TO CUT
TRAIN SERVICE HERE
Will Eliminate Duplication with B. so.
in War Time

The management of the Per,.,,,,,.
Railroad issued a statement la, ,Iah,
that II would curtail washinxton,s rsII-
road service, in order tn eI,r,,n.t.
duplication with the Baltimore and Ohio.
owing 10 the extraordinary demands for
gency.
Three reasons are given for this action
which are as follows:
l. To avoid Interference with the un-
precedented movement Of passeneer
travel on regular trains, that is now
oeing carried 10 and from Washington
IN cohhecuon with the important public
business being transacted there,
2. To clear the way as far as possible
for the movement OF the great vegetable
crops Of the Southern States, a very
large portion of which must come North
over this railroads line between WASH
ington, Philadelphia and New York.
3. To anticipate and prepare for heavy
movements of troops and government:
supplies.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has taken
no active steps as yet toward a general
curtailment OF passenger service on ac-
count Of the war but the MANAGEMENT
has in contemplation the possibility that
such action may be forced upon 1t later
by future developments. With this in
mind all Of the operating and PASSENGER
officials have been instructed to make a
careful study Of passenger transporta-
ton conditions on all parts Of the road
in order to determine in what ways the
service could be reduced with the least
possible Inconvenience to the public.
A similar statement has been Issued
by oficials OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.

President King criticised Commissioner
Newman for his testimony al the open
ing session.
you have no right to talk with a
Witness" said Vahey. who had overheard
the remarks. Il think IL is in very bad
taste for you to be talking to this wit
ness about his testimony"
IT have a right TO talk and you cannot
stop me-" replied President King. Com
missioner Newman ended the controversy
by walking away.
The feature Of the Commissioners tes-
timony yesterday was that he had been
assured by the employees they were will
ing TO waive the right OF recognition OF
the union IL the company would arbitrate
other matters In dispute.
Commissioner Newman declared that he
was in touch with the men, that they
had taken him into their confidence and
instructed him TO let the company know
the right OF the union would not be in
sisted upon. He was advised not to let
the company know this until after other
negotiations had failed

France and the United States against the
common enemy marked the dinner. But
there was no curtailment IN regard TO

The dinner itself moved without a
hitch. with the colorful fulldress uni
forms OF the military officers and their
decorations the cynosure OF most eyes.
Col Roosevelt was seated at the guest
table between British Ambassador Sir
Cecil Spring Rice and Marshal Joffre.
One effect that attracted every eye was
a panel OF a motto suspended over the
guest table. The inscription-a quotation
from the war message of President Will
son-read, To make the world safe for
democracy" and every one present felt
that It was tersely descriptive Of the
occasion.
Ranged in the boxes Just above the
floor OF the ballroom were many prom
inent New York society women, and they
added to the inspiring picture as they
rose from time to time to Join in the
cheering.
Mayor Mitchell presided, and with a
few Introductory words mentioned by
name each Of the honored guests. At the
mention Of each name a furore swept the
assemblage. When he named Arthur
James NBalfour,. foreign minister Of Great
Britain and head of tho British mis-
sion, the vast gathering rose from their
places and great din set up. Cheer fol-
lowed cheer in a seemingly never-ending
succession until the demonstrators seem
ed to have exhausted themselves The
head OF the British mission smiled a
quiet smile.
The climax, however, was reached at
the mention Of the marshal of France
Jonre! The enthusiasm was indescrib-
able. Just as the extended welcome ap-
peared to be subsiding one group in a
corner Of the ballroom took up the Pc
culiarly American salutation II was

AN OLD RECIPE
TODARKENHAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked, faded or gray
hair dark and youthful at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streaked

get this mixture was to make it at
home. which is mussy and trouble

Nowadays we simply ask at any drug

this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell thai you daTkened
