NEW YORK. October 1S.-About
this stage in national campaigns it is
customary for the managers to issue
confident claims of victory for the
purpose of encouraging their hench- =
men to keep up the fight and for the
influence Of the predictions on the
noating vote. There is always an un-
decided element which likes TO get
IN on the winning side in the windup.
These big claims have to be bal
anced and qualified by the cautious
observer seeking to get a line on the
probable outcome of the election.
When Chairman Hays of the repub-
llcan national committee talks of
gaining six United States Senate
seats and retaining three that are in
doubt, the democratic managers simp-
ly jeer in derision. while neutral in
vestigators hold their breath.
While the republicans claim they
are to gain seats now held by demo-
Gratis in Nevada. California, Idaho
Arizona, Colorado and South Dakota,
they receive urgent calls for assist
ance in New Hampshire and Connectl-
cut, to hold republican seats there.
Senator Cummins Frightened.

cording to the report.
Summarizing the history of Marine
Corps operations in Haiti from the
time the marines first landed, in July,
1915, to June 80, 1920. Gen. Barnett
says:
II wish to invite the attention OF
the Secretary of the Navy to the fact
that from a military point Of view
the operations in Haiti may be di-
vided into two periods - the first
period. 1856. when the marines
were first landed in Haiti. and dur
ing which time state of anarchy ex-
isted in that republic. and the second
period. 1858, which period started
with concerted attack in force by
the bandits on the city of Port au
Prince.
Actual War state Existed.
During the periods mentioned a
state of actual war existed, but dur
ing the whole time the bandits were
mostly engaged in bushvha cki Ing
While the total number killed may
seem large, it should be remembered
that these operations extended over
a period of five and half years. and
L believe that without the opera :
tions of the marines a much larger
number of natives would have been
killed by the bandits during this
time"

ADDITION NEEDED
AFFORcE SCHOOL
More CIassrooms Necessary
to Relieve Crowded Con-
dition in Building.

Addition of four classrooms to the
Force School is necessary to relieve
crowded conditions in the opinion of
Ben w. Murch. SUPERVISING principal
OF the first division, in which this
school is located. An assembly hall
also is desired.
The Force School is a twelve-room
structure. and is about thirty five
years old. 1t is located on Massa-
chusetts avenue between 18th and
18th streets. The enrolment of this
institution today totals about 600. and
is made up principally of children of
members of Congress and diplomats.
The registration at the Force School
increased SO rapidly since the early
days of the war that portable struc-
ture was pressed into use to relieve
overcrowding. With the portable, the
school has thirteen classrooms. It
has sixteen classes Of children. which
are compelled to be crowded'into thir
teen rooms. Use of thirteen rooms by
sixteen classes is accomplished only
through the operation Of two-shift
system for two third-grade classes.
New Increase Expected.
Another increase in enrolment at
this school is expected when Congress
convenes. Mr.. Murch pointed out that
as soon as members of Congress re-
turn to Washington they will register
their children at the Force School.
When the enrolment increases in De-
cenber. it is believed that the two
shift system will have to be extended
to other classes.
Besides an addition of four class
rooms and an assembly hall, Super
viSing Principal Murch says that the
school needs additional playsround
space for the children. Most of the
small playground at the school has
been taken up by the portable build
ing. Pupils at this school have q
small playroom in the basement OF
the building, but it is not adequate.
Heating and lighting facilities at
the school, according to Mr Murch,
''are passable.' The school Is lighted
by electricity.
Courses Are Abbreviated.
With existing conditions at this
school. the children of members of
Congress and diplomats, it was point
ed out, will not receive the education
they are entitled to ana "ouio re-
ceive providing the institution were re-
lieyed of it's crowded condltionS. Cnii-
dren who are enrolled in the classes
on part-time systems. especially. are
losing in their studies. due to the
abbreviated courses they are forced
~ nursua on account of the two
shift system, it was SAID.
II is hoped by school officials that
members of Congress will attend the
school some day with their children
and learn first hand the conditions.
Insnectjon of other schools by men,
hers of Congress will be urged by
school officials with the view that
thew will provide more and better
schools for District children when
they learn personally of the crowded
conditions.

PRIVATE RAIL COST
. FAR AHEADOF THAT
CONTROL
Half Year Deficit Of Former
TWo-Thirds That for Lat
ter's 2 1-6 Years.

! By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 13.-Six months OF
private operation of the railroads cost
the taxpayers of the country more than
two-thrds as much as the two years
and two months of federal control. Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Woolley
declared in an address here today before
the National Association Of Ice Cream
Manufacturers.
1.-The two years and two months of
federal control cost the taxpayers ssQ2, :
000, 900. according to latest returns" said
Mr.. Woolley. Assuming that the In
terstate Commerce Commission. in the
final accounting, will allow all Of the
maintenance charges reported by the
carriers in the period from March 1 to
September /. only six months of private
operation cost the taxpayers 1854, ,0O0. 900.
That is the deficit in operations in round
numbers.
Furthermore, beginning approximate
ly on September 1. new freight rate and
passenger fare increases, estimated to be
81, SOC, ,000, 900 annually, went into effect.
Demands Justice.
NOW L am not mere u duSoCdte d
return to federal control or to paint
blue picture. On the contrary, 1 am
very optimistic 1 only ask that you
as business men be just.
Shortly after the return of the
railroads 20 private control there was
switchmen's strike, which seriously
handicapped their operations Also. a
number of Innovations adopted under
federal control were done away with.
You will recall how certain great
terminals became choked. how the car
situation became critical, and it was
necessary for the Interstate Com
emergency powers Of the new trans
portation act, to take over the move
ment of all freight equipment in a
large part of the country.
LAS a result, I am here to report
that not only are the people Of New
England and the northwest not going
to freeze to death. as there was dan
ger of their doing, but the grain crop
Of the great middle west and north
west has been moved more expedi
tiously than any one on July l dared
predict that it would be, and that in
dustry has gone forward, and we are
approaching period of easement"
Expects Solution.
Mr. Woolley said the transportation
problem was headed for a solution,
but what that would be he would not
attempt to predict.
What / hope it will be and what
you hope it will be is going to depend
upon more patience by the American
people than they have yet display ed
and upon the most intensive and
whole hearted cooperation of ship
pers. consumers and passengers"
