DolrofU Recognition of the union and better wages are sought by the thirty-five thousand track wrW, all of whom would be effected if President Barker calls the strike. Officials of the Pennsylvania Lines here said to-night they knew noth ing of the controversy. The men claim that Adjustment Board No, 3 of the Department of Labor had delayed decision in their case, and that the strike vote was taken to day because the workers were de termined to wait no longer. The brotherhood was organised here eight months ago. according to officials, who say that a special ses sion may be held here again Mon day. The area affected on the Pennsylvania system Is confined to the big trunk lines east of Chicago and St. Louis, connecting with the Xew York and seaboard terminals, including the Pennsylvania lines cast and west, with ail Its branches, roads from New York to Washing ton. the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad and many others under Federal control.

Graves Along the Roadside American, as well as French, graves lay along the roadside. There j were German graves too. Desocrat cd cemeteries were found in many cases. There was a constant pana rama of destroyed or charred vine yards, gardens and homes. The President was welcomed at i Rheims by the mayor and a com mittee to whom Mr. Wilson explain ed that he had not come to the de vastated regions sooner because he had been wholly engaged at Paris with the business of maikng peace. Before going to the cathedral, he passed through the streets of a de serted city which was once the home of 115.000 people., but where less than 5,000 now are eking out an ex istence among the ruins. He visited j Red Cross canteens where hundreds of destitute persons are fed night and day. and the hospital where the sick and injured are cared for. Cathedral Stripped of Beauty A light blanket of snow covered i the ground a sthe President drove up to the cathedral, and Rheims, ravished and naked in all Its mis ery and desolation, looked like a graveyard in the moonlight. There were more crows in the air, circling over the ruined town, then there were hirman beings below in the littere dstrets. Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of Rheims, who stood steadfastly by his charge for four years, during which time scarcely a day passed without a German shell hurling death into the city, met the President at the fence of rough boards which now excludes curiosity seekers and in closes the rubbish into which this most historic edifice has been re duced. The cardinal conducted Mr. Wilson to the Nave of the cathedral, where, in 1914, the Germans during their short occupation of the city placed their wounded, and then, be ing forced to evacuate, burned their men to death by incendiary shells ; that fired the roof, but did not dam age the vault. Rubbish Piled Iligh An over the (lagging, worn smooth through the years by millions of feet bringing Frenchmen to an hour's de votion, were piled heaps of rubbish, remnants of statuary and frescoes and fragments of colmns and sculp tures which were accounted the most perfect and complete examples of Gothic art. As the President and the cardinal stood together looking upward, while the prelate briefly recounted the story of four years of constant destruction, they looked straight through to tbe clouded sky. The snow flurry that was covering ! the bare ruins of the city outside i was also laying a blanket inside the | cathedral. Silent Before Painting : The cha'ky stone of Champagne, I of which the cathedral was built, is scaling oft from the effects of Ger- \ man fire and the falling snow flakes wero mixed with an almost constant dropping of fragments. Pausing a moment before the scene of the crucifixion above the north door, and before the painting of the coro nation of the Virgin, over the cen tral door, Mr. Wilson silently viewed the destruction wrought upon those masterpieces hy the burning of the seaffolaing when the Germans set tire to the roof of the edifice. The President followed the car dinal to the ruins of the chapel where old-time kings watched through the night at the time of their nnolntlng, and to the ruins of the museum where priceless Flem ish tapestries were ruined. He was shown where thousands of shells thrown from German batteries on two sides burst among the buttresses which support the main structure and where forests of sculptures which ornament the structure have been scarred, nicked and torn by fragments from the big shells. Work of Art Destroyed Then the cardinal took him out- ] side, and they picked their way through rubbish heaps to a point from which they could view the shell-riddled painting of the Last Judgment above the south door; the symho's from Noah's arm about the great shattered rose window, the State of St. Anne and dozens of oth er works art of which virtually none escaped. As they left the cathedral, the cardinal gave the President a stain ed glass panel from one of the win dows taken down in ttme to save it. The panel is unscarred. It is cir cular and about three feet In diam eter. It shows a figure of the Savior done In many colored glass of the early centuries. From the cathedral the President drove to view the ruins of the town hall, a spacious specimen of the Renaissance style of architecture and the Palais Royale, an eighteen century edifice. These two. with the cathedral, com prised the most celebrated histori cal memorials of Rheims, and not one has escaped. Find Ammunition, Abandoned by Huns, in Coblenz Tunnels SSKJJ pJinposrf Kg Coblenz, Jan. 27. —Thirty-five mil lion rounds of small arms ammuni tion were among the material aban doned by the Germans in the region of Coblenz.
