ness in the daytime looks to the outsider
to be perfectly normal, it being only at
night, when the streets of the cities are
darkened and all places of amusement
closed. that one becomes conscious that
four of these countries are engaged in the
great struggle for the settlement of the
international tribulations of Europe"
Praises q. S. Ambulance Hospital.
Mr.. Brand spoke enthusiastically Of
the American Ambulance Hospital at
Neuilly- y-sur-S Seine, where, he said. pa
tients OF every nationality are being
treated by the most advanced surgery
of the day He mentioned the fine
crops which are at the present time be-
ing harvested by the women of France
and enumerated many other functions
usually performed by men which are
being filled at the present time by mere
girls there.
Il heard nothing but. the highest
praise for American consul officers in
the countries which l visited" said Mr.
Brand. II was told by natives how each
and all of them spent their own money
in the interests of stranded tourists at
the beginning of hostilities. with no
houses to harbor those without shelter"
Few Tourists in Switzerland.
There are but few tourists in Switzer-
land, according to Mr.. Brand, who after
crossing the English channel on mill
tary boat conveyed by a destroyer and
an airship. made note Of one of the prin-
cipal inconveniences to which Londoners
are being subjected at the present time.
Citizens Of London. as you know said
Mr.. Brand, have custom Of summoning
cabs by whistle Owing to the scarcity
Of cabs in that city the blowing Of these
whistles at night by unwilling pedestrians
reminds one of the frogs in the swamps
of Maine. Laws are being passed to regu-
late this nuisance.

there Is no through railroad service, one

Allowed Moment to Pass.

There was a moment at the be-
ginning Of the war when the whole
duty Of the American government
seemed to be palpably and surely be-
fore it. For good or i'll, that moment
was allowed to pass America did not
intervene, did not move. Indeed, to
assert a moral right she assumed the
virtue Of her insistent participation
in The Hague convention.
'If by this failure she lost nothing
of material importance, and may for
that matter rather have gained In SO
far as her own immediate advantage
Is concerned, she certainly forfeited
post-bellum rights which would have
been hers If she had taken upon her
self the burdens and responsibilities
of interference. This view of her posi-
tion Is fully appreciated in those quar-
ters where American neutrality has
been upheld in the face of all criticism,
and, obviously. Is the correct view"

Proving Expensive.

Where the twelve-and -one- half
mile basis is in effect on the Seaboard
in through freight service--it is
proving very expensive to us. our
overtime payments having grown rap
idly as our business has increased 1t
has not served to decrease the working
hours of the men. but merely to give
them higher wages.
The twelve-and- one -half-mile basis
was adopted in through freight service
many years ago, when the territory
through which we ran was undeveloped
and we had a generally light tonnage, a
very important part of which consisted
of perishables. on which fast time had to
be made, and which, for that reason,
carried relatively high rates. With the
development of our territory. our per-
centage Of heavy freight. carried at
lowered rates, has increased rapidly
To move this heavier freight economi-
cally and to avoid congestion on our
single track line. it has been necessary
to increase our trainload, and in doing
this on twelve -one half-mile- :
speed basis we have had to make heavy
overtime payments. To have run
lighter trans, and, consequently. more
trains. would have meant even greater
overtime payments on account Of con-
gestion occasioned by such methods.

that in the appointment of a commits
sion by Congress to Investigate all

proposal it may be possible ito discover
the best permanent basis Of arbitra-
tion," are pointed out as strengthen
ing this belief that he is planning for a
compulsory arbitration measure.
1t was said in administration cir
cles. however, that the President had
no particular plan in mind for avoid

posed compulsory arbitration laws.

the President was carefully studying

making recommendations to Congress.
