ESIDENT TAKES OVEN NITED STATES
RAILWAY LIN ON DECEMBER 28
D1."tastic Step Announced by President Wilson to Make Nation's
Transportation Facilities ili'iies Serve War Needs.
A iiospatch from Washington says:
President Wilson formally announced
hili decision to take possession andi
assume control at noon on Friday,
December 2$,•' of each and every
system of transportation ;a the United
State:. Possession of the transporta-1
tion systems of the et;untry will be
taken through S„ecretctry of War Bak-
er, but after the railroads and other
transportation faciiities have come'
into the -actual pe.;"session of the Gov-'
ernment, they \viii be operated under
e the direction o; William G, McAdoo,
the present Se,;retary of the Treasury.;
ti
Mr.. McAdoo was appointed by the
President to serve its Director -General
of Railroads.
Through the action taken ;the Pre-
sident hopes to be able to cut the
"Gordian knot" of the tangle of ' con-
fusion into which the transportation
facilities of the nation have been
brought as a result of the efforts made
since the nation entered the war, to
handle the movement of troops, muni-
tions and war commodities, without
at the same time sacrificing the actual
transportation needs of the nation
and its commerce.

Fresh from the Beene of the disaster'

"The first three. days were days of

were blazing on the hillside at the

According to the Admiralty report,
11 'British merchantmen of 1,600 tons
or over were sunk during this period

Merchantman under that tonnage and
one fishing vessel.
Twelve merchantmen were unsuc-

to a despatch from Basel, Only about
an hour earlier the emperor's special

A` section of the tracks was torn up,
cutting communication north. In fact,
the emperor's train was the last to
leave Mannheim, and no trains arriv-
ed at Basel from that city. Two
bombs fell on the palace and one 0n
the suspension bridge .across the Nec-
kar River, both structures being badly
damaged. An ammunition factory in
a northern suburb was blown up. Few
persons were killed here, however, as
the employes were having a holiday,
Number's of persons were killed or line

were blown into the Rhine.
TOMATOES INSTEAD
OF CHRYSANTHEMUM.
A despatch from Liverpool says: A
year ago the city of Liverpool decided
to suspend the cultivation of chrys-

ed to public parks, and grow some-
thing useful instead. Several acres of
glass were accordingly assigned to be
used for tomatoes, The result of the
year's work is .announced .'hr a report
just published, 'which states that 10,-
000 pounds of tomatoes were thus
grown, all of which were sent in wee s-

Once again the Germans have endeav-

Two assaults delivered north of the
