Washington, Feb. 1.-Gerrit Fort,
of Omaha, passenger traffic manager
for the Union Pacific, today became
passenger traffic director for the gov
ernment railroad administration as a
special assistant to.Edward w. Cham
bers, general traffic director.
Mr.. Fort has been in Washington
at the request of Director General
McAdoo, and friends have anticipated
his appointment.
Some of he Union Pacific of
ficials have learned of the opin-
ion that if Mr.. Fort should
join the McAdoo official family
the appointment wsuld be only
temporary or during the continuance
of the war and that for this reason
no successor would be named. Others
are of the opinion that 3. L. Wirchell,
director of traffic for the Union Pa
cihc system. you'd take charge OF the
passenger business. and direct It from
his office. There are, still other rail-
road officials who are inclined to the
belief that If is more than likely that
General Passenger Agent Basinger

the. entire passenger business of the

service with the government.

at Nurenburg, Bavaria, have resumed
work after two-day demonstration
strike.
None of the Berlin newspapers of
Wednesdays date has arrived and
several of them are not printing,
owing to strikes among their en-
! ployes.
REFUSED INTERVIEW.
Delegates representing the strikers,
according to Amsterdam reports, at
tempted to interview Chancellor Won
Hcrtling, but he refused to see them,
as had Herr Walraff, minister Of the
interior. T..
The actual situation Thursday is
extremely vague. The scarcity Of
news induces some correspondents in
Holland to assume that the situa-
ton has grown worse, but they warn
against attaching Importance to strike
movement as far as the army is con-
cerned.
The Berne correspondent of the
Daily Mail deprecates a too-ready
assumption that the strike will have a
serious effect in Germany.
He says no strike or revolt in Prus-
sia can be taken seriously until it has
won its spurs ... -.
Workmen Forced to Subscribe.
The mind and moral will of the
whole population have beentmade me-
chanical by years Of military drill.
It. r1ust. be. remembered too, that
strike funds are almost nonexistent in
Prussia, for. although the worknen
have been earning high wages, they
virtually nave been compelled to sub
scribe nearly all to the war loans and
get no interest"
Newspaper opinion in London re-
garding the strike is divergent. Some
papers incline to the belief that the
strike really denotes the growing
strength of democratic spirit in
Germany, while others favor the view
that the whole thing to a great extent
has been engineered by the govern
ment for its own purposes.
The Daily News thinks it is obvious
that there has been spread into Ger.
many and Austria some measure OF
the spirit which dethroned the Rus
sian emperor.
Government Wants Strike.
On the other hand, the Daily Mail
argues that if revolution is talked
about in Germany, it is because the
German government wants it to be
talked about.
1t says that it is virtually true that
no strike can happen in wartime un-
less the government sees profit i'll it.
In their late editions the morning
papers print further items on the
strikes received by way of Holland,
