SANITARIUM AT RUSSELLyILLE
  One Arkansas Town Finds Way to Meet Real Problem.

Russellville, May 10.-The board oi directors for the Russellyille sanitari- um have selected a block of ground on the north side of West Main street for the location of the sanitarium, ard the directors are ready to advertise for bids for construction.
 The company has been incorporated for $15,00, fully subscribed, with Dr. R. l.. Smith, president; Fl. W. Pat rick, secretary, and J. #. Hoginsi treasurer. The blue prints have been prepared. The building will be of brick and stone, two stories high with basement, equipped with elevator and all modern conveniences. It will have modern operating room, sterilizing room, seventeen private rooms, one ward, sun porches, etc, with maxi mum accommodations for 25 pa tients.
 It is estimated the building will cost about $25 1000, the difference be- tween this amount and the capital stock to be carried by loan.

To Meet the Deficit of the U. s. Rail
 road Administration.

Washington, May 11.--One billion dollars will be needed to meet the de afeit of the Railroad Administration in the opinion of senator's and repre- sentatives who are assembling for the meeting of Congress. This sum will have to be appropriated as soon as Congress meets.
 In the closing hours of the last ses- sion an appropriation of $750,000,00 was asked for by Director General Hines and the appropriation failed to pass.
 The rapidity with which the deficit has increased will make an appropri- ation of one billion necessary now, senators and representatives believe.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa, who will be chairman of the Senate Committed on Interstate Commerce, expressed the view today that Congress will have to make the appropriation before taking time to discuss the general question as to what will be done with the railroads.

FOOD WILL MAKE
 GERMANY SIGN"
Vernon Kellogg. Food Administration Under Hoover, Gives Conclusions Following Survey of Conditions
 German workmen Won't Work.

New York, May 12.- -Hoover's slo- gan about food winning the war can be altered to Food will make Ger many sign upl" Vernon Kellogg says. He has just emerged from the defeat ed central empires, and is the first American official able to divuge the noal state of affairs there as to the food supplies. He made a survey for ahe American food administration, for which, during the war, he distributed food in Belgium and Northern France, under Hoover.
 "The food we are placing in the hands of the German government IS it's greatest source of power in stay- ing off Bolshevism," Kellogg said upon landing here. 'sThere is being sent now S70,000 tons of foodstutfs to Germany each month, including 300,- 900 tons of cereals and 10000 tons of xats. It is not bit more than she requires.
 .sWhen l left Germany there was talk of the delegates not signing the peace treaty, but l believe they will have to sign"
 aHunger, lack of employment and dissatisfaction with the government, gre what promote Bolshevism in Ger many" Kellogg says.
 Among statements and conclusions of his report are these:
 Altho the public does not see the armistice as military defeatg Ger many cannot resist the allies now.
 The Ebert government is com promise, with chaos as a result, for it embraces the most able and level headed men in Germany.
 Germany needs economic help to fnlfll peace conditions. Any fear of giving her life is idle, because Ger many can't compete with other na- tions in business for years.
 German labor won't work. Demo- bilized soldiers refuse to turn a hand, considering themselves the states wards. Best informed social scien- lists and labor leaders think the war has hurt German industrial charac- ter. and that the German will not again pitch in like the thrifty and in- dustrious fellow he was.
 Germany can't regain trade posi- tipn by dumping any surplus on the world with peace. That would require vast overproduction, and Germany is put to to restock her own shelves.
 sThe only method by which Ger many could be pulled out of her pres ent position Kellogg declares, would be for her workmen to work longer hours at lower wage than the work men of competing nations, to accept lower standards of life than they pos sessed before the war, and to assure a degree of industrial slavery entirely out of harmony with industrial condi tions elsewhere about in the world.
 'sTbis the German workman show' not the slightest disposition to under take"
 The peace conference has accede' to Kellogg's idea to send German! a4D,O00 tons of food per month. Ger many pays, he says, and with the al lies shares expenses of feeding under nourished children, special endeav or.
