Now York.?Fourteen thousan 1
N? w York soldiers, members of the
famous 27th division who with the
orth (North Carolina, South Carolina
and Tennessee) division proved
t) the world that the Hindenburg
line could be broken arrived here today
on the transports Leviathan and
Maurclnniu to receive the laurels of
v ctors.
New York has cheered time and
attain heroes returning: from overs'as
but not as she cheered today.
Huboken's water front was crowded
as never before when the Leviathan
swung into her dock across the river,
outside the Cunard piers, another
giant throng greeted the Mauretania.
Maj. Gen. John O'Rvan, commanddor
of "New York's Own," found
awaiting him Mrs. O'Ryan and their
children. It was a touching reunion.
This afternoon tin* general and his
staff paid a formal call on Mayor
l-'ylan at city hall where the mayor
paid his tribute to Now York's former
national guardsmen.
It was expected that details of the
parade in New York of the entire division,
set tentatively for March 20.
would be. arranged today, but officers
of the division said tonight decision
had been postponed untl tomorrow
when (Jen. O'Ryan would confer with
city officials.
Initiative and dash of American
troops brigaded with the British in
the campaign which began Sept. 29
last for the St. Quontin canal and
vaulted in breaking the Hindcnburg
lire, were held to have been "the deriding
factor" in the war by Brig,
(kn. Palmer E. Pierce, commander
of the f?4th brigade, a part of the
27th division, in charge of the soldiers
who arrived on the Mauretrnia.
(Ion. Pierce, formerlv assistant to
the chief of staff at Washington,
v as warm in his praise of tho lighting
of the- New Yorkers and units
from all other states. Me said tho
Ci rmans now were commenting on
the "wonderful new discipline" shown
l)%> the Americans whom they previously
regarded, he said, as "bushv
hackers."
"The part taken in this conflict by
our American troops was of tingreatest
value," declared the generah
"Our soldiers old not of themselves
v/in the wat, but certainly
they were tho deciding factor. Sudden
termination of the struggle was
one, primarily, to the arrival of our
troops in great numbers, to the
fig-htin# qualities the.y displayed an 1
to the vital points at which their efforts
wore directed.
"The second army corps, consisting
of the 27th and 30th divisions,
campaigned entirely with the British
and on September 20 made the great
attack on the Hindenburg lino, north
oi St. Quentin, whore the canal of
that name passes through a tunnel
for some four miles.
"This part of the Hindenburg lino
vas prepared for the very strongest
defense by the Germans. Its strength
cannot be appreciated except by a
personal inspection. The penetrat
en of that line permitted the whole
Hindenburg system to be turned.
"This achievement of the secon I
A!my corps was only typical of what
v,as accomplished by other American
n mics in other fields."
Kiarly in the war, Gen. Pierce said
?Many casOcios red as a refill*

