J. Spence, director of traffic for the Southern Pacific Company at New York. Mr. Spence is on a trip of inspection for the first time since the end of the government con trol. He stated that the impairment of morale and efficiency among rail road employes, as the result of what he called "the inherent weak ness of. government operation," was one of he most difficult things with which the railroad had to contend. "However, noticeable improvement has been made since the employes no longer have their eyes on Wash ington, but instead are looking to their local superiors." Mr. Spence said that the Southern Pacific was doing all in its power to restore its equipment and facilities to the point which would satisfy the public. The company is spending This money, according to Mr. Spence?, is being raised by Equipment Trust certificates and is costing 7 per cent. The prospective increase in freight rates of 25 per cent will provide only for the increased wages obtained under federal control. With the new increase forecasted by the Railway Labor board, the railroad official said that he did not see how even passenger rates would escape an increase.

The Legion hopes to make the event of November 11 the crowning featuTe of the greatest of all Armistice days the most impressive and memora ble patriotic function in which Amer icana ever participated and one de signed to live in history as an epochal milestone in the nation's life. It is planned that not only mem bers of the Legion but all ex-service persons and the next of kin of those who died or lost their lives in battle, will join their comrades gnd their countrymen in a united tribute to the spirit of America on the anni versary of the day in 1918 which marked that spirit's great supreme achievement. "It is not with vanity but with wholesome pride in the triumph of our arms in the most crucial test of strength in history," writes Frank lin D'Olier, national commander of the Legion, in a letter to all depart ment officials urging enthusiastic participation in the celebration, , "that the Legion appeals to all I Americans to make our 1920 Armis- . j - j 1.1 fUvnnvliniif Vi 1 lice oay memuiauiQ uimuunuu. years to come. "We want it to be a tribute, above all else, to our country and our flag and the flags of our heroic Allies. In a still higher sense, it should be a solemn, affectionate dedication of our lives to the principles for which more than 100,000 of our country men and millions of our comrades in j arms made the supreme and final sacrifice. The Legion, since it is 'the splendid youth who served America because they loved Ameri ca,' can appropriately take the initi ative in this movement and because the Legion is a true and repre sentative cross-section of our nation al citizenship, it is confident that Americans generally will whole heartedly co-operate to make the celebration a success."
