 It was everywhere agreed that the principal sticking point was the lack of a definite statement of terms such as President Wilson asked and such as Lloyd-GeOrge declared the allies would require if they were not to put their heads in moose with the rope end in the hands of the Germans" It is not beyond the realm of diplomacy, however. to find a way to bridge that difficulty and Germany's failure is not regarded as Q block to the negotia- lions, although it makes them more difficult
 Germany's declaration that she re- gards the work Of securing the world against future wars the work to be taken up after the present conflict was ended, was regarded with diversity of opinion.
 Officials who turned back and com pared the statement with the phrases of President Wilson's note did not find the two out of harmony, nor in disa- greement with the Presidents public utterances on world league to pre-

FREIGHT CARS HELD

Investigator Finds Cars De tained Longer Than Usual, With Mounting Prices, and Issues Warning.
(By Review Leased Wire)

BOSTON Dec. 26.-A wide spread and unneo ary detention of freight cars in various parts of the country, together with m abnormal shortage of freight equipment is indicated by re ports of special agents of the depart ment of justice and inspectors of the interstate commerce commission. Fed eral District Attorney George w. An derson stated today. MT. Anderson, who is conducting the federal govern ment's inquiry into the high cost of food and other necessaries- asks the cooperation. of railroads in reporting to him all unnecessary detentions of freSht car.
 In letters sent today to the New York, New Haven and Hartford, Bos ton and Maine. and Boston and Albany. railways. MT. Anderson wrote in part:
 We find that coal cars have been kept after reaching the delivery points from two to i've times the normal period for unloading. Such facts are mighty suspicious. They point to probable combinations ill restraint of trade, particularly when We find them accompanied by greatly enhanced prices, out of which extraordinary profits must have accrued to some of the apparently responsible for such detention of cars"
 Mir. Anderson suggested that the railroads should furnish him with daily lists of cars held unloaded more than 4S hours. He concluded:
 Tt is our view that such co-opera- tion between the railroads and this department will not only prevent many violations of the law which otherwise it might be the duty of the federal government to prosecute. but also to assist the railload"

 This is the official view of Germany's representatives so far as it has been formulated on the basis of the unof- ficial text The official copy has not been received tonight and President Wilson was keeping his mind open.
 NeutraIs Pleased.
 Neutral diplomatic quarters, roo, re- garded the note as a step toward peace, and rather leaned to the view that Germany might follow it with a confidential communication of some sort outlining her terms.
 The views of the entente embassies. frankly expressed, was that the note was not an answer to President Will sons communication but rather a document for circulation in Germany and in neutral countries with the real

serve peace; yet, there was an in definable opinion in official quarters that the ending of the war and the safeguarding of peace of the future were a joint problem so inseparable that one depended upon the other. Those taking this view referred to Lloyd-George's declaration that the allies would consider it possible to enter a conference only if the Ger mans would first offer reparation, res titution and guarantees.
 The German reply is regarded as not only failing to do this, but its sug- gestion that the work be left for the future, it is feared, may raise a diff cult obstacle for the allied statesmen to surmount with their own people to whom a durable peace has been held out as one of the foundations of the war.
 Unpopular as such a conclusion might be in the entente countries. the very enormity of tine subject. viewed in the cold light of diplomacy, is re garGed here as sufficient to require consideration.
 One opinion is that one conference might bind the opponents in a solemn promise and pledge to carry out reor- ganization of the international bal ance and leave the actual details such as demobilization, limitation of arma-

The United States office of Public Roads and Rural En-
cheering has always taken an active part in the good
roads movement; in fact, it was the pioneer In this work
as in the demonstration trains of the railroads in the
South it played a leading part. The American Highway
Association and other good road organizations have been

have made good roads one of the important courses in
their instruction the hope and expectation is that the en-
lthusiasm will spread to all men who are interested In the
welfare of the people. That the subject has attracted the
|attention of the lawmakers is evidenced by the increasing
number of bills offered in Congress at the last session
and at the current session providing for federal particl-
lpation in the building of good roads. Many of these meas.
lures have been impractical; but out of the abundance OF
suggestions there will be evolved a plan that will assure

mote the public welfare.

Further, it brings to mind the fact that all foreign gov

should the time ever come for them to awaken their thun-

came when the last inaugural of the much-tried man was
delivered. 1t was radiant with divine flashes.
A little later came the end and when his soul fled. thru
the ether men saw how white it was and bowed before it.
London Punch had been deriding Mr.. Lincoln for four
and embenishing its pages with contemptuous caricatures.
The editor of Punch must have caught a glimpse of the
radiance of that soul, for in its next issue, Punch figura-
lively, fairly went upon its knees in confession of it's guilt
and in cries for pardon.
Some people say the manner of his taking off added to
Mr.. LincOlns fame. That is not true. 1t drew immediate
and universal attention to him but had it been different
as men would have read the story of his life the final ver-
dict would have been, as it now is, that the life he lived fin
ally revealed perhaps the most wonderful character the
world ever produced, leaving the most majestic memory
of all the ages.-Goodwin's Weekly.

OUT OF UNITS COMES GREATNESS.

The world is made of atoms; the nations of the world
are units. Our republic is a unit among the rest, and is
what the lesser units, the states, make it. If the republic
is ever to aspire to be the most commanding unit among
the whole, it must be made so by the states-the units be-
hind it. What is the Utah unit doing to add to its great
ness and through it to the greatness of the republic? The
changes for good in the world are wrought by labor; la
Dor of the hands; labor of the minds, that in their success
sion carry on the worlds work.
What are we in Utah doing? How man new places for
men who need work have been created in the year gone
by? How many new enterprises have been launched dur
ing the past year which are offering places for men who
must live by the labor Of their hands?
Again we are all interdependent.
We all more or less depend upon each other. When Mr..
Bell was working to perfect his telephone, he was perhaps
dreaming that through it, so many people would need it,
that he might be able to save from it an independence. But
when he did perfect it he saw that to meet the demand for
lit, thousands and ten of thousands of men and women
would necessarily be given employment at fair wages, to
take up the mysterious voice which he had created and
was in fact a miracle, the voice of which with a few more
improvements might possibly be made to call responses
from the stars, but that its supreme use was in giving
poor men an women places where they might for them
selves gain honorable livelihoods.
When the power loom was invented in England and the
steam engine was utilized to supply the power, the work
ing men in that country banded together and destroyed
the factories under the fear that they would lose their old
places. Their eyes were blinded; they could not see that a
naked world was waiting to be clothed so soon as the
clothing became cheap enough, and that what they were
destroying was really destined to give millions besides
themselves employment and to make their country the
richest IF empires.
