MORE RAILROADS MAKE PEACE
UNDER BALTIMORE PLAN, But
N. Y. C. REMAINS OUT OF MOVE

at the Jobs they left July. !, when
the nation wide shipments strike
began.
Reports of a general return to
work by striking sh0pmen on roads
which agreed to the Baltimore
plan brought predictions by union
leaders that the estimated number
of 5000 returned strikers on
southern roads would be effected
within a few weeks.
II was estimated that the rail-
roads now have 85 per cent OF a
normal force. The estimate was
based both on the number of re-
turned strikers and on reports
from roads which held aloof from
the Baltimore terms and all medl-
atory negotiations with the strik-
ina shop crafts organizations and
recruited their forces independent
Nv. New shop unions were formed
on some of these roads.

Tropics Opened to,

Manila, Dec. IS. (By Mail to United Press .-Dr. Linn Boon Keng. president of the new university at Annoy, told the American chamber .of commerce here today that the work of the American scientists at the bureau of science in Manila has opened the tropics to the white man. These men evolved treatments for amoebic and baccillary dysentery which have removed the dread of those diseases in the tropics. He said this work alone justified all the expense on account of the bu- reau of science, but many other mo- table things have been achieved by it, for example, spread of general scientific knowledge of the efficacy of Chaulmoogra oil in treating lep- rcsy, a task in which Filipinos have assisted.

Il will be seen that in 1920 the farmers fell faster than the rest of us. They had further to fall.
 What the result may have been in 1921 cannot yet be determined, because while farmers again suffer ed heavy losses, the rest of the country also ran into a period of severe depression.

WOULD HAVE UNITEDSTATES
 REPRESENTED
Germany Believes That Genoa Conference Should Settle the Preparations ls- sue.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Germany
 according to it's diplomatic repre- sentatives, who are functioning again in Washington, believes that | American participation in the Genoa conference is the only hpoe for a satisfactory solution of the repara- tions problem and consequent sta Utilization of European economic con ditions.
 At the German embassy it was said yesterday that the German gov ernment is convinced the Genoa con ference will be little better than farcical, if it attempts to solve the European economic tangle without bringing about a just and equitable solution of the reparations issue. The influence of the United States
 in the conference, the Germans be- lieve, would go far to enforce a req sonable decision.
 Reports from Berlin that the Ger man government is preparing to open negotiations with the United States looking to loan of con siderable proportions were deprecat- ed by the German diplomatic repre- sentatives. The embassy here is without any such advice, it was said, and officials declared that Germany had some time ago abandoned the idea of making large international loans so long as the reparations question remains in abeyance.
 If he reparations question can be settled, however, the Germans be- lieve they might be in a position to- approach the United States on the| subject of loan with some hope of success.
 At the State Department it was said this government knew nothing of the reported plan of the German to negotiate loan from the United States through Hugo Shines and others.

 Washington was, 1. A pioneer advocate of appropriation. 2. First to import and raise mules. 3. First to attempt the raising of alfalfa 4. Studied and practiced soil i'm provement and use of fertilizers ,, A leader in horticulture. 6. Pro noted stock breeding. 2. Prac- ticed farm cost accounting. 8. Struggled to obtain the most modern methods of farm machinery and 
 Looking at life through the eyes of one who was lover of the soil, he left this observation to the American people:

COMMITTEE HEARS MELLON
 ON THE BONUS
Secretary Is Quizzed as to Various Means of Financ- ing-Sides With Presi- dent.

Washington, Feb. 22.AThe seven Republicans of the House Ways and Means Committee who are charged with solving the problem of financ- | ing the soldiers bonus expect to get down to brass tacks today, Chair man Fordney said late yesterday, after the committeeman had had another general discussion of the whole question with Secretary Mel Ion.
 The treasury secretary was heard behind closed doors, but he is said to have taken substantially the same position that he did at the opening hearings two weeks ago, when he repeated his opposition to bonus at this time, but declared that if such legislation is to be passed it should be financed by a sales tax or some other form of taxation.
 Asked what the treasury would do if Congress passed bonus bill as a general charge against the treasury, Mr. Mellon replied that the amount would be paid by is suing short term certificates. He opposed this form of financing, how ever, on the ground that it might affect the interest rates on the re- funding of certificates due in 1923. He said that as between sales tax or a bond issue for the bonus, he would recommend the former.
 Sales Tax Likely.
 Belief at the capitol continues to be that some form of sales or manufacturers tax will be recom- mended. It is said that with Presi- dent Harding opposed to both the original tax programs suggested and to the issuance of bonds, the fielu has been narrowed to a sales tax or the drafting of a measure that would be a general charge on the treasury.
 This last plan is supported by some Republican leaders of the House and also by those who are leading the opposition to sales tax. Representative Frear of Wis Consin said that he believed he spoke the sentiment of "a hundred Repub- lican members of the House to the effect that sales tax would be opposed or any rule seeking to impose it on the members" He explained that his announcement was based on the fact that 70 Re publicans had signed petition against any sales tax, and that many others would sign.

Bible Society Will
 Continue Its Work

New York, Feb 22.-The change that has been announced in the manufacturing policy of the Ameri-
 can Bible Society seems to have been misunderstood in some quarters and the officers of the society have issued the following statement:-
 The American Bible Society, con trary to certain reports has not given up it's publishing business in which it has been engaged for more than 100 years, and has had no thought of so doing. It will con- tinue as a publishing house, issuing the Scriptures in more than 150 lan- guages and dialects, having it's work done through various printing con- cerns. It will continue to control it's own plates, so as to preserve the accuracy of it's version for which it has received recognition and ac- 
 This change of policy ill it's printing program has been dictated by the fact that the society is con vinced that it can do it's printing more economically elsewhere than it can by conducting it's own printing establishment
 There will be an actual increase ill the society's output and this change of policy marks a distinct advance and is in no sense re- trenchment in it's program of Scrip ture publication.
 The society has no thought of moving it's headquarters from New York. It's executive offices continue in the Bible House, Astor Place, New York city. The officers of the society are: Churchill H. Cutting, president; William Haven and Frank H. Mann, general secretaries; Gil- bert Darlington, treasurer.

 VACCINATION IS
 DEMONSTRATED
Arkansas Holds Dow n Spread and Fatality of Small -Pox While Border States Suffer.

Little Rock, Feb 22-The rec ords of the State Health office clearly demonstrate the efficacy of vaccination for the prevention of smallpox. During the year 1914 there were 5000 cases of smallpox reported in Arkansas. In 1915 there were 5900 cases reported, ev- cry county in the state being in cluded in the list of infection. Schools were closed in many local ities because of the epidemic and while the disease was not virulent, there were about 20 deaths.
 In 1916 the vaccination regula- tions became effective and during the war period from the fall of 1917 to the fall of 1919, there were at least 300,000 adults in the state who were vaccinated As result of these regulations and the vac cination of all persons coming from infected districts, who had been in contact with the disease, resulted in a phenomenal reduction in the number of cases has been effected
 There have been thousands of severe cases of smallpox on the Louisiana, Oklahoma and Missouri borders of the state, but so thor ough has been the practical quar- antine through the vaccination of contacts that there were only 419 cases reported during the year 1921 and only deaths.
