 Shortly before noon the secretary went to the White House taking with him some documents. and instead of going to the executive offices. went to the mansion itself. where he and the President conferred undisturbed for more than an hour
 When he left the President. Mir. Lansing refused absolutely to discuss the situation or answer any inquiries. Then later in the day. when he met newspaper correspondents. he said: "I have nothing to tell you; neither will answer any questions
 He modified his latter statement only to say that he had no communi- cation throughout the day with the German ambassador. adding that there was no prospect of any announcement during the night. Among those cap able of knowing the probable course of the President. the point of debate seemed 10 be whether communica- ton 10 Germany would carry only a warning. or whether it would consider Germany's declaration sufficient In it. self for action.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Collector of the Port Malone decided tonight to modify his order under which ships were forbidden ro leave port after nightfall and several vessels were per mitted to pass quarantine. Every ship was stopped, however. by the torpedo boat destroyer assigned to en- force neutrality and subjected to a thorough examination.
 NEW YORK, Feb. IA definite ruling and instruction from official sources as to future movements of American ships was asked of Secre- tary Lansing at the state department

Lansing Evsdes Callers.

Secretary Lansing began by deny ing himself to all callers. Notwith- standing il was the regular day for receiving representatives of foreign at the state department. he declined to receive such persons as the British and Japanese ambassa- dors and they were turned over to subordinate officials.

Secrecy Is Tense.


 Public officials and Secretary Lan- sing followed the same course they have adopted on previous occasions when communication had been dis patched to Berlin and they were wait ing it's receipt in the German capital before making any announcement in this country. It was a course of ab- sOlute silence. of flat refusal to dis close any information whatever to dis cuss the subject in any way. or to answer any inquiries upon il.
 All the days developments followed this same course which has become familiar to close observers of the procedure of the administration when it is dealing with a foreign crisis.

The activities OF the National Council of De-
Tense in organizing the transportation of the
country to meet wartime demands and the ap-
pointment OF committee OF railway presidents
to cooperate in executing the plans that may be
adopted, emphasize again the essential unity Of
the nations railroad systems and promise an OBJ
ect lesson in national control and regulation.
1t goes without saying that whatever methods
of operation or OF handling passengers and freight
are agreed on as best for our military necessities
will be inaugurated and carried through in dis
regard OF state lines, without reference to state
railway commissions and wholly regardless of
interference, real or attempted, by state author-
ties In word, the demands of the nation on
our transportation facilities must take precedence
over everything else and we are about to have,
to all intents and purposes, exclusive federal con-
troll as the admitted prerequisite to efficient serv-
ice
Will anyone complain that this is an invasion
OF states rights or that it is deprving the people
OF power which they ought to exercise? Not
at all for this tremendous concentration and cen
tralization comes by the exigencies of the case
under democratic administration representing
the political party osensiby committed to states
rights and implacably opposed to federalism 1t
is the irresistible force of economic conditions
and realization that our railroads are no longer
separate lines, but, in fact one great interocking
system that makes it imperative to deal with them
as unit and through a single governmental
agency. Furthermore if this is vital to railway
efficiency for military purposes, ii will follow
later that it is also best adapted to efficiency for
industrial purposes

Lloyd Georges Compliments.

After making all due allowance for the occa-
sion the speech OF Premier Lloyd George dealing
with our entrance into the war will go far to
confirm Americans in the belief that our decision
has been marked by wisdom Words OF common
daton and encouragement are always welcome,
but they should not blind us to the serious as
poets of the business we have engaged in. 1t is
no holiday jaunt ahead OF US, but our own states
men we'll have counted the risk and the cost of the
venture, and so can Judge of the sincerity Of the
praise from the British premier.
The true meaning Of the great world war is
clearly brought out in the address where Lloyd
George distinguishes between the motives that ac
tuate America and those that might prevail in
Europe. The struggle is now plainly marked as
being between democracy and autocracy, between
the modern civilized and the ancient pagan con-
cepts of service All other considerations have
dwindled before this one great central fact, which
is emphasized to the utmost now by the presence
of the United States as an active participant in
the contest.
The faith of our fathers in the righteousness
of self-govcrnment is pledged anew and our allies
need have no fear Of America failing to do its
duty
