IL has been estimated that the sum

naval men who will be given frequent

there is expected to be a big demand
for the facilities offered. The club has
never been run as money-making

many officers and enlisted men who
would take advantage of the service

an even break.

PUBLIC POLL FOR
 RETURN OF RAILS
(BY EDWARD 4. N1OREE.) Manager, Press Service Company

Public opinion is very strongly in favor of an early return of the rail- roads to their owners, as shown by the vote of nearly 5000 editors of daily and weekly newspapers throughout the country. A questionnaire sent to every editor in the country Q3,42D brought replies from 5,922. or A per cent, and s3 per cent. of the editors reported their communities in favor of a resumption of private manage ment.
 The questionnaire was conducted on behalf of the Association of Railway Executives, and was completed before President Wilson announced in his recent message to Congress that the Government would relinquish control of the railways at the end of the year.
 Editors were asked not to give their personal opinions. but to appraise the sentiment in their communities. The four chief questions were as follows:
 1.-Does public opinion in your judgment seem to favor the return of railroads to private ownership and operation soon as this can prop erly be accomplished?
 Eff so, is this opinion in part based on the desire to see competition in service and facilities restored?
 3.-What is the present sentiment in your community on government ownership and operation of rail- roads?
 4.-what has been the feeling re- garding the proposal to extend the period of government operation for five years?
 On the first question, Does public opinion in your judgment seem to favor the return of railroads to pri- vate ownership and operation as soon as this can properly be accomplish ed?" S3 per cent. voted yes, II per cent. voted no, while per cent. were doubtful and 2 per cent. expressed no
 opinion.
 On the second question, "If so, is this opinion in part based on the de-
 sire to see competition in service and facilities restored?' 75 per cent.
 voted yes, 6 per cent. voted no, with and 4 per cent. doubtful and blank respectively.
 On the third question, What is the present sentiment in your community on government ownership and opera
 tion of railroads?" 7s per cent. esti-
 mated public sentiment as against government ownership, II per cent for. with per cent. doubtful and I per cent. blank.
 On the fourth question, What has
 been the feeling regarding the pro- posal to extend the period of gov ernment operation for five years ?'' the vote was as follows: Against, "A | per cent; for, 10 per cent; doubtful per cent; blank. per cent.

ample, although only of the 331 editors replying are Republicans, the number in favor of a return of the roads is SS per cent. considerably higher than the percentage (S4 per cent) in the strong Republican State of Pennsylvania.
 Tennessee voted 97 per cent. as compared with s3 per cent. in Maine.
 Of the 5,922 replies. 2,O52 were from Republican papers, 1889 from Democratic, and 2,1S1 independent and scattering.
 The States showing 95 per cent. or more in favor of the return of the roads are Connecticut, 97; New Hampshire, 100; Tennessee, 97.
 The strongest sentiment against government ownership was found to be in New England and the South. sections widely apart in political sen timent. Only 1 per cent. of New Eng land editors and per cent. of Southern editors reported their peo- pie favoring government ownership.
 On the question of the return of the roads the New England editors voted 91 per cent. in favor, 6 per cent. no, with per cent. doubtful and blank.
 In the North Atlantic States (New : aware. Mary1and) SC per cent. esti- mated public opinion as favoring the return of the roads, while ' per cent. thought public sentiment opposed It with per cent. doubtful and blank.
 In the Southern States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississip- pi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia. West Virginia) ell editors (S7 per cent) voted yes, ' per cent. no and per cent. doubt full and blank.
 In the Great Lakes States (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, 1,O32 editors (34 per cent) decided that public opinion in their communi- ties favored the return of the roads while 125 (10 per cent.) voted no; 5 per cent doubtful and blank.
 The Northwest (owa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota. South Dakota, Wyoming) returned 80 per cent. in favor and 13 per cent opposed out of a total of 1,165 re- plies. This result is largely in- fluenced by the government owner ship sentim ent in North Dakota.
 The editors of the Far West (Ari- zona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado. Utah Washington voted 79 per cent. yes and 15 per cent. no on the question of returning the roads to the1. owners.
 The Southwest (Arkansas, Louis jana, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma Texas) returned 1,196 replies. Oi these 976 or 82 per cent. favored the return of the roads while 153 or 12 per cent. opposed 1t, with 67 or 5 pel cent doubtful and blank.

This conversation, or one like it, Is
taking place these days between hun.
dreds Of pals in the service, or Just

ties have been experienced by soldiers
In getting the bonds for which they
have paid.
To overcome this condition the
American Red Cross has come to the
Fescue All any soldier who wants his
bond needs to do henceforth is to fn.
form a, representative OF the Red
Cross. Practically any contingency
causing delay has been guarded
against The soldier must give the
representative all the information he
can and leave the rest to the associa.
tion, which will take up the matter
and see that prompt delivery Is made
through registered mail
The method is this, in brief: The
soldier assigns the delivery of his
bond to the Red Cross representative.

Of the zone finance office and delivers
It to the owner.
