Is Hammond Working Under Cover For Sunday’s Game.

All sorts of wild ’rumors have been floating about of late in regard to the Hammond-Pine Village game to be played at Lafayette tomorrow, relative to th? I 'lineup of the Hammond team when it takes the field against the Villagers, in the battle for the state championship. Perhaps the wildest of all those is that Elmer Oliphant, fprmer Purdue back and at present -placing with the army eleven, will- be -seen in the backfield of the Hammondteam. > Another report says that Jim -Thbrpe, former Carlisle football playthe greatest football player that ever lived; Dorias of Notre Dame, all Indiana and r.ll western quarterback, and Mart Macomber, of Illinois, all American halfback in 1915, will form the remainder of the backfield. 4 Macomber will not play with Pine Village as reported. Knute Rockne, of Notre Dame, all westara end, it is said, may play one of the wing positions for Hammond- Although the battle front as given out by Captain Blocker does not contain any of these names, many fans are of the opinion that Hammond is working under cover and will be loaded for bear. Anyway, the Lake county men are going about their business in a quiet manner and an aijr of confidence pervades their camp and it will not lie surprising to see the Villagers have the tussle of their lives to win. However, knowing Manager Rhoads as we do, itvis our opinion that the Villagers will not be asleep at the switch and that Hammond will findthat the stock raiser will have a feu’ stars of his own in the lineup.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN,

NEW POLICY NEEDED IN GOVERNMENT RAILWAY CONTROL

HelpfulneisandEncouragement Urged 6/ Alfred P. Thom. CREDIT MUST BE IMPROVED Increase of Transportation Facilities Necessary to Securi Relief From High Cost of Living May Thue Be Provided For by the Railroads. Washington, Nov. 28.—A new policy of government railroad regulation, based on constructive principles of helpfulness and encouragement instead of upon principles of fepression and punishment, was urged by Alfred P. Thom, counsel for the Railway Executives’ Advisory Committee, the first witness on behalf of the railroads before the Newlands Joint Committee on interstate Commerce, which lias instituted a general inquiry into the problems of railroad regulation. “It is proposed by the joint resolution of Congress," said Mr. Thom, “to go intb a comprehensive study of the whole subject of transportation, to make a new assessment, after 29 years of experiment, of its history, its present conditions and its future needs. The railroads accept the view that regulation is a permanent and enduring part of government in America and that the first duty of the carriers is to the public. That duty is to afford reasonable facilities on reasonable

terms and at reasonable rates, and this must be dove any private interests can be considered.” Certainty, Safety and Sufficiency, Mr. Tbym contended that the real Interest of the public is in being assured of certainty, safety and sufficiency of transportation facilities, rather than in rates. The first consideration of the public is to obtain transportation facilities. What the cost is. is in reality a second consideration, he said. Mr. Thom proposed an increase of transportation facilities as a method of securing relief from the high cost of living. ‘‘There have been less than 1,000 miles of new railroad constructed in the United States during the past year,” he said, “less than in any year since 1848, except the period of the Civil Wa r - and yet the cost of living is dally advancing owing to a shortage of supplies which might be remedied by securing access to new areas of production. Credit Must Be Improved. leads to the consideration as to whether raiitoad credit is as good as the public interest requires. It is impossible for railroads to earn enough to supply the necessary new facilities from current revenue. They must be provided from credit- Investors cannot be coerced, but must be attracted.” Among tlie conditions affecting railroad credit which deter Investors he mentioned (.he following: “First, Kailroad revenues are not controlled ’by investors, but are fixed and limited by governmental authority and not by one but by several governmental authorities, which do not recognize responsibility for assured results to investors and are uncoordinated. —^Second, —Kail roads cannot control and the government cannot and does not limit the expense account. “Third, The present system of regulation is based on a policy of regulation and correction and not on a policy of helpfulness and encouragement. “Fourth, The outstanding obligations of the railroads have already exceeded the financial rule of safety and involve a disproportionate amount of obligations bearing fixed charges. “Fifth, The investor must accept a subordinate obligation or security with no assurance of a surplus'of earnings to support it. “Sixth, Other competitive lines of investment present superior attractions. “Seventh, The railroad business is largely controlled by political instead of business considerations. Look Forward, Not Back. “We may debate about what has caused the present conditions,” said Mr. Thom, “but #e cannot debate about what the people nfed. The President has taken the view* that we must look forward in this matter and ‘make a fresh assessiiieiit of circumstances’ in order to deal bglpfully and intelligently with the problem. Abusflt-are no more prevalent in the railroad business today than in any other business humanely conducted. The great question now is whether the existing system of regulation gives the public reliable assurance of sufficient present and future railroad facilities. “Those who .oppose any change must make their' appeal on the ground that the present systems assure the public of the continued adequacy of transportation facilities. If they do not, no argument based on the desirability of the present dual system of regulation will be accepted by public judgment. The question of ‘states’ rights’ is not involved. If the regulation of transportation 1 facilities privately owned should fail government Ownership must follow, and then all power of the states over the railroads would disappear. “Let us debate this question, then, not upon any mere theory or jealousy as to the distribution of governmental power, but upon the large Issue of what the public interest requires in respect Ut the assurance of adequate transportation service.”

United States Investigating Deportation of Belgians.

The American governmetn’s formal protest to’Germany against the deportation of Belgians for forced 'abo? as a violation of the principles of humanity,’ was made public Friday uy the state department. It was in the form of a notft cabled, to Charge Gerew at‘Berlin, with the instructions that he seek an interview with the Geiman chancellor and read it to him, and was given out by the department with the terse comment: ‘'The interview has taken place.” Officials refused to add to this statement as far as could be learned, and there was no reply from Germany. All information available, however, Indicates that the deportations are continuing, and it is known that through earlier informal representatives Charge Grew’ learned that the German position was that the policy was a military necessity, and not ni violation of the international law."

HAVE DONE THEIR BIT ON BORDER

Indiana Troopers Arrived at State ( Capital Friday Noon—Rain and Sleet Greet Them. The Thirdjndiana Infantry arrived a. Indiana Friday, under the eom- . aid of Col. A. L. Kuhlman, after . iving done their bit on the border ter the past several months. The t oops wens to Fort Benjamin Harrison in the afternoon, preparatory to ooing mustered out oi the federal service. Though the weather 1 , with sleet, rain, snow and cold weather, was in striking contrast to the pleasant weather prevailing on the TexasMexican border, not a single onhv of the 771 men and officers' uttered a word of complaint against the chilling blasts —Indiana looked too good for them to complain about such a trifling Thing as the weather. While everybody is happy to be home, not a man in the regiment regrets his unusual experiences of the past five months. Sacrifices have been made, and discomforts have been experienced, men in the army in the field may expect, yet the men of the Third Indiana,' remembering after a time only the • pleasant interesting features of their enlistment, will look back 4 with pride to their service the rest of their lives and will have stories of their experiences to tell when they become grandfathers. The fact that the Third Regiment came home without leaving a single man in the hospital is the remarkable tsetimony paid to the sanitary conditions prevailing at the eamp at Llano Grande. The soldiers will live in the barracks until they are formally mustered out of the federal service and are returned to civil life. Friday night, with the exception of the time that they spent on the train, was the first ime in five'months 'that the men have not slept under canvas. The men came home bundled up in heavy army coats, so that they were entirely comfortable despite the great hange in the weather conditions they experienced in coming. from Texas to Indian a. It is expected thousands of friends and relatives will visit the members of the Third at the Fort today and. tomorrow. It was announced Friday that sixthousand more national guardsmen, chosen by Maj. General Funston, have been ordered to return to their various home states.
