Ninety per cent of the railroad
rolling stock in Perm, Ekaterinburg
and Cheuabenisk districts was pull
ed out before the territory was. given
.over to the Bolsheviki, according to
General Jack of the Inter-Allied
Technical committee, who assisted
in the evacuation Over 30,000
freight cars and approximately 600
locomotives were saved,
- f The railroad over the Kama at
Perm. 970 yards long, was put of
rommission by the Siberian military
efore leaving. It is not so seri
. ously damaged, however, that it can
not be easily repaired. One com
plete span was dumped into the
river.
Fleet Is Burned.
The Kama fleet, 39 vessels, several
of which had been converted into
gunboats, but later dismantled, was
accidently burned.
General Jack left Perm four
hours before the Bolshevik shells
began to fall in the town. , With
him, came Otto T. Glaman, Ameri

in keeping trains moving.
All In Box Car.
The peasant population as well as
the bourgeosie fled before the Bol
shevik advance. Families loaded
their possessions onto carts or box
cars and took the road east Every
country road leading out was filled
with these carts moving in caravans,
leading cows and horses, often car
rying pigs and fowls. It was not
unusual to find a family of four or
five crowded into a boxcar with all
their domestic animals and house
hold goods, bound eastwar1 with no
fixed destination.
'Practically no stocks of merchan
dise were moved. The railway
machine shops were left intact as
were factories of all sorts, no effort
having been made to destroy them
as would probably have been the
case if evacuating to a foreign foe.
Father and Son Bitten '
Last Nfght by Mad Dog
Daniel Hirsch, 2506 Franklin, and
his 6-year-old son, Herman, were
both seriously bitten by a mad dog
last night. Hirsch captured the
canine and corralled him in the' base

The dog is still alive and will be
taken care of by humane officers this
morning.
When the animal attacked Herman
Hirsch he inflicted a severe wound in
the lad's thigh. Daniel Hirsch went
to the lad's assistance and was bit
ten about the hands.

Democratic Women
Formulating PlansN
For Next Election
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 27.
With the estimate of 14,000,000 wom
en coming into the ballot before the
next presidential election, the exec
utive committee of the democratic
national committee, which has been
in conference here two days, devoted
most of its discussion to the best
methods of reaching the women vot
ers. The committee adjourned and
most of its members left for their
homes.
The plan proposed by A. F. Mul
len of Nebraska, that a declaration
be made in favor of abolishing the
two-thirds rule to nominate candi
dates in presidential conventions and
substitute the majority rule, was not
voted upon. Notice was served on
the national committee, however,
that the plan would be submitted
to it.
Mrs. George Bass, head of the
women's bureau, discussed plans for
the political education of the pros
pective womenf voters. She said
that funds could be raised by a pre
cinct tax where there are organiza
tions of women. She suggested that
10 cents per capita would yield a
fund of $500,000.
In discussing her political views
Miss Bass declared that women "fa-
vored a man with ideals and the
courage to urge them," and point
ed to President Wilson as an ex
ample. 300 Influenza Cases So Far
Reported Within 14 States
Washington, Sept. 27. More than
300 cases of influenza were report
ed to the public health service this
week by 14 states, but the disease
has not reached the proportions of
an epidemic in any state. The serv
ice announced today that the cases
reported generally were of a mild
type.
States reporting and the numbers
in each follow:
Alabama, 20; Arkansas, 14; Cali
fornia, 51; Florida, 22; Georgia, 23;
Kansas, 31; Kentucky, 13; Louisi
ana, 5; Maine, 5; Massachusetts, 62;
Montana, 4; New Jersey, 20; New
York, 31; Washington, 8.
"The fact that the cases are of a
mild type would seem to be a hope
ful sign," said Surgeon General Ru
pert Blue. "However, it is too early
to make a forecast with an' degree
of certainty.
"The wisest thing to do is for
every person to avoid contact with
those affected, to keep out of crowds
and crowded places, tov be on the
lookout for the first symptoms and
when these appear to go directly to
bed .and summon a physician."

