The development battalions are composed of men who for physical or other reasons were found unsuited for active military service when they called up in the draft. The nature of their disabilities was such, however, that it was anticipated many of them could be developed until they would be available for full duty. All santon- ments have such battalions. Before any man is discharged from the army a final physical examination is ‘necessary to determine his condi- tion at the end of his service and it is for this only that demobilization of the development battalions will be delayed.

Nov. 15.—Regardless of the ending of hostilities, Director Gen- eral McAdoo intends to continue to unify railroad operations and pool fa- cilities throughout the period of gov- ernment control, which, under the law, will end 21 months after peacs is for- mally declared.” This policy, it was stated today, has been adopted defi- nitely, and the raflroad administration will not limit its changes in the intér- est of economy to those contributing directly to winning the war. Mr. MeAdoo, together with other ob- servers of the development of governs ment policies, is represented as believ- ing that on the showing made by the railroads under unified control during the next year or two depends settle- ment of the issue of permarent sov- ernment control and ownership, or (f restoration of private management. Without attempting at this time to take a definite stand on this question, the director general, it is said, plans to make government operations show the best results possible, in service to shippers and travelers, rates and treat- ment of employes. The director general ' hopes that pooling of facilities, short hauling and standardizing or unifying operation and accounting practices will result in material economies in another year and that ultimately this will mean rate reductions or extensions to im- prove service. The railroad administration’s policy, it was learned, will be to minimize the influence of state laws and regu- lations over rates, but to seek tae advice and co-operation’of state rail- way or utilities commissions oa police matters, such as safety work, elimina- tion of crossings, erection of stations. These state bodies will be resarded as advisory rathér than executive insti- tutions, however. This course is con- trary in a large degree to that advo- cated by the state commissiconers at their convention here this week. SENTIMENT TO REGULATE ISSUES OF SECURITIES Washington, Nov. 15.— Sentiment has developed among treasury officials and congressiona! leaders for some sort of a federal institution to regu- late issues of securities during the next few years to prevent the market from being flooded with fraudulent stocks, and bonds for which citizens might trade in their Liberty bonds; Tdeas still are nebular, but the treas- ury is at work trying to develop a plan to protect bond owners without imposing drastic artificial restrictions on the securities market. A CAUSTIC RETORT BY BRITISH ADMIRAL WEMYSS Paris, Nov. 14 (British Wireless Service). — Admiral Sir Rosslyn { Wemyss, who was appointed to notify: the German envoys of the naval cen- ditions of the armistice, is credited by Figaro with a phrase which admirably reflects the respective positions of the two fleets. “It is inadmissible,” the Germans protested, “that our fleet should be given up without having been beaten.” Facing the envoys with his monocle, Admiral Wemyss retorted: “It had only to come out.” TROUBLE SETTLING ESTATE OF MRS.
