COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
HENRY FORD AS A RAILROADER
From the Hampshire ReVieW.)

A few months ago Henry Ford
bought a railroad, the Detroit and
Ironton. running from Detroit,
where his great automobile factory
is located, to the Ohio river, at Iron
ton. His press agent Immediately
told how rates had been decreased,
wages increased and how the rail
road was making big money. or
course, many people knew this was
largely propaganda, but the country
at large took it seriously and -FOUR
thousand fruit growers, in Michigan,
passed a resolution requesting Pres
ident Harding to commander all the
railroads in the country and turn
them over to Henry Ford to operate.
An investigation recently made
public reveals several things.
First, the road was bought at auc'
ton at less than half its cost, 50
the interest charge on the invest
ment is reduced one-haf.
Second, the reduced rates have
not gone into effect and will not do
so until August goth.
Third, economies were effected,
the principal one was the reduction
Of the working force from ESQ to
l $50 men.
The ultimate result Of the new
methods therefore are yet to be de-
termined. Undoubtedly the suhati-
tuition Of gasoline propelled cars, ea-
pecially for passenger traffic, as
against steam engines, will result in
savings 1t was being resOrted to
by other small railroads, one in this
section, before Mr.. Ford resorted to
it and the trunk lines have it under
consideration for their branch lines,
where passenger service is unprof-
liable and unsatisfactory to the pub
lie
In addition to this Mr.. Ford's rail
road is an adjunct TO his great auto
mobile industry. He is the roads
best customer He hauls his coal
and iron over it to Detroit and hauls
away the four thousand cars he
builds daily. His enormous business
was diverted from other lines to
this one and it, which is little more
than a long switch to his plant, gets
proportion OF the rates from the
trunk lines to which it takes Ford's
freight.
Admitting Henry Ford's organic
ing genius and business ability, dem
onstrated in the making of his own
great, overShadowing industries, he
has not discovered any method OF
doing the impossible. He is a
genius at advertising and the mis-
information with which the country
has been saturated regarding his
railroad operating achievements
will unquestionably create a lot OF
disSatiafaytion with the public
against Re high railroad rates,
crates Walch should and must be re-
Guced al the earliest possible mo-
menU, bat nevertheless it will pour
water on the Ford wheel and still
further increase the sale of Fords.
1t was this government that
taught us the great truth that thrift
would win the war. Now let the
government itself use thrift in pay
ing for it.-Morgantown New Do

JAPAN WILL FINISH.
NAVAL PROGRAM
VICE ADMIRAL KATo BELIEVES
PLANS WILL BE COMPLETED
REGARDLESS OF Y. s. ACTION.
Says Program Was Inauourated a
Decade Ago, and Even II Com
pleted Would Not Bring Japan's
Naval Strength Up to Others.

TOkiO.-Regardless of the United
States naval program, the Japanese
program requires completion Of the
eight battleship and eight cruiser unit,
said Vice Admiral KatO, minister of
the navy, in responding on January 30
to an Interpolation by Lieutenant Gen.
eral Ushara, chief of staff, as to ia
pans view of Senator BOrah's resOlu-
ton concerning cessation of war
ship construction. Japan's naval con-
structiOn plan, however, he said, need
not be carried out with the United
States as an imaginary enemy.
He said Japan would adhere to a
world curtailment of construction
plans.
He declared Japan's naval program
was inaugurated a decade ago and was
oorn of imperative necessity. Even If
completed, he said, wide margin
would remain between the naval
strength of Japan and other powers.
War Minister Tanaka said Japan's
forces had been organized to insure
the safety of her territorial rights. 1t
was true, he declared, neither Russia
nor China could now menace Japan.
Any effective plan Of defense, how
ever, he added, must presuppose the
necessity of operations beyond Japan's
frontiers.

