"WASHINGTON, March 15. — A
conference surrounded with much
mystery took place late this afternoon in the office of the Secretary
of State. Tn addition to- Secretary
Lansing., it was attended by Air.
Baker, the Secretary of War; Mr.
Gregory, the Attorney General: Mr.
Daniels, the Secretary of the Navy;
Mr. Polk, the Counsellor of the State
Department, and Mr. Woolsey, personal legal adviser to the Secretary
of State.
After the conference It was jsaid
by one of those who attended it that
no particular subject had been discussed. It had been devoted, he indicated, to many questions that
naturally came up for discussion at
this critical period in the international relations of the United States.
Elsewhere, however, the impression
was given that the conference was
called to consider matters of rather
pressing1 importance.

As hitherto, the army and navy must continue firmly and

moral support of the people in restoring calm and regular activity,
each officer, soldier, and sailor should fulfill his duty.

ARMY JOINS WITH THE DUMA
LONDON, March .15.—The Reuter correspondent at Petrograd telegraphs under date of yesterday:
" The Military Committee of the Duma haB asked all the officers not
yet employed by the committee to undertake .the organization of the soldiers who joined the people, and help guard the capital. The committee
Issued a statement, pointing out that at the present moment, when facing
an enemy who wished to take advantage of the temporary weakness of
the country, it was absolutely necessary to make every effort to maintain
the power of the army. It added that the blood of the Russians who had
died during the two and a half years of war pledged the people to do this.
" The President of the Duma sent telegrams to the commanders of the
Baltic and Black Sea fleets, to the chiefs of the armies on the northern,
southwestern, western, Rumanian, and Caucasus fronts, and to the Chief
of the General Staff, requesting that the army and navy preserve absolute
calm, and to be sure that the struggle against the foreign enemy was not
suspended or weakened even for a single moment. The telegram sent these
commanders added:

The eight-hour fight between the !250
railroads of the United States and the
400,000 trainmen has placed the country again face to face with a nationwide railway strike.
The National Conference Committee of
the Railways yesterday defied the ultimatum/of the four Brotherhoods that
the eight-hour day should be put into
effect at once, and the labor chiefs
formally served notice that their strike |
order stood and that a progressive
.•
strike program would begin tomorrow
night at 7 o'clock. Freight alone will
lu- affected at tne start.
As was the ease last Fall, when
the railroads and the unions broke oft
tiiplomatic relations, the only hope of
averting a strike lies with President
Wilson, and both the managers and the
brotherhood leaders remained in New
York overnight in the expectation that
Mr. Wilson would take-a hand in the
situation. However, it is a moot quesi.on- what .<neps the Government could
take to prevent paralysis of transportation facilities and consequent weakening
of the nation's resources in the international crisis. The general opinion
among officials in Washington last
night seemed to be that the President
could do little beyond appealing to the
patriotism of both sides. A provision
to empower:him to take over the roads
in such an emergency was among the
Administration, recommendations
for
iailway legislation which failed at the
.last session of Congress.
' LONDON, Friday, March 10.—It is the
belief in well-informed circles here that
the Provisional Government which has
been set up in Russia by the military
party will be able to keep the upper
hand in maintaining a policy that means
the uninterruptedly vigorous prosecution
of the war to a victorious end.
The overthrow of the Crar was expected, and observers here are confident that the Grand Duke as regent will
have the solid support of the war party,
While they are equally sure of the elimination of any element with a pro-German taint.

Munich Neueste Nachrichten, a copy of
which has reacned Berne, in commenting on the announcement of the State
Department that American' merchantmen will be armed.
" We assume," the newspaper says,
" that President Wilson-realizes the fate
to which he is subjecting his artillerymen. According to the German prize
laws it is unneutral support of the
enemy if a neutral shrp takes part in
hostilities. K such a ship opposes the
Prize Court then it must be treated as
an enemy ship. The prize rules specify
as to the crews of such ships. If, without being attached to the forces of the
enemy, they take part in hostilities or
make forcible resistance, they may be
treated according to the usages of war.

" In the meantime the/ red revolutionary parties were preaching anarchy in all Its forms, and the rowdy

"Happily the worst incentive to violence—alcohol in all its forms—was almost unprocurable, and the disciplined

LONDON, March 15.—According to
information received here the Russian people have been most distrustful during recent events of the

the greatest influence over Emperor

Jt is stated that her whereabouts
