SOLDIER GIVES |. SALVATION ARMY
 FROM LEAN ROLL
"We All Know What They Did For Us," He Says,
 and Puts in $5.

Returning soldiers are helping the Salvation Army to raise the S, 900 to $4,000 which it hopes to get in this city between now and Christmas for its Christmas dinner for the poor and Its winter relief work. One soldier who happened to stand near the ket- ties at the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue yesterday encour- aged passerSby to contribute literally to the Salvation Army fund by peel ing from his scanty roll a $5 bill which he deposited in one of the ket- ties. "All the boys who have been over there know what the Salvation Army did for them" he said simply.
 The factories of the city are warm ing up to proposition of collecting money for the Salvation Armys Christmas dinner and many of them have turned in liberal donations. In all the factories where collections were also taken up last year, the amounts collected this year are near Iy double, if rot triple, what they were last year. Collection envelopes Tor the factories can be obtained from Commandant Dermody, 391 Beech wood avenue, and as such a short time remains before Christmas, uol- lect1ons should be taken up at once.
 The Salvation Army has organized Christmas Cheer club to which all are eligible for membership who con- tribute $1 or more to it's Christmas dinner for the poor, sending their contribution to L. B. Powe, cashier of the Connecticut National Bank. Only half dozen contributions came in this way yesterday but the Army
 hopes that the number will increase
 before Christuas day. Most of the contributions received by MT. Powe were for amounts of s5 and over.
 The Salvation Army now has a half dozen kettles on the street corners in the central portion of the city. and
 these are attended by Salvation Army 1 lassies, the same sort of women who
 followed the doughboys into the
 trenches with doughnuts and coffee.

ARRANGED
 FOR RECEPTION TO NAVAL FORCES

New York, Dec. 1S.---The program for the reception of the returning sailors, now set for the period of De- cenIber 23 to 26, when there will be a land parade of naval forces. will probably outdo in size and enthusi- asm any spectacle of the sort this city has known.
 Some 70 ships of the fighting force that has been on the other side are expected to participate In addition Warships are coming from Hampton Roads and other rendezvous. The augmented fleet will assemble off Sandy Hook, and come up the bay Monday morning, to be reviewed by Secretary Daniels.
 Stages will ibe placed at points be- low Riverside Park designated as of- f1cial landing places for the home coming marines and sailors. From shortly after 10 o'clock in the morn ing until four in the afternoon, when 1t is expected the water show will end, the official, unofficial, formal and informal greeting of the men who have been over there will continue.
 On Thursday the formal reception of Admirals Mayo, Rodman and Rod gers will take place at City Hall. In the land parade the sailors and ma rtnes will be escorte5 by troops from Camp Upton and Camp Merritt.
 A Banquet will be given to the off, cers Monday night. The men of the ships will have shore leave and sev- eral theatres will be th1pwn open to them. Some time during the celebra- tton the temporary Victory Arch on Fifth avenue will be dedicated.

U. S. SOLDIERS
 ARE THRIFTY

Paris, Dec. 18.---Not many fortunes in American small change are being spent by General Pershing's fighting men for they are not at all like the old style private in the days when army pay was SIS a month. This | er- son, it will be recalled, lost his entire months emoluments in 15 minutes ex- perimenting with craps, wheTeupon he shrugged his shoulders, comment ing philosophically, "Oh, well, easy come---easy go."
 The new type of Yankee enlisted man isn't like that. He is a saving young man and he sends g. good share of his earnings home to help his wife or any other partial dependents that he may leave. In fact, he sends back as much money as he spends on him self, if figures from Y. M. c. A. finance reports may be taken as criterion. And they ought to be con sidered a fair indication of the way the pay goes.
 In the first place, the private makes an allotment of half his base pay by government order if he has anyone at home that needs it. And if he hasen't the government takes it and saves 1t for him. With very few ex- captions, he also is the holder of a government insurance policy, which takes another [ te out of his earnings. By the time his allotment and his in surance payments have been deducted | there isn't g. great deal left. Yet from this little, he manages to save what in the aggregate amounts to vast sum. In four of the five huts from which figures are available in one Y. M. C.. A. division, the soldiers sent more money home than they spent on ] themselves in buying canteen supplies l during the month.
 In the other hut, the amount of merchandise sales was only a small percentage greater than the home re- mittances handled by the Red -Trian- gle. Taking the five huts as a whole, the difference in favor of the remit tances was over 125,0OO francs for the month. One of the huts, the one whose business in all departments was the biggest of the five, sent to America almost three times as much
 money as it received for sales All of which shows that the Yankee soldier 1 is as generous and thrifty as he is
 brave and capable
 Here are the figures in total: Mer-

 tances, S77.4sS francs. ItFI.1 Tn the entire oL, -sion, the business

ST. EXCERPTS.

St. Encratis, or Engratia, suffered martyrdom in the early part of the fourth century when Christian perse- cutions were being carried on in Sara, gossa by Governor Dacian, in the reign of Dioclotian. She was one of many who suffered death rather than give up her new faith. Encratis was a native of Portugal. Her father promised her in marriage to a noble man in Rousillon, but Encratis pre- ferred to devote her life to religious works and fled to Saragossa, in what is now Spain, where the prosecutions were taking place. When she re- preached Dacian for his barbarities, he ordered her to be tormented in the n-Ost inhuman manner. After suf- fering great tortures she was sent back to prison, where she died soon afterward. Her remains are said to have been found in Saragossa. in the year 1889, over a thousand years after her death.

RAILWAY BILL
UP TO SENATE
cONFEREES RE<cH COMPROMISE
TWENTY.ONE MONTHS PEACE
LIMIT

Washington, d. c. March THE
administration bill for the control of
railroads during the war was pre-
pared for final action by congress
when the senate and house conferees
today reached complete agreement on
differences in their respective meas
ures.
Under the conferees' final agree
ment which will be presented in both
bodies of congress tomorrow and will
be acted on first by the house, the
period of government control Of the
railroads was limited to twenty-one
months instead of the two.year period
Of the house bill and the eighteen
months limit Of the senate.
The bill as finally accepted. pro-
vides that the amount of taxes on
railroad property to be levied in the
various states shall not exceed the
ratio on such property for the year
prior to the government control of the
railroads.
The bill also provides that all short
line railroads should come under the
provisions of the act. The conferees
settled their dispute over rate-making
authority by giving the president
mower to initiate rates but making
them subject to review by the inter-
state commerce commission, as pro-
vided in the senate bill and requiring
the commission to take into consid-
Grafton the fact that the carriers are
not in competition and also the presi-
dents recommendations OF necessity
for additional revenues.
