Angry Crowd Threatens
Admiral Won Tirpitz

New York.-Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz, leader of the Fatherland par
ty. and one of the most rabId of Pan
T<'manists. had a narrow escape from
being handled roughly by an angry
crowd at the railroad station at
Freienwalde, Brandenburg. recently
according to a letter published in
"Norwaerts," of Berlin, a copy of
which has been received here. A pas
senger train was crowded and excit-
ed passengers were struggling to get
on when one saw a compartment
in which sat one man by himself.
rush was made for the compart-
ment, but the door was not opened.
Force was about to be used when the
conductor opened the compartment.
The lone passenger looked at the in
truders, removed his hat to show his
bald head and stroke his beard. 1t
was Admiral Won tirpitz. He main
tained n studied silence even, when
some one stepped up to him and cried
out
Yes. that's the way the FNtherland
people are. They reserve for them
selves the comfortable compartments
and don't car If the people next door
are crushed to DEATH"
No reply was vouched and no pas
senger dared take a seat in the Ad-
mirais compartment.

ASKS S5OOh|LLIONS
 TORUN RAILROADS
president Would Pay Owners at Rate of Net Incomes During Past Three Years-COmmOn Interest
 and Safety First Consideration.

Washington, Jan 4.-presidenI Wilson today laid before Congress in a joint session, his recommenda- lions for carrying out government operation of the railroads.
 Bills carrying out the presidents ideas already have been prepared and they were immediately intro- duced with plans for prompt con- sideration.
 The administration bill for the government operation of the rail- roads proposes that the government pay compensation at an annual rate as near as possible to the net operating income for the three years ending June 30. 1917.
 The bills would appropriate $500,- 0O0,0O0 to be used as a revolving fund" with the excess earnings of the road for the operation of the law.
 Only by government operation, V President Wilson declared in his ad- dress to Congress, could the unity necessary be obtained, and" he added, the existing organizations of the railroads be disturbed as little as possible.
 The president laid special stress on the guarantees to the roads and their stockholders. The financial ar gument, he said, was one of strong arguments for assuming control of the railroads at this time.
 To guarantee proper returns to the roads, the president recom- mended that Congress provide com pensation at the rate of the same net operating income as the roads received during the three preeed- ing fiscal years. The appropriation of five hundred million dollars for proper maintenance, as contained in the administration bills, was rec commended by the president.
 Tt is necessary that the values of the railway securities be justly pro- tected, and that the large financial operations every year necessary in connection with the maintenance and operation of the roads should. during the war, be wisely related to the financial operations of the gov- ernment," thA president declared in connection with the guarantees to the roads.
 Our first duty is, of course. to conserve the common interest and the common safety, and to make certain. that nothing stands in the way of the successful prosecution of the war, but it also is the obligation of the public conscience and of the public honor that the private in- terests we disturb should be kept safe from unjust injury, and it is necessary that all financial opera lions be stableized and co-ordlnated with the financial operations of the government. he declared.
 No borrowing should run athwart the borrowings of the federal treas ury, and no fundamental industrial values should anywhere be unneces- sarily impaired.
 Tn the hands of many thousands of investors in the country, the sum total of which runs to some ten or twelve thousand millions, eonsti- tute the vital part of the structure of credit, and the unquestioned solidarity of that structure must be maintained"
