various financial depressions had been
predicted and whether it was not well
known in financial circles that periods of
business depression and prosperity came
"with startling regularity" and were
known In advance. - '
"1 never heard of such a thing," said
Mr. Wade. '
Asserting he had much experience with
the credits of southwest roads, Mr. Wade
said that the road's ability to , obtain
money on bonds 'in recent years was
steadily decreasing; that "while the coun
try was flooded wtlh money" the public
had grown reluctant to buy securities and'
that only roads in exceptionally good
standing could obtain funds at normal
rates '
Statement of Bask.
Benjamin F. Bush, president of the Mis
souri Pacific road, said his' lines would
be unable to keep pace with the public
demands for increased efficiency unless
higher freight rates were permitted.
"We believe.", he-saJd, "the bad eco
nomic conditions which have prevailed
for the last sixteen' months with the at
tendant depression of general business
have been duetnore to the failure of the
railroads to earn adequate revenues than
to any other cause.' The situation! may
have been made more acute by the uro
pean war, but business depression was
upon us with full force prior to that.
1 "When the railroads are prosperous
they consume from 40 to 50 per cent of
the baslo Industrial factors and thus
initiate a movement In business which
quickly pervades inckurtries and trades.
When the revenues are Inadequate they
are obliged in self-preservation to re
trench. Mast Cartall Forces.
"Nine industries in'Bt. Lcnls oependent
on railroads have been obliged to curtail
their forces some 10,000 men and their
payrolls on that account are Ij88,000 lees
a month than in times of normal busi
ness. Toe loss in wages of employes ot
those nine Ht. Louis Industries would ag
gregrte $7,000,000 a year. The time has
come when It is most vital not only to
the carriers' Interest, but to the in
dustrial and commercial welfare of the
country that the desired advances should
be allowed."

the Associated Press, spnds the following:

FRANCE. March 6. (Via London) The
plctui enqueues of the Indian troops of
the British emj Ire brcuks the monotony
of the grim, colorless business ot modern
wnr t ihe I5tilh front The little mule
cbi s of these s.ildlcrs move about among
the powerful motor trucks from England.
It was rirst feared that, the Indiana
miifht not stand shell fire well, but they
be-ame used to It and now they are even
contemptuous of it. Accustomed to a hot
and dry climate the chill 'and rainy
weather and the miry mud of Northern
Franco has been their worst enemy.
When the sun shines a sprrile spreads
over the whole Indian force. Thanks to
many layers of warm clothes and careful
attention, the sick report of the Indian
troops Is normal.
All the food of these men has to be
brought from India. -Speaking no word
of English,, these dusky strangers have
come from the other wide of the world
to fight In France for dret Britain.
Billeted in bnrns with thick layers of
straw for their beds, each race cooking
its food to Its taste and according to its
(caste customs theyvtform separate
world of never ceaelng wonder to the
French inhabitants. This morning there
Was seen 3.000 cavalry riding by, on a
muddy road with a background of flat
and misty landscape with all the preci
sion" they would show at a royal review.
Occasionally among the dusky faces
under the turbansthero were the white
countenances of the Knpllsh officers, who
had trained these 'varied tribes and who
have stood with them in the trenches In
icy water up to their waists against the
enemy.
Fla-hta at Seventy-Two.
Sir Pertab Singh, 73 years old, rode
at the head of his regiment.
"They told me I wa too old," he said,
"but I replied, 'If you will not let mo
fight in France I will go' to Afghanis
tan and fight there. I don't mean to die
In my bed and I cannot live much longer.
So they let me come."
Although . all the cavalry is fighting as
Infantry in- the- trenches, cavalry officers
keep up their cavalry drills and the
horses are In condition. Thla Is because
there may be a chance for the cavalry
when the expected German break comes.
Everybody on the line speak of the
Germans going back as if this was as
certain as the coming of spring.
One of the British officers with whom
the newspaper correspondents watched
the Indian troops ride past, made the re
mark: "The Canadians in their trenches
are now doing well."
The driver of the motor ear In which
the correspondents were conveyed to the
front revealed his Americanism by the
use of New York slang. We had had
sixteen taxlcabs running In New York,
hut be came over, as the English say,
"to do Ms bit."

One meets her Englishmen, Irishmen
and Scotchmen from every part of the

In the outskirts of a village where Ger-'
man shells fall at Intervals there were
seen Infantry detachments practicing at
hand grenade attacks and In the defense
of trenches. Nobody worried about the
danger from German shells while they
rent the air with their own explosion of
bomos thrown at close quarters.
Hospital for Convalescents.
At another place the correspondent
entered a building which seemed neither
wholly hospital nor wholly Young Men's
Christian association. The reason that
the location of this and many other
places Is not given Is because no German
aeroplane bombs are wanted. In this
particular building men .overexhuusted
from their vigil in the trenchea remove
their filthy clothes, get warm baths and
disinfecting spray and have a warm
meal, Including bread pudding with rais
ins or currants in It, 'of which they am
extremely fond. There are also clean
cots where thev turn In and a reading
room with games. Here no one is kept
longer than fourteen days. If in that time
they have not sufficiently recovered from
the exhausting demands' of the trenches
to return to the front they are sent back
to the base..
'Doesn't some malingerer,'' I asked.
"ever hesitate to face the horror ot the
trenches again?"
"Occasionally there Is one," was the
answer. ' That a human nature. We are
amased at how few. When well enough
the average man goes, lie says he will
play the game. Tou will know soon what
he is going to do."
Before leaving the convalescent home
tbe correspondents were given each an

remark. "You are going into the trenches
