cred by later developments, but off,
cials who have studied the situation
closely are inclined to believe they are
more likely to prove higher.
The cost of extensions and better
ments, particularly at terminals now
being planned, can be determined at
this time only in most general terms,
but officials point out that the finan-
cial burden of these will be felt with
in six months and that eventually they
must be met out of higher freight
revenues.
An extensive scheme of economics
ernment management is being devel-
oped slowly, but it is said the ecomo-
mics will not begin to show big in
reports Of expenses for almost an
other year. BY that time it is
planned to reduce rates if it is found
possible to do so and still maintain
railroads in normal condition.
McAdoo Prepared to Act
Mr.. McAdoo repeatedly has ex.
pressed the opinion that the railroads
under. government operation should
be self-supporting. For this reason he
is represented as prepared to raise
rates and explain to shippers that
since prices of every other kind OF
service and materials have gone up
freight and passenger rates must be
expected to follow.
1t is contended that to raise passen.
ger rates to three cents mile will no,
reduce travel to any great extent, and
the Director General is opposed tc
taking any drastic steps to ! curtai]
passenger traffic. He has frowned
upon proposals to follow Great Brit.
aims example of raising passenre,
rates SO per cent, and thereby cut of
considerable travel Commuters rates
would be affected to lesser extent
than others, and might not be raised
Railroads reports for the first three
months this year show that, although
operating revenues were per cent
greater than last year. operating ex-
penses were 25 per cent greater, and
net revenue from operations was only
one-half of last years.
Advisers Demand Speedy Action
The Director General has it in his
power, acting as representative of the
President, to put new rates into eff.
fect at any time without consulting the
Interstate Commerce Commission. q,
he may apply to the commission fo1
authority to change schedules if he
wishes. His advisers in the railroad
administration, however, are insistent
that speedy action be taken to furnish
railroads new revenues, and it is con.
sidered probable he will adopt the for.
mer course.
Mr.. McAdoo, although still confined
to his home by illness. has studied rec.
concentrations for rate increases, anu
is expected to give the subject further
attention when he returns to his office
later this week. Most railroad admin.
istration officials are anxious for the
new rates to be put into effect in June
To ascertain exactly what improve
ments and extensions railroads are
making the Director General to-day or
dered companies to report what prof
ects are under way or planned and
whether adequate funds are available
for the work.

HEARERS KEPT AWAKE

A country minister was much an
moved because of the cOmnolent dis
positions OF two members of his con-
gregation. So he thought over the
matter and then called on one OF
them and said in the course OF con-
versation: By the way, Mr.. Mc-ln-
tosh, have you ever noticed Mr. Mac
pherson sleeping during the sermon?''
Many time" replied the virtuous
Mcintosh
..Wen.'' resumed the minister, you
might manage to sit next to him on
Sunday and try to keep him awake
Certainly" was the ready reply.
Then the minister went to Mac
pherson. made similar request in
regard to Mcintosh and received as
ready a response
And on the Sunday following ne
nearly broke down in discourse sew
eraI times by reason of an inward
prompting to hilarity, as he watched
the two vigilant members of his
flock most faithfully bent on re,
deeming their promises.

sTtNTs IN WARTIME

True to an ancient rule of the
crafts various trade unions in Great
Britain express disapproval Of the
rivalry in ship construction stimulat-
ed in that country as well as in this
by special bonuses and prizes for
workingmen. One of the most seri-
GUS complaints against unionism from
the first has been that it too often
developes a spirit opposed to maxi
mum efficiency, the idea being, OF
course, that the average man mas TO
be safeguarded against the energy
and ambition of the few whose stand
ards of production are high.
These are war times, however, and
wages and conditions are exceeding
ly generous. Every workingman,
whether especially skilled or not, is
well paid and we'll treated and ne
has in addition the knowledge that
as most work is war work, he is
rendering a service not alone to bis
family and himself. but also to bis
country.
No man at the front is complain
ing of competition or overwork. II
a score is kept it is not as sriev
ance. but as a matter of pride Tine
more shots fired TO advantage the
greater the satisfaction, even though
the cost has to be computed in the
casualty lists What soldiers dc
cheerfully in a heroic contest in the
face of death is not likely TO be
summed by patriotic artisans whose
stints bring them compensation III

College Tells Why 1t Will Have
No Military Unit

The board of managers of Haverford

ment, explaining It's attitude in declining
to- establish at the school an army train
ing corps unit:
'"The board of managers of Haverford
College has voted without dissent not to
install unit to the students army
training corps at Haverford. The board
appreciated the generous features of the
Governments plan. but felt that the
ideals of citizenship and Of higher edu-
cation held by the Society of Friends
were worth conserving in the present
crisis, and that those ideals could best
be made to serve the needs of the ma
ton If the regular courses leading to
the bachelors degree were maintained
without interruption or confusion. This
action is fully understood by the War
Department, which does not desire at
present to use any pressure upon indi-
vidual colleges. but desires each to con-
tribute it's full quota to either the mill
tary CIR to the intellectual resources of
the country.

Widespread Raids to Follow

Few Days

Widespread raids to round up draft

throughout the entire easssrn district

the Department of Justice.
Todd Daniels. acting superintendent
of the Philadelphia Division of the De-
partment of Justice, today announced
that the former raids were mere pre-
liminaries" to what will follow.
Because of the new registration he
expects the net results of the coming
raids to be far in excess of those that
went before.
Agents operating in previous raids
gave men the benefit of the doubt rela-
tive to their age-thus many men pro-
Tossing to be thirty-two years old, al
though possibly only twenty-nine or
thirty. escaped. The new age limits,
however, will eliminate such excuses.
Agents of the Protective League. that
have been very effective in previous
raids, will act in the same capacity in
the new raids, only directly under the
head of an authorized operative of the
Department of Justice, who will make
all arrests for his squad.
