(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Bewe, Switzerland, Feb. 17. (Via
Paris.) Although the most serious
of the great problems which today
occupy the attention of the German
leaders is the food question, of al
rnoieo,ual importance is the situation
presented by transportation difficul
ties. Until the present winter these
difficulties were felt, but wore little
recognised generally as constituting
a major problem until the shortage
of food became acute hy rrason (if
the lack of rolling stock, the deprecia
tion of freight cars and the sudden
cofd spell which froze the rivers ami
canals, hindering or preventing trans
portation of the most necessary foods
to centers of population.
Surplus Cars Worn Out.
At' the beginning of the war Ger
many had a surplus of railway car
riages, freight cars and locomotives,
which had been provided expressly
against emergency, in consequence,
transportation in the first two years
of the war was adequate for all the
tinuual demands made upon it, not
withstanding the extension of the ler
, ritory served. The conquest of Hel
' gium resulted in the capture of a com
, paratively large number of Belgian
freight cars, which today may be
seen everywhere in Germany, Poland,
, Lithuania, Austria. Hungary, Serbia
. and e.vn Roumanta. The factories in
. ' which rolling stock ordinarily is pro
s duced and repaired, however, are
' needed urgently at present for other
; purposes. Moreover, the shortage of
oils has made it impossible to keep
! the cars in proper condition. Such
few cr as were captured in Rus
' sia have been found unavailable be
; cause they are of broader gauge. The
German surplus, deteriorating from
; month to month, has gradually gone
to pieces. Shortly before the corre-'
- spondent left Berlin it was deescribed
, by an unusually outspoken German
railway official as "miserable."
; Passenger Service Decreased.
J From tyne to time passenger serv-
- ice in all parts of Germany has been
? reduced, until at the present time the
J trains, which at this ason are cold
J to the freezing point, are terribly
'overcrowded, frequently late and sel
tdom complete even short journeys
I without at least one hot box. Since
the beginning of the war the govern
ment has proceeded on the basis that
'the troops must be supplied with all
kinds of necessities at the expense of
' everythin else, and even the mag
nificent German trackage system is
loaded down constantly with trains
! carrying troops, supplies and ammu
' nition. Npt only is it impossible for
civilians behind the front to .travel
.'.without difficulty, but food supplies
; often are jeopardized. Centers like
J, Berlin have not had even their scant
allotment of potatoes, flour and other
; commodities.
i The arrival of spring' and warmer
! weather will help the situation, but
not greatly, because it will merely
make water transportation again pos
sible. Thorough-going repairs for
the re-establishment of railroad equip
ment would be possible only by cut
ting down the output of ammunition
from factories that in peace times
were car shops, but were reorganized
for war purposes.
Situation In Austria Worse.
All that applies to Germany is
doubly true oi Austria and especially
of Huugary, where the gradually in
creasing shortage of cars and depre
ciation of rolling stock in general
are added to the difficulties imposed
by the tremendous stretches that arc
single-tracked; for instance, from
points only a short distance from
Budapest all the way to Transyl
vania. Whereas the Germans in the
early days of the war had men and
materials to reconstruct hundreds of
miles of broad gauge tracks in Russia,
the praews of double-tracking lines
of communication to Roumania, Ser
bia and Albania is increasingly diffi
cult. Austria-Hungary, which is less
ready than Germany to resort to.
stringent measures, remied for the
time heihg to consider plan pro
posed by Germany for lightening the
transportation problem by preventing
prospective travelers from using
trains unnecessarily. It was pointed
out that the train service might be
reduced still further if travel were
regulated by a card system.

Applications are already coming in
to the Metropolitan Realty company
for reservations of apartments in the
St Regis apartment house, being
built at Thirty-seventh and Jonea

- weather has moderated a little.
The St Regis is to be a handsome
structure from the outside view as
well as inside. The Spanish renais

