to Organize Regiment and
$50 Sign, He Says.
HOLD MEETINGS THIS WEEK

News of the break with Germany
caused great excitement among
Omaha Italians. All day Saturday
after the news was received the
break was the principal topic of dis
cussion and it was decided to hold
special mass meeting Wednesday
evening at 8 o'clock at Washington
hall, where an organization will be
perfected. S. Salerno, president of the
Giovanni d Ameglio society, one Of
the largest Italian organizations of
the city, is arranging the details and
will preside.
One of the results of yesterdays S
discussion among the Italians was the
laying of plans by S. Salerno, promi-
nent merchant, for the organization
of regiment Salerno circulated pc
titions among this countrymen and
asserted he had secured nearly $50
persons to pledge themselves they
would join the regiment
I'VE are organizing the regiment
to show that we are Americans first,
no matter waht happens" said Sal
emo. my countrymen look upon
America as their home and will fight
for it if they are needed"
Plans for a patriotic meeting, where
further details will be worked out
has been called by S. Salerno for
Thursday evening at Columbus hall,
Sixth and Pierce streets, at o'clock.
Il do not think we will have any
trouble to enlist at least 1000 men,
in fact, l am certain that that many
will have pledged Themselves before
Thursday" he said.
A. Venuto, Italian resident consul,
in the Brown block, was besieged
with calls from his countrymen. The
consul said that he was certain every
Italian that was capable of bearing
arms would respond to a call of the
president if he was needed. The con-
sui said that there were about 10000
Italians in the city, number of which
had seen service in the Italian army.
He commended the action of the
president in taking the step he did on
the ground that it was essential that
the United States should uphold its
dignity.

To Save Game Fish
From a Staff Correspondent

(From Staff Correspondent)

suit of this weeks intense cold snap,
Fish Commissioner O'Brien, in
charge of the state hatcheries at

shallow lakes and slow streams freeze
solid to the bottom Of the channel. or
to the extent where necessary air is
shut off from the water.
Two years ago, after freeze not so
hard as the present, it was necessary
for the game warden's department to
break holes in the ice to prevent suf.

dead fish appeared the following

Railroads Not In Condition to
Meet War Demands, Says Expert

European war made II impossible for
the railroads to finance any extended
improvements. While traffic increased
enormously following the outbreak Of
the war, our transportation facilities
were wholly unprepared to handle the
commerce thus offered. The railroad
terminals of this country are insult
ficient to properly expedite the nor
mai business of the United States.
During the past year we have been
doing about 800 per cent normal busi-
ness. Thus the railroad paralysis was
inevitable.
There Is. however. q much graver
side to this question than that Of
mere industrial supremacy. Our rail-
road terminal situation constitutes q
source Of military weakness. with
our terminals incapable of handling
our present business the railroads are
bound to face an even greater conges-
ton when burdened with the traffic
naturally incident to q great war. It
Is not merely a question Of handling
large bodies Of men In order to mobi-
lie them at strxtegic points. There
Is the constant necessity Of transport

equipment. provisions. ETC., 30 necss.
sary to military success. This situa-
ton was emphasized during the minor
troop movements which marked the
mobilization Of a small body Of sol.
diers on the Mexican border q year
ago. The reports from the battlesieids
OF Europe. both on the east ana west
fronts. demonstrate how important
railroad facilities are to the success
of an advancing army and to the sal
walton of an army in retreat.

committee ought also to ascertain

manded for military reasons ought to
be financed in whole or in part, by the
