ASK MEANING OF JUST PEACE
President Wilson Is Seeking Some
Tangible Word About Terms
Of Peace.

Observation-Disclosures as to their
exact meaning in seeking "a just and
permanent peace" is the whole pur.
pose Of the note addressed to all the
belligerents by President Wilson. The
United States desires full, practical
and detailed statement from each Of
the governments addressed.
This government does not know, and
feels that it has had no real means of
knowing, what terms would be re-
quired by each of the belligerents to
make peace. 1t regards the recent
speeches Of the leading statesmen in
all countries as vague and underlined,
and sees nothing in them that would
enable a conference to draw up a
treaty. All speak of the rights of small
nations, the repugnance Of conquest
and the guarantees OF a permanent
peace, but no one nation has yet gone
into what It means by those phrases
in way that the government of the
United States can understand.
Recent press comment has been
taken to enhance that vagueness.
France, for instance, has not disclosed
if what she considers a Just peace
means the evacuation Of her northern
provinces, or in addition to that the
restoration Of Alsace-Lorraine or If in
addition to both those claims she ex-
poets money indemnity for the dam
age of invasion, or beyond that If she
has an actual program for doing away
with so-called German militarism. In
short, the United States asks what
would she accept as the basis of peace,

Federal Board Grants Demands Of the

New York.-An eight-hour day, an
increase In wages of cents an hour
and straight pro rata overtime, was
granted to Remembers of the Switch
mems Union employed by thirteen
eastern and middle western railroads,
in an award filed here by the Federal
board Of arbitration that heard their
differences.
The decision Of the board had been
eagerly awaited by the railroads in
general and the four major brother
hoods of railroad trainmen for what
bearing 1t might have on the contro-
versy between them over the Adamson
act, in which the eight-hour day is a
question at issue.
The decision in the switchmen's
case says that EIGHT hours or less
shall constitute days work" gives
IAN increase Of 5 cents an hour on the
present rates of pay" and rules that
overtime shall be paid at pro rata
rates" to be computed ION the basis
Of the actual minutes worked"
Switchmen at present receive a max
imum hourly rate of 40 cents. The
award increases this rate to As cents,
so that, as explained by Judge Chas. B.
Howey, chairman of the board, on the
eight-bOur basis they will receive $3.50
fer a days work, 40 cents less than
they received under the ten-hour basis.
By working ten hours under the new
rate they will receive $3.50, or so cents
more than under the old rate.

Stock subscription books of the

pected, however that the government
will have to supply most Of the 49,
100000 capital under that section Of
the law which empowers the secretary
of the treasury to make up the sub
scribed stock.
Temporary directors, five to each
bank, will be named, probably within
the next three weeks, by the board.
AS soon as the banks have been or
ganized and borrowers have subscrib-
ed to $4,000 of the stock of each bank
the temporary directors will surrender
their authority to boards Of nine direct.
ors each. six of whom will be named
by the farm loan board. The perma-
nent directors will serve three years
and receive per diem compensation, as
in the case of federal reserve bank d.
rectors.
Each borrower must subscribe to
stock in the bank from which he Dor
rows to the extent Of five per cent of
his loan and the original subscribers
to the capital stock are required to
surrender their holdings as they may
be needed to meet this situation.
In designing locations for the banks
the board was guided chiefly by the
needs of rural sections. This has re-
suited in placing only two Of the IL
banks in New England and Middle At
