This order adding a'"roxmiatclv
$1.10,000,000 to the annual payroll,

American industrial history. - It is
supplementary to the general railroad
ware order issued nearly four months
nio, providing for about $.100,000,000
increases.
Voluntary Increase
Most of the employes covered bv
the new order have made considera
bly less than $100 n month, and the
voluntary increase was decided on bv
the director frcneral after investiga
tion by his advisorv board of rail
roa dwaires and working conditions.
The order specified that eipht

day, but overtime up to ten hours is
f to be paid prorata, with one and one
half the regular rate for overtime
past the ten hours.
Specific rules arc laid down for the
promotion of employes on grounds of
merit mid -seniority Other regula

LON DON, Sept. ;5. The allies are
putting, out the Oennaas' eyes!
At la It this sta tement can he mado
flatly. " ,
Official 'igur es on fllo at the Brit
ish air mill: Etr) covering more than a
year provo i t. ,
In the yi ur from July, 11117. to
July, 1!S, t:i British alono brought
dow-n more than 41)00 enemy air
pianos. IJrirJ di machines missing
for the same '3 eriod numljcr period
number only a b jut 1000.
Theso figure & include all the fronts
on which the i British airmen art
working And the scoreJ is four to one!
It may also he. stated officially that
the figures slnnj July 1, 1!I1S, keep
up that score.
By agreement; , tho allies do not
make public each other's air statis
tics. But the Ilni ish know what the'
other allies aro t'ioing, and it can be
stated officially fl at the showing of
the French, Italia; is and Americans
is equally convincing in that:
1. The allies tin all fronts hold
unquestioned aerial superiority over
the enemy.
2. The margin ol superiority held
by all the allied air iorces in all the
aters is now greater. tjian at any time
during the war and isi constantly and
rapidly increasing!
iloro aro some inoro encouraging
official facts:
From every possiblo indication,
the Germans havo reached their
maximum strength in the air.
Leaving America out of it, except
where American aviators aro now
working with allied, air units, the
allies' superiority in tho air on all
fronts Is greater tlyu at any time
during tho war, ami whilo the Ger
mans are in all probability standing
still or dropping slightly
The allied superiority and streni-.lh
is increasing daily; and
Tho rate of Increaso Is increasing
daily!
So that when America comes into
th air situation in strength the .aer
ial' superiority of tho forces fighting
the' Huns should go bouncing up ut
such a rate as to give tho alllositre
meudous advantages.

WASHINGTON, Sopt. 5. Napo
leon said nn army traveled on Its
stomach. Uncle Sam wiser than
Honnparto says an army travels on
j Its stomach and Its feel.
! For that reason there Is probably
! no army In history that compares
j with ours lor tho attention paid to
'the feet of tho men and their shoos.
I The medical department of the army
has specialists who instruct both of
ficers und men in tho care of tho
foot. And they have co-operated in
finding an army shoo which, it Is
claimed, Is tho superior of any on tho
globe. Tho claim Is hacked up by
figures.
Kxtensivo foot Inspections were
mado of tho "soldiers trained during
tho latter half of IS 17. The men
were examined when they were In
ducted Into service and just before
they went overseas. Comparison
showed that marked changes had
been favorable to better feet.
This was attributed to two factors;
tho increased attention to foot health
on tho part of officers and men' and
tho comfortableness of the army
shoe.
Tho whole secret of success Is that
tho men are compelled to take a
shoe that leaves about two-thirds of
an inch between the end of the lon
gest too and the end of the shoe.
There is often lots of growling at
this, but at tho end of four to six
months' training the men find the
distance, between the too and shoe
is only about hulf an Inch. The foot
has actually grown In length.
'i'hero Is greator freedom of toe ac
tion, which in turn affects both
muscles und joints. This Is followed
by lengthening of -tho ligaments, In
crease In slzo of tho muscles, altera
tion of the anatomic elements or tho
foot and greater ability to stand the
.stress of much marching.
Not only that, lint corns disappear
and there are less cases of Ingrowing
toenails. Ill fact, tho men in the
army, who use their feet bo much,
suffer less than civilians.

is itinr before the country this win
ter to nk John Hull ami Mrs. John
Hull to buck him up.
That is the meaning of the eoniinir
parliamentary election in which wo
men over years will vote for the
first time.
Despite this hih ae limit, some
observers predict that u000,(lt)l) wo
men will vote.
It is coneeiletl that, barring some
entirelv nnforsoeii turn in the course
of tin war. the country will elect an
overwhelming majority pledged to
help tho Welshman prosecute tho war.
In other words, Lloyd (leorgo is ex
ported to emerge from the shower of
Imllotn at the head of what will bo,
lor all practical purposes and for the
duration of the war, a ''Lloyd Oeorge
party.''
The premier is now supported by a
war coalition parliament members
of different political views who have
united behind him for the war.
Many of the present members, lib
erals, unionists and lalmrites, will
stand for re-election. AVbere they
promise suppurt to the premier tliey
will be unopposed, in many eases.
Where they fail to make such n stand
Lloyd George candidates will take the
field again! them.
Pally Divisions Nominal
So thai practically everywhere
there will be a Lloyd Oeorge candi
date, whatever party banner he
waves.
The new parliament will, of course,
he divided on the lines of the present
parties liberals, unionists, lahoriles
and others. Out this division will he
nominal.
The only real division, insofar as
the waV is concerned, will be Lloyd j
(icprr men and 4 ' opposition."
There will he close lo 700 ninbers
of the new parliament, and it is gen
erally predicted that Lloyd George
will have at least 500 active support
ers. Laltor to (Jain Seats
The election will probably be hold
between October and February. .He
fore that time Llovd George is ex
pected to nmke statements of policv
for the a'iroval of the voters. These
are sure to include a primary pledge
to win the war.
They are expected to contain strong
reference to the unity of tho eom
man din the west one of tho suc
cessful high spots of the premier's
1018 political battles.
It is ulso predicted that Lloyd
George will outline more definitely,
the government's economic plans, and
its league of nations ideas.
Labor is expected to gain seats, and
it is widely predicted that the Sinn
Keiiiers will make substantial gains.
Whether Sinn Kein candidates will
sweep all southern Ireland, defeating
