through discussing peace as spokesman
for the Allies, resounds with the din of

Sedition and Patriotism

1TOOVER'S patriotic efforts continue

element which, nevertheless, finds the week
a rough one Raids on the |. w. W. con-
tinue, particularly effective through dis
covery that one office alone had dispensed
100000 in seven months. This plentitude
of wealth among the "hallelujah buns"
tends to confirm the belief that Kultur is
footing |. w. w. bills. The seditious press
also feels more government pressure
through Senate bill requiring German
language papers to print English trans
lations of their critical comment in dupli-
cate columns. Then, too, Tom Watson
winds up his paper, while government
officers raid the Philadelphia "Tageblatt,"
finding discriminating evidence.
Among the vocal agitators Scott Near
ing suffers, his home being searched for
evidence. Alexander Berkman, released on
bond, is arrested in connection with the
Mooney bomb plot. Mooney, by the way,
is denied new trial-probably his death
sentence. Meantime Mayor Thompson of
Chicago files libel suits for over million
dollars damages as result of his shelter
ing the Peoples Council.
Loyal labor at Minneapolis, joining with
radical Socialists, leads the counter patrio
tic movement. A new American Socialist
party" composed of labor men and loya
elements in the old Socialist body, is in tn.
making, Samuel Gompers and John Spargc
cooperating.

The Senate also passes the $4,000, 100000
tax bill, raising the House half billion,
but decisively defeating the consumption
Of wealth element. Higher taxes on
amusement also fail in the upper chamber,
"a we'll as the breakfast Table" schedules
and postal increases.
Food

ID administration for activity. Meat
volunteers for regulation and is accepted,
though Hoover shows that prices are
bound to remain high until livestock pro-
duction is greatly increased. Sugar will
be controlled after October 1. More senti-
mental, but just as effective, is the end
of distillation of gin and whiskey for the
period of the war-and perhaps ever after
ward. The change saves food enough
annually to feed an army of three million
men, and is effected with almost no dis
location of industry. Incidentally, the
years grain crop is bumper, corn alone
Welding a billion bushels more than last
year. Wherefore corn pone" campaign
impends. Meantime Canada fixes S2.2l as
her wheat price; the United States Cham
Der of Commerce urges fixing of all prices
during the war; and the small neutrals
increase their plants.

Military at Home

n UR army grows apace, the initial 8
~ per cent Of the draft forces spending
their first nights in camp. Promising men
in the cantonments will be trained in Q
third officers course soon to start. At the
same time the Senate votes to draft
friendly aliens, one million men being thus
affected. One million more drafted men
ere included in plans for charging the
army to more than two million men by
New Years and three million by next
summer. With such affairs going smooth
ly, Colonel Reichmann is absolved Of
treason; the small arms ammunition in
vestgation will probably blame cheap
chemicals; fare-up in the frankfort
Arsenal kills two workers, and war mora
forums for soldiers and sailors are dis
cussed in Minneapolis. A happy climax
to the week is the announcement Of the
Liberty motor" perhaps the worlds best
airplane engine, devised and standardized
in twenty-eight days by American engi-
neering skill.

Washington, Dec. 2S.--The railroads of the United States have passed into government possession at noon today. as Secretary McAdoo, designated by President Wilson as director general of railroads was delegating to the railroads war board the task of op- erating them for the present
 The war board comprising five oi the countrys foremost railroad eX- ecutives, who have been in supreme charge of the roads for the last nine months, were called into conference at II o'clock to discuss plans for welding all transportation ines into a single government operated system They left the treasury department several hours later with instructions 10 continue their discussion and sub nit immediately a plan of operation to the director general
 Secretary McAdoo issued his first formal order designed to speed up freight movements, telegraphing all railroad presidents and directors in struction to move traffic by the most convenient and direct routes. At the same time he ordered them to con tinue operation of their lines in con- formity with the presidents procla- nation putting them under govern ment control
 There was no indication tonight whether ATr MeAdOo intended event. tally to dlsplace the war board with an organization Of his own or to con- tinue its organization for the dura- ton cf the war It was made clear, however, that it will continue to func- ton until the director general de- cides that a better system can be devised
 The order that freight move by the most expeditions routes open the way for a pooling of traffic impossible heretofore by reason of statutes de- signed to prevent the practice by car riers operated under private direc- ton It takes from the shipper the right to route his freight as he wishes and leaves to the railroad traffic manager the task of sending it most directly and where there is least con- gcstion.

