Waahinc'on. ? The administration
bill to regulate government management
of railroads was subjected to Its
first attaoks at the capltol.
Resolutions were introduced in the
Senate seeking to 'amend the section .
providing for indefinite, continuance of
government control by providing for
automatic return to private control
after th?f war. The basis of compen- '
sation on the earnings of the three '
years ending last June 30 was criticised
in a hearing by the Senate inter- J
state commerce committee by Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman of the execu- j
tive committee of the Southern Pa
clfic, who suggested instead the two J
and u half year period between July 1, j
1015, and December 31, 1917, arguing
that earnings for 1915 were be- ^
low normal.

bill and will hear Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Anderson explain the
measure. A
The railroad administration devoted
itself to executive measures to clear
up congestion on eastern railroads,
and Mr. McAdoo appealed to the people
of the United States to observe the
week of January 14 to 21 as "freight a
moving week" through an organized g
movement to unload cars and turn
them back from terminals. In antici- n
pation of government assistance in ^
railroad financing, roads were Instruct- 4
ed to report immediately the amount p,
of capital they need for the coming tl
year.
Mr. McAdoo's statement on a concerted
movement to clear congestion a
said: h
"I wish to appeal to the people of
the United States to observe the week ^
beginning January 14 and ending '
January 21 as 'freight moving week,' ! (
and I earnestly request the governors a
of the various states, the public util- 1 a

and shippers generally, trucking companies

."An earnest and united pull all u

swept aside by ^he supreme court In f

the court held. Ilea in the clauses of c
the constitution giving Congress tho n
power to declare war and to raise t

"As the mind cannot conceive an o
army without the men to compose It." t
said the chief justice, "on the face of n
the constitution the objection that It d
does ndt give power to provide for n
such men would seem to be too frivol- b
ous for further notice." C
The opinion then proceeded to take
up and definitely dispose of each of

the qaany questions raised by counsel
for the convicted persons whose appeals

court.
No action was taken by the court

Washington. ? To promote more
roinpt unloading of freight cars. DIactor
General McAdoo established
ew railroad demurrage rjles for dolestic
trafTic, effective January 21,
ontinulng the present ' wo days' free
me but providing for increases ranglg
from 50 to 100 pe- cent in charges
lereafter.
The director g' .iersl appealed to
tilppers and cor dgnees to co-operate
i releasing ca a to meet the national
mergency * .id to make special ef)rts
e?* u before the higher demur.
narges go into effect to clear
?rmlnals as a contribution to the sucass
of the war. The necessity for
rtion was emphasized by a report
om A. H. Smith, assistant director
eneral In cliurge of operations east of
le Mississippi! river,that "accumulaon
is increasing at points east of
ittsburgh and Buffalo." Mr. Smith re>rted
that the situation was due
irgely to cold weather, but that sickess
among trainmen and engineers
nd scarcity of labor has necessitated
ttensive curtailment of train service.
New Demurrage Rates.
The new demurrage rates approved
y the interstate commerce commisIon
on request of the director genral.
are $3 per car for the first day
fter the two free days $4 for the
icond day, and $1 additional for
itch succeeding day until the charge
Br day reaches $10. This maximum
len will bo charged for every day or
action thereafter. Existing demurage
rates in most sections of the
ountry are $1 for the first day after
le two days' free time, $2 for the secnd
day. $3 for the third day, $5 for
le fourth day, and for each day therefter.
Even these rates are several
mes higher than those which prevaild
a year ago, and which were raised
ist spring when congestion on east n
railroads became acute. Much
Igher rates are charged on the Pacific
oast and in several other districts.
EACE NEGOTIATIONS WITH
RUSSIANS IS SUSPENDED
ermant Would Not Transfer Parleys
to Neutral Soil.
The reace negotiations between the
antral powers and the bolshevik! gov nmont
in Russia have been "ternararily
suspended" by the Germans.
From the meager advices received,
appears the rock upon which a connuation
of the pourparlers split was
10 demand of the Russians that the
jnforcn'ce bo resumed rt Stockholm
isterd of at Brest-Lltovsk. Dissatised
with the proposals for peace made
y the Teutonic allies before the resss
of the Brest-Lltovsk conference,
eon Trotzky, the bolsheviki foreign
linister, had been insistent on the
pliberations being held on neutral
>il instead of at the German eastrn
headquarters. The Germans, howler,
had been oqually firm in their
atermination not to treat with the
ussians rt any other place than
rest-Litovsk.
German advices Saturday were to
le effect that the bolsheviki dele
iu-b, on nulling mai me representaves
of the Teutonic allies were at
rest-Litovsk awaiting them, had
arted for this town, but nothing has
)me through to show that these had
ay foundation in fact. The decision
f the Germans to discontinue the sitngs
was arrived at during a crown
auncil held* in Berlin Saturday
hich was attended by Field Marshal
an Hindenburg and Generul von Luendorff.
first quartermaster general.
OOD SITUATION OF
ALLIES IS VERY GRAVE
t ?
Washington.?The food situation in
le allied countries of Europe is gravr
than it has heen at any time since
te beginning of the war and is giving,
meriean government officials deep
incern. Official reports picture exeme
food shortages in England,
ranee and Italy.
The fact that conditions in Germany
ad Austria are far worse offers the
r*ly ground for optimism in viewing
te situation.
IOTOR TRUCK TRAINS
FROM DETROIT TO COA8T
Washington.?As a result of a sue*
?ssful trial run by an army motor
uok train from Detfolt to the eAtlanc
seaboard the quartermaster's deurtment
decided to start similar
alns from Detroit every day for six
eeks. beginning January 10. In this
ay the department hope* to aid In reeving
railroad congestion by transiting
army supplies overland and ?t
te same t-me eliminating the neces,?T"
of shipping the trucks.

