TRANSPORTING A MILLION MEN, OH. WOMAN !
PART OF RAILWAYS' BIG TASK
THE aim oct daily passage through 1 Paso of drafted
men on trains frem Arizona and New Mexico to can
tonments in tie sooth or middle west brings close
10 home the fact that the railroads of the country are now
engaged in their greatest work, the movement of 1,000,000
troops in a month's time without distnrbing the regular
course of traffic
About one-third of these troops are national guards
men, carrying their equipment with them. The rest are
the drafted men, together with such units of the regal
crav z are under orders to proceed from their present !
nous to various destinations. The national guard more--nent
means, is addition to the usual passenger train
eamrraent. the use of about 1E.000 freight cars.
The movement of the draft began September 5 when
35.000 men were sent to the cantonments. In the second
movement, September 19 to 23, 275,000 men will be sent to
-antonments. This is 40 percent of the 687,000 total. An
other 40 percent will go between October 3 and 7, and the
remainder, a boat 103,000, will be entrained, Beginning uc-
tober 19.
The task is made greater for the railroads by reason of
tie fact, which they now have reason to regret, that in zt
cent years the railroads have not bour'it as many loco
motives and cars as they should havi. done. Because of
hat they considered unreasonable regulation, which kept
them from increasing freight rates, they economized at the
expense of trackage and rolling stoejc.
Now, in addition to moving the regulars, national guard
and their equipment and the drafted men of the national
army, and in addition to keeping the normal passenger and
freight traffic moving also, the railroads are called upon to
move the crops of the country. The wheat crop is already
going from producing points into elevators, utntr grains
are alto moving. The lumber shipments are enormous.
Cotton is beginning to be shipped. The transportation of
fuel cannot be interrupted for a day and the railroads are
now transporting from the mines about 6,000,000 tons of
coal a month more than they ever earned before.
There is a further handicap in that many railroad enr
Dloyes in the operating departments, conductors, engineers.
brakemen, switchmen and freight handlers have either
volunteered for service with the engineer regiments or have
been drafted into the army. This necessitates rapid read
jestments by promoting other employes and taking in new
men at the bottom of the organization.
Engaged in this great task of transportation, the rail
roads have 1,750,000 men in the operating department, all
of them concentrating on the task of moving the troops,
equipment, civilian passengers and freight of all kinds on
tune. This achievement will be one of the larger events or
the war, worthy of the best and greatest organization of
railroads in the world.

Sweden's "Neutrality"
THE revelation of Sweden's sympathy with Germany,
as exposed by the transmission of several decidedly
belligerent dispatches from the German charge
d'affaires in Buenos Aires to the foreign office at Berlin
as part of the Swedish diplomatic correspondence from
Argentina, has startled the world. It has shown how a
supposed neutral may, for a time, tacitly aid a belligerent
and escape detection.
The explanation of the Swedish foreign office that the
Swedish minister at Buenos Aires was unaware of the
character of the messages sent through the Swedish lega
tion is unsatisfactory. The fact that the messages were
in the German diplomatic code is not a mitigating circum
stance, for it should have been the duty of the Swedish
minister to require from count Luxburg a certified tranrla
tion of the dispatches, to be read in confidence, of course.
Luxburg, had he been unwilling to furnish such a transla
tion, could not reasonably have expected the Swedish gov
ernment to grant him the courtesy of providing transmis
sion for his dispatches.
Luxburg might have lied to the Swedish minister about
the dispatches and probably would have done so, had the
latter made inquiry as to their character, but in that event
no blame could have attached to Sweden.
To all appearances, the Swedish minister granted Lux
burg carte blanche to send as Swedish diplomatic messages
whatever he chose and made no inquiry. This fact, to
gether with the nature of the Luxburg dispatches, consti
tutes on the part ot the bwedish minister a grave breach of
neutrality.
Nor is the Swedish government less culpable than its
representative in Argentina, for the offensive dispatches
were consigned to the loreign oilice at Stockholm and
thence redirected to Berlin. The Swedish foreign ministry
itself, then, became an active participant in the breach of
neutrality.
The Swedish government, by actively assisting these dis
patches in reaching tne Berlin foreign office, became party
to tne suggestion ot count Luxburg that Argentine ships
and their crews be destroyed "without leaving a trace." as
murderously cold blooded a proposal as ever was made.
If Sweden has no guarantee to offer as to the fatore,
it will be very well for the United States cot to listen to
any pleas from the Swedish mission for lifting the embargo
on supplies to that country. If so eager to aid Germany
in war, let Sweden look to Germany for food and other
materials.
Taking a phrase from the message of the German charee
in Argentina, it is hereby suggested that the German gov
ernment be "sunk without leaving a trace."

worth while. The children did much

the work with the children was the
heaviest work we did at the library.
It is remarkable what good taste the
children are acquiring in reading and
how eager they are to have the libra

