Ewing, General Manager F. M. Falck and I. A. Seidcrs, superintendent of motive power and rolling equipment, with General Superintendent W. H. Kef fer, of the Reading Railway, held a conference in the office of Mr. Kef fer Saturday. There was a general discussion of the freight and coal situation and it was found that, barring the embar go prevailing, the Beading is in very good shape. It was found that the railway has not been blocked at any time. The delays have always been due to the inability of the connect ing lines to take care of the traffic offered them as rapidly as it was de livered. General Manager Falck reported that preparations are being made to clear up the anthracite fields, and if nothing happens there will not be a loaded car in the entire region to day, barring further snowstorms.

Schell, who has been quite ill at his home in Penbrook, is on a fair way to recovery. He Is clerk at the Bureau of Information, Pennsylvania Railroad station. A dispatch from Bristol, Tenn., says: "A train of the Virginia Carolina Railroad got caught in a snowdrift at White Top Gap Tuesday, and is still stuck, tying up traffic on the entire system. All available engines on the road have been unable to move the train." The first woman to be sworn into the railway mail service in this coun try is Miss Elsie Kaden, of San Fran cisco, twenty years old. She led 300 In civil service examinations with a mark of 98 per cent. . Orders have been issued to run the Pennsylvania Railroad work train on schedule time. It will be given right of way on passenger tracks until further notice. Freight congestions recently caused delays. Miss Josie Magaro, clerk for the Union News Company, who received a severe laceration on the right hand, is recovering. Upwards of 800 soldiers enroute home from Camp Meade on furlough, passed through Harrlsburg Satur day. Employes of the Baltimore division of the Pennsy, received their pay to-day. George E.

He car ried It for 40 years, and liked the country better than the city. across country, to overtake the train, wiring ahead to hold the train. In the meantime the conductor of No. 593 missed his passenger six miles out of Montezuma. With an infant left on his hands and screaming at the top of Its voice for its mother the conductor backed his train six miles to Montezuma to find the mother. She was half way to Cope land then. Nobody at Montezuma seemed to know about the woman, and the con ductor ordered a search along the track, fearing that she might have fallen from the train. There was mutual satisfaction when train 593 finally pulled Into Copeland and the conductor turned the child over to its mother. CONSTANT WORK FOR 5,000 MEN [Continued from First Page.] York, Boston, Providence. Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cleveland, St. Lcuis, Baltimore, Washington and many other great trade and manu facturing centers. Near Old On nip Meade The local yards are sufficiently large to insure prompt handling of shipments in and out and the trans fer facilities are unexcelled. Good roads connect the site with all of the big industrial centers of the east and west. It is well back from the seashore in case of attack, yet close enough to insure prompt handling of consignments for coast defense or abroad. It has an abundance of water supply, is close to the coal centers and has the backing of the great Bethlehem Steel plants at Steelton in case of stress and de mands for hasty deliveries of steel products. By strange coincidence it is located just across the railroad from the old Camp Meade of Span ish-American war days. Nearly as Large as Steelton It is a practical certainty that the plants will be maintained here per manently after the war and that the new town about to spring up will be a big feeder for Harrisburg. A town as large as Steelton, or nearly so, seems assured within the coming year. It is understood that plans are already prepared for the first of the houses and that schools, store and office buildings, a post office, garages and churches are contemplated, but as to this details are lacking, llailronds All Ready The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, with Superintendent J. K. Johnston and Division Freight Agent W. J. Rose, in charge of ne gotiations, has been assisting the government agents very quietly for some time and are prepared to run the necessary lines for the sidings and railroad facilities that will be immediately required. Just how soon work will be start ed on the construction of the build ings is not known, but most likely within thirty days, the meantime being occupied with letting the con tracts and the assemblylng of work men, equipment and materials. The immensity of the development may be judged from the announce ment that it is to be the largest of its kind in the country. The esti mated cost is withheld, but "it will run into the millions. Representatives of the big con tacting firm of Mellon-Stewart Company and the Grace Construc tion Company, of Pittsburgh, were in Harrisburg Saturday looking over the location. KnKlne*rrd by Marshall The deal was engineered by Robert Marshall, of the State Fair Company, who represented Hord and Company, who took over the management of the reorganized corporation last sum mer. Mr. Marshall has been in Wash ington for some months and the lease would have been closed much sooner had it not been for the illness of a Government representative whose signature was required. The papers finally reached the city early this morning and the land is now under Government control. The story of the development was brought to this city piecemeal by men who have seen the plans at Washington and by engineers In charge of the work. There is no doubt, however, that at least twenty five 6-story concrete-and-steel build ings will be erected and It may be that this will be increased to twenty eight, all of them of the most mod ern factory construction, counterparts of each other and built for permanent use. They are to be erected to carry all manner of heavy machinery and big pieces of apparatus. The ma chine shops will be necessary for the assembling of the immense quantities of parts to be made elsewhere, for the making and repair of tools and other uses of the kind. It Is generally understood that Harrisburg and vicinity nre to be the center of supplies of all kinds and that the War Department is building permanently so that it m£.y never be caught napping again. It Is said to be the opinion of Secretary of War Baker and his advisers that It would be folly to build anything but the most modern and permanent of struc tures, so that the money expended will not be lost, but will be of per manent value to the nation. "It seems like a lot of money, $13,000,000." said a well-known Har risburger to-day who has been Inter ested in bringing the plant to this city, "but I am assured by the vari ous contractors who have been bid ding on the Jab that It will be at least that amount and probably $15,- 000,000. You can scarcely grasp what this means for this city. Business of every kind will be stimulated and the result will be a city almost the whole way from Rockville to the lower end of Middletown; the Government lease and eventual purchase making It as sured that the now unbuilt stretch will be covered with houses at no distant date. I understand that a number of Harrisburg men have quietly taken options on large acre ages of land below the city and In the vicinity of the Government de velopment and will proceed to build It up as fast as there Is demand for houses. I think this is the biggest thing that has happened for Harris burg since the Pennsylvania Steel plants were located here. We will begin to understand the magnitude of the thing only when the con struction gets under way and we see a new little city springing up on the open fields to the east of us," Aviation Plant Enlarged It became known this morning that the aviation plant on the state fair tract, which Is entirely separate from the new development. Is to be greatly enlarged. It Is overcrowded now and there is need for at least three times its present floorspace, . It Is said that the Mellon-Stewart Company is low bidder on this work. 71AT1RTFBURG TELEGRAPH BEAMING SALESMEN AT SUCCESSFUL OPENING OF ANNUAL AUTOM The first person inside the door of the big Auto Show being held this week in the Emerson-Brantingham Building, Tenth and Market streets, is gonial J.

