PRESIDENTS WARNING
TO THE RAILWAY MEN

washington, Aug. 15.--Here Is
the keynote Of President Wilson'S
statement TO the railway employees
department OF the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor today:
we are face to face with a situa-
ton which In more likely to affect
the happiness and prosperity, and
even the life OF our people than the
war itself
We have now got to do nothing
less than bring our industries and
our labor OF every kind back to a
normal basis after the greatest up
feavai known to history. And the
winter just ahead of US may bring
suffering Infinitely greater than the
war brought upon Ms II we blunder
or fail in the process.
An admirable spirit Of self sacri-
nee. Of patriotic devotion and OF
community action guided and In
spired us while the fighting was on.
We shall need all these now. and
need them in a heightened degree.
IL we are to accomplish the first
tasks OF peace.
They are more difficult than the
tasks Of war--more complex and
less easily understood-and require
more intelligence. patience, and So
briefly.
we mobilized our man-power for
the lighting. let US now mobilize
our brain-power and our con :
sciences for the reconstruction. II
we fail, It will mean national dis
aster.

SNOW AND WIND INTERFERE

WAY TRAFFIC.

This section has been wind and
storm swept for the past "a hours, af-
fecting business and railroad traffic.
Until last night snow filled the air,
and being whipped by cold chilling
winds, filled cuts to such a degree
that east and west train service was
greatly impeded. The morning trains
came in behind regular schedule, the
one from the west not making Mad
ison until 10 o'clock. The east and
sout htrains were over two hours be-
hind time yesterday afternoon. Dur
ing this period the thermometer
dropped down to s to 10 below, but
today the weather is m~oderating bid
ding fair to introduce warmer days
ahead. 1t is reported that giant
drifts were encountered on the east
Milwaukee line, some of them 10 to
Is feet high. A crew from Sioux
Falls cleared the south track early
this morning therefore the train
south experienced no difficulty in
getting through.

YANKS MADE CHANGES IN RAIL.
WAY SERVICE.

Mitchell, Feb. 2S.-The A. L. f.
has changed things in France and
changed for the better in the last
year and a half, writes Sergt. Win
field Wilt, son of G.. b. Wilt, of this
city, from Brest, where he is attached
to the headquarters company. In the
matter of transportation alone, Sergt.
Wilt asserts, the A. E. F. have proven
their right to a place in the sun.
"A year ago when we left Brest,"
he writes, 1--WE were loaded into little
French box cars. The cars were all
worn out, there were no doors or
windows and we were packed in like
SO many cattle. The engines were
small and we just crawled along. A
French engineer ran the engine and
the train rev was French, and alto
gether VIZ did not have a very sweet
time of it.
To-day when a troop train pulled
into Brest things were different. The
cars were all big and new. They
were painted blue and labeled with
a big U. S. A. The cars had all been
made in America, as had the big loco
motive which was drawing them
The engineer was a Yank and SO was
the fireman. So was the brakemer
and when the train a finally load
ed, the conductor yelled "all aboard
in the good old American way. They
are running these trains regularly
now. Each train has a cook car and
real American darkies preside owe
them. Hot meals are served at al
hours. And believe me there il
some difference"

WOMEN IN

Woman's power in America is well
illustrated by the thousands of wom-
en- who entered almost every line of
business to replace men who were
drafted during the war. Health
proved their strongest asset. Many
women, however, developed weak,
stand the strain of a business life.
Such women should remember there

restoring health and strength to the
women of America.
