ROME—Eduardo Torre. high
commissioner of Italian railroads,
probably has the most difficult
task of‘any of the lieutenants of
Premier Mussolini. He is endeav

deficit, maladministration, scan-

ficient and going concern.
To help him Signor Torre has
the backing of 50,000 Fascist:' rail

ty as compared to the total of
240,000 railroad employees, still
they exert a strong influence
which is entirely for -reform and

Torre is a deputy. He fought in
the war as a captain, and won four
medals for bravery. Ho is also n
doctor, and has 'had experience in
organized sanitation. He is con
fident of success in his new werk
He declares that the former meth
od of permitting the railroads to
be managed by the employees
shall cease'and give place to bus
iness efficiency. Torre is not talk
ing much about his job from a dis
tance; he is already |in the midst
of it. The first thing he did was
to abolish the “Little Parliament"
or "Parliamentind” of railroad
union delegates who in the past
exercised a veto in the railroad’s
management. This consisted of
700 men, each possessed of an an
nual pass over all lines, and with
! freedom to absent themselves from
! their duties wherever they felt in-
j clincd.
With the abolition of the “Par-
I liamentino,” n telling blow has
been dealt to the “red” unions who
have, up until now, ruled the labor
affairs of the Italian lines with an
iron hand. These ‘red” unions or
dered general strikes, suspension
of trains, and boycotts without
number. While Torre will not abol
ish the “red” unions as such, he
will insist that no employee of the
.railroads carry on a campaign
against the state.
Torre is also putting a rigid end
to the pass evil, which had reach-'
cd unbelievable proportions. Twen
ty-one thousand passes were out,
and last year 2,000,000 free tickets
were issued to railroad men and
merttbers of their families. The
system cost the railroad adminis
tration, between 30,000,000 and
40,000,000 lire a year.
Between 30,000 and 40,000 rail
road men daily reported them
selves sick and collected sick bene
fits from the state. This is where
Torres medical experience stands
him in good stead, and the prac
tice is being handled drastically.
Torre discovered, among other
things, that some railroad men
worked not more than 50 hours n
year, and in addition to .checking
this custom, ho Is getting rid of n
large number of superfluous em
ployees.
The pilfering and robbery on
Italian railways has been on such
an immense scale that it has cost
the State 120,000,000 lire in indem
nities to those injured, in addition
to 30,000,000 lost through thefts
of coal. Torre ie determined to
stop this state of affairs and to
this end proposes to organize a
railroad police force of Fascist!
who will repress thievery with
rifle bullets, if needs be.

MR. DOLLAR AND
HIS FRIENDS
From the position of a passing acquaintance to that of one of
Mr. Dollar’s well known friends ought to be'one of our cherished
ambitions. * *
We are glad to make the acquaintance df Mr. Dollar, but after
the meeting we should endeavor to have, this acquaintance ripen
into lasting friendship.
Mr. Dollar extends the hand of friendship to us. Sometimes,
however, we show him such scant courtesy that he cannot be
very severely criticised for seeing but little of us. This friend
ship must be mutual. ‘ -
Mr. Dollar would like to work for you but does not like tem
porary employment. He works best in a steady job.
His real friends are those who use him rightly. They employ
him to run stores, factories, railroads, mines—in fact all success
ful commercial enterprises are the result of his handiwork.
This bank has become acquainted with many of his friends.
Can we help to properly introduce you to him?

Carnarvon, it seems, agreed that
any tomb which contained a royal
mummy and which had not previ
ously been entered by robbers
should remain the property of the
Egyptian government
Then Carnarvon and Howard
Carter, an American who has spent
33 years In Egyptian research, un
earthed the vast treasure, buried
more than 3000 years In the midst
of poverty and squalor.
EGYPT
CLAIM8 IT
Tills treasure, burled In the
tomb of Tutankhamen, comes un
der that classification and the
Egyptian government already has
laid claim to it.
But pressure may be brought to
bear by the British government to
cause Egyptian officials to modi
fy their stand. In that case, some
of. Tutankhamen’s treasures muy
find their way Into American mu
seums.
Amerlcn’s claim Is based on the
contention that tho treasures of
ancient Egypt belong to the world
and that America, as one of the
leading nations 6T the present
world. Is entitled to share in them.
WHAT TREASURES
ARE
Some of the treasures over
which the dispute Is waged are:
Three gilt lite-sixe images of
human beings.
Glided heads of animals wlti
eyes of jewels.
Carved couches inlaid with ivory
and seml-precibus stones.
Chests of ebony and Ivory with
gilt inscriptions, containing Tut
ankhamen's finery.
Tutankhnmen's state throne, en
crusted with Jewels..
heavy chair thickly set with
turquoise, cornelian lapis and oth
er stones.
Two life-sized statnes of tho
king with gold work.
Four chariots encrusted with
semi-precious stones.
Exquisite boxes and alabaster 1
vasos. • j
Richly .embroidered clothing of
the king and queen.
The find could be sold for moro
than n dozen millions on tho basis
of Its actual value alone h it its
scientific and archeological worth
makes It absolutely priceless.
OLD KING TUT’
MY8TERY MAN
King Tutankbaipen was
Egyptian king of the eighteenth
dynasty. He reigned about 1350 B.
C„ or 3270 yeareago.
His origin ta'doubtful. He gain'
ed the Throne by marrying Prin
cess Ankb-Nes-Pa-Aten, most
beauOful woman In Egypt and
daughter of King Armcn-Hotop
IV.

