GOOD WILL NOT ID BG FACTOR
 IN VALUATION
Intangible Assets Not to Be Considered in Deciding
 Value of Railroads.

Washington, Aug. 22.-No allow ance for good will, going concern va lue, or other intangible assets, will be made by the interstate commerce commission in determining the value of a railroad in connection with it's
 big valuation program which has been under way for several years, and is to continue indefinitely.
 This was determined today when
 the commisson announced ts ap-
 prasal of the Texas Midland railroad,
 the first valuation, finally completed
 and the principles which it had ad-
 opted for this and future valuations. Many contentious of railroad inte- rests for inclusion of items which woull have swelled the valuations were denied.
 The valuation proceedings. now un- derway for number of minor rail- way systems, have nO immediate ef- feet on government operations ot roads, but in event of any steps to- ward public ownership after the war, the principles announced today would constitute measure of what the gov- ernment might have to pay for the roads.
 Future rate making also will be af-
 fected materially by these railroad ] valuations. If the commission makes no great changes in it's principles in passing on valuations of other roads, the fig
 ures will be much lower than those ] heretofore set by the companies.

BEST BRAINS OF

New York, Aug. 22.-The "best railroad brains of the country,' fires pective of "political labels" are being employed in the railroad administra- tion, according to William G. McAdoo director general of railroads who is inspecting terminal facilities near the city.
 Asserting that all he asked of his assistants was that they "had brains and were loyal to the government, J MT. McAdoo declared tonight that "the supreme test of the hour is 'to deliver the goods,"
 Inspection trips which he had made from coast to coast had convinced him, he said, that "passenger service was not as bad as some peopb would have us believe"
 Some persons, he asserted would like to see government control of rail- roads fail, because they feared gov ernment ownership would follow the war, while there were others ho Gal avs like to throw monkeywrench in to the machinery

WOMEN HELPING
 TO WIN THE WAR

Paris, Aug. 22.-Women employed in all branches of industry in France number 626, 900, according to an off cial report. This compares with 487,- 900 employed in normal times. This increase is due almost entirely to the employment of women in metal indus tries, chiefly in intuition works. The weight which women can be required to carry in factory work is limited by law to 55 pounds
 Women are widely employed for the inspection of finished goods, they ex- amaine separate parts for automo- piles; verify light shells, fuses and grenade plugs. They inspect big shells externally and internall yby the use of electric lamps and they test the caliber using complicated measuring apparatus and microscopes. They nail up cases of all kinds, even cases for a!rplanes and automobiles. The women supervise the buildings where men are at work and keep them clean.

 The reference in Consul 1mbrie's dispatch of a declaration of war against the United States by the Bol- sheviki authorities, however, was re- garded most seriously by officials.
 It was suggested that the speech Of Minister of War Trotzky at Moscow late in July, in which he declared that state of war existed between Russia and Great Britain and France and their allies, and which Foreign Minister Tchitcherin modified, in re- sponse to an inquiry by Consul Gen. eral Poole, to state of defense against the allies, was the real basis for the latest development in Petro- grad. It was thought that upon receipt of the report Of Trotzky's speech the Petrograd Bolsheviki authorities in- terpreted as they saw fit ann issued their declaration of war against the United States.
