EX-PRESIDENT WILSON
GIVES NEAR EAST $500
Expresses His Deep Sympathy for
Plight of Arme-
mans.

The Washington committee for
Relief in the Near East yesterday re-
ceived check for 5000 from former
President Wilson. In the note ac-
companying the check Mr.. Wilson ex-
pressed his deep feeling of sympathy
because of the tragic situation of the
Armenians and said he believed the
United States should assist them be-
cause they were our allies.
The special 'Ienten appeal" of Mai
Gen. Wood, just issued. is having a
hearty response in Washington. the
committee announced. A mass meet
ing has been held in the government
hotels. where Mrs. Cabot Stevens gave
an illustrated lecture. The Southern
Commercial Congress has indorsed
the appeal of the local Near East
Relief committee and has presented
a memorial of $11O.
A resolution of immediate active
cooperation has been adopted by the
y. A. r. chapters of the District of
Columbia and the woman's auxiliaries
of the District Episcopal diocese took
similar action at their r,>-c.inr at st.
Margaret's Church. To-Day Gen.
Woods appeal will be read in all the
churches.
Two cafeterias in Washington will
give all the proceeds of their sales
for the benefit of the relief fund to-
morrow.

Flax Fiber Tests May Develop
Great Linen Industry in 4. S.

the linen industry economically
feasible in this country.
According to the bureau OF stand
ards announcement which was made
by Director Stratton. the 1nterna-
tional Harvester Company mas ae-
viscd a machine which apparently mas
solved the problem of harvesting
flax. In addition to this. machine
has been constructed by clViiian
inventor which is said to be capaoie
of extracting fiber from the plant IN
a few hours. whereas the rettins
process. used in foreign countries
requires about six weeks.
Flax May BE Grown In Maryland.
On top of these discoveries 1t mas
just been found that fax can be grown
successfully in Maryland.
1t was stated the bureau is in pos
session of flax yarns made from fax
grown in Maryland. harvested by the
machine turned out by the 1nterna-
tional Harvester Company and pre-
pared for manufacture through the
new fiber-eXtracting process.
The bureau is comparing the quail
ity of these yarns with imported
yarns. DR.. Stratton said the new
process gave every indication of being
a valuable contribution to American
industry.

Announcement is made by the United
States bureau of standards of the dis
covery of an apparently successful
method of xtracting flax fiber for
purposes of linen manufacture which.
if proved practicable by further tests.
will be expected to lead to the estab-
lishment of the linen industry on a
large scale in this country.
The United States imports its linen
fabrics from the United Kingdom.
mainly from Ireland. Imports last
year were in the neighborhood Of
42.000.Oo0 square yards. with a total
value of about s2S,000,000.
Industry Here Not Successful.
Several efforts have been made to
produce linen in this country, but
all of them have failed. principally
for the reason. it is explained, that
labor costs were too high. Flax. the
plant from which the fiber is obtained.
is grown in the west for other pur-
poses. but it was found that harvest

THE RAILROAD CRISIS

TNliE denial by the Railway Labor Board
yesterday afternoon of the request Of tho
railroads for the resembling of the wage
agreements and for a rcopcning of tho Uucs-
tion rostponcs but does not settle the issues
al stake.
The board reminds the railroads that its
decision on wages was rendered in July and
that the present hearing was to consider
working conditions. It will dispose of this
issue before il takes up anything else.
The board also held that il had no iuris-
diction over questions involving expense Of
operation. Its business under the railroad
law. is to regulate conditions Of labor and
rates of wages. The business Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission is to regulate
tho freight and passenger rates in such II way
as to provide adequate revenues to enable
the railroads to pay the wages and to yield
Il reasonable dividend on the invested capital.
While the action of tho board will avert n
labor crisis. it does nothing to relieve tho
financial condition of the railroads. The
roads must get more money in some way.
Tho government has not paid 10 them what
il owes and they cannot raise money in the
open market to provide the new equipment
needed.
The situation is critical. but there ought TO
be wisdom enough TO meet It.

one connected with the educational system,
from the teachers 10 the ianitorS.
This plan il based ON the theory that the
technical work Of education should be- wholly
In the hands Of technical experts. Many
plausible arguments can he offered in support

opinion will bc in favor OF the absolute sop

The school boards wish to have something

in this city the superintendent is empowered
