ternoon
At the offices OF the company In the

It was stated that the company will re-
store its service TO normal basis at the
earliest possible date.
The restoration OF Pullman car service
is expected within the next few days
and the 200 passenger trains which had
been discontinued because of the labor
troubles will be put back on the sched-

The freight service which was sus-

more time in adjusting. While railroads

S CENT FARE AMPLE
Shonts's Letter Painted Ros-
cate Picture of Profits.

District Attorney Swami gave out YES
terday the text OF letter from Theodore
p. Shonts to J. p. Morgan & Co., dated
August 81. 1918, and written Just be-
fore the banking firm foated a $4,000
900 short term note issue for the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company, in
which Mr.. Shonts makes the statement
that independent engineers had esti-
mated that on the basis OF a Ave cent
fare, taking into consideration abnormal
war conditions. the Interborough's profits
would show a steady increase or from
s12,44o,00o in 1919 to $2l,s10,O00 in
1926.
Though there is nothing particularly
new in this, ]. p. Morgan & Co. having
carried the letter substantially In circu-
lar advertisements, one of which APP
peared in the morning newspapers OF
September II, 1918, Mr.. Swami concludes
from the figures that the marlborough
was making money like a mint, unless
they were incorrectly stated. II the lat
ter should prove to be the case, said the
District Attorney, then the statement
and figures were made for the purpose
of inducing investors to part with more
than 100000 OF money In the pur-
chase of the short term notes. This, he
added. would be an offense under sec
ton 1290B OF the penal law, which makes
II a misdemeanor to obtain property or
credit by use of false statement, and is
penitentiary offense. punishable by one
years Imprisonment.
Mr.. Swami, however, makes no direct
charge that these figures are mlsrepre-
sensations He is inclined rather to ac-
cept the estimates and calculations as
solidly founded. because the firm OF j.
p. Morgan g. Co. otherwise would not
have purchased the notes This being
the case. Mr.. Swami views the Inter.

Non-Inflammable Gas Ship May Enter Race

An airship with en- zines and cabins inclosed in an outer envelope so that the craft can float on the sea may be a competitor for the Atlantic flight The admiralty was engaged in building two such air vessels before the war ended and it was expected they would be supe- rior to Zeppelins for scouting for fleets.
 The feature of this craft, which was one of the several surprises being prepared for the Germans, is the use of a non-inflammable s=s. The late Prof. Ramsay was the discoverer of the gas, which permits of the con struction of engines. so that they can be placed on an airship, which can float on the water if disabled. Shots through the envelope, it is said, will only damage the gas compartment struck

GONE IN NEW HUN ARMY
Organization One of FIaphaz- ard Growth. Lacking Trace
 of Regulation

COBLENZ, March 26.-(By the As sociated Press. )-The new German army of Reichwehr is proving to be more a creature of haphazard growth than of regular organization, in the opinion of Americans specializing on the study of the readjustment of the enemy forces. Herr Noske, German minister of defense, announced some weeks ago that the Reichwehr consist ed of p zrigades, largely identical with the old corps districts, and would have something less than 25O,OO0 men.
 Throughout Prussia steps were talk en for the Reichwehr fairly well in harmony with the % brigade districts. There is a notable exception for the old Third corps district has the vOn LuettwitZ volunteer army corps of approximately 5O,O00 and thus has sev- eral brigades. Furthermore this corps has absorbed the volunteers of the old 18th, 16th and Fist corps districts of Alsace-Lorraine.
 There has been no attempt in Ba- varia to organize Reichwehr brigades on the Noske plan, and in Wurttem- burg and Saxony little has been done in this direction. The Duchy oi Brunswick is demanding a Reichmeh1 brigade of it's own.
 The Americans believe there is ground for suspicion that Germany has g considerable force of volunteers stationed or assembling where they may be available in the event of re newed conflicts with the Poles either in the Posen or Danzig regions. ! The commander of the seventh corps at Munster has issued an order establishing training schools for non , commissioned officers at all garrison towns. similar to the schools in opera ton at DelmOde.
