Harrlsonburg, Va, March Sir
cult court was engaged all day yes
terday in hearing the damage case
OF Wilbert Roger against the admin
fstratrix OF the late G, G. Royer. the
plaintiff claiming that the estate Of
the deceased Roger is due him the
sum OF about $4,000 for the caro- and
attention he gave the old man for
five years before his death. which oc-
curred last spring near Goods Mil.
Roger claims to have given up a
good position in Illinois to come back
TO Virginia and care for the deceased,
who was a distant relative. He says
he cared for the old man for the past
five years, or aince he received n
stroke OF paralysis In 1914, from
which he was practically helpless up
until his death last spring.
On the other hand the administra-
trfx of the estate claims that Will
bert Roger did nothing more than
live at the Roger home; that the
mans condition was such that he re-
'quired no nursing except for a few
weeks. following the times he was
paralyyed and that the sum asked for
nursing him is exhorbitant

GERMANY To COMPLY
WITH ALLIES DEMANDS

Berlin, Sept. 1e.-Cermany Will
comply with the demand Of the allied
supreme council to declare null and
void the objectional parag1 aph In
the German constitution looking to
Austrias union with Germany and
providing for Austrian representation
n the German rechstrat, or council
of the realm, which may be compared
10 our senate.
Though 1t is maintained that the
allied demand does violence to the
self determination of peoples, which
is one of the fundamental principles
IN Presiden wilson fourteen points,
and The foreign relations com mittee
Is celebrating to the allied note, 1t
can be said that the German govern
ment considers itself helpless to OPP
pose The allied demand.
Several members of the cabinet are
for letting the allies carry out the
threat to occupy Frankfort on the
Main in the event Of Germanys re-
fusal, but the majority appears to be
for sending delegates 10 Paris en-
powered in the name OF the govern
ment TO make a protocol complying
with the supreme councils demand.

RUSH REPAIR WORK
ON FREIGHT CARS

washington, Sept. 16.--Walker d.
Hines, director-general of railroads,
today authorized the following state
ment relative to the freight car situa-
ton:
Current discussion Of car shortages
and related questions makes 1t impor-
tant to bring to the attention OF the
public the fact that, contrary to what
seems to be the public assumption,
conditions in the respect are substan-
TALLY more favorable than they were
in recent years prior to'the war.
On August /, 1917. the total car
SURPRISES reported throughout the
country were 43.4s1 cars, whereas on
August /, 1919. the total car surpluses
were 1O7,900. The total number OF I'M
filled car acquisitions on August i,
1917, was 1921, whereas the total
number of untitled car acquisitions on
August /, 1919, was only 1921.
The number Of freight cars in serv--
ice and not withdrawn for repairs on
July /. 1917, was 1,9S3.000. The num-
Der of freight cars In service and not
withdrawn for repairs on July !. 1919,
was 2,O65.000.
The very fact of unified control Of
all the railroads has tended to con-
centrate the comments upon any in
ability to perform one hundred per
cent of the transportation required,
but the foregoing figures show that the
situation during and at the end of
July, 1919, was very much better than
in the corresponding period in 1917.
II is believed this fact ought to be
borne in mind by the public in ap-
praising the existing car service con-
ditions.
The extent to which freight cars
have been repaired in recent months
has been the subject OF some comment.
The number of freight ears repaired
and returned to service by months
during the present calendar year has
been as follows:
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1919-09-17


OF over 600 per day.

authorizing the N following statement
relative to the scar situation IN the
United States:
The railroad administrator IL fully
alive to the importance Of the car sup
ply situation in the United States and

"Instructions have been issued to all

2. To secure heavier loading OF

3. To establish and maintain COM

4. To reduce the number Of bad or
