To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, Of

only by Faith and Hope, will glide by degrees out of
the mind unless 1t be nvigorated by external ordi-
nances, by stated calls to worship, and the sauary
influence of example.

Administration Measure Goes
Through Upper Body BY
Viva Voce Vote.
FINAL PASSAGE SOON
House Expected To Bring Proposed
Law To Decision In Few Days
100 Proposed Changes
Pending.

Washington, Feb. .25.--The admin.
istration has driven its railroad bill
through the Senate, overcoming all
opposition.
General House debate on the meas.
ure, which has been running concur
rently with the Senate's discussion, is
practically at an end. Consideration of
amendments will begin at once with
approximately 100 proposed changes
pendil &. Final passage of the meas
are is looked for next week.
Tie Senate finally aodpted the
measure by a viva voce vote after
two days consideration of amend
ments.
All changes of Importance were
voted down with the exception of an
amendment offered by Senator Cum
Minis OF Iowa, directing the govern
ment to take over all short line rail-
roads representing an investment of
at least $l,0n0,O00.
As passed by the upper branch the
bill limits the period of government
control to is months after peace Is
declared.
Securities Guaranteed.
Securities maturing to an aggre-
gate value OF $3.50, 100000 within the
next four years are to be guaranteed.
! The President may allow extra com
pensation for baetterments that the
/ paid for out of earnings, but not out
of surplus He may fix rates. An
appropriation of $500,000,0 is pro
videG as nucleus for fund to buy
rolling stock and terminals. Such
purchases would remain the property
of the government.
Next to the conclusion of the short
line railroads the most interesting
step of the day was the rejection OF
amendments by Senator Cnmmins tc
limit the government return to the
roads to not more than 5 per cent
upon their capital stock. Following
this defeat, the administration turned
down propositions to limit the amoun
first to and then to Z per cent. Hi
ram Johnson of California fought va
liantly for the Cummins amendments
Cummins Amendment Lost.
Once more Senator Cummins oi
fered his proposition to give contro
of the roads during the IS month
after peace to board of five men
The Senate refused this by viv'
voce vote Senator Lodge tried t
have the period of control after tn
NOR cut from the 1S months In tn
bill to one-third that time.
This failed by Az to 2s. Senate

M'ADOO MAKES DENIAL
Refutes Hoover Charge of Delay
in Transportation.
Gives Assurance to Country of No
Danger to Food Supply by
Transportation.

Washington, Feb. 25--A new climax
has been reached in the differences
between William C. McAdoo, director
OF transportation, and Herbert Hoo
yer, food administrator, over the rea-
son for the delay of food shipments
to the coast.
Mr.. McAdoo, in letter to the food
administrator, called on him to show
where the food was. The letter reads:
Dear MFR. Hoover: You are, as
understand it, the sole purchaser in
this country, of food supplies for the
Allied governments. You must, there
fore, know the location of the food
supplies which you from time to time
purchase and the ports in this coun
try to which you desire such supplies
shipped. IL you will notify me from
time to time of the location of the
specific supplies and the port or ports
In the United States to which you
wish to have such supplies trans
ported, will guarantee the necessary
transportation, subject alone TO In
| terruptions from billiards and foods
Mr.. McAdoo Assures Country.
Il wish to reassure the country b,
saying that so far as transportation
is concerned, there is no danger o
suffering from a serious food short
age in the eastern part of the coun
| try. Cordially yours,
! 'W. c. McADOO."
In a statement issued Thursda,
night, Hoover declared that the diff
i Guilty was due to the failure of tn,
i transportation system to move tn
4 food supplies.
Director General McAdoo made pull
lie with his letter statement givint
i actual figures of shipments of grail
which the railroad administration ha
been making within the last for
night This shows that there ar
now moving approximately 100000
bushels of grain daily.

now lying in an American port, and
permit it to proceed to Norway with
its cargo of oil cake.

Norway in a recent note acceded
to most of the American demands. II
refused, however, to agree not to ex
port to the Teutonic powers many o.
it's own products, including ingredi
ents of munitions and supplies o.
war, on the ground that it depended
upon Germany for many necessar,
commodities and had to furnish tha
country supplies in return.
Among the conditions agreed to b!
Norway are:
That it would permit no American
| products to go to the Teutonic pow
| ers
That 1t would not export to tn
Teutonic powers any of its owl
products replaced by imports fron
| America.
Rationing System Promised.
That 1t would institute a ratior
ing system for its population.
In addition, Norway agreed to limi
its necessary expectations to the Tel
tonic powers and in compensation 70
essential supplies from the Unite
States ard it's associates, offered tn
far predominant part of its expol
surplus to America and the Alliel
in addition TO the exceedingly In
portant service and sacrifice whic
the Norwegian merchant marine ha
rendered during the war.
