"Let us not forget that the center of the target at which the nation is aiming is war. "If we will keep our minds fixed upon that as the center we will have a better measure of what is taking place. '"The public can rely upon it that in the operation of the railroads, interfer ence with the normal business of the country will be kept to the lowest pomi consistent with the purposes of the gov ernment in the winning of the war. "As to the financial aspects, the financing suggested for the roads need ing it leads inevitably to the secretary of the treasury. How Financing Will Be Bone . "Such financing must be done under Ms auspices and his approval, which can be accomplished directly when it is the secretary of the treasury himself who has his hand on the operation and con duct of the railway systems of the country. "ftellance can be placed upon the con tinuing desire of the railroads to do their part toward the winning of the war, whatever may be the duration of this deolorable struggle for, human rights bo ardently championed by the presl dent, behind whom we all stand." - Two Men Are Held As Spies of Kaiser Funny Aliens Attempt to isnnst ai uamp Lewis, After Having Joined T.

It was officially announced Thursday that a congress of South American neutral countries had been called to decide on a collective attitude toward the war. For more than a year there has been strong agitation in Argentina for a con gress of South American neutrals, but the project never got beyond its prelim inary stages. The present action indicates that de spite the recent new Luxburg revelations Argentina is bent upon maintaining neu trality, at least until the coming March. Neutral South and Central American countries besides Argentina, are Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay and Sal vador. It Is possible, however, that the call will be extended to those that have broken relations with Germany, but have not actually entered the war. This would Include all except B rax 11.
