Heavy Wage Increase.

Washington, Jan. 23.--Railroads in
1918 under Government control and
unusual war conditions earned about
s713, 0O0, 900. or S250,O00,OO0 less than
in 1917. $4,000. 100000 less than in
the record year of 1916 and about the
same as in 1915.
This became apparent today on the
basis Of definite reports TO the Inter
state Commerce Commission OF earn
ings OF l95 principal railroads-those
having annual operating revenues Of
more than $1,000, ,000--for eleven
months and unofficial calculation of
December earnings, which Railroad
Administration reports indicate will
be considerably smaller than those of
the preceding months Although sub.
ject to slight revision, the figures af-
forded the first public view Of the re.
suits OF railway operations last year,
so far as earnings are concerned.
Receipts from freight, passenger
express and other transportation dur

HOW "Ho6EY" BAKER DIED
Used Last Trip to Try Out Repaired
EnQinc

Princeton, n. j.. Jan 23.-The first
detailed account OF how Capt.
"Hobey" Baker. former Princeton
athlete. met his death in France. for.
ty-five minutes after his release from
service, has been received IN letter
written by Lieut. Edward c. Olds, who
was Adjutant on the staff OF the
Second Army Air Service, to which
Captain Baker belonged. Captain
Baker was killed near Toul on De
cembe. 81.
Lieutenant Odds wrote that after be-
ing released Baker decided to take n
final short trip in his Spad There
was a ship in his hangar belonging to
one OF his officers, the engine of which
had gone bad few days ago the
letter said 1T had been repaired and
Captain Baker decided to use his last
trip to test out the repaired machine
Both his officers and mechanics
strongly urged him not to do so, bul
he insisted. He was UP only 15t
metres when the engine failed. He
dropped rapidly and, II he had con
tinued straight ahead would have
landed in some small trees and wires
However, he did what so many good
aviators do just once too often--ht
tried to get back into the field, noset
down to gain headway, started into {
vrille and crashed, being almost in
stantly killed.
He was buried near Major Luf
berry in the little American cemetery

APPEAL TO WOMEN
To Complete the Orders for War
Work

Boston, Jan. 24-Our soldiers and
sailors have fought to make de-
mocracy safe for the world. The ap-
palling and appealing condition of
the civil population in Europe added
zest and irresistible determination to
their fighting qualities. Today these
peoples are without clothing and the
weather Is cold
am told that in many OF our
chapters it is difficult to obtain wo-
men to make garments which the
French and Belgium people have
asked us to give them. If our sol
diers were willing to lay down theiI
lives to aid the civil population, are
the women of New England going tC
fall in carrying on the work which
these men have made possible?
The completion of the orders Civ
en- out by the New England Division
will mean the saving Of many human
lives This Is the last big construc
tive piece of work on our war pro
gramme, and New England has ye
to report any failure in her share o
war work.

there was no debt After the 1914
fair there was a debt of $3.50 This

to rain on the second day and the
erection OF new buildings at a cos
OF $500 In 1916 about $4,000 hat
been spent when the board Of healtl
stopped all fairs on account of infan
I tile paralysis.
A similar experience was undergone
in 1917 and the worst kind of rainl
weather at the 1918 fair caused
shortage Of $4,000 that year Th'
debt is within few thousand dol
lars OF the assets OF the association