. who was married recently to Count

only twenty-six years of age.
QUICK WORK IS MOST VITAL
ENTIRE UNITY IS TO BE THE
WATCHWORD OF NATION
AND ALLIES.
Agreement Reached in Paris War
Conference?Allies to Make Available
Necessary Transports.
Entire unity henceforth is to be the
watchword of the United States and
j allies in the prosecution of the war.
American troops are to be rushed to
the fighting fronts in large numbers as
quickly as possible, and there is to be
perfect co-ordination In naval, millj
tary. financial, food, war industries
and diplomatic matters.
The agreement between the allies
for unified action was reached at the
recent inter-allied conference in Paris,
which was attended by an American
mission headed by Col. E. M. House
'and arrangements already have been
made for the United States to carry on
its part of the compact.
In order that American troops may
be dispatched in a constant stream to
Europe, the allied nations are ho to
arrange their merchant shipping that
the necessary transports will be available
for the huge task. That quick
work in getting the American army to
the Tront is most vital is indicated by
a statement of Major General Maurice
chief director of military operations at
the British war ofTlce. General Maurice
says it Is probable that with their
heavy reinforcements, drawn from the
eastern to the western front, the Germans
shortly will make a strong offensive
against the British and French
armies and that 'the enemy may be
expected to make some gains.
SEPARATE PEACE WITH
GERMANY NOT PROBABLE
Petrograd.? (By the Associated
Press.)?The chances of a separate
peace between Russia and the central
powers being effected seem remote,
because of what are regarded as Germany's
unreasonable demands. Leon
Trotzky, the bolshevik! foreign minis
mi, 1111ii inn unnuciaiPH inko the stand
that the Baltic provinces are in reality
under military pressure while they
continue to be occupied by Germany,
and that their votes with respect *o
peace must be ignored, as now these
provinces are virtually German dependencies,
tfie loyal Russians having
, fled. The Russian delegation upon its
1 return from Brest-Litovsk laid before
;the council of commissioners at Petro- i
grad Germany's demands, which causled
amazement and the declaration that
the council was not favorable to acceptance.
TRAIN ATTACKED BY INDIAN8
AND MANY ARE KILLED
Tucson, Ariz.?A train on the Southern
Pacific railroad was attacked 32
miles south of Kmpailme, Sonora, and i
from 20 to 30 passengers were killed,
according to advices received here.
The conductor an an express raessen
: ger were among those killed. Some

but thlr names have not been learned.
The attack was by Yaqul Indians. The
train was the continuation of the one
which left Nogales several days ago.

