The credit section of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' Associa
tion held an enthusiastic meeting
last night. The meeting was opexi- \
ed by singing of popular songs.
David Sanger, chairman, briefly j
outlined the aims of the associa-,
tion. urging each member to co-op
erate.
The entertainment committee pro-;
vided special musical numbers by;
Mr. Stokeley. of Parker-Bridget:
Company, and John D. Clarke, ofj
T^ansburgh and Brother, accompa-j
nied by Mark Lansburgh. violinist,
and Mr. Robinson, accompanist.
Among those present were Max
Fischer, treasurer of Woodward and.
Lothrop. Incorporated, who con
gratulated the association and as-1
sured it of hia belief In the success \
of its enterprise. Nicholas Brewer. (
who has been recently elected as |
manager of the association, and who
was formerly connected with R. G.
Runn and Company, was introduced.
He received a hearty welcome.
Addrenn On Credit".
The most Interestinc talk of the
evening was by Roy Neuhauser. of
the National City Company and
formerly president of the National
Bankers' Association, who spoke on
rational and international credits.
He declared the great task before
merchants and individuals today is
to gradually and most carefully con
tract the over expansion of our na
tional credit until the standard of
exchange assumes the normal value.
He said there should be no inter
ference with the natural return to
normal staple and settled condition
as between capital and labor, as the
purchase value of the American
dollar will be increased with the
normal return of wage condition
based upon pre-war standard, which
will be a benefit to all. He further i
specified that the question before |
the country today is how we may
expect foreign nations to pay their
indebtedness and said that this
should best be done by absorbing
foreign securities among our peo- j
pie. and. as a credit nation, build
tip the devastated countries abroad.

COLDS AND FLU
BEST TREATED
WITH CALOTABS
The New Perfected Calomel That
Is Free from Nauseating and
Salivating Effects.
Physicians op druggists will tell you ;
that tho best thing in the world for j
a cold, grippe or influenza, is Calo- '
tal?s. the p**rf#?cted calomel, that is ,
free from nauseating and salivating j
effects*. Doctors have learned that |
other laxatives are uncertain and un- j
satisfactory for cold and grippe, but i
that they can count on Calotabs. the j
new calomel, that has all the liver 1
benefits and none of the sting, to I
thoroughly arouse the liver and put j
the system in ideal condition to throw [
off the cold and prevent influenza
and pneumonia.
The best time to take Calotabs Is j
at the first sign of a cold. If you i
take it at the beginning you can cure
a cold over night. One Calotab on
the tongue at bed time with a swal
low of water?that's all. In the morn
ing you wake up feeling fine with a '
hearty appetite for breakfast. Your
cold has vanished and you may con- |
gratulate yourself that you have pos- i
sibly prevented serious complications, j
for physicians tell us that neglected j
colds number their victims by the!
mil lion a
For yonr protection. Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages,
price 35 cents. Your druggist will
supply you. and your money given
back promptly and cheerfully if you
are not delighted with this new form
of calomel.?Adv.

