And that would not be the nrs time the British gov

iT76 and all through the OF the American Revolution
the people Of England sympaihized the colonies and
disapproved the conduct OF the rulers
The British people just strongly dsapproved the acts
by which the British government forced the OF 1912
and also condemned the attempt OF their government TO
aid the confederaoy IN war between the states
The British people frowned upon the attitude Of their
government which forced the Boer War-a conflict which
though resulting in victory for British arms brought
little credit to British statesmanshp.

ton even this partial relief vas held
up by a ruling OF the Compuoller's s
Office. The railroads owe money to
the government for capital improve
ments during Federal operation. But
these advances to capital account
are offset by counter claims for
damage and undermaintenance. 1t
is of the first Importance to restore
railroad solvency, not alone as a
matter OF justice to the carriers but
as step toward breaking the pres
ent industrial deadlock.
The present Administration Is
working out OF the morass. 1t has
secured a partial cancellation of the
excessive wage increase imposed on
the roads by the late Federal rail-
road management a few hours be-

tai advances to the roads are to be
funded. The governments debts
TO the roads under the guaranty
agreement are to be paid. The
claims for depreciation and damage
are to be settled.

havoc of Federal operation. But at

that it owes full reparation to the
misused carriers and that the Will

Scrumbling From the MoruSs
CFrom the New York Tribune.)

Under the Federal railroad ad-
ministration the railroads were op-
Grated as an industry having no re-
lations with other industries Even
during the era of inflated war prices
they were not permitted to earn
their own way. They formed the
single exception in the government
program OF enhanced profits and
prices for the home agencies carry
ing on the war.
This error OF judgment has borne
hard on the railroads and on the
owners OF railroad securities. IL
has come near wrecking the trans
portation industry. But II has also
affected other industries which de-
pend on railroad prosperity for their
own prosperity. Mr.. Alba p. John
son. the president OF the Railroad
Business Association, pointed out TO
the President last Monday that in
dustrial unemployment has been ag-
gravated by the inability OF the rail
road to pay what they owe TO the
supply manufacturers or to continue
the purchase OF railroad necessaries.
The McAdoo policy put the Fed
eral Treasury deeply in debt to the
carriers. Congress, which wasn't
responsible for the creation of that
debt, grumbled somewhat about
paying it, Nevertheless it has paid

WONDERS OF AMERICA
OLD FAITHFUL GEYSER
By T. T. MAXEY
@. Western Newspaper Union.

a rT~ HE Lord didn't make many geys- | CTS or water volcanoes, but he gave distinct Individuality to each of the few which he did make.
 He placed the ma jority of them in Yellowstone park and of these, one has been dignified with the name-Old Faithful because of its dependability.
 Geysers are do-as-you-please freaks of Nature. Their activities are gen. erally devoid of any regularity. Some go off with great frequency: Others only at long intervals But, Old Faithful, true to the name, can be depended upon, day and night, winter or summer, to thrust her tremendous column of water high into the air (some times ITO feet), for four min utes at time, at intervals of from sixty-five to eighty minutes.
 From bowi-shaped surface open ing an irregular passage. known as a tube, reaches down to the intensely heated regions Water from the sur face or underground springs trickles down through rocks and holes and collects in the bottom of this tube. The heat makes 1t boil. Then 1t turns to steam. The steam forces the water toward the top. Later, clouds of steam arise. Finally, the pressure of the steam overcomes the weight of the water above and the geyser erupts with astonishing force, continuing to do so until all the water In the tube has been expelled.
 The discharged water falls to the ground and cools off. Soon the water again collects in the tube, becomes heated to the breaking out point and the operation Is repeated.
 According to observations made by the U. s. Geological Survey, Old Faith full shoots" 100000 gallons of water at each eruption. or about 33. 225 900 gallons every twenty-four hours enough to supply city of 100000 in- habitants.
