Urges Immediate Peace.

Continuing, Herr Noske expressed the
desire for immediate peace with Rus
STA and declared that the peace ten
dency there would become a determin-
ing factor with the government. The
German socialists, he said, had been ad-
vised from abroad to start Il revolution.
Acceptance of that advice would en-
tail the greatest misery to the work
ers.
Herr Mueller, progressive. empha-
sized that Germany would not inter-
fere with the internal development of
Russia. The Russian people, he as
serted, were evidently striving toward
peace.
The American government. continued
the speaker, refused to recognize the
sea barrier as an impossible fact: new

gret war with the United States
Discussing the attitude of the Prus-
sian h~errenhaus.s Herr Mueller con-
tended that the members of the house
had started the new submarine cam
paign from fear of a new ~orientation.
This statement caused a commotion,
after which Herr Mueller proceeded,
declaring that the Ravarian king en-
phasized that the people We're ripe for
a general equal and direct franchise.

APPEAL TO RESIDENTS TO DISPLAY FLAG
AS CONGRESS MEETS TO ACT ON CRISIS

Congress will meet o n Monday April !. and will consider such
measures as may be recommended by the President in view OF the
critical international situation.
To urge our citizens to be- patriotic is, of course, unnecessary, III
it has been thought by many that On the opening day o this mo-
mentous session Of Congress a dignifed demonstration. OF patriotic
feeling and of loyalty to the President would be appropriate
1t is, therefore, suggested that there should be a display Of the
American flag from residences and business houses n also or auto-

FAIRFAX HARRISON IN
LETTER T ONEWLANDe

Washington, Dec. IL President
Wilson will 60 to congress for special
legislation to bring about unification
of the railroads during the war.
- The fact became known tontxht
after he had gone over the transporr:
tation system with Senator Newlands,
chairman of the senate Interstate
Commerce commission. He probably
will ask for legislation in an address
to be delivered before the holidays.
b Indications were that the president
has cOnfided to none of his as
sociates, his full intention, and offic-
ials were doubtful as to just what he
may ask. Some were of the opinion
that he might request action in line
with the suggestion of the Interstate
Commerce commission that antitrust
and anti.pooling laws might be sus-
pended during the war. Others point.
ed out that the commerce commits.
sion's report also carried the sugges.
ton that additional legislation might
be needed, were the government to
decide to take over, the operation OF
the roads. . ..
= ADVISORS DIVIDED.
The presidents advisors are divided
/ In their views as to what is necessary
to be done. Most Of them, however
have come ont for government oper
alton and some of the strongest sup
porters of this proposal declare the ex
ecutive already under the army ap
preparation act has power to take over
the roads for operation under an ad
ministrat0r. ....,1 -
The position of the railroads them
selves was set forth today in q letter
to Senator Newlands from Fairfax
Harrison, chairman OF the railroad
board. The railroads, Mr.. Harrison
declared, do not seek a repeal of any
legislation, believing the cooperative
use Of facilities recently put into oper
alton will bring about maximum effic
iency. Neither do they seek a loan
from the government, he said, though
government aid Is asked in Obtaining
for them ON their own individual
credit new capital needed.
ROADS WANT INCREASE.
Further measures to make the roads
more efficient, Mr.. Harrison suggested
would be an increase in rates, priority
for transportation Of new material, an

government freight and exemption
from the draft for railroad employees.
The railroads opposition to govern

among officials who have followed the
situation, but some surprise was ex-
pressed at their objection to suspen-
sion of provisions against pooling

many officials complete cOordina.
ton Of rail systems cannot pc accom-.
plished until the roads pool their tEaf-
fic, which of itself involves pooling
of profits.
POOLING ADVANTAGES.
The advantages In pooling have
been pointed to as the chief argu.
ment for government operation, since
the government directing the lines
could pool traffic without violating
inhibitions imposed now for the pro-
lection of the public.
In its special report to congress a
few days ago the Interstate Commerce
commission held out two alternatives
for relief Of the transportation sys-
tenn One was the suspension of anti
trust laws, and the other government
operation. Commissioner McChord in
a supplementary opinion, which It has
been said since is approved ~ other
members, emphatically urged govern
ment operation as the only remedy.
! GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATOR.
Those within the government who
believe the railroads themselves can
handle the situation if given free rein
do not oppose legislation to make a
full pooling compulsory. II such a
course were pursued, they admit, 1t
might be advisable to name a gov
eminent railroad administrator who
would see that the wishes of the gov
, eminent were carried out.
Before seeing the president Senator
Newlands held "a conference with
members of the railroad war board at
which Mr.. Harrison's letter was de-
livered to him. Later Senator New.
lands gave out statement in which
he said: .-.. ..

General Conrad has sacrificed hun

and today the position Of the Austro

being necessary for the invaders to

season will also aggravate the hard

lines of communication.

1T may be stated, therefore, that
the Central powers have failed to oh.

due to staggering losses which our sol.
