M'"' "T ?J McAdoo Tells Railway Men They 'v'- Are Working for Their Country PLEADS FOR PATRIOTISM Declares They Can Make it Pos sibie to Lick Kaiser Ten Times Quicker Washington. D. C., July 24.—The following address was made by Di rfefctor General McAdoo of railroads to the railroad ship-workers at Wash ington, D. C. "Ladies and gentlemen, fellow rail road workers: „"I wish I could make a speech to you but 1 over strained my voice in three Liberty loan campaigns, and doctors have forbidden me to make any speeches for a short time but 1 do wa^t to tell you and the be asso ciated with you in doing a very great work fdr our country. "To us railroad men has been as signed one of the biggest parts in this war. It depends on us whether or not the kaiser will be licked ten times as quickly as he otherwise will lie. I know that we are going to lick hint ten times as quickly because the railroad men of the United States are going to do their duty to Uncle Sapi. "You are all Uncle Sam's servants now—no private interests control the railroads any more. Uncle Sam is in command, and he has his hand on teh throttle. He is running the rail roads and you are going to help him. You are going to help him make a success of it. I want to give you all just and fair treatment as I know we are all servants of the American peo ple. You and I alike, and it depends upon the way we discharge our re sponsibilities, whether or not the American people are going to treat us right. "The strength of our position must always reist upon our opinion. What I do for you from time to time must Tie done with reference to what is just, not alone to you, but to the pub lic who have got to pay the bill. 1 want to give you a square deal, but the public wants to give a square deal as well. (ju State Canvassing Board May Be tjnable to Do Its Duty Tomorrow While under the law tomorrow is *the last date upon which the state .canvassing board may meet to canvass the results of the recent primaries, which must be officially registered not more than thirty days following the date of election, Secretary of State Hall today still lacked official reports from Morton and Mountrail counties. The official reports from Emmons, Nelson and Williams county came in only this afternoon. Thurs day was the date set for the meeting of the state canvassing board. If Morton and Mountrail have not turn ed in their reports by this time the canvassing board will order an in quiry into the reason for this delay. Ordinarily, unofficial reports ares re ceived ten days to two weeks in ad vance of the official. This year, how ever, not more than two thirds of the county auditors have filed their un official reports with the secretary o: state, and the usual unofficial tabula tion is not available. No contests are ,iBO close that the official canvass is expected to make any change in the result, but these statistics always are sought by those politically wise as a means of figuring out the dope. In dications are that this year there will be considerable figuring. County canvassing boards are re quired by law to meet on the 16th of the month to canvass the result. GROSFFRAUDIN ARMY CONTRACT IS UNCOVERED Washington, July 24.—Fraud and gross profiteering has been uncovered in many contracts for army shoes, shirts, leggings, and other soldiers' supplies and equipment as a result of the investigation by army intelli g$nce and department of justice qgents, it was learned today. Information shedding.light on meth ods by which manufacturers were able .to evade rigid inspection tests and pass inferior articles to fill govern ment contracts is understood to have been gathered from some of the con fessions 6f some of the eighteen rain coat manufacturers under arrest in New York, on bribery, fraud or con spiracy charges. Action will be taken against other manufacturers as rapidly as specific proof of fraud is developed, it was said. Officials plan to give publicity to the tactics. The reason for this, it was explained, is that the govern ment agents have evidence of irregu larity and profiteering in hundreds of contacts without the substantia tion "of proof on which conviction might be based. 1 1 K'J HUV W.

By PAUL PURMAN. "Waterloo was won ou the football fields of Eaton." this was the Duke of Wellington's comment after the defeat of Napoleon' and never has its truth been realized so much as in the present war. British, Canadian and Australian sol diers, the greater part of wtiom had been athletes, soon proved that man for man they were better than Ger man soldiery. American troops have proved the value of athletic training. When America first entered the war elaborate preparations were made for athletic activities in cantonments and this has been successfully carried through by the commisison on train ing camp activities, headed by Dr. Jo seph E. Raychroft. The value of athletics in developing our soldiers into two-fisted fighting men has been attested by command ing officers at many camps in state- RUBY Reuter of Dickinson But One Point Below Thomas B.

July 24 —The state council of defense, representatives of farm organizations, federal govern- rnents made to the commission. The opinions follow:. Major General Charles H.

P. Blockson, 34th Division, Camp Cody, N. M., says: "Athletics develop initiative, agility, co-ordination, aggressiveness and en durance. Added to this, they teach quick, accurate thinking under stress." Brigadier General W. H. Sage, 38th ^Division, Camp Shelby, Miss., says:, "In my mind the importance of ath letics In the army is secondary in ment officials and a committee 'of the Montana State Association of Credit Men are in joint conference here to day, at the call of Governor Sam "V. Stewart. They are considering fed eral aid for those farmers whose crop's have either been^ ruined or have yielded so poorly that they will require assistance to tide them over the year. Governor Stewart is ex-of ficio chairman of the council. Hon. Chas. D. Greenfield, state com missioner of agriculture, has been communicating with county farm bu reaus and county agricultural agents. He has collected a mass of data for the conference, which probably will not conclude its deliberations until tonight. It is thought that a government ap propriation will be sought through the Montana congressional delega tion. It happens that the sections "of the state where crops were poor this summer, some even being absolutely burned out, Are /the same which suf fered a like fate last year.
