Embargo Section of Spy
Bill Amended bv Senate

Washington. May ,3.-The food sit

pionage bills provision to authorize
the presidei.. to embargo exports.
Immediate necessity,ot all embargo
on tin plac' for cans needed in pre-
serving food products wa urged.
Tie embargo clause was opposed
by some senators as unconstitutional
and because they contendej congress
alone has Tie responsibility of order
ing embargoes.
Senator Shields said he had opposed
cmbargoing food products, but now
believed it recessary because "of pres
ent outrageous prices and the great
distress in the country"
Upon suggestion OF senator Lodge
the bill was amended limiting its
scope. As amended it would author
izc the president to embargo exports
only when required by public safety"
and not as originally provided when
required also by public welfare"
The latter provision. Senator Lodge
objected. would give the president
power to deal with purely domestic
industries, without relation to the
wars prosecution. Another amend
ment eliminated authority to discrinli-
nate between ports in the ordering q
embargoes

PLAN TO CURTAIL
TRAIN SERVICE TO
ACTUAL NEEDS
Duplicate Passenger Trains to
Be Taken Off and Locomo-
tives Used to Move
Freight.
NEW OUTPUT TO ALLIES
Scheme Includes Sending Roll.
ing Stock and Rails to the
Allied Nations.
COAL GIVEN PREFERENCE

Washington, May 3.-Curtailment
OF passenger train service and ship
ment of the country's entire output Of
rolling stock and rails to the allies
were forecast today by Daniel Viii
lard in a speech before the national
defense conference of governors and
OF state defense coun-
ellis.
Mr.. Willard said the federal coun-
cil's general railroad board is working
on a plan tor readjus.ing schedules.
Other nations at war. he said. have
discontinued passenger schedules en-
tirely, but the American government
hopes to bring the railroads to their
highest point of efficiency by eliminat-
ing duplication and reducing the NUM-
Der of passenger trains as far as pos
sible without mountaineering the pub
1tc.
OF the $4,000 passenger train loco
motives in the United States the rail-
road board hopes to release 1000 for
freight trains.
Send Engines to Europe ''''-
ut is vital that France and Rus
sia have locomotives and cars" said
Mr.. Willard. I'VE viii have to fur
nish them. How can we do it? We
can do it by getting along with what
equipment we have and by putting
into force measures of greater rail-
way economy.
"The general railroad board of the
defense council, comprised Of five
railway presidents, who are operating
the country's lines as one continental
system, is working on these measures
now. By reducing the time allowed
shippers to load and unload cars we
will save 245,000 freight cars for one
trip year.
Germany has reduced the loading
and unloading time limit to six hours.
We can reduce our present time
limit from forty-eight to twenty-four
hours and although it will cause some
inconvenience, it is in the interest
OF all the people.
Coal Now Preferred Freight.
There will be more wartime rail
business than the lines can handle.
The country's systems are hauling
more freight than ever before, but
they cannot carry all that is in sight,
and it will be necessary for the gen.
eral railroad board to decide what
classes Of freight shall have prefer
ence.
Already the board has said coal
must go first, and we are filling the
country's ccal yards for next winter.
What is the next most important COM
modify remains to be decided. The
department asks that
seed and agricultural implements be
moved, and they, too, are being given

SAVING METHOD
RELEASES MUCH
MOTIVE POWER
Hundreds of Locomotives Re-

Plan Proposed by Rail
road Board.
ALL SCHEDULES AFFECTED
Reduction Will Affect Both
Passengers and Freights
Out of Omaha.
WON'T IMPAIR EFFICIENCY

Omaha railroads will curtail their
passenger service in the near future.
A curtailment Of the freight service is
expected later on. This action is in
line with the plans being wor ked out
by Daniel Willard and other members
of the federal councils general rail-
road board. 1t is in the interest Of
economy and to release men and
equipment that they may go into
other service.
The curtailmcnt of the service on
the roads operating in and out of
Omaha will release hundreds of loco
motives, but whether or not they will
be sent to Europe, is not known by
Omaha railroad men.
Omaha railroad officials, on account
of number of their chiefs being
members Of the American Railway as
sociation and National Council of De-
fense, do not feel at liberty to discuss
the plans for curtailing the railroad
service of the country, but they all
adult that it-can be-and will be. dqas
without seriously impairing its effici-
ency.
To curtail the service, say hrOma-
ha railroad officials and meet the
ideas of the federal councils railroad
board, means that the number of pas
senger trains operated in and out OF
this city will be reduced at least one
half.
Release Army Of Men.
In reducing the freight service, the
plans contemplated will cut out more
than half of the freight trains, thus re-
leasing hundreds of locomotives in
Omaha territory and at the same time
permit an army of men to engage in
agricultural or other pursuits by which
they may add to the supply of food
stuffs of the country.
To curtail the passenger service it
is asserted that the first thing that will
be done will be eliminating a number
of trains operating between Omaha
and Chicago.
At this time there are in the Omaha
Chicago passenger traffic twenty-five
trains daily each way between the two
cities.
Each day, between S and 6:l5 in the
evening, there are six passenger
trains leaving Omaha for Chicago
Railroad officials say that two could
handle all the passengers carried by
the six.
These six trains are followed by
two more leaving between 7:30 and
$50 o'clock, when, as a matter of fact,
one could handle the BUSINESS.
Two more trains leave for Chicago
between 8:35 and 10A0 o'clock, and
