was. The General Btaff again has a

But, strangely enough, with lits
new lease of power, there is in the
Empire a tremendousg increase in the
hate of the people for its military
rulers. So bitter is this feeling there
are vast assoclations of young men,
from 18 to 23, who have sworn never

immense significance of this.
Ludendorff's Final Throw,
Ladendorff knows his strength and
his weakness. He knowg it is the
fimal tria), and in this last gerat
throw he must play to win or lose all.
He has told the Bundesrat (the up

of four of vanquishing Germany’s
enemies before America is ready.
That s good enough for the junkers,
whose personal sacrifice' on the bat
tlefleld is notorloull{ small.
My Informant believes the place
already has been chosen where the
Germans wlill strike the next blow.
It will come with a start to most
people that it is Verdun. One would
have thought the very name of Ver
dun was cursed by the Germans; its
valley roads paved with thousands
of thelr oorfua. But the Germans
are nothing if not methodical.
When they chose Verdun before
they did so because they knew that,
once through there, they ecould roll
up the whole French and British line.
’l'glo same strategy guldeg them to
day. And with this dltference—-no
German belleves they were defeated
by the French. Mud, they say, was
the only thing that stopped them
from nttlnx through. Having
learned that lesson, they will not
strike again unti] the days of mud
are over for the year and they are
sure of hard roads for the immense
masses of artlllery being piled up for
the great drive.

Expressed in a sentence, then, Gov

save the Allles and win the war.
And nothing less than Government

Members of Congress beginning
to see that such a Wndlcm of Gov

any words and stronger than any
argument Yor the peymanency of Gov

Roads Admitted Defeat.
There Is no use in saying the rail
rbads under private ownership {f
given time would establish such co
operation that privately owned and
competing systems would do the same
work ' that the Government owners
have done.
Railronds themselves are the wit
nesses that establish their own in
capacity during this war. The rail
roads practically threw up their hands
to the Government and confessed that
they were at the end of their rope
and that they could go no farther
under private control. They practl
cally solicited the Government to take
them over because they honestly re
allzed that they could not handle the
Government's great business in this
rushing period of war,
And now within a few weeks of
Government operation it Is seen here
the central authority and oonsolida
tion and the removal of jealous and
costly competition have brought the
tangled mass of American railroads
into a sane and efficlent system of
transportation.
Director General McAdoo declares
without hesitation that the delay ip
passing the administration’s railway
bill without limitation as to length of
control is thwarting and handicap
ping h(lln in a thousand ways to the
great detriment of the country and
to cur immense disadvantage in win
ning the war.
The dirsctor General declares also
this delay and this imitation of con
trol is serlously embarrassing the
credit of the country. It is difficult,
if not Impossible, for the director
goneral to carry out the policles.ab
solutely necessary to effiviency !n\ho
railroads with this delay and uncer
tainty wrapped around the properties
by the peostponement of Government
action.
Ownership Inevitable.
Tt is notable also that the director
general, with his hands on the throttle
and his eye on the rail holdirfg the
transportatipn system in a broader
and more comprehensive view than
any man has ever had the opportunity
to consider it, is clearly, strongly and
emphatically of the opinion that Gov
ernment ownership s the sound,
statesman-like policy for our Govern
ment,
“Absolute control Is indispensable
if there 18 to be absolute responsi
bility,” is the language of Mr. Mc-
Adno. This attitude carrles his pro
test against committing the fixing of
rates to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. *“lt is certain,” sald Mr.
McAdoo, “to result in conflict and
complications and embarrass the Gov
ernment co-operation”
One of the great raillroad experts in
the director general's eouncil, sald
today: ~
“(Government ownership of rall

