Engineers Of the General Electric
Company, under Homer ioungman,

portion of the road will be located on
the Cheat river, between Rowlesburg
and Albrights. il is said.
The hydro-electric plant to take caro-
of the l7-mile grade proposition, the
first 10 be executed, if liberalization
is finally decided upon, will be located
between Piedmont, w. Va, and Bond
Garrett county, Md, on the Savage
river. Water power will be used in
generating the current.
J. E. Davis, electrical engineer for
the Baltimore and Ohio, and other Of
hcialS have given much time the past
few months in investigating the cleo
trio systems Of other roads, particularly
in the west. The economies from

and leave those who live there to solve
their problem"
Il venture to add" Sir Auckland con-
tinued, that it will also be helpful If
the many in all parts of the world who
are not British subjects, but are inter-
ested In Ireland, likewise stand aside
and leave the Irish to grapple with
their own political difficulties"
Sir Auckland also referred to the

SAYS NATION FACES
SERIOUS FOOD FAMINE
Would Suspend Manufacture of
LuxurieS to Permit Workers
to Go Back to Farms.

MISUNDERSTANDING reports Of
decreased food production, due to
scarcity of farm labor, have been made
by senator's and members of the house
who have recently returned to the
capital. The reports have been sent
to Secretary Meredith of the depart
ment of agriculture
Senator Ellison ID. Smith of South
Carolina who is just back from q tip
through the south, predicts that the
country will soon be face to face with
the most serious food famine in his
tory. thousands and thousands Of
acres hitherto given over to the pro-
duction of foodstuffs are lying idle and
unfurrowed in the states he visited.
similar reports have been made by
Senator Capper of Kansas and sena-
tors from others of the great food pro-
ducing states.
The only remedy, in Senator Smiths
opinion, is for the manufacturers of
articles not classed as necessities to
suspend operations for a time and per-
init the labor to go back to the farms.
lie has found that out of the thou
sands of farm boys who went into the
military service during the war only a
small percentage have gone back to
agricultural labor. The bulk of them
have found in the cities work which
Is more attractive and more remunera-
tive. If work of this kind could be
dropped for short period, Senator
Smith believes that many of the farm
boys would go back to the country.
Senator Smith intends to address the
senate on the subject some day this
week. Discussing the situation. he
said
II am having tabulated the figures
showing the percentage Of farm bows
who went to war and the percentage
who returned. The figures so far are
simply startling. In the states of the
south which I visited, especially I'm
Georgia and South Carolina, not q fur
