N©. 406 BREWING OPERATIONS T0 STOP DECEMBER I AS WAR MEASURE FOOD ADMINISTRATION STATES PRESIDENT CONSULTED ON ACTION and Railroad Adminis- trations and War Industries Board Agree on the Necessity for Cessa- ; Hon of Malting Processes. On July & brewers were notified by the Buel Administration that their coaj eon- sumptien would be reduced by 50 per cent, pending the period of exhaustion of materials that they had in process, and were given preliminary warning that they might not be able to continue their operations at ail after such exhaustion. At that time the Food Administration di- rected fee cessation of further purchases of raw materials for malting. Brewing to Stop December 1. After conference between the President and representatives of the Fuel, Food, and Railroad Administrations and the War Industries Board it has been deter- mined that the further necessity of war industries for the whole fuel productive capacity of the country, the considerable drought / which has materially affected tie supply of feeding^stuff for next year, the strain upon transportation to handle necessary industries, the shortage of la- bor, caused by enlargement" of the Army operations, render It necessary that brewing operations of all kinds should cease upon December 1, until further or- ders, and that no further unmalted grains be purchased for brewing purposes from this date. The Food Administration has been directed to issue the necessary regu- lations to this end. In addition to the above, these admin- istrations wish to warn the manufactur- ers of' all beverages and^ mineral waters that for the same reasons there will be further great curtailment in fuel for the manufacture of glass containers, of tin plate, for caps, of transportation, and of food products in such beverages. War-Savings Stamp Sales Pass $8G0,6G0S000 Mark Including cash received in the Treasury Department yesterday from the. sale of war-savings securities, the, total Treas- ury receipts from this source amounted to $669,566,335.07, this representing the purchase of war-savings stamps to the total. maturity value of approximately $804,766,985. The Mount Vernon, Formerly German Ship Ceeelie, on Way to America When Struck, Secretary Daniels announced yester- day that he had received a dispatch stat- ing that the U. S. S. Mount Vernon wai struck by a torpedo Thursday while on the return voyage about 200 miles from the coast of France, but returned to port under its own steam. There was no mention of any casualties in the dispatch, nor did it state how badly the vessel was damaged, but it is supposed that the dam- age is not very serious, as the ship made its way back at a speed oP 14 knots an hour. The Monint Vernon was formerly the German steamship Kronprinzessin Ce- eelie, which was interned in American waters, and when this country entered the war was taken over by the Govern- ment and converted into a troop trans- port, She has a gross tonnage of 18,372 tons. The Mount Vernon is commanded by Capt. Douglas F. Dismukes. The vessel had landed the troops-she carried over- seas and was returning when torpedoed. DRIFT EXECUTIVES ARE ASKED TO REPORT OS HELP REQUIRED The War Department authorizes the following from the office of the Provost Marshal General: Draft executives of the various States have been asked by telegraph from this office immediately to survey the situation in their respective States with a view to recommending to the Provost Marshal General in what communities, if any, the membership of local and district boards, should be increased to insure expedi- tious handling of the registration and classification of new registrants under the extension #of the draft ages. Prompt re- plies have been requested in order that all boards may be so organized as to pro- ceed without delay. United Fruit Steamer Is Sunk in Collision The Navy Department is informed that the steamship Almirante was sunk in collision with the U. S. 3. Eisko, which, after picking up survivors of the Almirante, was reported proceeding \to port. The Almirante was a United Fruit Company steamer of about 5,000 tons. K - v50335 ALUS ONLY TEN MILES FROM HINDENBURG LINE AT THE FARTHEST POINT TELLS OF CASUALTIES Gen. Pershing Reports That Up to August 20 There Were 20,000 Casualties Me Had Not Reported—Were Listed as Light—More Than 90 Per Cent of U. S. Forces are in the Ameri- can Sectors. Press interview by Gen. March, Sep- tember 7, 1918: Since last Wednesday the allied line has gone forward on a wide front. Tlio .retreat of the enemy has been general along a front of 100 miles, from the Ar- ras-Cambrai sector to Rheims. Addi- tional ground has also been yielded to the allies on the Flanders front. The pressure which forced this retreat came at two points: (1) British front between Arras and Peronne, and (2) Franco* American sector on plateau of Soissons. The British drive toward Cambrai paused on the line of the La Sense© marshes northwest of Cambrai and the Canal du Nord, where the enemy appar- ently organized his defenses. Beyond, this canal Cambrai is only 7 miles away. The terrain consists of low hills, with no natural obstacles to a further advance. The British, however, crossed the canal farther south, and also the Somme River, both north and south of Peronne, and advanced rapidly during Thursday and Friday toward the Hiri- denburg line north of St. Quentin, Advance of the French. The advance of the French in the Noyon sector, which began last Wednes- day when they captured the greater part of the Autrecourt Plateau, northeast of Noyon, spread on the following days, un- til it merged with the British advance on the north, and with the French advance in the Soissons region and along the Vesle. Last night the allies were only 8 mHes from St. Quentin, and the Hindenburg line is only 10 miles away at the farthest ' point. ^ ' The Franco-American drive across the2 THE OFFICIAL U. S.

