GoUernment O0nership
 Of Radio Stations Urged

Washington, January 7-Government ownership and control of all radio sta tions in the United States South and Central America, was advocated by Secretary Daniels of the navy today in addressing delegates to the Pan American Scientific congress, repre- senting 20 American republics who gathered at the state department for an informal discussion on wireless communications. The delegates were practically unanimous in approving the secretary's plan, and agreed to submit the matter to their respective govern ments for consideration.
 MT. Daniels suggested that the visi- tors take up with their governments the question of granting concessions on wireless communication between the American nations. He said that where the governments were found to object to ownership and control of wireless they would be asked to estab- fish supervision that would. in time of emergency. place every radio sta tion under q central authority to be regulated by the government.

DEMANDS AN INQUIRY

The conference was called by Secre- tary Lansing at the request of MT. Daniels, who had present to meet the visitors Capt. w. H. G. sBullard super intendenl of the navy radio; Rear Ad- miral Bensons chief of naval opera tions, and other officers of the Amer lcan naval radio service
 Captain Bullard outlined the plan under which the naval radio service is conducted by the United States. At the request of the Peruvian minister Secretary Daniels agreed that he should furnish this information in writing, with view of ultimately securing. an interchange of wireless communica- ton between the nations through the use of similar apparatus and methods.
 MT. Daniels said tonight that the exchange of views today were wholly of an informal nature. He expressed the opinion. however, that actual ne- gotiations between the various govern ments soon would be In progress and that q concrete plan of action would be considered at another conference in the near future.
 Captain Bullard recommended in his annual report government control and practical monopoly for the transmits sion of government. business by wire. less. Alilendments to the existing laws to work out this scheme are being pre- pared by the naval board of radio or- ganization.

End of War Should Find the United States Ready to Do Business on Normal Basis-Warns of False Security

Washington, January 7-Secretary of Commerce Redfield in memor- andum on business conditions trans mitted to President Wilson today, pie lures the country as in the most pros- porous state of it's history. The warn ing is added, though, that wars in flation of commerce will last only un- til wars end and that business fore sight alone will prepare the United States for peace.
 The slump that will follow the end of the war abroad the secretary's summary declares. must find Americans ready to take their share of the worlds trade un- hampered by provincial notions. False values created by unusual conditions, he fears, may lull the United States into Q fancied commercial security.
 Tt is not to ne expected the secre- tary says, that our business movement will continue in it's present form. No one dreams that we can now or in the future maintain an export movement of more than $5,0G0000, ,000 actual value, or that we may sanely expect an apparent net balance in our favor on merchandise transactions of $3,000,00O,0O0 in any one year.

By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January 7.-(Special. )-In the announcement today by Represen- tative Steagall that he had secured a position in the capitol postoffice for G. Ernest Jones of Clio. the public has an ether case in point wherein virtue re- ceives it's reward.
 There are few men in Alabama more widely known than the sage of Clio. Some years back. through the columns of his newspapers printed at his place of residence and at Clayton, he made valiant efforts in behalf of the ill-fated prohibition amendment which certain politicians desired to incorporate in the constitutions Later he appeared on the political horizon as staunch supporter of Capt. R. F. Hobson when the hero of the Merrimac made his startling cam paign against Senator Underwood De spite these untoward reyerses. MT. Jones did not retire in chagrin from the lime light of the public. On the contrary, he offered for membership in the electoral college, was elected was made secretary of the college, and was in part respon- sible for the sending to Washington of one of the fastest messengers Alabama ever commissioned

 ''The army could not bring it's guns and conveys through such rugged country. When we began to enter it. we had to destroy automobiles. wagons, vehicles and every sort of gun. Officers and soldiers wept as they demolized their guns, those pieces of steel which they called their French friends the ordnance having been made at Cruesot. The men had be- come attached to them and many artil- lerists served the same gun four years. Some officers refused to destroy their pieces. saving they preferred to use their last bit of strength in trying to save them; and some of them have succeeded and actually have brought their guns across
 After all these sufferings from cold, hunger and fatigue, many soldiers being barefooted, we are here
 Altogether there arrived by various routes 6000 women and children. The trag- edy of the situation is that the army has almost nothing to eat. The soldiers had no bread for four days, but small quan- titles of flour were kept for the women and children.''