NEW LEGISLATION
WANT3 TO REGULATE THE GOVERNMENT
OPERATION OF
RAILROADS IN U. 8.
IS APPROVED - BY CONGRESS
Asks That Carrier Be Guaranteed :
Compensation on Basis of Average
Operating Income for the Last
Three Years. .
wasningion.?Legislation to regulate
the government operation of railroads
and to guarantee the carriers
compensation on the basts of their
average operating income for the
last three years was asked of Congress
by President Wilson in an address to
both houses in joint session. Bills
embodying his recommendations and
carrying an appropriation of a half
billion dollars as a "revolving fund'"
were introduced immediately and an
attempt will be made to rush them'
to prompt passage.
While the president's address met
with general approval among democrats
and republicans alike, opposition
is expected to develop to a provision
in the administration bill that
federal control shall continue after
the war indefinitely or until congress
orders otherwise and other details of
the compensation basis.
The plan will afreet immediately
only the wage requests of the brotherhoods
but demands which may be
made later by other classos of organized
labor probably will be handled in'
the game way, Mr. McAdoo- reserving
the right to make whatever decision
he chooses without regard to recom- ;
mendations of the advisers.
Some Increases, both to the broth- j
erhoods and to other railway labor,
are generally considered certain. The
director general in a statement prom-'
ised every employee "that his rights
and interests will be justly dealt j
with," and appealed for a hearty
spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation
from every one.
Efforts to speed the movement of
coal and other freight continued along
with the legislative and labor phases
of the railway movement and special
orders were issued providing that BOO j
additional cars shall be furnished daily i
to a certain specified bituminous and |
nnthrnrltn rr* 1 nno I? T* ?* 1
uiiiud, luoiiu; in rcnllftyi*
vania, for supplying New England,
These problems forced Mr MeAdoo
to postpone action on eastern
passenger traffic officials' recommendations
for curtailment of passenger
schedules but he is expected to issue
orders then for abandonment of a
number of trains and elimination of
parlor and sleeping cars to a great
extent.
Mr. MoAdoo explained today that
although no general provisions can
be made under the law for exempting
railroad employes from the draft, he j
will not hesitate to appeal to local
exemption boards to defer tne calling
of these workors if the boards of their
own vlolltion do not display a tendency
to regard the railroads as an
essential industry from which employees
should not be taken for military
service.
When the president concluded, the
administration bill was Introduced In
the senate by Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, ranking Democratic member
of the interstate commerce committee.
In addition to annrnnnrintlnur
$500,000,000 and providing for the ,
compensation basis under which the 1
government guarantees an aggregate
return of some $900,000,000 a year,
the measure sets forth in detail the
conditions upon which government
operation is to be carried on.
Under the last provision the pres-.
ident is expected to issue, an order
transferring to Director General Mc-.
Adoo all functions vested iji tha. chief"
executive. This will enable th'e: dlrec-.
tor general to organize a corporation
for handling railroad securities in ac*:
cordance with a plan #now under consideration.
Railroad officials are expected to
urge a number of modifications of the j
accounting method prescribed by the |
bill for reaching the standard return. |
basis, but officials expect the scheme
as outlined In the bill probably will
be followed in the main. Some dls?
v?.o?.wu io iuukcu iui uver my 1)111 B
provision that new federal taxes un<
der the war revenue act are not to
be charged against the revenue lit
computing the standard return as are
ordinary taxes. The effect of this
will be to require railroads to pay
war taxeH out of their governmental
compensation. *

Columbia.?William Banks, recently
appointed explosive inspector'(or E
South Carolina, has issued the following
statement, relative to the regula- .
tions which are to obtain In this department
of the war work:.
The new law for the protection of
the country in the matter of explos- ?
lvee declares that all persons' who I
handle explosives or' thb constituent
elements must be iicensd. As th li- |
cense fee is-only 25c. it Ik apparent *
that this is not a revenue law,, but
is desired to perfect a register of all
the dealers handling anything which
could be U8ed disastrmislv mrnlnut lha I
government. The plan of safeguard- tl
ing is to have ah Inspector in each s
state, who is to havefen advisory coun- u
oil conslstfng of persons -from the Are t<
underwriters ^nd such like protective $
bodies. In each county there will be ii
licensors and the appointees thus far b
are the' clerks of court. OfcherB will be 1
named as the demand arises. . tj
The state inspector for .South Caro- o

at which time there was a conference
of all inspectors appointed. This E
conference was addressed by Secre.

bureau of mines and mining. The d
meeting was presided over by F. S. "
Peabody of Chicago, a millionaire
miner, who volunteered Ills Services $
to tha country apd will direct this
bureau of explosives. Among the in- $
speetors were well known miners from \
Alaska, and other Western States, including
Idaho, whose former govern- t
. Mr. Chamberlain took an interesting
part in . the meeting. l*ie state in- j
spector for South Carolina has made $
no public announcement, awaiting in- |
- hi ructions rroru wasmngton, which v
will '.be receivecl pe^Ua^"? la the next
few days. There is a grat deal more
In this proposition than the public
might Infer and 'experts are at work: 1
evolving regulations. It will, there- |
fore, require- time to promulgate the v
requirements of- the department. The ;
state inspector for South Carolina j
wishes to . prepare the public for an n
announcement that certafn compounds j
sold in drug stores Will be prescrlb- I
ed in the list of combustibles. The
list of these constituent elements has b
not been received from Washington, '
but will be in a few days. Each drug $
store in the statO handling sulphuric
acid, nitric, qcid and such things will b
be required to. obtain a license' there- 1
for from the clerk of court. C
Another matter to wbiclv the state
inspector'calls attention is the fact t;
that all places where explosives or
con? Dusuoie elements are stored
should be properly guarded. It Is necDr.
