is that the primary cause Of gap4s

worms, or other such organisms Ct

symptoms of gapes are difficulty in
breathing, sneeZing, and a whisGing

general weakness in the appearance
of the bird and dropping wings The

there is a general gasping for
breath. The birds as a rule stand

HUGHES new HAVEN
VIEW SEEN JUSTIFIED
Progress Toward Settlement of
Europe's Problem Held Likely
by Dawes Report.
EVEN REJECTION NOT FATAL
Public Opinion Enlightened, Of
ficials Here Point Out.

Officials here will study in detail
the reports of the special committees
set up by the reparations commission
before attempting to comment.
There is no attempt, however. to
conceal the hope of the American
government that the reports will be
found acceptable to the allied powers
and that in them the key to the settle
ment of the reparations tangle Will
be discovered.
1t is realized that the crux of the
European situation lies in the settle
ment of reparations and no adjust
ment of other problems, however i'm
portant they may be from an eco
nomic standpoint, can be effected until
a definite and accepted basis has been
found for the discharge of repara-
tions claims.
Seen as Step Forward.
If the European powers reach an
agreement on the experts plan for
reparations settlement, it is assumed
by those in closest touch with the
administrat tion's foreign policy that
Europe will have arrived at the point
described by Secretary Hughes in his
New Haven speech of December, 1922.
where 1.-The avenues of American help
fulness cannot fail to open hopefully"
The views outlined by Secretary
Hughes at New Haven, when he pro-
posed that small group of men 'of
the highest authority in finance in
their respective countries" be APP
pointed to work out a figure which
Germany could pay and financial
plan for making the payments, are
held by him virtually unchanged by
which have since taken
place.
Rejection Not Fatal.
Even rejection of the report by the
reparations commission, it is felt,
would not take away its value, since
it will have served to enlighten pub
lie opinion and have given the world
the advantage of an impartial
opinion. That view was expressed by
Secretary Hughes at New Haven in
these words:
"If governments saw fit to reject
the recommendation upon which such
a body agreed, they would be free to
do so, but they would have the ad-
vantage of impartial advice and of an
enlightened public opinion. Peoples
would be informed, the question
would be rescued from assertion and
counter and the problem
nut upon it's way to solution"

MANAGEMENT

For years the Nickel Plate rail-
 road was regarded as an inconse-
 quential streak of rust. Its main line
 runs from Cleveland to Chicago
 contrary to most of the maps pub-
 lished since the recent merger--and its passenger trains betwen the two
 cities took hours longer to make the
 run than those over the New York
 Central.
 Indeed, the New York Central for years had controlling interest in the Nickel Plate and conducted it as freight carrier. with few trains day for local traffic and differ- ential rate, for through passenger traffic.
 But when the Van Sweringens got hold of the line it began to feel the impetus of good management. A vice president of the New York Gen. tral was engaged as president and another noted railroad executive made general manager. Business be- gan to pick up almost over night. They went out after freight business and got 1t on the strength of superior serivce. The builders of the Nickel Plate had constructed a line re- markably free of curves and grades, SO that 1t is possible to maintain one of the fastest freight services in the country. Note that this refers to freight service, not passenger.
 When new roads were acquired the Van Sweringens continued to provide good management; and their enterprises have been uniformly suc- ,essful. The effect of the Nickel Plate mergers upon other railroads will be most wholesome.
 If is said that after the Interstate Commerce Commission passes on the ombine with the Erie and the Pere ,Iarouctte, the Van Sweringens VIII 70 out after the l.ackawanna. rms ,ould give them double entry into ,ew York city. It may be that after hese modern wonder workers get all hey need west of the Hudson river f hey might be induced to come into { Jew England. From all accounts his would be nothing for New Eng ind shippers and the travelling pub r c to worry about. {
