thu llnu bore today nt thu eighth
conference of thu western economic
society, nnd while most of tho speak
ers wore ready to grunt thnt tho rall-
ronds were offlclcntly mnnnged, Pro
feasor V. .. Illpley of Harvard Uni
versity, lutnnrkcd In effect that the
bookkeeping of toino of thu ronds
wiih more than efficient It wns mi
raculous.
Professor Itlpley's Htibject was
"Tho Investors Interest In Itnllroad
Valuation," nnd lie argued that phy
sical valuation, on which tho i;o em
inent Is spending from 115,000,000
to 1'JO, 0(10,000 would have protected
the Investor from the stock jabbing
apparent In thu difficulties which
now beset the Ndw York, New Haven
nnd Hartford, the Itock Islnnd, tho
I'rlftco, thu Iloston and Maine, and
other ronds.
Change of Attitude
Thu llarvurd economist observed
that thu attitude of the railroads had
chnnged from vehement objection
to government regulation to a rather
cheerful acceptance of new condl
tious.
"This chnngo of opinion has fol
lowed n grndttnl appreciation of the
protect! vu value to vested interests of
n complete revelation of all tlio ex
luting flnnnclnt fjcts," ha said. He
asserted that physical valuation was
merely n phase of n sound account
ing system.
Kvcry railroad accountant, the
professor lontlmtcd, wns nwnru that
"thu cost of property," Item in book
keeping was n veritable cntch-ull of
thu bnlancu sheet, ns much so, ho
said, ns the profit nnd Iocs account
so often used to even discrepancies
between liabilities ami assets.
Ilimtlrcil .Millions Water
"Tho only difference Is thnt tho
cost of property, stretched bnck over
n long period of years may bo
'fudged' with greater Impunity than
profit nml loss, which Is linked nioro
directly with recent events," com
mented thu speaker. This remark
brought him to tho financing of tho
trans-continental extension of tho
Chlcngo, Milwaukee nnd St. Paul in
lit 10, which hu said offered an un
answerable argument for )h steal
valuation. One hundred million
dollars of block wns thrown Into the
capitalization merely "to give good
measure,"
To build thu 1700 mile extension
cost f 15.-1,000,000, Professor Hlpley
said. Tho parent road advanced this
sum to the extension company on its
bonds. No other funds existed
"yet," tho speaker continued, "In the
first annual roport of tho Puget
Sound company for l'.'lO, tho proper
ty Investment appears as flMti.OOO,-
000, Ono )car later this valuation
wns raised to rJfiO.OOO.OOO."
Citing tho case of tlio Now York,
Now Ilnvon and Hartford, tho spenker
snld thnt physical valuation a. deendo
ago would have prevented tho Infla
tlon of It ssccurltlcs nnd tho recent
crash which he said snuffed out the
modest Incomes of .countless widows
mid orphans.

San Luis Potosl Occupied Without a

Not to Begin for Several Days,
Though Railroad Is Seized.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Kl. General
Villa Iiiih ordered an attack on Tuiu-
pico. His army is operating front
the city of Sail Luis I'oto-i, which
was occupied without firinjr a shot.
Official ilipn(clies received here to
day my the people, received Villa
witli mi ovation.
It will be M'ernl day before the
Villa troops will be in a position to
begin fightiut! nt Tampieo, but they
arc already taking possesion of the
railroad leading there from San Luis
PoIom. About 800 Americans are in
Tmupico.
Americans (, Witlidrnw
Several Amcricanhhips nre in the
harbor there and the American con
sul at San Lain I'otoxi lias arranged
to notify the coiimiI at Tmupico, so
that Americans can withdraw to
place- of .safety witli the advance of
the Villa tinny.
Tampieo is next in importance to
Vera Cruz as a seanort. Thu possi
bility of withdrawn! of Aincricau
forces from Vera Cnir, which then
would fall into the hands of General
Aguilar, who is loyal to C'arrnnzn,
probablv determined General Villa to
take Tampieo, to which ammunition
and war supplies can he imported and
rushed overland through central Mex
ico to his other columns.
Ktiiihie War Kp'ctcil
Officinls expect that if ciil war
results it will be much more extensive
than anything- Mexico has seen.
Larger forces than ctcr have been
under unn have been or-raniy-ed, as
ninny us 100,000 men being well
equipped and nlmot that number
more available.
No estimate of the forces Villa will
control is available as yet, but mili
tary experts here think he has nl
icady strategic advantages in the ex
tent of territory dominated by his
men.

LONDON, Nov. 13, 2:03 p. ni.
The territory captured nnd lost slnco
the two opposing forces Joined Issue
nearly a month ngo In tho Flanders'
cockpit could almost bo covered by a
surveyor's chain. Despite the llmlta.
tlons of tho field and the Intensity
of the fighting, both fronts still breast
one another In an unbroken barrier
along the Yscr. Day by dny nnd foot
by foot, tho advances and retirements
nre hotly contested and still the final
outcome is not In sight. To obser
vers In London it seems that victory
dopends largely on which stdo will
first bo ablo to wear down the re
sistance of tho other.
The apparent inability of tho Ger
man to push their recent success at
Dlxmude to a decisive Issue has re
moved much of the anxiety thnt was
felt In Lontfon when the news of the
capturu of this village was first te
eelved. As wag the case three weeks
ago when t ho Germans tuado their
Initial crossing of tho Yscr. they havo
again been thrown back, and Kngllsh
observers, reading tho sterile official
Hrittsh and French announcements,
glean the Intimation that tho lost
ground soon will bo regained. The
suggestion that the German attack on
Ulsmudo was primarily Intended to
mask u retreat finds no support hero
and the theory that tho Invaders con
template anything like an extcuslvo

This statement Is made on high au

"The Delgian peasant bus in many
districts no homo in which to .sleep,
no seed to sow, no implements with

unbelievable that war ever produced

It cannot he attributed to lack of
