New York, Dec. 26.-UnleeS railroad
rates are adjusted tor make revenues
conform proportionately to expenses
federal control of the country's rail-
roads is inevitable, according to the
annual report of the general. executive
committee of the Railroad Business
Association made public here tonight.
IF total revenues are not made ade-
quate to total expenditures" the re-
port states, no question will long re-
main as between federal and state au-
thority because sooner Or later the
federal government under these condi-
items must take over the roads. In that
case the states would lose all voice
whatever and federal reorganization,
if any, would present the grotesque
spectacle of one political officer super
vising another whose tenure process
from the same source of power as his
own.
"The present law" the report points
out, declares that each rate shall be
just, reasonable and non -discrimina-
tory. 1t is our purpose to recommend
that two additional elements be en-
bodied in the statutory rule:
"1-That in regulating rates total
revenues shall be permitted sufficient
for total legitimate purposes.
"2-That legitimate purposes shall
embrace the attraction of investment
for improvements and extensions.
I'VE yield to none in favoring eff
fective federal supervision under con-
ditions advantageous to the whole pub
lie while insuring that the state may
retain such jurisdiction as local self
government requires; but at the same
time we emphasize this aspect,

spondence Of the Associated Press)-
Five hundred Christmas trees, brought
all the way from the New England
woods. are giving q real Christmas at
mosphere in Porto Rico this year. The
trees arrived only this week and were
quickly purchased, most Of them going
into American homes, although quite
q few Of them will be found in Porto
Rican homes to add to the Christmas
celebration.
Porto Ricans are coming to observe
Christmas as day of gift giving al
most to as great a degree as Three
Kings Day, Jan. 6. and Santa Claus IL
almost as popular with Porto Rican
children as are the Three Kings.
Instead Of hanging up a stocking
on Three Kings Day. Porto Rican chill
dren place bundles Of grass and ves-
sells Of water in the yard or on the
doorstep SO that the camels on which
the Three Kings ride may eat and
drink while the kings are distributing
their gifts.

PEACE ADVANCEMENT
Continued from Page One)

The difficulties which nearly broke up
the first Hague conference were recall
ed today.
That Germany's proposal for IAN
immediate meeting of delegates at a
neutral place is regarded as admit
teddy much more specific than the orig
mai proposal to enter forthwith into
peace negotiations.
How far the United States can or will
be concerned can only be decided by
President Wilson. Officials assume that
Germany expects the United States to
inform her enemies of her reply
. Two features of the note beclouded tho
situation Slightly and caused some con-
Germ among officials here. The first was
the giving out of the text in Berlin be-
fore it had opportunity to reach Wash
ington, and the other was the connection
of the reply with the original German
peace proposal. President Wilson went
to great pains in his note to disavow
any association or influence with this pro-
posal and the assertion in the German
reply was somewhat disquieting to off,
Gals who foresee the necessity of prob
ably .reiterating the position of this gov
eminent Pending receipt of the official
text attention turns to the reply of the
Entente governments. At their embassies
here the view prevails that their answer,
while expressing sympathetic regard for
the Presidents purposes and ideals,
would decline to negotiate on the status
quo. The Entente reply to the German
proposals is expected to be couched in
the sharpest language, probably taking
opportunity to lay stress on the moral
question to which their statesmen have
devoted much attention in public utter
ances.
Dispatches today from Petrograd out
lining the official view there foreshadow-
ing that the Allies would not discuss
peace terms until they stood In military
possession of territory they claim, at
tracted much attention

CABRERA DENIES
RIGHT TO LIMIT
.CARRANzA'S Time

New York, Dec 26.-Luis Cabrera, chair
man of the Mexican delegation on the
Mexican-American joint commission, said
here late tonight that no time limit had
been fixed for General Carranza either
to accept or reject the protocol proposed
by the INSTRUMENTATION conference at
Atlantic City. There was no understand
ing during the session of the joint COM
mission, he added, which gave the Amer
lean commissioners authority to impose
such time limit.
General Carranza, Mr.. Cabrera declared,
would have ample time to consider what
action he would take. Mr.. Cabrera said
he was surprised when informed that q
reply was expected by the United States
government today. Up to late hour to-
night Mr.. Cabrera said he had received
no instructions from General Carranza.
The relations between the United States
and Mexico he said are the same as
when the tentative agreement was first
signed by the commissioners at Atlantic
City
Remember said Mr.. Cabrera. "that
the next move in adjusting the relations
between this country and Mexico must
be Gen. Carranza." Questioned as to the
significance of this statement, Mr.. Cabre-
ra would give no explanation. He said,
however, that he knew nothing concern
ing General Carranzas attitude toward
the American demand that he ratify or
repudiate the protocol.
When the joint commission adjourned
in November, Mr.. Cabrera added, the I'M
Outstanding of the Mexican members was
that the joint commission would meet on
Jan. 2 probably in New York or Philadel-
phia. Not one word. Mr.. Cabrera de-
clared, had been said in the session of the
commissioners concerning loan to Mex
leo.

