willing to wager n neat sum with any

Graglch and Sumar had great hopes
they would be able to settle the cues

are in China when they went INTO

Kennedy to decide which of the two

APPEAL FOR SERVICE MAN.

The American Legion in an address
to the public, asks that service men
be given preference in selecting en-
ployes, The Legion says that 500, 900
service men are idle. many of them
walking the streets wondering where
there next meal vs. TO come from. In
some states relief laws are operating
to furnish these men with the. bare
necessities of life, but many states
have enacted no such law. The nation
al congress has delayed action on dis
ability and compensation bills until
they will be too late to prevent suffer
ing, even though they should be speed
ily enacted when it reconyenes.
This is a subject that should be very
near to every American heart. A sit
uation comparable with this would not
have been tolerated for a minute dur
ing 1917 and 1918. 1t should not be
tolerated now. There is just as Strong
reason for solicitude for the service
man today as there was three years
ago when he was in cantonment, on
transport, or in the trenches.--Illinois

FREIGHT CONDITIONS BETTER.

For the first time In year the rail
roads now report reduction in the
number OF bad-urder freight cars. This
Ia shown by the semi-monthly report
complied by tho Car Service Division
Of the American Railway Association
FOR the period ending Sept. 1. when the
number Of cars needing repairs was
37a,0sT, or i6.2 per cent OF the total, as
compared with 1876 per cent or ss2. 2.4l0,
on Aug. 10. or the box cars, the percent
age. "a compared with 1872 per cent on
Aug. 15.There was also a reduction in
the number Of bad-order coal cars.
The recent increase In the volume Of
traffic handled. particularly grain. has
made Il necessary TO put more cars in
service while giving the carriers some
increase IN revenue with which to de-
so, and the reduction in wages which
went into effect on July has also in
creased the ability Of the reads 10 in
crease their repair forces. The bad
order car situation is not one 20 brae
about particularly, for tho decrease In
cars needing repairs IN two weeks was
less than the decrease in serviceahlt
surplus cars In one week, but the fact
that an Improvement Is being showr
at last IL source of satisfaction.
| For the week ending Sept. fher,
were 237.972 surplus cars in service
able condition. For the first sever
me nths Of 1921. for which the Inter
state Commerce Commission has re
ported the railroad earnings and ex
penses. the railroad expended s737,
100000 for maintenance Of equipment
which was s11i .000.0 900 less than the,
had expended on this account in tn
corresponding period OF 1920. For tn
same period there was a reduction o
S1t3. .000, 900 in expenditures for main
tenance Of way.
Part of the reduction in expense
represents real economy and part 'rep
resents the lessened volume OF bus
ness, but the extent to which the ra
roads have been Obliged to curtail an

Importance to their work than any

exist, il would have to be invented.
One real success will in this respect

above all things is the vital energy
of personal forces. It's danger is the
dullness of mechanical minds.
1t was on the initiative of Lord
Robert Cecil, supported by NJ. Viviani,
that the Commission on Armaments
decided as a general rule to hold its
