There are a thousand stable railroads in

The game is worth the candle. Each

There is possible position for you at the

more good jobs there, both to-day and

1t is already necessary
that the man at the very
head of a great trans
portation organism be
more than an expert en-
gineer, a good operating
man, or a keen traffic
getter. The railroad
president of to-day must
be a statesman; he must
be a diplomat. In these
piping days when there
is a commission in every
State, to say nothing
of tho big Commission
at Washington, to tell
the railroad men Just
how they must operate
their properties, when
counties and cities take
delight in getting under
railroad ribs, the big job
is to meet these Solons

succeed in worsting
them, to be able at least

upon the telegraph key or helped juggle
the hundred-pound rail. The Pennsylvania

the ancient and honorable tradition that
its president must be an engineer, trained
if possible in it's own shops. But the
Southern Railway has in its new presi-

on Official Admissions Made by the
Austro-Hungarian Admiralty.
Washington, Dec. 29.-Austria, ac-
cording to unofficial information re-
ceived in authoritative quarters here,
will not meet the demands of the
United States in her forthcoming re-
ply to the Ancona note and Teutonic
diplomatic circles are represented as
being prepared for a severance of
diplomatic relations.
Although the state department so
far has received from Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna no forecast of the
reply it is understood that unless
some excellent reason for continuing
diplomatic correspondence on the sub
ject is presented no course seems to
remain but to break off relations.
State department officials are ex-
pecting information about the reply
which might have been obtained by
Ambassador Penfield during informal
conferences with Baron Won Burian,
Austro-H Hungarian minister Of foreign
affairs.
Aim Was Good Relations.
Advices received recently through
Baron Erich Zwiedinek, the Austrian
charge here, we're to the effect that
Austria would be guided by con-
cern" for the good relations existing
between the two countries.
Analysis Of this phase has led Off
cials to believe that the Vienna gov.
ernment will attempt to argue the
contentious of the United States and
possibly suggest arbitration.
The position of the state depart
ment is that there can be no discus.
sion over the official admissions of the
Austrian admiralty which formed the
basis of the Correspondence, unless
Austria denies the accuracy of that
statement. That, however, is regard
ed as being extremely unlikely, as the
admiralty statement was forwarded
by the foreign Office to the United
States for its information.