Our al- lied forces crossed the Vesle-Aisne ridge and reached the Aisne River on a 10-mile front last night. Beg-ain Belgian Soil. In Flanders, a little more ground, mainly Belgium soil, north of Armen- tieres, has been reoccupied by the allies. Our 27th Division, which I was asked about last Wednesday, is reported on the line in, Flanders. Our 92nd Division, about which I was asked, is now on the line in the Vosges. The steady withdrawal of the Ger- mans under pressure of bur forces, has now forced them to a point over 60 miles from Paris, as compared with less than 40 miles in July. In Siberia official reports indicate that conditions with reference to the release of the Czechs are becoming very much more favorable. Ozecho-Siovak forces working eastward from Lake Baikal and Cossack forces, supported by Japanese, who have come up from China, working westward from Manchuria, have driven out the enemy f6rce which has long held the middle section of the Siberian Rail- road near Chita and cleared the road to Vladivostok, Three ITew Divisions. Referring to oar own forces, I have authorized the organization of 3 new' American divisions, making 15 in all since July 1. These divisions will be numbered 95th, 96th, and 97th, and will be organized at Camps Sherman, Wads- worth, and Cody, the 95th at Sherman, the 96 th at Wads worth, and the 97 th at Cody. 'There has been some discussion in the United States about our casualty lists, and the War Department has been try- ing to get in touch with the exact condi- tion of casualties in France, because we have heard from a number of sources of relatives at home receiving the infor- mation direct from their people in France of men being wounded when the War De- partment had not notified the relatives at home. At an early stage in the report- ing of casualty lists, General 'Pershing asked for authority not to report slight casualties, because the men would be back on the firing line before the report, after investigation, could reach the United States. It was thought then that it would simplify matters and , prevent needless worry to relatives if that system were adopted. Of course, it is very well under- stood that the opinion of a man who has been wounded may differ materially from the opinion of the doctors as to its se- verity, and undoubtedly a great many men have written home telling about wounds that the doctors had pronounced light, and which Pershing had listed as not being severe, when theletters might Indicate to the people at home that they were severe. So I have gotten a report from Gen. Pershing as to the number of those casualties, in addition to those which he has published, so as to be able to give the facts to the American people. I am giving the facts to the people be- cause: I know they will face any casualty list with determination and courage, whatever it is. Gen. Pershing reports that up 'to Au- gust 20/ there were 20,000 casualties CANE SUGAR PRICE FIXED BY EQUALIZATION BOARD Nine Cents Made Basis for Next Year, Less 2 Per Cent at Shipping Points. The Food Administration issues the fol- lowing: The Sugar Equalization Board has, upon the approval of the President, fixed the price of cane sugar for next year basis, granulated, 9 cents, less 2 per cent f. o. b. seaboard refining* points, effective on Monday morning, Septem- ber 9. Wholesalers and retailers will sell upon the old basis until their stocks of the lower-priced sugars are exhausted. No averaging of price will be'allowed. All increase in price of sugar in the hands of refiners or of raw s\igar under contract is to be accounted for to the Sugar Equalization Board, so that manu- facturers will not benefit by the increased price. A price for beet pulp, wet and dry, will be fixed by the Food Administration, in the interest of cattle feeders, in the course of a few days. which he had not reported, which were listed by doctors as light—men who have gone to hospitals and gone back to the line and that sort of thing; but in order to meet what I think to be the just de- mands of the people at home for informa- tion about their relatives in France, I am going to have Gen. Pershing forward by courier to us here the entire hospital rec- ords of the American Expeditionary Forces, giving all casualties, no matter if a man is in&d hospital only a day, with a medical diagnosis of each case, and then I propose to put in the hands of relatives, after the arrival of the first courier with such records, a statement of the diagnosis. We will then suspend on the part of Gen. Pershing any report of wounded. He will report deaths, missing, and such major casualties, and the War Depart- ment will start in with the arrival of the first courier to give out all Information about casualties. duesti0iis-.asid Answers. Q. Where is the 380th Infantry? A. The 330th Infantry (of 83d Divi- sion) is in France; not on line. Q, It is rei>orted in Springfield, Mass., that the 104th Infantry is being brought back to the United States. Will you be kind enough to confirm or deny? , A. The report is denied. It is not go- ing to be brought back. Q. Has the 89th Division been called Into action, and if so, can it be stated to what extent it has been engaged and where? A. The 89th Division is in the line north of Toul since the middle of August, and, of course, there has been daily ex- change of artillery fire along that line with the enemy. Q. The Associated Press carries a story intimating strongly that German pris- oners will be brought back to this country. May I be informed if such a thing is con- tempi at ed? A. The question of German-prisoners, m toto, is going to be considered by a COCOA 1MNDFACTUREHS ASH TO USE NO imi, CONTAINERS Chocolate and cocoa manufacturers have signified their willingness to effect substantial savings in *tin and steel by packing their products in containers made of other material, as set forth in resolutions adopted by the Committee of Cocoa Bean Grinders and Consumers, in conference with the Food Administration. Manufacturers will adopt new contain- ers not made of tin or any other metal as soon as present stocks are used up, which must not exceed a period of five-months at most, according to the resolutions. These containers will be square or oblong, instead of round, to save packing space. Size of Packages Ecgulated. It was further recommended that cocoa and chocolate, sweetened or unsweetened, in powdered form, shall be put up in packages not smaller than one half pound, or in packages of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 pounds, and barrels and cases. This eliminates certain sizes and will effect a saving of labor and material. The committee requested that all cocoa and chocolate manufacturers in the coun- try be notified by the- Food Administra- tion of its action. The following were at the conference: H. C» Gallagher, II.