Slow Going British Losing
Their Supremacy in Air
Plants That Turned Out Mighty Monsters of War
Now Making Furniture, Automobiles, Canoes
Rowboats Army Heads Balk at Disclosing Their
Plans.
BY EARL C. REEVES.
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
London, Sept. 27. The makers of
the mighty masters of the air with
which England swept the western
front almost clear of enemy flyers
have turned their great plants to
peace-time needs. The factories
which turned out bombers and bat
tle planes and which were expected
to make England mistress of the air
in a commercial way are now making
furniture, automobiles, canoes and
rowboats. There are barely half a
dozen plants in England which are
making commercial airplanes.
Traditional Conservatism,
Traditional British conservation is
depriving Britain of the chance of a
century to be absolutely unchal
lenged in the newest virgin field of
commercial endeavor, the perfection
and making practical of commercial
transportation through the air.
While flying in England is con
fined to the. chartering of planes for
business trips or advertising ven
tures and to the $10 20-minute "dips"
of the seaside resorts, Germany has
established a regular passenger serv
ice and an air mail route opening be
tween New York and Chicago forms
the backbone of a projected system
of routes that will sweep the United
States.
No Money in Planes.
"For the time being there is abso
lutely nothing in commercial avia
tion from a business point of view,"
no less notable builder than Gra-hame-White
declares.
"The public does not seem to real
ize the enormous cost of the up
keep of airplanes. They seem fright
ened at the high charges which we
are bound to make. The only rem
edy for the present stagnation is
for the government to subsidize rec
ognized firms and help them to sur
vive what is probably the worst pe
riod the industry has known. Fi
nancial men are getting a little
frightened at supporting aircraft
firms, and, of course, large capital
is necessary.
Ministry Secretive.
The process of turning govern
ment planes to civilian uses, by sale
or otherwise, is moving slowly, ac
cording to information obtained
from the air ministry. The status
of the entire ministry is somewhat
uncertain, because the finding of ob
vious and unavoidable instances of
extravagance in its administration
has given added impetus to the gov
ernment policy of retrenchment.
So while the civilian flying divi
sion of the ministry is uncertain re
garding the extent of its staff and
plant equipment it is hedged by
many military reservations. Many
of the planes, admirably suited for
adaptation to commercial uses, have
engines or other equipment which,
for military reasons, the government
has decided should not be released
for general use, examination and
possible copying by foreign powers.
No More Subsidies.
The government, being gravely
concerned with eliminating all forms
of subsidy and stopping all leaks,
has not considered the subsidy ques
tion, but they have announced a se
ries of prizes, totalling $300,000, to
encourage development of commer
cial types of machines. To encour
age international air transport the
Daily Express has offered a prize of
$50,000.
On all sides it 13 admitted that the
taxation outlook, the continued la
bor troubles and uncertainty regard
ing government trade and industrial
policies has tightened the purses of
the money kings. The bankers are
the determining factor in most ven
tures, and just now England's bank
ers are suffering from a more than
usually violent attack of conserva
tism. They are putting a powerful
brake upon commercial air progress
as well as upon other plans for com
mercial and international trade expansion.
School for Chorus Girls
By ZAYDA GLOVER.
New York, Sept. 27. A school for
chorus girls! Broadway witnessed
the opening of this unique institu
tion last week at the George M.
Cohan theater. It was a double
event. Henrv W. Savage presented
his newest musical prduction, bee
Saw." and at the same time embark
ed his student, chorus on their sea
sonor sea, to keep the metaphor
of study.
lhe iirst scholars at Mr. isavage s
novel school are the young ladies of
the "Sea Saw" ensemble. From the
billing which labelled them a beauty
chorus, and the comments of first-
nighters who applauded their danc
ing and singing as well as their
youth and good looks, no one sus
pected nor expected more than
girlish charm and coquetrry from
the "See Saw" chorus. They were
an attractive part of a tempting
whole that is of an up-to-the-minute
musical play.
Nattlrally, the chorus is but a
small part of the general whole. But
Colonel Savage's revelations as to
his new "school for young ladies"
brings the ensembled forcefully to
the front. Let John McKee, gen
eral stage director for Mr. Savage,
outline his chief's plans and curri
culum for the most novel school
known to Broadway.
"The students chorus," explained
Mr. MeKee, "has been a dream of
Mr. Savage's for years. During his
entire career as a producer he has
practised individually the plan we
are now working out collectively
with the ensemble of 'See Saw.' You
see, in the chorus Mr. Savage has
discovered and developed most of
the talent he has later displayed in
star parts. For instance. Edna
Goodrich. Irm Fenwick, Flora Za-

Mueller Ford Locks
McCaffrey motor co.
15th and Jackion Sts.
belle were trained in the same
chorus. ' Patricia Collinge, Juliette
Day, Wilda Bennett had their be
ginnings in small parts in Mr. Sav
ages 'Everywoman.' Raymond
Hitchcock is a Savage discovery; so
was the unforgettable Gertrude
Bryan of 'Little Boy Blue.
"Of course all these players had
talent. What they needed, and what
Colonel Savage provided, was the
opportunity to display that talent.
But more important still and here
is the quintessence of the Savage
idea of stage success they needed
preparation for opportunity. This
is what the student chorus of 'See
Saw' aims to do to prepare young
players so that when opportunity
knocks they can not only open the
door but walk in. 1 ,
"Twelve young ladies were select
ed this summer by Mr. Savage for
the ensemble of 'See Saw,' and to
each he unfolded his plans for the
season's 'grind.' It was an unwrit
ten law of each contract that this
grind should be attended as regu
larly as theater performences. Seven
of , the girls were just out of col
lege or finishing school, and they
readily entered into the spirit of
the new course of study. The other
five ambitious girls who had chorus
experience but wanted to tit them
selves for speaking roles were, even
more eager to begin.
"First, Colonel Savage appointed
each young lady an understudy to
one of the four principal roles m
'See Saw' leading woman, sou
brette, 'heavy' and grand dame. To
me fell the duty of conducting un
derstudy rehearsals twice a week,
and giving the girls the fundamen
tals of stage technique. Frequently
Mr. Savage himself will conduct
these rehearsals, and at the end of
the season he will call a series of
understudy performances in which
each girl will be given a chance to
play the role she has mastered. If
her work is good she will be given
a sort of 'diploma' in the form of a
contract to play this role in a road
company next season.
"But more basic than this in our
student chorus, campaign s the,

