until all the wheels are set
whirling and the ship is driven through
the water"

American Prisoners in Germany.

Reports that the Germans are sub
jecting their American prisoners to
cruel and brutal treatment are com
ing in rapidly, and, as they coincide
in form and substance with the eX-
periences Of other nationals in like
case, there is no reason or excuse for
doubling their accuracy. 1t is easy
to believe that the lot Of the Ameri-
can prisoners would be an especially
hard one, not only because they are
the objects Of a peculiarly bitter ami
mostly, but because the men them
selves are more than likely to be not
ably indocile under humlating treat
ment.
AS the Germans we'll know, unfor-
tunately, they can do about what they
please to prisoners, with practically
no danger Of reprsals in kind, now or
even wen the Day Of Great Reckon
ing arrives. That is an advantage
they have over antagonists whose
temperament and culture are differ
ent from their own, and they have
utilized it constantly from the very
beginning Of the war, just as they
have the other advantage they pos
sess over civilized people in the fact
that not a few Of the actrocitics com
mitted by the German soldiers and
officers are Of kind that can hardly
be whispered among men and never
can be published in any book or paper
intended for general circulation.
Our hope is to negotiate an ex-
change Of prisoners as soon as posi-
bic and on almost any terms Ger
many may demand This our govern
ment is already doing through the
good Offices Of Holland as an interme-
diary One difficulty in the way Of
effcctinR an exchange, and perhaps
the greatest, is the old notion that the
private soldier has no "honor' to back
his oath, and that therefore his pa
role TO fight no more cannot be ac-
ceptei. And Germany has the best
