CAMP CODY EXCELLENT
SOUTH DAKOTANS SAID TO BE
THE PICTURE OF HEALTH.

Sioux Falls, March 5.-Mr. and
Mrs. Charles p. Bates have arrived
home from Deming, N. NJ, where they
spent three days in Camp Cody with
their son, Lieutenant Chester Bates,
who is with the South Dakota ma
chine gun battalion.
Speaking of conditions at Camp
Cody, Mr.. Bates brought back moth
ing but words of highest praise for
every department, which he took the
time to go through and investigate
personally. The boys are in fine
spirits and anxious to go across. He
reports sanitary conditions excellent
and added:
We went through the different
hospitals, found plenty of nurses, up
to-date equipment and the patients
being given the best possible treat
ment. There are ample supplies oil
clothing and food and the boys are
kept prepared to move almost imme.
diately upon receipt of orders. They
would be ready to leave on very short
notice. We ate three meals with ths
men in camp at their mess tables and
the food was splendid. Chester has
gained IA pounds and you woult
hardly recognize several of the other:
who have put on weight. In fact, ev

bled across the street to his place of
business, only to find a return from
his bank on an $3.50 check he had
cashed a few days previous for a
smooth individual.
The check artist came into the
store in o~veralls and with counte-
nance blackened with the CRIME of
apparent honest labor, purchased a
baby's high chair, directed it to be
sem to a given address, rendered a
check for $3.50, purporting to be
signed by a well known business man,
and received his change from the pur-
chase.
A few hours later a certain house
holder was much surprised to receive
a high chair which she did not order
and which she later sent back about
the time the check returned. The
merchant could not identify the
workman" without his grease.

PASSENGER SERVICE
FOR ALL WESTERN ROADS TO BE
CURTAILED.

Washington, March 5.-PassengeI
train service in the west will be re-
duced o%ne-third or more by a rear
rangement of schedules to be an
nounced shortly by Director General
McAdoo.
Scores of trains on competing
lines leaving and arriving at termin-
ais about the same time will be elm
mated. Unnecessary trains on many
western lines are to be taken off and
the locomotives and crews used for
essential freight service. There is no
thought, however, of making a few
western lines the principal passenger
carriers as contemplated in the east.
Officials also stated that the reduc-
ton in schedules will not result in
any serious inconvenience to passen-
gers.
The c%urtailment, which has been
under consideration for several
weeks by Gerrit Fort, passenger traf-
fic director for the railroad admin
istration, will b~eeffective from the
Mississippi river to the Pacific coast.
In much of this territory traffic is
comparatively light and by a reduc-
ton of the number of trains railroad
administration officials believe they
can save many millionsof dollars and
still provide ample facilities for all
through travel to the coast.

GERMAN CONDITIONS
KAISER DARES NOT RELINQUISH
ANY OF HIS MILITARY
ADVANTAGE.

Amsterdam, March 5.-The
Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant
prints a long interview with a per
sonage who returned recently from a
weeks visit to Berlin" where he talk
ed with a number of prominent per-
sons, including Baron von Dem
Bussche1Haddenhausen, under secre-
tary for foreign affairs; DR.. Drews,
Prussian minister of the interior;
DR.. Solf, minister for colonies, and
Lieutenant General Won Stein, Prus-
sian minister of a
The of opinion the WIS.,
itor gathered was that the greatest
difficulty in arriving at peace nego-
tiations is that Germany dare not, or
will not, relinguish any military ad-
vantage unless certain the peace ne
gotiations have a chance for success.
He adds:
They agreed perfectly, for in
stance, with my objections against
bombing London and admitted that
for the sake of peace Ii were better
they stopped. Yet, they said, the
raids must continue for military rea-
sons"
Among other things the visitor, APP
parently a Dutchman, said:
Il had occasion to meet several
members of the American colony. To
my surprise the Americans in Berlin
enjoy the greatest freedom. They
are quite satisfied with their treat
ment and apparently are possessed
of sufficient means to live in the com
Portable style to which they have been
accustomed. No objections areraised
against the speaking of English by
them in hotels and restaurants.
neither do the walters object to
speaking English with their American
customers"

The chairman of the tariff committee of the
Drug Manufacturers association made the
work of the tariff commission and the COM
mittees cooperation with the federal body the
principal features of his report at the annual
meeting of the association. Responding to
request from the commission, the committee
sent to the board suggestions for the improve
ment of the tariff law and adjustment OF the
statute to present conditions. 1t reported that
it believed it would be well for the association
to give more serious study to the tariff ques-
ton. and that if it were possible to do so, it
might be advisable for the association to go
over the tariff upon drugs, medicines and
chemicals and present it's conclusions to the tar
if commission with it's views as to what changes
might be suggested ''tending to relieve the
schedules of some antiquities and inconsist-
encies, which would be a benefit to the trade
in these commodities as well as to the general
well-beng of commerce in these commodities IN
our own country and in international trade. -
This disposition to work with rather than OPP
pose the tariff commission is a hopeful sign. NO
doubt it would be to the advantage OF other IN
dustries to do what the drug manufacturers
are doing in this respect.
The tariff commission has come to stay. Its
usefulness will depend in large measure upon
the cooperation of American business. Any
call from the board for suggestions from prac
teal men respecting proposed tariff changes
should be welcomed. Congress, not the COM
mission will make the new tariff law, but the
more complete the information it receives from
the commission the better the law will be.

that they owe something to the kaiser
