Sea rebellion, still undisclosed. The
German delegates are stoned at
Versilles; and Clemen ceau, man
fully, apologies, dismissing negli-
gent officials, but IN the background
is news of strikes in France among
policemen and others. Italy repu.
dates her own government, the rep
resentatives at Versailles, while the
mass clamor for bread, while refus-
ing to work. Riots and strikes mar
the future for Italy but we hear lit.
tie or nothing of the great crisis.
Race trouble III Great Britain, riots
with soldiers and mutterings along
the coast, not to mention the TO-
ment in Ireland, bring England in
the ranks Of troubled nations.
Canada has her own problems. The
enemy countries face terrible flu
ture. Russia appears to be almost
hopeless. Everywhere the war
leaves the people of the world in
trouble. and the news of the world
wretched and disfgured.
Intelligent CO. operation for the
betterment of the world can only
proceed after an accurate survey OF
the situation. Competent observers
have prophesied dire calamities,
and their prophecies are coming
true. The only remedy if the rule
of the people and the spread Of
light.

the transportation system is found to be
far more seriously disorganized. 1t Is
true that there has now been established
some through services that might be
taken to indicate return to normal
railroading conditions.
One can travel from Paris to War
saw. or to Belgrade, Bucharest or Con
stantinoplc. When it comes to trans
porting freight through the whole dis
trict east and south of Germany and OF
old Austria Hungary. the situation as
sumes serious aspects. Serbia was
swept almost clean of oil railway equip
ment. I was told that at the date OF
the armstice there were but nine loco
motives left in Serbia.
The situation is bad in Greece as
well as in Rumania, CzechO Slovakia
Poland and Lithuania. In Russia the
locomotives seem to have been run unit
they ceased to function and then were
derted, little il any effort being made
at repairs, and it ia here that there are
the most notable examples of starva
ton and ample food supplies not dis
family separated.
have the highest possible authority
for the prediction that the food situa'
ton will be more serious in the spring
and summer of 1920 than it has beer
this year. and indeed that it will bt
so serious that. taking into account the
breakdown of transportation. it will b'
impossible to prevent another horror OF
starvation even if the ports of Europe
.ol
am not arguing that this whole
situation cannot be readily put to rights,
but | do say that no substantial start
has vet been made to do so. that even
no systematic plan has yet been de-
veloped. and that under the very best
of conditions the task is one that will
consume a great deal of time.
In the interval the transportation
situation presents most serious OBJ
stacle to the distribution of food and
necessities and makes doubly difficult
the restarting of industry. Among all
of Europe's needs none is more poig :
nant than the rehabilitation of her
railroads.
Locomotive Sixty one Years Old
Occasionally I had an interview that
was so rich in material and that was
given under such circumstances that |
could make very brief running notes. |
find in my notebook, which indeed is a
lamentably scanty and scrappy one. the
notes of an interview ] have had with
man who has made a great success OF
two continents and who knows thor
oughly from personal experience the
railroad conditions IN America, England
and in Europe, and who has rendered
distinguished service throughout the
war.
My talk with him ranged over many
subjects. Portions of the interview
would logically fall in various chapters
| of this book. but perhaps 1t will be as
