Both in Italy and where they have
faced the British the Teutons have
paid dearly for any gains they have
made, and apparently now they are
endeavoring to find some easier spot
upon which to make a drive.
Possibly their search is leading them
toward the line held by the French,
running eastward from the region of
scissors through Champagne, past

along this front they are showing
great activity with their artillery.

Approval of such treaties by the

citizens, in many instances with the
express purpose of escaping military

President To Go Before Congress
Immediately With Plan Not
Yet Revealed.
ROADS Want INCREASE
Government Operation 10 Strongly Fa.
vored BY Many Of Presidents Ad-
visors-Roads Will Oppose An.
t!PooIlns Repeal.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Legislation to
bring about %unification of the railroads
during the wal is to be asked by Pres.
ident WILSON who will go before Con.
gress for that purpose.
The fact became known after he
had gone over the transportation
situation with Senator Newlands,
chairman of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. He will pro
badly ask for the legislation in an ad-
dress to be delivered before the holi.
days.
Officials were doubtful as to just
what the President may ask. Some
we're of the opinion that he might re-
quest action in line with the sugges-
ton with the Interstate Commerce
commission that antitrust and anti
pooling laws might be suspended dur
ing the war. Others pointed out that
the commerce commissions report al
so carried the suggestion that addi-
tional legislation might be needed,
were the government to decide to
take over the operation of the roads.
Majority for U. s. Operation.
The Presidents advisers are divid-
Cd in their views as to what is nee.
essary to be done. Most of them, how
ever, have come out for government
operation and that some Of the
strongest supporters of this proposal
declare the executive already under
the army appropriation act has power
to take v e the roads for operation
under an administrator.
The position of the roads them
selves was set forth in a letter to
Sen. Newlands from Fairfax Harri-
son, chairman of the railroad board.
The roads, MI. Harrison declared, do
not seek a repeal of the anti-pooling
and antitrust laws, believing the co
operative use of facilities recently put
into operation will bring about max
imum efficiency. Neither do they
seek a loan from the government, he
said, although government aid is ask.
ed in obtaining for them on their own
individual credit new capital needed.
Railroads Desire Rate Increase.
Further measures to make the
roads more efficient, Mr.. Harrison sug.
gested, would be an increase in rates,
priority for transportation of new
material, appointment of a traffic
manager for government freight and
exemption from draft for railroad EN-
ployes.
