Railroad Stocks Active
But Others In Dumps

New York, Mar. 24.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Active interest in the railroad depart
ment which was manifested in the late
stock market yesterday as . result of
the freight increase move was carried
over today and impaired unwonted ami
nation for Saturday short session.
The trend of prices was upward, al
though there was good deal of irregu-
larity displayed from time to time. The
steel and copper group, like most of the
standard railroad issues, were in excel
lent demand at advancing prices, de-
spite intervals of realizing sales which
temporarily lowered the general level.
Most OF the buying and selling was i'm
PEELED by desire to settle accounts
over the weekend, natural impulse in
the prevailing foreign and domestic
situarlon.
The railroads continued IN active de-
mand throughout, and firm, with few
conspicuous exceptions, like Union Pa
cific, which at no time sold as high as
its previous closing. Reading moved up
above l02 and gains of one to two
points or so were general in that de-
partment until well into the second
hour when sales in the entire market be
gan to case off from the top.

WARNS COUNTRY

FOR LENGTHY WAR
Administration Building War
Corporation To Be the
Very Best
OUTLINING WORK FOR
MEN AND INDUSTRIES
Companies Offer 10 Build
Ships On Basis Of 10
Per Cent Profit
By Robert J. Bender

(Unlted Press starr correspondentl
Washington, Mar. 24.-With eharac-
terstate American business instinct
the administration today was building
up its ''war corporation to turn out
a finished product designed 10 match
the best in the world.
The council of national defense met
here today to discuss practical handl-
ing of the measures of war discussed
yesterday in the cabinet meeting. Its
experts will constitute the govern
ment's advisory body just as soon as
war is announced by congress.
In the meantime the administration
is sounding a warning to the people of
the nation that preparations must he
made for the possibility Of long and
bitter war. 1t is part OF prepared
ness program of the administration
to prepare the people to full real
ization of what sacrifices they must
be ready to make; to achieve sober re-
alization of all citizens of the magni-
|tude of the task ahead Of the nation;
to displace q careless optimism with q
studions knowledge Of what is ahead.
Part of this preparation Is in adj
vance of the demands which win he
made shortly by the government Kof
men, money, labor and materials, on
a scale unprecedented in the nation s
history. The administration proposes
no half way measures if it can be
avoided.
1t is known the government is con-
sidering as one of the initial moves
the loaning of billion dollars or
more to the entente allies--pFovided
the people approve such step.
One thing the Council of National
Defense proposes to guard against
and that is extortionate war profits by
industries affected The government
will undoubtedly undertake some spe-
cial taxing system to cut down many
enormous surpluses. However, AmcTi-
can business has thus far shown that
lit is patriotic, rather than greedy.

PUTS END TO HIS WORK
Netherlands Officials VIII
Take Over and Garry
i On Work

Washington. Mar. 24.-Brand Whit
lock has been withdrawn as minister to
Belgium.
The state department made this an
nouncement today along with the state
ment that this government mas also
withdrawn from the Belgian relief work
which has been turned over to Holland
end other nations.
The Whitloek withdrawal was taken
as forerunner of actual war.
For some time the department has
debated giving up the relief work, and
the recent destruction of several relief
ships by German submarines has dis
couraged attempts to run the relief
work in American channels.
The official statement on the changes
said:
''By direction Of the president, the
minister at Brussels has been instructed
to withdraw from Belgium with all dip
lomatie and consular officers and take
up his official residence at Havre.
After consultation with the commits
sion for relief of Belgium, Mr.. Whitlock
has also been instructed to arrange for
the departure of the American members
of the commission.
''The. step. the seriousness of which
is fully appreciated Dy the government,
was taken only after careful considera'
ton and full consultation with all the
interests involved.
Moral Responsibility.
"When diplomatic relations with
Germany were broken off the moral pro.
cedure would have Deen to withdraw
the minister at Brussels and the Amer
ican members of the relief commission.
Both this government and the commits
sion, however, felt heavy oral respon-
sibiity for the millions of innocent
civilians behind the German lines and it
was decided that the work of the COM
mission must be kept going despite all
difficulties until continued American
participation became impossible. For
over two wears it has been the single
minded purpose of this government and
the commission to see that these ten
million of civilians were fed and with
this end in view, the Americans con-
cerued have submitted to restrictions
imposed upon them by the German au.
thorities which under ordinary condi-
tions would never have been tolerated

His courier service to The Hague was
stopped; he was denied the privilege OF
communicating with the department Of
state in cipher and later even in plain
language. The members of the relief
commission were placed under great re
strictions Of movements and communi
cation, which hampered the efficien
performance of their task. In spite Of
all these difficulties the government
and commission were determined t.
keep the work going till the last pos

New York, Mar. Following up its
suggestion of gift of $1,000, 100000
from the United States to France, the
New York World today declared the
Plan has met with approval from every
quarter.
Bankers, business men and toilers,
the World said, had registered unquali-
fled approval of the plan. Telegrams
from editors of newspapers in various
parts of the country endorsing the idea
were printed. They came from Phila.
delphia, Seattle, Charleston, Cleveland,
Columbia, S. c., and many other points.
Should France refuse to accept such
a gift from this country, the World
suggested it might be made in the form
of a loan, carrying only such interest
as would pay its expenses. 1t was de-
clarsd Wall street, through interviews
and letters had swung solidly behind
the plan.
