ROADS MUST CUT
OPERATING COST
TWENTY PER CENT
Says Samuel O. Dunn, Editor Of
Railway Age, Adviser OF
! Railway Executives

BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH.
CHICAGO, May 2. Twenty per
cent reduction in all operating ex-
penses, including wages, Is necessary
to put American railroads ION their
feet" and make possible a substan-
tial decrease in freight and passenger
rates.
Samuel o. Dunn, editor Of the
Railway Age and an adviser to the
Association of Railway Executives,
made this statement to the United
Press.
Dunn, who speaks oficially for the
American railroads, characterized
the charge of w. Jet Lauck, Ameri-
can Federation of Labor economist,
that the railroads are wasting bill
lion dollars year by mismanage-
ment, as pure propaganda to dis
credit private management and boost
the Plumb plan"
Every Item Should Be Cut.
There should be a reduction in
operating expenses of 20 per cent or
s1,2O0,000,000s year." declared
Dunn, "but it is preposterous to con-
tend that such a saving could be
effected without reducing the pay
roll. Every item Of expense should
be cut"
Dunn declared it will require a
saving of s4OO,000,O0O to $500, 000,-
900 annually to enable railroads as a
whole to earn an annual return OF
six per cent, without which they can
not secure capital to make necessary
improvements.
1.-THE remaining sS00,000.000 OF
the 20 per cent saving should be used
to effect an equivalent reduction in
freight and passenger rates." Dunn
declared.
Five Billion Go to Labor.
OF normal operating expenses OF
,30O,OO0,00O a year, $4,000, 000.-
900 was going to labor, Dunn stated
therefore" he said, "to make the
saving estimated by Lauck without
reducing payrolls, other expenses
must be cut so per cent.
/ "Manifestly the prices charged
the railroads for materials and fue
could not be decreased without frs
greatly reducing wages paid to EN-
ployes Of manufacturing plants ant
mines"

SAN Antonio, Tex, Nov. "a SEN

service was returned in open court at
Fort Sam Houston by general court
martial in the case Of Major Guy H.
Wyman. cavalry, charged in seven
specifications with violation Of the
ninety-ffth article of war and found
guilty Of six. The specifications hinged
around the manner in which the de-
fendant married a French ward. No
offence against the civil law was
charged.
The record Of the trial shows that
while on duty in France, a French
girl was adopted and brought back to the
United States. Soon afterward the first
wife Of the defendant left her husband
and on December Is a divorce was
granted in Pensacola. Fla. Two days
later the defendant and his present wife
were married.
The testimony of the first wife largely
dealt with the manner in which she
said she was forced to leave her home
because Of the presence OF the French
ward.

TITLED WOMAN NOW REFUGEE
 AMONG POLES

1 WARSAW, March 16 (by Associat- ed Press). from palace to i hovel, some of the members of the aristocracy of old Russia now are pealing potatoes or chopping wood here for a living.
 Five thousand men and women and children, some of whose resounding titles once brought them homage and courtiers are clustered here after having fled to Poland before the Bol- sheviki. Helping them to help them selves is Madame Ludmila Lubnoff, herself a refugee, though born prin- | cess of one of the oldest Russian houses and the wife of the former
 civil governor of Warsaw.
 This remarkable woman is conduct soup kitchens, sewing rooms and workshops for members of her un- happy class and taking orders from her are men who once commanded the armed forces of the Russian em- peror. On her staff are admirals, generals, governors, mayors and mem-
 bers of the old Petrograd court, while her husband has laid aside his , gubernatorial duties to become her secretary.
 A beautiful woman, she hides the
 tragedy of her life under an optimism that is an example to the unhappy
 folk to whom she ministers. A wom- 1 an of action, too, for she escaped from Petrograd with her two sons
 after freeing her husband from the l fortress of Peter and Paul and arm
 ing him with fictitious passport

 Lubnoff organized the Warsaw l branch of the Russian Red Cross,

 Sparing not herself, Madame Lubi- noff has not spared the colony of
 refugees which included many of the
 former Russia nobility. In the soup

NEW RADIO COMPASS
 GUIDE TO MARINERS

WASHINGTON, March Is (by AS sociated Press) the blind gray fog rolls down over the entrance to Chesapeake bay and sad voiced fog-horns below "'ware shoal," stubby government craft blows out into the thick of it to plot a new course to safety for those who come up from the sea in ships.
 Aboard the tender, as the shouting of the foghorns grow vague in her wake and blurred n the baffling folds of the mist, men of the light house service lean, above the great dial of a new radio compass. Out of the air, minute by minute as the distant horns vail, impulses come from three points to set the direction neeCle wavering to point the way first towards one and then another danger far ahead. And from the readings of the compass, course is laid back into harbor in defiance of the fog and it's perils. The tests  are being made by the lighthouse service in cooperation with the bu- reau of standards and have to do with learning the efficiency of de- vices for projecting automatic radio signals from fog stations to supple ment the mournful hOoting of the horns. Eventually every lighthouse and lightship may hurl it's warning out far beyond the range of sight Or hearing for conservative govern ment reports say the experiments "give excellent promise of the sue cess of this probably greatest ad- vance in fog-signal engineering"
