RAILROADS MAY ASK AID OF GOVERNMENT Liberty Bond Issues Monopo lize Investment Funds of Na tion, Making Railway Bonds Impossible to Move. ' Washington, Oct. 12. Reports that the railroi-ds arc considering in formally asking the government to help them in some way to obtain money with which to maintain and enlarge their present plants and equipment to enable them to cope with the high tide of traffic are re garded by officials here as forecasting a concerted move soon toward that end. What form this move will assume apparently has not yet been decided by the roads themselves. It is re ported that they have under consid eration several courses. One possible method is renewed petition for a general increase in freight rates. Another is to request the govern ment to lend the railroads money on railroad securities. For this, how ever, special legislation would be necessary. Other plans, details of which have not been revealed, are said to be under consideration. Railroads at present are earning very nearly as much as last year, which marked the high tide, but within the last two months operating expenses have shown an increase said to be out of all proportion to the increase in gross leceipts. Railroad executives say that as the government has a practical monopoly through Liberty bond issues of the investment funds of the country, they have found it almost impossible to obtain funds.

Graphic details of how the famous German commerce raider, Seeadler, which preyed on allied commerce seven months in the South Pacific before meeting its fate on the reefs of Mope ha island, passed inspection of a Brit ish cruiser by assuming the disguise of a lumber carrier, were revealed to day by Captain Hador Smith, master of the American schooner R. C. Slade, one of the tjlree known victims of the German craft. After capture by the British and subsequent escape the Seeadler put into Bremerhavcn. a German port, and in December, 1916, fitted out as a mo tor schooner under command of Lieu tenant von Luckner and a crew of sixty-eight, half of whom, according to Captain Smith, spoke Norwegian. With forged Norwegian clearance pipers and two 4-inch guns concealed by a deckload of lumber, the vessel put to sea, encountered a British cruiser, passed inspection, mounted its guns and proceeded to sink thir teen vessels in the Atlantic, two of them Britishers, Captain Smith said. The final capture in the Atlantic, was a French bark, on which 300 of the Seeadler's prisoners were put and sent to Rio De Janeiro. The Seeadler escaped pursuers and rounded Cape Horn, immediately beginning a cam paign of destruction in the South Pa cific. Depredations of the Seeadler, a con verted American vessel, were an nounced by the Navy department, October 4. Flour Mills in Five States Ordered To Cut Production Minneapolis Minn., Oct. 12.-j-Min-neapolis flour mills today were or dered to cut down their production to 60 per cent of capacity until further notice, in order to relieve the scarcity of wheat at eastern mills. The order was issued by the milling division of the food administration, following a two-day executive session here. Iowa. Montana and North and South Da kota mills likewise are affected. The order probably will result in the closing of several small mills. Moses Will Arbitrate Troubles in Uniform Shops Baltimore, Oct. 11. The appoint ment of former Judge Jacob M. Moses, 'as impartial judge, in labor controversies in establishments which manufacturing uniforms for the United States government, was announced here today. Judge Moses was selected by the Board of Control of the War department and was notified through Secretary of War Bake j Washington, Oct. 12. Cardinal Gibbons wrote President Wilson, in a letter made public here today, that he is trying to "persuade all Americans that they can do the greatest good to themselves and their country by a cheerful and geneial performance of their duty, as it is pointed out to them bv lawfully constituted authority." The letter was written on the occa sion of the recent formation of the League for National Unity, of which Cardinal Gibbons is honorary chair man. President Wilson, in reply, thanked the cardinal for accepting the chair manship of the league. "In these days of the gravest prob lems which have ever weighed upon our American government," wrote the cardinal, "our thoughts go out to the chief executive, warmed by a heart felt sympathy for the heavy burdens of office which he must bear and freighted with the unwavering deter mination of loyal citizens to stand by him in his every effort to bring suc cess to our arms and to achieve those ideals of justice and humanity which compelled our entrance into the war. No Other Course Open. "Guided as we are by the sublime teachings of Christianity, we have no other course open to us but that of obedience and devotion to our coun try. Our divine Lord tells us 'render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's,' and St. Paul, following the steps of his Master, says 'Let every soul be subject to the higher powers, for there is no authority but from God, and those that are, are ordained by God. Therefore, he who resisteth the power resisteth the or dinance of God, and they who resist purchase to themselves condemna tion.' "We have been exerting our everj effort and will continue to do so to' persuade all Americans that they can do the greatest good to themselves and their country by a cheerful and generous performance of their duty as it is pointed out