MADE PLAIN TO
NEW WAR BODY

Accelerated troop movement is. for the
moment. the brightest spO; in American
war work; slowneSs in the aviation pro-
gram. the most diScouraEing.
That stands today az the main revela.
ton from the first joint session OF the
War Council and the Senate Military
Committee.
Charts and figures. presented clearly
and frankly. showed that transport trips
have been shortened and that delays at
French ports have been reduced. that
every available ton OF shipping has been
gathered to aid in the speeding up pro-
cess. and that all Government agencies
are working harmoniously to increase
the American force on the west front
Air Program Behind.
On the other hand. the charts showed
the aviation program to be far behind
schedule.
General Pershing is understood to have
directed a sharp query TO the depart
ment as to the whereabouts Of con
siderable group OF aeroplanes promised
him, whereas he is said to have had
only a single shipment. AS a result OF
the extreme slowness Of the program. the
war council and other Government agen-
cies are investigating the situation
thoroughly to place responsibility and
to get action. A special probing com
mission is at work. and 1t Is the hope
Of the council that this situation will
soon show signs Of radical Improvement.
Transport Improved.
In the fields between transports-
tIon and aviation, progress was re-
ported. Taken on the whole. the
Senators were impressed with the
facts the council presented them.

All On Same Plane.

All On Same Plane.
But for all travelling, the rich in
the future will be on the same basis
and the same plane as folk in ordi-
nary circumstances who can afford
to ride in a Pullman. The Govern
ment railroads will not haul any car
that is not open to the public, and
that does not carry full passenger
capacity.
As a result OF these orders. private
cars are in storage wherever they
happen to be along the railroad lines.
Many of them are at Palm Beach
and other Southern resorts, marooned
there at least for the period OF the
war.
Private cars are the private prop
erty OF individual owners, who
bought them or had them built as
|hdividual property. The railroad
administration will take any neces-
ssry measures to prevent loss of
such property. In cases where
owners wish to move their cars to

Philadelphia, March 25.-The fact
that invitations had been sent out
for lecture at the Ardmore home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Edmund C. Evans
tonight by Scott Nearing, under ar
rest on disloyalty charge, was dis
covered yesterday by Captain Dom
aghy chief of police of Lower Meri-
on township, and various expressions
of indignation and threats have
been voiced to the chief. So he
sent word to the Evans home that
he would stop the meeting, in the
interest of public peace, if an effort
be made to carry out the plan.
THE meeting cannot take place in
Mr.. Evans house or anywhere else"
Captain Donaghy said. Meanings
coming here at his time, after his
recent arrest, and since he has at
tracted so much attention by his
utterances, would be like waving a
red rag before a herd of bulls. I
have been told in no uncertain terms
by men of Main Line communities
that If Nearing is permitted to carry
out his plan and speak, even to an
audience at the Evans home, they
will tar and feather him and take
other steps to stop him. And the
men who have sent this word to me
are no riffraff. AS a police measure
