 Chicago. March 2s.-The root of the railroad difficulty is not in nation al agreements but in the inadequacies of management, declared w.

 Management AssaiIed.
 'Conservatively stated, if railroad management was characterized by reasonable efficiency and had avail able for its use a proper amount of capital or credit, labor costs would have shown a radical decline under national agreements,'' MT. Lauck de- clared, "and savings in operating ex- penses of at least one billion dollars annually would be made or almost three million dollars a day. We shall demonstrate this fact concretely by reports and analyses which we have had prepared by reputable railroad engineers and experts.
 By the series of exhibits which I am about to present we shall estab- fish the following facts:
 1. The policy of establishing na- tional agreements or uniform rates of pay and working conditions is in con- formity with custom and precedent in the transportation industry and in accordance with the best public pol icy as shown by the awards of boards of arbitration and the acts and rec concentrations of other official agen- cies during the pre-war period.

FRENCH BRITISH
BREACH WIDENS
PEOPLE ARE AMAZED AT STRONG
LANGUAGE OF LLOYD GEORGE
AND BRAND.

London.-The freedom with which
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
BRAND are debating the Silesian stu.
alton through the newspapers, and
the strong words they are using, is
creating great stir in England The
British public is accustomed to the
courteous and smooth methods of the
old diplomacy, and the spectacle of
most delicate differences being
handled by vigorous public debate
amazes the people.
The heads OF the two governments
after their numerous conferences were
expected to understand each other.
Apparently each has chosen the plan
OF campaign which he considers the
most effective against the opponent
NJ. BRAND will have the next woru Ia
the French parliament, and there is
great interest in London in whether
he will maintain the same high key
OF controversy which Mr.. Lloyd George
started upon in his recent speech in
tne House of Commons.
The prime minister's unexpected
statement is interpreted as a warning
to M. BRAND not to go too far in his
pronouncement before the chamber.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges references to
Great Britain's willingness to use her
fleet, followed by the declaration that
Britain cannot stand by while the
treaty is trampled on, is taken as sig
niicant of future developments, de-
pending chiefly upon whether NJ.
BRAND proclaims a widening of the
gulf between the policies of the two
countries or pictures them as follow
ing the same principle.
The government is anxious to have
the Supreme Council meet during the
weekend, believing that delay in the
allies comign to some sort of an
agreement over Silesia and taking &C
ton thereon will only make the stu
alton worse.
Reuters limited says: Regret is
expressed at the news from Washing
ton that the United States govern
ment finds itself unable to partici-
pate in the settlement Of the Upper
SiIesian question on the ground that
this is essentially European matters.
Both from an economic standpoint
and from the viewpoint of maintain
ing law and order the question with
its hands Of far-reaching conse-
quences is thought to be one not only
of European but of worldwide i'm
portance."

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. KiImer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