By SIR LEO CHIOZZA MONEY,
One of the Moat Wldelr Read Economist!
In Grent Britain and Member of
The Fatmon Sankey
Commision.
.London, Sept. 26. So rapid are
modern trade developments that we
find some difficulty in realizing that
dS? recently as 1885 the United King
dom produced as much iron as the
United States and Germany put to
gether, and that, after the war broke
out, the relative position had
changed so greatly that Britain. had
fallen to the position of a bad third
in the world of iron, with America
Leasily first.
America was increasing its lead
as a producer very rapidly when the
war began, and the circumstances of
the European struggle were such
that Europe njade enormous sacri
fices, while America made enormous
gains.
This is not said by way of re
proach to our great ally, for we
know quite well that if the war had
unhappily continued for another
year the United States would have
suffered heavy losses. Nevertheless
the actual facts of the case are per
fectly plain. -
American Gains.
During two and a half years of
neutrality America provided the al
lies with food, materials and muni
tions at a very great profit, and can
celled its old time indebtedness to
British investors.
At the closing stages of the war
America then took up the burdens
of financing the allies, but not un
til Britain had advanced something
like ,$8,750,000,000 to our friends in
Europe. In addition to selling out
our dollar securities to finance Eu
rope we have become largely in
debted to f America.
As with trade, so with shipping.
Britain lost 7,600,000 tons by enemy
action, while the United States lost
only 341,000 tons. At the begin
nings of the war the United States
ocean msreantile marine was a
negligible quantity; today it is a
good second to our depleted ton
nage. Before the war it was German
competition which was the chief
concern of our exporters. Today
the talk is all of American compe
tition. We hear of contracts being
lost to America at home and abroad.
Pictures are drawn of America
becoming the workshop of the en
tire world. That the American
trading position has been profound
ly altered by the war is undoubtedly
true. We need not be surprised if
the. facts fill many observers with
alarm.
Certainly it is not within the
power of the United Kingdom to
win back the industrial" supremacy
which had departed before the Eu
ropean conflagration began. The
natural resources of America are in
comparably greater than our own.
We have to earn' by exportation a
large variety of essential materials
of which America is the chief pro
ducer in the world. These are facts'
which it is not within the power of
men to change, and it is idle to de
plore them.
Existing American csmmerce ts
of course abnormal, and we should
not allow ourselves to. be unduly
impressed by it. America is feed
ing and supplying Europe without
possibility of immediate material
payment. The facts are quite ex
traordinary. The latest detailed analysis I have
from America for a month gives us
the following curious statistics:
Exports Imports Excess

U. S. A. IT. S. S. Europa
Country MUlion Million Million

Norway 18-3 0.5 lo.8
Sweden 18.0 0.3' 17.7
All Europe Including .
abovs countries ....387.3 41.9 845.4
We see that in a single month
America sent $387,300,000 worth of
goods to Europe and imported from
Europe $41,900,000 worth, so that
there was in excess of exports to
Europe in a single month of $345,
40,000. We need not wonder then
at the condition of exchanges.
The excess of exports to the
United Kingdom alone is the month,
it will be seen, was $113,40,000.
But, after all, there are only three
great white nations in the world
which possess enormous coal sup
plies America, Germany and Britain,
in the order named. If any of these
three cannot make a "good living in
the world of the 20th century it
must be very much its own fault.
The 20th century probably will
witness, before it is half spent, an
unprecedented advance in the stand
ard of living. The production and
exchange of commodities is likely
to become so great as to completely
dwarf the trade figures which we
knew before the war.
daily lesson with the physical' in
structor, who teaches how to em
ploy the body in expressing a
thought. Awkwardness of body,
not-mental stupidity, betrays the
stage amateur. Indeed, it betrays
self-consciousness in many expe
rienced actors who have missed the
priceless training of the physical in
structor. "A teacher of diction is also en
gaged for a daily hour with the 'See
Saw' girls. To her falls the difficult
task of voice placement.
"The weekly informal ' lectures
that Colonel Savage has in mind to
deliver during the winter, while 'See
Saw is in New York, will probably
interest many young players outside
our own fold. It seems almost sel
fish to confine to a dozen girls the
broad knowledge of stage art that
Mr. Savage is so eager to impart.
"With his heart and soul in this
new venture," concludes Mr. McKee,
"Colonel Savage is convinced that
he has found a practical way to pre
pare ambitious young ladies mark
