"About" Was Settled in
Short Order.

Youths Companion subscriber, who Is
three years old. On one occasion he
came walking slowly and quietly up
to his mother and turned very wan,
pinched little face up to her. She
asked him in a sympathetic voice:
"What is the matter, Joe? You
aren't sick, are your"
mo, ma'am."
"Well, what is the matter?"
"Nothin', only Just feel so pitiful !"
BY now his feelings were so worked
up" that he began to cry.
'Well, is that what makes you cry
so easily?"
"No, ma'am, that's what makes me
cry so hard"
"Now, Joseph, what is mammals boy

AID FOR COUNTRIES
URGED BY PRESIDENT
Wilson Renews Appeal for
'$l5O,OOO,OOO to Help
European Countries.

Washington. - Through Secretary
Glass, President Wilson Wednesday
renewed the appeal to congress to
grant credits of $15OOO0,OO0 for Po-
land, Austria and Armenia to alleviate
conditions which threaten moral and
material chaos in those countries
Secretary Glass presented the presi.
dents letter to the house ways and
means committee without comment.
There was no indication when the
committee would act finally on the re-
quest of Mr.. Glass that the credits be
authorized.
The presidents letter follows:
with considerable regret | have no
tiCed from the press that congress is
delaying the granting of authority for
the extension Of prompt and generous
relief to the stricken portion Of Eu-
rope, the urgency and importance of
which, especially in respect to Poland,
Austria and Armenia, you have fully
explained to the ways and means CON-
mittee. 1t is unthinkable to me that
we should withhold from those people
who are in such mental and physical
distress the assistance which can be
rendered by making available on
credit a small portion of our export
able surplus of food which would ale
viate the situation While l am sure
that you must have explained fully to
the ways and means committee the ap-
palling situation in these parts of Eu-
rope, where men, women and children
are now dying of starvation, and the
urgent necessity for prompt assist
ance, beg of you that you make an
other appeal to congress. l am in
formed that through the published re-
ports of hearings before the ways and
means committee congress has now
been furnished with incontrovertible
facts showing the necessity for imme-
date affirmative action. This pros
porous republic ought not to bear any
part of the responsibility for the moral
and material chaos that must result
from an unwillingness on our part to
aid those less fortunate than ourselves.
We can not, merely to husband small
proportion of our surplus, permit the
happenings of this great catastrophe"

BANDIT ACTIVITY
BELOW THE BORDER
Report Shows 81 Attacks by
Mexican Bandits on Trains
During Past Year.

Washington. - Sixty-four instances
of attacks, derailments and dynamit.
ing of trains in Mexico during the last
year are classified as serious in an
official report, copy of which reach.
ed Washington Friday. The instances
reported we're chiefly in the northern
part of the country and on the Mexi
can line, between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz and the Isthmus line.
The report makes a point of the
fact that the larger number of these
wrecks as a result of rebel activities
occurred during the first half of the
year and officials at Washington re.
gard this as due to the refusal of the
United States to permit shipments of
arms and munitions, including dyna.
mite, into Mexico during the second
half of the year.
The decrease in the number Of
these outrages was credited in the re-
port, however, to changes in the per-
sonnet of the railroad administration,
the appointment of General Manager
Fontes to hardle the railroads and his
activities on inspection trips in vari
Gus parts Of the country. The build
ing of a series of blockhouses along
the Vera Cruz-Mexico City line occu-
pied by soldiers is given as a reason
for the decrease on that line.
The railroads suffered losses of $780,
900, eight locomotives and 10 freight
and passenger cars as a result of the
rebel raids, the report said. In addi-
ton to this more than $25O,OOO worth
of freight and baggage was reported to
have been lost o. stolen by rebels.

Our country's Motto.

"E Pluribus Unum" was first sug-
gested as the motto of the United
States by Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson, in Au'
gust, 1776, they having been appoint
ed a committee to choose a design for
the great seal 1t is claimed by some
that the motto was suggested by a
similar inscription used by the Gen.
tleman's Magazine, a popular publica-
ton Of that time. It first appeared
on coins in New Jersey in 1856, when
copper money was. issued by that state.

Greedy for Wasps.

The common green frog has been
discovered to possess an insatiate
greed for wasps. This extraordinary
appetite does not seem to be in the
least checked by an occasional sting.
The protecting color of the frog, which
lies motionless upon leaves, no doubt
deceives the most wary of insects into
sense Of security.

THE RETURN OF THE RAILROADS

Tho railroads have conc back 70
their owners. Tie United States Gov
ernmcnt was running them ut n loss
OF one million dollars per day. AZ the
United States Government had been
doing this for twenty-six months. the
people, who support the United States
Government got mighty tired OF the
whole business and rcjoiccd when It
found a way to turn the railroads
loose again. Now. it will DO case OF
the owners getting tho money out OF
the people who ride on the railroads
aud not out Of the people, who do not
ride Oh the railroads.
Tho railroad employees representa-
lives claimed that tho United States
Government did not have a fair trial
in the management Of these roads un
der Government control and wanteu
the experiment continued two years
longer. This sounded all right but
from financial standpoint. it look
cd all wrong. Tho railroads would not
reed amy Government assistance TO
help finance them back to prosperity,
but for the tact that the United States
Government has monopolized the
financial market and it has done
more borrowing than any one disc.
AS result private enterprises and
corporations are forced to 60 into
the money market and pay high rates
OF interest, much higher than that
the Government is paying in order to
morrow aIIy money and they are hav-
ing hard time getting any money
even on this basis. There is no doubt
that many millions of dollars will be
saved by tho curtailmcnt of labor.
che labor elements had reached the
Point, where legislation was enacted
requiring tho employment OF full
train. crews to operate trains.
This was virtually taking the man.