Scheidemann's reply to the Chan cellor, as published by the Vor waerts, of Berlin, follows: "Two chief arguments were ad vanced by the militarist party for the prolongation of the war, namely, liie success of the U-boats and the strength of our army. But these were tp have given us a decisive vic tory in six months, according to the announcement made 'in 191f?, Alas, that period has long since passed, and while the U-boat has ad mittedly harmed England enor mously its chief visible eifect has been the entry of America into the war. "If the United States had not en tered the war we may be sure the Russian revolution would long ago have brought a general peace. America Great Obstacle "What about the army? Suppose the army should capture Calais and Paris, would that mean peace? I say 'No!' "Suppose the army conquered mean peace? I say 'No,' for we would B till have to conquer Amer ica." Herr Scheldemann fiercely attack ed the militarist leaders, declaring that their attitude toward Austria was likely to lose for Germany her last friend. "If our Government leaders can not free us from these 'patriots,' said the Social Democrat leader, "they had better go. I warn them that if they do not bring us peoe with Russia they will be hurled from power." Herr Scheldemann declared that an agreement easily was possible on eleven points of President Wilson's statement. "But Mr. Wilson must be told plainly," the speaker said, "that Alsace is Germany's and will remain so. If one clear word Is spoken re garding Belgium England's war man gcrlng will end.

"I cannot see the day," Herr Scheidemann went on, "when Ger many will say to the Entente: "We accept your terms. We are beaten.' But Just as little can I see the day when England, France and the Unit ed States Mill say the same to us." Regarding relations between Ger many and Austria, Herr Scheide mann said an indication of the Aus trian feeling toward the present Ger man regime might be gathered from the fact that during the recent dem onstrations in Vienna the Austrian Emperor was openly and repeatedly insulted. Blames Junkers in Austria This was due, he said, to attacks of the German junkers on Austria. He declared the Junker press had been demanding that "more Ger many should be freed from Austria." Touching on President Wilson's peace terms, Herr Scheidemann said: "Regarding Alsace, there is noth ing for us to redress. It will remain ours. But as for Belgium, let us cease meddling in Flemish politico. "Let us seek in honor to save the world from new bloodshed in the spring. Let us give up illusions on both sides.

It is then when a man sees red, and it is "When a Man Sees lted" in all that the phrase implies, that has been chosen as the totle of the wonderful William Fox production to be shown at the Victoria Theater to-day and Wednesday only, and in which the noted William Farnum is starred. This most remarkable picture is de veloped from the famous story, "The Painted Lady," by Larry Kvans, which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post a short while ago. It is a play of a different character and for that reason will attract a great many peo ple to the Victoria Theater during the days when this feature is shown. For Thursday and Friday "Alimony," an all-powerful domestic drama that teaches a lesson, will be presented by an all-star cast.

Pennsy Runs Crews Through On All Divisions Running through with trains to the Middle and other divisions, crews from the Baltimore division and ad ditional points on the Pennsy sys tem are striving to aid the company in getting freight to destinations more rapidly. This is the initial instance on tho Pennsy when freight crews from di visions as remote a3 the Baltimore have continued on through runs so long. They are operating over tho Middle and other divisions with the assistance of pilots. The company has found that engines can be used over other divisions in passenger service and now the men in the freight work are getting innovations in the way of long, direct runs. Officials are bending every effort, to keep freight of tho class not af fected by embargoes, moving and much coal was hauled east yesterda.v while hundreds of empty cars were rushed back toward mines. Consid erable trouble has been experienced this week in the coal used on loco motives but the motive power is standing up under tho terrific strain unprecedented in railroading, as well as can be expected.
