who declare starvation will kill thou

Text of Letter.
The Presidents letter following:
with considerable regret I have
noticed from the press that Congress
is delaying the granting Of authority
for the extension Of prompt and gen.
erous relief to the stricken portions
OF Europe, the urgency and impor-
tance OF which. especially in respect
to Poland. Austria and Armenia you
have already explained to the Ways
and Means Committee.
"It is unthinkable to me that we
should withhold from these people
who are in such mental and physical
distress the assistance which can be
rendered by making available on
credit a small portion or our export
able surplus of food which would al
leviate the situation. While I an
sure that you must have explained
fully to the Ways and Means Com
mittee the appalling situation in these
parts of Europe where, men. women
and children are now dying Of star
vation and the urgent necessity for
prompt assistance, / beg of you to
make another appeal to Congress.
Has Moral Responsibility.
"I am informed through the pub
lished report of hearings before the
Ways and Means Committee that
Congress has now been furnished with
incontrovertable facts showing the
necessity for immediate Affirmative
action.
This prosperous republic ought no,
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 q
small portion Of our supplies, permit
the happening of this great catas-
trophe. WOODROW WILSON.

Divorce Ends Years Romance
OF canadian Hero-Aviator and
June Elvidge, Star Of Screen

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-Capt. Fran
els c. Badgley. Canadian war hero.
who married June Eividge. the ac-
tress, in November. 1918. when he
was attached TO the British mission
here, has been granted an absolute
divorce. Justice Pendieton signed an
interlocutory decree to be made fnal
In three months.
All the papers were sealed. The
case was heard by John l.. OBrien,
as referee, and his report In favor
Of the husband was confirmed by the
court.
Mrs. Badgleys last stage work was
in the movies. She was starred in
the screen production OF THE Whip"
and other successes. She was cast
for many vampire parts.
Captain Badgley went overseas as
an aviator in the Canadian Expedi-
tionary Force. When he had recov-
cred from a slight wound. he was
assigned to the British mission In
this country. In New York he fell
in love with June Elvidse on the
screen, so he often said. He sought
a meeting and his courtship was
rapid.
Their married life lasted less than
a year. Samuel Wasserman. attorney
for the captain, states that his client
was still in the city.

FORD CAR
WILL RACE TRAIN
Il Runs on Rails and Is Design
ed to Replace
TroIIeys.

DETROIT, Jan. 2S.-Henry Ford
announces his new gasoline driven
street car is almost ready, and he is
SO proud of the contraption that he
will let IT compete with the Wolver-
inc, the fast train of the Michigan
Central railroad, in a run to Chicago,
provided the Michigan Central
officials are willing.
The car Is now being assembled
and will be ready for demonstration
which Mr.. Ford plans to make on the
Detroit street railway system. II 1t
Is successful, and IL Mayor Couzen's
municipal ownership plan is adopted
on April 5, 1t Is not unlikely that
they will become a fixture on De-
troit's streets.
One of the interesting features Of
the new car is that apparently the
motors are to be fitted for operation
with alcohol as fuel This was indi-
Gated by Mr.. Ford's reply to a uues-
ton about the statement of Henry L.
Doherty, that gasoline driven cars
could not supplant electric ones, be-
cause the worlds supply OF oil would
be exhausted in thirty years.
Il am now making the best fuel my
tractors can use out OF straw" said
Mr.. Ford, "I've got an inexhaustible
supply OF fuel on my farm, over there
across the road. 1 believe the day Is
coming when we will extract the al
cohol out OF fruit for fuel and use the
rest as food. I'm putting up a S35, 900
plant now to manufacture alcohol
from straw alone just to show peo-
ple."
Mr.. Ford explained his car, showing
a four-cylinder rouble opposed hori-
zontal motor. The motor will give
seventy-five horsepower and will OBJ
yiate wasteful pounding of rails. 1t
is mounted on ball bearings through
out.
1t is light and compact-just as
compact, In fact, as the present cleo
trio motor on street cars and about
the same size.
There is a second motor, which will
develop $50 horsepower. This is the
one which Mr.. Ford expects to use In
the Michigan Central test. 1t has an
electric starter and an air compress
sor. Gasoline or kerosene can be used
in both motors.
Leaf springs are used on the trucks,
which are OF the double type. They
are so designed as to receive the mo-
tor which will be affixed under the
floor OF the car and controlled from
a vestibule in front of the car as elec.
trio cars are controlled by motormen

Commissioner Suggests Build

Washington's two traction sys-
tens, the Capital Traction Company
and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, were given clean
bills Of health today by Commits
sioner Kutz, who absolved them from
blame for crowded street car condi-
tons, when he testified before the
House District Committee in sup
port of the bill providing for a
merger Of the two companies.
If the responsibility for the rush
hour crushes and delays in the oper-
alton of the two systems rests upon
anyone, Commissioner Kutz claimed,
the major portion Of it must be
borne by the Government and the
public.
Blames Government.
Failure of the Government depart
ments to agree on "staggered" hours.
which would relieve the great con-
gestion in the mornings and after
Moons, Colonel Kutx declared, is in
large measure responsible for the In
ability Of the street car companies to
handle more successfully the crowds
at these hours.
He declared that the Public Utilities
Commission already has written a
letter to President Wilson asking
that the Government do something TO
arrange opening hours Of the depart
ments to relieve traffic congestion.
This letter has been referred to the
| chief clerks of the various Govern
ment- departments. he told the COM
| mittee, but no action has resulted
from 1t.
Nearly all the Government clerks
proceed on the theory that they mus,
get to their offices between five
| minutes to 3 and o o'clock, Colonel
Kutz explained. This forces an un-
| usual tax on the capacity Of the COM
panies. which would not prevail II
the designated time of arrival in the
offices were staggered"
Need New Line To Northwest.
Commissioner Kutz told the COM
mittee, which inquired particularly
into traffic conditions. that the Public
| Utilities Commission believes the
time has come when the Fourteenth
|
! Company must be paralleled by an
other line. The great increase in
traffic during the last year or so. he
said, makes another line imperative.
He thought that this line should
be either on Seventeenth street or
some other nearby street running
north and south.
Extension Of the Fourteenth street
| line 50 that the Capital Traction cars
| would run straight down across F
I street to Pennsylvania ave. without
going around the Treasury, was an
| other proposal which, Colonel Kutz
believed would be necessary. He did
not seem to think, however. it would
be advisable to extend the line at
present.
Referring to the failure Of the Gov.
ernment to act on the request for q
standard hour, Commissioner Kut7
| expressed regret that the Government
would not yield little for the sake
Of comfort to the travelling public.
