NEW YORK, Thomas DeWitt
Cuylar, Chairman of tha Astocialion
of Railway Encuthroi, nnouncd to
day that th fundamental fact of
tha railroad situation would bs preien
tad to tha country by means of na
tional advertising-. Tha opening stata
ment, to appear In the daily newspa
pers during tha next few days, Is sign
ed by nearly hundred executives of
the principal railroads. It will be
followed by a scries of advertisements
in tha daily and weekly newspapers
and in other publication.
"Tha unmistakable verdict of pub
lic opinion," said Mr. Coyler, "is that
this great national industry shall con
tinue to be conducted by private com
panies Under strict public regulation.
Modern railroad companies, of course
ara not private affairs. Their capital
is subscribed by a vast number of
Individual investors, as well as by in
stitutions, such as savings banks and
life Insurance companies, holding the
savings of millions of people, and
they ara subject to tha most minute
regulation by the public authorities.
In Europe such corporations ara cal-
ed public companies, and this name
mora accurately deacribe them.
"With the return of the railroads to
tha control of their owning compan
ies, after two years of war service
under Government operation a per
iod of unprecedented industrial and
financial change the railroad mana
gers win have many difficult probl
ems to face. But tha most important
problem the one most affecting the
public welfare will be that of attrac
ting to the railroad trainees a row
of new capital, without which the rail
roads cannot grow, and wlri-Mit which
the joontry cannot grow.
"The whole railroads problem sifts
down to this fundamental fact that
in a growing country like our, with
the transportations demands increas
ing much faster that tha population,
there must be a continuous investment
of new funds in the expansion of rail .
road facilities.
In the opening statement to the
public, signed by the executives of
nearly all the railroad companies, tha
Association states; ,
"It is the declared purpose of the
United States Government to restore
the railroads at an early date to the
control of their owners.
"The Association of Railroad Exec
utives represents those upon whom at
that time responsibility will again
rest for the prompt and successful
movement of theVcountry's commerce.
"Thost constituting this Associa
tion are keenly conscious of their
accountability to the public. ' -
"They have accordingly determined
to present as fully as they can, the
fundamental facts and considerations
which they themselves must face in
their efforts to provide satisfactory
railroad service.
"It is hoped 10 'engage the interest
of the whole American people, whose
welfare is so vitally dependent upon '
adequate transportation. '
"The coon try can grow only as the
railroad grow. The cailroad problem
mast be solved end solved ' rightly
and toon if onr country is to prosper.
"It is to promote that prosperity
permanently and in the interest of the
wholepeople that railroad executives
will present to the public the situation
aa they see it" - - -

" They'll : Not "Go Too Far',.
! (Hutchinson (Kan.) Gasette) : '
' They faced the armed enemies of
their country and won victory. To
them America means everything
that the human heart holds dear.
For American they fought and bled
and all too many died. - Small won
der , therefore, that - the American"
Legion haa "caught up the torch"
here at home against the red, the
radical, the . seditionist, the class,
agitator who would make mockery of
the hard-won victory. '
; -America is only safe for Americans.
Such ia tha dictum of the American
Legion.., They have earned the right
to speak. '; " $
They do not propose to see the conn
try for which they so unselfishly
fought, in defense of which they sac
rificed personal " fortunes, personal
comfort and held not lift Itself dear
er thanduty torn and disrupted by
class revolution. ' " ;
Fear has been expressed that these
veterans may "go too far" in their
new declaration of indepenteneet
Did they "go too. far" at Chateau
Thierry, at St. Mihlcl, In the Ar-
gonne? j - .
Only those to whom the principles
of genkine Americanism are repug
nant, only those who .would set at
naught their victory, only those who
would plunge this country into the
chaos of violence, have need to fear
hat these stalwart Americans will
"go too far." -' ,

greatly improved during the last few
months but waa not well constructed
to meet the temperature of the last
few day and a a result the pipes
are reported to be in a bad shape, and
the plant in general disorganized.
