BALTIMORE and OHIO
WILL CURTAIL SERVICE
Plan Is Adopted in Line With Proposal
of the Federal Railroad
Board.

Baltimore, May 26.-Acting on the
recommendations of the war board,
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
preparing to curtail its passenger
service so far as possible and with
least Inconvenience to the public in
order to keep it's main lines in the
industrial districts and coal regions
unencumbered for the movement Of
foodstuffs. supplies and materials of
all kinds required by the government
as well as the public and in order that
there may be sufficient equipment to
handle this traffic under any emerg
ency. The curtailment of passenger
service will release large number Of
cars and locomotives that can be 8uti-
lized in the interest of national de-
Tense.
The first service to be affected will
be excursions and special parties nov
ing to conventions and for other rea-
sons at reduced wares. This will be
followed by the elimination of UNI
remunerative locals and commuter
trains. but this will only be done after
conferences with people affected.
Branch line service will also be cur-
tailed by removing trains as well as
consolidating the service to enable a
mixed train to take care Of both pass
enger and freight schedules.

PRESENT WAR
TO end REIGN
OF ALL KINGS
Monarchy is Doomed in
Grave Conflict, Opinion
of Boston Man

With tears streaming down her
beautiful cheeks, her royal robes ra-
diant in the morning sun, Queen Hell
ena gathered up the Italian flag into
her arms, and. pressing the hem to
her lips, kissed it passionately, then
threw 1t to the jeering mob in front
OF the palace.
what does it all mean?" asked DIR.
Loyal Lincoln Writ Of Wellesley Hills,
Mass, as he gaZed upon one of the
most dramatic scenes in all Italian
history.
The king and queen have submitted
to, the will of the people and Italy will
enter the war;" explained a subject
who was almost frantic with excite
ment and joy.
King Emmanuel, hurrying down the
palace steps and mounting his horse,
rode away at the head Of his army to
Trentini, and never since has retired
to Rome.
"As watched that vast, angry. shout
ing throng in front of the palace,
said, Italy will be a democracy within
ten years" DR.. Writ said in Boston
the other day.
The noted Boston writer and ex-
plorer recalled the dramatic incident
as the first turn in the affairs of for
eign nations, to which he was an eye
witness which has led him to believe

War to End Kings.
"The world war will end their rule
forever" declared DR.. Writ, basing
his opinion on visits to nearly all the
battle fronts and intimate talks with
soldiers as we'll as with many of the
best informed men in the capitals of
Italy, France and England. Even Eng
land is going to do away with her
kingdom. he asserts.
Among his predictions of sweeping
changes in European governments are
these:
Germany will force the HohenzoIl-
ems out bag and baggage after the
war.
Spain will not be ruled by king
and queen more than five years
longer.
AS for Russia, 1t is plain that no
lands will be apportioned to the peas
ants until after the war, the soldiers
will stay at the front and fight until
the end. The leaders of the new
government are heart and soul for

YolVing every member of the human
race. The rights of humanity and the
liberties of all mankind are at stake.
We must join civilization to arrest and
restrain an outlaw in his insane and
frenzied effort to spread terrorism over
the world.
OR. George A. Gordon was right
when he said the other day that there
are some things worth dying for
There are some things worse than war;
favor the pouring out Of American
blood on the battlefelds of Europe,
even to the giving up of the life of my
own son, who has already enlisted"
Right here it may be said that DIR.
Writ is a personal friend of the sec
rotary of war, Newton D. Baker, and
has sent a letter to him offering his
services in any way the secretary may
command. This gray-haired, keen
eyed, short but broad -shouldered

old to go to the front, but his letter to

conclusion, that our entrance into the
war will turn the tide. Then we will
have earned the right to sit at the
council table when the terms Of peace
are discussed. England, France and
Russia see red now and they will de-
mand their pound of flesh. America
must see that not only Belgium and
Armenia get a square deal, but the
German people as we'll

with wreckage, filled with cripples, the

work of aiding in reconstruction Will
mean that America must help as it has
never helped before. That time is COM
ing soon, because, to quote Lincoln's
idea, the kaiser can fool some Ger
mans all the time and all Germans
some of the time, but he can't fool all
the Germans all the time.
Then shall there be no more Napo-
Icons, nor kaisers, nor czars, nor des-
pots, nor autocrats, nor any would-be
of the world. From the
'cockpits Of Europe to the sands of
weary soldiers will rise from
the trenches and sing:
peace on earth,
Good will among men.
And the echo of that song, like the
farmers gun at Lexington, shall be
heard around the world-and beyond"

DR.. Writ had pounded the arm of

the new Russia. Now he smiled.
OF course the English consider they

Queen Victoria was an idol. Had any,

another said the nation would be bet

said he was an expensive luxury, and
fourth capped the cdimax by saying
he ought to be dethroned because he
is three inches shorter than the queen.
What a change in attitude toward
English royalty since the days of Vic
