1000 Men Sacrificed,
Gov. Allen Asserts

Lack of equipment, airplanes, and
transportation facilities were res
ponsible for the heavy losses suf-
fered by the Thirty-fifth Division
in it's drive against the Germans
i'll the Argonne Forest, declared
Gov. Henry j. Allen this afterno-
on in an address at he City Audi
torium.
This address, following the
inaugural exercises, was the first
Mr.. Allen has made on his exper-
fences at the battlefront while in
the Y. NJ. c. A. service.
Governor Allen asserted that
the Thirty-fifth suffered 1000 ca
sualties in the six days. battle.
Governor Allen, who spent ten
months in France for the Rel
Gross and Y. NJ. G.. A., also cli-
ticised the censorship, asserting
that it "became as absolute as
the censorship Of Germany, lack.
ing only the German intelligen.

said the Governor. "By noon the
next day the Doughboys had gone
beyond range of the artillery, and
they fought without support. /
went along the roads leading up
to the battle lines, and time after
time / saw the roads choked with
the bodies Of horses that had been
killed or had died in the harness in
the efforts to bring up the artillery.
The lack of artillery support was
not due to the men or their off

We didn't have enough horSel,

old and feeble to do the work. +"

THE DEBATE
CONTINUES |

;:-------x: ton with the wording of the mes
sage of congratuation to the Re
sdent Commissioner, ended in draw: Delegate ROssy
having acqiesced to the proposition that Porto Rico
ought to be either state of the American Union or
something else, Representative Coll Cuchl recipro-
Gated with generosity: Substitute the word solidarity
with the word applausc!" And it came all right; ap
pause drawned the words Of the orator. and there
universal rejoicing.
But said yesterday Rossy knows how to sting
when he wants to. Yes he may not object to Porto
Rico state of the Union something clsc but it is
understood that under the last denomination not be
included Rcpubqutd Of the Cuban brand not to
say anything about San Domingo, Hayti Or Mexico
"LOok at what just happened i'll Cuba he said to Coll
Cuch1 "two law abiding Porto Rcans have been ship
ped back like cattle, without asking their consent"
And quick like flash the answer from Cayetan
to- "Certainy, but they American citizens, these
two countrimen of just expulsed from the sister
"island" Which in plain words means that, when
Porto Ricans, citizens of the Republic of Porto
Rico Cuba won't dare handling citizens if they
mere Americans. Coll Cuch may also mean,
althoug not say that he really meant this: that
when Porto Rico is Republic, such thing will not
happen, because shall not allow any agtators go
from here to Cuba and may be shall not allow here
any agitators at all OF course Rossy is satisfied with
the explanation, that shall enjoy the inalienabe
right of free speech in the republic and that San
tagO Igesas will not be kicked out of the country as
undesirable citizen; R0ssy has Coll Cuchs word
for it, and we all should feel satisfied And, reader if
you do not think the word of the lIustrious Delegate
is enough guarantee Why have nothing else to offer
except formal and solemn promise of good behavior
and deep patriotism Isn't all that enough?

"Not only did the airplane SER
vice pay the price, but the infan-
try also paid the price in human
life for the protection they expec-
ted and did not get, for there was
no airplane guard for them. =

American soldiers were MOI popu-

lied with the French.

WHAT HE SAID IN EUROPE 8
The deadening effect on ;tny
race Of the adoption of logical
and extreme sociaiistic system
could not be overstated; it would
spell sheer destruction; it would
produce .grosser wrong and outr-
age, fouler immortality than any
existing system. But this does
not mean that we may not with
great advantage adopt certain OF
the principles proposed by some
given set of men who hapcn to
call Themselves Socialists; to be
afraid to do so would be to make
Il mark of weakness on our part.
From the Sorbonne addres,
April %, 1910.
One Of the prime dangers of
civilization has always been its
tendency to cause the loss Of the
viI'ilc fighting qualities, of The
| fighting edge. When men get too
comfortable and lead too luxmi-
Gus lives, there is always danger
lest the softness eat like an acid
into their manlines of fibre. The
barbarian, because Of the very
conditions of his life, is forced to
keep and develop certain hardy
qualities which the man of civil
/ ization tends to lose, whether he
be clerk, factory hand, merchant,
or even certain type Of farmer
University of Berlin address,

There are certain problems which
both Of us Great Britain and
America) have to solve, and as to
which our standards should be the
same. The Englishman, the man
Of the British Isles in his various
homes across the sea, and the
J American, both at home and ab"-
Dad arc brought into contact with
utterly alien peoples, some with q
civilization more ancient than oul
own, others still in, or having bu!