Paris.-FOrmal application Is about
to be made to the governments of

States to recognize the. Russian con-
stituent assembly as the present de

Russia. The Russian constituent as

purpose Of sinking all differences Of
opinion and presenting a united front
against Bolshevism.
President Avskentieff. member Of
the former Kerensky cabinet of Rus

ference held here, will call in a few
days on Premier BRAND Of France and
present the application for recogni-
ton.
Alexander Kerensky, head of the
former Russian government, has gone
to London, where he will make a SINH
lar request Of the British government.
Boris A. Bakhmeteff, Russian am
bassador at Washington, is understood
to have been requested to present the
application of the United States.
The precedent invoked will be the
recognition by the allies of the Ser
bian government set up on the island
of Corfu during the war while Serbia
was completely occupied by the central
powers.
Thirty-three of the members of the
Russian constituent assembly created
here were elected in Russia in the lat
ter part Of 1917 by popular vote.
These elections were held under Boil
shevik rule and the Bolsheviki failed
to obtain more than 40 per cent of the
seats. Lenine, the soviet premier, dis
solved the assembly on January 18,
1918, when his followers were placed
In the minority. A majority of the
members left Russia, but many were
put in jail. Those succeeding in es-
Gaping regr0uped in Paris and formed

Answers Charges That Supplies Sold
by Government Might Have
Brought More Than Price
Paid by France.

Observation-Disclosures G. Dawes Of
Chicago. former chief of supply pro-
curement for the American army in
France, on Wednesday attacked what
he charged were political attempts to
discredit achievements of the people
who won the war.
Appearing before the house war in.
vestigating committee, Mr.. Dawes
struck hard blows at "petty fault
finders" who had tried, he said, to de.
tract from the glory Of the great
achievement by picking flaws and
parading trivial faults 5000 miles
away.
Mr.. Dawes was called by members
Of the committee to rebuff testimony
relating to waste and extravaganza
and particularly with reference to
liquidation Of American accounts in
France and sale of surplus stocks to
France. Answering charges that food
and clothing supplies might have
brought more than the $500, OQO, 600
paid by France. Mr.. Dawes turned on
one Of his questioners and said:
1T Is just that sort Of fool argu-
ment that forced Great Britain to hold
on to its stocks and attempt to drive
q hard bargain. The stuff Is there,
rotting. There Is no use to try and
throw mud when you were not there
to know conditions. England lost
billions Of dollars by listening to that
talk. They are raising the devil in
England now, because England did not
SELL"
Mr.. Dawes said he thought France
was charged too much.
Here you come and CHARGE" he
said, "that we should not have sold
sugar. The war department ordered
the sale. The sugar, went with the
junk. Everything was secondhand.
We got $4OO. O0O.O 900 for 1t. We liquid
ated every account, and we did it be-

Mr.. Bland questioned Mr.. Dawes
about excessive prices paid for equip

he said, turning to the Chairman, twas

APPROPRIATION FOR MILITARY
ESTABLISHMENT OF 10000
APPROVED ~ HOUSE.
Attempts to Amend Bill Meet With
Fallure.-1iil - Amended Carries
72,670, $50 For the Pay
OF Enlisted Men.

Washington.--A definite step toward
reduction of the army to 10000 men
was taken on February 3, when the
house approved an appropriation SUI
ficient only to maintain force of that
size during the fiscal year beginning
July /.
The action came after attempts had
failed to amend the army appropria-
tion bill to provide for 175.O0O men,
and 10 decrease the number Of officers
from $4,000 to approximately 5000.
When the section Of the bill appro-
priating funds for the pay Of enlisted
men was reached dozen representa-.
tives were clamoring for recognition.
Amendments poured in, and for an
hour members revived the small army
versus large army debate.
The net result. however, was sue
cess for the efforts Of the appropria-
lions committee to keep the measure
practically intact, all amendments
being voted down except one BY Rep
recentative johnson, Republican, South
Dakota. authorixing the discharge Of
youths under IS on their application
or 1t the request Of their parents or
guardians. The house voted to grant
such lads honorable discharges.
The bill, AZ amended, carried $72,-
67600o for the pay Of enlisted men.
This amount IL sufficient for 10000,
It was stated.
The house quickly knocked out an
amendment restricting pay Of enlist
ed men to those who could read and
write, and an amendment offered by
resentative johnson. Republican. South
Iowa, abolishing bonuses to men on
reenlistment, was ruled out Of order.
