It's more than luxury; comfort and good taste are the outstanding qualities of the Pennsylvania—as anybody who has been a guest there will tell you. The convenient location makes "getting around" easier for the visitor to New York. The Avenue shops are just east of you, theatres immediately to the north—look at the map. All "down-town" is in easy reach by rapid-transit lines, because there's a subway station v (both ex press and local) right in the building. Surface cars and Fifth Avenue busses pass the hctfel's doors, and the elevated is a square and a half east. Unexpected Conveniences As an instance of tfv. Pennsylvania's complete equipment, look at the two Turkish Bath establish ments (one for women exclusively, one for men), each of which has its own swimming pool. The beautiful "Butterfly Room," glass-enclosed (a sun room on the roof), is both novel and delightful. I There's a good library, too, for the use of guests; and many other "special" features. Your Bedroom Every bedroom has private bath, circulating ice-water, "Servtdor" (an ingenious device which eliminates con tact with servants at your bedroom door), full-length mirror, reading-lamp on head of bed, and many other unusual conveniences.

RAILROAD BILL PUT ON CALENDAR Cummins Expects Three or Four Systems From Chi cago to New York Washington, Oct. 24.—The railway reorganization bill the most Im portant economic measure to come before Congress in many a decade, was reported to the Senate yesterday by the Committee on Interstate Com merce. The vote on reporting was 14 to 1, LaFollette, who dislikes the antistrike features, being the only opponent. A wise soluUon of the transporta tion problem is regarded as funda mental to a reduction of the high cost of living and a stabilization of industrial, labor and financial con ditlona The proposed legislation will be fought by organised labor, which is literally opposed to the antl3trike and compulsory arbitra tion feature of the bill. The rail way brotherhoods advocated tho Plumb plan of turning the transpor tation system over to the workers. Conservatives desire immediate en actment not only to amelorlato eco nomic conditions but to prevent radi cals from makng an issue of their extreme proposals in tho Presiden tial election next year. When Chairman Cummins, of the Senate committee, reported the 108- page bill to-day he hod read a letter from Director General Hines. of the Railroad Administration, pointing out that immediate legislation is vi tally necessary to the welfare of the railroads, which the President desires to return to their owners at the close of the year. Cummins gave notice he would call up the bill as soon as the German Treaty is disposed of. He hopes to put a bill through the Senate by Novem ber 20.

Kaiser Scoffed at America's War Aid, Bernstorff Testifies Berlin, Oct. 24.—The former Kaiser scoffed at the danger of American intervention, early in 1917, according to Count von Bern storff, then German Ambassador to the United States. Replying to a question by Dr. Stnzheimer when he resumed tes tifying in the Reichstag committee investigation of conduct of the war yesterday afternoon. Von Bernstorff 1 admitted that Wilhelm telegraphed to Foreign Secretary Zimmerman about January 16, 1917, that "If a breach with America cannot be avoided, things must take their course." The statement created a sensa tion, several committee members gasping audibly. There was a hur ried consultation, and after some delay a copy of the telegram was produced. It was read by Sinz heimer. "His Majesty does not care a bit about President Wilson's peace of fer," the telegram said. "It a breach with America cannot be avoided, things must take their course. Events are developing." Last U.
