Brown Oldest Conductor Those were the days when farmhouses near the rail lines opened their doors and farmers contributed provisions for the passengers. Those pioneer days developed men and women who have weathered the storms of life.

Amos H. Brown, oldest passenger conductor In the United States, has been employed by the Fitchburg Division of the Boston Maine for more than 60 years. In 1885 he was station master of the old Fitchburg Depot here, as well as running a train on the line as conductor. He was employed as a brakeman two years, after which he was promoted to conductor. George M.

Smith of Sanbornvllle, became a telegrapher In 1871 and has passed the half-century mark of continuous employment. Born In Hllls-boro In 1851, educated in the local schools and the High School at Hart-land, Vt, and later at Windsor, Vt, he took a position at 19 years of age at Woodsville, as telegrapher on the Boston, Concord Montreal Road. In 1872 he shifted to the Connecticut Passumpsic at White River Junction. After that he held various positions in various places, finally giving 26 years as train dispatcher on the Northern Division of the Boston Maine.

"It is not, however, my present purpose to enter at any length Into such questions as the Ruhr and Rhlneland occupations, or the Palatinate, beyond saying that no one who has to observe British opinion today can afford to overlook the urgent necessity of coming to arrangements regarding them without delay.

They have seen pension systems placed in operation. During those pioneer days rail workers were of necessity rugged men. A station agent, for instance, kept his books, sold tickets, handled baggage and freight, shoveled snow, cleaned his station, cared for oil lamps and signal lights, helped shift cars and clean them, loaded freight, aided In loading cuts of cordwood upon the locomotive tender each evening for the next day's runs, and rendered first aid in accidents.

All rail workers are enthusiastic. Their enthusiasm keeps them young and active beyond the limits of their years. In the early days it was no uncommon tory in the Union, Central and South. Rt Rev H. L.

Burleson missionary Bishop of South Dakota, preached last evening In Trinity Church. "The disciples chosen by God," ha said, "lacked education, experience and social advantages, and had no qualities of personal attraction. Tet they had one qualification they knew something of Jesus Christ. Although they were not social leaders, they were able to proclaim Him and to be witnesses about Him. "That is the business of Christianity, and all else In the church is Incidental to that.

The disciples believed and could tell of Him. They transformed the face of the earth with their declaration of their knowledge of Jesus Christ. That is the missionary motive. "Establishing a kingdom of God is one man helping another to believe, to realize the deeper purpose of life. It may be true that the church exists to make people good, but it is of no value unless it makes them good for something.

There is a great deal of goodness in the world, but it has no roots. It is a negative good satisfied to exist and doesn't care about multiplying itself. "That is the attitude some people have toward domestic and foreign missions. They believe in missions, nut WASHINGTON. C.

March Charles A. Piatt of New Tork has been selected by the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institution as the architect to design the proposed National Gallery of Art Building to be erected here. Mr Piatt designed the Freer Gallery Building donated by the late Charles L. Freer of Detroit, Mich, to house the splendid collection of art works given by him to the Nation. He has designed also the gallery which is to be constructed in WMkesbarre, Penn.

The preparation of the architect's design for the proposed National Gallery Building has been made possible through the contribution of funds by private individuals interested in the project and accepted by the Smithsonian Institution, which is custodian of the National Gallery of Art now housed in the Natural History Building of the Smithsonian group. The site for the building has already been set aside by act of Congress, in that great parkway stretching south of Pennsylvania av from the Capitol to the Washington Monument the Mall. It remains now to secure funds for the erection of the building Itself. Mr Piatt was in Washington recently In consultation with the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Charles D. Walcott, and members of the commission at the National Gallery of Art about the plans for the gallery building.

The new offices are In a newly erected business building in the Grand Central Terminal xone, bounded by Madison and Vanderbllt avs and by East 46th and 47th sts. The offices occupy the sixth floor. Neither of the Premiers will make any attempt to formulate concrete proposal until the expert committees have reported.

Mr Macdonald again shows that his main hope Is to attain such a state of affairs In Europe as should Induce the United States to cooperate In the reconstruction of Europe. Poincare repudiates any design to annex a particle of German territory, and. concerning British suspicion of French motives in giving military assistance to the "little entente" countries, declared that the French alms are absolutely peaceful, and he only desires that England should cooperate with the tame group of countries for the purpose of maintaining peace In Europe. Jf Poincare seems to think that It will be a long time before the committees aw able to present their reports. In the meantime he reechoes most of an should not act tosrather to carry It out." lems are merely subsidiary.

"For when I consider our relations in their wider aspects I do not feel that our essential objects are so divergent. The French people desire security; the British people cherish that Identical ideal. But, whereas France conceives security as security against Germany alone, what we desire Is security against war. Thinks League May Help "It may well be that some later decade may see the coming of universal disarmament and universal arbitration. Our task, meanwhile, must be to estab ing a particle of German territory, or turning a single German Into a French citizen.

"At no time, either during the peace negotiations or since, has any pretension of this nature been put forward. France, who fought side by side with England for the liberty of Nations, is as incapable as England of infringing this liberty. "Apart from Alsace, we have never claimed the Rhine as a frontier. We only asked that Germany could no longer be In a position to use the Rhine as a military base In fresh attacks against France. We have asked that In the general Interests of peace the river should form a barrier against aggression.

