RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re.
lief - President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to


Their Needs.
The committee Of railroad execu-
tfyes. headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,,
thirty-five Of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ticulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-'
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
Of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum Is a.
strong presentation Of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
conflagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general =
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: "By reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting Independently of each other, as
we'll as through the action Of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly, increased.
No criticism is here made of'the gen
eral theory Of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other, hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES 1t as "a lucid statement of plain
truth The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tMuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be- sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
am glad to- do so because / think
the needlvery real"
The conference was. certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
! president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to anew world OF
effort in.which, everyone may cooper
ate.
There, are many important prob.
lens in our complex civilization that
1 will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads Is one of them. The man
with the money is factor that cam
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public Is an inter
ested party that should always be con
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate In the solu
ton Of our railroad problems.

Judge Lindsey Attacks Sage
and Carnegie Foundations

ital IS oppression, built on an economic
system which permits few to- reap
the rewards Of the work Of thousands
and then to distribute that wealth so
the system can be maintained.
:" If the foundations were really de-
signed for the work they would have
us believe, their first step would be to
destroy the system which makes such
foundations possible.
Thousands Of dollars have been sent
to Europe for the suffering Belgians
by men identified with the interests
the foundations represent. No one has
ever heard of our own sufferers being
SO aided. II. G. Phipps contributed
5000 to starving Belgian children. At
his back door in Colorado there are
thousands Of starving women and chill.
dren, victims of industrial warfare.
They are as innocent as the Belgians.
But Phipps has not contributed one
cent for their relief By maintaining
the conditions under which his hirelings
live, Phipps is able to amass hundreds
of thousands Of dollars yearly"
Judge Lindsey said he did not take
the attitude that foundations did no
good. He said there was no doubt that
they aided in the building up Of insti-
tutions to alleviate certain effects. But
he insisted they always built in the
direction they wanted the development
to 60.

New York, Jan. 19.-German REPORTS

Indeed, siege Of Verdun has be.
come an impossibiity. Since tho Ger.
man 42 centimeter guns demonstrated
their superiority over all modern forti.
fled places, the defensive strategy at
Nerdun has been radically altered.
Elaborated constructed forts of steel
and concrete are not protecting the
corner Of the eastern gateway to
France. Trenches are now doing the
work Of permanent Notifications.
Extending for miles beyond the for,
est are artillery and infantry positions
dug into the earth or concealed in the
woods.
These dcfenses, not Anticipated al
the beginning Of the war, have been
prepared since the 20 centimeters
demonstrated the futility Of fortress
warfare. Field tactics, therefore, and
not immoble artillery defcnses OF
permanent fortifications are protect
ing Verdun.
It is probable that the Verdun forts
have been denuled of their guns
which have been moved forward to The
battle front for operations in tht
open, Were II not for this quick
change in defensive methods adopted
by the French, the Verdun forts would
now be cumbled ruins. The French
warfare, thus adopted, makes an IN
yestment impossible, or rather robs tn,

msaning. To surround Verdun now
means to dig an outer circle Of en-
treuehmeuts facing the trenches oc'
cupied by the French. To do this safe

II would neeessitate also the radica

in order to cut off the main French
communications with Verdun
Furthermore, Verdun, no doubt, has
been plentifully stocked with ammuni

therefore would be unable to force III,
