PITTSBURG, Feb. 10.-William P. G.

How much of the $S00,000,000 in gold which has come to us from over the seas would we be called upon to send back? Suppose the nations now at war should decide to form an offensive and de- fensive industrial and commercial alli- ance and should decide to keep their markets 10 themselves; suppose they should apply the great power of cen tralized government to control the trade of the world, what would be our position then? We know that because of the wealth and securities we have accumulated we would likely have eighteen months to reflect and prepare q plan of action. l am not a tariff eX- pert, but l feel that conditions may render necessary a revision of our tariff schedules. If this country pursues a wise, business-like policy, it has a great future. l DeleNe II can maintain its industrial and financial supremacy, and 1 want to assure you that when the time comes financial America will be found prepared"
 When America speaks or when America acts, the whole world should know that it speaks and acts as na- tion and not as a series of conflicting and antagOnistic groups or sections" said Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, pres ident of Columbia University, in an address. He was considering the ques- tion, "Is America Drifting?" and his answer was in the affirmative. It was drifting in respect to it's foreign policy, and this was due in part both to the form Of government and the tempera- meut of the American people.
 Democracies find it difficult to en- gage effectively in international in- tercOurse. he said and the American democracy even more so than that of the French republic, or any other re- public, because the division of power and responsibility between executives and legislature, between the nation and the constituent states, makes it difficult to formulate and execute a consistent policy.

Special Trains for Gerard

LONDON, Feb. 1.-Two special trains will be placed by the German government at the disposal of James W. Gerard, American ambassador at Berlin, for the trip to Switzerland, according to the Vossische Zeitung, quoting a Reuter- Amsterdam dispatch. One train will be for MT. Gerard. his staff, and family. and the other for Americans desiring to leave Germany
 Ambassador Gerard. says an EX- change Telegraph company dispatch from The Hague. sent to the German foreign office through neutral chan nel formal protest against the cutting off of the embassy telephone by gov ernment order ten minutes after he had requested his passports.
 The Vossische Zeitung confirms the report that telephonic communication at the American embassy was cut off, but explains that this was the result of a mistake on the part of supor- dinate officials. Communication, it adds, was restored by order of the for eign minister.
 Dispatches from Berlin today say an official of the foreign office today called on Ambassador Gerard to bid him farewell. An exchange dispatch from The Hague says the German em- peror sent one af his private secretaries to escort Ambassador Gerard to Switzerland.

Conrad. assistant auditor of tire Santa f'e, at Chicago. were also on the stand. Conrad introduced d number of eX hibits made up of mass of statistics showing the comparative operating costs and revenues obtained from pas senger traffic on his line in the state of New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and California. He testified that the net passenger income from that district for the fiscal year of 1915 was $2.0S0. .63@. F. R. William Kramer assistant attorney general, acting as counsel for the cor poration commission, objected to the introduction of this testimony, on the ground that 1t took in only the western states, where the cost of operating the line is much higher than in the east. He did not believe that this was fair, and stated that if exhibits of this sort were to be introduced, they should contain figures from all the states. The objection was noted by the examiner, and Conrad was allowed to continue with his testimony. Mir. Conrad stated that in his opinion, and he also stated that he was in a position to be able to express an opinion the Santa fe was in an exceeding prosperous condition.
 The hearing was recessed at O clock when both sides agreed that by holding a night session it could be concluded.

He stated that.one reason his road had been pros porous during the past year, was that thousands of soldiers were transported along the border in an effort to quiet the Mexican trouble. He was of the opinion that it would be a long time before the road would be able to in- dulge in such a wave of prosperity again. He said that one reason the F. r. & S. W. had operated at q loss for so many years was the poor water to be obtained along the route of the road. It has been necessary to pipe

 No word has been received from the Spanish ambassador in Berlin since he took over American interests there after the break. A dispatch from Am baSsador Willard a. Madrid received today said the Spanish foreign office up to yesterday had received no word from the ambassador as to whether he had actually taken over American in terests in Germany though Ambassa do~ Riano here has formally notified the state department of Spain'S will ingneSs to do so
 While no mention has been made in recent dispatches of the American con suls in Germany and the American sailors brought in as prisoners on the YarroWdale it is assumed that all of them will accompany Mir.

The consuls will face a unique situation when they arrive in SwitZer- class officers and more subordinates whose positions have suddenly been destroyed. The present plan is to con- tinue all these men on the official pay rolls under a special emergency provi- sion, some going to posts in other parts of the world, particularly South Amer ica, and other being recalled to Wash ington on special duty.

