LOSS OF EFFICIENCY BY ROADS PRESENTS PROBLEM III VIENNA

NEW YORK, May 25. (By a etaff correspondent of the Associated Press, jUBt returned from Vienna.) Central Europe's food problems have, during recent months, been adversely Influenced by the fact that slowly the railroads are losing their efficiency and are no longer able to do their share In the distribution of these necessities. The war has made heavy demands upon the lines, and it has been impossible to give trackage and rolling stock the care they require.. For almost two years now the railroads have been neglected. This and the heavy traffic' over many of the principal lines, due to the war, has made the railroad system a mere shadow of what it was formerly. Ballast' ing has been very indifferently done by old men, boys, women and prisoners of war with the result that the wear on the ties has been unusually severe, a condition which in its turn has caused a rapid deterioration of the rails and rolling stock.

STRONG BOOM

(Continued from page One training camp at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, for the purpose of securing a commission, in the United States army. His friends are confident, however, that if he were drafted into service as the Republican congressional nominee he would accept the call, believing It to be his patriotic duty to do so. Past thirty-five years of age Mr. Robbins was above the conscription age limit, and it was unnecessary for him . to offer his services as a soldier to

Uncle Sam, but with a high sense of

tho responsibilities of American citizenship he promptly withdrew his af

filiation with one of the most successful law firms in Richmond and enter

ed into training to become an officer

in the war army of the republic.

His many friends are confident that

If he is called to serve his country in

congress he will accept such a call in

the. same patriotic spirit he offered

; bis services as a soldier. Barnard Would Withdraw

How the suggested candidacy of Mr. Robbins has been received outside of Wayne county ia " indicated by the

ttatement made by George Barnard of

Newcastle, who has been quite active

as a receptive candidate for the Re

publican congressional nomination.

Mr. Barnard said that if Wayne county presented the candidacy of Mr.

Robbins he would withdraw in the

Richmond man's favor.

Barnard regards Robbins as a man

admirably equipped to serve in con

grpss. a knowledge acquired from long find intimate acquaintanceship. Bar

nard has all the time recognized the priority of Wayne county's claim to the nomination but would have entered the contest In his own hehalf harl

Wayne county not agreed on an acceptable candidate drafted from its wn -citizenfrhip. - Expect Other Counties Support With Wayne county solidly supportins the Robbins candidacy it is generally understood that Robbins would

also receive the support of the delegations from Henry, Rush, Fayette, Union and Franklin counties, and, possibly, the support of Hancock county.

i' ii i r-1 Ddsscu ui cuciuj tine, 19 a jautifdate, but he has no chance of being nominated with Wayne county presenting a strong candidate, as Mr. Robbins would be. Mr. Robbins although not yet of middle age is one of Richmond's most succc sssful barristers. He is a thorough student of public affairs, a typical hustling, fighting, get-there young American; clear headed and has the ability of expressing himself forcibly ind eloquently. Also Robbins is the possessor of a most pleasing personality. As his friends rhit it, Robbins answers the often heard demand throughout the district: "Send a young man to congress." The collar ee of the booni of Dr.

Kelly was being generally commented

on here today. His candidacy failed

to receive approval in any quarter. NATIONAL BABY WEEK

CUBAN PRESIDENT KILLS SHIP BILL

HAVANA, Cuba, May 25.- President Menocal has vetoed a bill recently passed by the Cuban congress, which provided that no ship under Cuban registry should be cleared from any port of the republic unless the captain was a native or naturalized Cuban citizen, In vetoing the bill President Menocal stated this country is .without a sufficient number of experienced navigators to have such a law on its statute books, and that to put such a law In operation would work serious inJury upon the republic's small merchant marine and probably would result in compelling owners of the several large ships now sailing under the Cuban flag to transfer their registry to some other nation.

FILIPINOS ACCEPT AMERICAN ATTITUDE AND OFFER SERVICE

MANILA, May 25. Perhaps the most t remarkable development of the war situation in the Philippines has been the startling unanimity with which Filipino leaders, newspapers and people have taken the American attitude as their own. - - Except for the fear of one Filipino newspaper that the war might mean the. employment of Filipino troops-in Europe, there was not a discordant note in the loyalty given the American cause. Every newspaper claimed the cause of America as its own and many of them held that the Filipinos . were willing to make any sacrifice to help the United States, although not alone through gratitude but through an appreciation of the high minded ideals

for which America had entered the struggle. The day after news came to Manila of the American declaration of war, the Filopino veterans association, composed entirely of men who had fought in the insurrection of 1900 againstthe United Stated, offered Its cervices in any capacity, to the governor-general.
