rinds Only Ono Coni'lusltm
Only one rational conclusion can bo
drawn from tho statistics of railway
earnings and expenses for tho first
threo months of 1919. tho Railway
Agd declares in an editorial in Its cur
rent Issue. This is, that tho railroads
aro today a bankrupt Industry and
"that iTb increase of traffic, or in
creaso in efficiency of operation, or in
crcaso in both, which thore is tho
slightest possibility will occur, woulu
leavo tho railways anything but n
bankrupt industry, if existing wages
and existing freight and paasongcr
rates woro both retained." Tho Ago
continues:
"Tho deficit Incun cd by tho railroad
administration continues to grow
fastor oven than tho most pessimistic
havo foanJu. "It" was $58,000,000 in
March. This mado tho total deficit
fpr tho first threo months of tho year
approximately $130,000,000, or almost
ono and a half million dollars a day."

on
The following is an extract of a lot
tor received by Mr. and Mrs. O. D.
Shanor, of Maxwell, from a irlond of
tho family, a young man who is stilt
In tho service.
"I got back from my seven day leave
at 11:30 today; five letters awalted.me,
including tho ono from Mrs. Shaner.
I noticed somo of tho 42nd woro com
ing in and others I learned haa already
gone aboard so after dinner I'madel
hasto to stop somo Rainbows and in
quire. They ' all told m5 tho lC5th
had gone nboard; oven an infantry
captain affirmed It. Nevertheless I
wont to Lt. Loudon for further help
and in flvo mlnutos, by tho aid ofj, the
telephone I had plain directions of
company's plat and that thoy would
go on board at 7 o'clock In tho morn
ing. How wonderful it wns nil work
ing out! How glad I was to absolute
ly have tho information In my hands to
find out about my bluo star friend The
rain was pouring, but I wont almdst
straight to the very orderly's tont
door and told the captain I had a pal
by tho name of Elmer Shaner in his
company. His first words wore "come
In." Yes he was killed instantly at
Chateau Thierry July 29, 1918, while
ho, with a party, wero carrying am
munition forward. A shell exploded
and six were killed. It was near the
town of Villers Sur Fcro and ho Is
burled with many others of Company L
on a little hill flvo hundred yards from
a church which was also hit during
tho battle. Ho came Into tho 42nd
Division April 2, 1918, in tho first re
placement. Ho went through three
days' battlo at Champalgno, July 14.
15 and 16. Ho was a stretcher bear
er; ono of those fearless ones that go
through tho battle firo to the fore
most front and carry back wounded
comrades. Whllo tho officer talked,
tho company clerk and boys who knew
him gathered around and paid to him
tho highest trlbuto a Boldior can get
"ho was a good soldier." How much
lt all meant to mo! How they gathered
around mo and nsked, "you know him?
You lived in tho same town?" That
Is all. The soldier from the front says
littlo. You know feel and see tho rest.
His captain's nnmo is Merle Smith
now Major Smith. Of tho 250 original
Company L men, only G5 got back. El
mer was with tho regiment whllo they
won threo of tho nlno combat rings.
Tho regiment lost ono officer, five
sergeants, eight corporals. Tho 42nd
Division held the first A. E. F. B.qqtor
in France. They gained fifty-five
kilos, hiked 911 and by train made 763.
The present captain was glad of the
opportunity of getting word to Elmer's
folks and frankly attested., to Elmer's
loynl service. Tho company clerk.
Thos. McGuiro, 393 Press St., Brook
lyn, N. Y., said ho had written to El
mer's folks and would bo" glad to glvi
any further Information. I feel that
my efforts havo been weak in gather
ing a few last threads of a comrade s
life. I wish I might talk with you a
littlo Just now of what I know musi
havo boen his lot while serving. But
tho greatest is ho did all and gave all
I almost felt guilty of reaping tho re
ward of another on that furlough. His
death was noble, but that dopn't
brighten tho hearthstone except when
wo think of all lt stands for. And
from what tho boys Bald I could see
that Elmer was n christian man to tho
last ditch."

Hincs Explains Deficit.
Director General Hlnos in a discus
cusslon of recent railroad earnings dis
closed Unit:
"Tho government's deficit in operat
ing the railroads for the first threo
months of this yenr or tho difference
between net earnings and one-fourth
of the guaranteed annual compensa
tion was about $192,000,000 for all
roads under federal management.
The entire government loss incurred
in fifteen months of federal opera
tion was $418,000,000.
Marked reduction of freight traffic
under records of similar periods of
tho last two years wero responsible
for the bad financial showing and con
ditions In April though not yet report
ed fully show no promise of improv
ment. Despite tho big government deficits,
the director general docs not contem
plate any general Increase In the level
of rates but prefers to wait restora
tion of normal business conditions.
The government also Incurred a de
ficit of about $14,540,000 in eight
months operation of the American
railway express company, tho Consoli
dated Express corporation, up to
March X, 1919."