In reply to further question: In the American sectors in France there are over 90 per cent of the Aineri- 1 can forces. Our American troops in Italy have not as yet been put on the firing line. The custom of training a number of our divisions by brigading them with the British is still going on, but as our men go over there now pretty well instructed, the time they stay in the training camps over , there is very much less.THE OFFICIAL U.

C., CAMP DUE TO LACK OF PROPER WATER Wells Dug io Augment Supply From City Mains Found to be Polluted—Eighteen Deaths Out of 177 Cases in August. The War Department authorizes th8 following: Due to the lack of proper water facili- ties, typhoid fever broke out at the alien enemy internment camp at Hot Springs, N.. O., early in August. Out of the 177 cases, 18 have died. All the patients have been removed to Army General Hos- pital No. 12, at Biltmore, N. O. All re- maining prisoners have been removed to the internment camp at Fort Oglethorpe. The Hot Springs camp was turned over to the Army on July 1 for the purpose of transferring all prisoners to the prison camp at Fort Oglethorpe. This camp was instituted by the Department of Labor, and its occupants were mostly seamen removed from interned German ships which were seized at the outbreak of the war. First Report August 4. The first report of typhoid at the camp- was received in a telegram from the camp surgeon to the Surgeon General's office on August 4. Nine cases and thirty-sis suspected cases and one death were re- ported. Surgeon General Gorgas sent an ' inspector to the camp and a thorough in- vestigation of the sanitary and water fa- cilities was begun August 7. The inspector found that the internment station had been divided into two camps, A and B. There were 1,000 prisoners In Gamp A and 1,127 in Camp B. All the cases developed from Camp B. The entire camp received its main wa- ter supply from the city of Hot Springs. The source of this supply being mountain springs, the quality of the water is good, but towing to the fact that the camp had been overcrowded, it had been necessary to augment the water supply by the con- struction of service Xvells in Camp B. These service wells were intended to care -for the toilets and baths in this part of the camp. The prisoners had been in- structed not to make use of this water for anything except bathing purposes and flushing toilets. As a further safeguard a chlorine apparatus was installed to purify the w^ter. ^ Wells Found. Contaminated. ^ The inspector from the Medical Depart- ment found these wells to be shallow* and te/sts proved that the water was contami- nated. His investigations showed that the facilities for caring for the sick were "primitive" and he.recommended that ail the sick be transferred to the Army Gen- eral Hospital at Biltmore. Pehdiiig the removal of the men to the hospital at Bilt- more, hospital facilities were borrowed from the General Hospital. Following the recommendation of the inspector, the prisoners were inoculated against typhoid fever.

Tomlinson as Director of the Division of Inland Wa- terways of the United States Railroad Administration. The new division will be on an equal plane with the other principal divisions of the Railroad Ad- ministration. Under..Mr. Tomlinson's general direction will be the Erie Canal, the Delaware Raritan Canal, the Cape Cod Canal," the Mississippi & War- rior Waterways, and any other inland waterways which may be taken under the control of the Railroad Administra- tion In the future. ^ Mr. Tomlinson at the present time is Federal manager of New York and New Jersey canals under the Railroad Ad- ministration, and also had been a mem- ber of the Inland Waterways Committee. The position of Federal manager of New York and New Jersey canals previ- ously held by him will be filled in the near future. Thanks Waterways Committee. The Director General called into con- ference to-day the members of the In- land Waterways Committee, headed by Maj. Gen. W. M. Black, which he ap- pointed on February 16, 1918, and thanked them for their splendid work. He informed the members of the com- mittee that since it had performed the work for which it was created, he had decided to relieve it of its duties and place the administrative supervision of the inland waterways under the control of the Railroad Administration, under the direction of Mr. Tomlinson. The In- land Waterways Committee has investi- gated a number of projects on which it has reported to the Director General. In a number of instances these recommen- dations have been adopted by him and are now in effect. The Director General expressed particular appreciation of the conscientious manner in which the mem- bers of the committee performed their duties. geon was directed to increase the amount of chlorine added to the water from .3 of a part per million to at ledst 4 parts per million. Overcrowding of Camp. The overcrowding.of the,camp had cur- tailed the efficiency of the sanitary ar- rangements originally provided for the health of tlie prisoners. The old Hot Springs Hotel with a capacity of 500 was used to house a great many of the pris- oners in Camp A. Cantonment barracks accommodated the remainder in this sec- tioif. In Camp B. the barracks were found by the medical inspector to be about 100 per cent overcrowded. He also found that owing to the vast amount of clothing and baggage housed in the can- tonments, the ventilation in the barracks was very poor. The general rules of sanitation had been followed.

