total Is not large. and that the securities
are owned almost exclusively by the rank
and Gle OF private investors throughout
this country.
sor1e guesses have been as high as
50, ,000. goo. .00o. but Mr.. Lamont dtscloses
that the amount actually outstanding
now is less than sS1S, 100000, thus dis
posing of the assertion that American
bankers are urging the cancellation
Of the allied debts to the United States
Government on the theory that the bank
crs are heavy holders of European Gov

Approximately s2.5S7, 100000 was the

URGES P UBLIC
 TO BE PATIENT
 WITH RAILROADS
Problems of Transportation Are Discussed - Co.,
 operation Is Asked.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14 - The vital part that railroads play in the wei fare and prosperity of the farming industry as well as the country at large was stressed by C. H. Mark ham. president of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad, who addressed the an nual convention of the National As sociation on Farm Equipment Manu- lecturers here.
 "A few months ago railroads found it difficult to provide storage space for idle equipment and now they are hard pressed to supply cars needed for the transportation of coal, farm products, building and construction materials and many other commodities" MT Markham declared.
 Business will continue to be good and railway traffic will be heavy this fall and winter, and there will be some unavoidable in- convenience to shippers. However, if the public will be patient, realiz- ing the handicaps under which rail roads are struggling and will be liberal in support and cooperation, we can go through the winter with cut serious distress"
 The problem of transporting the nations farm crops. usually reach ing peak volume during the fall months, is further handicapped this year by the additional coal ship ments necessitated by the strike which made shipments impossible during the slack summer months he said.
 The 1921 farm crop was sowr and brought to harvest at mater tally reduced costs when compared with the last few years. This means that farmers bid fair to make profits that can be spent in the purchase of goods.
 Industry generally has been get ting back to normal after the Ions depression, although its return haI been interrupted by strikes. Now however, the industrial skies ar, clearing and We shall find the em ployment situation improving con stantly." h

REFORM WAVE IN CUBA HAS
 NOW RECEDED
Forty-hve Million Dollar Graft Charges Have War;
 ious Phases.

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 14.-Afte.' threatening at one time to engulf
 the administration, the tidal wave
 of moral reform which raised it's head when the contents of the fla nous 13 Crowder memoranda became public last June, has begun to recede. The backwash has left the judicial Investigations into various phases of the 45,000,000 graft charges file l by Representative Bartolome Sagaro high and dry, as far as public senti- ment is concerned.
 Special Judge Augusto ,Saladrigas, upon whose shoulders fell the burden of formulating indictments in the more important cases. has been re. lieved of one of his most onerous charges, that of probing into the al legged malversation of lottery funds during the first year of the Zayas
 administration "The Upright Judge" IS he is popularly called. has been substituted by Francisco Llac y Ar gudn until the supreme court decides whether a technical objection raised by the states attorney will prevent
 Saladrigas from continuing his ac- tuation.
 The lottery case attracted much at tention when it first came before
 the public, especially in view of the fact that President Zayas last June in a decree suggested and urgently pressed by Major General E. H. Crowder, ended the previous illegal collection of almost $10,OOO,0o0 a year through a g to 50 per cent overcharge to the public for tickets. Plenty of work remains for "The Upright Judge" however, in his at tempts to bare the real facts in the
 disappearance of s100000 in Liberty
 Bonds from the national treasury and in the graft charges against the
 Havana municipal administration.
 Similar investigations are being
 made by Special Judge Gabriel Van dana into the non-cxistence Of So, ,OOO 900 of special pension and oth

MINIATURE CITY
 IS MOST UNIQUE
Is Erected from Lumber from Own Sawmill = Lighted
 by Own Electricity.

SEATTLE. Nov 14-A miniature city, lighted by electricity from it's own plant and erected from lumber cut by it's own sawmill, was recently completed at tho site of the city of Seattlc's hydro electric project on Gorge Creek, 100 miles northeast of here, to house employees and their families.
 The first step in the project was to install the employees in com fortable quarters. which meant pro- viding homes and means for recrea- tion The site is 26 miles from. the terminus of branch line of the Great Northern railroad without even a good wagon road over which ma chincry and materials might be transported City engineers finally decided to construct a standard gauge railroad over the mountains to the scene of their work
 Takes Place on Map
 A few months later engines that were to drive the mill were hauled over the new railroad and presently were delivering lumber at the rate of 25.O00 board feet day. Another few weeks and tho town, with it's commissary, it's athletic fields. nov ies, library. dance hall, homes, took its place on the map of Washington.
 Then a power plant was construct ed to supply light and later to opcr- ate all machinery used in connection with the development. To accomplish this a timber crib diversion dam was built on Newhalem Creek near by. From this dam a 2,6S9-foot tun- nel carries tha water to the power plant on the Skagit River, where the generators create 5000 horsepower.
 Great Horsepower
 This preliminary work paved the way for the construction of a plant on Gorge Creek, now about half fin ished. to deliver from it's two gener- ating units 50.0O0 horsepower of cur rcnt 10 Seattle. representing a cost of s9.7O0,000 It will be so con str,,cted. however, that with the ad- dition of a proposed second unit its capacitv will be increased to 112.500 horsepower and the cost to sl3,- 900 900.
 The ultimate problem in connee- ton with this project. according to city officials. will be to find a mar ket for the electrical energy thus developed. The runicipally owned

AUSTRIA IS IN
 NEED OF MONEY
Government Is Laying Heavy Hands on Tariffs of
 Public Utilities.

VIENNA, Nov. 14--In it's desperate effort to raise revenue, the govern ment is laying heavy hands on pub lie utility tariffs Within the past month postage has been increased three fold, external telegraph rates 250 per cent, and railway passenger rates Is fold Today an increase in telephone charges is announced which, in addition to recent in crease, makes a 12 fold advance over August.
 At the present rate of exchange 12 calls day, the Austrian minimum costs SIP month; 20 calls, $26; 3S calls, $52, and special tariffs above that. Austria has no unlim- tied service.
 Tn this connection the Neue Freie Presse asserts that an American group, more than three months ago, approached the government with a view to taking over the telephone service, but has received no reply to it's proposal.
 There is a general demand that the post, telephone and telegraph ad- ministrations be again consolidated under one department. The Social Democratic government when in pow CT, separated the post from the other two and created a new department with a great increase in personnel. This proposed consolidation. how ever, involves the formidable prob lem of decreasing the number of em- ployees. something at which every ministry has baked.
