A dispatch from Washington states
that the House of Representatives
passed legislation appropriating $10,-
OSS.99 for the relief of d. E. Gray,
postmaster at Greeley in 1911, when
the postoffice there was robbed of
that amount. The postmaster general
holds that Gray was in no way to
blame in the loss Of government funds.
The first shots in the counter at
tack at Chateau Thierry which recap
tured the position just won by the
Huns on the south bank of the Marne
and proved the turning point in the
entire war were fired by two Colorado
batteries-battery B, known rs Den
ver's Own." and battery A Of Fort
Collins.
The Colorado commission in its re-
cent meeting decided the controversy
between the choice of the upper and
lower routes in the proposed course
of the Fall River road over the divide
when an appropriation of $4,000 was
authorized for work on the upper
route.
OF the forty-six vacancies for the
1919 class in West Point the Colorado
National Guard will be allowed to fill
three. Governor Gunter was in
formed OF this privilege and the mat

RAILROAD BILL
|S SIC n Ed BY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday signed the bill
bringing the railroads under govern
ment control until twenty-one months
after the end of the war. President
Wilson's signature to the bill COM
pletes the plan for the greatest under
taking in government control of priv
ately owned public utilities the war
has brought to America.
Early in August, 1916, the war cloud
was growing ominous. so an act was
passed empowering the President,
through the secretary of war, to take
control of and utilize all systems of
transportation in a national emer-
gency. President Wilson employed
this authority on December Is, 1917,
taking possession of the lines and ap-
pointing Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo director general of railroads.
Engaged in a war requiring every
bit of national effort to insure sue
cess. tho President believed it was
imperative that the government direct
all operations so that adequate means
might be had to expedite troop move
ments, move war supplies, and care
for the generally abnormal strain on
the transportation system.
The flow of khali-clad men had to
proceed to the ports OF embarkation
without interruption. shells. cart.
ridges and rifles had to be moved
from munitions centers; foodstuffs
had to be transferred from the gran.
aries OF the West. and ample provision
had to be made for the output of the
mines. In addition to military needs.
the country had experienced during
the winter of 1917 the greatest break
down and congestion of the transpor-
tation system ever known.
At a stroke of the Presidents pen
the roads came under federal admin
istration. Property rights were not
purchased-the government merely ex-
ercised its authority to operate the
lines and provision was made for safe
guarding the proprietary interests of
investors.
At the request of the President
congress then set about to enact a
law to carry on the step taken as an
emergency measure under the law of
1916.
In substantial accord With President
Wilson's recommendation the law pro-
vided that the compensation, est
mated at $945,000,000 annually shall
be predicated on the average net earn
ings for the three-year period ending
June 80, 1917 The amounts viii be
ascertained by the interstate com
merce commission and certified to the
President who will negotiate with the
roads for their acceptance. Ordinary
taxes, such as national or state shall
be paid out of operating revenues, but
war taxes must be paid by the com
panies out of their own funds or
charged against the standard return.
In that way the roads will bear their
proportional share of the war burden
So that the properties may be returned
to their owners in as good condition
as when taken over, provision was
made for their maintenance and for
protection against unusual deteriora-
tion.
In the absence of a complete federal
valuation of railroads, the exact rate
of return to be made by the govern
mont cannot be stated accurately, but
it is estimated that the companies will
obtain an amount representing nearly
8 1-S per cent.

Our people at home should not
rest on the laurels of our soldiers in

Of honor in the line of duty and for
our country's cause should be a call

1917, 10 April, 1918, the United states
exported TO the allies SO,O00,O0C