BULLETIN: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918. 5 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONGRESS BRIEFLY TOLD SENATE. After many clays of debate the Senate late yesterday evening passed the agricul- tural' extension bill, carrying appropria- tions amounting to $12,000,000 and a war- time prohibition amendment, without a roll call. Before final action a vote was taken on the prohibition amendment and It was retained in the measure by a vote of 45 to 6. The Senators who voted against the prohibition amendment were Brandegee, of Connecticut; Gerry, of Rhode Island; Phelan, of California; Pomerene, of Ohio; Ransdell, of Louisi- ana ; and Underwood, of Alabama. All efforts to amend or modify the prohibition amendment were of no avail. A proposal of Senator Phelan to extend to December 81, 1919, the date when it becomes opera- tive was rejected, as was also an amend- ment that a commission should be ap- pointed to appraise the value of distilled liquors in bond and have the Government take them over at cost. Under the measure as adopted the sale of intoxicating liquors of all kinds will be absolutely prohibited after June 30, 1919, for the duration of the war and until the period of demobilization has ended. On and after May 1, 1919, the manufacture of beer and wine will be prohibited. The bill already has passed the House, and It probably will be sent to conference by that body as soon as it is received. Draft " Eai&s " Discussed. The Smoot resolution for an investiga- tion of the " slacker " draft raids, which was called up yesterday afternoon, was the vehicle for extended discussion. At the close of the morning hour the resolu- tion was automatically sent to the calen- dar. Senator Smoot intimated that he might move to take it up again on Mon- day, to which day the Senate adjourned. Another discussion of the recent report of the Federal Trade Commission on the packing industry occupied a considerable part of the session. Senators Borah, of Idaho, and Cummins, of Iowa, defended the report of the commission, while Sen- ator Sherman, of Illinois, resumed his previous attack on the commission. Sen- ator Borah argued that the commission had acted only under such authority as Congress had conferred upon it. Transfer of War Workers, - Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Colo- rado, introduced, and the Senate adopted, a resolution requesting the President to transfer as many of the war workers as possible to other cities as a means of re- lieving the crowded housing conditions in the National Capital. Declaring the Army and Navy officers were being " robbed " by tailors in the matter of uniforms, Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, introduced an amendment to the war revenue bill exempting all such offi- cers from the income tax provisions so far as their compensation from the Gov- ernment was concerned. Protesting against the proposed tax of 1 per cent, on the business of mail order houses, G. H. Eiswald, of New York, ar- gued before the Finance Committee yes- terday that such a tax would increase the cost of living to a large number of people living in rural communities. He said the tax was discriminatory against one class of business that makes use of the mails to obtain its orders and admitted that the tax would be passed on to the con- sumer. John Hinkley, of Baltimore, talk- ing for members of stock exchanges, boards of trade, and chambers of com- merce, protested against taxes levied on annual dues and the value of stock ex- change seats. Commissions for Osteopathic Physicians. A bill was introduced by Senator Dil- lingham, of Vermont, providing that os- teopathic physicians who are properly qualified shall be eligible for commissions in the medical branch of the Army/ Nominations sent to the Senate yester- day included the following: Claude R. Porter, of Iowa, to be assistant attorney general; William S. Edings, of Honolulu, to be associate justice of the supreme court of Hawaii; and John T. De Bolt, of Honolulu, to be second judge of the first Hawaiian Federal circuit court; Jobn F. Short, of Pennsylvania, to be United States marshal for the western district of Pennsylvania. Consideration of the joint resolution temporarily suspending the immigration laws so as to permit the admission of war refugees was prevented yesterday by ob- jection from both Republicans and Demo- crats. It was asserted that the resolu- tion was not sufficiently specific. HOUSE.; The $8,000,000,000 war-revenue bill came before the House to-day for con- sideration. Chairman Kitchfn, of the Ways and Means Committee, which framed the measure, occupied the time and did not conclude his explanation of its features. He devoted practically all of the time yesterday to an explanation of the income-tax sections and to-day went over the excess-profits and war-profits sections. " This bill," said Mr. Kitchin, " raises twice as much annual revenue as this or any other nation ever attempted to pro- duce. " It is more than three times the total of bonds issued and taxes levied by the Federal Government during the Civil War, and $2,500,000,000 more than the total cost of that war. I firmly believe that the bill will raise the full amount needed without ruining business or em- barrassing a single individusl. " I want every taxpayer to know that every tax he pays is going into our Treas- ury to help save the existence of the Gov- ernment and to preserve his liberty and his business. The man who is not willing to contribute to such a cause is not a pa- triot. It is not enough to say he is will- ing to do his bit. The time has come when every man must be willing to do his all."

