Washington. March 7.---Ofticials Of
the Working Conditions Service, Dc
partmcnt Of Labor, and members of
the National Safety Council are work
ing out an educational program de-
signed to bring safety instruction into
engineering courses in colleges.
1t is the belief Of safety experts
that by bringing safety methods to
the attention Of men who will later
occupy executive or technical posi-
lions in mining and engineering en-
terprises, considerable reduction in
industrial accidents will be made pos
sible. Because engineering courses
are already so well filled. it will be

GREAT PROSPERITY

Analogy Between Conditions in

(By Carrot Snith.)

Are we of America to enjoy buSl-

those in touch with large affairs. 1t

believe that Immediate prosperity
awaits us.
Such d view is presented by the
Guaranty Trust company of New
York in an analysis of conditions in
1865. at the close of the Civil war,
compared with the situation in 1913,
reaching conclusions Illuminating and
optimistic
At Appamatox the country faced
apparent business ruin. Hundreds of
thousands of soldiers had TO be reab-

SOLDIERS GET GOOD CARE.
Wounded Men in Russia Are Well
Protected from Cold.

London, March 6, via Montreal
Allied soldiers wounded in the fight
ing along the Thurman coast front are
cared for most efficiently, according
10 a Reuters dispatch. Dog teams
and reindeer take the wounded men
from the front to KEN, where they
are placed on a train which takes
them to Murmansk. There they arc
distributed TO medical aid posts, scat
tered over the country in armhouses
and In tents
Before being taken to the rail head,
the wounded men are placed in deep
skin bags and have hot water bottles
placed about them. These bags are
so designed that a patient can be
treated without exposure to the Sc

All of the soldiers wear clothing de-
signed by Sir Ernest Shackleton, and
few cases Of frostbite have been re-
ported.

The fall in prices W2s due not

the increasing volume of business. The
comparative steadiness of the upward
swing IL business from early in the
war until 1872. in the face of wide

prices in both directions, shows that
the prosperity Of the period rested OF
more substantial foundations than tho

And this expansion had begun Wcll
before the outbreak Of the war, Rail
roads had passed the cxpcrim entail
stage and by 1850 it was evident that
they would occupy the dominant posi-
ton in inland transport. Previous to
that year only 1000 miles of railway
had been constructed in this country
but in the following decade 1900
miles were added. While most new
mileage was in the older sections east
and south, some lines were pushing
westward. Rails reached Chicago in
1853, st. Louis in 1855 and the Mis-
souri, river in the northwest throo
years later.

plans to leave Friday for Brest, pre-

States. There was a possibility, how
ever, that his steamer might not leave
before Sunday. The Presidents party
will include Earl Reading, French

Paris, Feb. Japan has reiterat-
ed her intention to hold the Marshall

which she took from Germany during
the war, as well as to insist upon the
execution Of her agreement reached
in September last, with China regard
ing S%hantung. A formal statement to
this effect by Japanese representatives
has been made public here.
To meet doubts cast upon it's au-
thority, the Chinese delegation has
published ~cablegrams received from
Shanghai. the provincial Legislature of
Shantung and the Chinese society for
a league of nations at Picking.

These ~cablegrams overwhelmingly
favor the activities of the delegation
and direct that there be restitution to
China of properties in Shantung.
Evidence of President Wilson's in
tention not to abandon the peace con-
ference upon the ratification of the
Society of Nations plan was found in
the disclosure that he plans to re-
turn from Washington to Paris by