 For nine years, or until he has passed his twenty-eighth year, each reservlst would be required to report in person annually to the registration authorities of his military district. In case of war the youngest classes would be called first After his twenty eighth year a reservist would pass into the great body of the unorganiZed militia, sub ject only to the general laws.
 The bill provides no organization after the troops leave training. but the president is given wide latitude in this regard. No changes in the present national guard system are provided for. To encourage preliminary military training such as that given in schools, credit to a maximum of three months, or one-half of the total required period. might be allowed. The applicant could elect either army or navy service, his wishes to be carried out as nearly as possible Specific prohibition is made against the use of the force ill strikes or other industrial disputes.
 Officers and enlisted men of the reg ular services could be commissioned in the citizen army but would receive the pay of their grades only while on active duty, not during training periods.
 The sale of intoxicating liquors to a member of the citizen army or navy while in uniform is forbidden. An other feature is that men who have completed their training would be en- titled to wear rosette showing the class to which they belong

Enndus Is RenIIn

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 10. (Via Lon don. Feb. 11)-The first phase Of the exodus of Americans from Germany, took place today staff correspon- dent of the Associated Press passed the Danish frontier as the first American permitted to leave Berlin several hours before the train with the official party of Ambassador Gerard was scheduled to leave the German cap!lal
 Ambassador Gerard was permitted to take with him in addition to em- bassy and consular officials, American newspaper correspondents and num- Der of personally recommended friends.
 The vast bulk of Americans in Berlin as yet have been unable to arrange passport formalities' and are without information as to when the formalities can be completed. but up to the pres ent they have no reason to complain of their treatment in any other re- spect. The attitude expressed official ly is that, of course, when these for malities are completed they will be perfectly free to depart, though the date of departure is still uncertain.
 The departure of Ambassador Ger ard has, in the days since the rupture of diplomatic relations, been shrouded in uncertainty and complicated by the German desire not only to assure the safe return of Count von Bernstorff and his party, but also to secure from the American government concessions and pledges regarding the treatment Of German ships, German business and

larly because of the six months train ing period. They declare that even the year minimum fixed in the staff plan contemplated only 50 per cent of the efficiency of the average European re- Quirements for training.
 The staff officers are inclined also to feel that inadequate provisions are made for training personnel. A force of 500,000 men, they say, requires a minimum of 17,000 officers, at least 50 per cent of whom must be professional soldiers if anything resembling inten- sive training is to be given in six months. The full commissioned strength of the regular army under the national defense act will be less than 12,000 officers and it is pointed out that 5000 of these were to be detached for training purposes for six months out of each year training of the regulars or any use of that force would be vir- tually impossible. It is understood that the staff bill takes these points into consideration.

Bob Boardman has sprung another one of his cartoons on an unsuspect- ing public. Just glance at it above. There is usually some rather acute reason for his developing these streaks. He don't do them without meditation and the expenditure of huge quantities of gray matter.

Gerard. Great resentment had been aroused here over this incident but officials have indicated that as soon as the Ambassador is safely out of Ger many they will be disposed to consider the matter closed.
 Although definite information re- garding the channel through which the German communication was directed IS lacking, it is considered certain that it has been forwarded by the govern ment of Switzerland The Swiss min lster here, who has taken over Ger man interests in this country called at the state department this afternoon and saw Counsellor Polk. Both re- fused to discuss the conference, but it is considered probable the minister, on behalf of Germany. communicated that governments views. If he did, the German suggestions were. 1t is be- lieved given orally.
 Ii is regarded as improbable that specific suggestions would be put forward at least until the United States indicates in some way it's senti- ment toward the general proposal for a discussion. The development, how ever. served to draw attention to proposals for distinctive markings Of vessels and arrangements for passage Of American passengers carrying liners in the note announcing unre- stricted submarine warfare.
 It was disclosed tonight that when Count von Bernstorff informed the United States of the new German policy last week, an effort was made to bring about discussion apparently designed to result in the United States agreeing not to take any seri- ous action and that administration officials flatly declined to consider 1t. The present efforts while more or less different in character. are looked upon as being more formal in nature than these made at first
 Some light also was thrown upon Germany's point of view when it was learned today tkat while the Berlin government was arranging for the new campaign of ruthless warfare. certain German diplomats in various parts of the world were notified that while military necessity prevented the granting of a period in which neItrals might adjust their maritime interests. every care would be eX- erted that neutral and especially American passenger carrying ships would not be subjected to unwarned submarine attack.
 The manner in which the new Ger man proposal W3s received .n official quarters left the impression that there was little possibility Of favorable response here. The attitude of of- ficials has been that only two courses are open to Germany-that she must either pursue her ruthlessness at the hazard of war with this country or restore her repudiated pledges given in the Sussex case. It is felt here that Germany has been warned more fully than she had any rIght to eXpecr regarding the attitude of the United
