He Claimed That the American
Standard of Living Must
Decline
Associated Press DISPATCH !

New York, December 5.-4New rail
road equipment costing approximate
ly s3,000,O000O0' must be bought
within the next few years if the
American people are to avert still
higher cost of living, said Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, before the
reconstruction conference of the as

Our railroads must not be crippled
but on the contrary they must keep
abreast of the times and be prepared
TO serve the great and growing fu-
ture of the country"
Must Have Higher Rates.
The speaker said that withou an
increase in freight and passenger
rates, a very large number of rail .
road companies would face bankrupt
cy and that very few OF those who
escaped would be able TO pay stock
holders. The year would end. there

deficit of perhaps $3.50, 900, 900 for all
railroad operations. The country

railroad securities be protected, he
said, unless the roads are given high
or compensation TO maintain them
efficiently.
The speaker said that the assoeia :

Declaring that even today. in the
months OF heaviest business that tho

that there was "a very small margin

That is the Sort of Big Deal the Y.
d. G. A. Puts Over in Paris
for the American Soldier.

Paris-The Y. M. C. A has been carry
ing on a real estate business in France
that would make veteran at this
game stagger. Modestly housed in
two small offices at IL rue d'Agues-
seau is the department which has in
vestigated and secured leases on 255
properties, outside of huts or transient
premises, for which the "Y' pays
yearly 4,347,700 francs, or nearly a
million dollars. In Paris alone it has
leased SO properties whose approx
mate annual rental is 1897 900 francs.
The emblem of the Red Triangle
has bloomed on some Of the most
splendid properties in France. Walk up
the famous Champs Elysee in Paris
and your eyes soon inform you that
the Y. NJ. G. A. has secured the well
known Palais de Glace for the recrea.
ton needs of Uncle Sans fighters,
some of whom may be seen daily play
ing baseball under the trees between
the palais and the avenue. Not many
know that the rental of this famous
skating rink which has been converted
into an auditorium and equipped with
canteens is given free to the Y. M. c,
A by the city of Paris which owns the
property. The expenses borne by the
association are those of taxes, insur.
ance and other expenses of upkeep.
The Cirque de Paris, an enormous
theatre with seating capacity for
1000, is another famous property Sc
cured by the "Y". To see this thea.
tire packed with tier upon tier OF
shouting doughboys on the nights box
ing bouts are held leaves no doubt
in ones mind but that the soldier and
sailors in this crowded city needs space
in which to stretch his lungs and have
his recreation. The rental of this
$4,000 francs for lease of 60 days
seems costly at first glance. But have
you ever thought of renting the New
York Hippodrome? And the task con
fronting the organization that endeav'
ors to provide entertainment for the
$4,000 Americans stationed in Paris,
and the thousands of permission
, naires here, involves just such enter.
