Crowder made to congress lust week shows that if the war continued throughout the year 1313 the government was prepared to have an army embracing a total of 7100000 poem A reserve of men ia class one was waiting to be mobilized when the armistice was signed The American people were in earnest about winning the war About the most forceful argument against government owner-ahip of railroads is in Mr- annual report He says passenger fares were increased 10 per cent and freight rates 25 per cent and yet admits a loss of $250000000 in one year of government operation For several yearn railroad officials had been begging for a 25 per cent pas-acagcr raise and a 5 per cent freight raise without avail and yet were managing to mike ends meet Mr McAdoo arbitrarily raises rates far beyond the most sanguine hopes of railroad people and yet is compelled to pillage the treasury many millions of dollars to make up his losses Journal CENERAL LINDSAY a former mCalhosn boy now visiting relatives
