CONDITIONS REQUIRE i.G. RAILWAY LINE TO SPEND MILLIONS

liwdd Purchases Fifty Locomotives and Refrigerator Cars After Announcement of Rate Raise.

BV LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO. Deo. 22. The Illinois Central was the first railroad with a Chicago terminal to announce purchases to he made as the result of the five per cent freight increase allowed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The two principal items approximates $2,400,000. Here they are: Fifty locomotives at $24,000 each, $1,200,000; one thousand refrigerator cars at $1,200 each, $1,200,000. This does not include railroad ties, bridges, passenger cars or things that go to make up the equipment of a railroad in the market for new material. C. M. KIttelle, assistant to President Markham of the Illinois said: "To meet the growing traffic that is coming with better commercial conditions, we will require 50 new, high grade locomotives. These engines will be used in the general traffic up and down the Mississippi valley, constantly growing in tonnage because of the Panama canal."

Mr. Havis said that before locations 'for additional lamps were finally! decided on he would like to have each ouncilntnn report to him desirable locations, which action council agreed to Wants Good Lights. There are about fifty additional lamps to he placed and Mr. O'Neal s;iil th;it if this number was insufficient he would favor securing as many more lamps as were needed. "Let, Kii'hviond boast of beiiy; a perfectly lighted city." he urged. ; Coum ilman Williams introduced an j ordinance fixing the salary of the fire: i hi' I' at $lo a month, the assistant! ri.ie1' S?xi the company captains $75 : and '.he iivemen $70 )nly the salaries ol the assistant chief and the captains: wi.nid be increased under the provisions of this ordinance. White and Weishaupt contended: that the firemen did as much work as the attains and were deserving of I an increat- the same as the captains.)

White said he was willing to give the captains $5 more a month than their subordinates, but he thought the minimum salary for firemen should be the same as that paid to policemen, $75 a month. He said the work firemen were expected to do was more hazardous than that of the policeman, citing the fact that eleven firemen to one policeman are killed in the performance of their duties annually. Budget Provides Raise. The 1915 budget provides only for the increase of the captains and assistant chief so council will not look favorably on any plan of increasing the firemen's salaries next year but will pass Williams' ordinance at the next meeting. Ten of the twelve councilmen share the belief that the captains should receive more money than their subordinates as they are responsible for the management of their companies. Because there has been no financial incentive for a fireman to accept the duties of captain the chief has frequently experienced difficulty in filling these posts. Councilman Uurdsall complained that some street cars were not being heated, and this complaint was referred to the city attorney. Councilman Waidele also complained about the street car service. He said that city cars were constantly being thrown off their schedules because they had to give the right of way to the traction cars. Gets Valuable Knowledge. City Engineer Charles reported that he received much valuable information at the Roads Congress at Chicago, which he could place to practical use in this city. Councilman Russell reported that his committee had agreed that public rest rooms for men and women at or near the corner of Eighth and Main streets were essential. He said stores in that section of the city were handicapped in meeting the demand for such conveniences. He said the Dickinson Trust company is planning to place such rooms in its new building, to be open night and day, and that it would decide finally on this matter within a few days. The final report on the west side dump was turned in by Councilman Waidele, who announced that three lots owned by the Moorman estate could be secured for $1,000 if a right of way over them for hauling gravel was guaranteed the present owners. No action was taken on this report.

Ject. At that moment, peace would have been preserved if the German government in that supreme hour had followed this initiative. "But the Gernnns brought the situation to a climax by abruptly declaring war against Russia on August 1. By this action, the resort to arms by all the nations became Inevitable. "If Germany diplomatically sought peace, it is strange that after the forty years she should have pursued her aim." "And now, therefore, after all our endeavors to avert it, which have been unsuccessful, we will continue our struggle to the very end. In Defense of Honor. "Faithful to the signature which he attached to the treaty of September 4 last, by which he pledged her honor, that is to say, her life, France, in accord with her allies, will not lay down her arrns until she has avenged the wrongs heaped upon her, for which we weep daily, the stealing of the provinces by force (Alsace and Lorraine) ; restored heroic Belgium in the fullness of its material life and its political inspiration; crushed Prussian militarism with the object of reconstructing upon justice a Europe finally regenerated. "In this plan of war and in this plan of peace we are not inspired, but are certain of success. We owe this certainty to the whole army, to our navy, which

won for us the mastery of the Beas; to the troops who have daily repulsed aggressions in Morocco; we owe this to the soldiers who defend our flag far away in the French colonies, and who from the first day have turned their faces toward the mother country, with a tender feeling: we owe it to our army whose heroism has been guided by incomparable chiefs to the victory of the Marne and to the victory of Flanders in many combats; to the nation which has corresponded with this heroism by maintaining silence and serenity in critical hours. Terror of Army. "In this way we have been able to show to the world that an organized democracy is able to serve vigorously the ideal of liberty and equality upon which her greatness rests; in this way we have been able to show the world that the republic can be feared because of the army which was prepared." The premier then proceeded to tell how the business force of the country had been accentuated in the hour of war and how its credit had been uphel. M. VivianI expressed the nation's sympathy for civil victims of the war who have been driven from their homes or massacred by the Germans in their attempts to terrorize, and advocated an appropriation of $60,000,000 for repairing the ruin spread in those

sections of France captured "by the Germans and subsequently regained by the French. He stated that a tax would be imposed upon the nation to pay this sum in order to take the burden off the national treasury. "The day of definite victory has not yet come," continued the premier. "We must prepare our will and our courage for the task. This country must subscribe in advance to all the sacrifices. All our allies know this; the nations disinterested in the conflict know

j this, and it is vain that a campaign j based upon new lines is made to supj press in them the sympathy which we : have acquired." ! The premier declared that if Germany had had any doubt as to France continuing the war, it would be re- ' moved by the fact that the French parliament had assembled after four months of conflict to say that the ; French nation was "today, as yesterI day, and will have tomorrow only one ' cry 'Victory; only one vision, one country.'
