 Big, jovial Warren 0, Kendall, chairman of the HAIRS Oar Service Division, can tell you all about 1t, in terms that are understandable to persons other than 2S-year railroad veterans, although ha himself falls within that classification, Every one of the 1000, GOO freight cars in the country Is in the HAIRS Equip ment Register, listed by si1e, shape, number and other characteristics, Each freight car "haS Its own indi- viduAlity," Kendall says.
 All the eountry'S Class I railroads has signed Q car service agreement for handling of freight cars on for eign" roads, A car belonging to an adjacent road must be sent home when 1t is unloaded, whether there Is Q return load available or not, and If empty 1t has to go by the nearest junction, If the car belongs to Q distant road, 1t should be loaded In the general direction Of "home", A road may not send its own cars to foreign" duty If other cars are available,

 These men greatly miSjudged German reaction, As many of them have done ever since, out of loyalty to Germany, The general and the soldier deserved to be punished for their plot against the state, A dignifled judiciary and Q pefeeptivo press could have convinced the people of this nee eessity, But irony and jeefB only aroused their protective instincts and intensified their latent anti. Semitism.
 General Ludendorff had exulted to his wife in 1913 that the Re. public was alFeady lost because 1t had failed to execute him and his associates, Hitler had an equal right Co triumph during tho Mu. nieh trial, The judge, who was in the pay of the Republic, who had taken an oath to the Republic displayed such utter seFvlllty to Hitler that Q Reiehswehr officer, who had been called In aR Q wits ness, left the court In protest,
 Tho peoples response showed the depth Of their feeling, for tho fortress of LaHdsberg on Leeh, where Hitler was sentenced as an Honorable political prisoner" was fiodoed with flowers and gifts, It was a remote place, but Hitler had constant stream of pFomi. nent visitors both from Germany and from abroad,

Christian thought insists or the raising Of the pfoietaFiat, and the achievement Of this in c firm and generous way appears to every true follower Of Christ net only as afi earthly progress but also fulfiiis inefit Of z moral obligation. ,,.
 christian conscience cannot ad- init ag right 6 social order that denies the principle or renders in. possible and useless in practice the natural right Of ownership Of c0rD- fn0dities atld means Of production, Nor can t accept systems that AGs knowledge tie right Of private ownership according 10 an alto" geth6r false conception and that are opposed 10 c true and healthy social order
 Therefore, whenever capitalism bases itself upon such erroneous con. captions and afFozates unlimited right to property without any subs ordination to the common good the church has eof1denIBed tt as contrary to the rights Of man. ,,,