S. BULLETIN: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918. TRIBUTE TO GEN. LAFAYETTE PAID BY VICE ADMIRAL SIMS The following message from Vice Ad- miral Sims has been received by the Lafayette-Marne Committee, of New York: " Today we rejoice in the celebration of two events in our world's history, the birth of Gem Lafayette, September 6, 1757, and the fourth anniversary of the Battle of the Marne, which was so' bril- liantly fought September 0, 1914. Those two events are not only co-related as Jo dates, but more so in the effect upon the happiness of our two great countries. Gem Lafayette, true gentleman and tal- ented officer, through the ceaseless vigil at Valley Forge and the trying times to come lent his priceless energy and ability without stint, and from these beginnings has sprung our great democracy, whose might, desire and willingness are today directed toward securing for France the return of these same blessings. " Had not the victorious battle of the Marne been fought, no* one can say to what extent we could have succored or aided France, but because it was a vic- tory, because it stopped, then turned back the invading hordes, we today are able to take our part. Let us not forget that debt of gratitude which we owe France nor falter in our determination to assure to her the return of her terri- tory and the outlook of continuous and prosperous peace. " While the world has France the world will have liberty." Lafayette Celebration Touches American People ....... Deeply, Says Mr. Crowell Press interview with Secretary Crow- ell: As never before the American people of this generation are conscious of the significance of the anniversary of the birth of Lafayette. To-day's celebra- tion touches them intimately and deeply. They welcome joyfully the new comrade- ship, and their will is to cement it with complete assistance to a triumphant vic- tory for liberty. It is interesting to note that as w$ here in Washington are paying our tribute of respect to France and the spirit of democratic fraternity, the 30th Division of American troops are assist- ing the Soldiers of threat Britain in the reduction of a salient by which a new area of the soil of Belgium is being freed of the invader. This salient is triangu- lar, about 6 miles to a side, and with Mount Kemmel as the center extends from Voormezelle to Locre to Pioeg- street. Meanwhile, further south our , forces, in association with gallant veter- ans of Joffre and Foch, continue steadily to reclaim- new ground in overrun' France. FBEXGHT T&AF5TC CHAIBMAN.

Post Offices Reports having been made that at some post otHces The Official (United States) Bulletin is not being posted regularly for public reading in accordance with Post- master Genera) Burleson's orders, postmasters are again reminded of this important duty. It should be remembered that The Bulletin is the only publication available to all sections of the country that prints daily the complete and correct casu- alty lists from our armies oversea exactly as they are issued by the War Department. Many newspa- pers print only the lists having local interest in their own territory. The Bulletin prints every name and address, thus making it a cer- tain means of informing friends and relatives, wherever they may be, of the fate of a soldier or sailor, no matter where his home town or city. Postmasters are urged, aside from their duty as officials, to malie it their patriotic and personal duty to see that,, the public ha3 the fullest benefit of this privilege. The Postmaster General's order follows: All postmasters are directed to post The Official Bulletin daily in a "conspicuous place in the lobby or other portion of their respective post-office buildings where the pub- lie can read it; and, without ex- pense to the Government, each and every postmaster is earnestly urged to see that this Bulletin is made available to as many people as possi- ble in the manner suggested.