THE HORRY HER
RAILWAY OWNERS
WANT PROPERTY
I
Early Return of Lines Desired
By the Railroad
Heads.
t
1 - " ?
Chicago?Early return of the railroads
to operation by the companies
which own them and the passage ot
constructive legislation to enable
private ownership to be made successful
were advocated by Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific Railway in an address before
the Commercial Club of Chicago.
Mr. Elliott presented some data
of contrasts between the situation of
the railways under private and under
go ve rn ment ope rat i on.
"The Pennsylvania system," he
said, "furnished 12.2 per cent, of the
total ton mileage and 14 1-2 per cent,
of the total passenger mileage of the
sieam roads of tiiis country. On December
31, 1917, that system had
233,(500 employees, and on December
31, 191^, it had 273,101 employees.
Altogether the ton mileage handled
in 1918 was less than in 1917 (the)
railways being in the year 1917 under
private control), nearly 40,000 more
employees were required to handle
the smaller volume of business.
"These statements arc not made in
criticism of the railroad administration
or of members of it, but simply
to emphasize the point that the sys- |
t( m of government operation is not
productive of the best results. "With
the same railroads a little better
equipped in 1918 than in 1917, and
the same officers and men but with
different organization and direction,
government control had the effect of
rcoucing that tireless energy and individual
initiative so important to
the success of an enthusiastic operation
of the railroads less than in
1917 and was very much more costly
to the country.
441 can not believe that human nature
and the art of government have
, developed sufficiently to make government
ownership and operation
successful today. I do believe that
embarking on the sea of government
ownership and operation involves a
risk and shipwreck.
"The railway executives do not believe
in the regional plan under
which all the railroads in a given teri
i' \-y are to be merged into one sy
torn. They believe our geograplrc.il
economic and social conditions arc so
different from those existing in
foreign countries we must solve our
p ob!ern in our own way and not
j :vh pt a plan because some other na
t? a may have experimented with it. i
"Sr..all, unsuccessful and 'weakli'
dependent upon their connections
with the great tiunk l'nes,
? v. v gradually be absoibed and berime
a part of the larger systems.
"Regulated competition, especially
a.* to service, should be continued ber
tween the great systems.
"What is called the labor question
is. of course, one of the most serious
1 ami difficult confronting the whole
> world, the railroads in particular and
t there must be a broad view of it and
t a spiiit of give and take by all classs
cs of people, All good citizens de
sire to see wages and living condi1
lions improve but there is a limit to
i
1 what commerce and industry can pay
s and survive, ilt is surely better to
e have reasonable wages and coninu)
cus employment rather than to force
t wages so high that industry lane
guishes, for then the wage earners
e themselves will,suffer most of all.
y "Some have suggested that the
- government guarantee a fixed return
g upon railroad property. The railroad
e executives believe a guarantee would
e tend to reduce initiative and retard
n efficient management and they do
? not ask for it. They believe 1 with
o adequate rates, reasonable liberty to
e act, and good management, roads
i- that have been wisely planned, honestly
financed and well managed can
i, sustain themselves.
(I "One administrative step that
r might bo taken in the not distant
e future would pave the way to return
o to private ownership and operation
(1 is the suggestion and I hclieve it
o would help the situation.
"Let the president continue the
central organization in Washington
under a director general who with
his staff, will supervise tin? whole
situation direct policies and make
those adjustments with the railroads
ig that will be required after governmental
control ceases. This central
rl organization should direct the operation
of the roads through the cornId
panics themselves rather tha1
ip through a system of regional (lire *

boards of directors and exocutiv

URGES LAWS AGAINST
SHEEP-KILLING DOGS
4
Secretary Asks Twenty Governors
to Recommend Protecting
Laws.
%*? *
Enactment of more adequate State
laws to control sheep-killing' dogs is
urged by Secretary Houston, in a
letter just sent to the governors ?n
20 States. The Secretary points out
that although there has been a gratifying
increase in the number of
sheep in the United States in the
past year, there is room for further
expansion of the industry. Farmers,
he says, are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on account
of the danger of damage by
dogs.
The letters were sent to the governors
of Arkansas, Deleware, Florida,
Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
l.cuisiana, Maryland, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri. New Hamn
shire, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia, and W isconsin, where
Si ate legislators are now in session.
Following is the letter:
"I understand that many States
in w have under consideration the
matter of legislation to encourage
the larger development of the sheep
industry by removing or controlling
the dog "menace. During the past
year, as you perhaps know, there has
been a gratifying increase in the
number of sheep in the United States.
There is undoubtedly room in
many sections of the country for fur
thei expansion along this line, especially
in the settled farming areas.
The field representatives of this department,
however, generally report
that farmers are discouraged in
many instances from keeping sheep
on account of the danger of damage
In dogs.
''The question seems to be primarily
one for consideration and cau
tion by the various States. I am,
therefore, taking the liberty to
bring the matter to your attention,
with the hope that you will look into
the situation and make such recommendations
as may seem wise to the
h gislature of the State. May 1 not.
iii this connection, call your attent:on
to the carefully drawn and apparently
well-enforced laws of several
States, notably those of New
Vcik, and Pennsylvania, which are
set forth in the bulletin (Farmers'
bulletin 9ho) inclosed herewith."
