TUBE
TER MINAL TO
RIVAL SHARED
Plans Will Aid B. & o.
and Jersey Central
Traffic.

The Pennsylvania Terminal in
New York City will be used as a
passenger terminal also for the
Baltimore and Ohio and the New
Jersey Central Railroad. as soon as
plans are completely worked out
by A. II. smith. regional director
OF the Railroads Administration.
This announcement was made las
night at the Railroads Administra-
ton.
Director General McAdoo three
weeks ago instructed Mr.. Smith to
make a study of the problem.
Freight trains and coal trains have
ueen moving through the Pennsyl-
yania tubes since almost the first
day the government took over the
railroads. This was necessary be-
cause it was impossible to move
the barges out of the Communipaw
docks. There was a great saving
az time and by this means the New
England district was kept from ac-
;ual coal famine.
Director General McAdOo has de-
cided to apply the same scheme to
;he passenger service. From a sur
-.e study already made it is be-
l.cved the passenger trains to be
cent through to the terminal in
tho center of the CITY will consist
mainly of the important through
trains from the West and South ;
and the mid-morninE commuters
Il aims which generally are crowded
with women bound for the shopping
centers up town; and the matinee
trains. The morning business trains
will continue as usual to the Com
munipaw Terminals because the
passengers are almost wholly
bound for the downtown business
section. All these trains will be
shunted of probably west of New
ark.
with the clearing of the tracks
of this large number of trains, the
Communipaw Terminal will be used
for more freight. Eventually this
may be turned into an enormous
freight station exclusively while the
war lasts.

CZERNIN WHIPPING BOY
OF EMPEROR, is BELIEF
Making Scapegoat of So Big Man Thought
by Diplomats to Indicate Most Critical
Position in Austria.

CZernin has been used as his En-
peror's whipping boy. Such is the
opinion of diplomats and officials in
Washington. That the Emperor
found it necessary to make a goat
out Of q parsonage so high is taken
to indicate the seriousness of the
Austrian political situation.
State Department officials are 10th
to comment upon Count Czernin's
reported resignation. pending its Off
cial confirmation. but members Of
the diplomatic missions here assert
that it proves Premier Clemenceau's
bombshel has exploded deep be-
meath the surface of tangled Aus
trian internal affairs
Czernin, it is noted, is a Bohemian.
Through him the Vienna court held
in check the turbulent subject ma
uonalities which are struggling
against the imperial government.
While # is not expected that any
vast political upheaval can take
place in the dual monarchy as long
as the army rs officered and DOM
mated by Germans. the morale of
the people will be still further i'm
paired by the desperate action Of the
Emperor.

U.S.THOROUGHLY POLICED
SAYSATTORNEY GENERAL
Charge of Leniency to Alien Enemies Strongly
Denied-Lack of Federal Statutes Blamed
for Criticism of Department of Justice.

This country has never been so
thoroughly policed in its history by
the federal authorities as it is to-
day." is the answer of the Attorney
General to charges that the Depart
ment of Justice is too lenient with
ALLEN enemy offenders.
In a letter to Representative Gill
bert A. Currie. Of Michigan. Mr..
Gregory replies further that. il
there exists any popular feeling that
government authorities are failing
to curb dangerous aliens, it is
caused "by the lack of federal stat
utes and not by any lack of activity
on the part of the prosecuting Off
cials."
Stories False.
THE stories that dangerous spies
have been paroled by this department

Three opinions are advanced here
now as to the immediate cause OF
the Austrian premier's overthrow
They are:
1. That he has been forced out
by Berlin, where he has never been
in high standing.
2. That he resigned himself out
OF pique because the emperor did
not take him into his confidence in
the writing. of the Sixtus letter.
3. That he was familiar with the
SiXtus letter; that it was written
in accordance with the palliative
policy Czernin has enunciated for
both domestic and foreign consump-
tion; and that the emperor now
having abandoned this conciliatory
stand, Czernin no longer finds IL
possible to pose as the friend OF
the moderates at the head of the
Austrian governmental machinery
Whatever the Immediate cause OF
the break. all observers here agree
that its most significant feature Is
the inability of the Austrian en-
peror and his prime minister to save
their faces by continuing under ap-
pearance Of amitv at this critical
time.

the country as an auxiliary to the de-
partment, operating under its super
vision and in cooperation with the
Bureau of Investigation, which han
dies an average Of 1.5o0 complaints a
day.
Before detailing the inadeQuacies OF
the law and indicating that Congress
sional delays and amendments are re-
sponsible for hampering the prosecu-
ton of dangerous aliens, Mr.. Gregory
deprecates the exaggeration by the
public and press OF spy and sabotage
rumors.
Fire Loss No Greater.
He says that, considering the
vastly increased value Of mer-
chandise and establishments. the
actual comparative fire loss to al
property In 1917 was not larger thar
that of 1919. and that consensus OF
authoritative reports from various
sources shows that in the last year
not one fire has been satisfactorily
proven to be the work of alier
enemies.