S. BULLETIN': SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918. Director General McAdoo Announces Form of Contract Which Government Is Willing to Make With Railroad3 Covering Federal Control and Basis of Compensate Director General of Railroads McAdoo on Thursday issued the following: I am announcing to day the form of contract which the Government is willing * to make with the railroad companies cov- ering Federal control of "the railroads and the compensation therefor. The formulation of these contract pro- visions has been in progress since the ap- proval of the Federal control act on March 21 last. The length of time con- sumed in this work has been due to the difficulties and .intricacies of the subject, the absence of precedent for a-contract of this nature, the great variety of rail- road conditions and practices which had to be carefully considered and discussed before finally adopting a uniform plan, .and the necessity of giving to the great number and variety of interests affected the fullest opportunity for hearing and discussion upon every aspect of the many- sided problems. Assisted By Committee. In order that no phase of the public- Interest might be unrepresented, I ar- ranged at the outset for, and have con- tinuously had, the benefit of the advice and assistance in this matter of a com- mittee of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, consisting of Messrs. Clark, Hall, Anderson, and Meyer.. The railroad companies and the rail- road security holders have been repre- sented by committees as well as by coun- sel. In addition to the various formal hearings and discussions, there have been repeated interviews at which a great many special problems affecting particu- lar railroad companies have been fully represented. Outcome of Hearings. The draft of contract adopted is the outcoiffe of all these hearings, discussions, arid considerations, and represents in my judgment a form of contract which con- forms to the law, protects the public in- terest, and accords to railroad companies: and their stockholders and bondholders the just protection which was contem- plated by the Government when it took possession and control of the railroads. .Features of the Contract. Aside from recitals, definitions, and de- scription of property, the draft of con- tract covers only 12 pages. The principal features are as follows: The railroad company accepts the con- tract and the compensation therein pro- vided for in full satisfaction of all claims ftn account of Federal possession and con- trol. Provision is made for the numerous features of operation and accounting dur- ing Federal control, for the allocation of revenues on traffic in transit at midnight December 31, 1917, for the handling of " overlapping " items of expense, etc. Maintenance of Property. Provision is made for the mainte- nance of the property during Federal control, of course at the expense of the Government, on substantially the sa me basis as during the three-year test period ending June 30, 1917, and for the return of the property at the end of Federal control in substantially as good repair and substantially as complete in equipment as on January 1, 1918 ; it is provided in effect that if during the test period the maintenance expenses were not sufficient to put the property in con- dition for safe operation, the additional maintenance necessary for safe operation may be provided at the expense of the company, with' the limitation that the cost of maintenance shall not be increased at the expense of the company over the normal standard of maintenance of rail- roads of like character and business dur- ing the test period. - Provision is made for the payment of taxes in accordance with the Federal con- trol act. Annual Compensation. Provision is made for the annual com- pensation (which will be fixed in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Federal control act) to be paid to the company in quarterly installments. This compensation will not be subject to any deductions which would prevent the com- pany from supporting its corporate or- ganization, keeping up its sinking funds, paying taxes and rents, and interest here- tofore regularly paid, and interest on loans issued during Federal control These requirements of the company for corporate expenses and fixed charges be- ing thus provided for, the Government has the right to make deductions from the remaining compensation to satisfy in- debtedness which the railroad company may owe to the Government; however, the contract declares the power of deduc- tion to be an emergency power, to be used only when no other reasonable means is provided by the company to reimburse the United States, and not to be used so as to interrupt. unnecessarily the regular payment of dividends made by the com- pany during the test period. Disposition of Claims. Provision is made for the orderly pre- sentation and disposition of claims on the part of the railroad company for amounts expended by the Railroad Administration for additions to its property which, in the opinion of the railroad company, are not for its advantage and for which it be- lieves it should not be charged. Provisions are also made for final ac- counting at the end of Federal control. In a comparatively few instances, con- sidering the opportunity for differences of opinion, there appear to remain, some objections on the part of some of the in- terests which have been heard, but these objections., are in my opinion without foundation, One of these objections is that the con- tract ought to leave open for litigation at the end of Federal control the question whether the railroad has been damaged by diversion of its business during Federal ; control. This claim is not tenable because the railroads have been taken over for war piloses which necessitate diversion of traffic, hence there can be no escape from the view that Congress intended the compensation which it authorized to cover this element. This demand of certain in- terests is, in effect, for an-opportunity to litigate and is a demand which need not be urged if the railroad company, instead of ma.king the contract offered, should instead go to the Court of Claims to get its compensation. In this event the rail- road company would get only a single compensation, covering its entire claim, including any damages for alleged diver- sion, and would not be allowed to litigate at the end of Federal control the question of diversion of business. The contract ought not in this respect to put the rail- road company in any better position than it would occupy if it made no contract. This demand is not only unreasonable, but the Director General has no lawful au- thority to grant it, as I have been ad- vised by the Solicitor General of the United States, to whom I submitted the question and who has considered and ap- proved the legal aspects of the contract. Improvement of Boa&s. Objection has also been made that the contract ought not to require a railroad company to pay out of its compensation such additional amount as may be neces- sary to bring a railroad, which at the be- ginning of Federal control was in unsafe condition, up to a condition of safe opera- tion. This objection really means that the Government ought to accept and con- tinue such a property in an unsafe con- dition (which would be clearly contrary to the public interest and ultimately con- tra ry to the interest of the owners of the property), or should itself repair at its own cost the fault of the owners and put the property in a better condition than the owners kept it, thus giving the owners not only compensation, but besides; at the end of Federal control the advantage of having without cost an 'improved prop- erty, while this advantage would be denied to railroad owners who had properly maintained their property. I have not been able to accede to this view. I have felt that railroad owners had no right to make any such demand, nor do I believe that railroad owners generally do make any such demand. Under the contract, however, this right to bring the property up to a condition of safe operation is not to be exercised so as to interfere with the railroad company's payment of its fixed charges, including interest heretofore regularly paid. Payment of Debts. Some objection has also been made that no part of a railroad company's compen- sation should be used to pay its debts to the Government except such part as might remain after the company's payment of its customary dividends. This objection, has no bearing where a company has paid dividends on a provident basis and has retained, as it is recognized all well-regu- lated companies should retain, a substan- tial surplus of its income to provide a margin of credit and cover unproductive (Continued on page 14,}THE OFFICIAL U.

