Trfs't Klliott's letter to the director general. IIipet Approval. At thn time the government issue.j this order, the country was at war. and there was a jrre.it scarcity of man power and material. Now, however, there appears to he an abundance of man power at least, and it is expected by the members of the hoard of works that the entire approval of the government to the South Hnd track Reparation plan will ho forthcoming at once. The elevation of the New York '"entral tracks is to he the. forerunner of a general elevation of railroad tracks through the city. The track reparation fund law was enacted t-ight years ago. and at that time a track s paration fund was created through a special levy. Imrinsr 1 1 1 8 . the levy for this fund was five cents. During 1919 It will he two cent--, but. it may he raised as hitfh as 10 cents. Although the present track reparation fund has been dephted from time to time by the various departments of the city who have borrowed from it, city officials claim that it can le replenished easily in time for its use when the time arrives. s:ioo.ooo cost to City. The city's expense in the proposed elevation of the New York Central will he in the neighborhood of $30(f'"0, while the cost to the NewYork 'entral is estimated at a little over ope million dollar?, making the total '-ost of more than a million and a quarter dollars. At present there Is about $33. 000 actually in the track separation fund. However, there is an ordinance now pending" before the city council, asking for the transfer of $ 0,000 from this fund to the general fund. The ordinance will probably pass : the meeting Monday night of the council, leaving a small sum of $3.000 in the fund. Including what is owed the track separation fund by the various departments at the city hall, the track separation fund is entitled to a credit of a little over $200.000, and by the lime the city is ready to pay its cost of the elevation of the New York Central tracks, the fund will have grown to at least $300.000. It is estimated that at least a year will he consumed in Getting- everything arranged for leginning the actual elevation of the tracks, and that at least two years. more will be needed in which to complete the work. "If the government gives its approval to the plan, we mean to take immediate steps leading to the elevation of the New York Central tracks," declared Pres't Elliott Saturday. "I believe the government will give its approval, '' he continued. "It has done o in other cities, and now that there is no scarcity of labor, I feel sure that I will receive a favoraide reply from the director general of the railroad administration."

"Uncle" Jimmie McKenna of New Mexico is Famous K. of C. Secretary on Duty Overseas

NKYV YOIIK. Jan. ZZ. Amongst Knirfht-? of Columbus overseas secretaries are many notables In the different walks of life. These secretaries are hand-picked and selected from thousands of applicant. for their peculiar fltn-s to bent serve the American soldiers and fallors as Knights of Columbus want them servedTime will hnnjj heavy on the

"When the Indian troubles grew worse later on I erved as a scout under Gens. Hatch, Lawton, Chaffe and King, and took part in the capture of Geronico In 1885."

orders to return heme and they will

need entertainment of varied character and hlh order to keep them yati.sfied and comfortable. To provide this entertainment, the Knights of Columbus have selected hundreds of especially qualified secretaries drawn from all rinks and position in life. Sportsmen, actors special entertainers, athletes, musicians and all their kindred fields have been raked by the Knights for suitable men. One of the latest additions to their overseas secretarial force is "Uncle Jimmie" McKenna of New Mexico. "Uncle Jimmie" is enthusiastic over his mission abroad for the Knights of Columbus, and says, he regards it ?s the biggest tiling. In his life. "I'm a bit too old to soldier any more," he s:iys, "but I'm not too old U help entertain and comfort our boys and that's why I'm going to France as a Knights of Columbus secretary." In Icniand. "Uncle Jimmie" is sure to be in bii; demand amongst our soldler when they learn who he Is and what ho has done. He will help them spend many happy hours while listening to him narrate his many thrilling experiences. In him part of the oM west of thi continent. Is going to the tili older west of Kurope to coax the sunshine back to that continent. The part is James A. McKenna and the Knights of Columbus are making ready to send him soon to Franco as one of their secretaries, figuring that since this member of the "fighting McKennas" first went out to the plains In '76 and started rubbing. clt bows with Geronimo, Kit Carson and other persons who drove away monotony and buffaloes in those days, he has learned enough about men and life to look after the comfort of the doughboys still over there without losing any of his luxuriant silver hair. Kver since he left home as a lad of 13 he has been poking himself into out of the way corners all over the world about every two years, in

by some of Geronimo'8 band and after seeing what they did to Baxter when they killed him "Uncle Jimmie" says he knew "they meant to have some fun with me." But something he thinks It was a bear scared them off and he escaped. Before he reached a settlement of white? he walked straight into a group of red men and frightened them off. This happened In a repion of New Mexico which has since been made the McKenna National park in his honor. Ho enlisted for the SpanishAmerican war after visiting Harbin and roe to he a sergeant. Medal of Honor. He obtained the medal of honor because the Filipinos were thoughtful enough to' prepare an ambush for an American force which would have succeeded If a battery hadn't broken it up, but before the batten could get busy its mules had to be nrled out of a river bed under fire. "When the mules pot stuck, about 15 of us blindfolded 'em, rave em hell, and said a few coax words to 'em that weren't exactly scriptural. Then they moved and we got the medals, explains "Uncle Jimmie." "Uncle Jimmie" was in a tight place In Mexico six years ago when he was captured by a Villa band. "Uncle Jimmie" knew two of the guards, and when the rest of the crowd came the next morning to shoot the Americans they were miles away, safely In hiding. "Uncle Jimmie," who tried to enter the army but missed connections, may go to Russia unless his talks and entertainments for the boys In

France make them keep him there. When It's over he wants to come back and finish up the Mexico business.
