It is almost a certainty that the

seating capacity and mileage OF
the combined automobiles of the
country are far less than that OF
all the passenger trains Of the ma
ton, A few authentic figures,
however, will serve to prove this
an illusion, and to show that the
nations automobiles, in point OF
mileage and carrying capacity,
greatly exceed the railroads.
The figures show that there are
100000 automobiles in use in
the United States today. This in
dicates that at an average mileage
of 5000, which is low, the total
mileage equals 18,0O0,0OO,OOO
mills per annum, which multiplied
by an average of three passengers
means the total passenger mileage
is 54,O0O,OOO,O00.
The passenger mileage of auto
biles exceeds that of the railroads

show that the official railroad pas

How" I asked. would Germany feel

an international commission for a
period of ten or twenty years, with
the understanding that il a strong re-
publican government were built UP and
found to function satisfactorily they
would pass once more under German
control?"
Il do not think such an arrangement
would be impossible if this supervis-
ion was to be handled in a manner
tolerable from the standpoint of fair
play" he said "At least from ma
terial point Of view Germany has no
intention of following colonial methods
which would conflict with humanity
and the legitimate interests of the ma

prohibition of all traffic in alcoholic
beverages and she suggested that in
the event of the European war such

last point was brought out to show
that the militarization of Germany
was never intended to extend to her
colonial possessions and that now

adopted. Finally he pointed out that

equations which their physical con-
dition will enable them to perform.
One armless boy referred to this

other said he knew of men at the hos
pital who prefer to get out as soon
as possible and map out their own
plans for the future.
Men who were interviewed spoke
resentfully of the strict discipline
which they said is maintained at the
hospital. One told of having been
taken to the guardhouse the other
night for getting in at five minutes
after twelve. He said he left down
town in ample time, but the street
cars became stalled.

German Officials Hopes.

In this interview. which was of my
own seeking, 1 give the discussion
as it occurred. With regard to the
failure of Herr Gerhard to give di-
rect answer TO the first question I
will say this: There is certainly an
idea among certain government Off
Gals that Germany may be able to
provide for colonial development
through the readjustment of overseas
possessions. They hope that some
sort of an exchange of territory may
be brought ABOUT which will be ad-
vantageous to the nations concerned
from a geographical point of view. I
am not sure as to what details have
been discussed, but I am sure that
it is on some such arrangement that
Germany pins her hope for a salts
factory settlement.

Officials Deny Charges.

Of1cials OF the hospital differ from
these soldier patients regarding the
complaints. They emphatically deny
that well men are being detained at
the institution. They deny also the
charge made by few of the soldiers
that patients on the way to recovery
are required to perform 1aborious
tasks about the reservation.
Col. Shriner, commandant of the hos
pital, when asked today about the
truth of these reports, said they have
no doubt come from some of the poor
fellows who are improving slowly and
who are growing restless and impa-
tient. He made 1t plain. though that
the authorities are only too anxious
to discharge the men where their con-
dition absolutely warrants it.
'The medical staff Of this hospital"
Col Shriner stated. sis far better quail
if1ed to determine when patient is
ready to be discharged than is the
patient himself. That goes without
saying. Most of the patients here are
undergoing reconstruction treatment
apd it is slow and tedious affair. Re-
garding the mentally afflicted men I
can only say that we are required by
law to keep them here for certain
period before either discharging them
or else sending them to an ASYLUM.

SOLDIERS WOULD
LEAVE HOSPITAL
Many at Walter Reed Com
plain of Being Kept After
Fully Recovering.
OFFICERS DENY CHARGE

That soldiers from overseas under
treatment at Walter Reed Army Gen.
eral Hospital are kept there longer
than necessary is the charge made
by a number of these men.
They contend that they have long
since entirely recovered from their
injuries or illnesses. but that their
appeals for discharges. that they
might return to their homes, are un-
needed and they are forced to remain.
Like Penitentiary, He Says.
One big husky Ohio overseas in
fantryman said it was just like being
in a penitentiary. He was built like
Jim Jeffries and appeared to be just
about as strong and healthy. He said
he was sent to Walter Reed upon his
return from France to be treated
from rheumatism.
During the three weeks he has idled
away at the latter institution he has
been told by every surgeon who has
examined him that he did not have
rheumatism and that he should not
have been sent there. However. this
man has been unable to be transfer
red, he said.
Another infantryman. who said he
Is longing TO return TO MS nome IN
Georgia and who contended that he
is 100 per cent stronger and healthier
than when he entered the Army more
than a year ago, said he was sent to
Walter Reed to be treated for some
form of blood trouble, but that he has
been unsuccessful thus far in finding
a doctor who has been able to discov-
er why he should have been sent there
in the first place.
Like the lad with the Jim Jeffries'
build, he has not been successful in
convincing those in charge that he
should be discharged. At least, this is
his claim. A number of the men who
lost either an arm or leg have griey-
ances somewhat the same.

Give Limited Burroughs.

I'VE are not discharging men from
this hospital until we are satisfied that
their condition warrants it," Col
Shriner said. I'm some instances, how
ever. we have given recuperating pa
tients limited burroughs when we are
convinced that a-journey would not
be harmful. Sometimes we discharge
reconstruction patients when we are
guaranteed that their parents or rela-
tives are financially able to afford the
same high surgical treatment that
they would receive here"
Other officers at the hospital stated
that there had been no evidence about
the hospital of dissatisfaction among the
men. II they were complaining on the
outside, they said it was simply an evil
dence of ingratitude on the part Of the
recuperating soldiers
1t was explained further that the only
work. the recuperating patients per-
form is that in connection with the
reconstruction work. This. the officers
a hardship. 1t is pointed out that it
is by this means that men with an
arm or leg missing, or with other
severe bodily injuries. are taught to
make themselves proficient in various
forms of work despite their permanent
affections.
On the other hand. little artillery
man, who said he had been sent to
this hospital to be treated for gun
shot wounds in the hapd, criticised
the institution for the severe punish
ment Of patients for overstaying their
liberty. He said men are fined from
IS to $40 for being from ten minutes
to three hours late in returning to
the reservation at night. He said
also that many wounded men have
been kept unnecessarily long in the
guardhouse as punishment for over
staying their liberty.

All the men interviewed said they
knew of comrades who have been at
the hospital q long time since they
have been feeling in health and able
to go home.