Elaborate Preparedness
Plan for Peace Outlined
Before Big Scientific Body

New York, Dec. 26-Preparedness for
peace through the medium of the highest
scientific development of resources which
would have to be employed in a war of
defence by this nation, was outlined today
by George F. kunz, retiring vice presi-
dent of the section on social and eco
nomic science, before delegates to the
convention of the American Association
for Advancement of Science.
I'm the preparedness for peace" Mr..
kunz said, I'VE fine a splendid field for
the utilization of our projected museum
of peaceful arts If one of the great
powers had spent $4,000 in technical and
commercial schools the present war would
not have taken place and 20 times that
amount would not have been expended.
Cooperation and efficiency are the price
OF peace and the secret of success in war.
referring to the offensive power of the
submarine as shown in the war, Mr.. Kunz
said
1t behooves us to take time by the
forelock and to build great number of
these powerful, though perhaps some
what perfidious engines of war We
should have at least two fleets of 200
submarines each. to guard our Atlantic
and Pacific coasts and the routes to the
Panama canal. This preparedness for
war in the sea depths should be supple
mented by an equally active preparedness

CRITICIZE SERVICE BY
n. y, n. H. & H. R. R.

Boston, Dec 26.-Passenger service
on the lines of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad in this
state is severely criticized by the Pub
lie Service Commission in report
made public today. The company Is or
dered to furnish monthly statements to
the commission, showing in detail each
DELAY of five or more minutes in pas
senger trains upon all divisions in this
state, together with the reasons there
for, and also a statement showing the
status of plans for the Improvement OF
the passenger service. Lack of ade-
quate motive power is given by the
commission as the chief outstanding
cause for train delays. Other causes
assigned by the commission are: the
discontinuance of number of passen-
ger trains resulting in unnecessary
loads for engines incapable of perform
ing the tasks imposed upon them when
weather conditions are unfavorable;
the heavy and sudden increase in
freight traffic; the shortage of coal due
to increased industrial activity and
disturbance in water transportation
conditions; unusual storms during the
winter of 1856 and the heavy in
crease in the parcel post. business with
the delay in handling the same.

of airplanes, .hydro-airplanes and Zeppe
Inns
Some of the suggestions in the pre-
paredness for peace program were
stated as follows: The entire popula-
ton of the United States should be
card catalogued and the men classified
according to their various abilities or
adoption under the letters A, B, c, d,
etc, showing their fitness for these va
rious vocations according to percent
age up to 100
THE government should own trains
which, though of simple construction,
would afford comfortable accommoda-
tons for large forces of men, provid-
ing them with adequate sleeping ac-
commodations. There also should be
cooking trains, hospitals, etc.
THE importance Of having number
of our trunk lines double-tracked can
not be over-estimated.
TIE great war has shown us what
wonders scientific training can &C
complish in destruction and devasta-
ton. Let us hope that the United
States may continue to offer the world
an object lesson Of the value of peace
and that the magic wand of science
may continue to be used by us for the
work of peace or at the worst for the
defense of the freedom of our fair
land against ruthless aggression

lily the record for 1916 will barely ex-
ce9d that figure, although the volume
Of industrial activity and hence rail-
way earnings is considerably greater
than in any previous year. Those who
deal with investors continue as for
several years past to report tndiner-
ence Of their clients toward railway
securities except for refunding and for
mortgage bonds, now rarely feasible,
upon unencumbered property.
I'VE approve abstention by leg1sla-
tive bodies from dealing with rates.
We see no exception even in so costly
an item as the eight-hour law. The
new legislation which we urge is that
if at any time in any place rate advices
should become necessary in the pub
lie interest authority and obligation to
sanction them will explicitly reside by
statute in a specific branch Of the gov
eminent.
The public interest-that is the yard
stick proposed by the railroad leaders for
measuring the provisions which they ad-
vocate. Responding in kind, members of
the Newlands committee have rivaled one
another at keeping the discussion at that
high level. Commercial organizations
having membership in 4S states have
transmitted to US declarations for uniu
ed regulation where state regulation con-
ficts with federal More than 60 such
bodies have urged that the statute pro-

n. E.. DA|RYMEN TO
ORGANIZE DEC. 80

To enable all New England dairymen
to organize in a single day! Such is the
master stroke planned by the directors,
officers and members of the great New
England Milk Producers Association.
Richard Pattee, secretarv y. e. NJ. P. A,
has issued a call for every cow-c<vning
farmer in each county in each state of
all New England to meet at the county
seat next week Saturday, Dec. 30, at 10
A. NJ. An organizer or representative
will be present at each of these meetings
to tell all about the n. E. NJ. p. A.. what
1t has done and what it aims to do.
Objects in View
The idea is better prices for better
milk n. E. NJ. z. A. proposes that the
brand Made in New England applied
to dairy products shall become so well
and favorably known to New England
consumers that every pound of milk ana
cream, butter and cheese, consumed by
the millions of consumers In New Eng
land shall be produced in New England.
1t is believed that this plan may double
the amount Of money paid to New Eng
land farmers for dairy products eventual
ly. 1t may do more for agriculture, for
rural New England than any other one
thing.
What Each Meeting May Do
Each county meeting next week Satur-
day. Dec. 30. beginning at 10 A. NJ, will
have one or more speakers from abroad.
1t will be under the combined auspices
of the agricultural interests of the coun-
ty. 1t will be provided with full sYgges-
tons as to just what to do and how to
do it, provided the farmers present APP
prove. One plan is that every township

sented by five or more farmers at this