Shaggy Poilu May Be a Famous Artist and Trim

5, WGODS HUTORRSON. ..
Every grade of intelligence, every
type of interest, every social view
point is represented in the rank and
file of the French army.- The shaggy
poilu, in faded blue tunic and plough
boy boots, who sit§ on the cracker
box opposite, may be a famous artist
with a score of successes in the Salon
to his credit. The trim young ser
geant who sits next to you may be a
rising poet'and darling of the cases of
the Quartier Latin;, while the burly,
grizzled major on your left may be a
lecturer at the Borbonne or an emd
nent authority on international law.
Nor is this a mere fancy sketch. In
one single headquarters mess, whose
guest I was In a little country inn in
the Vosges, one academic or scientific
title after another was mentioned, un
til 1 asked permission to make formal
couht, and we found no fewer than
five cellege professors, one academi
cian, a former Deputy of the French
Parliament, and a well-known essay
ist and critic.
Rank and File Well Read.
Even the rank and file of the French
army are for the most part surpris
ingly well read and well informed on
most of the subjects of the day. And
they can weave the most beautiful
and animated and eloquent evening’s
conversation out of a mere handful of
modest facts, which would scarce
have provided material for a dozen
responsive grunts between phlegmat
fc and unimaginative Anglo-Saxons.
The French camps have excellent
official theaters and moving picture
shows, and companies of famous act
ors and actresses and vaudeville stars
volunteer their services to travek up
and down the lines to bring pleasure
and relaxation into the llves of those
who have given themaselves for the
defence of their country.
Similar organizations and arrange
ments exist along both the English
and Itallan fronts, and one 6f my
most picturesque memories {s an
open-air theatrical performance I at
tended In a beautiful little bowl
among the hills just at the foot of the
Carso, where a company of actresses
and actors from Milan presented, with
spirit and vigor, two charming little
comedies before almost half a division
of Italian soldlers, more than 4,000
strong.
Audience Keenly Critical.
The hel:fe, delighted audience of
Bersaglierl, In their sweeping cocks’
plumes; of infantry and artillerymen,
in their ehimmer and gray, and of Al
pini, in their green Tyrolese hats and
bucks’ tails, was most appreciative,
but keenly critical as well.
One musical hall favorite had omit
ted one of the sauclest ver-r of her
song out of deferemce to the dignity
of the generals of the headquarters
staff who filled the front rows with
their stars and ribbons. The soldiers
noticed the omission at once, and
when she came back for her encore
they shouted loudly: “Sing the other
verse, »signorita! Never mind the
_generals; they won't care, and the
hgneoi- isn’t here!” 7
' The only other disturbance of good
order was when an Impudent Aus
trian airplane came zooming over the
Carso and tried to break up the show

Cheerful and Uncomplaining. |
But when it comes to entertain
ment and arcusement, the Italian sol
dier can take care of himself even
better than his French comrade. He
ils a wonaerfully cheerful, happy,
plucky, uncomplaining chap, the best
of good company to himself and.
every one else about him. 1 don't
mind corfesring I fell completely in
love with him in my month on the
Isonzo, and formed a very high
opinicn of his intelligence, endurance
and soldierly qualities, which I am
proud to feel has been justified, even
after Lis temporary disaster, by his
splendid tenacity and determination
on che Plave, the Benta and Monte
Grappa.
He is content with the simplest
and plainest of foods, bread, cheese,
meat stew, onions, red wine, hard
work all day and a hard couch at
night, if he can only have a couple
of hours in the sunset and the twi
light to stretch himself and chat and
joke, to strum upon his mandolin, to
eing to its plaintive strains or dance
to {ts lively ones. .
His pluck and cheerfulness when
wounded or suffering are simply be
yond praise. I have heard men, shot
through the chest, or abdomen, or
with both legs shattered, joke and
laugh with their bearers as they were
being lifted out of the ambulance to
be carried to tne operating table.
Goes Willingly to Death.
No army on the western front could
show filner examples of heroism and
devotion. I saw the slopes of the
Carso, where in the early months of
the war, when they were almost des
titute of heavy artillery, one volun
teer party after another had rushed
right up to the barbed wire entangle
ments of the Austrian intrenchments
carrying tubes of high explosives,
which they hurled into the wire by
hand, well knowing that none would
return unwounded, and few alive, un
til a breach was cleared through
which the columns behind could pour
over their bodies and flood the
trenches,
No other army had as splendid a
record and display of patfent, tire
less work actually accomplished; of
superb automobile roads, carried to
the very tops of the mountains; of
bridges built, tunnels bored or moun
tains pierced—or their whole tops
‘blown off by mines—to say nothing of
heavy guns dragged up above the
snow line or mounted on giddy peaks
where there was scarce foottmg for a
chamols, and wonderful cable aerial
rallways swinging like spiders’ webs
from crag to crag or from the brink
of a preciglce to the valley below.
Really, they were such a busy and
inJjustrious community that they
struck, me as having less leisure for
mere entertainment and educational
activities than almost any army that
I visited To smoke and chat and
lounge in the soft evening air seemed
to be enjoyment enough for them

PAVING WORK
CTARTS SOON
. .
Construction Chief Hopes Supply
Men Will Be Generous in
. .
Bids on Material,
“1f the supply men will be generous
in their bidg on material, the work of
paving Atla;uu's streets can be under
way in a very.short Lime now,” stated
H. L. Collier, city chief of construc
tion, after the county board of public
wcrks had agreedr to glve financial
ald. Mr. Collier will advertise at once
for bids on the work.
The construction chief was delight
ed at the action of the county board
and stated that many needed street
improvements will be possible thls
year. Work on several streets at the
same time is possible. and Mr. Collier
will endeavor to let contracts to dif
ferent firms in order that the work
may be rushed. However, if low bids
are not submitted, the construction
department will purchase supplies and
do the paving liself.
The Council street commh?tee has
decided to cut out free paving this
year and will expect property owners
who benefit to pay their part on the
work. The Huddleston ordinance,
passed in 1910, is to be invoked. This
ordinance requires groperty owners
on 80-foot streets t 6 pay a 30-cent
assessment for street paving, prop
erty owners on 40-foot streets to pay
40 cents, and on 60-foot streets to pay
50 cents. By this method the streets
ordinary fund can be made to go
twice as far as ordinarily.
