Speaking of Germany, Father Bojnowski said that in his early life he attended school there, and the spirit of: the natlon was towards militarism with Japan as the cue for their activity.

There are enough coal cars in the country, but not enough are de- livered to the mines, and these cars are not moved to, points of.consump- tion with the greatest expedition nor are they promptly discharged.” In view of ‘these conditions,” the report says: “First, that the production ‘and dis- tribution of coal' and coke' be con- ducted through a pool in the hands of & government agency; that the pro- ducérs of varioys' grades of fuel be paid their full cost of production plus a uniform: profit per ton (with due al- lowance for quality of product and efiiciency of service), and, o “Second that the .transportation agencies of the country, both rail and water, be similarly 'pooled and operat- ed on government account, under the direction of the president and that all such means of transportation be op- erated as a ‘unit, the controlling cor- porations being paid - a just and fair compensation which ;would cover nors mal net profif, upkeep and better- ments. g ; These. recommendations ap- proved by Commissioners Dawes, Col- ver and Fort. ' Chairman Harris dis- ssents on the plan for' a transporta- tion pool except as a' last resort, and suggests instead “that during the war the president be ‘authorized to order rail. and: water. transportation agen- cles to -give preference to shipments of coal,.coke \and other commodities in the order of thefr importance to the public welfa: An urgent necessity exists for im- mediafe legislation to correct condi- tlonu.‘&ays the report, because the usudl spring and summer. accumula- tions of coal stocks at points distant from producing districts “is: not now taking' place.” Present | production of - “‘soft” ocoal | is forty per cent under the possible maximum,- principally because of coal car shortage, the report declares. Contributing factors in the disor- ¥ of ooal transportation are mhm rates from New York and Newport News to Boston, and the practice of lake ships to make trips to the northwest in water ballast rather than carry coal- Discussing the proposed remedy, the commission says: A “If the producer at each mine were paid his full cost of production with allowances for ' depletion, . mainte- nance, upkeep and all the usual items, and to this were added a fixed and uniform net profit per ton with due regard to the quality the coal thus produced, at widely varying costs, if pooled could be sold through the gov- ernment at ‘an average and uniform price, quality considered, which would be entirely tolerable to the consuming public. “The railroads of the country if op- erated as a .unit and on government account could be used to transport coal and other products by the most direct route to their point of destina. tion and the efficiency of the roads themselves, existing rolling stock and motive power would be vastly in- creased. 3 “All receipts from all rail and water transportation agencies being pooled in the hands of the government and all expense of operation being pald from the common fund, each indi- vidual company should be paid a just compensation which might be meas- ured by the average annual net profit and expendjture for maintenance and betterments for the five year period prior to the war. “The operation, both of the mines and of the transportation agencies could be carried on by the present employes and officials, and after the war they could be returned unim- paired to private operation.” The commission will continue its investigations.

WEATHER- For Hartford and vicinity: Probably thunder showers this afternoon or tonight, Thurs- day fair, 5 e A A Endisting Now Will Be Sent To Guard Factories But Will Be Given Training at Once. Hartford, June 20.—There will be no state draft to flll the Connecticut Natonal Guard to war strength. If men are to be drafted for National Guard units, it will be done by.the federal government under the existing miMtary laws which give the president power to draft men for troops in the federal service. v Governor Holcomb, ‘ through the Connecticut state council of defense, Zave out the information today that there would be no draft by the gov- ernor to fill the ranks of the Con- necticut National Guard. “The president of the United States clearly has the power to draft men for the ' Connecticut National Guard as well as for the national guards of other states,” sald Governor Holcomb. “It° appears to me, from the new militia law of the state, that I have not the power to make such a draft ‘with the nation at war and our troops now in federal service. “But we do not want such a draft to become necessary. It would re- flect upon our state’s history and up- on ‘the splendid spirit which our citi- zens have shown in this crisis if it be- came necessary for the federal gov- ernment to step in and draft men to fill our national guard quota. “I' understand that Adjutant Gen. George M. Cole has given assurance today that no men who enlist in our state militia from now on will be re- quired to do guard duty at factories | or ‘bridges around the state. With this assurance that they will go into training at once: for actual service, I believe our red-blooded, two-fisted Connecticut boys will respond to this call for National Guard recruifs now being made 'hy the Connecticut state council of defense, ahd that we will All our units te their full war strength without the necessity of a federal draft. It should be remembered that these who are now registered: for se- jective conscription and, in addition ‘sien under. and ahove the conscription ages, are the National Guard.” DR, KELLOGG'S WILL Son, Wiliam D, Kellogg. The will of the late Dr. Kenneth E. Kellogg, who died last week, was filed in the probate court today. By its terms, after all just debts are paid, practically the entire estate is left to the doctor's young son, William D. Kellogg. Another provision in the will is in reference to Mrs. Kellogg's share of the estate. It states: “con- sidering that the financial needs of my wife, Helen Bundy Kellogg, are, and always will be, amply provided for from other sources, I give, devise and bequeath to her the use, only, during her life time, of one third of my es- tate, both real and personal.” The rest of Dr. Kellogs's estate is left to his son with the recommenda- tion that the son is to have the “care of my brothers, John H. Kellogg and Henry H. Kellogg, 80 far as his means may allow and their necessities re- quire, but I intend that this recom- mendation is not to be deemed a charge on my estate or his interests therein, uniess he has sufficient to provide for their needs and himself.” During the son’s minorjty the disposi- tion of this part of the will is left to the discretion of Rev. H. P. Schauffler of ‘Brooklyn, N. Y, named by Dr. Kellogg as guardian of his son. Another passage in the doctor’s will provides that certain of his personal effects shall be given as keepsakes to certain of his spatients and other friends and a list' of such articles.is appended to the will. 'y The will was drawn on September 22, 1914, by Lawyer F. B. Hungerford and was witnessed by Mayor G. A.
