MOSCOW NAY BECOME
CAPITAL Of RUSSIA
Transfer From Petrograd Re-
garded in Entente Circles
as Likely.
NOT SO PRO-GERMAN
People Would Welcome a
Change as Moscow Is Seat
of Present Reform.

Washington. March 24.-Transfer of
the Russian capital from Petrograd to
its ancient site at Moscow is regarded
as probable in entente circles here
which have been kept closely advised
regarding the situation in Russia. The
belief is founded upon reports that
Petrograd'is swarming with spies, that
it is strongly under the influence of
the pro-German elements; that the
real seat of reform for the present tri-
umph is in Moscow and that such a
change would appeal strongly to the
sentiment of the great mass of the
people.
Except in it's lack of communica-
ton with the sea Moscow is held to
be quite as accessible and convenient
Il center as Petrograd and it is regard
cd as much more secure against a
drive by the German army which is
believed to be impending.

MAY PUT INTERNED
GERMANS TO WORK
y. S. May Send Sailors to
Reclamation Projects.

Washington, March 24.--(Spccial)-
Officials OF the war and interior de-
rartnents are considering that in
termed Germans be placed on govern
ment reclamation projects where they
could be guarded at small expense and
given work in connection with the
construction of irrigation features of
the projects. The interned men would
be paid soldiers wages, kept in con-
struction camps and furnished with
the secessary quarters, rations and
clothing.
The suggested plan would enable the
government at u minimum expense to
carry on many reclamation projects
now under way, properly scare for the
large number of German subjects in
this country necessarily informed dur
ing the continuance of the war and
keep them at long distances from the
coast dcfenses and large cities. The
only objection raised to the plan is
the danger involved through the pos
siblc destruction by informed men of

the loss of life and property. In this
connection the reclamation service is
giving consideration to the necessity

tons will be taken at other large dams

AUTOMOBILES AS FACTOR IN
 PLANS FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE
By MAJ. A. A. FRIES of Engineers s. A.. in the New York World

Numerous instances might be cited to show the effect roads or their absence had on campaigns in the Civil war. although their importance was infinitely less than now, when the automobile threatens to arfve even the world-famous army mule ~to oblivion. It is the automobile, with it's speed and carrying power, and the wonderful fexibilty of an army using it, that make roads so vitally important In war today Arailroad must be provided with side tracks, turntables and yards, which, for a huge business such as war, must be very large and take time and great quantities of material in building. Not so with automobiles, where every foot of a highway, unless in deep cut or fill, is a side track where machines may unload and turn around. Further more, in dry weather, almost any field can be used for unloading and loading the machines, as not to congest the roads at the place where men and mate rials are needed.
 The answer to the question where roads should be constructed to be of military value is-everywhere that considerable population, agricultural, manufacturing, trading or mining exists In any great war we shall have to marshal all of our resources, just as the European nations are doing at the present time. Every product of our soil or factories will be called upon for use, and roads will be required on which to carry them to the places where needed. Fine roads along our coasts and land boundaries will be of the most immediate benefit, and should be of the best and widest, since they will have to bear the heaviest and most con centrated traffic. There are number of roads proposed or actually under con struction that come under this head. Such are the Pacific highway, along or near the Pacific coast from Seattle to San Diego; the Yellowstone trail, along the northern boundary from the vicinity of the great lakes to the Columbia river and the Lincoln highway across the north central part of the United States.
 While highways intended primarily for military purposes should be To- cated near our boundaries, they must not be so near that they can be easily raided or captured by small bodies of the enemy and thus likely to be of use only to him and not to us. All roads farther inland and parallel to value as feeders to those nearer the borders. Along these interior roads men and supplies may be moved long distances without fear of interruption or observation by the enemy. and thus contribute greatly, to the ele- ment of surprise so essential to vic- tory in nearly all cases There must be cross roads at reasonably close in-

mainstay of municipal politicians. For 25 years the local political cry has been the Detroit United railway is- sue and the result is wretched sery- ice and inadequate equipment, but the public permit 1t. suffers 1t and suffers for it. IL Is the same in other cities.
 This attitude of hostility on the part of the public toward the railroads and the public service corporations, and the stupid manner in which the people permit the professional poll. ticians to make these companies the football of politics has this result: Railways and public service corpora tions cannot get money to deevlop their properties, increase their equip ments and thus meet the demands growing out of our enormous indus trial expensian. As investments they are more or less discredited because the dividends are neither generous nor regular. Why should we invest in rail. road securities when one can get bet ter returns from other stocks and bonds-securities that are not endan- gered by tickle and prejudicial pub lie opinion?
 Detroit has not sufficient nor ade- quate terminal facilities to meet the transportation conditions that have de- veloped; and I venture to say that no other American city has. The railroads have not had money or encoura cement to meet these conditions The public has seen to that. Consequently the machinery has broken down and ws are in a horrible mess. I refuse to make the railroads the goat The pub lie is to blame. It is up to the peo- nle"

TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS

With view to reducing grade crossing accidents the Central of Georgia Railway company is sending out the following:
 ITO those who drive or ride in auto- mobiles: The alarming increase in the number of automobile grade crossing accidents, is such that L am coming direct to you with personal appeal that from now on, if you have not been doing so previously, you make it an inviolable rule to bring your car to full stop and look and listen be- fore you cross railway track.
 Bells, whistles and the careful thought of competent engineers avail nothing, unless the people who drive cars realize the great importance of cooperating to eliminate these dis dressing accidents.
 They can be eliminated absolutely and entirely If every driver of a car will bring his machine to full stop and take thought of the lives and safety of himself and his fellow pas sengers.
 T shall gladly welcome any sug- gestions or letters from anyone on this subject We are deeply concerned over it. Will you help?
