These changes, which will tend to equalize traffic on various tracks in Mar ket Square, it is believed, will greatly facilitate the maintenance of schedules on ALL lines, and thus benefit ALL patrons. It must be understood, however, that they will not completely overcome all difficulties. Various causes beyond the control of the companies fre quently contribute to delays along the various routes of their cars. <1 But they WILL eliminate the delays now occasioned to various lines by the overburdening of certain tracks in Market Square—and as it is the de sire'of the companies to improve service to their patrons wherever possible, the above changes in operation have been decided upon. Harrisburg Valley Railways Co. Railways Co. TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 1, 1916. ' of the day at Dos Moines in the eve ning. Four brief talks front the rear platform of his car at Davenport, lowa City, Grinnell and Newton, lowa, are on the program for late this afternoon. "We have given to the present fleet of the I'nited States an organization such as it never had before, I am told by Admiral Fletcher," the President said. "And we have made prepara tions for immediate war, so far as the navy is concerned." The army, the President said, as at present constituted, "is not large enough even for the ordinary duties of peace." The President repeated his warn ings that no time must be lost in strengthening the defenses of the na tion. He declared the government was doing everything it could for pre paredness. Wonders at Some Americans "When I see some of my fellows spread tinder where the sparks are falling 1 wonder what their ideal of Americanism is," the President said. America, the President said, had been cruelly misjudged by the na tions now at war. "I know that on the other side of the water there has been a great deal of cruel misjudgment with regard to the reasons why America has remain ed neutral. Those looking at us from a distance do not feel the strong pulses of ideals and principles that are in us. "They do not feel the conviction of America that our mission is a mission of peace and that righteousness can not be maintained as a standard in the midst of arms. They do not realize that back of all our energy we are a body of idealists much more ready to lay down our lives for a thought than for a dollar. "They suppose, some of them., that we are holding off because we can make money while others are dying, 'the most cruel misunderstanding that any nation has ever had to face—so wrong that it seems almost useless to try to correct it. because it shows that the very fundamentals of our life are not comprehended or understood." Rulers, not public opinion, brought about the present war, Mr. Wilson de clared. i "I thank God there is no man in the United States who has the author ity to bring on war without the con sent of the nation," he said. The task of the United States, he said, has been to assert the principles of law in a world in which the prin ciples of law have broken down. Not Thinking of Invasion "We are not now thinking of in vasion of the territory of the United States," the President declared. "That, is not what is making us think. We are not asking ourselves shall we be prepared only to defend our own homes and our own shores. "Is that all we stand for? To keep the door shut securely against our enemies? What about the great trusteeship set up for liberty of na tional government in the whole West ern Hemisphere? We stand pledged to see that both the continents of Am erica are left free to be used by their people as those people choose to use them under a system of national popular sovereignty as absolutely un challenged as our own. "At this moment the Americas are growing together upon that handsome privilege of reciprocal respect and de fense." Detailed plans for strengthening the army and navy, and the aviation corps, and for making: munitions and armament by the government were outlined. The President spoke for nearly an hour. "The troublemakers have shot their bolt. They have been loud but inef fectual. Tlieir talk costs nothing." "I pledge you that, God helping, I will keep you out of war." Xo Crisis, Says President An audience of 9,000 persons heard the President in his Milwaukee ad dress in the afternoon. Mrs. Wilson occupied a box near the stage with Dr. Grayson. She wore a magnificent bouquet of orchids. "I want at the outset to remove any misapprehension in your minds," said the President. "There is no crisis —nothing new has happened. I came to confer with you on u matter which j we should confer on in any event. \Ve , should see that our house is set in i order. When all the world is on fire I the sparks fly everywhere." I The President said the presence of 'the vast crowd attested the interest ! of the people of Wisconsin in his mis j sion. "America has drawn her blood and ! her energy out of almost all of the nations of the world." he said. "We know that our roots and our tradi tions run best into other soils. "At the outset of the war it did not look as if there were a division of (domestic sentiment which might lead us into some errors of judgment. I lor one believe that danger is past, i "I never doubted that the danger was exaggerated. I for my part al ways feel a serene confidence in wait ing for declaration of the principles and sentiments of the men who are not vociferous, who do their own thinking, attend to their own business and leave everything else alone. "I have not supposed that the men whose voices seemed to show a threat against us represented even the peo ple they claimed to represent. "I know the magic of America. X know the impulses which draw men to be free. "The troublemakers have shot their bolt. They have been loud, but inef fectual. Their talk costs nothing," Mimllng Our Own Business America, the President said, was at tending to her own affairs in a world where every one else was absorbed in war. "There is daily, hourly danger," he continued, "that they will reel con strained to do things which are abso lutely inconsistent with the rights of the United States. They are not think ing of us. They are thinking first of ail of their own affairs. "The very uncalculated course of affairs may touch us to the quick at any time. Standing in the midst of these difficulties I want you to know I am in difficulty." The President said he knew the people wanted him to keep the nation out of war. There was prolonged ap plause. "I pledge you." he continued solemnly, "that God helping, 1 will keep it outibf war." Foreigner in U. S. Army Uniform Arrested on Stage Near President Wilson Chicago, Feb. 1. Sigmund Wis niewski. who was arrested on the stage where President Wilson was speaking last night in the