Nebraska Optometrists Will
Study Skiametry at Session Here
Skiametry is not one of the "omet-.
ries" studied in the high school, nor
grade school, nor yet in the Commer
cial High school.
' No, but several hundred full grown
men in the state are coming to
Omaha this week to study it. They
will study it at the Paxton hotel. The
men who arc coming arc the members
.of the Nebraska Association of Opto
metrists.
Skiametry is one of the branches of
their profession. They know what it
means, even if the laity does not
know. More than that, they are go
ing to study dynamic skiametry. Dr.
W. U. Needles is coming all the way
from Kansas City to lecture to them
on dynamic skiametry.
Of course, they are going to hear
lectures on other technical subjects,
too. For theirs is an intricate pro
fession and trade. Their work in life
is to make old eyes new by the proper
adjustment of suitable glasses.
Ojj Wednesday morning they are to
havf a round table discussion, led by
C. C. McLeese of Davenport, Neb.
This discussion will have considerable
range, touching perhaps on skiametry
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
MAY BETRIED OUT
Aim of Institution Is to Train
Thos Who Are Unable to Go
Through High School. .
BOARD MEMBERS FAVOR IT
The establishment of a junior high
school is one ot the problems which
the new Board of Education hopes to
work out this year. It is possible that
this feature may be inaugurated at
the opening of the new schoojl year
next September. Members of the
eachcrs"and course of study commit,
lee are inclined to favor the junior
high school, but considerable thought
must be given to the details before
the proposition takes form.
The purpose of the junior high
school education is to broaden thfl op
portunities of children who do not
expect to go beyond the Eighth grade
in their school work, llns proposed
school would embrace the Seventh
and Eighth grades and would in a
way remove what one of the board
members refers to as the sudden jump
from elementary to high schools.
To Get Advanced Training.
The iunior high school would be
particularly for those who do not ex
pect to enter high school. The rec
ords show that many public school
children stop at the Eighth grade.
That class would be given some of the
branches now taught in the high
schools and during these last two
years of the grades they would be
offered advanced manual training
work.
Chairman Wells of the teachers'
committee is favorably impressed
with the junior high school idea and
asserts that his committee expects
to go into the subject thoroughly in
the near luture.
Reports from cities where the jun
ior high school idea has been tried
out indicate its success.
Safe Robber's Sob Story.
Softens Jenning's Heart
"I want to wait for my wife and
daughter here," said a well dressed
man as he entered the photographic
studio of Sam C. Jennings, 315 South
Sixteenth street.
"You are welcome to do so," said
Mr. Jennings, and went upstairs to
finish some work. He was not up
there for more than a few minutes
when he heard his safe door slam.
He rushed downstairs and accused the
visitor of robbing the safe.
The man denied the charge very
indignantly. Jennings notified the
police by telephone. Then the stran
ger confessed that he had rilled the
safe. He returned the money to Jen
nings, with sob story about a sick
child. Jennings let him go and then
notified Captain of Detectives Ma
loney of what'he had done.
"Thank you very much," said the
captain in words that bristled with
sarcasm.

Start Soon.
LECTURE NEXT THURSDAY
Reports of $14,000 gained in assets
and of $12,000 pledged in addition to
ward the building of a new church

A brick church and parish house,
built in L shape with basement, will
be erected in the spring at Turner
boulevard and Harney street, at a cost
of $.15,000, according to last night's
report by the building committee and
trustees. Decision on some of the
details of construction was to have
been made, but illness of Architect
Alan McDonald prevented considera
tion of sketches and specifications.
Prospect Bright.
W. F. Bixter, chairman of the fi
nance committee, announced that the
subscriptions to date toward the
building fund greatly exceeded ex
pectations and forecasted marked suc
cess in the church's efforts to erect
an edifice that would be paid for in
advance by comparatively small
pledges from all the Unitarians of
the city.
Mrs. Georsre A. loslvn. William
Newton and C. W. Russell were re