"While we have not completed our

i "The business men of 1 Paso
I should put their shoulders to the
I wheel and plan now to secure trade
1 extension in Mexico, as Edgar Kayser
' has well said." stated Roscoe Fort,
i "El Paso is the principal port of en
try to Mexico and there have been
more products exported through this
port than any other, not excepting La
redo. From experience I have had
! with prominent Mexican merchants.
they are anxious to extend their trade
relations with the United States. This
has also been the sense ot the Juarez
chamber of commerce, which has ex
tended its bands across the Rio
Grande to the business men of this
city. El Paso business men can build
lip a wonderful trade in Mexico and
now is the time to do it."
"The cannery at Ysleta will develop
into one of El Paso county's big in
dustries In a few years," said George
PendelL "With a growing confidence
on the part of the farmers and an in
creasing acreage in tomatoes, it can
not help but succeed. Inasmuch as it
has the advantage of eastern can
neries by not havinir the 2140 a car
freight rate to pay, it can market its
product locally at great profit. As it
is, it is selling many carloads of
canned tomatoes to points in El Paso's
trade territory."
"The fact that the Dona Ana county
farm bureau is issuing a list of rules
ana regulations governing tne corn
growing contest which is to be con
ducted throughout the county next
year, prompts me to say something
which has been on my mind for some
time," said J. D. Foster. "Why aren't
more corn and potatoes grown In this
country of ours instead of so much
iana oeing devoted to raising oranges,
lemons and cucumbers, whica not onlv
require special attention, but are of
practically no nutritive value, and not
nearly so productive as tne staples I
have just mentioned. I know there
are plenty of people who would say
that this is a purely utilitarian point
of view, and that we need desserts
and appetizers in our dietary as we
neea variety and trills in our areas:
but there would be less need of talk
about food conservation, in my opin
ion, if more men and more land were
devoted to raising staples that pro
duce quickly and abundantly instead
of spending so much time and effort
on mere palate ticklers."

He Is Grosvenor Clarkson, secretary
of the council of national defence. He
is the Adonis of all of America's war
makers.
SUU a man of youth. Clarkson car
ries urKin bis shoulders great burdens,
and his face betrays the fact In the
street he walks, always with a fur
rowed brow, deep in thought. In his
office he is found most frequently, si
lent and thoughtful. When he came
to Washington at was a young man.
Under the pressure of war work he is
rapidly growing old.
The career of Clarkson has been a
varied one. He came originally from
Des Moines, la-, where he was en
gaged in newspaper work. He heard

Leities. however. He wanted to work
and mingle wltn the rushing throngs
of America's metropolis, and he went
to New York.
Clarkson fitted in with the hustle
and the bustle of New York, for
Clarkson was a hustler. He went Into
the advertising business and made a
name for himself as a man "with a
punch." a man who could put any
thing acrow. Then there came the
great American movement for pre
paredness. Those who were financing
the movement saw in Clarkson a man
who could appeal to the American
people in a manner which would at
tract them. Clarkson became the
publicity man behind the movement.
When the war came Clarkson was
taken into the council of national de
fence. His work of publicity ceased,
but today he is one of the greatest
exponents of publicity in the entire
war administration. "Let the people
know what you are doing?" is Clark
son's continual cry
As secretary of the council of na
tional defence, he rinds himself with
the sturdy task of handling the en
thusiastic spirit of thousands of
Americans who want to help. He is
a sort of official buffer the man who

Every moment of the day Clarkson
Is available. To him come appeals

man who has at his fingertips the

and things that makes It possible for
him to always recommend the right

The burden of his work is showing

stops the flow of mirth by preaching trouble and despair, who says that every
thing on earth is but a pitfall and a snare. He sees the ring around the moon,
when other men the moon behold, and says a storm will come full soon, with
hail and sleet and bitter cold. He sees the sundogs standing guard, when other
Ben behold the sun, and says well all be frozen hard before the current week is

deeps; he's only happy when he frets, he's only joyous when he weeps. It
-would be no concern of mine, if be would nurse his grouch alone; but publicly
he weeps his brine, and heaves his deep, heart rending groan. And in these

