" UILL UU1LII1C0 PEACE POLICY FORJONGRESS

Broader Powers Would be Given Interstate Commerce Commission by Measure. (By Associated Press') WASHINGTON, Juno 3. A perma nent peace-time oUcy for common carriers encased In Interstate com merce. Including railroad, telegraph, telephone, cable and radio companies, was presented to congress today in a bill drafted by the Interstate Com merce Commission and introduced by Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, and Rep resentative Esch, chairman of the House Interstate Commerce commit tee. .Regulation of the carriers by the commission, under broad and extend-

n. ed powers, is provided in the bill, which la a proposed revision of the interstate commerce act, and is said

to represent generally, the commls' .! eion's views on existing transporta tion problems. The bill would give the commission sweeping authority over rates, service, construction, extensions, security issues and virtually all physical opera

tions, including traffic priorities, pooling and joint use of physical property. Under the measure the commission -4 would have power to continue thej present regional plan of railroad operation and also extend it to oil pipe lines, express and all interstate wire companies.

TWELVE BATTLESHIPS RELIEVED FROM DUTY By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 3. Twelve pre-dreadnaught battleships will be relieved of active duty with the fleet, placed out of commission and probably eventually broken up for Junk or used as targets by more modern vessels under plans now being worked out by the navy- department. The ships are of the "mixed battery" type, and are not considered to be ol any value against latest type of fighting craft. Four of the battleships, the historic squadron comprising the Oregon, Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts, have already been relegated to the scrap heap. The remaining eight, apparent ly doomed to the same fate, are the Kearsage, Kentucky, Illinois, Alabama, Wisconsin, Maine, Missouri and Ohio. The twelve vessels, built between 1893 and 1901, represent a total ex penditure for hulls and machinery alone of more than $339,000,000. When placed out of commission they will release for other duty approxi mately ten thousand enlisted men and nearly four hundred officers. The ships long ago outlived their usefulness as combatant, units in a fighting fleet although when they were built, they were among tne most rormldable war vessels afloat. All of them were used during the war with Ger many as training shipB or coast de fense units. Slow of speed, with a small coal capacity, Interior ordnance equipment and insufficient protection against present day projectiles, the ehips, if kept in commission would be more of a liability than an asset, in the opinion of naval experts. They are armed with old type 12 and 13 inch guns In the main batteries and eight inch guns in the secondary deU. S. Regulation Of Rail Employes With Companies Is Urged (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 3. Demands that railroad employes submit to government regulations as do the companies was made by President B. M. Robinson, today at the convention here of the American short line railroad association. In view of the "reckless extravagance" of the government In all its business, Mr. Robinson said, the demand for railroad economy was "ridiculous." He denounced the claim of $118,000,000 saved In the first year of government operation as unjustified and charged that, in fact, government operation caused a deficit of one million dollars every day in the first sixteen months of government control. "While government regulations of the carriers is extended to the most minute detail," he said, "the employes are left to exercise their own sweet will, which they often do in a most autocratic way. Wage demands have absorbed already the one billion dollar rates Increase which Is being paid by the public." U. S. Counterfeit Money Circulated In Russia PARIS, Monday, June 2 Large amounts of counterfeit American paper money are in circulation in soviet Russia, according to unofficial ; despatches received here. French notes also are being counterfeited.

STRAUS, Prttidtnt While the economic outlook in America may be regarded with .'rclings of : the utmost optimism, the fact remains that the general practices of thrift are just as necessary today as they were at anytime during the war. For a great many reasons it is doubted whether there will be much, if any, reduction in the cost of living for csme time. Undoubtedly prices never will return to pre-war levels. There are some very substantial reasons why they will not recede, which may be summarized as follows: ; Unmistakably there is a world-wide movement among the laboring classes toward higher wages and shorter hours. The standard of living among the masses of the people is rapidly I' Improving. There Is a general short age of ' looa. in all European countries there have been tremendous reductions in the herds of food animals. Furthermore, it is estimated that since the signing of the armistice 200,000,000 additional people have become wholly or partially dependent upon America for food. It will require & . period of years before the world's

June 3. With a razor, a spool of cotton thread and a small portion of ether and chloroform Miss Maria P. Kouroyen, an American Red Cross nurse, performed a life-or-death operation here as the result of which and her other errands of mercy she has come to be known as. "the American angel" by the homeless and starving Greek refugees. Born of Greek parents, Miss Kouroyen is a graduate nurse of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Because of her knowledge of Greek the American Red Cross sent her to Macedonia, where typhus, small pox and cholera "tread on each other's heels and where the refugees bury their dead beneath the dire floors of their shell-shattered shacks so that the bread cards of the dead member of their family shall not be taken up. A Greek soldier one of whose legs had been crushed was brought to the box car on a railroad siding in which Miss Kourolen was living. Something bad to be done for him at once. Miss "Kouroyen spent no time in talking. Borrowing a razor from Lieutenant Abner J. Cobb, of Denver, Col , an American Red Cross field worker who was shaving by candlelight in the box car, Miss Kouroyen anaethetized her patient with her small supply of

Besides the tremendous loss in manpower, which means loss in producing capacity, there has been a loss of material resources so prodigious as to be absolutely beyond the grasp of the human mind. A noted British economist recently stated that the total cost of the war to all nations would exceed 50,000,000,000. During the Napoleonic wars the index number of commodities rose 72 points in 20 years. In the recent World War it rose 108 points in 4y2 years. At the same time there has been tremendous credit inflation, so that the purchasing power of the dollar has been tremendously depredated. Thus the wealthy have suffered heavy losses, and they, too, must practice thrift just the same as those who are in 'moderate circumstances. All progress, both individual and national, depends on thrift. Through saving alone can the new capital be created with which our war bills are to be paid.1 Men and nations alike can fulfil their destinies only through the practices of thrift Let us not be misled in the belief that because the war is ended and we have completed our final Liberty Loan campaign we need no longer practice thrift in America.