Washington, Feb. !7. Patriotic
fervor stirred participants at the
closing dinner of the season given by
the Gridiron club of Washington to
nigJit, with President Wilson, mem
bers of the cabinet and others promi
nent in government and business life
of the nation as guests.
Songs that rang with the spirit of
Americanism and demonstrations or
loyally to the 'president w?rc inter
spersed with travesties on the peace
note leak investigation, woman suf
frage pickets at the White House
gates, prohibition for the District of
Columbia, California's part in the na
tional election, with Senator-Elect
Hiram Johnson impersonating him
self, and with other satirical allusions
to various phases of national life.
Sang a Song of Leaks.
The leak inquiry was caricatured
in several sketches, one of them a
musical melange, and another a
melodramatic effusion entitled "The
Waif," in which "Administration
Leak" appeared as the heroine and
"Barney (T. W.) Lawson" as the
irrepressible villain. Introducing the
musical sketch, one of the corre
spondents with a tremulo tenor sang
'Down on the Leaky Way." wliicl
was followed by another sung by a
club member in the character of Rep
resentative Wood of Indiana, whose
resolution led to the congressional
investigation into charges of a leak
on l he peace note message.
J he l-eaky Way chorus ran thus:
Corns whr? the Inffirmatlon oozei,
Down on th beaky Way;
Come sea the Ijimba at play,
Be.ars eager for the fray:
Come hear the tickler cently ticking,
(Jiving the leaka away,
Bee the brokers gay,
They are making hay,
Down on the beaky Way.
The impersonator of Representative
Wood was presented as "William
Wood, the Plumben the Man Who
Stops the Leaks," who sang:
I rome from Tndlanny,
A itateaman grat and true,
And when 1 smell a scandal
I don't care what I do;
Oh. if I hear a rumor.
I follow It for weeks.
For I'm William Wood, the plumtwr,
I'm the truy who tops the leaks.
Jeat at the Suffragettes.
"Hazel Jones," as one of 4hc silent
suffrage sentinels at the White
House, was introduced and made the
target of seyeral jibes jn a minstrel
skit.
"Do you know Hasel Jons?" queried one
of the wandering mlnBtrel-correaponrlnntn.
"Why, yes," was the response. "She l
on ft of the silent sentinels at tho White
House gates."
"Do you know Hazel had an awful acci
dent T"
"Is that so? What happened to Hazel?"
"Why, one of those bfg fat squirrels in
the Whitf iloune grounds hit off her ear."
"That's horrible. Did they kill the squir
rel?"
"N'o, Indeed. The president said It wasn't
i hi squirrel's fault, and the president was
right."
1 must disagree with you. The president
was wrong."
You Can t Blame a Squirrel.
"Well, suppose you were a squirrel and
you were hungry and you couldn't get any
pork chops, or lamb chops, beef steak, or
fried onions, or anything like that, and
you were just a plain, old-fashioned squirrel
with an appetite for nuts, and tor eight
hours in the rain and the snow and the sleet
somebody stood In front of your house that
they called Hazel I loave It to you. The
president was right; he sure was right."
Camping Tonight was a song to
the suffrage sentinels, running thus:
We're camping tonight on the White House .

Give us a rousing cheer; I
Our golden flag we hold aloft.
Of cops we have no fear.
Many of the pickets are weary tonight.
Within for the war to cease
Many are the chilblains and frost- mites, too, '
It is no lire of ease.
What They Didn't Tell.
"Tom Lawson, Barney Baruch,
Charley Sabin and Otto Kahn" ap
peared as a quartet, singing:
"They met Tom Uwoon In the Street,
Barney and Charles and Ot.
Tit said: "You buys appeared to know
More than the public ought;

Wood Asks Sportsmen to
Teach Boys to Use Rifles
New York, Feb. 17. Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, commander of
the Department of the East, address
ing the Canadian camp here last night
declared sportsmen should take a
hand in the preparedness movement
by teaching every youth how to use
a gun effectively. He declared only
one person in 500 in this country
knows how to handle a high-powered
rifle.
"You hear in these days,' he ad
ded, "much about 'America for all the
world.' We want that feeling, of
course, if all the people coming here
will live up to the ideals of this coun
try, but we don't want them if they
bring to these shores any of the ani
mosities of the old world. They must
stand shoulder, to shoulder for

Shippers in Nebraska are now j
likely to escape the proposed increase
in demurrage charges on intrastate
business.
A hearing which was to have been
held on the application February 15
has been indefinitely postponed. This
is taken by the shippers to mean that
ihe matter is not likely to be decided
before the limit of time during which
the increase ordered on interstate
business is to be effective.
Nebraska shippers consider them
selves particularly fortunate in this
matter. The question of increased de
murrage came up strongly in the In
terstate Commerce commission dur
ing the heat of the car shortage trou
bles. The interstate body allowed
the roads to put into effect an in
creased scale. It provided that after
the expjration of free time the rail
roads might charge $1 for the first
day the car was held out of use. It
held that they might charge $2 the
second day. $3 the third day and $5
a day for every day after that time.
This, however, being an interstate
order, applied only to interstate busi
ness. What Iowa Did.
Iowa and some of the other states
in the west allowed the same rule to
apply on business within the state, or
intrastate business. -The railroads at
once made application to the Nebraska
Mate Railway commission for permis
sion to apply the same rule here on
intrastate business.
The hearing has been repeatedly
postponed. . The order of the inter
state commission, being made merely
to cover the emergency situation
growing out of the car shortage, ex
pires May 1. Since the last post
ponement of the hearing it is believed
now that no hearing will occur before
the interstate order expires, after
which date, of course, there will no
Monger be any interstate grounds for
seeking a state order.
