APPEALS TO THOSE
IN RAILWAY WORK
TO HELP WIN WAR

An appeal to all railway employees
to work to the utmost Of their abilities
to keep trains moving on schedule
time and to keep railway operations
at a high state OF efficiency. has been
issued by W. G. McAdoo. director gen.
eral Of railroads under United States
control, and copies OF the appeal were
posted today in the Silvis shops and
storehouse of the Rock Island. and In
the yards and roundhouses. The ap-
peal. copies Of which arrived today,
is the first direct communication to
railway employees to come from the
government since the roads went un-
der government control. In It Mr..
McAdoo calls attention to the fact
that railroad employees are now prac-
tically in the service Of the United
States and, their work is just as es-
sential to the success Of the United
States in the war as is the effort OF
men fighting in the trenches.
Following is Mr.. McAdoo's appeal:
1.-THE government of the United
States having assumed possession and
! control OF the railroads for the period
of the present war with Germany it
; becomes more than ever obligatory
upon every officer and employee of
railroads t. apply himself without re-
serve energy and unquestioned loyalty
to his Work.
"The supreme interests of the ma
ton have compelled the drafting of a
great army of our best young men and
sending them to the bloody fields of
France to fight for the lives and lib
erty Of those who stay at home. The
sacrifices we are exacting of these
noble American boys call to us who
stay at home with an irresistible ap-
peal to support them, with our most
unselfish labor and effort in the work
we are to do at home if om armies
are to save America from the serious
! dangers that confront her. Upon the
railroads rests a great responsibility
, for the success of the war. The rail-
roads can not be efficiently operated
without the whole-hearted and loyal
support Of every one tn the service
from the highest to the lowest.
Il earnestly appeal to you to apply
| your WIFI uCW u6SOtIOu anu Gu
ergy to your work to keep trains NOV
ing on schedule time and to meet the
demands upon the transportation
/ lines so that all soldiers and sailors
may want for nothing which will en-
able them to fight the enemy to a
standstill and win a glorious victory
| for united America.
Every railroad officer and employe
is now in effect in the service Of thu
United States and every officer ani
employe is just as important factol
in winning the war as the men in uni
form who are fighting in the trenches
II am giving careful consideration
to the problems of railroad employs
and every effort will be made to dea
with these problems justly and fair
~ and at the earliest possible mo
ment. There should be new incent
i've to every one in railroad servic
while under government direction t.
acquit himself with honor and credit t
himself and to the country"

Banquets Called Unpatr4otic.


Besides the general orders which are
made to be obeyed the food administra-
ton in a statement issued by the food
board believes that elaborate luncheons
and banquets are "unpatriotic" and
should not be served. If there must be
4 banquet or a luncheon. the board says.
and it admits that such gatherings may
be a necessity Of our social life. il sug-
gests that simple meal. such as would
be eaten at home be served.
The food administration also believes
that an effective saving in labor can be
brought about by discontinuing the
superiuous use of china. linen and sill
yer. It says that wherever possible food
should be served in the plate or dish
from which it is to be eaten" 1t con-
siders the side dish" a superiority and
says service plates should be eliminated.
The administration also believes that
so-called general bills of fare should be
abandoned because they Constitute
luxury" IL suggests the arrangement
of Il simple bill of fare. one for break
fast one for luncheon and one for din
ner or supper. with a limited number Of

So Monthly Up Rents Beautiful UPRIGHT Piano
War Heroes Kin Prey
Of Insurance Ghouls

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Decep.
ton and fraud have been practised on
the beneficaries of American soldiers
killed in the war with Germany, Rep
resentative Fields, of Kentucky, a
member of the House Military Com
mittee, said to-day after he had intro
duced bill designed to put an end to
the alleged practices. The measure
limits the fee of agents or attorneys to
s25, and imposes heavy penalties on
persons collecting more.
"Claim agencies already are organ
ling throughout the country" said
Representative Fields, "and as fast as
casualty lists are published these agen-
cies or their representatives hurry to
benefciaries with the statement that
it is extremely difficult to collect the
soldiers insurance without aid of
special counsel.
"By such methods they brighten the
beneficiary into employing them at an
extortionate figure. Some claims are
being purchased at mere pittance
through the same methods.
Service OF a special agent or attor-
ney is not necessary in collecting war
risk insurance, except in some unusual
case, where the claimant may encounter
difficulty in establishing his identity.
A law should be enacted to inflict upon
deceivers the punishment they de-

Will Train $4,000 Men
For American Ships
Bureau to Turn Out Fifty Stu
dents Daily After
April l

On April 1 the Sea Training Bureau
of the United States Shipping Board
will begin turning out fifty young men
day equipped for service aboard the
ships of the new American mercantile
marine. They will be oilers. water ten
ders, cooks and stewards. and by the
time the programme is completed there
viii be $4,000 native Americans avail
able for manning the ships that will
fly the American flag in all parts or the
world during the war and after.
The boys are being recruited in all
parts of the country. The recruiting
agents are just now particularly busy
in Kansas and other states of the Mid
die West. The recruits are exempt
from the draft the moment they sign
articles for the duration of the war
aboard ships of the United States mer-
chant marine, and after two years they
are to be eligible to enter the Shipping
Board schools Of navigation, in thirty
of which men are now qualifying as
officers.
By the time that the new American
mercantile fleet is fully developed it is
predicted that the crews will be wholly
American.
There are two training ships now in
service, the Calvin Austin and the Gov
ernor Dingley. Soon two more ships,
the former transport Meade and the
United States gunboat Princeton, will
be turned over to the board as school

Capital Hears That
Profteers Controlled
u. S. Air Programme

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Sugges-
tions were heard here tonight that q
report to President Wilson on airplane
production by Gutzon Borglum, the
sculptor, may contain some limitations
that a profiteering ring controlled the
air programme to its own advantage
The report is said to refer also to al
legged serious plumbers and delays.
This report deals with the progress
of the programme up to about the first
of the year, and promises to play an
important part in the special inquiry
already begun by the board, headed by
Snowden Marshall of New York. 1t
has been matter of remark for many
months among officials here that
Borglum was said to carry letters from
President Wilson.
Officials involved said tonight they
would welcome publication of the
Borglum report, and were certain 1t
would disclose no abuses.
1t was again asserted to-day by
those closely connected with the air
lane problem that the schedule laid
before the Inter-Allied Council last
December. and described as the only
thing in the nature of a promise ever
made on the subject officially, would be
substantially lived up to. General
Pershing will not lack for adequate air
fleets for his troops by July, officials
reiterated tonight, and up to that time
protection of his air zones rests by
agreement, it is understood, with the
Allies.
