SAYS VATICAN AIDS KAISER
Court Lacking in Neutrality
Appeals to Government.

London, Nov. 24.-The Vatican is
accused in an editorial in the Morning
Post of being implicated in the propa-
ganda which, the newspaper says,
was largely responsible for the recent
Italian reverses.
Reviewing what it describes as Vat
lean Vaccinations, the Post declares
that the Vatican's political activities
during the war "can by no sophistry
be regarded as consistent with the
principles of neutrality"
From the beginning" says the
Post, "the Vatican has leaned to Aus
t1ia's side and lately has furtively,
but actively, espoused the Austrian
cause"
The newspaper calls on the British
government to look into the matter
and demands that the Vatican declare
definitely on which side it stands.

u. S. MAY OPERATE ROADS
IF THE NEW PLAN FAILS
Pooling Arrangement Will Be Given
TraI-Name Committee to Run
Railways.

Washington, Nov. 27.-GOvernment
ownership OF railways is not imminent,
though it is being discussed in every
conference that has to do with the
transportation feature of the war.
Government operation Of the roads,
however, looms as very live posi-
bility of the near future.
The pooling arrangement just agreed
to by the railways themselves will be
tried first, but there are a good many
people of authority in the matter who
have only partial faith in it's sue
cess. The executive committee that is
to operate the pooled Eastern roads Is
composed of the vice presidents Of the
various systems.
The railroads are sure the recent
resolutions of the railroad war board
will answer all purposes, and will
actually solve the traffic problems en-
genedered by the war. If they are
right, the operation of the roads will
be left in the hands of the companies.
1T will not take long to determine.
The operating officers of the Eastern
roads met and created a committee to
handle the railway pool. The mem
bership is as follows:
Vice President Thompson of the B.
& o., chairman.
c. r. Gray, president of the Western
Maryland.
A. T. Dice, president of the Phila-
