London, Feb. l4.-Sir William Goode

post of liason officer between the British
food ministry and the United States food

Mr.. Hoover a cablegram saying he found
that as a result of the American conser-
walton campaign he had l50.O00000
pounds of bacon and 25,00o,000 pounds
of frozen meat more than the British

His offer was 80 unexpected that we
had TO hustle to get the finance and ship

For Winter Made by the

CAUSE OF GREAT
TRAFFIC CONGESTION
Charge Made by Warren S.
Stone Before the Railway
Wage Commission

Washington, Feb l4.-Lack OF prep
aration by the railroads TO meet the win
Ter weather was the cause of the grea
traffic congestion, Warren $. Stone, thu
grand chief of the brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers, yesterday told th'
railway wage commission in asking fol
minimum wage of s. day and penal
ty time and half for over time
"The railroads went into the winter
with no provision for taking care OF
their motive power" he said.
Long hours by railroad men, Mr. Stone
denounced as a menace to public safety
He said majority of yards We're work
ing on an eight hour shift until the
movement was begun for increased
wages when the work was heightened to
enable the railroads to show larger
amounts paid to employees,
Employment OF women in the place OF
men also was condemned by Mr.. Stone,
During the Mexican trouble, Mr. Stone
said, the war department had asked the
brotherhood for men who spoke Span
ish and were competent to move troop
trains. He said he furnished them the
names of more than 300 These facts
were given the commission to show the
patriotism of the engineers and the part
they played in national emergency.
Never before this winter, in the opinion
of Mr.. Stone, had the roads approached
the bad weather season with so little
preparation and with the motive pow
er in such rotten condition.

trying to run down the condition of the
roads so as to run up overtime and dis

in the last two months"
Prediction that the "worst horror" OF
the railroads was yet to come if long
hours were not eliminated was made by
MIR Stone. Men working 20, 20 and even
30 hours at a stretch, he said, were
physically exhausted and not responsible
for any wreck that might happen.

ENGL4ND'S WHEAT
STOCK IS GROHINC
DESPITE U-BO4TS
Total in December, 1917, Exceeded 1916
Amount BY One Million Quarters
Hoover Offers Vast Meat
Supplies

London, Feb. 1.-THE total stocks of
wheat in Great Britain at the end OF
December last exceeded those at the end
of December, 1916, by a million quarters,
Andrew Bonar Law, the chancellor of the
eXchequer, told the House of Commons
yesterday.
A quarter of wheat in British termi-
nology means 504 pounds, the excess
thus figuring out 504,000,000 pounds or
100000 bushels at 90 pounds to the
bushel. That the supply OF meat and
bacon is assured is shown by the fact
that at the time when things looked
darkest for England month ago Mr.
Hoover cabed the food controller that
25,000,000 pounds of meat and 100000
900 pounds of bacon were available in
this country and that these could be had
as soon as ships We're ready to transfer
them.

Plans Perfected for
Military Training
at Normal School

All details for the. organization of
the military unit at the Normal
school are being arranged. This
week Friday and Saturday Presl-
dent Ames will attend conference
at Fort Sheridan. This conference
is being conducted by the War De-
partment to which are invited the
heads of all schools who have been
designated for this work. Professor
Karees, who is in camp at Fort
Sheridan, will also attend as one of
the schools official representatives.
Detail as to the work to be given
will be settled at this time. 1t is
expected that considerable modif-
cation in courses of study will be
requested by the War Department.
The Normal Board Of Regents last
week abolished all fees in school for
men who will be enrolled Ia this
unit. 1t is expected that all young
men over Is years Of age and high
school graduates or equivalent will
be enrolled in this military unit.
This is splendid opportunity for
young men to secure military train
ing under the most advantageous
conditions. Those who do not en-
roll will be called into the canton
ments during the fall. The War
Department is urging these young
men to take up the work in their
respective schools, as thereby, they
will receive training for specialized
service. thus creating reserve for
officers training camps and for tech
nical service of various kinds. Men
enrolled in this unit will be In uni
form aud subject to the discipline
Of the army officer. All persons de-
string to enter the military unit
should let the school know at once
as they must be listed in this unit
or they will be called under the
draft at an early date. This is a
very important matter and one in
which our young men and their par
ents are vitality interested.
Please address the president of
the school for any further informa-
ton.
