sioner to Europe. who has lately re-
turned to Paris after establishing re-

The nation was stunned. A vicious
propaganda had spread the report that
the United States was not friendly to
Italy. Congress was not in session.: the
Army could not yet act. But the Red
Cross carried the message of our peo-
pie in our ally's hour of distress.
Within a short time after the arrival
of the Red Cross forces they had estab-
lished warehouses, distributed every
sort of hospital supplies and foodstuffs,
conducted soup kitchens, established
workshops for refugees and relatives of
soldiers. distributed stores of condensed
milk to children, arranged for refugee
colonies to be transported with their
tools. had the first unit of motor am
balances on the road from Paris to
Milan and were administering various
forms of relief at fifteen of the largest
Italian cities.

The action of President Wilson in
taking over the railroads probably will
have the result of curtailing. or. per-
haps halting altogether, Investigations
ordered by the Senate into the coal
shortage and into the proposals OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission in re-
gard to solving the railroad problems
now confronting the country.
The coal shortage is believed to be
due in large part to the failure to move
the coal promptly. With the railroads
under government control. 1t is ex-
pected the government will be given an
opportunity to deal with the situation
before anything further is undertaken
along that line. However, coal prices
fixed by the fuel administration and the
production of coal are subjects that
may stin be investigated by the Senate
committee on manufactures.

by Senator Cummins. vas ordered made
by the Senate interstate commerce COM
mittee.
1t had been planned to start this in

quest of the President ii was held up.
His action in taking control of the
roads, it is believed, may put an end to
the proposal for an investigation.
Much Legislation for Committee.
1t was pointed out that the Senate
committee will be called upon to nan
die the legislation which the PRESIDENT
has asked to guarantee the holders or
railroad securities a return on their
investments and to provide necessary
improvements and repairs to MAINTAIN
the roads in efficient state during gov
eminent control. While this legislation
is under consideration by the commit
tee the entire subject of railway trans
portation will be before the committee.
The Senate interstate commerce COM
mittee will meet tomorrow. AT that
time a line of procedure with regard
to railroad matters may be adopted.
Senator Smith of South Carolina, the
ranking democratic member of the
committee. and Senator Pomerene of
Ohio, the next man on the committee,
are both expected to be here for the
meeting. Both are aspirants. it is said.
for the Craftsmanship of this important
committee, to succeed the late Senator
Newlands of Nevada. A dispatch from
South Carolina was to the effect that
Senator Smith would insist upon his
right to the Craftsmanship under the