auditorium here, explained to the police to-day that the army uniform he was wear ing v/as donned to enable him to get into the hall simply to hear the Presi dent speak. PNNSY EARNINGS BREAK RECORDS [Continued From First Page.] shown for 1915 was the highest in history of the company, comparing" with a previous high, of $70,983,041. First Six Months Dull These tremendous earnings are all the more significant because the bulk of the increases occurred in the last half of the year, the first six months having been dull. The system op erating profit was $22,22 7,000 naore in 1915 than for the year previous. The net income applicable to sinking fund requirements and dividends was $40,478,981, an increase of $B,l 73,458, and is equivalent to more than 8.1 per cent, on the stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1n>1914 the net income was equivalent to 6.83 per cent. The divi dend rate is 6 per cent., so that in the past year the dividend was earned and with a surplus of fully 2 per cent, over, although this figure will probably be lowered by deductions for sinking and other reserve funds, and possibly ap propriations for other corporate pur poses. Tho full pamphlet report showing operations for the year will not be issued until early in March, but the earnings for December and for the twelve months of 1915 published in another part of this issue give a good report of the year's operations. The Pennsylvania management recently supplemented the usual monthly state ment with additional information giv ing the net Income for the year. j I MARYSVILLE CAR SERVICE CASE UP Public Service Hears the Com plaint) ills' Side This Morning Complaints of residents of Marya ville and other towns along the Marys ville division oT the Valley Railway* I'ompany were aired before Public Service Commissioner Ryan at the Capitol to-day'and pretty nearly every thing that could be said against (he cars and the service was brought out by John F. Shannon, Jr., of Marys ville. the formal complainant. The case was the culmination of complaints made about service the last two months of 1915, since which time it appears that the company has put on a trailer car and made some changes in its Harrisburg terminal. Mr. Shannon was represented by George Ross Hull and Scott S. Leiby, while Charles H. Bergner and J. B. K. Cunningham appeared for the Valley line. Other witnesses were Dr. Har vey B. Bashore, Or. Ruth Deeler, .Tames Knier and Isaac Miller. Mr. Shannon, however, presented most of the case. He charged overcrowding of oars, failure to adhere to schedules, poor track, too long layovers at the Marysville terminal and other things, and also said that cars were not clean, his wife being forced to carry news papers to put on the seat. The com pany, it appears, has made some efforts to keep cars clean, but, Mr. Shannon said, there was still something to be desired, and once asserted that the windows were dirty. This afternoon the company will have its say and President C. H. Bishop will take the stand. The commission heard several cases regarding public service to-day and re ceived an informal complaint from Al bert Barnhart and others living in Lebanon. Palmyra, Annville and Swa lara against the Heading's morning train to Harrisburg, which is known as the "Milky." The complaint charges chronic lateness and assails the rail road management, alleging it to be the cause of loss of wages, inconvenience and "the ill will of employers." The commission refused to grant an extension of charter territory to the Bradford Gas Company. GERMAN PRIZE CREW BRINGS IN BRITISH SHIP [Continued From First Page.] 15. the day that British news reports said wireless communication with the vessel suddenly ceased. A prize crew was placed on board and the same day the submarine which captured the Appani gave chase to another British steamer bound for Australia with a cargo of meat. The meat ship gave battle, was captured and sunk, at'tei a large portion of her cargo had beei taken off. Six More Sunk Six more vessels then were de stroyed in rapid succession, it was stated. The crews were taken on board the Appam, which ran due west across the Atlantic for Hampton Roads. When the Appam passed in the Vir ginia Capes, early to-day, and took on a pilot, she was asked by the F ort Monroe wireless station who she was. The reply was, it is stated, that she was the German cruiser Buffalo. When she arrived off Old Point, Quarantine Officer McCaffrey went aboard and after his inspection brought Lieutenant .Berg ashore The Appam got a clean bill of health. The four wounded sailors were the only cases of sickness found. German Consul Takes Charges The German consul, L. Alarshall Von Schilling, took charge of the slt ulation and Lieut. Berg placed himself under the consul's orders. They went to the office of Col. Ira Haynes, com mandant of Fort Monroe, where the German officer paid his respects and explained why he had given the wire less station tlie name of the German cruiser Buffalo. Lieut. Berg and Consul Von Schilling sent messages to the German embassy at Washington and later had conver- I sations over the telephone -with the embassy and with Customs Collector Hamilton. Vessel Ts Guarded Pending the i-eeelpt of instructions from Collector Hamilton, no one is al lowed on or near the Appam. Guards are at the rails on every side and no gangplank is. down. Efforts to com municate with any of the passengers | from small boats encircling the steam | er were forbidden. ; The Appam has one 3-inch gun mounted on her bow, but whether it I was on board before her capture or was mounted by the Germans is not known. She was brought in under the German man-of-war flag, instead of the German merchant flag, and her name was given to the quarantine offi cer as "H. M. S. Appam," meaning the German warship Appam. When seen on his way to visit Col. Haynes, Lieut. Berg refused to talk. Asked for information he merely shook his head and replied: "Nothing to say, nothing to say." He is a small man of slight build t with a small moustache, and is very | pleasant, though noncommunicatlve. A conference with Collector Hamil- I ton will lake place in Norfolk this af jternoon. After a conference between Lieut. Berg and Consul Von Schilling the lieutenant went back aboard the Appam. Within a few minutes he re ported to Old Point, dressed in his civilian clothes and with the consul left for Norfolk for lunch with Col lector Hamilton. The names of the steamers sunk by the raider which captured the Appam are given as the Trader, Arthur, Cor bj-idge, Ariabena, Brommondy, Far rington-Ford and Clan MacFarlane. It is also reported now that the raid er was the German cruiser Mowe, in stead of a submarine, although this is I not confirmed.