KANSANS VICTIMS
OF OWN BARRAGES,
DECLARES ALLEN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE OK*.
today. He is now Adjutant General
of Kansas.
**It was a glorious but costly vie- I
tory/ declared Governor Allen, who
quoted a French officer as saying
that if the French had fought like i
the Thirty-flfth. they would have
bad no army left after the first
yefu-.
Airplane Shortage Mystery.
When asked who was responsible
for the conditions he had described, ,
Governor Allen replied:
"The responsibility for the lack
of material lay with whatever I
source was under obligation to sup- j
ply it. The shortage of airplanes
la one of the mysteries of the air
plane service.
?The battle of the Argonne Forest j
was the battle for which we had i
been preparing for months. When
we came to It, we didn't have the
machinery. It seemed to be a part |
of that highly organized inefficiency |
that characterized the whole army j
over there. Whenever you touched j
anything, it fell down, except one .
thing, the raw men material, which
was all right."
Governor Allen said the aircraft |
didn't arrive and that the division j
I ought with French ordnance. He
also declared that they were con
stantly buying horses at J<00 each
"and were losing them the nexf. day
because they were not fit to do the
work."
A letter written by a *?jJor.
whose name Gov. Allen withheld,
was read saying the casualties in
his battalion were forty per cent.
The governor took sharp issue wlt|j
statements by Secretary and
Gen. March. Chief of Staff, that the
Thirty-tlfth'a casualties were no
heavier than those of other divi
sions. "It should be noted that this
six-day battle was the only one in
which this division fought, while
most of the other divisions enumer
ated had been in many other j
fights." he said.1 .....
Gov. Allen saidv that the divisions
casualties during the battle lasting
six days and five nights from Sep
tember 26 to October =. were about
7.000 of whom 1,733 were dead or
missing.
Engineers In Front I*lne.
I \fter reading from orders issued
I by Maj. Gen. Peter E. Traub, who
'commanded the division. Gov. Allen
said: .
"These orders show the commen
i dation of men of the infantry who
j went forward against artillery, ma
chine guns, grenades and tanks.
| From the same orders, he showed
how the 110th Engineers had held
h position in the front line for sev
' eral days, although not supposed to
. be organized for infantry duty.
From a letter written by a lieutenant
colonel. Governor Allen read: j
i "Our artillery fire failed us and did i
not support us after the first few J
I hours. We fought the German art 11
I lery. machine guns, hand grenades.
i etc., with our service riflss only. We,
! should have been trained to fight ma- i
| terial with material."
He also read from a letter written !
by a first sergeant who wrote that the i
| artillery support was useless after the j
' first four and half hours, due to j
' lack of horses to bring up the guns. J
Most of the horses, the sergeant
wrote, were not lit for use and could
be seen dying along the road. The,
letter ulso said that the Germans j
dominated the air.
Hit l?r Own Shells.
Governor Allen laid before the com
mittee a report signed by a captain I
written at Intervals during the battle
and a cipy of which he forwarded to
his wife." through whom it became
public. That part written on Sep
tembcr 29 declared that the division
was suffering losses from its own
artillery lire, which was falling short.
It read:
"During the entire day our troops i
were continually pelted by our own I
artillery. Our own artillery was more
destructive to our men than to the
enemy. Our airplanes have been or.
little use to us in combatting enemy
planes. I have sent five different j
messages to the artillery this morn
ing to lengthen our range. It is doing
more to undermine our morale than
anything else. There is not a tele-|
phone in the organization, no signal |
flares left and we have no way to I
communicate except by runner. Our
regiment haa not more than 1,000 men i
left."
The regiment in question went in
with the full strength of 3,000, Gov
ernor Allen commented.
An official report by Lieutenant Col
onel R. C. Peck, Inspector general of
the corps of which the Thirty-flfth
! was a part, estimating that the total
shortage of horses in the division was
2.703 and declaring that ammunition
trains were practically immobile be
. cause of lack of transportation was
read by the governor.
The statement of an officer of the
137th that his regiment went in
with 2600 men and 89 officers and
came out with 1.429 men and 18
officers was repeated to the com
mittee by Governor Allen. He also
quoted Harry R. Hoffman, of Chi
cago, attached to the division's med
ical corps. On September 28, Capt.
Hoffman's statement said, a runner
was sent back with this message:
"For God's sake, send us litters,
blankets and food."
Word came back that nothing
could be done owing to lack of
transportation. At that time, ac
cording to Hoffman, there were 800
men at the dressing station. Bombs
from German airplanes were falling
about the station. Capt. Hoffman's
statement said, and the major com
manding the sanitary unit, arming
himself with a rifle taken from a
wounded man just killed by/ air
plane flre, directed others to arm
themselves similarly to flght ofT
the Germans.
Gov. Allen said very elaborate
regulations had been issued provid
ing for hip splints for wounded
men and for application of externa!
heat. "But they mifcht as well
have provided that a wounded man
should take a Turkish bath or a
Swedish massage. There were no
splints and there were no means
of applying the heat."
Wore Summer Clothing.
Governor Allen said the men had
only been provided with summer un
derwear and no overcoats, and that
many of them lay on the ground for
hours without litters.
He quoted a Capt. Tilletson as say
ing that official reports showed the
Thirty-flfth's casualties to be 42 per
cent Commenting on War Depart
ment figures indicating that casual
ties totaled only 1.733. Governor Allen
said a careful reading of the state
ment would show this incuded only
dead and missing. He quoted Capt.
Hoffman as saying that 5,000 men
passed through his dressing station
and that he believed 1,400 other men
of the division were cared for else
where.
Governor Allen furnished the com
mittee wtlh a list of possible witnes
ses. in the event the investigation is
ordered. It includes the name of
Lieut. Bennett Clark, son of Speaker
Ulutinp Clark. i

HUN BLOCKADE
WILL CONTINUE
War Trade Board's Policy
Is to Continue Plans Which
Helped Win War.
I
Continuation of the blockade
against the central powers, together
with restriction of imports to neu
trals, as as military necessity, as
well as to force Germany's accept-1
ance of whatever terms of peace may '
be Imposed, Is the War Trade Board's!
policy.
This was made known in a letter
'from Acting Chairman Clarence M.
Wool ley, of that board, to th?? Iloupe
I Interstate and Foreign Commerce
t Committee. Although the letter was
; written February 7, it was not made
, public until yesterday afternoon. It
was written in response to a reso
lution introduced in the House by
Representative Fuller, of Illinois,
asking for informat'on as to the fu
ture policy of tho War Trade Board
as to embargoes on exports to neu
tral countries.
Mr. Woolley advised the commit
tee that the armistice terms provide
for a continuation of the existing
blockade against Germany, which, he
explained, was maintained during
the war by permitting border neu
trals to have only sufficient quanti
ties of commodities as would meet
their pressing needs. He speclfl- j
; cally mentioned Norway, Sweden, j
Denmark and Holland.

Japan plans for the establishment

Brazilian government has griven a
large Tokyo development company
authority to engage in "emigration

The company's capital stock Is
$4,482,000 and it will operate in

750 MILLIONS
IN RAIL FUND
House Appropriations Com
mittee Approves Budget
Urged by Hines.
Favorable report on the bill ap
propriating 1750.000 000 for the
Railroad Administration's revolving
fund waa made by the House Appro
priations Committee yesterday.
This addition to the $r?00.000.000
revolving: fund created last year
was asked recently by Director
I General Hines. An effort will be
made to speed the bill through the
present Congress, although it only
serves to Increase the present con
gestion of the calendar.
J Almost simultaneously, the House
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee decided to abandon con
templated hearings on the bill ex
tending Federal control of the rail
roads for five years, as recommend
ed by former Director General Mc
Adoo. The committee decided there
wasn't time for the present Con
j gress to dispose of the question.
, and that hearings by the commlt
j tee would be so much wasted ef
fort.
Hearings have been in progress
before the Senate Interstate Com
merce committee for several weeks,
but It hasn't as yet prepared any
recommendations and isn't likely to
recommend any permanent solution
of the railroad problem, because of
the short time remaining.