Youngstown, O., January S.-After a night of footing and arson at the hands of a drunken mob the situation in East Youngstown was gradually being gotten url- der control early today, but the authorities expressed fear there would be another outbreak at daylight. The fire which had destroyed between 40 and 50 buildings was still raging, but the streets have been partially cleared of rioters and the fire department had been brought here from Youngs- town to combat the flames.
 The situation is tense, however, and fears are expressed that rioting may be resumed momentarily. For practically six hours crowds of men, many maddened with drink, ran through the streets, smashing win dows of buildings with clubs and then tearing out entire fronts. The rioters then would loot the place and apply the torch With the rioting at it's height, Oscar Diser, city solicitor of East Youngstown, organized body of citizens and, armed with revolvers, marched to tha point where the rioters had just footed building. The citi- zens fired volley over the heads of the rioters, who returned the fire.
 Diser ordered his men to fire again, this time pointing their weapons point blank at the mob. About half dozen men fell. Armed with night sticks the solicitor and his men waded into the rioters. us- ing their clubs freely and scattering them into groups, These were finally rounded up and loaded into various kinds of ve- hicies and taken to the county jail. The streets were in this way partially cleared so that the Youngstown fire department could be brought in to fight the flames
 Nearly half hundred men were ar rested and taken to jail while others were

.sIt is alike impossible and undesirable that these things continue. It is impos sibie for no other reason because the world has not the power to pay to any one nation such vast sums for any Ions period in addition to the waste of war The nations are not spending their in comes in our markets but their capital and, vast as it is, there are limits tc which the continuance of the processes is undesirable, for it would make us the Midas among the nations and produce g moral overstrain that would be dan- gerous.

TENSION REGARDING
 QUESTION LESSENED

Tension regarding the entire sub-
 marine question seemed to have les sened considerably. Austria in it's re- | ply to the last Ancona note, having assured the United States of its in- tentions to operate submarines with due regard for international law and the principles of humanity; Turkey and Bulgaria, it is understood, next will take steps to give such guarantees. It is stated authoritatively that Germany and Austria Hungary will use their influence to accomplish this end. The Lusitania controversy, except for the wording of the agreement to be entered into, is considered in Teu- tonic circles here as virtually being ended.
 Under the terms of the proposal sub
 mitted for the approval of the United States, Germany, while offering to pay
 an indemnity, makes the reservation that no admission of wrongdoing there
 by is involved. It is contended that the Lusitania was sunk as an act of
 reprisal for the British blockade of Germany.
 While Secretary Lansing is under
 stood not to have indicated to Count
 Won Berustorff whether the proposal
 was satisfactory, number of officials
 in a position to be familiar with the
 American attitude indicated that it
 would be accepted.

Sir Frederick Stopford Demands In quiry by War Office Into Circuni- stances of Landing of Troops

London, January 7--Some idea of the determined nature of the Russian blow on the Bessarabian front is conveyed by Petrograd dispatches today which state trated 400 guns on the Austrians' posi- tions at Czernowitz as preparation for an infantry attack The Russian com muncations do not yet claim that Czer- nowitz has fallen, but dispatches from German sources admit the Teutonic posi- ton there is critical
 It is not yet clear whether the Rus big general offensive movement of all the Russian armies from the Baltic to the Roumanian border, or merely indi- cate diversion of unparalleled magni- tude and fierceness designed to weaken the pressure of the central powers in the Balkans and incidentally on the Ital- ian front.
 FIGHTING IS BITTER
 The fighting has been of the most bit ter character, according to both the Aus trian and Russian reports. Few prison CTS are being taken and the infantry en- agreements are largely in the nature of hand to hand encounters
 All of the Russian operations thus far revealed are being pressed along the rail- way lines, which simplify the problems of the winter supply of food, ammunition and fuel.

PROSPERITY IS NOT
 CONFINED TO CLASS

Prosperity has grown general and no particular class is henefiting at the ex- pense of others, the secretary declares. Opportunity being opened to the railroads to take up long deferred development work will give work to thousands, he continues, and by it's indirect effects will keep many a factory busy.'
 Students of the railway problem know that in the past hard days much needed work has been left undone and that vast expenditures are needed soon to keep our railways abreast of the national needs v the secretary writes. .'The earnings now exist for these improvements and the financial system is available and the fiscal power to carry them out.

Washington, January 1.-Two com munications from Germany reached the United States today, one containing a proposal to pay an indemnity for the Americans lost in the Lusitania dis aster, which may bring negotiations on that subject to a conclusion, and the other conveying assurances that German submarine commanders oper- ating in the Mediterranean would not torpedo Eoncombatant ships of any character without warning them and according safety to their passengers and crew.
 The communications were delivered to Secretary Lansing by Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador. The secretary immediately sent them to President. Wilson.
 Official Washington tonight consid- cred that America and Germany at last were near a final agreement re- garding the conduct of submarine war fare. Officials made ma attempt to con ceal their qualification at the atti- tude Germany apparently has as- sumed. It is considered as virtually in harmony with the American viewpoint
