 FIGHTING FRONT

Washington, April 4.-The daily casualty reports will continue to be published by the War Department and will be furnished to the press as sociations for national mail or tele- graph distribution Major casualties now being reported from the Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces are largely composed of current deaths from dis ease, accident and other causes: A few cases of killed in action" "died of wounds,'' wounded" and change of status" may be expected from time to time as investigations estab- fish the fact that missing men were in fact killed. This policy also brings into the casualty lists names of men who were wounded months ago and have long since returned to duty, many of them now being safely at their homes.

''FIFTY-FOUR,
 FORTY, OR FIGHT

"F'ifty-four-forty- fight" the cry of the United States expansionists which eventually resulted in the an- nexation of considerable territory by the United States on the Pacific Coast, had its origin in a convention be- tween the United States and Russia, concluded at St. Petersburg 95 years ago tomorrow, April 5, 1924. This agreement fixed latitude ffty-four forty as the northern boundary claim ed by the United States.
 For 20 years the question of the boundary between British America and the United States remained in a0eyance. Then came the threat of Uncle Sam, "ffty-four-forty or fight 9 and for some time war between the two countries seemed imminent.
 The people of the United States wanted to see the Stars and Stripes floating over what is now considered the best part of western Canada. In 1846 commissioners were appointed, and while Uncle Sam did not get ffty-four-forty," he did get, with out resorting to arms, the rich Puget Sound section of the lower valley of the Columbia. There were many peo- pie in the United States who at the time were of the opinion that England seemed to have a better right to the ceded section. Ten years later the boundary question again came up, with San Juan Island as the bone of contention. This controversy was not settled until 1872, when the German Emperor was called upon to arbftrate the matter. He awarded the disputed territory to the United States.

 I'm giving this fact, not to illus trate the undoubted truth that there will be over a million farm tractors in use within the next three years. but rather to show how, delving into Americas business center in Wash ington--the center where the Amert- can business man had, until recently, Q place in Government---you find astonishing facts beyond number. They are facts which the business man, when he got into the musty old offices in Washington, brought to light ''

HEIICM-ANOTHER WAR
 WONDER,

One Of the most amazing scientific achievements of the war, and one that will have a tremendous infu- ence on the future of mankind, is the production of noninflammabl ble gas, described by A. Russell Bond in the April Everybody's. Before the war; says MT. Bond, "Helium was one of the rare gases. Its cost per cubic foot ranged from fifteen hun dred dollars to six thousand dollars. To fill Q large Zeppelin with helium at even the lowest market price would have cost three billion dollars, But then there was not that much helium in captivity. No laboratory in the country could boast of more than five cubic feet.
 The war came to a close before the helium-Tlled airship had been pro- duced. Some helium had been man ufactured, enough to fill some of our observation balloons on the other side. But the most astonishing fact was that our chemists had brought down the cost of manufacture from fifteen hundred dollars to ten cents per cubic foot! And the prospects are that even this figure may be lowered when the two million dollar plant, which is to be completed n April of this year, is operating under full swing. Balloon fabrics have now reached such 8 stage of perfection that there would not be a loss of more than six per cent. of the buoy ancy of 8 large airship in month, and with tanks of compressed helium to make up the loss, an airship could stay up indefinitely"

HORSE TO FOLLOW THE DoDo.

Every horse and mule in the United States ought to be taken out and shot, Is the startling conclusion reached by William G. shepherd, who tells us in Everybody's, for April, some of the interesting facts that business men have dug up in war time Washington. There are twenty five million such animals" con tinues MT. Shepherd. "They should be exterminated as soon as we can dispense with their services.

Executives of Railroads Advocate
Private Ownership and
Operation.
new CABINET OFFICER
Proposal Calls for Regulation Under
Secretary of Transportation, With
Guarantee Of Adequate
Earnings.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Congress
now has before II three well defined
proposals for legislation dealing with
railroads.
Railroad executives presented to the
Senate Interstate Commerce commit
tee their plan calling for private own
ership and operation, under regulation
OF a secretary of transportation, a new
cabinet officer-with statutory guar
antee vi adequate earnings; rates 10
be proposed by the roads and subject
to review by the secretary of trans
p%ortation and Interstate Commerce
commission and with the cabinet Off
Ger authorized to supervise pooling Of
equipment, common use of terminals,
rerouting OF traffic, mergers. construc-
ton of new lines and issuance of Sc
curities. >
Previously the Interstate Commerce
commission had suggested a policy of
private ownership and operation I'M
der government regulation.
Director General McAdoo had advo-
Gated continuation of government con
troll for five years and as an alterna-
tive early REIMBURSEMENT of the roads
from federal management.
Shippers to Present Views.
Shippers and representatives of
state railroad commissioners are the
two principal groups who have not
yet presented their views to the Sem
ate committee.
Among the objections expressed by
senators to the railroads plans, out
lined by T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
of the association of railway execu-
tives, was that If government super
vision were vested principally in a
secretary of transportation, politics
might play a large part in railway
policies, and there might be no con-
slant policy containing through the
changes of administration.
These questions were raised by Sen.
sators Cummins of Iowa and Smith OF
South Carolina. Another objection
was IL the railroads are guaranteed by
law an adequate return. they should
not also have power to determine
rates, even though these rates were
subject to veto by the secretary Of
transportation and modification by the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Senator Underwood of Alabama sug-
gested that the government should
have the authority to dictate details
of the rate structure.
