No cno can u?ny hut that the

Do not let thse boys whom we have

hungry, or be found without ample
munitions and war supplies that, they
may have an opportunity to fight
when they have to fight, do not let
its who can work, be in the position
of not supplying thenr with what in
needed. It doe's look a little cow

The idea of the government is to
build during" this year eight times
the tonnage which was constructed
during the year 1910, and to do this
everyone who can do his part in this
program will cf necessity have to get
to it and at onee. Co register and
then the sooner the government
knows where you arp and what you
can do. the sooner it can get you
into effective service as a builder of
shipping.
HAVE JOINED THE
CANADIAN ARMY
Frt,rt! iIim n'U; v's Daily.
Yesterday Henry G. Soennichsen
and Major Arries went to Omaha
and there joined the Canadian army,
and will go to Canada and from
there to the service. Henry Scen
nichsen, was for a number of months
at Camp Cody, and after having been
discharged on af count cf his feet
being broken down, came home aitd
''.oped to be allowed to go to the ser
vice when the second draft was call
ed. bi;t receiving but slight hopes
that lie would be able to pass, con
cluded to join the Canadian Army.
Likewise. Major Arries who has en
listed in the Aviation eorp. was sent
to Ft. Logan, Colorado, and while
there had the misfortune to receive
a slight hernia, which disqualified
him, and he was honorably dis
charged on account of the physical
disability. He with Mr. Soennichson
via-.-r joined the Canadian army.
These boys will make excellent
soldiers, and while slight physical
deficiencies would not permit their
passing they will make good, when
it comes tc all the functions of a
soldier. "Where they, have been sent
is not as yet known, but it is expect
ed they will be heard from at an
earlv date.
L ELECTIVE FLUE CAUSES FIRE.
V; in Wr-lh- y'ti-.y's 1 aily.
I.a-t night at near eleven o'clock,
the fire alarm sounded out in the
shrieking gale, telling cf a fire some
where. S.mi? ten peap! responded
to the call, s;x firemen and fo.:r citi
zens, who found the fire at the ex
treme northern portion cf the city,
at the" home of Byron Reed. The
property is owned by C. II. Eiggs, an 1
is a two story and basement. A
defective flue allowedthe f.re to get
out in the upper room falliirg on
the floor, and there igniting the
boards of which the floor was com
posed. A hole was burned through
the floor, and was extinguished be
fore the hose cart could get there,
as it was away cut and was being
draira-ed by the men. This looks like
that fire truck was needed which the
firemen have been asking for. The
fire did little damage.

U. S. OPPOSITION
CHARGES MADE BY BROTHER
HOOD CHIEFS DECLARED
FALSE: WAGE INCREASES
GRANTED AS OFTEN AS
POSSIBLE.
.Washington. Feb. 19. Cognizance
of charges byr ailroad employes that
the managements have attempted to
discredit government operation was
taken today by officials continuing
their submission of information to
the railroad wage commission. VE. T.
Whiter of Pittsburgh, assistant gen
eral manager of the Pennsylvania
lines west, in effect, denied the al
legations of the brotherhood chiefs.
"It was charged that we put an
inefficient yardmaster in charge at
Alliance, O.. resulting in serious de
lays," Mr. Whiter said, "There have
been a number of changes in yard
masters there and I do not know
which one was referred to, but if the
commission desires further informa
tion we will &idm them in obtaining
it."
Commissioner Covington said he
did not think the commission could
take the time to sift an isolated case.
As to slowing up traffic, which
also is charged, the witness contin
ued, "that would not be possible
without issuing orders to train dis
patchers, and I believe the commis
sion has had sufficient evidence from
the dispatchers themselves to con
vince you that was not done."
Mr. Whiter was one of six officials
who today presented statistics as to
wage increases and working condi
tions on their individual systems.
The others were J. T. Latimer, Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy; F. G.
Nicholson, Chicago & Eastern Illi
nois; C. H. Niemeyer, Pennsylvania
lines east; E. L. King, Southern Pa
cific, and E. C. Willis, Missouri Pa
cific. 1 Scarcity of labor was reported by
several officials.
All of the officials denied claims
that promotions for railroad em
ployes is slow, so that a man's chance
to obtain better pay by advancing in
grade is small. Most of them spoke
cf their own experiences, all having
started in minor positions.
Wages increases were declared to
have been as frequent as the roads'
resources permitted.
