America and her allies has been ex-
posed and frustrated here.
Revelations Of the conspiracy were

Three thousand four hundred sur
glcal dressings. rolled by patriotic

bandages was burned. They were de-
stroyed secretly in the rear OF the Red
Cross warehouse here.
Every effort was made to keep the
matter secret, and 1t was successful
until yesterday Officials Of the lake

discuss the poisoned bandages, but the
authoritative information was that thu
bandages had been destroyed and thtHs
government agents. aided by only
slender clews were trying to solve the
mystery.

New York, Dec. 27. Railroads al
most without exception leading bank
|ers and executives OF railroads having
headquarters here today expressed
their approval of the action of Presi-
dent Wilson in taking over the coun-
try's railroad lines. The action Of the
president has. been anticipated by rail-
way officials for some time. In the
financial district bankers expressed the
belief that the uncertainty over the
situation had been ended. The presi-
dents statements regarding guarantee
Of compensation to the railroads will
have the effect Of assuring holders Of
railway securities.
Some bankers at first expressed sur.
prise that Secretary McAdoo also
should retain his position in the treas
ury, but upon closer examination Of
the presidents plan they generally
agree that in view Of the financial phase
|of the problem Mr.. McAdoo's reten-

Washington, Dec. 27.-PrsIimi-

the railroads BY the government at
noon tomorrow moved forward
swiftly today and overshadowed all
other activities in the capital. IS
Altho approved by tho great ma
jority Of railroad mon, there was
soms disposition for criticism in
congress, principally on the ground
that the government proposed to
allow the railways too much, but
there were no indications that the
president's plans would be serious
iy opposed and everything was
prepared for enaeting necessary
laws soon after he explains tho
situation in an address to congress-.
Many members Of the house and
senate predicted that the step was
only the beginning Of government
operation and control and that It
would soon extend to telegraph and
telephone lines If not, indeed, to the
distribution Of life's necsssaries.
President Wilson conferred with
the heads Of the four great railway
brothsrhoods. Il appeared prob
able that the latest demands for.
increases in pay would b handled
by committee Of managers to be
appointed by Secretary MeAdoo.
