HOW AMERICANS
STAY on THE JOB
The victorious Fifth" Loan Will Prove
That We Carry Out Task,
However Great.

The fifth Liberty loan will give the
army of patriotic buyers the chance
whcih all good Americans welcome
1t will let the millions Of buyers of
bonds prove that they are stayers. They
will show that they are determined to
finish a job to the very end, even so
great a job as a world war.
In April or May of this year the time
comes for the last chapter. The govern
ment cannot for moment drop the
great task upon which we entered in
April, 1917, until firm and lasting peace
is secured throughout the world.
1t cannot stop until the armies of oc-
cupation are brought home, Until then
the treasury department must borrow
from the people to fnahce the expense
of the war establishment. After that
our expense will come from taxes.
The reserves at home whose dollars
have fought with the men in the field
must mobilize now for rehabilitation of
the troops. They have stood by the ma
tion in time of stress. The critical pc.
Rod is past, but the work is yet to be
completed. Completing it rests on the
Victorious Fifth loan
The responsibilities OF the nation, like
its hopes, are as great as they were be-
fore the armistice brought the end of
the war.
Staying to the end means taking up
the fifth loan just as Pershing's men
fought through the Argonne forest
It lis backing the government to the
finish in the war loan that crystallizes
peace and prosperity.

HOUSE SERVANTS SCARCE.
England Is Not Now the Happy Hunting
Ground for Americans.

London, Feb, 20 correspondence of the
Associated Press Time was when
Americans, harassed by the servant
problem, came to England to live. Here
they could keep house in peace and sing
the virtues of English domestics, making
comparisons based on experience in the
United States with servants Of every
race and color. They declared that from
housekeepor and cook general to nurse
and between. maid the English serving
women had no peers--tiey worked hard.
er, better, longer hours, and with more
willingness and for less pay than ser
wants in any other part OF the world
Now many Of the Americans are re-
turning home. They have not modified
their notions about English servants,
but they simply cannot hire them any
more. England, as a result of the war
is having her own servant problem.
The trouble began when the servant
girls aocbed into war work. Household
ers were greatly Inconvenience and
large numbers closed up their dwellings
and moved into hotels. Others did their
own work, expecting the servants would
return when the war ended But the
fighting has been over a long time now,
scores of munition factories have closed
and still the girls have not returned to
their employment. Whether they ever
will return is a favorite subject of
gloomy speculation at many tea ia
bic
Of the hundreds of thousands of ser
want girls that responded to the call for
90 I
employment agencies, are going back to
domestic work. For 10. weeks they have
the S4.75 q week provided by the govern
ment until they find employment, but
unless the girls have homes to go to,
that is scarcely enough to shelter and
feed them.
Many with aptitude and skill will con-
tinue at factory work, taking the places
Of men killed or crippled in the war.
Thousands driven by Testlessness will
emigrate, it is believed, to America and
to the dominions to seek industrial en-
ployment not available to them here
Other thousands will marry soldiers
when the army is demobHized.
The majority, however, in the opinion
of employment agency officials will
sooner or later have to return to do
nestle service.
But, according TO a woman spokesman
for the girls, it was the taste of factory
life freedom even more than ovelty of
high wages that is the chief cause of
their present discomfort, She cited as
typical the conditions under which cham
bermads in big London hotel work.
"They receive" she said "l3 shilliugs
a week for a working day Of from 10 to
IS hours. Once a week they are allowed
off from o'clock in the afternoon until
1890 at night, alternate Sundays from
2 p. m. until 1890, and they are given
full day of once a month";
Efforts are being made, it is said, to
form a chambermaids' union for the pur-
pose Of securing shorter hours, better
food and working conditions and more
pay.

