low Of water-thats all. In the morn

WATERWAYS DEPEND
ON RAILROADS, M'ADOO
Former Director Says U. S. Con.
troll Must Extend Five Years.

Santa Barbara, Cal. Jan. 1.-The fu
ture of the nations waterways 'is alb
solutely dependent" upon government
operation of waterways and railways
as a co-ordinated and articulated sys-
tenn.
This word was sent to Albert Krall,
of the Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce today, by William G. McAdoo,
former Secretary of the Treasury and
Director General of Railroads.
"It seems to me futile to expend
great sums Of money on the develop
ment of our inland waterways. unless
our government adopts an intelligent
policy about railroad control" Nc
Adoo added.
McAdoo's telegram was sent in de-
clining an invitation to an inland wat
erways meeting at Defiance, Ohio. He
declared that unless a five-year period
of railroad control is provided the gov
errment cannot successfully develop
the waterways.

PENROSE SAYS PINCHOT
CHARGES ARE FALSE
Senator Replies to Open Letter
Demanding Withdrawal.

''Maliciously false" was the answer
yesterday of Senator Penrose to Gif-
ford Pinchot, who wrote Penrose an
open letter Sunday urging Penrose to
withdraw as a candidate for chair
man of the Senate Finance Commit
tee.
II deem Mr.. Pinchot's open letter
hardly worthy of a reply from me,
said PenroSe." THE charges it con-
tains are either naliciously false or
relate to matters fairly threshed out
in the last Senatorial campaign,
when my plurality equalled the votes
my opponents got. l know of no re-
sponsible political party in the United
States that would welcome Mr.. Pin
chot to its ranks"
In his letter Pinchot said Penrose
represented all that was worst in
American public life.

Every effort to facilitate the work
of the welcome home committee was
promised Col Robert n. Harper by

Col. Harper explained that arrange
ments have been made through Gen.
Richard R. Simms whereby the Nd
tionaI Guard OF the District will
provide officers for these men.

The attention of the Secretary was
drawn to Company of the 321st

would be an appropriate occasion
to welcome the famous Forty-sec-
ond, or Rainbow Division. in which
are many local boys.

Hum anity.
Every mother, every father. every
wife or sweetheart of an American
who has given a loved one in the
great struggle against autocracy
should see The Heart of Humanity
at Isoew's Palace this week. Yes,
there's war in it-there are scenes that
make you forget you are anywhere
but right on the battlefields Of France.
YOu want to go over the top dozen
times with the brave Canadians OF
whom the hero is one. You instinc-
lively cringe at the unspeakable afro
cities of the Huns, but you never for
get that Nannette, played by Dorothy
Phillips. loves her soldier husband, her
baby and the little home in Canada.
This Is a war picture that has a real
story in which love. pathos, humor,
frightfulness, all have sway.
Those who have followed movies to
the point where photography enters
into the value of the picture will find
no disappointment in this one. The
camera man has inserted many beau

bring Canada most favorably before

minute playing the part of Nannette's

picked. everyone doing his part to
make the realism of the picture COM

It is not often that an audience ap-
plauds continuously at a moving pic

appreciation punctuated the play.
All in all. the Palace has done well
to book this feature. AS Al. Jolson
might remark, You forget you paid

you love and you hate as you are led
through the intensely interesting story
of this feature, which is sure to live

RUSH MEASURE
/ TO RETIRE AGED
Representative Sims Will
Ask for Special Ruling
Today.

Request for a special ruling, per-
mitting the McKellar-Keating retire
ment bill to come up for consideration
at this session of Congress, will be
made today in the House by Repre-
sentative Sims.
Friends of the bill fear that if il is
allowed to go on the calendar to be
called in regular order that the pres
ent congestion of legislation before
both bodies of Congress will prevent
a vote until next session.
The retirement bill was reported fa-
vorably in the House yesterday by the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, and Chairman
Sims announced that he would call
for the special ruling.
The bill provides for the retirement
of the majority of Civil Service en-
ployes at a maximum annual pension
of $500. The report, submitted by the
House Committee, states that about
50 per cent of those retired will re-
ceive the maximum and that the aver
age annuity would be about 500. There
is no minimum.
Majority Eligible.
The majority of Civil Service en-
ployes will be eligible for retire
ment at IS years of age; mechanics,
city and rural letter carriers at 65,
and railway mail clerks at So
Postmasters and employees of light
houses and coast guard services are
not included. Retirement will be
compulsory ten years after the law
goes into effect.
The committee emphasized the fact
that the enactment of the bill will
materially increase the efficiency of
the government service pointing out
that the present custom of retaining
aged employees meant that the gov
ernment was practically paying a
pension. much more costly than the
one provided for in the bill
1t was stated that at present more
than 1900 employees would be eligible
for immediate retirement, employees
who, because of their age. were un-
able to give the best service to the
government.
The fund for the payment of the
pensions is to be raised partly by the
government and partly by the en-
ployes themselves. a tax of two and
one-half per cent to be levied on the
salaries of employees. The unqualified
approval of the employees federation.
the American Federation of Labor,
has been given to the project.
