The stage is all set for government operation of .the railroads, starting at noon tomorrow. th tremendous sweeps across the canvas, the administration has put into place the background for one of the most gigantic ventures of a generation. William G of the treasury, who will be the supreme director of the system, is ready to take hold. From direct information which' the International News Service has obtained as to the policies he is prepared to pursue, there can be no question that the federal control during the period of government operation will be complete and absolute. Every mile of track, every car, every locomotive, terminals, docks, telegraph lines and all other appurtenances are to be operated directly under the supervision and the direction of the government. As director, the functions of Mr. McAdoo will supersede those of the interstate commerce commission. He will fix the rates and fix the earnings of the roads. He. will direct all improvements and pass on all the larger questions of administration. I. He will let the managements of the individual roads attend to the details of operation, but he will pool the facilities of all in the interest of unified control. He will stand as the arbiter between the xoads and their employees and, if need be, direct matters connected with the fixing of wages. He issued this statement tonight: This task is ef a great magnitude and difficulty. It cannot be done in a moment and it cannot be done at all unless the people of the United States, as well as the officers and employees of the railroads, give to the railroad director their intelligent and patriotic support I earnestly seek the and assistance of every good citizen in this great work. The operation of the railroads as a thoroughly unified system is of fundamental importance to the success of the war. Without it we cannot get the effective use of our resources. The supreme test in this war will probably come in the year 1918. Victory will depend upon our speed and efficiency. We can. get neither speed nor efficiency unless the railroads are equal to the demands of the situation. I can only say at the moment that the problems will be taken fibld of vigorously and that plans and policies will be announced from time to time as rapidly as it is possible to mature them. Meanwhile the business will be conducted through existing railroad organizations with all the support! and power of the government asserted in behalf of more efficient and satisfactory operation. The director general t of railroads comupon invitation of the interstate has accepted ofmerce commission, fices in the interstate commerce building.' The commission has also placed at the disposal of the director the entire work and facilities of the commission. -- This much also Secretary McAdoo made plain this afternoon: For all betterments and improvements which the government makes during the period of government operation, the government must be reimbursed when the time comes for the -- - McAdoaTT-heTecretar- SALE Two and of land on the state road mile aouth of Layton.

Greatly alarmed for the safety of her children and herself, Mrs. Herman Babbel, 601 South Ninth East tailor street, wife of the Herman Babbel, who a few days ftgfl was sent to the war prison, .at Fort Douglas for internment as an alien enemy because of his utterances, late last night sent an urgent call to the police, after an unknown man had called her to the door and handed her a piece of cardboard, on which was drawn in fresh human blood, a crude picture of a dripping sword and a skull and crossbones, beneath which was printed the legend, Death to You." According to the police Mrs.' Babbel was unable to give a description of the man, excepting that he was short of stature, dark complexioned and wore glasses. She stated that he did not utter a word when he delivered his message, and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
