SAVE THE MONEY AND
BUY A FEW W. S. STAMPS
STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC

Complaints have reached me from
time to time Of over crowded trains
and unsatisfactory conditions pre-
vailing in some sections of the coun-
try in passenger train service. I feel
certain that there are grounds for
some of these complaints. but I am
sure the public will be interested to
know that the reasons are twofold
First. the great number Of troops
now being handled over the various
railroads between the homes and
the environments. between the diff
ferent cantonments and then to the
seaboard, is making extraordinary
demands upon the passenger car and
sleeping car equipment Of the coun-
try. This has caused a scarcity of
day coaches and sleeping cars which
it is impossible to remedy immedi-
ate1y.
Secondly. the increased demands
upon track and terminal facilities
for the transportation of the ire
mendouS amounts Of coal. food sup
plies, raw materials. and other things
required for military and naval or
erations as well as for the support
Of the civil population of the coun-
try, force the largest possible cur
ta''ment OF passenger train service.
The movements Of troops and war
materials are, Of course. of para
mount importance aud must be Civ
en- at all times the right of wav.
IT was hoped that the increase in
passenger rates recently made would
have the wholesome effect of re-
dncing unnecessary passenger ira
fife throughout the country. The
smaller the number of passengers
who travel. the greater the number
of locomotives and cars and the
larger the amount of track and ter
minal facilities that will be freed
for essential troop and war material
movements. Engineers, firemen and
other skilled laborers will also be
released for service on troop and
necessary freight trains.
Among the many patriotic duties
of the American public at this time
is the duty TO refrain from travel
ing unnecessarily. Every man. woman
and child who can avoid using pas
senger trains at this time should do
so. earnestly hope that thew will
do so. Not only will they liberate
esential transportation facilities
which are necessary for war purpo-
SEES, but they will save money which
they can invest in Liberty Bonds
and thereby help themselves as well
as their country: and the fewer who
travel, the more ample the passenger
train service will be.
| may add that consistently with
the paramount demands of the war.
every possible effort is being made
by the Railroad Administration to
supply the largest possible amount
of comfortable aud prompt passen-
ger train service.

Director General of Railroads.

Serious Internal
Situation Keeps
Czerr,ir1 in Vienna

WASHINGTON, April 8-According
to an official dispatch from Switzer-
land to-day, excitement in Slav circles
in Austria Hungary has been increase d
by the warllke attitude of the organs
of the German parties which defend
Czernin and are making violent attacks
against the Slavs, as we'll as the So
cialists.
Great meetings, the dispatch says,
were held at Prague Thursday and Fri
day. Czech leaders replied to the Aus
tran Minister of Foreign Affairs, de-
clarng that the Czech nations realized
that liberty and independence would
never come to them from Austria Hun
gary or her allies, and that, in spite of
threats, the CZechs would in no way
modify their national programme,
which is the application Of principle
announced by President Wilson in all
his speeches.
In the same dispatch it is stated that
the labor situation in Austria is SO
critical that the authorities of Vienna
have sea Uttered in the factories and on
the public highways anonymous leaflets
asking the people to preserve their
calm and continue to fulfil all their
patriotic duties.
The "ArbeiterZeitung" is quoted as
saying that the people know we'll that
those who are really responsible for
the prolonging of the war are the gen.
erals and imperialists who at Berlin
sumed the direction of affairs

has been obliged to postpone his trip

Bolo Pacha Reprieved;
Promises Revelations

PARIS, April S.-Even after the
action of President Poincare in refus-
ing clemency to Bolo Pacha, convicted
of treason in acting as the agent OF
German propaganda in France, which
caused the expectation that his execu-
tion would not long be delayed, it was
announced to-day that the military Ju-
dicial authorities had granted Bolo a
reprieve. Their action was based on the
representation Of his attorney, Albert
Sales, that the convicted man had
revelations to make to the authorities.
The length of the reprieve is not
given in the official announcement,
which, in making public the fact of the
rcprieve, states that it was granted

attempt also led to no result.

remarked that Count Czernin, for his
part, would see no reason to deny it,
If, in this or any similar case, he had
taken the initiative, because, in con-
trast to NJ. Clemenceau he believes it
cannot be a matter for reproach for a
government to make attempts to bring
about an honorable peace, which should
llberate all peoples from the terrors of
the present war.
"The dispute raised by NJ Clemen-
ceau has, moreover, diverted attention
from the real kernel of Count Ger

statement was not so much who sug-

fAhlS, April he office of Pre-
mier Clemenceau has issued the follow
ing statcment:
"a diluted lie is still a lie. Count
Czernin told lie when he said that
some time before the German offensive
began Premier Clemenceau caused him
to be asked IF he was ready to open
negotiations and upon what basis
"As to the passage in the manuscript
note of Count Revertata. where he saws
he acted for Austria to obtain from
France peace proposals, the solcitane's
text is authentic and Count Czernin has
not dared to dispute it,
"To hide his confusion he tries to
maintain that the conversation was
resumed at the request of NJ Clemen-
ceau. Unfortunately for him. there is
a fact which reduces his allegation to
nothing namely. that Clemcnceau was
apprised of the matter on November
IS, 1917 {that is to say, the day after
he TOOK over the Ministry of War;. by
communication from the intermediary
dated November 10 and intended for
his predecessors. For Count Czernin's s
contention to be true. NJ. Clemenceau
would have had to take the initiative

Thus, Count Czernin is categoricallv
contradicted by facts"
