HORSE AGAIN SUPREME ON
GASLESS SUNDAY IN EAST

NEW YORK, Oct. IA. = There is
no need to watch your STEP on
Broadway these gasless Sunday
nights. Without the steady flow
of motor vehicles that formerly
kept the traffic squad as busy on
the day of rest as any other, the
asphalt seems all but deserted.
"'Ansom, sir?"
The once-familiar s%alutation, all
but forgotten during a generation
of automobile supremacy, smites
the ear. The cabby has come into
his own again. Horses that had
been denoted to common equine
labor have been recalled to their
former places between the curved
shafts. Vehicles of the eighties
and nineties, two-wheeled and four
wheeled, have been r~esurrected
from the dust and cobwebs of livery
stables which, once a week, have

DUTCH FEAR THEIR
WAR ATTITUDE IS
M|SCONSTRUED

AMSTERDAM, Oct. II. = Hol-
landers have been told by their
friends in the United States that
American opinion is undergoing a
change adverse to Holland. To COM
bat this a Netherlands society is
preparing to send a special mission
to America in the hope of more
firmly cementing the friendship of
the two nations.
Friends of Holland in the United
States, according to theHandelsblad,
which is regarded as the leading
newspaper in the kingdom, have
sent word to Holland that the feel
ing in America is that the people of
the Netherlands seem Indifferent
to the tremendous issues of the
war.
The paper declares that the con-
census of American opinion is that
the Dutch fail to appreciate the pur-
ity of Americas motives, that the
Hollanders think of nothing but to
keep out of the val and enrich
themselves and that the loudness of
their protests against any inconven-
fences they may have suffered rs a
result of entente war measures is
not proportionate to the moderate
ness of their complaints against
Germany's crimes on land and sea.
The newspaper freely admits that
there is good ground for reproach.
Many persons in Holland" it says,
Judge the war and the leading
statesmen OF the various countries,
especially America, in a captious,
presumptious, even cynical spirit,
which is calculated to grieve Ameri-
cans sorely. America can justly
expect Holland to believe in the
good faith of it's declaration that it
entered the var not from .egotistical
or selfish purposes, but to free the
world from the cancer of mill
taristic imperialism.
Holland has not done nearly
enough to enlighten public opinion
in America regarding the true feel
ings of the American people. The
spirit of the Dutch people is largely
misunderstood and misinterpreted
abroad"

unthinkable. But Uncle Sam wants

DESTROYERS Being BUILT FAST
At NEWPORT news SHIPYARDS

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Oct. 16.
New ship ways, towering trestles,
spreading shops, fields of steel and
the incessant clamor, day and
night, of automatic riveters, great
steam hammers and whirring ma
chinery are the symbols of wartime
shipbuilding here where deep-sea
craft has been turned out since the
SOS.
In this great plant 10000 men
and women are working at top
speed. Sliding quietly from the
ways, without a semblance of the
ceremony that attended ~launchings
in the days of peace, ship after ship
has been built and floated only to
lose itself in the maze of commerce

and to the fields of France.

BISHOP People Want TO KNOW
What SAVAGES wrote ON ROCKS

BISHOP, Cal, Oct. 16. - ANA
teur Psychologists of this section are
endeavoring to interest professional
scientists of the east in the cpl
graphs which abound on the rocks
of Round valley, not far from this
city, and which are believed to be
as old, if not older, than the hero
glyphics of earliest Egypt, to which
they bear a strange resemblance.
1t is believed by many hat the
strange markings, constituted the
means by which ancient tribes mark
ed the source of water supply for
the benefit of their number who
lived rowing lives.
These hieroglyphics have never
been deciphered. although they are
matters of record in the leading
museums of the country, it is said.
The Indian tribes now living in this
vicinity declare they are not the

work of the Indians of North Amer
lea and that they antedate all abo-
riginal lore.
Some who have examined the
strange meanings in the flinty boul-
ders say the hie%roglyphics closely
resemble those of earliest Egypt and
may replace the latter as the first
written language of humanity.
They are found always in the vi
cinity of water supplies, the same
markings discovered near Bishop
appearing also on rocks extending
through the Canadian border, down
through Washington, Oregon and
California, to the Mexican line and
beyond. This fact, it is argued, in
dictates that prehistoric tribes mark
ed a highway for their migrating
members or for their armies, giving
specific directions as to the best
water supplies along the way.

WHAT PEOPLE
OF ROADS
Bureau Is Devoted to Handling of
Many Matters Suggesting
Reforms
MANY CAPABLE EMPLOYEES
HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED
Travelling Man Says He Spent Ten
Years Waiting for
Trains

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. Is
Director General McAdoo and his
railroad administration are finding
out, through the new bureau of
complaints and suggestions, what
the people think of the railroads
under government control. The
people think many good things and
bad. They write praise and con-
domination of policies and individual
employees. Some of their sugges-
tions are declared practical and
many not.
1t is the task of the bureau to
translate the accepted complaints
and suggestions into action which
will effect reforms, and explain to
all other writer's reasons for prac-
tees against which they protest.
Nearly 800 letters pour into the
bureau every day, and hundreds of
suggestions already have borne fruit
in reforms.
AS results, train schedules have
been changed to permit better con-
nections for commuters, obsolete
baggage practices involving extOr-
tionate charges have been eliiminat-
ed, strayed shipments of household
goods have been traced, public ia
cilities in stations and coaches have
been improved, inefficient and dis
courteous employees have been dis
covered, and even more capable and
accommodating railroad men have
been commended and recognized.
More than %one-fourth of the let
tiers complain against inadequate
passenger train service, crowded
cars and belated trains. In most
cases the cause of complaint can
not be remedied, but the bureau
writes a letter in answer to each
complaint, explaining hat in war
times perfect train service can not
be expected. Congestion at ticket
offices is similarly explained.
From a Pennsylvania town came
the suggestion that a group of wo-
men would cooperate to keep the
station clean. They were told to
go ahead, and they did.
II have been a travelling man for
80 years, and l have spent 10 years
waiting for connections at Junction

