significant to note that the foregoing
conditions in railway purchases were
followed by phenomenal revival OF
general business during the last halt
OF 1912; this too in the face of ma
tonal election fraught with more un-
ccrtaintics as to its outcome than any
we had had for years.
Situation Saved by War
Railway purchases sharply de-
clincd in 1913 to very low level, fore
shadowing the memorable depression
OF 1914; but the European war, result
ing in tremendous war buying, sup
planted railway buying and brought
the country in 1915 and 1916 to high
point Of business prosperity. The iron
and steel industry, recognized as the
great barometer of general business
conditions, is dependent upon railway
purchases to the extent of 40 per cent
or 80 per cent of its production.
The railways most vital need is
the assurance of permanent adequate
revenue, as a fixed governmental pol
icy, which. established by rule of stat
ute, would enable managers confidently,
definitely and intelligently to provide

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Answer-
ing the charge that he transferred
army automobiles to other government
departments without authority from
Congress. S. crotary Of War Baker to-
day declared he had followed the adj
vice OF the judge advocate general of
the army in matters concerning the dis
position Of war supplies.
There was no conscious activity on
my part in the disposition of army
automobiles.' he said. "Bhe law gov
erning the disposal of army supplies
was interpreted by the judge advocate
general and ! followed his directions"
Secretary Baker explained that the
misunderstanding over automobiles
perhaps arose over the fact that Con-
gress had previously given the War
Department authority to turn over
some equipment to the Department of
Agriculture and the Postoficc Depart
ment. which later was abrogated bv
legislation. He said that it was likely
taat the department was IN the process

Shantung Revives :
Story of Perry's
Notable Exploit
Commodore's Achievement
in Breaking Down Wall
Japan Reared Against the
World Praised by Daniels

Recent discussions of the Shantung
amendment to the peace treaty, and
various phases Of Americas relations
to Japan, have revived interest in the
historic introduction of the Western
world to Japan, which was effected by
the visit of Commodore Perry in the
early tifties The National Geographic
Society, from it's headquarters in
Washington, has issued bulletin con-
cerning that expedition and the man
who headed it, extracted from an ad-
dress Of Josephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy, made before the society
March 20, 1918. Upon that occasion
Secretary Daniels said:
"The early services Of Matthew Cal
braith Perry foreshadowed his illus
trious career He was intrusted with
the delicate mission to Japan because
he had shown constructive statesman
ship as naval officer. He was privi-
legged to choose the location for the
first free black settlement in Liberia.
He is called The Father of the Steam
Navy He revived the use of the ram
in the naval warfare. He founded the
naval apprentice system. He was ac-
tive in suppressing the slave trade on
the Guinea Coast. He adjusted the
Canadian fisheries dispute in 1862.
Promoted Reforms in Navy
"He helped greatly in removing duel
ling, grogging and nogging from the
est squadron which up to that time
had ever been assembled under the
Stars and Stripes. 1t was the first
American fleet governed without the
lash, hogging having been abolished by
Secretary Graham. 1t was that fleet
which decided the day at Vera Cruz
and started General Scott on his vic
torious way to the City of Mexico
THE triumph of Perry upon which
his fame chiefly rests was the opening
Of Japan to the world, one Of the most
important events in our history The
story of Pcrry's voyage to- Japan has
all the glamour of the stories of the
Orient, and is fascinating beyond the
imagination of the most fertile novel
list. Armed with letter from the
President of the United States to his
imperial majesty, the Emperor of Ja-
Friend Commodore Perry made a
thorough study Of Japan and the Japa
nese character before starting on his
epoch making voyage.
He carried as presents specimens
Of the products Of the farm and fac
tory, which he thought by their novelty
and usefulness would interest the pco-
pie of Japan. A miniature locomotive,
with tracks and rails to be laid down,
one mile of telegraph line with Mor&c
instruments, photo-cameras, printing
presses, puzzles and toys, some OF the
newest things in America, were in the
cargo.
