AMERICA PROHIBITS
PLANT IMPORTATION

Brussels, June IL, Correspondence
of the Associated Press. THE city of
Client, which is noted for its magnifi-
cent botanic garden, is greatly con
cerned over the ruling of the Ameri-
can Department of Agriculture, pro-
hibiting the importation of live plants
wing to danger of insect infection.
It is stated that this will mean a year
ly loss of business amounting to
two million francs.
AS no shipments have been made to
America for the last three years, it
is felt that Americans have no proof
as to the existence of insect menace
and the authorities have requested
through the consular channels that an
American expert be sent to Client to
test the soil and plants, in the hope
that the prohibition will be with
drawn.

LOSS ON RAILROADS
PUT At S150,OOO,OOO
Deficit From Government Opera
tions May be Wholly Made
Up by July.

Washington. Jan. 2-The govern
ment's loss in operating the railroads IN
1918 is calculated by Railroad Admins
tration officials at less than $50 100000.
This represents the difference between
the aggregate amount the governmcn,
will pay the railroad companies as rental
for the properties the so-called g,iararl-
teed return-and the net income which
the government will receive from the
railroads.
1t will take six months morei of re-
coipts from the increased freight rates
10 permit the government To recoup It's
losses. officials believe. IT Congress
does not approve the proposed fve-year
extension OF Federal control, and 1t, as
n consequence, President Wilson carries
out his announced intention ot return
ing the roads to private management at
an early date, the governments loss
will not be made up.
This deficit does not include the big
sum-bctween $3.50, 100000 and $500
600 OO0--which has been loaned to raul
roads to help them pay for the extensive
program of Improvements and purchase
| of new cars and locomotives. These
| loans will be repaid eventually.
The governments loss cannot be
| stated exactly until the compensation Of
| until the Interstate Commerce Com
| mission complies figures on earnings
| and expenses for November and De
! rcmber. Officials believe, however, that
/ the aggregate government compensation
| for All roads will be about $3.50 900, 900,
| and that the net income from railroad
operations credited to the government
will be a little more than $500 900, 900.
For ten months up to Nov. !, the gov
! crument's net income from the rail-
! roads. as reported by the Interstate
| Commerce Commission, was S605. 900, ,O0O
Operating revenues for the entire year,
