Willing TO Add q Few Billions.
As to determining the value of the
properties, Senator Cummins said he be-
lieved q commission OF fair men could,
In nine months. agree on the valuations
OF the greater part OF the lines: the rest
would have to be subjected to longer
processes. For his own part, he was so
anxious to reach a settlement that would
place matters on permanent basis that
he was willing to allow the roads two o.
three billions more on their valuation
than he really believed them to be worth.
When the new operating corporations
should be organized, the roads tiistrib-
uted into fifteen or twenty new systems,
and all was ready, the roads would be
turned over to the new companies and
operation would begin under the new
plan.

Senator has been comforting with men

As Elisabeth Marbury put Il. the
priesthood got q chance last night to
listen to the laity. The Catholic chap
lains who have served overseas were
guests OF honor at dinner given by the
St Catherine Welfare Association. and
they listened to commendation Of their
work from many laymen. as well as from
Mgr. John p. Chadwick.
Miss Marbury. who was one Of the
speakers, not only extolled the work of
the priests, but in referring to the Boil
shevist menace said: There 10 no
stronger army to protect US from that
threatening force to-day than the
knights OF Columbus. For that reason
l urge tho laity, and presume to urge
the priesthood as well, to support that
organization with all their might"

ranks Of the 165th Infantry, which was
