PRESIDENT MAY TAKE
OVER ALL RAILROADS
Members of Cabinet Are Try
ing Him Strongly to Take
Such Action

Washington, Dee. 11.-Members of
President Wilson s cabinet today were
bringing pressure to bear on him to
take over the railroads and run them
for the period of the war.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
it was learned today on unquestionable
authority, is the leading advocate of
government control. He urged the pres
ident to cut the gordian knot of the
whole transportation problem by ssiz-
ing the country 5 railroads and doing
anything necessary to insure their ef-
ficient operation to win the war.
McAdoo and other cabinet members
pressed their views at this afternoon s
cabinet meeting. The same high au-
thority stated that the president will
undoubtedly go before congress with q
railroad message. This message is to
be written after today's cabinet meet
ing.
it was learned that it will include
proposals which the railroads regard
as strong measures" in view of the
railroad executives program as out
lined to the president yesterday.
The president is declared to have
flatly rejected the railroad terms of
higher rates, draft exemption for rail
way employees and government aid in
obtaining financial credits.
As the result the railroads war board
sought an appointment with the pres
ident to make last stand. He will re-
ceive them tomorrow afternoon at the
white house.
"Our consistent effort has been to
be OF service to the nation, in time of
war;" said Chairman Fairfax Harri-
SON of the board today.
"We hope that we may be able to
be of assistance to the president in
respect of any action he may contem-
plate.

Henry Ford IS Views

New York, Dec. 11.-Lighter rail-
road equipment and unified trans
portation system will solve America s
railroad problem, Henry Ford declared
today in a statement to the New York
Evening Mail
Ford asserted that steel Of great
strength but much less weight could
be used by the roads to reduce operat-
ing costs.
"The freight car weighs as much as
the load it carries, said Ford. "Gen-
orally, it travels two thirds full and
comes back empty. Passenger trains
weigh fifty to one hundred and fifty
times as much as the passengers in
them.
Ford declared the banking interests
that control railroads are so busy fig
uring on profits that they don t know
what ails their own transportation sys-
tens.
Railroad management requires
technically trained men who know how
to run engines, machines, dig tunnels
and design better equipment, he said
1.-THE railroad situation is like a
man who has been so busily engaged
for thirty years in working on the mod
ell of a new invention that he does not
see what is going on. Now he looks up,
only to find that his model is out of
date and not good enough.
"The United States needs one uni
fled railway system, tying together all
lparts of the country.
"Through the proxy system, control
of our railroads has passed largely to
bankers living in New York and other
large cities.
Ford said that four fifths of a rail
road S work today is hauling the dead
weight of its own equipment and that
frequent rate increases to protect
stocks and bonds would not relieve the
situation He declared that concrete
highways should be built so trucks and
automobiles can take over the short
haul work which now congests rail
ways. that superfluous rail lines be
eliminated, all parts of the country
tapped by railroads and both pasen
ger and freight rates reduced
"America is land of great dis
tances and cheap, easy travelling anc
erficient, inexpensive freight service
are necessities, he said.
Alley steels of high tensile strength
can be made to reduce railroad weight!
Ford said.

HERMAN AND TENER
WILL FIGHT IT OUT
Battle For Control Of National
League May Be Decided
Today
By H. c. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Dec. 11.-Who g who in
the National league probably will be
decided today At least some progress
lin that direction will be made when
Garry Hermann, chairman of the ma
tional commission, and John K. Pener,
president of the National league, be-
gin exchanging glares across the gheen
table in the stateroom at the Waldorf.
Garry is merely a club owner so far
as his connection with the National
league is concerned
Hermann had what some folks have
called bad taste enough to call joint
injecting of the American and National
club owners, to follow the annual meet
ings of the big leagues. Tener feels
that the president of the league should
have something to say about it.
There have been rumors that Tener
would declare to the world his inten-
tion of leaving baseball unless Garry
Withdraws his summons to a joint talk
ing contest. If he does that, it is be-
1ieved Hermann will back down and
take next best. Tener has shown sim
self to be a most powerful figure IN
baseball. He said last summer he would
mot be a candidate for reelection, but
a short time later the league magnates
unanimously requested him to again ac
cept the presidency and Tener said he
would. So far as is known, that still Is
his intention.
1t has been an accepted fact that
the procedure would be only a matter
Iof form, with congratulations already
Iprepared for Tener. However, disquiet-
ling rumors were bandying about tcGay.
They had it that Tener is through un-
Hess he can have his own way complete
,ly.

BRITISH and FRENCH
TROOPS Die TRENCHES
ALONG ITALIAN front
Defense Lines Of Western
Front Being Duplicated to
Hold TeutOns
By Henry Wood

With The French Armies in Italy,
Dec. 11.-British and French troops to-
day are duplicating on the Italian
front the impregnable British and
French trench lines ON the west front,
while Germany and Austria prepare
their greatest of all assaults to break
through.
The geographic advantages are with
the enemy. The Austro- Germans now oc-
cupy the crest and the southern slopes
of the Alps. Their positions completely
dominate the entire Venetian and Lom-
bardy plains. Every movement of the
Italian, French and British armies on
the flat ground is plainly visible to the
enemy.
The Brenta, Piave, Adige and other
valleys traverse the. Alps and furnish
doorways for an invasion which are
exceedingly difficult of defense.
Behind the enemy s lines the Alps are
traversed east and west by roadways
permitting rapid transfer of troops and
materials for sudden, changing attacks.
They furnish great arteries of commun-
ication from east to west of the Piave
or even from west of Lake Garda.
Any success to an attack like the
present one on the Asiago plateau would
force immediate abandonment of the
Piave line. 1t would mean a retreat by
the Italians either to the Adige or the
Po lines.
Not only does the actual battle. line
contour thus favor the enemy, but Ger
many and Austria both have access to
the easiest and most direct Alpine pass
es for the line of communications back
home. One of these is the historic Bren-
ner path-between Innsbruck and Trent.
1t was over this way that the German
armies crossed and invaded the Vene-
tian plains during the middle ages con-
flicts between Germany and the Papacy.
The French and British veterans have
taken over vulnerable sectors of the
italian line. They have already made
themselves almost at home. Their
trenches and dugouts are modelled exact
ly along the lines of those from which
French and British held the German in
vasion into Belgium and France to a
standstill.
General Pepino Garibaldi, who, fol
lowing the American Mexican war
fought in the French foreign legion, is
now fighting alongside French soldiers
again. He remained in the foreign le-
gion until Italy came into the war and
then Joined her forces. The general had
two brothers killed in the foreign le
gion.
