The Presidents Statement.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The presi- dents statement on federal control of railroads follows:
 Il have exercised the powers over the transportation systems of the country which were granted me Dy the act of Congress Of last August, because it has become imperatively necessary for me to do so. This is a war of resources no less than of men, perhaps even more than of men, and it is necessary for the con- plete mobilization of our resources that the transportation systems of the country shall be organized and employed under a single authority and 2 .simplified method of co-ord:- nation which have not proved possi- ble under private management and control. The committee of railway executives who have been co-operat- ing with the government in this all- important matter have done the ut- most that it was possible for them to do; have done it with patriotic zeal and with great ability; but there were difficulties that they could neither escape nor neutralize. Complete unity of administration in the present circumstances involve upon occasion and at many points a serious dislocation of earnings and the committee was, of course. with out power or authority to rearrange charges or effect proper cOmpensa- ticns and adjustments of earnings.

on the battle front, disarmng those of the Rumanian who offered resist ance.
 An indication that things in Ger many are not going in accordance with the German governments de- sires, is the report that more than 300 members of the German minority, German socialist party, were arrested in Germany Christmas eve. This branch of the socialist long have Ge- sired peace, and refused to acquicscc in the governments war program.
 Germans Repulsed Again at Verdun.
 Once again the Germans have at tempted to break tho French front on the Verdun sector. Two assaults de- livered north of the Caurieres wood resulted in the deefat of the enemy and the infction of heavy casualties. The Germans at one point succeeded in penetrating French front line, but were immediately elected.
 On the northern Italian front there has been an abatement in the artillery activity between the Asiago plateau and the Brenta river, but intensive duels between the Brenta and the P- ave. Austro- German air squadrons attempting to bomb the Venetian plain towns of Treviso and Monte Belluno suffered the loss of II planes in spectacular air battles with the British and Italian aviators. Over Treviso 25 enemy machines were at tackled and forced to flee with loss of eight planes, while later squad ron of eight Austro- Germans in a fight over Monte Beluno lost three machines. All the British and Ital- ian aircraft returned safely to their bases.

9On the right bank of the Mouse (Verdun front) the artillery battle continues on the front north of Cau- rieres wood.
 "Information now at hand shows that the attack carried out yesterday by the Germans in this region was very violent. After strong artillery preparation the enemy sent forward two shock battalions. They were dis persed by the French fire. In the sec ond attempt parts of the enemy troops succeeded in approaching and posi- tions, but were immediately ejected in a spirited engagement. "The enemy dead remaining on the ground between the lines and in the wire enatnglements demonstrated the importance of the losses suffered by the Germans, who left prisoners in our hands,"
 Berlin, Dec. 27, via London.-The Italians attacked yesterday at Monte Tomba, on the northern mountain front, and were repulsed, the war of flee announces.

CONFLICTING TALES
 OF WYSE'S MURDER

Details of the death of Constable John Wyse of Paragould, father of Mrs. J. A. Thorn of Pine Bluff, are contained in a special to the Memphis Commercial Appeal of yesterday. The dispatch follows:
 "Paragould, Dec. 26.-Constable John Wyse was shot to death last night in a room at the Main cafe, and Tom Gibson, who operates the place, was this afternoon charged with mur- der and ordered held by the coroner's jury.
 "A poker game, had been in prog ress during the greater part of the afternoon, it is said, much whisky be- ing in evidence. Besides Gibson, Croft Morris, also resident of Paragould was present and is held in jail.
 About 2 o'clock in the evening Of icer John Crump was called over the l telephone and advised that man had been killed in the cafe. On his way to the scene he was met by Croft Mor- ris. who told him that John Wyse had been shot. Morris then accompanied the officer to the cafe.
 "WXSe was found in an unconscious 1condition,. with blood gushing from his mouth and nose. He was lying on his left side, the right arm extended and clutching his pistol. The weapon had not been discharged. One bullet had passed through his hat, slightly graz in gthe skin on top of his head. One had grazed the right side of the neck perhaps severing the jugular vein. Another had struck directly above the heart, passing entirely through the body and coming out near the center of the back. Still another had appa rently entered from the back, while g fifth had plowed through the muscle of the lower left arm.
 Morris, when seen in jail last night, stated that Wyse, together witt Gibson and himself, were playing DO ker; that Gibson became abusive ane had more than once taken his pisto from his pocket to make demonstra tion. He (Morris) had won $6 iron Gibson, which the latter had refused to pay, he said, whereupon Morris went home for his own pistol, returned and collected the debt.
 "Wyse had also asked Gibson t, pay Morris, whereupon Gibson uset a vile name, pointed his pistol and be gan shooting, according to Morris lstatement.
 "The deputy sheriff made an effor to draw his own gun, but failed, as thu shots were rapidly pumped into hi body, and he sank to the floor.
 Morris testified that after tn first shot struck Wyse he told Gibsol !not to shoot any more, explaining tha Wyse was dying, but that the assail ant gave no heed to the request an continued shooting until his pisto Twas emptied.
 "Gjhson, when interviewed, at frs claimed the shooting had been don by Morris. He then shifted the stor, and stated he did not know the de tails later he explained that he ha heard loud talking in Room and wen there to stop difficulty between Mor ris and Wyse, using 2 chair Is peacemaker.