eler. An investigation was started
to ascertain whether schedules ac-
tually did discriminate against
Junction City.
Three hundred commuters on an
Erie train united in praising Con-
ductor Thomas Ryan for his long
period of faithful and accommodate

Ballard Dunn, a former Chicago
newspaper man, runs the bureau,
with the aid of a staff of CORE
spondents, and refers many import
ant suggestions to the director gen.
eral or to other railroad admins

ARMY OFFICERS ARE
Warned AGAINST
FREELY j Using
GUARD HOUSES

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash,
Oct. 14.-"Throwing a soldier into
the guard house, for slight infrac-
tions of discipline is discountenanc-
ed at Camp Lewis and courts mar
tial are under the ban also except
for severe cases. To bring this to
the attention of young officers a
memorandum prepared by the judge
advocates office recently was pub
lished here. The last paragraph
sums up what is expected of an Of
ficer. 1t says:
Let the officer remember that it
is his duty to make soldiers rather
than prisoners; the ranks filled
with good soldiers will win in the
end, but penitentiaries, disciplinary
barracks and guard houses filled
with prisoners will result only in
internal trouble and unrest.
1.-THE officer who makes 10 sol
diers from 10 recruits has perform
ed his duty, but the officer who
makes 80 soldiers out of 100 re-
cruits and, through lack of patience,
tact or judgment, aids the hun
dredth mar to become a general
prisoner and probable criminal, has
failed in the conception and execu-
ton of his commission"
The higher officers realize the
change in bringing a man from
cisil life to the army and the mem
orandum says on this point:
"Officers should never forget
that these recruits are from an
entirely different mode of life and
government; that they have been
used to little or no discipline and
that the moulding of each individ-
uai, with his cross-grained nature
ard character, into a smoothly work
ing organization must necessarily
result in considerable minor fric-
,ion and disturbance, but hat with
the exercise of patience. tact and
discriminating judgment in the in
dividual case, this disturbance and
friction can and should be reduced
to q minimum"

BOYS ASKED TO ENLIST
IN WORKING RESERVE.
President Wilson Hopes Young Men
Not Permanently Employed
VIII Enroll.

Washington.-President Wilson has
called on all American boys of 16
years and over not permanently en-
ployed, to enroll in the United States
boys working reserves. A national
enrolment week, beginning March 1S,
has been set aside by the department
of labor.
The presidents open letter made
public Friday follows:
THE department of labor has set
aside the week beginning March Is as
national enrolment week for the Unit
ed States boys working reserve. The
purpose of this national enrolment
week is to call the attention of the
young men of the nation to the impor-
tance of increasing the food supply by
working on the farms and to urge
them to enroll in the reserve.
81 sincerely hope that young men of
the country of 16 years of age and
over not now permanently employed,
and especially the boys in our high
schools, will enter heartily into this
work and join the boys working re-
serve in order that they may have the
privilege, for such I believe it to be,
of spending their spare time in a pro-
ductive enterprise which will certain
ly aid the nation to win the war by
increasing the means of providing for
the forces at the front and for the
maintenance of those whose services
are so much needed at home

STATE SUPERINTENDENT HAIR
RiS CALLS ON TEACHERS
TO DIRECT WORK.
TO PERFECT ORGANIZATION
Training Which Teachers and chiI-
dren VIII Acquire Will BE Worth
All Of the Effort and Expense In
VOWED, Declares Mr.. Harris.
BATON Rnnge-

Baton Rouge
As far as possible every child OF
suitable age, both boys and girls,
should be induced to cultivate home
garden of such size as he or she can
properly look after, and should be
given az individual plot in a school
garden, says State Superintendent
Harris in an appeal addressed to the
public school teachers of Louisiana,
in support of President Wilson's
strong appeal that they promote home
gardening among the school children
Of the nation. Louisiana can do ten
times as much as it now is doing In
this field, he says.
United States Commissioner Of
Education Claxton, says Superintend-
ent Harris, expresses the hope that
at least 10000 teachers and 5000, 900
boys and girls in the United States
may Immediately enlist in the garden
movement and perfect at once the or
ganizations necessary to guarantee
successful gardens this spring and
summer.
The importance of the work can
not be too strongly emphasized" says
superintendent Harris in his appeal.
THE training which teachers and
children will acquire will be worth
all of the effort and expense involved;
but, in addition to this value to come
from the garden work. millions of
dollars worth of additional food will
be produced, and this will constitute
a direct and most valuable eontribu-
ton to the winning of the war I
wish to urge that Louisiana teachers
and children enlist enthusiastically in
this movement. It is true, of course.
that many of the public schools now
cultivate school gardens, and that
several thousand children are cu1ti-
waiting individual gardens at their
homes; but we can do ten times as
much in this field as we are now
doing il We undertake the work with
the proper spirit and wisdom OF or
ganization.
