Baltimore and Ohio employees today
began preparations for laying the side
track from the yards near the freight
office UP Coal Run ravine to the new
grain elevator which is being built
for Arch Fleming. Several car loads
OF cross ties we're unloaded, sawed
into the desired lengths and laid tenn
porarily along the grade, "A section
OF one Of the tracks in thR yards was
taken up and the new switch will be
connected with the main track in
short time. Some more grading
may be necessary before the track
can be laid, as a portion of the fill
along the site for the track has be-
gun to crack and break away. This
will probably necessitate the cree
ton Of q retaining wall to prevent

war council to assemble here within the
next week. to which Great Britain and
France are sending eminent statesmen,
soldiers and sailors, was stated officially
today to be very largely for the purpose
OF enabling the United States to avoid the
mistakes and difficulties which beset the
Allies when they entered the war.
American officials III all departments
will have the opportunity, it was stated,
to meet the foreign commissioners per
sonalIy. discuss with them the lessons
taught by the war and consider the broad
principles whereby the United States can
marshal its forces for the great struggle
with the minimum of waste and delay.
It is realized everywhere that this coun-
try faces n s%tupendous task in converting
itself. almost overnight. from a peace
basis to a anniversary military, naval, in
dustrial and agricultural mobilization
The problem is to fill all these separate
and unexpected demands without having
each cripple the other.
The Entente Allies. particularly Eng
land. were faced at the beginning of tine
war with similar questions and learned
TO solve them only by bitter experience.

wards meeting the ommon enemy.

disclose the fullest details of the pres
ent war situation. especially as to their
W.T. needs in continuing their opera
tions against Germany. A close study
will be made as to how this %country's
power can best be do~ve-tailcd into hat
of the Entente, so hat the United
States will be free to dedicate itself
only to the essentials and save dupIi-
cation of effort.
There wilN be some discussion in the
conferences of the attitude of the
United States toward ultimate peace
terms.
The highest honors that the United
States can offer are planned for the
British and French commissioners.
The chiefs OF the commissions, includ-
ing Foreign Secretary Balfour and
others of the English group, and Min
