The Soldiers Return
(rrom Stars and Stripes.)

(fTOm SLHTS ana OtTIp6S.)
There are great many splendid
things being said and done in the
States incident to the American sol
dier's return. And, as might be ex'
pected, great many things equally as
silly.
The American soldier believes that
this war has been fought for some.
thing very spiritual and yet very
tangible, and that the peace to follow
is to be worthy one. He will return
to face life with the same high cour-
age with which he confronted death.
He feels sure Of the welcome he will
find, and he hopes to slide back quiet
ly and unostentatiously into harness
and help pull the load Of bigger, bet
ter world.
The programs of land reclamation
and vocational training, insurance pro-
lection, and help for the MANNED and
blind the returning soldier looks for
ward as a measure of justice which he
hopes will be worked out to a con-
summation in keeping with the new
order of things.
There are, however, unfortunately,
great many people in the States with
lots OF time and nothing to do, to
whom 1t ought to be suggested that
he does not appreciate the charity
campaign now in full swing. He does
not object to his old uniform and some
of it's accessories, nor to the extra
months pay that Is an intimate lit
tie matter between himself and his
uncle. But when he picks up the pa
per and reads in, perhaps, nine out OF
fifteen items some novel proposition,
rather vague, but, nevertheless, en-
tirely suggestive of the charitable in
tentions of the authors, he feels very
much like a man who has left home
and upon returning finds some one
else installed in the best chambers
and the word welcome" on the eel
lar door.
One state is planting trees for US,
another naming pigs for us, all the
hens in another state laying eggs for
us, and some one else Is planning to
make New York policemen out of us.
Some governors are calling the politi-
clans together and proclaiming that
something has got to be done with us,
and committees are being appointed
with salaries) to look into the mat
ter. Some are recommending that all
of us be sent back to the farm and
others that we be hired by the gov.
eminent.
What a tremendous awakening is in
store for all these dear people when
the soldier sets foot again upon the
old sod, shakes the dust of battle from
his clothes. and wades into things
with a breeze that will blow all the
charity boards and governors commit
tees out of his way forever!

RAIL
CONTROL WILL
Be CONTINUED
Congress Failure to Appropri-
ate Funds Will Not Force
Premature Return.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March THE gov
eminent today determined to retain
control of the railroads, despite failure
Of congress to provide funds for the
railroad administration.
The roads will finance themselves
for the next few months through pri-
vate loans on the open market or
through advances by the war finance
corporation.
Efforts will be made to maintain
operations on a normal scale and to
carry on as much of the improvement
program as possible, in order to avoid
throwing employees out Of work or
otherwise disturbing industrial condi-
tons. No attempt will be made to
solve the problem by raising rates.
These assurances we're given by Di-
rector General Walker G.. Hines in a
public statement and in an address to
the conference of governors and
mayors meeting here.
Large Sum Is Available
At the same time 1t developed that
the war finance corporation has about
$337, 100000 resources available, and
much of this may go to railroads to
supplement the sums they can borrow
until congress meets again and has
an opportunity to appropriate funds.
After protracted conferences be-
tween Secretary Glass and other OF
ficials of the treasury and war finance
corporation it was stated that means
probably will be developed to keep
the railroads off the money market as
much as possible and minimize inter-
ference with the forthcoming victory
liberty loan.

DR., HARRY WEIST
TAKES own LIFE

DR.. Harry Weist, formerly a prom
inent physician of Richmond, who has
lived in New York for the last ten
years was found dead in the bath
room of his apartment, 80 East Sixty
fourth street New York city yester'
day.
Death was apparently the result OF
a self-inflicted bullet wound In the
head. The police gave suicide as the
cause for the death. 1t is understood
that DR.. Weist has been suffering from
a nervous disorder for the last two
years.
A nurse, Miss Anna Elstro, who
had been a family attendant for a
number of years was the first to reach
the body.
Dr. Weist was the son of DR.. Jacob
r. Weist, for many years one OF the
leading physicians of this city. The
son, Harry Weist. was born and rear
ed in this city. He was graduate OF
an Eastern medical college, and was
later associated here with his father
in practicing medicine. Upon his
fathers death he took over his work
residing in the family home at lis
North Eighth street.
Dr. Weist left this city about ten
years ago with Daniel G. Reid, former
Richmond multi-millionaire, to act as
his private physician. He had not,
however, been associated with Mr..
Reid for about two years, but had
been employed as physician by the
Pennsylvania railway and the Ameri-
can Exchange National bank.
He is survived by his widow and
two children, Miss Helen Weist and
Roland Weist
The burial will be at Exeter, N. H
