TO CUT PASSENGER TRAINS.
Elimination Of Forty Is Contem.
plated by Baltimore and Ohio.

Elimination of forty passenger trains
is contemplated in the arrangement of
summer schedules now being worked
out by the traffic and passenger officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The
reduction will result in the release of
considerable motive power and rolling
stock for use in freight service and for
any call the government may make
upon the railroads.
The hourly trains between Washing
ton and Baltimore. it is understood
will be greatly reduced. Only sufficient
number of trains will be maintained in
this service to meet the exact needs OF
the public.
| While a reduction of forty trains
seems like a great curtailment, the
elimination will be apportioned over
the entire system.

Catholics Part in Freedom.

That the discovery of America was
the most momentous contribution to the
cause of democracy since the advent of
Chris was asserted by former Gov.
GIynn.
"Christ preached the message of democ-
racy on the mount. and to it America gave
political application, he said. 1.-THE SER
mon on the mount is the inspiration of
democracy the epistles of St. Paul its
proclamation. With it's letters of :. di-
ton. however, the old world stunted the
growth of democracy. For it's growth a
new world was needed And for the dis
covery of this new world, where democracy
could grow and spread around the globe, a
Catholic monk gave his eloauence, a Catho-
lie king gave his treasure. Catholic
navigator gave himself, his energy and
his brains"
Mr.. Glynn named scores of Catholics
who had taken an active part in the
fact that George Washington at the
end of the revolutionary war had writ
ten a letter of thanks to the Catholics
of the United States for the services
they rendered in making this country
free.
The patriotism being given by Cath
olics today, he said. "is no mere lip
service. 1t is practical as well as ideal
1t calls upon man, woman and child
alike"
After citing the deeds of many OF
| the best known history makers who
| were of Catholic faith the former gov

These are the reasons why today

My Country. 'Tis of Thee the great

BY LOWELL MELLETr

London, March 23.-Brit-

saw a play for time as the

It is an attempt to hus-

her submarine blockade will

tion.
According to the British military
experts, Germany's leaders have fore
seen the necessity of combating very
soon an offensive from the entente of
unprecedented power.

President Rae of Pennsyl-

Washington, March ga general
increase from 10 to Is per cent in all
freight and passenger rates to cover
the increased cost of operation under
the Adamson law. is asked by all the
railroads of the country, in a petition
laid before the interstate commerce
commission, the receipt of which was
announced today.
1t was stated the roads have met
other heavy expenses besides the
Adamson wage increase, and that they
went to get themselves in shape to
serve the country efficiently in time
of war.
Request was made for blanket in
crease to facilitate prompt action, the
roads explained.
STATEMENT BY RAE.
In presenting the case for the rail-
roads, President Rae of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, stated:
I'VE realize that the condition OF
the railroads today presents a men
ace to the country. not alone to the
owners of the property, but affecting
directly the international situation. 1t
is absolutely essential that the rail-
roads shall be in splendid working
order.
Under present conditions, rates and
revenues Of the carriers we believe this
to be impossible.
THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
"Uppermost in our minds is that we
are facing a national emergency in
which the railroads must be a most ef-
the country, its industries and it's peo-
pie.
1.-THE most reasonable ind plornpt ac-
ton is required in our judgment. Even
apart from that of the national emer-
gency the facts Of the situation are
that we already are confronted with
increased expenses on account of fuel
supplies and materials, wages and
taxes, as well as the increasing diff
culties OF raising new capital on rea-
sonable terms, on account of the ex-
isting conditions.
BENEFIT TO THE COUNTRY.
AN examination of the conditions
which the carriers are facing convinces
us that there will be a serious reduc-
tion of the net operating incomes of
the carriers due to, several causes. We,
therefore. deem 1t very essential that
the situation should be clearly dis
closed to the commission.
Under the existing international
complications and exceptional indus
trial activity. the necessity and JUS
tice for requesting increased rates is
SO clear and pressing for the benefit
of the country as a whole. we suggest
that the commission will; realize the
importance of having the railroads in
stronger financial position.
That can be done only by prompt
and liberal consideration. so that they
may place themselves in a stronger
physical condition to meet all the de-
mands of the country, and that in
creased rates required will be prompt
ly granted without any suspension OF
the tariffs ard TO avoid tedious delay
and expense of compiling and printing
tariffs Tor all the railroads OF the coun-
try until the commission has decided
the question"
