 Each battalion will include three companies. One will be composed of train operating personnel, one Lf maintenance of way men and the third of maintenance of equipment men. It is hoped that the division superintendent will accept command of the battalion with rank of major. the trainmaster commanding the op- erating company as captain with his assistant and the terminal train masters as lieutenants; the division engineer commanding the mainten ance of way company with his assist ant as lieutenant and the division master mechanic commanding the maintenance equipment company with his assistant as lieutenant. En- listed personnel for each company would be drawn fro.a the entire sys- tenn so that in event of mobilization not mere than per cent of thu nec- essary technical personnel would be withdrawn, preventing any shortage of skilled men on the railroad itself.

 Cotton Reacts.
 After achieving new high record prices well above 31 cents, cotton re- acted toward the close of the week on profit taking. The strong statistical position of the commodity continues to be the chief support to bullish &C., tivities. Maintenance of a high rate of consumption by mills emphasize the smallness of the supplies which are left over from the old crop.
 Wheat prices recovered during the week in rather quiet trading. The governments report on stocks of grain held on farms as of March proved to be more bullish than was thought likely to be the case a week ago. Realization of thi- It af fairs lay behind the weeks advances.
 Money rates remain steady and the bank statements indicate that the credit position as whole is little changed. It would appear. however. that there has been movement of funds toward the large centers, and toward New York in particular. The explanation Is considered to lie part ly in preparation for the tax date and partly in the increased interest in the metropolitan markets.

the republican column voted solidly against the amendment. This fact, coupled with the fear of sponsors of the "skimmed" milk bill, then before the Senate. that the proposed amend ment would initiate against the ul- innate uccess of that bill. caused it's defeat
 But it will continue to remain a live issue, according to Senator Dial. He predicts that through another session his bill or some other bill Of kindred import will be forced. He declares that the exchanges cannot always win the victory even though they have established headquarters here, and that the remedy for the present situation does not consist In vocal procedure against the ex- changes. Conner Started issue.
 Senator Conner brought the issue to Washington when he completed the term of the late Senator Bank head. His ideas were expressed in an amendment offered to a pending bill. His amendment. over the vio- lent opposition of Senator Ransdell. was put through the Senate. At that time. other senators from the south, if they opposed the fegisla-
 
 fact. The House failed to take ac- tion. and the Conner effort was fu- tile.
 When, following the Conner term Senator Dial undertook to secure what was termed the necessary re- rllef for the farmer" Senator Conner gave him all the assistance that he could. He appealed to his successor, Senator Heflin. to aid Senator Dial But Senator Heflin, in reply. stated in effect that Senator Smith of South Carolina was absent. but that as soon as Senator Smith returned he would consult with him as to what could be done.
 Senator Conner again wrote Sem ator Heflin. In this letter he sug- gested that Senator Heflin not de- pend on Senator Smith. and added that he was never satisfied. during his own term of office, that Senator Smith favored tho legislation.
 It afterwards developed that Sem ator Smith had not favored the Co., mer bill. Against the Dial bill. he came out in the open.

ARpLANE WARNING SIGNAL.

The purpose of an automatic signal device, recently invented, is to give warning of the approach of an air plane. which usually descends to the ground with engine shut off, to per sons who may be on the landing field. The device. according to an il- lustrated article in the Popular Me chanics Magazine, is provided with suitable levers and rods so as to be under control of the pilot, and is mounted on q bracket within the fuselage and arranged to be swung out through an opening when it is desired to signal. The force of the air passing in through the bell shaped mouth of the horn, rotates an air motor that can be adapted to drive siren or other type of signal.

 France, continued NJ. Poincare, had no intention of jumping into wild adventures; she had no idea, as all legged, of occupying Frankfort and Heidelburg. France had sought to induce Germany to give her moral adhesion to the execution of the treaty of Versailles; France had made repeated concessions. but had finally reached the conviction that Germany never would fulfill her duty without the exercise of pressure.
 Now, the premier declared, France waited resolutely, and without im- patience. for the results. No offers of mediation would be welcomed by France, he said.
 In conclusion tine premier declared that French political circles were deeply interested in how the Ameri can people regarded the question of the Ruhr. He said h had ben vastly pleased by the reception of tele- grams from Washington indicating that the action of France and Bell gnlm each day was being better un- derstood and more favorably inter- preted throughout the American con- tinent.
