of railroad efficiency which we, are
learning in this war are certain to be
carried over into peace times. .
Reduces Car Shortage. '
"The degree of efficiency now being
accomplished is proven in the one
item alone of the car shortage., which
was reduced betwt&ji ,May 1 .an Au
gust 1 from a shortage of 15Q.000 cars
to a shortage of only 33,00(J cars, and
this in spite of the tremendously ad
ditional tonnage handled and in
creased car movements for the ordi
nary 'commercial needs and all 'of the
car movement needed for military
purposes, troop movements, etc.

WILSON CAN END WAR
DECLARER HARDEN
Famous German Editor Says,
Peace Will Come When j
United States Gives
Word. !
New York, Aug. 22. President
Wilson can end the war when he
chooses to demand peace, according
to an interview with Maximilian Har
den, the famous German editor, which
JMAXrjttJXMN; HAHOCK
Karl von Wiegand, International
News Service staff correspondent held
with him before leaving Germany,
following the entry of the United
States into the great conflict. '
Von Wiegand discussed with Har
den the possibility or probability that
peace overtures, when made, would
be made by the pope. Harden replied
that the pope could not iorce obsti
nate governments to listen or compel
sinister , spirits in every country to
hesitate in their work- of human de
struction. Von Wiegand quotes Har
den as saying further:
"There has been but one man dur
ing the entire war who could do that;
there is but one man today who can
do that that man is Woodrow Wil
son, president of the United States.
When President Wilson raises his
hand and says, .''It has gone far
enough; I command peace 1' the
slaughter will cease. The war will
end.
"There is not a government which
could say not There is not one which
would dare sayvnol The war will end
when President Wilson gives the sig
nal for it to end, or go to utter ex
haustion or the point of revulsion is
reached by the peoples."

Light Breakfasts
Thoughtful people these days are urging econ
omy in eating,, and many are even advocating "no
breakfast."
The "no breakfast" plan may agree with some,
but most people feel better and work better on at
least a light breakfast.
A great many have found that a liberal dish of
Grpe-Nut, served with cream, milk or fruit juice,
furnishes ample morning nourishment, is easily di
gested and promotes buoyancy and clearness of mind.

port of the Mobil

Washington, Aug. 22. A
statistical report on the operations of
the draft law will be prepared by the
provost marshal general's office as
soon as the mobilization of the first
increment of 687,000 men of the na
tional army has been completed some
time early in October.
Pending the preparation of the re
port and careful analysis of ihe con
ditions it discloses, no steps toward
calling a second increment to the
colors wilt be taken. General Crow
der said today that the call for the
second increment never had been
considered at any conference at
which he was present, and that he
had no indication that it had been
taken up in any way by President
Wilson or Secretary Baker.

The first incr.-ment will fill all the

Training facilities already are taxed
to make ready for the men now avail
able and it is regarded as unlikely
that organization of an additional
500,000 men of the national army can
be begun until the early spring of
1918. Inequalities of an unavoidable
nature will be shown in the statist!
cal report. There probably will be
some amended regulations, based on
actual experience witn the first in
crement, and some amendments in the
law may be thought desirable by con
gress.
New Provisions.
It is possible that some provision
will be made whereby all the sons of
one family will not be taken. A new
definition of the status of married men
may be one of the things acted upon.
President Wilsons recent letter to
Senator Weeks is taken by man to
indicate a feeling that a more liberal
policy may be found desirable. At
present, under regulations, a condition
of marriage in itself , is not considered.
Another matter to be worked out
is the status of aliens.
Still another is the status of men
