SECRETARY BAKER ASKS
COURTESY FOR SOLDIERS
Would Have Regulars Treated as
Students and Welcomed -
During War.

Secretary Baker has asked the CO.
operation Of all communities where
ever Army units are stationed in the
United States in "the new program
of helping the soldier to become a
more efficient and useful citizen" He
explains that each of the divisional
camps to which the soldiers who serv-
ed abroad are being sent for dis
charge or re-enlistment. will be a
branch Of the university in khaki"
I'm this work." says the Secretary
of War. I'VE need the cooperation of
the civilian communities, the constant
mindfulness and helpfulness Of the
to ask these cities and towns where
the regulars are domiciled. to regard
the divisional or the regimental camp
and the soldier Inhabitants. as Cam
Haven regards Yale, or Berkeley re-
CARDS the University of California,
and as all of these college towns re-
gard the students.
These young soldiers will be away
from their homes. soldier-students
who have pledged their services and
If need be their lives in behalf of their
country, in return for q pledge OF
ties. even though the high period of
was emotion has passed. should
make these young soldiers feel that
they are remembered and thought for
and of. even in these days of peace.
They should be welcomed just as the
men were welcomed who came for
ward for service in 1917 and 1918. The
spirit with which they are accepted
into these communities will largely
shape the spirit of these new wearers
of the uniform.
THE nations debt to those splendid
units Of the Regular Army can never be
paid. Each one of them has traditions
that should be inspirational in their eff
feet upon the young men who belong to
them, working for high standards of
service and sound Americanism in the
Army and out Of it. Let US realize this
and show our gratitude by our helpful
ness
What Ihave said about the commu-
mites where the units Of mobile army
nunftfes where other soldiers are going
about the irksome tasks Of closing up
the business Of the war that Is over.
These soldiers, certainly, have the most
difficult part to take. Let US not forget
them. Let's keep them in mind, cor
dially and helpfu1ly. through to the end.
II would like the citizens in these va
rious communities, through their proper
organizations, to take UP practically and
in consultation with the commanding
officers some workable plan of peace
time relation and friendship. Condi-
lions ought to be 10 arranged that the
men who serve in these camps and sta
lions will be glad their training is near
such good people and in such kindly
surroundings"

SAN FRANCISCO. August 13.-Can

be paid at the rate of $1,000 a word.
The World Trade Club Of San Fran
cisco has offered $1,000 to the person
who suggests the word which. in the
judgment of the clubs metric cam
paign committee, is best adapted to
worldwide use.
The competition is open to all hu-
mankind. The money will be paid to
the winner at noon on May Is, 1920,
by a committee appointed by Presi-
dent w. H Hammer Of the World
Trade Club.
BRITAIN" "Ambria." "Ambrittica."
BRAIN" "Sam-BulF' are some words
thus far suggested. New names are
constantly coming. The World Trade
Club is offering this award because in
carrying on it's present campaign for
the adoption of metric units by all
English-speaking people-the United
States. the British Isles. Canada,
Australia. New Zealand. Tasma mia
United South Africa and SO Ont
was hampered by the lack of a single
short word which would express all
these.
The metric units of weight and
measure are now used by all the
world except BRITAIN or "Ambrit-
tica" or "Sam-Bull."

Strain on Nations Credit.

ANY proposal for government own
ership of railroads. whatever the pro-
vision for operation, raises questions
which every citizen must eventually
consider for himself. To increase the
present public debt from thirty bill
lion to fifty billion dollars in order to
acquire the roads would severely
strain the credit of the nation and de-
press the value of the liberty and VIC
tory bonds held by millions of people.
The public, as a whole, through the
government would be asked to assume
the burden and financial risks of rail-
way capitai5 while the roads would be
run by and for the managers and en-
ployes. The suggestion of possible re-
duction of costs Of transportation and
betterment Of service under such q
system is purely theoretical and has
not been established in practice by
the. government operation of the rail-
roads. On the contrary, In this coun-
trysas elsewhere, the very, opposite
results have been shown.
Government ownership means a re-
tarded development of the railroads.
Because of the war the country is
sadly behindhand in railroad con-
struction. Additional facilities must
be added at once and enormous rail-
way extension must, besmade during
the next few years to meet the actual
demands of our country's growth.
This calls for the highest type of in
dividual initiative and enterprise.
Politics must be kept out Of the rail-
road business. To make the railroads
public property and those who op-
crate them government employees Is
to throw the railroads into the arena
of party politics. In such an event
there would be serious danger of au-
tocratic control of the government
by government employees.
Learns Sentiment Of Country.
The overwhelming trend Of public
sentiment throughout the United
States is opposed to government
ownership Of the railroads. The or
ganiZations constituting the member
ship Of the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States, scattered through
out all sections of our country, have
Just declared with practical unanimity
In favor of adhering to the policy OF
corporate ownership and operation OF
the railroads under a comprehensive
system Of government regulationand
with the return OF the roads to- their
owners as soon az adequate legtsla-
tion, such as the national ch4mher
asks. can be enacted.
The Chamber of Commerce ~ the
United States believes in the mainte-
nance of that most vital principle OF

'.At it's recent annual meeting In
st. Louis it declared it to be essen
tial that our government should
scrupulously refrain from entering
upon any of the fields of transports
ton, industry, commerce or any nhaea
Of business that can be successfully
undertaken and conducted by private
enterprise.
THE concrste and actual question
that confronts the country now ":
Shall we depart from these fuuda-
mental principles?
Government ownership would mo-
nopolize and deaden, rather than
democratize and revive, railroad trans
portation. 1t would paralyge q great
industry whose vigorous development
is essential to the happiness and
prosperity of all our people"