to them by law fully constituted authority." President Expresses Thanks. The president wrote to the cardinal m reply: "May Inot express my very deep and sincere appreciation of your let ter of October 6. It has brought me cheer and reassurance and I want you to know how much I appreciated your own action consenting to preside over the important and influential group of women who have so generously un dertaken to support the administration in its efforts to make the whole char acter and purpose of this war and of the government of the United States m the prosecution of it clear to the whole people." Gov. Cappej; Asks New Coal Prices Become Effective Topeka, Kan., Oct. 12. Declaring that "concerted action by retail deal ers in advancing prices to unreason able figures, apparently with a de termination to ignore federal action, is producing a lack of'confidence in authority which must inevitably prove injurious," Governor Capper today sent a letter to Harry Garfield, fed eral coal administrator, calling his at tention to the "extremely unsatisfac tory condition of the retail coal mar ket in the state of Kansas." "A careful inquiry has developed no justification for the prices now pre vailing," writes the governor. "Pro longed delay on the part of the federal government in giving our people the relief they had expected from a situa tion which has, become intolerable, has created widespread unrest This condition of mind finds expression in an overwhelming number of letters now coming to my desk in every mail." Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 12.-Ponfer-ences attended by representatives of the two major political parties re sulted early today in the formation of a union government under Pre mier Sir Robert Borden, ine cau tion, however, was threatened, when differences developed among the lib erals. Automobiles, ordered by Pre mier Borden, to take the memDers oi the ne government to the residence of the Duke of Devonshire, governor general, to be sworn in, were dis missed, and it was decided not to have the new ministers take the oath until later in the day. . The liberals have been brought into the government as a consequence ot Sir Wilfrid Lauder's attitude as to compulsory military service. Liberals to Improve Government. The rlprUinn of Sir Wilfrid Laiirier to remain at the head of the liberal party also had an effect upon the situation. Other liberals decided ap parently that they could not improve the situation by defeating the Bor den government, and the best course would be to go into (nongovernment and improve it from within. The Canadian general election will be held in January and it is now ex pected that the union, or national administration of Sir Robert Borden will be returned to power. A sub stantial opposition, however, is ex pected to be returned to Pariament. The new government follows: Liberals Sir Arthur Sifton, premier of Alberta; T. A. Creear, representing the wester i grain growers; J. A. Cal der, Saskatchewan: Colonel S. C. Mewburn, N. W. Rowell and Hugh Guthrie, from Ontario; F. B. Cavell. New Brunswick, and probably Pre mier George Murray of Nova Scotia. Conservatives Sir Robert Borden, Arthur Meighen, Sir Thomas White, Dr. John Reid, Sir Edward Kemp, J. D. Hazen, Sir James Loughed, Judge Boherty, P. K. Blondin, Mar tin Burrell and Albert Leoney. ' Eastern Roads to Ask Freight Rate Increase New York, Oct. 12. Coincident with the announcement yesterday that passenger trainmen on eastern rail roads would shortly present demands for increased wages, executives of east ern trunk lines arranged to meet in New York today and discuss plans for making another plea to the Interstate Commerce commission for higher freight rates. The new demands of the railway brotherhoods for more pay will be a factor in the roads' peti tion, itis said. The "eastern railroads hope, it is said, that the Western and southern roads will also renew pleas for higher rates. Ordinarily, applications for rate increases arc presented separate ly by the three districts, but in the last case all roads joined in the peti tion for an increase of 15 per cent in freight rates. The Interstate Com merce commission, in its finding last June, refused the increase asked, but granted increases of approximately 5 per cent of the gross revenue of the carriers. German Overtures To Kussian Troops Meet No Eesponse Petrograd, Oct. 12. Austro-Ger-man troops are renewing their at tempts to fraternize with the Rus sians, but so far every effort has met with failure, according to a statement issued by the Russian war office based on reports from the front. The gen eral situation is quiet, although ome of the armies as well as some of the Cossack units still act with some sus picion towards the commanding staff. The question of peace is said to agi tate the great mass of the Russian soldiers. At some places there is agitation against capital punishment, but at the same time demands are made that punishment in the rear of the fighting front be enforced with greater strict ness. The cases where orders were discussed or not carried out are com paratively rare, the soldiers who re fuse to obey usually being brought to trial. The war office announces with re gret that the evil influence of the gendarmes and police still asserts it self. So far no measures have been taken to isolate these elements. Com plaints of lack of discipline among new troops still are being reported. liberals and Socialists In Ascendency in Sweden Washington, Oct. 11.
