which threatens to disrupt the league
There was confidence expressed, how
ever that the knotty problems would
be untangled before morning.
The first defeat for the Irish club
to have its charges sustained before
the governing and executive commit
tees came when the allegations were
brought. up that the Hockey club and
st. Nicholas players OF this city had
been playing both with and against
players using assumed names. The
vote of the joint committee in ses-
sion was in generation of this charge.
!. Such a charge Of the Irish-American
A. c. was regarded as an outcome Of
the refusal on Monday night of the
governing committee to reinstate Alex
Wellington, an Irish club star, in full
amateur eligibility.
The Arena Hockey club Of Boston
also came up for scrutiny last night
on account of the charges that its
team of seven performers on ice had
played against the professional Pitts
burgh aggregation.
The Bostonians, however. came pre-
pared with a full array OF arguments
supporting their action, and after
proving beyond a doubt that the team
had necessary permission to meet the
Pittsburgh seven this charge was like
wise dismissed and the Arena Club
exonerated.

RAILROAD SITUATION ALARMS
GERMANY AND DUAL EMPIRE
Service Reduced to Minimum to Provide Transportation
for Troops and Munitions of War-Food
Problem is Aggravated.

Berne. Switzerland, Feb. II, Via
Paris (By q staff correspondent of the
Associated Press.)-Although the most
serious OF the great problems which
today occupy the attention of the
German leaders is the food question,
of almost equal Importance is the
situation produced by transportation
difficulties. Until the present winter
these difficulties were felt but little
and were not recognized generally as
constituting a major problem until the
shortage Of food became more acute
by reason OF the lack Of rolling stock,
the depreciation OF freight cars and
the sudden cold spell which froze the
rivers and canals, hindering or pre-
venting transportation in the most
necessary food centers Of population.
At the beginning OF the war Ger
many had surplus OF railway cars,
freight cars and locomotives, which
had been provided expressly against
emergency. In consequence, trans
portation for two years OF the war was
adequate for all the demands made
upon 1t, Notwithstanding the extern
sion OF territory served. The conquest
OF Belgium resulted In the capture OF
= comparatively large number OF Bel
gian freight cars, which today may be
eeen everywhere in Germany. Poland,
LithuAnia, Austria-Hungary, Serbia
and even Rumania- The factories in
which rolling stock ordinarily Is pro-
ducsd and repaired, however, are
needed urgently ut present for other
purposes. Moreover tho shortage OF
oils has made 1t impossible to keep
the cars In proper condition. Such
few cars ase were captured in Russia
have been found unavailable because
they are of broader guage. The
greater surplus deterforating from
month to month, has gradually gone
60 pieces Shortly before the cores
New Britain herald., 1917-02-17

greatly, because it will merely make
water transportation again possible.
Thorough repairs from the re-estab-
lishment OF railroad equipment will be
possible only by cutting down the out
put of ammunition from factory and
establishing peace-time working hours.
Austria Hungary Under Worse Burden
All that applies to Germany is
doubly true of Austria and especially
OF Hungary, where the gradually in
creasing shortage of cars and depre-
citation Of rolling stock in general are
added to the difficulties imposed by the
tremendous stretches that are single
tracked, for instance, from points only
a short distance from Budapest all the
way to Pennsylvania. Whereas the
Germans, in the early. days of the war.
had men and materials to reconstruct
hundreds of miles of broad guage
tracks In Russia, the process of
double-tracking lines of communica-
ton to Rumania, Serbia and Albania
is increasingly difficult. Austria-Hun-
gary, which is less ready than Ger
many to resort to stringent measures,
refuses for the time being to consider
q plan proposed by Germany for light
ening the transportation problem by
using trains unnecessarily. 1t was
pointed out that the train service
might be reduced still further if the
travel were regulated by a card sys-
tenn.
Women Unequal to Task.
The transportation problem is COM
plicated by the employment Of subst-
tute workers, chiefly women, who
have been introduced everywhere in
Germany and Austria, not only on rail-
roads but also on street car lines in the
cities Roughly, fifty per cent, OF the
women thus employed have been
thus employed have been strong
enough to endure the strain, but even
these women have been much less eff
Client than the men. There are con-
slant complaints in regard to the SER
vice. The number OF railroad acci-
dents, such as derailments. mistakes in
switching and collisions has increased
to an alarming extent Notwithstanding
the great reduction In train service.
New Britain herald., 1917-02-17

pendent left Berlin 1t was declared by
an unusually outspoken German rail-
way officials to be miserable
Passenger Service Disrupted.
From time to time passenger SER
vice in all parts of Germany has been
reduced, until at the present time the
trains, which at this season are cold
to the freezing point are terribly over
crowded, frequently late and seldom
complete even short journeys without
at least one hot box. From the be-
ginning of the war the government
has proceeded on the basis that the
troops must be supplied with all kinds
of necessities at the expense Of every
thing else and even the magnificent
German trackage system is loaded
down constantly with trains carrying
troops, supplies and ammunition,
Not only is 1t impossible for civilians
behind the front to travel without
difficulty but food supplies often are
increased by the necessity Of shifting
troops frequently between the western
aud eastern front
Beginning with last fall, the canals
and rivers had come to be used more
and more for the transportation OF
foodstuffs, partly because boats have a
longer life than cars. Then came the
cold, with which froze everything but
the larger rivers and even stopped the
transportation on the Rhine for
time. Every city in Germany has long
felt the pinch from the lack of horses,
automobiles and other means of short
haul transportation. This, in combin-
alton with the stoppage of water traf-
ttc and the great reduction in the num-
her of trains, has brought trying need
to the larger cities. Centers like Ber-
lin have not had even their scant. al
1otment Of potatoes, flour and other
commodities.

FEDERALS SUIT
MAY Be SETTLED
Parties Involved Get Together and
Discuss Settlement

New York, Feb. 17.-With the
strike out of the way, prominent
figures in organized baseball are now
busy trying to clear up the only other
existing menace-the damage suit in
stituted by the Baltimore club of the
defunc1 Federal league. This suit
was begun to recover damages of
100000 alleged to have been suf-
fcred though the discontinuance OF
the Federal league. The amount was
raised to 100000 under the Clayton
law, which permits litigant to ask
for treble damages.
That organized baseball is negotiat-
ing for the settlement of this suit out
of court was learned yesterday when
certain club owners Of the American
league and Ban Johnson gathered at
the Wolcott hotel Attorneys George
w. Pepper and De Vries, representing
respectively organized baseball and
the Baltimore club owners, were also
present.
Johnson declined to say whether or
not any action had been taken toward
a settlement Of the suit. However,
other parties to the negotiations stat
ed that certain terms had been men
toned. It was also stated that the
National league at Its recent msetins
had agreed to abide by any action
taken by the National commission
and the American league.
It is known that prominent figures
in both big leagues are desirous OF
getting matters Strengthened out and
tho suit settled as soon a. possible.
Time for hearing the suit was nrst
appointed early in February. but a
postponement was granted until April.
It looks as II it will never be tried.
A Serious Question.
Organized baseball does not want
to go into court for fear OF decisions
which may shake the very founda-
ton upon which the professional
sport rests-the National commission,
the reserve clause and the ten day
j -