Government through taxation.
Decision by The railway unions
of the American Federation of La
Dor to support the principles OF
the plan, which already had th(
sanction of the brotherhoods, was
reached a few days ago, when Mr.
Plumb read the scheme to-. the
unions. The executives Of both
the 'brotherhoods and the unions
were careful to say today they
upheld fundamentals of the
idea lbut they made it quite plain
that they would not be absolutely
bound by the details the attorney
had laid out.
The Plumb plan opposes the
creation Of a Secretary of Trans
portation as proposed by the rail
way executives, cn the ground that
this would be regulating the peo-
pie in the interests Of capital. -
Objection was also voiced to a
| five-year extension of the Federal
control, as urged by Messrs. Me
Adoo and Hines, because it would
deprive employees Of political
rights. - b.
Proponents of the plan argue
THAT it would remove the railroads
from politics, coordinate State
and Federal control, protect inves-
tors by removing water from
securities, and because Government
financial support would be safer
and cheaper than private.
RETAIN COMMERCE BOARD.
No poyer would be taken away
from tie interstate Commerce
Commission, and ON. the other hand,
it would be free to have further
powers by which to secure full re-
gulation, adequate and efficiant
service. For the settlement Of
wage disputes, wage board are sug-
gested, whose deadlocks would be
opened by decision Of the Board
of Directors of the corporation.
Probably the most, remarkable fea-
ture Of the scheme is the Single
corporation, composed of emplO-
yes wihich would run the railroads.
81 would suggest for your con
sideration', says Mr.. Plumb S
brief" an operating corporation
where opcratign ability constitut-
ed its n1e capital. We would
recognize as operating ability the
skill, industry; and application Of
every employc, from President
down to office boy. This is. the
organization which Mr.. Them de-
fined as meaning the human ca
pacity to efficiently perform the
dervice. Such corporation re-
quires no capital. 1t should be
organized under a Federal law.

Unions Propose to Operate

and hold and operate these pro-
perties under the full regulatory
power Of the Government, to whom
it should account for all of its
operations and expenditures. 1t
should be required to meet all costs
Of operation and fixed charges
upon the capital employed which
had been guaranteed by the Gov
ernment. A certain agreed per
centage Of the net results Of opera
tion should belong to this corpo-
ration.
"Tthe stock Of this corporation
1hould be held in trust for the be-
nefit Of the employees. The earn
ings Of the corporation should
constitute a trust fund to be de-
clared as a dividend upon the
amounts paid to the labor which
it employs, every employee recew-
ing that proportion Of this trust
fund which his annual wage bore
to the total annual compensation
Of all employees. The affairs of
this corporations should be admi-
nistered by a Board of Directors
which we suggst, merely tentati-
vely should be elected in the foil
owing manner. One-third of the
Directors to be elected by the clas-
sified employees below the grade of
appointed officials; one-third by
the appointed officers and emplo-
yes; the final third being appointed
by the President of the United Sta
tes. This Board of Directors should
have power to appoint all officers
down to the point where employ
ment begins by classification and
to prescribe the conditions of EN-
ployment and classification of all
other employees
In voicing objection to the crea-
tion of a Secretary Of Transporta-
ton, Mr.. Plumb says:
cit would be regulating the
price which the public must pay
for a public service in the interest
of capital-a complete reversal Of
governmental regulation. 1t this
be done for the railways, we
would soon he asked to have a re-
gulating department to secure ade'
quate returns for capital invested
in the steel business, like depart
ment for the same purpose to pro-
tcct capital invested In the packing
business, and, in short very quickly
we would have a sovereign people
enslayed by regulations to protect
in the hands of a few capital
which they had accumulated from
the labor of all. -
Mr.. Plumb opposes the non-po-
litical order of Mr.. McAdoo, say
ing:

Washington, Feb. 6.-Two mill
ion railway employees, represent
ing, they say, with their families
eight million persons, are In favor
Of plan which will he ipresented
to Congress to morrow, recommend
ing Government ownership of the
roads, and their operation by q
corporation formed from the en-
ploycs and run upon co-opera'
tive basis. The proposal will 'bt
presented to the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committeej by Glenn
\. Plumb, long associated with
! the -four great railway brother
hoods as counsel.
The plan has been endorsed by
the executives of the Ibrotherhoods
who represent 100000 men, and
by the executives Of the railway
unions which come under the head
Of the American Federation of
Labor, representing about $780,
0G0 workers. The scheme has al
ready been embodied in bill to he
presented to Congress.
After Mr.. Plumb reads his plan
to the committee tomorrow he will
de followed on the stand by A.. B.
Garretson, head Of the Order of
Railway Conductors, who was ms
trmcntal in the passage of the
Adamson law in September, 1919.
Garretson will represent not only
the brotherhoods, but also the
unions included in the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor.
BONDS FOR SECURITY
IIOLDERSS
Under the plan endorsed tby the
railway employees &overHmnent
bonds would be exchanged for the
securities now held l,y investors
in the railroads, which are valued
at about $18,OOo,OON00O to $780,
000,0O0,000. Working capita |
would 'be provided by the Govern
nent for the corporation, but the
only capital the corporation would
present would be operating abb
lity."
The employees would handle the
revenues of the roads, now about
s., ,000, 100000 annually, and would
Ipay all expenses including their
own wages. The payroll, which
was $1,700,O00,000 before Federal
control, has now reached about
81, ,000,0 100000 year. a
Out of the net income, after pay
ing all expenses. the employees
would pay the Government rem
tai for the use Of the property. If
there were a surplus of revenue
above 5 per cent. it would be split
between the Govrnment and the
employees. But if deficit result
ed it would be sustained by the

Some Things Roosevelt Said.

We do not wish, in politics, in
literature, or in art, to develop
that unwholesome pafochial spirit
that overexaItation Of tic little
community at the expense of the
great nation, which produces what
has been described a the patrio-
tism of the village, the patriotism
of the belfry.
The patriotism OF the village or
the belfry is bad, but the lack Of
all patriotism is even worse.
From American Ideals" 1897.
o'taI wish to preach, not the doctr-
inc Of ignoblc ease, but the doctr-
inc of the strenuous life, the life
of toll and effort, OF labor and
strife; to preach that highest
form of success which comes, not
to the man who desires mere easy
peace, but to the man who does
not shrink from danger, from
hardship, or from bitter toll, and
who out of these wins the splendid
ultimate triumph.

STORM AGAIN HALTS
TRANSSEA FLIGHT
Fliers About to Start When
Report Comes.

ST. JOHNS, n. F.. April 3o.--A large
crowd which had gathered to witness
the heralded start OF the transatlantic
flight was disappointed to-day when
Capt Frederick r. Raynham, tho British
aviator. and Harry G. Hawker. his Aus
tra!ian rival. were compelled by last
minute weather reports to abandon their
plans.
Both fiiers had announced their inten-
ton of making tho "hopoff" to-day.
Capt Raynham setting the hour for the
start in his Mart!nsyde plane at 5
o'clock and Hawker announcing his Sop
with would get away IL minutes iaterJ
The avlators had attended yxoodspeed"
exercises conducted by Mayor Gosl!ng
Of st. Johns. and had even gone so far
as to warm up their engines for the
take-off when the report came of belt
Of southeasterly winds with stormy pro-
pensities about 800 miles off the New
foundland coast.
Local conditions We're entirely favor
able for the flight and every indi-
cation was that the two planes would
be winging their way toward England
within few hours. The few reports
that came In from ships at sea were
generally favorable until short time be-
fore the scheduled hour Of the flight,
when the high winds were reported by
the meteorological bureau
This report was quickly followed by re-
ports OF a gale and heavy fog of the
Grand Banks and a snowstorm at Belle
Isle. and the fiiers agreed that Il would
be necessary to postpone the fight aCai0.
1t was reported here tonight that the
United States mine layer Aroostook had
arrived at st. Mary's Bay. near Cape
Race, with the personnel OF the base TO

Nays transatlantic seaplanes.