life la hla; He destroyed the beau
tiful city of El Amarna and order
ed hla subjects to leave it and
settle In Thebea.
El Amarna had been constrct-
ed as a perfect city of contentment
by Akhnaton an earlier king, Akb
naton harried priests and founded
a new religion df hla own.
Tutankhamen restored the old
faith.
BREST-LITOVSK, Poland —
March second will be the fifth an
niversary of the treaty of Brest
Litovsk. Joffe and Radek and their
Bolshevik associates penned their
signature unwillingly to the hate
ful paper after General Hoffman
had' pounded the treaty table and
announced the Germans would adr
vance immediately upon Petrograd
and Moscow if the Bolshcviki de
layed longer.
That treaty was superseded by
the treaty of Rapollo, which Ger
many and Russia signed so unex
pectedly during the Genoa Confer-'
cnce last spring. But the business
relations which Germany hoped
would result in an exchange of
considerable amounts of German
manufactured goods for Hussion

trade-commissions any more suc

which have not established treaty

It takes money or raw materials
to carry on business. Bolshevist
Russia lacks both. Its meagre
shipment of grain from a country
which is starving, and its slight
exportations of wood, flax and
other raw materials have been a
grave disappothtment to all Eu

that a blockade is maintained
against it by its enemies is pretty

Germany has found the Bolshe
vists costly and unsatisfactory as
sociates. The Brest-Litovsk treaty
put Russia definitely out of the
irreat war, and was a hard blow
temporarily for the Entente. But
it also gave impetus to the unrest
in the German army and navy, and
was an important factor in the
breaking up of tl^ empire of Wil
liam II. 1 . ■
The signing of the Rapollo
treaty was snothei* doubtful exper
iment. It won almost universal
from the rest of the world, and
probably delayed for a long period
the recognition of Russia by sol
vent nations which might lend her
the financial assistance *so neces
sary for her reconstruction.
Since signing the Brest-Litovsk
treaty the Bolshevists have enter
ed into at least 50 other interna
tional pacts. It was the forerunner
of the largest crop of-internation
al conferences any other Euro
pean power ever had in ten times
as many years. The Bolshevists
have expelled their enemies from
most of the Czar’s old regime.
They have made peace with Po
land and their Baltic neighbors.
They have sjgned treaties with
Persia and Turkey, and have fed
erated various so-called govenv
ments in Europe and Asia which
geographers have never been able
to define. , •
But not a single first-class pow
er has granted them recognition
unless Germany be ranked as
such. Their diplomatic exploits
have not yet yielded results wh*re
Lenine and Trotzky most -desired
them. The promises of peace and
prosperity which Lenine and
Trotzky made to quiet the clamor
caused in Russia by the Brest-
Litovsk treaty have not been real
ized. Land, bread and peace were
their three favorite worts five
years ago. The peasants have the
iand, but many of 'them aw stray
ing on it.

LONDON—The British cartoonist
with most punch In Ms cartoons that
make people think and the maximum
of deftness In his drawings «»»*
make them laugh is a New Zealander.
David Low. who never had a lesson
os sn artist In his life.
Low was bora at Christchurch. He
says he can’t remember when he
wasn’t making black marks on
whlti paper. In the effort to repro
duce the things he saw about him.
One wonderful day when he was
It years old he sent a-cartoon to a
Christchurch newspaper, pleased the
editor with It and not only received
GO cents In payment but got a regu
lar contract to furnish two cartoons
weekly at the same rats of emolu
ment. -* .,
Two yearn later the young
draughtsman transferred his services
to a rival publication, at $11 weekly
and at 16 he was on a third paper’s
staff, drawing $25.
At IS he got out an Illustrated so-1
nual on his own account. It was an '
artistic success but a financial fail

last one. and besides Low lost sll

Low remained with the Bulletin from
1910 to 1919. During the latter part
of this period. Prime Minister Hughes

after the war was over. The Bulle

It happened thatJhe Star, the big