S. BULLETIN: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBEK 7, 1918. FORM OF CONTRACT FOR COMPENSATION OF RAIiOAD COMPANIES IS ANNOUNCED (Continued from page 12.) improvements. In every such ease the company/can, in accordance with the con- tract, make other reasonable provision for reimbursing the United States, and there need be no interference with its dividends as regularly paid during the test period. The objection only applies where a rail- road company has paid improvident divi- dends. As to such a case the argument is that the contract should put the com- pany in a far better position than it would occupy if it made no contract, and in a far better position than it would occupy if it-continued in private control and en- joyed an income eqi^al to the compensa- tion guaranteed by the Government. Without a contract, the right of deduc- tion in such cases would be clear. Under private management, and with a corre- sponding income, the company would have £p pay the penalty" of improvident divi- dends through the loss of its credit and, ultimately, the breaking down of its prop- erty. The proposition is, .baldly, that the Government shall protect the company in paying improvident dividends and then lend it money to cover all its indebted- ness arising since Federal control, and render it immune from the consequences of its own improvidence. All of these ob- jections are' unreasonable. It is not pos- sible to believe that they express the \yiews of the railroad companies generally, Or the owners of railroad securities gen- erally. The points''are mentioned, howc ever, because they appear to have been made the subject of very considerable publicity. Conditions Xast December. Frequently the arguments urged in op- position to certain features of the pro- posed contract have suggested the idea that under any such contract the rail- roads would be in a much worse position than if they had remained in private man- agements It may be well, therefore, to look at the situation which confronted the railroads-last December and to consider what would probably be their present status if still in private management. Last December the expenses of the rail- roads were increasing with great rapidity. They were hedged about in their efforts to obtain increased rates by the numer- ous and various restrictions imposed by the States, and also by the limitations imposed by the interstate commerce act. They were confronted by imperative de- mands for greatly increased wages and were without machinery to insure an amicable settlement of those demands, They were finding it almost impossible to borrow money on any terms to make the improvements which were Indispensa- ble to enable them to perform their pub- lic service. The operating results for the first four months of 1918 indicate that if the railroads had been under private control during that period they would have lost in operating income, as com- pared with the corresponding period of the preceding year, $186,116,533; and as' compared with an average of the corre- sponding period for the three-year test period, $96,084,356. This takes no ac- count of the wage increase subsequently made, which nevertheless was retroac- tive to January 1. These adverse condi- tions, coupled with the extreme difficulty of borrowing money, would probably--have resulted in the failure of some of the most Important railroad companies in the country to meet their obligations under private management. Income on Jnst Basis. Under Federal control the railroads have the opportunity to contract with the Government for a guaranteed income on a just basis, which relieves them of the formidable anxieties which confronted them in December and which would still be confronting them under private con- trol. They are able to borrow money from the Government on reasonable terms for necessary improvements. These are fundamental things which impress the great body of railroad investors and should make them satisfied with the status as it now exists. Of course, no railroad company is com- pelled to accept the form of contract the Government offers. The company is free to reject the contract and go into the Court of Claims to obtain such compen- sation as the Court of Claims will allow and to work out, under statutory and general legal principles, all the details of the relationship which will arise be- tween the Government and the company on account of Federal control. I am con- vinced, however, that the contract offered by the Government is just and reasonable. The railroad owners have no right to as- sume more .than that, and if the Govern- ment oliers less they are fulls protected by their right to reject the Government's offer and go into the Court of Claims. 4 W.

