FATE OF THE MARK

For every gold mark in Germany,
there are now outstanding lilo marks
Of paper currency. Americans who
purchased German marks in the
early stages of initiation had better
sell now while they still have some
trifling value, because all evidences
point to eventual reputation. For
NAL reputation is not necessary, be
cause almost complete, although
gradual, de facto reputation has al
ready taken place. Portlanders who
SO gaily bought marks a year ago
with the hope of doubling their mon
ey, haven't a Chinaman's chance;
nor have they any better chance Of
getting their investment back, ex-
cept very trifling proportion.

Why the Railroads We're
Taken Over by Government

(The following bulletin is published
by the request of the local members
OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Editor.l
why did the United States
government, on January /, 1917
take over the control of the rail-
roads and operate them during
the war and until February 20,
1907"
This question was answered by
William Gibbs McAdoo, former di-
rector general of railroads during
federal control, before the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
ON February 2, 1922. He said:
In the fall of 1917 the ineffi-
cheney of the American railroads
made them Internationally, but
nevertheless actually, the
strongest ally OF the German
Kaiser. The collapse of the
railroads under the burden OF
war traffic had almost cut the
line of communication between
the American army at the front
and its base of supplies"
When the United States entered
the war, it had agreed to supply Ger.
tain quantities of food to feed the
allied armies and civil populations
Railroad congestion under private
management made it impossible to
keep these commitments.
ALLIED NATIONS
FACED STARVATION
On February, 1918, the situation
was extremely black for the allies. y
On the sth day of that month the
President sent to McAdoo q collec-
tive message from the Prime Minis
ters OF Great Britain, France and
Italy. saying:
Cd That the bread cereals sent
from North America were in Decem-
Der, 1917. 100000 tons below the
amount fixed by the Paris confer.
ence: and in January more than
100000 tons below the adopted pro.
gram.
CD That this deficit OF 100000
otns had been caused by the conges-
ton OF the railroads and the lack OF
cars and coal and would result in 3
condition especially serious through.
out the allied states.
go That the failure of the
railroads to deliver food had
already resulted In the rations
of the Italian army being twice
reduced and the, rations of the
French army once; that unless
food supplies were rushed to
Europe Immediately and in ade-
quate quantities starvation
would inevitably overtake the
civil population OF the allies;
that the armies could not be
adequately supported and that
defeat would undoubtedly re-
suit.
The Railroad Administration upon
control, Immediately gave
its attention to this exceedingly
grave problem. Empty cars were

The Gulf Stream, however, whose

In the area throdgn which Pea

From the southern coast of Green

grow only from 15 inches to three
feet and the MOSES more than a foot
high he skirted the western coast Of
this country through Davis Strait,
and Baffin Bay to Etah, an Eskimo
village on South Sound. He knew.
as other explorers knew before him,
that a current frequently ran In that
series OF straits between northwest

lands of Arctic America known as II

Grant Land, which might enable him
to push his vessel nrothward 70 Cape

Due TO the knowledge and skin of
the party, their vessel reached its
destination. which was the farthest
northward taht any ship has ever
steamed.
