LEVEL CROSSINGS MUST GO.
European Nations Would Not Toler-
ate Our BarbarouS Policy.

The headless bodies Of our man
gled women at the West jefferson
crossing rise in mutiny against our
barbarous policy of permitting the eX-
istence of level crossings.
Europe, which now seems so
wanton in its waste Of life, does not
tolerate level crossings. They are
unthinkable Not one level railroad
grade crossing would be tolerated in
France any more than a railroad
train would he allowed to run wild
through the streets Of Paris. The
whole community would be out to
stop such a mad business
The American people must in
trench against the level railroad cross
ing The toll taken is too great, too
CHASTITY. And the first level crossings
to go must be those crowded cross
ings within :he city limits
The state railroad commission
should be the pioneers in the propa-
ganda for grade separation. They
should be able to announce at the
end of each year the elimination of
definite percentage of level crossings.
Not a single such crossing should be
left in the city Of Detroit within the
decade.-Detroit Journal.

GERMANS WARNING
Advertise in American Pa
pers; Tell OF Danger to
Citizens.

WASHINGTON, May THE state
department has not decided to take
any action, so far as could be'learned
here tonight, in regard to the German
embassy advertisement In numerous
newspapers warning American travel
crs OF the risk they ran in travers-
ing the war zone In merchant vessels
belonging TO GeImauy's enemies.
Secretary Bryan said the matter
had not been brought officially To his
attention. II was understood, how
ever, that both the British and
French embassies had mentioned in
an informal way and without making
any specific complaint or request in
regard TO it.
The attitude OF the state depart
ment is understood to be such that
IT may take no notice Of the adver-
tisement unless formal complaint is
made.
The basis for any such complaint
remains TO be defined as some Off
cials admit that there is, so far as
they know, no precedent to follow.
The usual course pursued by dip
lomatic representative Of a foreign
government in Washington who
wishes to communicate with the
American public, it was pointed out,
is TO address a suitable request to the
state department, It is admitted.
however, that since the beginning Of
the present war. virtually all the bel
ligcrent nations have made free use
of the American newspaper adverts-
ing columns without reference to the
depaI tment, in urging their nationals
to return to their home countries for
military service.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-Frank
A. Nanderlip, president of the N4-

He presided at the session at which
America financial position was dis
Cussed as affected by the war and
spoke briefly before introducing the
speakers on the program.
Mr.. Nanderlip said the initiation Of
note issue and the initiation Of credit
in the European countries at war had
acted as cushion against the shock.
He thought the effect on the financial
situation will eventually be felt more
seriously than it is at present
The present easy money situation
in the United States, according to T.
w. Lamont, a member of the Morgan
banking firm of New York, who fol-
lowed Mr.. VANDERBILT, was not due to
excessive initiation in Europe.
Mr. Lamont said that only time
could tell whether New York would
supersedc London as the world $
money center Even with its wonder
full resources, he said, it probably
would be many years before America
could become the financial center.
To become so, he added, the United
States must build up new markets.
The meeting closed tonight with a
discussion of Americas possible con-
tributiOn to a constructive peace.
Speakers included August SChvan, for
mer Swedish diplomat; Oscar 5.
Straus, former ambassador to Turkey,
and Morris Hillqutt, New York.
