Upon Efforts of Roads and Brother
HOODS to Get Together.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Reports that
railroad and brotherhood heads in
peace conferences have planned to
propose the repeal of the Adamson act
and the substitution of a working
agreement of their own making for it,
aroused Representative Adamson, au-
thor of the law, to declare that Con-
gress would Spank both sides to the
controversy if necessary"
Mr.. Adamson, who is the House rep
resentative of President Wilson in
railway legislation matters, is willing
to cooperate in any plan employees
and employers may evolve for the in
depreciation of his law as applied 10
working conditions, but will vigorous
ly oppose repeal of it as he thinks will
the majorities of both houses.
Congress will not agree to any re-
peal of the Adamson law" he said.
The measure was passed in good faith
and IL is a constitutional enactment
regulating hours of labor and not
wages.
Il hope that the negotiations be-.
tween the railroads and their employees
will result in an agreement which will
not make further legislation necessary,
but Congress will see that the public
gets a fair deal. II it becomes neces-
sary to spank both sides, we'll spank
them, though l hope that won't be nec-
essary."

Progress 10 Threatened"
THE spiritual and material prog
ress which were the pride of Europe
at the beginning of the Twentieth cen
fury are threatened with ruin. Ger
many and her allies, Austria-H Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey, gave proof OF
their unconquerable strength in this
struggle. They gained gigantic advan-
tages over adversaries superior in
number and war material. Our lines
stand mistaken against ever repeated
attempts made by many armies.
The last attack in the Balkans has
been rapidly and VIGOROUSLY over
come. The most recent events have
demonstrated that further continuance
of the war will not result in breaking
the resistance of our forces and the
whole situation with regard to our
troops justifes our expectation Of fur
ther successes"
IF, in spite of this offer Of peace
and reconciliation, the struggle should
go on, the four allied powers are re-
solved to continue to a victorious end,
but they disclaim responsibility for
this before humanity and history. The

offices of your excellency, ask the gov

of the neutral power addressed in

The advocates of this course are con-

vered to advantage Of Germany.

PROSPECTS FOR PEACE

Germany has SEN in effect an in
vltation to Entente Powers, neutral
nations acting as messengers, to join
in parley to discuss possible basis of
peace.
Semiofficial announcement was
made in the United States outlining
terms that Allies may gain some idea
Of Germany's probable concessions.

motives.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Frederick c..
Walcott Of New York, who recently
investigated conditions in Poland and
Belgium for the Rockefeller founda-
ton, told a number of senators and
representatives who met at the home
of Miss Mabel T. Boardman, OF the
Red Cross, that a fund of $500, 000, 900
collected in this country and offered
for relief of non-combatants in Europe
would be a powerful peace influence
at this time.
He said such an act would tend to
create great popular demonstrations
for peace among civilian populations
of warning nations, because they would
be anxious for the assistance in re-
facilitating their homes and restor-
ing norma. living conditions.
Wants Popular Contributions.
Mr.. Walcott suggested that a fund
OF that size should be raised by com
bined popular contributions and con-
gressional appropriation. Consider
ing the wealth of the United States,
he declared it was not an exorbitant
sum to give. Since 1914 the estimated
aggregate income of the United States
has been $50, 600, 100000, he said, and
the combined offerings for war suf-
ferers has amounted to $40, 000, 900, or
one-twentieth Of l per cent of the in
come.

London, Dec. ia dispatch to Reu.
ter's Telegram company from Petro.
grad says: The Duma has unanimous.
iy passed a resolution against the ac-
ceptance of the German peace propo.
sails, after a spirited speech by the
minister OF foreign affairs.
The text of the resolution, as re-
ceived here, follows:
The Duma, having heard the state
ment by the minister OF foreign az.
fairs, unanimously favors a categori-
cal refusal by the Allied government
to enter, under present conditions, into
any peace negotiations whatever.
1T considers that the German pro-
posals are nothing more than fresh
proof OF the weakness Of the enemy
and q hypocritical act from which the
enemy expects nc real success, but by
which 1t seeks to throw upon others
the responsibility for the war and for
what happened during 1t, and to excul.
pate itself before public opinion in

ULTIMATE ADOPTION OF
RESOLUTION PREDICTED
Issue Brought to Attention of Senate
When Sheppard Bill to Prohibit
Manufacture and Sale OF Liquor
in District of Columbia Be-
comes Unfinished Business.

Washington, Dec. 16.-N Nationwide
prohibition took a long stride toward
congressional consideration when the
House judiciary committee unexpect-
edly voted to recommend adoption OF
the resolution to submit a constitu-
tional amendment forbidding the
manufacture and sale of liquor for
beverage purposes in the United
States.
Even the most enthusiastic cham
pions of the amendment had not ex-
pected favorable action so soon from
the committee which. at the last ses-
sion, voted to postpone it's considera.
ton indefinitely.
Prohibitionists Are Jubilant.
That the resolution will progress
far through the various legislative
stages OF Congress at this session Is
problematical. Administration lead
ers doubt that it will reach the senate
In time for action.
Prohibition advocates are jubilant,
however, and predict ultimate adop-
ton of the resolution and reference of
the amendment to the legislatures Of
h various states at a much earlier
date than they heretofore had hoped
for. A two-thirds majority in botn
houses is required.
Issue Brought Before Senate.
Coincident with the committees &C.
tion, the prohibition issue was brought
directly to the attention Of the Senate
when the Sheppard bill to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of liquor in the
District of Colur'b ia became unfin.
ished business to be kept before the
Senate until disposed of. AS an amend
ment to this bill, Senator Underwood
has proposed o referendum to the male
voters of the district. Senator Kern
