Sold Locomotive In Ilumanla Ilumanln is the only couritry in which Mr. Vauclaln Fold locotnotlvca on hln lat tour. In thnt country ho was entertained by tho king and , queen. The Baldwin Locomotive Works is now filling orders for locomotives for several European countries. The sugar shortage, Judging from Mr. Vauclaln's' remarks, Is confined almost solely to the 'United States. In' every European cpuntry, except England, he said, sugar is plentiful'. NAVY WOULD SELL PLANES "r,t everybody go to work." This Is the remedy suggested today kr Samuel M. Vauclaln, president of the Baldwin Iwomotlve Works, to re Amp the high cost of living. Believing in practicing Just what .lie jircaches, Mr. Vauclaln, who returned io Philadelphia, from Europe last night, - nt his drfk in the office of the locor (! works shortly after 8 o'clock tM morning. ' Dr. Alonzo F. Tajlor, of the Uni versity ot Pennsylvania, was a fellow passenger .with, Mr. Vauclaln ou the Mauretanla. - "What is needed to cut down the hlrii cost of everything," said Mr. Vnu ehlti, "arc less words and more work." follows Own Advlco Asked If he intended to participate in a definite movement toward reducing living costs. Mr. Vauclaln replied: "Why. I'm doing that now. I'm work ing every day and endeavoring to give every opportunity to those who want to do some real work." After being reminded that his name had been mentioned frequently during his absence, in connection with tho lie publican nomination for tho presidency, Mr. Vauclaln was asked if he would ac cept such an honor If It were tendered. "I do not think any American citizen jhouhi refuse an opportunity to become President of tho United States," he re plied. "Does that mean that you would ac cept the nomination If it were offered?" "I do not want to talk ubout that," he answered. During a brief discussion of the presidential situation it was pointed out to blm that men of national influence had agreed that he did more toward win ning llio war than any individual in the United States. As a reward for this Mr. Vauclaln was the honored guest it a dinner in this city Inst year. But even this did not move Mr. Vauclaln. He smiled on being reminded nf this occasion, but added quickly, "You will have, to excuse me from discussing mj6clf iu that connection." Ho nlso declined to comment on the action of Delaware county politicians who In dorsed him. Amplo Food in Russia' Bcgarding the situation in Europe Mr. Vauclaln said: "f didn't see uny more starviug in Europe thou there lu In New, York." he asserted. "Tlwre's plenty of fodd. and American food ought to stay in America. "Considering tho topsy-turvy, effect of the war. everywhere the outlook for Kurope is splendidly hopeful." lie continued. "What they need is mostly transportation, new locomotives, ma chinery and 'tnaterlal with which to make repairs on their impaired locomo tives, and I am ulmost of the mind tint the last is most important." "Crop conditions arc wonderful all over Kurope. In Serbia I saw home of the most beautiful fields of grain and herds ot cattle that I have ever hwo in my life. The outlook for good crops Is excellent n every country in Europe." The political aspect in Poland, nc eonling to Mr. Vauclaiu, is excellent. In his opinion, it will be only a matter of a few year when that country will have pmd its debts to the outside world.
