 roads. but did not specify whether this was to be the commission itself or some other agency. The plan Of the railroad executives on the other hand, proposes to give to the secre- tary of transportation broad powers to coordinate and unify traffice over various lines for the purpose of re- lieving congestion and expediting the service; to order the transfer of cars from one line to another where they are most needed and to require the joint use of terminals by competing lines.
 To coordinate the agencies Of gov ernment control, the railroad eXecu- tives propose to transfer to the de partment of transportation the exc cutive and administration functions now held by the interstate commerce commission. The commission would remain the court Of last resort as to reascnableness and adequacy of the freight and passenger rates, but the responsibility for rate regulation would be divided between the secretary of transportation. the commission and the new regional commissions repre- senting groups of states, reporting their findings to the commission at Washington.
 Rate Hearings Provided.
 The proposal of the railroad lead CTS is that rates filed by them with the government shall be reviewed by the secretary of transportation, who may approve or disapprove them or refer them to the commission. Any rates made the subject of complaint by the public could be brought before the commission for review, regardless of the cabinet officers action. The period for which rates might be sus- pended pending investigation would be reduced from ten months, as at present, to two months.
 The railroad mems attitude is that the interstate commerce commissions efficiency would be increased through relieving it of administrative detail and the turning over to regional com missions much routine involved in hearing local rate cases.
 Federal Control Provisions.
 To make possible consolidation of weak railroads with strong lines, joint use of cars and facilities, inter-cOm- pany agreements as to rates and practices. the railroad executives would amend existing laws forbidding these practices, and legalize them under supervision of the secretary of transportation Other features of the railroad proposal include federal in-

 Source of Loans
 More than sI5.0O0, 900 of the loans were made on German treasury notes and remittances from the Reichesbank but two of the loans were on ship ments of cotton. According to the de- ponents. the Chase National bank lent S3.000, 900 with cotton. as security. and the Southern Products company was party 10 the loan.
 Another loan. it was said, was in the form of a credit for S1.S0O, 900 from the Equitable Trust company of New York to finance cotton shipments with two German banks and Tidemann & Go. of Ft Worth, Texas. as parties to the loan The ship carrying the cot ton was seized by the British and the cargo sold, the proceeds being trans mitted back to the United States.
 The committee today also heard Gaston B. Means of Concord, N. C., who at one time was employed by Cap tain Boy-ed, former German naval at taehe here. Means denied any disloy- alty to the United States. He said he left Boy-ed's employ in the fall of 1916, and that whenever he heard any reports on German activities detrimen- tai to the United States he reported them to the proper authorities.
 At the request of Means the com mittee went into executive session to hear his testimony concerning the To- cation of some papers of Boy-ed which. he said, the government might desire. After a two hour executive ses- sion, Chairman Overman announced that the committee had concluded that the papers were not important to the present investigation.

FIRST TANKS ACROSS WERE
 QUICK K-CHANGE ARTISTS

Take off your uniforms! Don your civilian clothes?' came the order from the English captain of the Or duna, the old CUnard liner that was carrying the first Yankee unit to England in May, 1917. It was a pre- mature denob:Iization order that made one hundred and fifty Ameri- cans hot under the colIars;' for five days before they had forsaken civil ian clothes for khaki styles. Here they were in mid-Atlantic, still sev- eraI days travel from the submarine zone. ordered to discard thir uniforms before they had even grown accustom- ed to them!
 The Home Sector, the ex-soIdiers' magazine conducted by the former editorial couRciI of The Stars and Stripes, gives this version of the strange deep-sea transformation: ''AlI the time the Cunarder kept zigza gging in her course, and the strain of the submarine menace was as obvious in the boat crew as among them Hilary passengers. Then, with the real danger zone several days ahead, came an oninous order- By command of the British captain of the boat, all Americans in uniform must take them off and keep them off until the ship had met her convoy. In case the ship were torpedoed and those aboard had to abandon her, the Germans certainly would shell the ifeboats if they saw them filled with uniformed men, and the captain didn't want to take any chances of a new sea horror in which women civilian passengers might be victims.
 ''So off came the uniforms. Follow ed nasty bargaining with the British sailors who already had come into possession of scores of Yankee suits and shirts and civilian shoes, and the ship returned to the civilian aspect it had when it sailed from New York. About the same time, the captain of the ship gave orders that all bugling must stop"

