BRlTAIN'S ATTITUDE WORRIES
Unbiased French Observers Do Not
Disguise the Gravity of the
Situation.

Paris, April 12.-Despite the optl-
unsteady worded editorials in the
French press, unbiased observers here
do not disguise the gravity of the stu
alton created by Great Britains firm
attitude toward France and by the
persistent silence of the United States
and Italy.
Frances position is extremely deli
cate and it is fully recognized that her
present isolation, following Britain's
turn down note, is virtually tanta-
mount to the breaking up of her war
alliances.

Drastic Freight Embargo in
Railroad History in U. S.

New York, April 14.-The "outlaw"
railroad strike retains its grip on New
York and all points east. Recruits
are reported joining the strikers and
following the regular daily conference
of the subcommittee of the General
Managers association, j. J. Mantell,
chairman of that body, admitted the
situation was exceedingly grave.

in order that milk and perishabe
foodstuffs may be rushed to New
York. Strikers permitted the milk
trains TO reach the city on time. Mil

The most drastic freight embargo
ever known in railroad history in the
United States is now in effect on all
shipments Of freight and coal and
steel on the Pennsylvania railroad
originating west of Altoona for points
east.
An embargo has also been placed on
all freight from the South destined to
points north of Norfolk.

The significance of the embargo lies
In the fact that so per cent of the BIZ
luminous coal used I'm New York and
points east comes from the country
about Altoona via the Pennsylvania
railroad.
The railroad managers welcomed

an opportunity to reorganiZe their

the officials and men will be shifted
from other forces to the mobile
branches. Unless the Unforeseen hap
pens, there will be enough old-time
employees on duty to run some of the
trains on the suburban schedules.
officials are hoping other employees
will not walk out, but firemen are ex-
pected to join the strikers out now.

Situation Better in Chicago.
Chicago, April 12.-Both sides to the
switchmen's strike in Chicago claimed
the advantage last evening, after a
day filed with conferences and meet
inGs.
The railroad managers in a formal
statement, said the situation continues
TO improve, that through and subur-
ban passenger business is running
100 per cent, and that as freight con
tlnues TO move more freely the roads
nre lifting their embargoes.
On the other hand, the striking
switchmen claim their numbers are be-
ing swelled hourly. They deride the
hrOtherhoodS as nothing but a shell"
and say they will stay out until the
roads are compelled to recognize them.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-If the

John Davis, ambassador to Great
Britain, will be one of the first men

This prediction, it was explained,

CARDS Davis as an able public official,
