Budget No. 7. Believe in your
sell. We lift ourselves up by reach
ing down to help others. We may
light another candle without putting
out our own. 1t is what we think
and what we do that makes us what
we are. Most people spend so much
time in earning living that they
nave not the time to live. only when
you inspire your friends to live up
to the best within them. are YOU the
real friend. You can succeed in any
thing when others don't believe in
you. but you will never when you
don't believe in yourself. Get self
belief or self confidence and your
head will be crowned with success.

ures for Many Companies

Washington, Dec. 14.-Net opera
ting income of all except IL Of the
principal railroads of the country in

receied September was on business
originating before the new rates be-
came effective.
Operating revenues in October to-
tailed s617,619,s69 as compared

year before. Operating expenses in.
creased more than $10o,000,0oO the

was $3e0,602,565.

October the reporting roads showed
net operating deficit of s6,250,'
610, while during he corresponding
period of the year bfore their net
operating income was s452,395,906.

sented in increased wages granted

Continuation of Naval Con-
truction Necessary

the house naval equal to other in
the world and asserted that "the
United States must protect what it
has"
"No one knows the future rela-
tions of the nations Of the world
said Mr.. Daniels. -.
"It would be blunder almost
equal to a crime for the United
States to enter into alliance with
any two or three nations, either to
suspend or curtail naval building or
for any other purpose. 1t would GER
tainly make for suspicion among
the other nations Of the world. !
profoundly believe that the United
States cannot afford to take five
year naval holiday as it has been
rumored: England and Japan will
suggest OF this country. I wish that
we could have a world agreement
that would settle disputes without
recourse to arms but until that
comes and comes surely we ought to
carry out our naval building"
Mr.. Daniels quoted a speech of
Senator aHrding's at Norfolk, Va,
recently with regard to American
naval policy and said that he was in.
complete agreement on this SUBJ
ject with the President elect. His
recommendations for new construc'
ton were made, Mr.. Daniels said,
after a close study of world condi'
tions on the part OF himself and his
chief technical advisers.

operations, who asked what the re-

sertion Faces Courtmartial
At Fort Jay.

enter into the desertion trial. He also
is charged with absconding with $6,-

CONSTANTINE WILL
7 NOT REMAIN LONG
ON CREEK THRONE
Correspondent Make Assertion That
After a Brief Interval He Will
Abdieate in Favor of
Prince George.

Paris, Dec. 14.-Constantine will
not remain long On the throne of
Greece, say Geneva dispatches to
newspapers of this city. The CORES
pondents declare they obtained this
information from "a parsonage
closely connected with Constantine. "
He is quoted as saying that after a
brief interval Constantine will abdi-
cate in favor of Prince George, Duke
Of Sparta.
In taking this course Constantine,
it is asserted will give the impression
that he is acting in accordance with
his own wishes and not! acceding to
those of the allies. This decision was
reached upon representations from
Demetrios Rhallis, the Greek premier
who is said to have pointed out that
Greece would be in critical situa-
ton if opposed by the great powers.
Constantine Ready to Leave
Lucerne, Dec. 14.-Former King
Constantine of Greece, recalled to

tablished after the fall of the Veni-

bound train awaited him at the sta
ton. He will be met at Venice to-