THE TRUTH ABOUT
 CILATEAU-THIER

American troops were going toward u-Thierry-to meet the Ger mans. Five battered French divisions were coming from Chateau-Thierry having met the Germans. Every thing was being carried out accord ing to plans But Yank officers and doughboys did not know this, either did battle-wearied French officers and polius. They met in the fields and on the roads northwest of Chateau Thierry. According to stories after wards circulated among American troops in France the French defenders of Chateau-Thierry seemed obsessed with the single idea of beating the Germans into Paris.
 The Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' magazine conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Strpies, in speaking of the maneuver, says:
 What happened was this. As the Americans approached the battle, un- der command of General Degoutte, a French corps commander, the oncoTn- ing Germans were being opposed by two depleted French divisions, weary from five days of disorderly and dis heartening retreat. They were about all in, but they were ordered to hold their ground until the Americans could get into position behind them. Then they were to fall back through the Americans for the much needed rest and rehabilitation.
 All that happened thereafter was according to order. The withdrawal of the exhausted French troops through the lines of the eXuberant Americans was successfully accom- plished, and was no reflection what ever on their spirit. In holding out as long as they did against over whelmingly superior numbers, they had done their share.

CHANCE THAT
RED CROSS WILL
STAY in ARM0RY
Capt. Cheney Working with
Adj.-General on Plan to
Have Women Remain

st. Johnsbury Red Cross leaders
were optimistic today that when
further consideration was given the
matter by Adjutant-General Herbert
T. Johnson and other military officers
that they would be given sufficient
room in the State Armory in which
to carry on their work for the benefit
of humanity. Some Of the heads of
the organization felt the adjutant
general had been very courteous in
the matter but had been driven by
military exigencies into the necessity
of taking all the space in the Armory
for Co. ID, the re-organized military
company. Others believed the nee
essity for space for the military COM
pany was not so great as to cause
the Red Cross to vacant their quar-
ters entirely.
Capt. Cheney of Co. d is now US
ing his best efforts in the matter and
it is believed that if his recon-
mendation are carried out the Red
Cross will be reserved sufficient space
in the Aymory to carry on their great
work.
The Red Cross now has an emer-
gency order for garments for war
refugees and a meeting has been call
ed for next Tuesday at which the
women will sew for the refugees.
This work will be kept up until the
first of aJnuary. The Red C<bss will
then devote their time to domestic
work of which there is great deal
to be done. Mrs. w. H. Haywood is
director of this work.
1t appears on further information
regarding the order for the Red
Cross to leave the Armory that con-
siderable of the complaint against
the organization came from regular
army officer who accompanied the
Adjutant-General on his tour of in
spection. However, the order to va
cate the armory came from the Adju-
tant-General.
There can be no question but that
public sympathy is with the Red
Cross workers and if they desire to
remain in the Armory even in spite
of military orders there will probably
be pressure enough brought TO bear
to have them remain.
The Caledonia County chapter of
the Red Cross of which Arthur
Sprague is the director will retain
the Office in the A1mory. No orders
have been received for the County
Chapter to leave.
The st. Johnsbury branch of|
which Miss Maude H. Sprague is the
new director has occupied the old
gun room on the main floor. Their
sewing machines, wool for knitting,
and packing utensils are in these
rooms which they must now vacate.
The new officers of the Red Cross
branch are: Miss Maude Sprague,
chairman; Mrs. George Cary, vice
chairman; Mrs. Henry A. Power,
treasurer; Mrs. David Conant, secre-
,ary.
