LEG BADLY CRUSHED
BY LOADED SLEIGH
TEN YEAR OLD GIRL IN CATCH
ING ON BOB SLEIGH HAD LEG
CRUSHED BY RUNNER

Frances Bloom, the little ten year
old niece of Frank Davis of this city
met with terrible accident yester-
dav that resulted in the crushing of
her right leg. The little girl with
number of others was playing on
west second street when bob sled
loaded with coal came along. The
Youngsters ran to catch on but the
little Bloom girl in some way Slipped
and her right leg went under the
runner. Her playmates saw that she
was injured so got her on a hand sled
and took her to the Columbia hotel
where she lives with her uncle. Doc
tors we're called and upon examina-
ton it was found that the leg just
above the knee was badly crushed.
The knee was also badl yinjured.
The physicians decided that the
case was one for specialist and the
little girl leaves today for st. Paul.
The chances are that the leg can be
saved but it may be stiff and also
somewhat short.

BUILDING Of SHIPS
"A MIGHTY PROBLEM
SIX MILLION TONS OF SHIPPING
PING NEEDED TO BACK UP
ARMY-NEED MECHANICS

Washington, Dec. 29.-The new
year brings the people of the United
States face to face with a highly
problem, according to the U. S. Pub
lie Service Reserve in a statement
made public today at the Department
of Labor. The country win soon have
raised by conscription a National
Army of million men. This host of
soldiers is going to hurl itsex at
the Prussian military steam-roller.
Where?
Three thousand miles away, across
an ocean where the Van Tirpitz sharks
are trying awfully hard to bite any,
thing that looks like merchant ship
or transport. Three thousand miles
away from its base of supplies
longest line of communication that
ever in history big army had to
keep in operation. The length of the
trip, plus the quantity of men and
material to be carried, necessitates a
great fleet of ships.
sOne million American soldiers
our National Army-can go to the
battle front and strike a telling blow
for freedom and democracy provided
they are supported from the Atlantic
coast by 100000 tons of shipping.
The vessels for this particular pur-
pose do not exist today. The Nation
al army will be useless without them.
Where are they coming from?
They must come from American
shipyards, during the new year, and
it will take 275,OOO mechanics to
build them. According to careful es-
innate, 145,OOO of these mechanics
have yet to be found. They must be
located in towns and cities far inland.
Then they must be brought to realize
that the national emergency requires
their labor in the shipyards.
The Department of Labor and it's
bureau the Public Service Reserve, in
cooperation with the Shipping Board,
have started to search for the miss
ing workers. A call is made for the
public to appreciate the great need
of these men and that they must be
found.
previous experience in actually
building ships is not required, but the
man must be qualified in some
mechanical trade which can be used
in a shipyard," said VIM. E. Hall,
national director of the Reserve to-
day. "Any man who is mechanic
can find place to work in ship
yard. He can do more for his coun-
try by shipwork than by anything
else. The public can help by per-
suading mechanics to enroll in the
Public Service Reserve of the Depart
ment of Labor, whose agents will
soon begin to personally confer with
the mechanics. Everybody can help
by making known the fact that pre-
yious shipbuilding experience is un-

RAILROADS MERGED INTO ONE
GREAT SYSTEM--HELP Win WAR
McAdoo To Be Director General With Five Practical Railroad
Leaders Board of Conrol-Cut Out Luxurious
Passenger Service

Washington, Dec. 28.-At noon to-
day the approximately 250,000 miles
of American railway systems merged
into one great continental chain for
the winning of the war.
Under President Wilson's decision
the great event, regarded by many as
the opening of a new epoch in gov
ernment operation and control of
public utilities, passed by without any
formal ceremony.
Director General McAdoo was con-
ferring at the time with the mem
bers of the railroads war board and
Robert S. Lovett, chairman Of the
priority shipment committee.
The members of the war board

working, within the limitations OF
law, to do what the government itself
now proposes to accomplish, pledg-
ed their support to the government
administration, as has practically
every railroad man in the country
Orders for the actual uniication of
the lines, common use of facilities
and equipment, which are expected
to raise the freight jam Immediate
ly will be the first results.
At the conclusion of the conference
with the railroad heads, Mr.. McAdoo
announced that he had called on the
members Of the railroad war board
to work out a general plan of oper-
alton, it is indicated that the war
board will continue as the operating
body in charge of the country's
roads. 1t will be assisted by it's num-
erous committees throughout the
country, including the operating COM
mittee of eastern railroads, headed by
A. W. Thompson, of the Balitomore
and Ohio.
Director General McAdoo will issue
no orders or directions for the i'm
mediate present but viii lawait rec
concentrations of the war board be-
fore taking any measures to clear the
congestion choking railroad terminals
and tracks in the east.
Whatever can be don eto make
the roads more efficient" said Mr..
McAdoo, "will be done as soon as we
find out what is necessary"
Chicago, Dec 28.-Immediate cur
tailment of luxurious passenger serv-
ice equipment was among the first
steps taken today by some of the
railroads with headquarters in Chi
cago when the government came into
control of the nations rail systems.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul announced that it would elimin-
ate both observation and buffet
smoking cars from it's trains. The
change will be made between Chicago,
Milwaukee and Minneapolis at once,
and on the lines to Kansas City and
Omaha next week. Officials said the
discontinuance of this heavy equip
ment will result in a considerable
saving of fuel
The following FIVE railroad execu-
tives, each leader in the business
of transportation, will work out the
plans for Welding 25O,0OO miles of
railroad into one great continental
system for winning the war:

In "The Honor System virtue finds
itself in that immemorial conflict with
the foces of evil that the historic
stage of Drury Lane so often has wit

stage never can hope to approximate
in its accuracy of character protrayal
and in its intense modernity. that THE

respects 1t may be said to mark dis
tinct advance in screen art.
The story is laid among the timely
scenes along the Mexican border. The
border foray is pictured in all of its
thrilling interests. The spectator can
see the hordes of Villa sweeping down
on helpless Columbus the terrified
citizens, the hasty organization for
defense, the daring ride for assistance.

OBJECT TO CHANGING
WORK HOURS IN STORES
Unfair to Employees, Merchants Tell
Traffic Expert at Conference.
Walking on Increase.

Serious objection to opening depart
ment stores at 10 o'clock and closing
them at $50 o'clock. as a means Of re-
lieving street car congestion, was
voiced at a conference yesterday after
noon between John A. Beeler, traffic ex-
pert of the Public Utilities Commission,
and committee representing the big
business houses.
The merchants took the position that
1t would be unfair to their employees
to ask them to work until $50. Mr..
Reeler estimated that there are about
10000 store employees. The department
store men at the conference figured that
they had about half that number of en-
ployes. and that fully 1000 Of them now
walk to work. The number of walk-to-
work advocates will increase with
warm weather, the store owners con-
tended.
Charles J. Columbus, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, pointed out that during July and
august the summer hours Of the mer-
chants call for an earlier opening and
closing hour. 1t was decided to leave
the question as unfinished business for
the present. AS result of this de-
clslon, the meeting of the merchants
