NJ ADOO GUSTS
SMALL ROADS
House Informed They Are
Not Included In Fed

More than 500 'short-line' raiI-
roads were abruptly informed yes
terdsy that their services would not
be required by the government in
its consolidation OF transportation
systems.
Their executives. many Of whoru
have received detailed orders from
Director General McAdoo on how to
conduct their properties, were at
first too astounded TO speak Then
they declared the situstion-witn
the big railroads getting all the
business by government ediCt-
meant certain bankruptcy.
The disclosure that they will not
be used came at the House Inter~
state Commerce Commuters hears
ing. Director McAdoo's attorney,
John B. Paine. made the announce-
ment. Questioned as to his posi-
tion. Paine said he had full authors
ity from the Director TO make his
reply.
Only lines essential to the wars
were to be taken. he said McAdoo
had decided. The reason assigned
by Paine was that the jerk water
lines might prove Improbable in
operation, and thus prove a fnau-
cial drain on the nation IL their
owners were guaranteed usual
profits.

Winslow, Of Massachusetts, and Raw

Congress should act to protect the
small lines. regardless of McAdoo's
decision. The latter will be asked 10

day.
My view" said Representative
Decker bluntly, is that the Jerk
water roads are as essential as the
big ones. They are feeders. They
are like the little roads from farms
TO the country highway.
Some are airlines between two cities
reached by the great systems on
roundabout routes. Use them and

REPUBLICANS SPLIT
ON ARMY PURCHASES
Long Discussion Fails to Bring
Agreement on Munitions Head.

House Republicans. after long dis
cussion last night. failed to reach a
decision on what type of organization
shall succeed the present method of
puprchasing military supplies.
Although there was general agree
ment that Secretary Bakers meth
DDS had failed, difference arose when
an attempt was made to propose a
substitute.
Representative Medill Mccormick
Of Illinois. backed a proposal for a
modified minister of munitions.
Representatives Britten, of Illinois.
and Kelly, of Michigan, declared its
purchasing board had been an en-
tire success. Kelly proposed that a
purchasing department similar to that

rest Of Joseph CailIaux. former pre-
mier OF France. charged with being
involved in German propaganda in
France
Though the State Department re-
fused yesterday to confirm directly,
the report from Paris that Caillaux
was arrested on the basis Of evidence
furnished by Secretary Of state Lam
sing. no effort was made in that quar-
ter to discredit #.

The suggestion was thrown out In
several quarters last night that before
the present inquiry has been conclud-
ed, names OF prominent persons in sew
eNal countries win be involved. Al
the same time Secretary Lansing and
his subordinates refused absolutely &c
disclose the character of the informa-
ton furnished the French govern
ment.
II is denied by men who saw the
entire correspondence Of Count Lux
burg. the disgracsd German charge al
Buenos Aires, that the name of Gail
lauN was in any way mentioned In
those dispatches. It is nevertheless
recalled here that Caillaux made 6
mysterious visit TO the Argentine anC
Brazil in 1915.
Men familiar with the scope Of tho
operations of the Secret Service were
more inclined TO believe that the dis
closures came through the very en-
cient, active and extensive corps o.
experts which are maintained in Italy
by the United states.
1t had been generally suggested
about Washington that the revela
tions Of the activities Of Bernstorf
Boy-Ed, Eckhardt, Luxburg and othe
German International agents, cam
from British or French sources. Th'
officials in charge OF the investiga
tions have consistently refused TO re
veal their sources. Men who know o
the work which led up to these dis
closures, however, say that when toll
! in full they will reveal a story Of dar
ing. skill. devotion and romance un

1t is believed that the United State
will permit its discoveries in the Gail

ANOTHER WEEK
OF EMPTY BINS
Promised Relief from Coal
Shortage Deferred for
Investigations.

The empty coal bins will prevail
for another week, according to the
indications last night at the offices
of Director General -NcAdoo and Fuel
Administrator Garfield.
DR.. Garfield, after being bombarded
all day with requests for fuel from
New York, Boston. Philadelphia and
other sections, had a conference with
Mr.. McAdoo. At the end, neither
he nor Mr. MeAdoo would venture
any prediction of the day OF relief.
They hoped for a free movement Of
coal sometime next week.
The two department heads are try
ing to coordinate a system of relief
that will be Incorporating. No de-
cision will be formed until the re-
turn of P. H. Noyes. conservation
commissioner. whom DIR. Garfield sent
to New York and Boston to observe
conditions. DR.. Garfield will then is
sue his fuel order within a few hours
after he has conferred with Mr..
Noyes.
DIR. Garfield's order will order coal
distributed first to householders, pub
lie utilities and the munitions ships.
The non-essential industries will re-
ceive supply commensurate with
their Importance in the emergency.
DR.. Garfield is not convinced that
curtailment of coal used in theaters
of New York or any other city for a
day or even three days will help to
any great extent. He may find II
necessary to order certain industries
to shut down entirely for a period of
a week or possibly two weeks until the
squeeze is over.
Gov. John Cornwell. OF West Vir-
ginia, and a delegation of coal oper-
ators called on Mr. McAdoo yesterday
and obtained his promise Of help as
soon as possible. They have only
about one-third their supply of cars.

By REAR ADMIRAL ROBERT E.
PEARY,

tiOnaI Aerial Const Patrol

Presence of U-boats of the Gulf
coaster even their rumored pres
ence, should awaken US immediate
ly to the danger of the blow that
is sure to come along our Atlantic
coast-perhaps along our Pacific
coast. We should take warning
now before it is too late and put
our chain of defenses on both
coasts, with the utmost possible
speed.
Most military experts and laymen
VINO have been studying progress
sive conditions believe that the
natural development, scientifically
and mechanically, of the war de-
vices will produce a submarine
with as wide a cruising radius as
battleships or destroyers. And the
cheapest, quickest antidote for the
submarine is the swift, heavily
armed seaplane. 1t is and always
will be ready to strike first. ex-
ploding its shells or bombs on the
submarine just as 1t emerges and
before 1t can use its own guns.
Even IL we assume in the process
of development that the submarine
will be able to use its guns the in
slant 1t reaches the surface: the
depth bombs Of the aeroplanes can
still reach so far below the surface
as to preclude any possibility of a
return offensive. II We at the pres
ent time had five to ten swift.
heavily armed seaplanes to assign
to every enemy submarine, the sub
marine menace would soon be a
thing of the past.
And If we today had q thousand
OF these seaplanes continuously pa
trolling the waters within a radius
of three hundred miles of Sandy
Hook, as we might have had if the
urging of the National Aerial Coast
Patrol Commission had been needed,
we should be measurably secure
from the blow which Is surely
coming along our Atlantic coast.
That blow. whether it strikes
supply ships, coastwise shipping or
transports. will be equally as sud

War Department and Department of
Justice officials last night were
agreed, in unofficial statements. that
one section of the Articles OF War
covers the case OF Lieut. Walter Spor-

view holds as the facts in the case
