INSTRUCTIONS if WIRED I I Traffic to be Moved by The Mos1 Direct Route Now?Open Way for I Traffic Pooling That Was Hereto-! fore Impossible. ' | f Washington.?The railroads of tk?! Vnited States paseed into goverajceut j , possession at noon Friday as Seore-i ; tary McAdoo, designated by Prasldontj ' Wilson as director general of rail- j roads, was delegating to the railroads': war board the task of operating them; for the present. The war board, comprising five of the country's foremost railroad execu' tives who have been in supreme v.iicugc ui uic iuaus IUI iiie IUM. nurj . months, were called into conference at 11 o'clock to discuss plans for weM. ing all transportation lines into a single government-operated system. They left the treasury department two j hours later under instructions to co.'i| tinue their functions and submit immediately a plan of operation to the ; director general. Mr. McAdoo issued his first, formal order designed to speed up freight movements, telegraphing all railroad ; presidents and directors instructions , to move traffic by the most convenient and direct routes. At the same time he ordered them to continue the operation of their lines in conformity witn ' the President's proclamation putting ! them under government coz:trol. ?I There was no indication whether . Mr. McAdoo intended eventually to i displace the war board with an organ. ization of his own or to continue its organization for the duration of the war. It was made clear, however, that it will continue the function until the director general decides that a better system can be devised. " The order that freight move by the ? most expeditious route opens the way for a pooling of traffic impossible | heretofore by reason of statutes de( signed to prevent the practice by car^ riers operated under private direction. It takes from the shipper the right to ! route his freight as he wishes, and leaves to the railroad traffic manager * i " j; it. ~ t- a ^>fl ' tne laSK 01 SUUUlUg IL iuusl un Ctuv > and where there is least congestion. - TEUTONIC TERMS FOR r!

And backing their prime minis{ ter, the 3ritish proletariat, representj ed by a national labor conference, has '; reaffirmed, without equivocation, ' | that it is the determination of. labor to continue the war. 1 Fortified by the known attitude of President Wilson as to the ldquirements of the United States if the war 1b to end and a peace concluded, tie' utterances of Premier Lloyd George '! and Foreign Minister Pichon and the I almost unanimous sentiment of the '< British workers seemingly make cer?i tain that the Teutonic allies' proffer, | given in reply to the Russian bolshe vlki proposals, wui go ror naugnt un' less it Is materially added and brought i into line with the demands that the I United States and the entente allies j have laid down as the concrete basis j for the discussion of peace. ! Nevertheless the bolsheviki elei ment in Russia apparently has not ; lost hear that something may come ; from the Czernin proposal, for the j Brest-Litovsk peace conference at j which i/t was made has taken a recess j jatil January 4, and meanwhile Trot! zky, the bolsheviki foreign minister, ' purposes to send a note to the entente : allied embassies in an endavor to j have them participate in further . peace parleys, and also is drafting a note to the peoples of the world. .
