London, Nov. 27.-"'Watch Russia! "
was the word today from a reliable
source.
This hint strengthened rumors that
the eastern front is destined to produce
one Of the greatest campaigns of the
entire European war this winter. More
over, reports of German evacuation of
Mitau and withdrawal along a wide
front from the Riga region tended to
confirm the idea that big events are
planned by the Muscovites.
The Russian line has been strength
ened two fold by the arrival of fresh
troops, vast supplies of ammunition
and many big guns. The Slavs are now
preparing to sweep down on narrow
front toward Prussia.
The desperate fighting now marking
the Balkan campaign is expected soon
to degenerate into desultory trench bat
ties. At the same time, the western
front is not expected to produce any
more big drives until spring
Meantime, however, Russia will be
heard from
Reports that the Austro. German
ranks in the field are thinning are not
credited. here.
But the preponderance of heavy guns
and munitions which enabled the Ger
mans to drive through Poland has now
apparently turned TO the Russians and
this is expected to give them the ad-
vantage when they start their prospec-
tive offensive.
Three million men in the czar's new

Moreover the terrors of Russia g ter

Washington, Nov 27--BefOre leaving
on his peace errand to Cardinal Glib
bons today, Henry Ford refused to am
plify his declaration Of yesterday, that
he has in his possession signed state
ments from high officials of the Euro
pean belligerents saying they are ready
for peace He would give no hint as
to who had signed these statements, MOI
did he indicate how he mad obtained
them.
Though the White House indicated
that President Wilson IS attiture toward
peace moves at this time is not alto
gether encouraging, Madame Schwim
mer, one of the women delegates who
yesterday visited the president to ure
pace measures, commentd:
"My impression was that the atten
tion he accorded us, his pointed ques
tioning and other things may possibly
be regarded as an indication that he
will do something soon for the peace
cause"
Seeing preparedness societies ads in
a street car here, urging Marylanders
to join n campaign because of liability
of Chesapeake Bay to attack, Ford
commented:
"I'll put up ads myself, asking
who's paying for the preparedness
ads9' OF course, it is the people who
profit from the war"
For half an hour the automobile max
err and the cerdinal talked of the peace
plan and many other subjects. Ford
did not, however, invite the cardinal
to accompany the peace expedition, be
cause Of the cardinals age.
Told that he had been charged with
making his expedition an advertising
scheme, and that his peace plan was 9
cheap play to the gallery, Ford replied
"May be so. Possibly the man who
works and hopes to end the reatestG
human suffering in history is an adver
tiser. May be the opponent of pre-
paredness is an advertiser while the ad
vocate Of preparedness is patriot" "

PENNsYLyANA RAILROAp ys. wArER.

IN HE railroads in Pennsylvania and New Jersey are
4 making determined fight for the repeal of the
so-called Ful Crew laws. Samuel Rea, president of
tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company; Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany and Theodore Voorhees, president of the Phadel-
phia and Reading Railway Company. have supervision
over that fight It is being conducted with franknoss
and an aggressiyenoss that cannot fail to bring
lghtenment large section OF the American public
The three presidents have just issued statement in
which they say:
"sriking figures given by the National City Bank
Of New York n-its just issued April circular impress
sively rele allegations on behalf of the train
mems organization in the Full Crew-excess man crew
Law campaign TO the effect that the greater part of
the stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company docs
not represent cash.
"Ths wholly false statement was first published in
the Railway Conductor. official organ of one of the
tfanmens organizations It has since been reiterated
and given wide circulation.
The statement cites the fact that from 1875 to 1914
tho capital stock OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany Increased from S6S7S02OO to $499 2657OO and
then says:
"li this capital stock represented cash put into the
property ii would not be bad, but the greater part
Of this increase in stock represents profit in addition
10 the dividend stock and the interest on funded
debt
According to this statement tho greater part Of
about $i3oOO00O0 pennsylvania Railroad stock is
vatered What is the fact? The National City Bank
states that ss69S9S6Oo such issued from 1893
1914 inclusive-the period of wonderful reconstruc
uon and development of the companys properties
brought Si25i36565 into the treasury This stock
therefore, realized premium Of $45537 965 In the
time si4lo292S Of surplus income was put into
the property
"Nono of this SS9640S93 has been capitalized In the
period the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
increased its funded debt and in dong stated by
the National City Bank. the stockholders borrowed
i425i9O99 and put it into the property ahead their
stock
1T, therefore appears that with an increased cap-
talization Of say. $512OOOOOO the company, and so
the property has been benefited to the extent Of fully
S6OOOO0OO0
"The National City Bank further says: The total
capital obligations of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany December 81 1914. S7S61552 24s and if
they had all been in capital stock and every cent of
the net earnings had been distributed return would
have been 593 per cent"
That official statement certainly places the official
of Of the trainmens organizations in an ex
ceedngly unfavorable light regards editorial ac-
curacy Unless it is in position TO refute the facts
and figures set forth above. it certainly owes re-
traction TO the Pennsylvania Railroad Company

However, the tremendous plurality
of William Hale Thompson. the Re-
publican candidate Tor mayor in
Chicago, may be explained by the
analysis, there is no doubt of its ma
tional significance. If the admins
tration al Washington had the ap-
proval of the people and il they agreed
with Mr.. Wilson about the record Of
the Democratic Congress. no Repub-
lican candidate for mayor in Chicago
would have piled up a plurality Of
nearly 100000 in a total vote of 600.-
600, by far the greatest ever cast in
that city. The Republican candidate
made his campaign on national as well
as local issues, and he had good
deal TO say about the business depres-
sion and Democratic responsibility
for the bread line. He constantly ap-
pealed to the voters TO roll up a great
Republican plurality TO mark their
disapproval Of the party IN power and
IFS policies. They respond with an
avalanche Of votes such as was never
known in Chicago before, exceeding

IN Charleston at the same hotel of
which Mr.. Garrett was a guest. He
was at first disposed 90 be not taci-
turn although not ready TO engage in
general conversation, but after
while | discovered that this was only
superficial mannerism, as though
he wanted TO know something of the
man with whom he was expected to
chat
that the conception Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad was evolved by
Alexander Brown and if Mr. Brown
planned the construction of that road
shortly after Stephenson had demon
strated the commercial practicability
of the locomotive engine.
There is no doubt about IT," Mr..
Garrett answered. AT all events. Mr..
Brown was one of the first of the
merchants in Baltimore who in pri-
vatc and in public advocated the
building of railroad from Baltimore
over the mountains TO a point over
the Ohio river. Pretty much all Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
accomplished reflects the foresight of
Mr.. Brown, and when you think of
this II is all the more remarkable
because there were no railroads in
the United States at that time. I think
Mr.. Brown was the first man i'm the
United States TO point out what rail-
road development would mean for the
country i'm the course of few years.
In another conversation had with

matte story of the relation of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to the
