tionalizing British railways, explained
to the Dundee chamber of commerce
the reasons for the proposed step.
Owing to the enormous debt with
which the country had been burdened
by the war, he said, relief measures
on big scale were required.
"The three parent factors Of a
country's welfare" he continued, "are
lend, communications and power, and
the three children food, housing and
manufacture. So long as the rail
ways are in private hands they may
be used for immediate profit. In the
hands of the state, however, 1t might
be wise or evpedient to run them at
a loss II they develop industry, place
the trader in closer contact with his
market, and stimulate development.
you cannot organize the great
questions of land settlement, new In.
dustries, and the extension of produc-
ton, unless the state has control OF
the means OF transportation"
A mass OF information about the
railways is already available, he said,
and. a large part of the task OF ma
! tionalization has automatically &C
complished itself. Il think it highly
improbable" he went on, that action
ION this vital matter can be delayed
until a royal commission has wandered
about"
Explaining to the press a bill which
the Railroad Naturalization Society
has prepared, Emil Davies, the chair
man, said it provides for the acquisi
ton of all railway stocks and shares
at their mean market price during th'

NCLE SAM HAS BILLIONS Of
GOODS LEFT OVER FROM WAR

Now that the war is over Uncle Sam
finds himself the possessor OF a large
amount of goods that he will not
need. There may have been some
reckless buying in the accumulation
of the vast amount of supplies ne finds
now left over, but be that as 1t may
the fact remains that he has them on
hand and some disposition must be
made of them. lie remains to be seen
whether the disposition of them will
be as reckless as their purchase. A
partial list of the things he has left
over is as below:
100000 cans of tomatoes.
100000 cans of corn
100000 cans of pork and beans.
26.OO0,OOO yards of duck.
4,S00,00O cotton coats.
100000 wooden coats.
100000 leggins.
100000 pairs of shoes.
| 100000 miscellaneous hats.
100000 pairs of mittens.
100000 bed sacks.
36,000,000 pairs of summer and win
ter underwear.
100000 summer undershirts.
$4,000 automobile trucks.
100000 pounds of horseshoes.
100000 toothbrushes.
100000 shovels.
These goods will be disposed Of il
a manner that will cause as little de
moralization as possible. Some will
be used to supply the needy in Bel
GUM, some sold to Russia and othe
foreign countries.

Nearly every child in the United

But do you know that the statue

named Frederick Auguste Barthordi,
and given to our country by France,
and was erected on Bedloes Island in
the harbor in 1886?
The immense bronze figure of Lib
erty, that stands few inches more
than Ill feet, was designed for the
one hundredth anniversary of Ameri
can independence, which was cele
brated in 1876. 1t took many years
to make this statue, and 1t was moi

Interviews Published BY British Pc
pers Present Ideas

London, Jan. 20.-Some of the
$4,000 sailors, who visited London be-
fore leaving for home, told the Brit
ish journalists what they thought of
the metropolis.
81 like your town all right" one is
quoted as saying, "but you haven't
enough restaurants. Even in small.
American town every street has got
EN- in punches of fives." Other COM
ments were:
Your transportation about town
isn't up to standard, but I suppose
that's the war"
"London's more like an American
city than Edinburgh, and the people
are all right. You are not modern
| though, as We are. see your girls
have got their hair bobbed-why, our
girls had that done ten years ago?
"The people are real. friendly. We
like your burg, but your climate Is
rotten.
"The big difference between Eng
land and the States is your ladies.
You can speak to a lady here, high
or low without getting into trouble.
II you spoke to lady in America,
you'd be arrested. There's something
where you are more democratic than
we are.
The British interviewer said he
hoped the American boys wouldn't
take home any wrong ideas about
English girls based on some of those
encountered in the Strand aud in Pic
cadilly Circus.
MAKE no mistake about that" the
sailor treasured him. I'VE know all
about it, We've got to know fine
girls here, and heightened ones, too,
and we don't want the other sort. y
He said the boys with the American
battleship squadron in the Firth OF
Forth got on well with the English
sailors of the Grand fleet. 1--WE gave
them vaudeville show" he related,
land they gave us concert"
This sailor" the interviewer re-
marked in his article, gave me some
sound information on point about
which l had always been curious. /

at once what part of America another

"'What about the Middle West?'