That was the thought expressed by Marshal Foch on the morrow of the armistice.

The editorial comment of the London morn-ins; newspapers on the Macdonald-Polncaro correspondence is remarkably cordial. It expresses the view that this latest exchange between the two Premlera la both hopeful and healthful. The most striking statement is contained in the opinion expressed by the Conservative Morning Post, which ordinarily ia strongly hostile to the Government.

This newspaper says the correspondence will be cordially welcomed in both countries as showing clearly "that the two statesmen have got a stage farther on the road leading to a durable un-destandlng." It sees In the correspondence certain tendencies which "if tenaciously pursued tnay end the nightmare of Indecision and suspicion which wt-ighs upon France and Great Britain. One of these tendencies is declared to be that Macdonaiol "Bees that the United States cannot the British Prime Minister's aspirations for cooperation by the two countries in tea interests of a just settlement, and, on the whole, the correspondence, although it does not materially advance, otrtalnly does not diminish, the chances of an ultimate settlement. Premier Macdonald's letter to Poincare, which is dated Feb 21, says tliat, encouraged by the friendly nature of Polncare's reply to his previous letter, he desires to prepare the way tor a more complete mutual understanding by an unreserved recital of "the difficulties with which I am faced and the manner in which I myself en-vtuge the situation." Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Armies nor the French Government of 1919 had for a single moment the Idea of incorporatine in French territory one situations and problems as the Ruhr, the Rhlneland and the Palatinate, then our ultimate objects will again become obstructed and we shall relapse into the old wearisome round of controversy and altercation on points that may be important, but are not fundamental. "It is in the hope of avoiding any such retrograde movement that I have endeavored In this letter to indicate what I consider to be the essentials of the problems. "I repeat, my dear Premier, that the condition of Europe can only, I feel convinced, be remedied by joint action between France and England, undertaken with full sympathy for their respective requirements and with wise regard for the interests of the world at large.

For such cooperation I am fully prepared." Reply by Poincare Premier Poincare, after asserting that he is in full agreement with Mr Mac-donald regarding his review of the questions to be settled and the methods he contemplated for their solution, says: "No more than you do I wish at this stage to enter into too much detail, or formulate concrete proposals. But I am anxious to asure you that I am ready to begin with you an examination of these great outstanding problems, and I shall enter upon this examination in that spirit of conciliation and loyalty with which you yourself are animated. "I think that with mutual good-will we should succeed, without too much difficulty, in dispelling the regrettable misunderstandings which have arisen between the two countries. "Ever since the signature of the peace treaty France has been obsessed by two legitimate pre-occupatlons. She alms at the restoration of her material adherence to this group of friendships as the best guarantee of peace.

Moreover, in lending to the Allied States of Central Europe the resources necessary for their defense, we have done nothing which could impoverish ourselves or prevent us from paying our own debts, since the loans to which we agreed were only agreed to In exchange for positive pledges. "On all these points I am convinced straightforward explanations given openly will put an end In our respective countries to inaccurate interpretations and will destroy prejudices inspired by erroneous or Incomplete Information. "To bring our two public opinions more surely back to a Just appreciation of things I think, like you, that we must rise above questions of secondary Interest, and, above all, keep in view the future of our countries and the welfare of humanity. To Retire When Paid "We occupied the Ruhr in order to Induce Germany sen tie with us and to conquer the stubborn resistance of the German Industrial magnates. This method of pressure will cease, as we have announced, on the day that Germany pays off her debts.

On the other hand, the occupation of tha Rhlneland will come to an end when tbe conditions latd down In the treaty have been fulfilled and our security guaranteed. "It will doubtless not be long before the experts present their reports. The Reparation Commission and the Allied Governments will. In accordance with their respective competence, examine the opinions given by the experts. We shall then be able, I hope, to arrive rapidly at a comprehensive settlement, and to Insure that Germany carries It square men ot uerman territory.

"Whether this object can be partially achieved by processes of local demilitarization and neutralization, by the creation between certain States of hands of neutralized territory under mutual, or even collective guarantees and supervision, or by some other means. Is a matter for careful consideration in detail. "It is a matter, I believe, in which the League of Nations, both by discussion and eventual action, might play an important part.

In the opinion of Mr Piatt, a palatla structure ts not the greatest essential for the American National Gallery of Art to be erected tn Washington. His plans, therefore, will look more nearlv to adequate picture galleries, and at the same time will endeavor to make the great gallery building architecturally attractive and worthy.

"Here again. If France and England can but agree, the cooperation of the other European countries' will be assured and it will be possible for us to approach the United States, not as debtors disputing one with the other, but as a united Europe anxious by mutual sacrifice and arrangement to cure the ills from which our people are now suffering.

Without that peace founded on Justice, the commercial and industrial life which England wishes to see reborn would unfortunately not be possible. "On the other hand, the day France is indemnified for her ruins and sheltered from attack, the whole continent will have great likelihood of regaining tranquility. "Those of your fellow countrymen who believe that France dreams or has dreamt, of the political or economic annihilation of Germany are mistaken.

"As the creditor of Germany, France is not so mad as to wish to reduce her debtor to poverty.