Tokio, Thursday Dec. 27.--John F. Stevens. chief of the American rail- way commission to Russia, arrived al Nagash on December 19 from Vladi- commodations of an entire hotel in Nagaski for the 320 members of his staff.
 In a statement to the Associated Press. Mir Stevens said he fully ex- poets soon to return to Russia to prosecute the proposed work of as sisting in the reorganization of Rus san rail communications He denied the report that he was returning to America.
 The commission is composed of many of Americas best railway engi- neers and their absence from America involves a sacrifice of home interests, but MT. Stevens regards the Russian situation as one of the most import ant in the world He said:
 "The demand on America by the European war front is important, but the Russian situation is trebly i'm portant as it involves the return of a million and a half German and Austrian effeetives and gives unlim- tied possibilities to the German or ganization of Russias resources and man power.

 Joseph Hayelock Wilson, president of the International seaman's union characterized the memorandum as the most contradictory document he ever had seen presented to a trades union congress.
 Until We have made the German nation feel that it has made grieyous mistake and it has repented of its crimes and foul murders. our aim should be to carry on the war;, MT. Wilson said
 James Henry Thomas, assistant general secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, said that when peace was discussed it must be a world peace. He added that if Ger many did not agree to labors aims labor must flight on 10 secure what labor believed to be right
 An attempt to amend the motion to consider the memorandum was made by Stephen Walsh, parliamentary sec retary of the government board and a labor member of parliament. Mir Walsh contended that as many branches of the national labor move ment had not lad an opportunity to consider the memorandum further dis cussions of it should be adjourned for q month.
 The proposed amendment was re- iected by a vote of 2,132 to 1.164.

meated by the most clever German propaganda in every way and every where among all classes of the peo- pie. Nevertheless, I believe the bet ter judgment of the masses of the people will be asserted and Germany will not succeed in forcing a separate peace. Such peace cannot be con- cluded if the allies promptly give their help and suggestions.
 "The Maximalists now in control are much stronger than generally ac- credited. In any future reorganiza- tlon or attempts at a staple govern nent the Maximalists must be con- sidered and handled rightly.
 "The chaos is most evident in the manufactories and railway shops where the workmens' and soldiers delegates are in control They work or not, as they please, and every where may be seen workmen loafing. Women are doing much of the work in the shops, along the railway tracks and in the fields, and even acting as brakemen. Where one woman is working, 300 men are loafing.

BRITISH WORKERS ARE

On the Fighting Fronts Palestine Again Has Come Into the Front Pc. sition of Fighting. the British Hav- ing inflicted Another Severe Defeat on the Turks Near Jerusalem.

New York, Dec. 2S.--Great Britain and France, respectfully, through their prime minister of foreign af- fairs, have made known to the world that the terms under which the leu tonic allies seek general peace are not sufficient. And backing their prime minister the British proletariat, represented by national labor con- ference, has reaffirmed without equivocation that it is the determine tion of labor to continue the war in order hereafter to make the world safe for democracy.
 Fortified by the known attitude of President Wilson as to the require- ments Of the United States. if the war
 is to end and peace concluded, the utterances of Premier Lloyd George
 and Foreign Minister Pinchon. and the almost unanimous sentiment of the British workers, seemingly make certain that the Teutonic allied prof
 fer, given in reply to the Russian Bol- shevlki proposals, will go for naught. unless it is materially added to ana brought into line with the demands
 that the United States and the en- tente allies have laid down as the
 concrete basis for the discussion of peace.
 Nevertheless the Bolshevlki ele-
 ment in Russia hss not lost heart that something may come from the Czernin proposal at the Brest- Litovsk conference, which has taken rest until January and meanwhile Trotzky, the Bolsheyiki foreign min ister, purposes to send note to the entente allied embassies in an en- deavor to have them participate in further peace parleys, and also is ---------------- -------------------'----------
