KAISER AND ALLY AT OUTS
Split Between Austria and Germany
Possible Over Attitude Toward
Russia and Belgium.

gtOn.-Austria will not battle
for German conquests in either Bel
gium or Russia. There is in the hands
of the State Department indisputable
evidence of a wide split between the
Austrian and German foreign policies.
1t was this evidence which prompted
President Wilson to reply to Count
Czernin as he did. The evidence is
contained in the uncensored text of the
Czernin speech, received here through
Austrian and Swiss channels So far
as Washington knows London has only
the text fiji st sent here in January. 1t
is considered likely that the lack of
this evidence in London led King
George and Lloyd George to disagree
with President Wilson's Interpretation
of the Austrian Premier's speech.
That text passed through the hands
of the German censors. The most
startling point of difference between
the two texts concerns the Belgian
problem. 1t was illustrated by the
following deadly parallel:
AS the German censors let it go to
London:
'In so far as these propositions
(WilsOn's 14) concern her allies,
whether in the case of Germany's
possession of Belgium or in the case
of Turkey, Austria-Hungary, faithful
tC her engagements to fight to the end
in defense of her allies, will defend
the possessions of her war allies as
she would her own"
AS the uncensored text reads:
CAS- far as the proposals relate to
our allies. and in them there is men,
ton of the German holding of Bel
gium and of the Turkish Empire, |
declare that, faithful to the duties of
the alliance which | have accepted, |
am determined to go to every ex-
treme in defense of our allies.
The state of property Of our allies
before the war we shall defend as cur
own" The difference between the
German and the Austrian viewpoints
are accentuated further throughout
CZernin's references to the Russian
peace. Declaring that Austria-Hun-
gary treats with Russia on the strict
mo anneXations and no indemnities"
basis, Czernin promises that not a
foot of Russian territory will Austria
Hungary accept. Nor will Austria
Hungary pay Russia penny of in
demnity. Austrian troops, he points
out, occupy only insignificant stretch.
es of Russian territory.

CRIPPLED ROLLING
STOCK SIDETRACKED
CAUSE CAR SHORTAGE INSTEAD
OF TURNING 1T OVER FOR
IMMEDIATE REPAIR.
Thousand of Empties Thus Tied Up
While the Country clamored For
coaI-Transportation Division Will
Undertake to Solve Problem.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Observation-Disclosures of crippled
freight cars accumulated through the
winter because of gross neglect of rail
roads in making repairs occupy miles
of tracks in east rail centers, and are
largely responsible for car shortage
and traffic congestion, it was shown by
reports of Interstate Commerce Com
missioner MCChord to Director Gen
eral McAdoo. These reports, based on
first-hand Investigations by a corps
OF trained inspectors cover the six
weeks period since the Government
assumed operation of the railroads and
indicate that one of the most critical
ills of rail transportation under pri-
vate management was the side track
ing of cars needing repairs. The
transportation division of the railroad
administration will undertake to solve
the problem of car repair at once in
the light Of Commissioner McChord's s
disclosures. Conditions are worst at
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Harrisburg,
Altoona, Cleveland and Buffalo, it was
shown. The Pennsylvania early this
week had 1892 so-called bad order cars
at Altoona, 1888 at Harrisburg, more
than 1900 at Conway Yards, near
Pittsburg, 800 at Cleveland, ATS at
Philadelphia and $40 at Buffalo.
1t was estimated crippled cars even
at these main terminals occupied SO
miles of track. The Philadelphia and
Reading had 2,O52 bad order cars in
its principal switching yards, cover
ing 16 miles of track. The Erie had
500 at Buffalo, 367 at Port Jervis and
235 at Jersey City, making eight miles
of track covered by defective cars.
The Western Maryland had Ala at
Cumberland alone, and the Baltimore
and Ohio had 144 in one yard at Phi
adelphia. These cars could have been
repaired quickly during the winter if
railroads had made proper prepara,
tions for covered repair tracks in ad-
vance, according to railroad admins.
tration officials. OF the many empty
cars congested in the Philadelphia
yards of the Pennsylvania more than
2,400 are coal cars, inspectors report
ed, and at no time within the last
month have there been less than 1900
empty coal cars there awaiting move
ment, while coal mine operators cried
for more cars, also other serious ills.

Ereioht unIoaded at seaports,

New York.-Continuous reduction Of
freight on hand at North Atlantic sea-
board terminals was shown in a report
issued from the office of A. II. Smith,
Regional Director of Eastern rail-
roads. "Since the first of the year there
has been a steady clearing of the con-
gestion of all kinds of freight at the
seaports," statement said. The
prime effort has been centered upon
reducing the quantity of freight stand
ing in cars to relieve the blockades in
yards, terminals, on wharves and at
landing stations which tend to hamper
efficient handling and for the further
purpose of preventing use of much
needed freight cars for storage and to
release the rolling stock for continu-
Gus use.

Electric lime Service.

A New York state electric light and
power company has devised new cleo
trio clock system by which 1t can sup
ply an electric time service to any of
it's customers. An inexpensive electric
clock which can be connected by a
flexible cord to any lighting socket is
supplied, and all these clocks are auto
matically synchronized with an electric
clock at the central station, which
keeps them on the exact time. The
householder can thus eliminate the Ia
Dor of winding and setting his clock

Eiu Coffee.

The use of feigen kaffee or "fig cof-
fee had its birth in Austria Hungary
about half century ago. Thence it
spread in Germany and the Balkans.
It has been used in France for the last
ten years, especially during the war,
says the Scientific American, and is
found in stock in many groceries. In
the year 1908 dried figs, destined to be
roasted, came mostly from the vicin-
itty Of Smyrna. Subsequent to a num-
ber of poor crops in Asia Minor the
Austrian dealers gave orders to pro-
