EXPECT NO MIRACLES

The agreement between the rail
roads and the government pro-
vided that when the return was
made the roads, rolling stock,
road beds, etc., should be in as
good condition as when taken over
This means another dip into the
fedral treasury, and, hence, into
the pockets of the taxpayers. Put
ting the roads under private own
ership again is expected to result
in economies of operation, yet a
miracle is not expected and the
change in operation methods can
not be brought about in a day.
The government, havin' increased
wages, shortened hours, and ad-
ded to the number of employees,
cannot expect the roads under
private ownership to go back to
prewar conditions, so present
standards must be continued at
least for a time. And if the gov
eminent has been operating un-
der those standards at a loss of
millions of dollars, private oper-
alton cannot become so efficient
and economical as to wipe out
this great deficit. AS the public
treasury can no longer be drawn
upon the revenue will have to
come from the public in the form
of increased rates.

Ups. Too!

entir number in the navy have d.
serted in the last five months. To
show by example what this short
age of men means, some of the big
officers attached to the big group
of ships tied up at the Philadel-
phia say that only two of the war
ships there, the nevada and the
North Dakota, could go to sea
for any length of time with the
present number of men. At least
not more than twenty percent OF
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets
could be manned for sea duty.
The ships which are idle at Phil
adelphia include one dreadnaught
eleven predreadnaughts, three
cruisers and five ~destroyers of
the new type and five times that
number not in full commission.
And all those vessels are held be-
cause there are not enough nine.
The loss to the government be-
cause these ships are idle manse
about 100000 a day. The same
shortage of men holds good with
with the Pacific fleet, with ships
tied to docks at Mare Island, Cal
ifornia, Bremerton, Washington,
ON the Western coast.
"All this refers to the enlisted
men. The situation regarding the
officers is just as bad. They are
resigning because they are not
paid enough, thier salaries not
having been increased during the
last seven or eight years or more"
Whose fault is it?" asked Ruth
Secretary Daniels will no
doubt try to blame it on the pres
emit Republican Congress but that
excuse won't hold good. Up until
this year, Congress was Demo-
cratic during the whole of the
Wilson administration. Why did
MT they do something about it?
The first bills to be introduced
looking toward an increase in the
pay of officers have been introdu-
ced by Republicans. Senator Jas.
L. Wadsworth, Jr., of New York,
has introduced one in the Senate
and Representatives Walter r..
Stinss, of Rhode Island, has in
troduced one in the house. But
even admitting that the small pay
has something to do with it, that
does not explain the great number
of men who have deserted. 1t is
very easy to get a discharge now
thru regular means. Why should
they desert? 1t is therefore no
wonder that everyone interested
in the matter is asking What's
wrong with Uncle Sans Navy?
Secretary Daniels has talked so
much about how efficient he has
made the Navy and yet here is
situation worse than any we
have ever had yet. l think it is
up to MIR. Daniels to do some ex-
planning. II he will do his job as
well as the future officers of tn
navy did theirs on the Polo Ground
in New York we will be able to
protect ourselves on any of the
waters in the world. We have the

end of the month.

The 2nd Engineers made a wUiluI.
lul record in the world war. IN as
much as in all Of the fiercely contest
ed battles in which they participat-
ed, In addition to cutting lanes
through the barbed wire entangle.
ments for the attacking infantry, they
worked day and night on the roads,
thereby making it possible for food
and ammunition to be supplied to the
troops in the front lines; and at
many critical times, it reinforced tho
regiments of the 3rd and 4th Br.
gades, and fought by their side.
Finally. in the last battle OF the
war, ii threw two-foot bridges across
the Meuse in the face Of a withering
machine gun and heavy artillery fire,
thereby enabling the advanced bat
talionS of the division to cross tho
river and seize the heights on the
east bank.
Throughout the war this magnifi-
cent regiment fulfilled most efficient
~ and most courageouely it's dual
mission as a working and fighting
force; and its splendid fighting record
is shown by its heavy casualties,
which were greater than those OF any
other engineer regiment in the A. f..
+
The regimcntal colors received the
French CruiX.de Gucrre three times,
and Sc officers and mon received the
same decoration, Twenty-eight Off.
GERS and men received the Distin-
guishcd Service Cross and the entire
regiment received three army cita-
tons. There were S7l casualties in
this regiment, with an authorized
strength of 80 officers and 1887 en-
listed men.
The 2nd Engineers is not an old
regiment, but has the distinction Of
being the only regiment in the Unit
ed States army to have been organ
lied on foreign soil. They were or
panized In Mexico, in 1916 from the
2nd Battalion of 4. S. Engineers,
while serving with the punitive eX.
petition under command OF General
Pershing.
After a campaign OF almost Il year
in Mexico. the regiment marched back
across the border into Columbus. n.
\ snl,
flying at the post OF honor in the
rear guard. On August 22nd, 1917,
the regiment left III PasO, Texas for
Washington, d. c., on the first leg
OF its trip to France. They returned
10 the United States in July, 1919, and
are now stationed at Camp Travis,
San Antonio, Texas.
A. number of the enlisted men OF
this famous regiment have been dis
charged and have returned to their
homes. These vacancies must be
filled, and filled at an early date.
Good men are wanted to take the
places of those who have so cour-
ageously defended and upheld the
ideas of American democracy. Now
is the time TO enlist in an organiza-
ton such as this, and to soldier in
this organization now, is indeed a
pleasure as well as fulfillment or
ones duty TO this country.
Men interested in rc.enlsting in
the end Engineers are invited to call
and have talk with Captain Nixon
or Sergeant Stafford at the local army
recruiting station.
