The Centenary Drive.

II was a success About one o'clock
on last Sunday afternoon the Centen-
airy teams began the canvass OF the
members of the church and congrega-
ton. At 4:30 the report was made at
the church and 1t was found that we
had considerably exceeded our quota.
There was great rejoicing over this
fact and those who had carried the
Centenary on their hearts felt that a
great victory had come.
on Saturday night a team supper
had been held where final instructions
had been given. From this event the
workers had gone forth with enthusi-

NEVER AGAIN, SAYS GERMANY.

One hundred years before Christ

At Aiken Provence they were stopped
and defeated. They sued for peace
and swore they would never do 1t again
Sixty years later 100000 Germans in

and the Disc. They were beaten. They
swore they would never do 1t again.
Sixty years before Christ the Germans

Two hundred and thirty years after
Christ the Germans invaded France.
They were beaten. They swore they

another solemn pledge, never again.
In 274 A. D. the Rhine basin was in
vaded by the Germans: in 276 North
eastern France. In Sol Langres was
pillaged. The invaders were beaten
and they swore never again. In 36l
they reconquered the left bank OF the
Rhine. In 1854 they devastated Lyons,

The Republicans have majority in
both branches. There is evidence of
much bitter politics ahead. Victor Ber

sentence of twenty years in the PEN

Sir: Thank you so much for the
manner in which your treated my let

the Delaware avenue paving Many Of
the residents Of the western side Of the
city, including myself had begun TO
think that the Street and Sewer Di-
rectors regarded us as a parent might
regard a red-headed slepchild We had
begun 10 think that we had no friends
at home or anywhere else. For months
past you know IL has been somewhat
Of a task for rs TO reach home with

Do you suppose that The directors Of
the street and Sewer Department have
ever stopped TO consider Just how

"cussin'" have resulted from the man
ner in which the Delaware avenue paw

Suppose there are hundred automo-
biles each hour for every hour in the

bic. Suppose the loss in time due to
the present circuitous routes is only

! use poorly paved side streets, the wear
on these same side streets that are
not adapted to heavy traffic. The money
loss here OF course is hard to calculate.
But IL is considerable.
When the Street and Sewer Directors
give the public the reasons for the
long delayed completion Of the Della
ware avenue work hope they will give
convincing reasons. The contracting
company is certainly under bond to
complete the work sometime. II the
contracting company doesn't stir Itself
and That quickly. why not put II up
TO the bonding company? Certainly the
directors will not admit that they can
not fix responsibility somewhere.
The Street and Sewer Directors

meeting The public knows that the
country has been al war, TO- knows
that employers all claim that efficient
labor is hard TO secure. it knows that
the public utility company may be

tracting company has had transporta-
tion difficulties, all these things and
more, 10 knows. And vet the public,

Mr.. McAdo0's Enormous
Underestimate of Expenses

freight business was u 10 per cent
less. on the other hand, while operat-
ing expenses in the first four months
Of 1917 were sSsOOO0,O00 IN the first
four months Of 1919 they were si,3lo.-
000,O00 an increase Of about 81 per cent.
II the increase in expenses throughout
the year 1919 should be relatively as
large as it was in the first four months
and il is safe TO assume that 1t VIII be
the operating expenses Of 1919 viii
exceed those Of 1917 by si,60O,000000. In
other words, although the traffic being
handled in 1919 is less than it was in
either 1918 or 1917, operating expenses
are running about s74000OOOO more
than the annual rate at which Mr.. Nc
Adoo estimated they would run when
he made the big advance in freight and
passenger rates little over a year ago.
when Director General Hines was
| testifying before the House Committee
on Appropriations on June I, he eX-
planned the great increase in expenses
which had occurred by referring to
the advances in wages and in the
prices Of materials and supplies which
have take place. He estimated the
wages being paid in 1919 are y per
cent. higher than the rates Of pay in
effect at the end of the calendar year
1871 and the prices Of materials and
supplies at 80 to 40 per cent. more than
they were in 1917. He added. How
about the revenues? Should they not
be higher? 10 Is perfectly clear to me
that a % per cent. increase in rates.is
not going to offset an increase OF
something's over 80 per Gene. in wages
and anywhere from 80 to 40 per cent.
in the cost OF materials. Ger
tainly, there is a very strong argument
that could be made for the view that
an Increase in business cannot possibly
produce enough additional net profit to
make up for this loss of the purchasing
power Of the dollar
"'TO state the matter in another way.
you cannot offset an increase of at
least Si,600,000,00 a year in expenses
with an advance in rates which even
though the railways were handling
maximum business. would Weld only
Si,0000O0OOO to si2OO.O0OOOO in addi-
tional revenue; and, unfortunately. thew
are not handling a maximum business.
Mr.. McAdoo simply underestimate the
increase Of expenses that was going to
occur as a result Of the policies he
and the difference has now
got to be made up. Many Of the things
done under government operation
which caused this prodigious Increase
Of expenses can never be undone. re-
sardless of whether 10 would be
right and desirable TO
undo them or, not The bulk Of the in
'rease in expenses is due to the adj
'ances in wages; and these will never
le undone Furthermore, there is no
present prospect Of substantial reduc-
ions Of the prices Of materials and sup
)lies. A return to private operation Of
always is desirable mainly not be-
.ause Of things done under government
operation which will be undone-al-
hough many things will be undone-
'ut because Of the things which would

'peration and which it behooves the
ountry 10 avoid"
