ENJOYS TRAIN HERE
UNDER STRICT GUARD

When Count Won Bernstorff passed
through Philadelphia early this morning the
only activity around his special train was
that Of the police. The party's personnel
was taken care OF inside the train by a
score of Secret Service men under the
captaincy of William Nye. Outside the
Pennsylvania Railroad police were sta
toned.
The railroad never carried a President
with more attention than is accorded the
retiring Ambassador The order for such
care had come direct from the Secretary of
State in the form of a request, and 1t was
followed to the last degree.
There were special policemen and more
secrecy than the railroad has found II
necessary In long time to use. Before
the train came through and even after II
had gone. the slightest detail of arrange
ment was denied to the questioner.
We're virtually ordered By the Govern
ment to say nothing" was what the men
higher up would say, and the subordinates
and the special policemen said 1t meant
losing their jobs II they talked.
The special came through here at $3.50
a. m., running on virtually the same time
as the express that left Washington for
New York at 1910. It carried three
coaches and two baggage cars. It stopped at
West Philadelphia for Just a moment and
made no stop at North Philadelphia. Broad
Street Station was not entered.
While here. as at Wilmington. everything
was entirely quiet aboard, the Count and
all those with him having retired as soon as
they left Union Station in Washington, and
there was nothing permitted to disturb
them while en- route.
No Secret Service men were visible at
the stops in Wilmington or here, and the
railroads own policemen saw to 1t that
no one got near the train.

GIGANTIC LAND AND SEA
DRIVE NOW GERMAN PLAN

LONDON. Feb. 14.-German public
opinion is rapidly being crystallized toward
a new and powerful offensive on land and
sea which will entirely disregard neutral
rights or the restriction of international
law, according to dispatches reaching Lon
don today.
The unrestricted submarine warfare can
now be put into full swing. the period Of
grace for neutral vessels to get out of the
war zone having expired.
Troop movements in Germany in prepara-
ton for the spring campaign have been in
progress for several weeks. Everything
in Germany is being subjugated to meet
military emergencies. Train schedules have
been restricted. aond In some instances
abolished altogether.
The prompt disavowal by the Berlin
Government OF the suggestion made to the
United States by the Swiss Minister that
a "parley' be held to avert actual hos
tilities Is believed here TO Indicate that
the war party Ii tn full control.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.--One of the most
serious freight te-ups in the history of the
country prevailed today on all railroads

modites between the East and West
Railroad men characterized the situation
as extremely critical Thousands of freight
cars are held on sidings. some of them

in yards waiting to be unoaded but with
slight chance of their contents being re-
moved because of lack of bottoms in which
to ship the goods across the Atlantic.
The Delaware and Lackawanna today
announced an embargo on all freight west
of Buffalo. This closed the lost road open
TO that section. The Pennsylvania and
New York Central have had embargoes on
business west of Buffalo and Pittsburgh
for several weeks At the offices of both
lines it was said there was no indication
of the ban being lifted
Railroads west of Pittsburgh and Buffalo

up the eastern lines. with the result that
shipping is all but paralyzed

than a million tons of steel piled on various