FRANCE HANDICAPPED
BY CAR SHORTAGE

in the Markets Of United

Paris, France, Feb 20 Correspondence
of the Associated Press France, as a
result of the war, finds itself short of
5000 locomotives and 100000 cars, while
the transportation material that is still
nominally on the active list is badly out
of repair. The shortage of rolling stock
has become very acute lately, for the
number of locomotives and cars out Of

creased since July last by 10 and 80 per
cent, respectively.
To meet the growing difficulties in the
matter of repairs, the state munition
factories at Lyons, Toulouse and Roanne
have, since the armistice, been turned
with all speed into railway repairing
shops.
The French government has long hes
itated to place orders in the United
States, where alone new rolling stock
could be procured, for fear of depressing
the French rate OF exchange unduly; but
the country's needs became so pressing
that orders have now been given, it is
understood, for purchasing 500 locomo-
tives and 81 900 cars, while p 900 Amer.
lean cars that were to have been shipped
to France for the use of the American
expeditionary force have also been
acquired.
Perhaps the biggest task before the
French transportation experts is the res

VERMONT TROLLEY LINES
LESS IN NET INCOME
Although They Carried More Passengers,
Their Operating Expenses Showed an
Increase COrrespOndingly Larger.

Washington, D. c., Feb 20.--Prelim.
mary figures of the forthcoming quin-
quennial report on the electric railways
OF the state of Vermont have been given
out by Director Sam. L. Rogers of the
bureau OF the census, department of
commerce. They were prepared under
the supervision of Eugene F. Hartley,
chief statistician for manufactures.

totals include electric light plants oper.
ated in connection with electric railways
and not separable therefrom. but do not

roads nor railways under construction.
The figures as presented for Vermont
show that during the decade 1907 1917
and the fve-year period l9l2-l9I7 there
were substantial gains in number of
passengers carried and in revenues from
railway operations but the marked in
crease in operating expenses for 1917 as
compared with 1912 has resulted in a de-
crease in net income. The companies
credited to the state-nine in 1917 and
1912 and 10 in l9l7-Operated 1907 95
miles of track in 1917, 1925 miles in
1912, and l24.3l miles in 1907, the fig
ures for 1907 include track operated by
outside companies in the later years.

was l25.47 in 1917, in comparison with
1908 in 1912 and 1898 in 1907. an in.
crease of 1917 per cent for the decade
The number of revenue passengers car
ried increased from 7,l030S2 in 1907 to
S,l35,725 in 1912 and to S,73S,37S in 1917,
the rate of increase for the decade being
20 per cent
The income from all sources increased
from S454,252 in 1907 to 1881 ,24l in 1912
and to SS75,05s in 1917, the rate of in
crease being 92.6 per cent for the decade
and 3S6 per cent for the ive.year period

come, comprising taxes, interest and
fixed charges, amounted to $239,724 in
1917, as compared with Sl699l2 in 1912
and $ll7, 60l in 1907. As a result the
net income, which was $22,sO6 in 1907
and Sll6,06l in 1912, decreased to $35 ,ssS
in 1917.
The electric power consumption
amounted to 2I,754, 4ss kilowatt hours
in 1917, of which 1901 $50 was gen

an increase of l42 per cent in electric
power consumption for 1917, as compared
with 1912.

Major General Biddle Was
Not Exempt from
Warning
THAT HE WAS WEARING
FUR ON HIS RAINCOAT
Archbishop C. H. Brent of
Boston Also Violated
the Rule

London, Feb. ID correspondence of the
Associated Press Major General Bid
die, commanding American forces in Eng
land, has been good naturally, but firmly
reminded by sergeant of the military
police that he was not conforming to
regulations of dress. Likewise Archbish-
op c, H. Brent of Boston, an army chap
lain, and Colonel John c, Groom, at one
time head of the military police in
France, have been numbered among
many officers who have been called
down" for not adhering strictly to uni
form regulations.
Fur is not allowed anywhere on the
American uniform. But in choosing a
new raincoat, General Biddle selected one
with a very comfortable fur collar. The
first time he stepped out of the en-
trance of American headquarters into an
automobile waiting to take him to keep
an official appointment he was stopped
by the military policeman at the door.
General, | must inform you that the
fur collar you are wearing is a viola
ton of uniform regulations" the ser
geant said.
The best the general could do was to
smile and hurry into the car, as he was
late for his appointment, but the fur
collar is no longer on the coat
Archbishop Brent also erred as,regards
fur collars.
Colonel Groom on coming over from
Paris acquired a cane, evidently inhu-
enced by the almost universal custom
among British officers. When entering
headquarters he was told that officers
were not allowed to carry canes, and
when he left he was conforming to the
regulations.