TO BE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER. Every registrant sliall immediately upon receipt of a Questionnaire proceed as follows: He shall first carefully read, or have read to him, the instructions printed on this page, and the instructions-printed with each series of questions. He shall then take up eadjj series ef questions, and answer all questions which he is required to answer and sign his name where required by the instructions. Hp shall make no mark nor answer upon page No. 1 until he has answered the 12 series of questions; but after having done so and before he executes his affidavit on page No. 15, he shall answer the question near the bottom of page No. 1 and sign his name thereto. If he wishes to waive all claim of exemption or deferred classification, he shall sign the waiver at the bottom of page No.-1. He shall then upon the first page place a cross mark (X) in the space opposite the division which describes his ground or basis for deferred classification. : "The registrant is ,not limited to making one cross mark (X), but may make a sufficient number qf marks to indicate his status in relation tp every ground fox discharge or exemption which exists in his case. He shall then swear or affirm to the truth of his answers by executing the ''Ivegistrant's Affidavit" on page 15. A registrant making any claim which must be supported by an affidavit must procure the execution of the supporting affidavit |w the person or persons indicated in the instructions relating to the particular series which states the claim, Unless he procures such affi- davit, the claim will not be considered either by the Local Board or by the District Board. Additional affidavits may be' filed with the Questionnaire when deemed necessary by the registrant or person making claim in his behalf. (Sec. 95 (/) S. S. R.) The Questionnaire, answered and sworn to in strict accordance with these instructions, must be filed with the Local Board on or before the seventh day (excluding Sundays and legal holidays) after the date appearing upon the first page of the Questionnaire under the words "Notice to Registrant./' c : Note.—The initials S. S. R. refer to the regulations prescribed by the President and known as the Selective Service Regulations. Reasons for and Effect of Classification. The names of all men liable to selection for military service shall be arranged in five classes in the order in which they# can best be spared from the civic, family, industrial, and agricultural institutions of the Nation. The term "deferred classification'' includes the second, third, fourth* and fifth classes of the five classes in which registrants shall be placed. All registrants placed in Class V have been exempted or discharged, and all registrants placed in Classes II, III, and IV have been temporarily discharged. The effect of classification in Class I is to render every man so classified presently liable to military service in the order determined by the national drawings. The effect of classification in Class II is to grant a temporary discharge from draft, effective until Class I is exhausted; and similarly Classes III and IV become liable only when Classes II and III, respectively, are exhausted. All classifications are conditioned upon the continuing existence of the status of the registrant which is the basis of his classification. (See Sees. 1 (j) and (k) and 70 8. S. R.) Every registrant,shall, within five days after the happening thereof, report to his Local Board any fact which may change or affect his classification. Failure to report change of status as herein required or making a false report thereof is a misdemeanor, punishable by one year's imprisonment, (Sec. 116 S, S. R.) Notice to Registrants and to all Interested Persons, and Effect of such Notice. {a) The process of examination and selection shall begin by the posting of notice in the offices of the Local Boards and by mailing a Questionnaire to every registrant included in such posted notice (Sec. 92 S.8.R.), and notice of every subsequent action taken by either the Local or District Board in respect of each registrant shall be given by entering a minute or date of such action on the Classification List in the office of the Local Board and in addition to such entries by mailing to the registrant (and in some cases to other claimants) a notice of such action. (b) Whenever a duty is .to be performed or a period of time begins to run within which any duty is to Joe performed by any such regis- trant, or within which any right or privilege may be claimed or exercised by or in respect of any such registrant, a notice of the day upon which such duty is to be performed or such time begins to run shall be mailed to the registrant, and the date of such mailing of notice shall be entered opposite the name of such registrant on the Classification List, which is always open to inspection by the public at the office of the Local Board. (c) In addition to the mailing of such notice to registrants, notice of the disposition of claims of other persons in respect of registrant^ shall be mailed to such other persons. Either the mailing of such notice or the entry of such date in the Classification List shall consti- tute the giving'of notice to the registrant and to all concerned, and shall charge the registrant and all concerned with notice of the day upon which such duty is to be performed or the beginning of the time within which such duty must be performed or such right or privi- lege may be claimed, regardless of whether or not a mailed notice or Questionnaire is actually received by the registrant or other person. {d) "Failure by any registrant to perform any duty prescribed by the President under the authority of the act approved May 18, 1917, or subsequent act or acts of Congress at or within the time required, is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for one year, and may result in loss of valuable rights and immediate induction of such registrant into military service. ^ . . (e)^Failure of the registrant or any other person concerned to claim and exercise any right or privilege on the day or within the time allowed shall be considered a waiver of such right or privilege, subject only to the privilege to apply for an extension of time. (/) All registrants and other persons are required to examine from time to time said notice so posted by the Local Board and the Clas- sification List upon which said dates are "to be entered; and it is the duty of every registrant concerning whom any notice is posted, but who has not received the Questionnaire or notice, as the case may be, to apply to his Local Board for a copy thereof. ^ Failure to receive notice or Questionnaire will not excuse the registrant from performing any duty within the time limit, nor shall it be in itself ground for extension of time. (Sec. 7. S. S. R.) {g) Any registrant, except an alien enemy, who fails to return the Questionnaire on the date required shall be deemed to have waived all claim for deferred classification, and shall stand classified in Class 1 subject, however, to the rights and privileges of other persons to apply to the Local Board for deferred classification of the registrant, and to the right of the registrant or any other person to apply, for an extension of* time, as provided in Section 99 S. S. R. (Sec. 129, S. S. H.)