Want Guarantee Allies Wilt Accept

Petrograd, Wednesday, Dec. N.-- The central powers are ready to make an Immediate general peace without compulsory annexation and without contributions. This is their answer thru Count Czernin, the Aus tro-Hunsarian foreign minister, made on Christmas day at Brest Livotsh to the Russian proposals, which they are ready to accept in most particu lars as the basis of negotiations They insist, however, that the central powers cannot bind themselves one sidely to such conditions without a guarantee that the allies of Russia will recognize and fulfill these con ditions. The Russian delegates ask ed for 10 day recess in order ta put the proposals before Russia's al lies.

In mere ! fairness to them the full authority of the government must be subst!- tuted. The government itself will thereby gain an immense increase of efficiency in the conduct of the war and of the innumerable activities upon which it's successful conduct depends,
 "The public interest must be first served, and, in addition, the finan- cial interests of the government and the financial interests of the rail- ways must be brought under a com mon direction. The financial opera tions of the railways need not then interfere with the borrowings of the government, and they themselves can be conducted at greater advantage Investors ill railway securities may rest assui ed that their rights and in terests will be as scrupulously looked be by the directors of the several rail-
 
 reassembling of Congress I shall rec ormend that these definite guaran- tees be given: First of course, that the railway properties will be main- tained during the period of federal control in as good repair and as com plete equipment as when taken over by the government, and second that the roads shall receive net op- erating income equal in each case to the average net income of the three years preceding June 90, 1917; and I am entirely confident that the Con gross will be disposed in this case. as in others, to see that justice is done and full security assured to the own CTS and creditors of the great sys- tems which the government must now use under it's own direction or else suffer serious embarrassment.
 ""The secretary of war and I are agreed that all the circumstances being taken into consideration. the best results can be obtained under the immediate executive direction of the Hon. William G. McAdoo. whose practical experience peculiarly fits him for >the service and whose au- y will enable him to coordinate as no other man could, the many financial interests which will be involved and which might, unless systematically directed, suffer very embarrassing en- tanglements.
 '"The government of the United States is the only great government now engaged in the war which has not already assumed control of this sort. It was thought to be ill the spirit of American institutions to at tempt to do everything that was necessary through private manage ment, and if ability and patriotic move could have accomplished the necessary unification of administra- tion it would certainly have been accomplished; but no zeal or ability could overcome insupcrable obstacles, and I have deemed it my duty to rec ognize that fact in all candor now that it is demonstrated, and to use without reserve the great authority reposed in me. A great national neces- sity dictated the action and l was, therefore, not at liberty to abstain from it.

Say Move tO Gain Time,

Washington, Dec. 27.-Germany's proposal to the Russian Bolsheviki envoys, through the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister. for a basis of peace have attracted little more than pass ing interest here. chiefly because the attitude of the United States has not changed in any degree since President Wilson solemnly told Congress that the word of the present rulers of Ger
 many could be accepted for anything worth while. It has been assumed from the. first that the TeutOn pla;
 would be to keep the Russians talk ing as long as possible, confusing the situation in every conceivable way,
 and thereby gain time for troop move
 ments in France, while impressing their people at home with the idea that the kaiser wants to make peace. Amsterdam, Dec. 27-The tenor of the Australian comment on the Bro*t 1 LivOtsk negotiations is that the en- tente powers have no longer an ex-
 cuse for the continued flourishing of the sword ant that nobody can deny
 the sincerity of the central powers desire for peace. The Freimsenblatte Ol VlcIlHd says IudI 1t HUW uOpeHu entirely upcn the western powers whether humanity is freed from the
 evils of the world war. The Ncue Frere Presse declares that all pretext
 for prolonging the war have become
 untenable, aiding "the outline of peace by agreement formulated at
 Brest Livotsk contributes the golden bridge for the entente"

Workers only live while they are not working. They work to get enough to live on. The shorter their hours of work the longer time they have left to themselves in which to live. The employers always fight the idea of a shorter work day a great deal harder than they do a demand for raised wages. That ill itself is a signal for the workers to include he shorter work day in all their strike demands.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-

acid from the blood and pass 1t on
to the bladder. where 1t often remains
to irritate and inflame, causing a
burning, scalding sensation, or set
ting up an irritation at the neck OF
lief two or three times during the
night. The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and is very
profuse; again. there Is difficulty in
avoiding IT.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
IT, because they can't control urina-
ton. While II is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this IL
really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
