MISSOURI PACIFIC
TO RAISE TRACKS
Superintendent Russ Announces
Plans to Do Away with Danger.
Gus Crossings.
ELEVATE INSTEAD OF vIADUCT

The Missouri Pacific has agreed
upon a plan to eliminate the haz-
ard in connection with the Dodge
street crossing OF the Belt Line. This
10 the assertion of superintendent
Ross Of the Nebraska division Of the
Missouri Pacific, who spent portion
of the day in Omaha. Discussing it,
Superintendent Russ said:
~ouY chief engineer is pretty we'll along
Win the plans that will not only dis
pose OF the Dodge street crossing, but
also the Douglas and Farnam street
crossings OF the Belt line. His plans will
be ready for presentation within short
tirne Instead OF providing for a viaduct
at Dodge street. the plans contemplate
raising the main line track from a point
south of FarnGm to a point north of
Dodge street. This will permit of street
crossings to be kept at. or about, the
present grades. with the railroad tracks
overhead.
I'VE hope that the plans that we have
agreed upon and which are being worked
out will be satisfactory to the city. We
consider that the grade crossings will be
far more desirable than viaducts and
much less expensive TO maintain.
while I am not at liberty to make
promises, or guarantee their being car
ried out. I feel pretty certain that work
on the elevation of the track from south
Of Farnam TO north OF Dodge street will
be commenced and finished this year"
The Missouri Pacific. says Superintend-
ent Russ, has started relsying its track
between Falls City and Atchison. putting
down new and heavier steel at the rate
of about a mile per day. When this gap
10 completed, 1t will give the company a
new track all the way from Omaha TO
Kansas City. the line between Omaha
and Falls City having been relaid last
year.
On the Nebraska branches, according to
Superintendent Russ, about 100 miles of
new rails will be laid this year. replacing
lighter ones.

AMERICANISM
To the Editor Of Evening Ledger:

To the Editor OF Evening Ledger:
Sir--In 1876 when everybody was talk
ing about the great Centennial Exposition
then being held in your city, some one
humorously inclined composed a song the
chorus Of which ended in these words Yes
we are mad; have got it bad-Centennial
on the brain"
Substituting preparedness" and Amer
icansm" for Centennial" these words, il
appears to me, would be expressive of the
condition of large portion of the Amer
lean people today. For, although taking
into consideration the aid we have been
giving the enemies of Germany in the great
European war in furnishing them with
munitions and money, we may readily un-
derstand why in our dreams we should
behold the Kaiser pointing 16-inch gun at
us. yet there is no occasion for becoming
hysterical in the matter; for by the time
the European nations are through fight
ing among themselves we need not fear anv
aggression on the part OF them for many
years to come
And as for our Americanism: truly
America should occupy first place in the
hearts of all Americans But If we want
to be so emphatically, intensively and ex-
cluslyely American as to have no concern
at all about our fellow men in other conn
tries and other climes. then why should we
he so eager for THAR trade? For are we
not shipping our munitions of war and
the products of our fields and farms 10
the warning nations of Europe because of
the price they are paving us for them?
Let us be consistent in this matter. If we
are TO cut loose and withhold all our sym
pathies from the rest of the world. then let
us cease all intercourse with foreign ma
tions, be a world to ourselves and ask
nothing more than to be let alone. our
safety and our duty lie in the golden mean
between the extremes,

BACKGROUND FOR ARCHITECTS

Sir-Learning that money is available for

for the Philadelphia Orchestra. / write to
ask If through your courtesy something
cannot be done to insure the best possible
results. In short may / through your coll
umns suggest that this matter be made the
subject of an enlightened competition among
a limited number of associated painters and
architectsp
1t Is my belief that the subject is essen
TALLY architectural and that therefore each
painter should collaborate with an architect
in evolving this scheme. BY inviting team
work of this kind better results would be
assured than If each submission were the
work OF painter or architect only working
independently.
1t will be remembered the first back
ground the Philadelphia Orchestra could call
it's own had to be modified, and 1t is TO pre-
vent another fiasco that make this sugges-
