Amount Railroads Pay Out For New Engines; Breaks All Records Railroads of the United States and Canada have, so far this year, ar ranged for construction of fully $120,000,000 worth of new locomo tives and freight cars. In addition to this the equipment building com panies have received contracts from abroad for at least $45,006,000. Tbus the business in this country in loco motive and car construction, which has developed in less than five months, totals some $165,000,000. Total liooomotives The total number of locomotives ordered is 2,005. of which 533, or almost one-fourth, go abroad. Simi larly, the total number of freight cars arranged for is 44,346, of which 14,550, or about one-third go abroad. Italy and Russia are anxious to contract with American concerns for perhaps $150,000,000 of locomotives and cars. Our own railroads need both in large num bers. At present the locomotive #build ing companies are so full of work that they can take new orders for 1917 delivery in no large way. So far this month they have contracted for 253 locomotives which filled up their capacity more closely. It is re garded as quite probable that at least 8300,000,000 worth of locomo tive and car orders will be in hand in this country by the end of this year.

Warning against attempts In any state to or ganize new units of the national guard which do not accord with the organization plan for the guard ap proved by President Wilson, was giv en to-day by the War Department. ' As it stands the guard is deficient in artillery, signal, engineer and other special service troops in propor tion to the number of Infantry regi ments. Specific instructions have been given to the adjutants general as tb the units of eafch arm of the serv ice for which each state will be held responsible and In this connection the department's statement says: "Notwithstanding such action, some states have undertaken the organiza tion of units which cannot be utilized in the formation of complete -higher tactical units. While it is much to be desired to take full advantage of the patriotic interest stirring in the country, such advantage can only come through a co-ordination and regulation in keeping with the gen eral and basic plan." The department requests that per sons interested in raising new na tional guard units confer with the adjutant general of their state in or der to determine what branch of the service should be augmented. Ministers Hear Peace Talk; Adopt Resolutions on Pardoe Deaths At a meeting this morning of the Methodist Ministers' Association the Rev. Clayton A. Smucker spoke on "Peace America's Mission." Resolu tion were also adopted on the death of Mrs. Annie Pardoe and Edward Olin Pardoe. Dr. Smucker during his address said in part: "The evolution of peace is one of the most profitabl studies in history. Peace is an evolution. There is nothing sudden and impetu ous about it: much less is it accident al. It is the result of the successful operation of great laws; it is the flower and fruit of deeply-planted seed principles. It demands the years, the centuries, the ages for its growth and maturity. "Peace is not the fruit of ignor ance, intolerance, superstition, op pression and force. The nations now at war will; soon come to see that they might'better have saved their powder and bullets and ships and precious heroic lives and have given reason Its rightful sway before launching the thunderbolts of war? Peace is the blessed result of enlight enment, freedom, democracy, knowl edge, equality before the law. Peace is to come by righteous government. America's mission is peace. And the very genius of our Americansm must he so understood by the nations of the larth that all shall know that our spirit, mission and destiny arc not conquest, ambition, national national pride and mere self-agran dizement, but to all men, all peoples, and all nations, to clvllzation, our mission is peace." British War Experts to Remain Here to Advise American War Board By Associated Press Washington, May 21. The Brit ish war mission entered to-day Us fifth and fipal week in this country. With the practical conclusion of the negotiations over trade matters, the decision to send an American army to Europe and the transfer of naval negotiations to London, practically all the major issues which brought the visitors here have been settled. What remains now is the detailed working out of policies by experts. Much oif this, especially as to embar goes, rationing, food control, ship construction, and the like depend on the powers to be conferred by Con gress in legislation now pending. A number of experts in the British mission will remain in Washington indefinitely to discuos further details with American officials. !

Steel Is Grand Old Man to Altoona Folks; One Son Resident Here Under the heading "Public Ledger Old Folks," the following sketch of Robert D. Steel was printed yester day. Mr. Steel is father of Ard Steel, bond clerk in the State Treasury De partment, who resides at 1151 Mul berry street. "Robert D. Steel, known as 'Al toona's grand old man,' was born on a farm near Ouncannon, Perry coun ty, October 12, 1830. He has the dis tinction of having witnessed the transformation of Altoona from a farming community to the center of what are probably the greatest jail road shops in the world. With his wife, who still lives, he celebrated a month ago his sixty-second wedding anniversary. "Mr. Steel was married April 17. 1855, to Miss Catherine G. Gtlman, of Pittsburgh. Shortly afterward they came to Altoona. The Steel home stead, almost in the center of the city, is one of the landmarks. "Ten children were born to the couple, of whom four have died. The remaining si* are: Grant Steel, of Al toona, assistant Pennsylvania yard master; Charles Steel, of Pittsburgh, With the Pittsburgh Light and Fuel Company; Mrs. Annie Anderson, of Altoona; Ard Steel, bond clerk in the State Treasury at llarrisburg; K. Catherine, wife of S. S. Gehret gen eral foreman of the Juniata shops, and Clarence W. Steel, a machinist in the Altoona machine shops. "Mr. Steel early entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and at the time of his retirement, after near ly lifty years' service, was yardmas ter."

"It is going to be necessary to halve proper police protection fif these gar den plots, especially where there ane a large number of them in a group as is the case in portions in th West Knd and the Bellevue section and other districts on the Hill. These large garden plots will offer a con stant temptation after the crops are J up for the lowest order of thieves to raid them, and unless those cultivat ing the lots know that the city is en deavoring to protect them by making the necessary special police arrange ments, they will naturally become greatly discouraged after a few raids have taken place. • "We therefore feel that it Is a mat ter of the greatest public interest tiiaf these garden plots by safely protected especially during the night.
