KAISER'S KITCHEN
u. S. WAR TROPHY.
BITS OF NEWS

Washington, Sept. 20.-To the
collection of war trophies which the
Smithsonian Institution is now gath.
ering will be added shortly the field
kitchen of William Hohenzollern
late kaiser of Germany.
German prisoners of war this
week loaded the kitchen-which is
said to be most elaborate affair OF
the kind-aboard transport at St
Nazaire, France, and it is on its
way to Washington. The kitchen
followed the kaiser all over Europe
during the war, but shows no signs
of damage, which is taken to indi-
cate that it kept as far TO the rear
as did its imperial owner.
The institution, among other
trophies, has been given the great
war map, on which> General PERISH
ing and his staff worked out the
strategical problems which the
American armies carried through.
1t will be housed within the same
chamber that it occupied during the
war-foor, wall, table and chairs
having been secured for it.

He favors the universal training of
young mon in military tactics in
schools and colleges and in national
guard ORGANIZATIONS but he is not in
favor OF the draft for military service
in time OF peace which is what univer-
sal military training means when It
proposes TO mobilize men into armies
for several months or a years service.
He is not in favor OF demanding any
more bonus for his service in the army
but will be thankful for whatever
congress is willing to appropriate.

WA ALWAYS ssssrs pa,uts.

PrlCcs during anu touoWhhs S"~
civil war rose and fell. according to the
index numbers compiled by puns
Trade Review, much as they have ris-
| on during the world war and as they
viii fall when Europe gets back 10 the
production OF foods and things for its
own needs,
The Dun Index number" Is compiled
scientifically upon the basis OF the
Wholesale price OF some 800 commodi-
ties proper regard being taken for inc
relative Importance Of the various COM
nodes. tho average consumption oil
them, and all other factors entering
into the general price situation. Seven
general groups are listed and 800 DIFF
Corent articles arc priced. This does
away with any radical fluctuaton In
the index number 30 far US any one
article Is concerned. In other words,
tho index number represents a general
average.
In 1850 the total or average index
number Tor all commodities was 49,
1871. There were fluctuations during
the civil war period similar to those
during the recent world war. and in
1864 the index number was 2ISSs7 or
considerably more than twice that of
1850. just as prices now are nearly
double what they were before the
world war.
However in 1865 there was de-
cided drop in prices, and while the in
dex number rose a few points In 1866.
the next decade showed a very decided
downward tendency thru the panic OF
10 and until in 1873 the index number
was s6,26s Then followed a period of
increasing living costs. until in 1882
the index number was 1920.
Various fluctuations marked the
next ten years and the lowest figure
ever recorded. 1856, was in 1897, as
compared to 1871 just prior TO the
civil war.
With the exception Of few years.
the tendency since then has been for
prices to mount higher and higher.
The index number in 1912 had climbed
to 1927. There was n very slight
recession of prices the following two
years, but the effect of the war was
plainly reflected in 1915, by an index
number Of 124.95S. In 1916 costs had
further increased, bringing up the in
dex number TO 1912, and by 1917
they had leaped to 2ll,960, going on to
232,575 in 1918, and to 233,707 for July
!. Of this year
But even at these figures prices have
not yet reached the relative rise that
they reached during the civil war when
the index number stood at 27S,sS7. A
drop from this plane to 9s.2ss within
ten years after the civil war may pre-
dict something as to the course OF
prices during the next ten years. 1t
would seem almost inevitable that II
war initiates prices peace ought to de-
flate them.

tn. AVERAGE CITIZEN An EMPLOYER.

The average citizen who collectively
constitutes the employer Of all men
engaged in public service because he
must be taxed for freight and passen-
ger transportation should know some
thing as to the facts. Wages now be-
ing paid to railroad men cost upon an
average $3.50 per annum for every fam
lily in this country. Three billions for
railroad wages divided among 100 mil
lions of people average $50 per capita
or $3.50 for an average family Of five.
The railroad men now demand that
their wages be boosted TO $4,000, 00O, 900
or approximately % per cent.
In order that each head OF a fam
lily In this country who has been pay
ing $3.50 per annum toward railroad
mems wages may decide fairly wheth
er he should pay more he should com
pare the wages railroad men get with
his own wage or income.
Unskilled laborers on the railroads.
who in 1916 received an average wage
of $50 per month, are now receiving
$50. Machinists. who averaged 800
per month upon all railroads thruout
the land three years ago. now average
1926 per month. Freight engineers have
been boosted from 1854 to 1907 per
month; passenger engineers from SIT
to s211 per month, while skilled labor
ers now average $144 az against ST
three years ago.
These figures are taken from the Re-
view Of Reviews published in New
York City. and are believed to be au-
thentic. It Is estimated by the expert
writing for that magazine that railway
employees have had their wages In
! creased rs per cent since 1916 while
wages in the same period have gone up
81 per cent in the automobile industry,
ST per cent in mems clothing manufac-
turing and "a per cent in cotton man
ufacturing. The cost Of both labor
| and material In railroading has in
| creased about 80 per cent since the
war began while railroad rates have
Increased only Is per cent Today the
| government is paying the deficiency
out OF general taxation while railroad
securities have greatly declined In val
ue to an estimated amount Of $780,
| 100000, which is an added tax or loss
| upon the millions OF people, savings
| banks and insurance companies who
had invested in railroad stocks and
| bonds.
If all wages are TO keep on going up
without end railroad men will right
fully be entitled to theirs but every
| citizen should know that $3.50 per an
mum is now included in the cost Of the
things his average family buys to pay
wages 20 rai!rpn,i mar, VIM now as.
