value OF their holdings of railroat
bonds decreased BY approximately ss..
sso'ooa. This meant, OF course. that in
hye years these four life insurance
companies, upon whose continued sol.
vency thousands of policyholders de.

iiaes, lost approximately s11 900 600 be.
cause OF their investment in railroad
bonds. Ard this WAS before our entry
into the war and before the losses
which accompanied and followed the
governments operation of the rail-
roads. During this fivc-year period, OF
course. the individual owners Of rail-
road bonds suffered in like propor.
tlon. Individual stockholders undoubt.
ediy suffered more. And these losses
were undoubtedly as real and as seri-
Gus to them as the losses to which you
refer IN your statement are to the
farmers,
As a result, issues Of railroad Sc.
car'ties, which ten and fifteen years
ago were of common occurrence, are
row comparatively rare. The reason ID
that the public will not buy them. The
public prefers to invest in the securi-
ties OF corporations which are not so
open to political attack. And If the
public will not finance the railroads
see no immediate prospect Of the rail
roads being able to buy the cars and
other equipment needed to move the
Minnesota and Michigan crops.
Resentment at the Eastern point of
view, which have attempted to sum.
Marie above, will not move the crops.
Neither will the election of Sidney
Anderson as Speaker of the House.
Would it not be more practical for the
West and the East TO unite in an effort
to restore the confidence of investors,
both East and West, in the safety of
railroad stocks and bonds as an invest
ment? EDWARD b. BOIES.

To the Editor of The Tribune:

To the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir: Mr.. William II. Anderson, state
superintendent CT the Anti-Saloon
League, publishes the following inter
esting ''alibis" for the defeat of the
Republicans and the drys at the recent
election:
1. "The denomination Of the wet
nullification Senator Calder"
2. "The consequent failure OF the
(Republican) State Convention TO
put into the state platform plank
declaring at least for enforcement
of the law
8. '"The refusal of Governor Miller
to accept the nomination Of the Pro-
hibition party"
4. Refusal to make any appeal to
the moral and law abiding element
on the basis of enforcement; .
and the apparent trading out of the
law and order Governor for the wet
Senator" 483i
8. Concerted Republican organi-
zation attempts to make it appear
that Governor Miller is as wet, as
much opposed to prohibition and as
much in favor of beer as Mr.. Smith"
While the above are condensed, they
contain the principal points Of the
alibis. Taking them up in order:
Answer to No. lit is conceded by
Republicans generally
that if dry candidate had been nomi-
mated instead Of Senator Calder the
dry would have Jared much worse than
did the notification Senator" And it
is interesting to note how often Mr..
Anderson applies the epithct "nullifica-
tion" to any one opposed to fanatical
enforcement of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, but he has never yet been heard
to apply it to nullifers Of other provi-
sions Of the Constitution. As a matter
Of fact, the Anti-Saloon League, if not
actively assisting in, is at least winking
at, the notification of the Fifteenth
Amendment and Section 2 of the Four
tcenth, and might also with good rea-
son be called to account for it's mani-
fest contempt Of the Fourth, which
provides that "the right Of the people
to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers and effects against unreasonable
searches and seizures shall not be vio-
lated, To the average citizen the
Eighteenth Amendment is entitled to
no more respect than the Fourth, Four
teenth and Fifteenth.
Answer to No. 2-If the Republican
state platform had contained dry
plank or q law enforcement plank,
which amounts to the same thing, Gov

 T was afraid. If that were 50. that I should not be able to finish my task here. But 1t is ended now, and I don't care two pins."
 M. Clemenceau's American tour was replete with incidents which touched his sense of humor. According to MT. gressional, political or newspaper at- tacks but enjoyed and welcomed them as giving him an opportunity to make replies. The only incident he regret ted, his manager said, was what he characterized as dissertation of the tomb of Lincoln during his pilgrim age of reverence there when photo graphers created considerable dis turbance with shouts and flashlight explosions. The fumes choked him and he was forced to hasten to the open air.
 The visitors chief amusement, his manager asserted, came from the cus- tom of Americans in addressing him as "Em" Clemenceau.
 The former premier's conclusion upon leaving the United States was said to be that Americans had mis- judged the French as much as they had misjudged the situation in Flu rope. Closer personal contact be- tween the citizens of the two coun- tries in coming generations he was said to feel must be effected if Am erica's sacrifice in the war were not to be in vain.

American field service was organ ized and directed by Representative Pyatt Andrew of Massachusetts to en- able young Americans to do ambu- lance work in France before the United States had entered the war. It was in recognition of this that M. Clemenceau selected as beneficiary of his tour the American field service fund fellowships organized after the American field service had been dis banded with the end of the war, to perpetuate the names of 127 members by creating like number of schol- arships to send young men of each country to universities in the other. Only 30 have been established, how ever, because the greater part of the funds total set at $3,5oo.ooo remains to be raised through contributions. The Tigers surplus, it was an- nounced, would make "Clemenceau scholarships available to deserving students.

The considerable sum remain ing after the cost of the tour had been deducted was said by MT. Monsal to be due to the cooperation of M. Clemenceau's friends in cutting the expenses of the trip.

Judge to Hear Custer
Of Sheriff Is Named

Lincoln. June 6.-The Nebraska
supreme court today, on the appli-
cation of Sheriff Charles Rutledge of
Thurston, named Judge A. NJ. Post
OF Columbus to try the custer case
started. against Rutledge by Gov
ernor McKelvie.
A. R. Oleson, attorney for Rut-
ledge, requested the court for
change of judges, objection being
taken to Judge Guy Graves of Pen
der. The change takes the case out
of the Eighth district.
In Governor McKelvie's charges
against Rutledge it is alleged that
the latter was at times intoxicated
and failed to enforce the liquor laws.
Rutledge was ordered suspended
pending the outcome of the custer
suit, but so far has persistently re-
fused to give up his post. He claims
that the portion of the prohibition
law relating to custer proceedings
is void, because the substance of the
section is not mentioned in the title
of the act.

Des Moines, June 6.-(Special Tel

nominee to succeed William S. Ken
Won in the United States senate.
His majority is steadily increasing
as the rural counties report, and it
is declared by those in close touch
with his campaign that he will have
at least 43 per cent of the total vote
when all OF 1owa's 2,348 precincts
are heard from.
The Brookhart victory is consid-
cred triumph for progressive forces
and the independent voter unequalled
by the results of any previous Iowa
election. His vote showed traA
mendous strength in districts where
least expected, and, to the surprise
even of his friends. he polled large
vote even in such sections as the
fashionable residence district of Des
Moines.
His total vote is far more than
double that of any of his opponents.

place on the returns to date. there

of High Government

Washington, D. C., June 6.-Rear-
rangement Of the present scheme of
German reparations is to be expected
il tangible results are achieved by
the conference Of international bank
ers now discussing a loan to Germany
at The Hague, in the opinion today
of high government officials.
Officials in close touch with hnan-
cial and economic developments in
this country and abroad expressed the
view, which was coincided in by
Secretary Mellon, that a German
bond issue could not be foated in
the United States, which would be
looked to for most of the loan utl-
less attractive security is offered for
the investment of American money
in German obligations.
Laying aside political considera-
tions involved in possible re-
arrangement of reparations payment,
and basing their conclusions upon
money market conditions in this
country. officials asserted that unless
bonds issued under the terms of an
international loan to Germany were
to have priority in German revenues
as security in preference to the ex-
isting reparations bonds, very few
of the new obligations would be alb
sorbed in the American market. Un-
