FEDERAL JURISDICTION
 OVER RAILROAD QUESTIONS
Favored by Howard Elliott, President
 of the New Haven Road.

Boston, Dec. 10.-Federal jurisdic- Iion over some of the larger railroad questions" which are now under au- thOrity of state commissions or legis- latures was favored by Howard Elliott, president of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad, when he closed the company's case in connec- ton with the inquiry of the public service commission into the New Ha- ven's financial condition. The public interest would be better served and a great waste of energy and time of those who are trying to administer the properties would be obviated by such a change" ne said. Issue of stocks and bonds were included in the sub- jects which he had in mind.
 After F. A. Farnham, counsel foI the road, had made a plea for valida- ton by this state of the roads record in the past, President Elliott urged upon the commission the expediency of abandoning any further restrictive powers which might be contemplated and said that no additional penaltieC should be imposed for the violation oi any laws now on the books.
 Mir Elliott advocated an extension in the powers of railroad companies permitting them to acquire securities of leased lands and to purchase ths stock or securities of any company If the public service commission finds such purchase to be in the public in terest."

Columbus, Ohio, Dec 1O.-President Wilson today expressed the opinion that there will be no patched up peace following the European war. before the Columbus chamber of com merce he urged American business men to mobilize their resources in order that the United States might be prepared to play a more important part in the worlds affairs and bring about justice after the present war.
 Active Every Minute.
 The president spent eighteen hours in Columbus, during which he was active every minute. In addition to the chamber of commerce speech, he delivered an address tonight before the Commission on Country and Church Life of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, shook hands with more than 1000 of the state capitol, spoke briefly to a large crowd from the steps of the capitol and took a long walk about the streets of Columbus.

 When the present great conflict in Europe is over, the world is going to wear a different aspect" Mir Will son declared.
 No Patched Up Peace.
 q do not believe there is going to be any patched up peace. I believe that thoughtful men of every country and of every sort will insist that when we get peace again we shall have guarantees that it will remain and that the instrumentalities of justice shall be exalted above the instrument talities of force.

SOUTH AMERICAN
 COMMENT ON MESSAGE.
Press Unanimous in Praise of Presi-
 dent Wilson's Attitude.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 1O.-La Razon, commenting on President Wilson's message, says that the United States will not taken D arms for an aggres- sion against the other American na- tions. Continuing, La RazOn says:
 There are elsewhere dangers which suggest the need for tranquility and solidarity. Neutrality, however, with out any provision for defense, has no value President Wilson's message sounds the alarm in order to uphold the rights of civilization.'
 Other newspapers comment favor ably on the message. La Manana says: MT. Wilson's message embodies a fine conception of American politics and bears witness to the greatest ele- vation of mind, because it is inspired by honesty. It is therefore necessary to reject all apprehension, entertained by a few, towards the so called North American peril"
 La Prenza: Tn the course of the last few years the high political tribune at Washington has become fla vorably inclined toward the Occidental hemisphere. Let us listen to the lang guage of anity and solidarity, founded on mutual respect and every ones right. Here we already gave some American personalities to understand that the Monroe doctrine might re- nounce the tutelary character it as- stunned at first and must evolve towards Pan-Americanism. We have never hitherto listened to anything more beautiful and more authoritative than President Wilson's message, which moved us deeply and afforded us an immense satisfaction. It is an invalu- able document so far as the destiny o1 the Americas is concerned. It is inn bued with the principles set by ROOse- welt, Taft and Root. We rejoice over the event and proclaim our adhesion to MT. Wilson's policy

HOPEWELL TO BE REBUILT
 WITH BRICK AND CONCRETE Most of the Homeless Have Been Taken to Petersburg or Richmond.


 HOpeweu. Va. Dec. 1O.-Residents made plans to replace with buildings of brick and concrete the fiimsy town of frame structures that was swept away by yesterdays fire.
 The meeting. attended by more than a thousand of the towns 25,0OO home less inhabitants, also reconstructed the temporary government and took first steps toward securing a city charter. A commission was elected to have charge Of municipal affairs until the meeting of the Virginia legislature next month, the earliest date at which a charter could be ratified.
 State troops, brought here late yes terday to control the frantic throngs driven from their homes by the con fiagration, still were on guard tonight. but there was little for them to do. Most of the homeless either had been taken to Petersburg or Richmond or were being cared for in the few re- maininE buildings of the town by re- lief committees from neighboring cities.
 Conditional pledges amounting to s30 00G for relief work have been made by the business men of Petersburg alone. and the Petersburg city council appropriated an additional $I,5O0.
 The Du POnt powder mill, with which HopewelI grew up in the last few months. and whose employees make up almost the entire population of the place, was working as usual today, al- though it was necessary to bring in some of the men from Petersburg and Richmond and return them to shelter there at the end of the shifts. The plant was not damaged in the fire.

 at Erie, Pa.

Erie, Pa, Dec. 1O.-Two of the three Anchor line grain elevators owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad company here were destroyed by fire early to- day with their occupants, about 50O,- 900 bushels of wheat.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF
 WAR ON UNITED STATES
Discussed in Seven Column Article in
 Berlin Vorwaerts.

London. Dec. II, FPS a. m-Copies of the Berlin NOrwaerts received here contain an article several columns in length discussing the probable com mercial and financial effects of the war on the United States. Under the heading, The Real Victor" the writer concludes that the United States will reap the greatest economic advantages from the war and that neither Ger many nor Great Britain stands to gain anything, whichever wins.
 The sudden withdrawal of Germon exports from the world markets" says the article, affords the United States a tremendous opportunity for extend ing its trade, particularly in South America, while the accompanying fin ancial expansion will be made easy by the new American currency laws.
 If the American operations are skilfully carried out, the English bankers in South America will feel their effects and the Americans will rapidly secure such financial predom- inance in the southern continent as under ordinary circumstances could be expected for fifty years.
 The European belligerentS must continue for a long time their large orders of merchandist and foodstuffs from the United States and the money with which they will pay for them will provide plentiful resources for the commercial campaign in South Amer ica.
 Thus we see that the war has not resulted just as the English had ex- pected. True. German trade has been shattered, but now amidst the din of war a new competitor is seen arising who will soon prove more dangerous to Englands position in the world mraket than Germany would have been thirty years hence.
 While the European countries grad ually are eXhausting themselves the United States is paying off all its lia- bilities and laying up a financial re- serve which will assure her a per- manent place in world commerce. place which the enthusiastic Amer ican statesman of the past never draemed possible"
