cONFERS WITH\.
TWO CHAIRMEl
Harding Consider Plan to Aid Raj
roads-QuestiOn VIII Go to
Cabinet.

Washington, March 31.-CUnited
Press. President Harding today
began conferences from which he
expects to evolve plan for aiding
the railroads, a problem he regards
as the most grave he has to con-
slider.
The president conferred with
Chairman Clark Of the interstate
commerce commission and Judge R.
M. Barton, head of the railroad Ia
Dor board. who was called to Wash
ington by Harding.
Both the interstate commerce
commission and labor board are
judicial bodies and therefore not
subject to the direction of the
president, but he expects to get
from the two chairmen definite
ideas as to:
How to reduce railroad oper-
ating costs and whether wages of
the employees can be reduced.
Whether rates can be reduced
In case operating costs come down.
At the start of the conference
Harding was understood to have
told both chairmen he considers
the prosperity Of the railroads as
the basis of the prosperity for the
whole industrial world and that he
believes something should b. done
to get them back on their feet.
The information Harding secures
today will be laid before his cabi-
net tomorrow. With what Harding
secures from cabinet members the
data will be the basis for railroad
recommendations to be made in
ms message to the special session
OF congress,

VAST COLONIAL EMPIRE GONE
Germany has Lost Possession Of Q
Million and a Quarter Square
Miles Of Land.

Germany must pay many penalties
for the war she ruthlessly started 9TH
er than indemnity, disarmament, trade
restriction, and loss of good will. One
of her chief, but least-mentioned
losses Is that Of her colonial empire,
which has disappeared from the face
of the earth. The National Geographic
society summarizes Germany's colo
NAL loss as follows:
In 1914 Germany possessed a colo
NAL empire of a million and quarter
square miles in area. 1t represented
approximately four times the area OF
the German empire, and before the
war its exports amounted to about
one hundred millions Of francs, or
twenty millions of dollars. There
were German Southwest Africa. $4,000
square miles in extent, with LOO
miles of railroads, with its copper and
diamond mines, its metals, which were
worth, commercially, thirty-seven mil
lions of marks (nearly $9,OO0,0OO) in
1911; German East Africa, twice as
big as the German empire, having go
miles of railroads. with its harbors,
where nine hundred and thirty-three
merchant ships touched in 1911; Ger
man New Guinea, as large as two
thirds of Prussia. with its rich depo-
sits of gold and coal. its maritime
commerce of 100000 tons the Samoan
Islands, one single port of which, Ap!a.
was visited by one hundred and ten
steamers in year; Tsing-Tao. which
IN 1911 had exported 32,J0O,OO0 marks
(nearly SS,0OO,0OO) worth Of merchnn.
disc, whose maritime interest was rep
resented by five hundred and ninety
steamers, which carried n million tons
Of freight. All that fell away; all that
is actually in the hands of the allies.
The conquest Of this colonial EN-.
pire was difficult; it was finished
only in 1916.

CHANGE BUSINESS TOWN
Central City Argus)


Barnes Brothers, who have been
in the general merchandise bust
ness for the past thirty years at
Beaver Dam, Ohio county, are clos
ing out their business there to en-
gage in business OF the same char
acter at Hopkinsville.
Barnes Brothers conducted the
largest and most successful retail
store business in Ohio county, and
their push and energy in supplying
the public with everything needed,
from tooth picks to tractors, will be
missed by the people.
This large and successful business
was of course due to executive
ability in management. and which
resulted in the most extensive adj
vertising among all the business en-
terprises of the county. This firm
had annual space advertising con-
tracts with each of the county pap
ers, and from time to time paid for
large additional space. The sue
cessful history of this firm furnishes
concrete example to other mer-
chants in the matter of the value
of newspaper advertising.