Few are good listeners. First of at',
we do not concentrate: secondly, and
sadly, we do not react intelligen:ly
to what we hear; and, finally. e
make no particular effort to grasp,
analyze, or remember. To listen in
telligently is to get your cues from
life. Tou can pick up all sorts of
splendid ideas by listening to what
the other chap has to say.
Recently a crowd was discussing a
brilliant writer whom no one in the
party liked. I had expressed a desire
to meet her. for it seemed that one
who had such a clear grasp of human
characteristics must be a marvelously
interesting young woman.
"Oh, you won't like her:" said one
of the girls. "She never gives any
thing. She draws you out and gets
your ideas and never gives you one of
her own. She isn't a bit of fun."
Well, probably the young woman in
question does not contribute much to
a social afternoon. But she must get
a great deal from one.
Listening is not a mere trick of the
ears. Listening in the highest sense
means observing, noting and making
deductions from voice and manner as
well as from words.
Most people are well worth study
ing. If a woman has no more to sav
than "How are you feeling today?"
the clever observer notes a nasal
twang and places it New England, or
possibly Indiana.
"No one can lie to John Harrison."
said a man to me recently. "Tou
look him straight in the eye and tell
him a perfectly good yarn, thinking
you are getting away with It and.
by Jove, Johnny grins good naturedly
and picks you up. Ifs magic. 1
don't know how he does It."
"He listens carefully." I suggested.
"Listens, nothing! I've been in the
room when lie's detected some man in
a fake. I've been listening, too
listening hard and I haven't been
wise to the vulnerable point in the
story-"
"Do you listen with vour eyes, and
your heart, and souL and mind?" I
asked.
The Mxth Sene.
"Don't give us any of that ideal- '
istlc bunk. I listen with my ears,
like any other sensible citizen. John

"No. T think he only uses the on-s !
he has and uses them all all of the!
lime. If you re so busy drinking with
your ears that your eves don't notice
a quiver of sensitive nostrils or a
flicker In otherwise steady eyes, you
aren't really listening." I began.
"When you say 'listen you mean
observe." retorted the man In superior
man fashion.
And let him have the last word, for
when I say "listen" 1 do mean "ob
serve" Tbe only way to meet the problem-)
of life and the interplay of person
ality' or personality is to observe the
quality of a man's voice when he is
speaking, the expression of his eyes,

HAT lies at the heart of the
Taegliche Illinois Staatsaei
tung. of Chicago, is discov
ered in the following comment:
"In the Balkans there are devel
opments which are purposedly
kept secret. But the flames of
the great fire which destroyed
half of Salonica and destroyed
the homes of 80.000 people throw
Kght on the darkness which the
censors try to spread over this
theater of the war. It seems that
Sa rrail's army is being with
drawn from this territory, that
the protection of the rearguard
is left to the followers of Veni
xeloa. and that the torch has been
applied to Salonica. which thus
shared the same fate with other
cities whose investment by the
enemy was imminent. And the
giving up of the Balkans by the
entente will compel Italy to re
linquish her hopes to get a foot
bold oa the other side of the
Adriatic."
The same paper contends that this
country is about as reactionary as
Prussianised Germany. Witness the
experiences of the people's peace
council. It says:
"We don't want to discuss
whether it was wise to forbid the
people's peace council holding a
mass meeting at Minneapolis, but
we do want to state that the much
criticised word verboten (forbid-
not a monopoly of the
government since long
den) is
German
ago.''
An editorial under the caption
"With Unflinching Loyalty" in the
same paper reads in part as follows:
Conalders Loyalty -"Matter of Course."
"We admit that the German
press in this country has ab
stained from using the same ex
pedients which the other news
papers have resorted to to arouse
I the readers. But only for the
reason that German-Americans
consider the loyal performance of
tne duties owed to the Lnited
States as a matter of course.
When the call to arms is issued
the German-American conforms
to it without delay or resistance.
He does not claim exemption." . . .
Nevertheless, nearly all the German
printed papers protest against their
Lands leute (German-Americans) be
ing seat to Europe. The Detroiter
Abendpoat. for instance, complains:
"A citizen of this country must
fight against Germany no matter
whether he was born there or his
brothers and cousins belong to
the German array, says a decision
of the Detroit exemption board
Ways and means could be found
to employ such men elsewhere.
... If that cannot be attained,
where Is the much praised hu
manity of the American govern
ment?" The Detroiter Abendpost openly an
nounced that it- was eager for Ger
man victory. This paper printed on
its first page a cartoon under the
caption. "Glad Tidings?" The picture
shows an angel carry inc tbe dove of
peace on his left hand and knocking
at the door of a hut with the inscrip
tion "Allies." England. Italy and
France are holding the door back to
prevent tbe angel of peaee from en
tering, while Uncle Sam Is putting up
his shirt sleeves to take part m hold
ing back the peace angel. The car
toon la explained by a poem, the last
stanza of which reads:
"Dear little dove, fly away:
Take along my compliments and a
kiss.
Tell the Pope England does not wan:

Because she must get whipped be
fore." Only One of Many Examples.
This la only one of tbe manv ex

by no manner ot means result in a

results, i. e.. perpetuation of a variety

in your issue of September C (a dis
patch in The Herald from Scranton,
Pa., stated that a man had discov

on the same vine), the result would
be that the seeds next vear from the

This tomato grafting on a potato
stock has been bobbing up every few
years for a full generation or more,
and. while It looks like a wonderful
accomplishment, it can never be of
any practical value, as tomatoes can

grafting accomplishes, a small and
