Commerce Commission, the plan for naming a federal administrator to di- rect operations by the present rail- road managemeuts, and the confident assertion of the war board that the lines can handle the situation them selves with certain changes in gov- ernment policy.
 Federal Administration.
 In considering the appointment of a federal administrator OF director it is understood the president is occu- pied chiefly with the question of who the man should be. Several names already have been discussed at the capitol and in railroad circles, with out however, any indication that the president actually is preparing to se- 1ect one of them. First on the list has been Secretary Lane, whose knowledge of railroad questions is we'll known because of his service on the Interstate Commerce Comn1is- sion; Associate Justice Brandeis of the supreme court has been mention ed, and the visit of Former Justice Charles E. Hughes to the White House a few days ago added him to the group. Today the name of Secretary McAdoo was brought out, and the president was said to be weighing the question whether the head, of the treasury department could be spared from the tremendous task of hand ling the nations war financing.

RECRUITING OFFICERS
 ARE OVERWHELMED
By the Thousands of Men Who Have
 Offered to Enlist.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Recruiting machinery of the American army show ed signs of breaking down tonight un- der the enormous strain put upon it by the thousands of men who have offered for enlistment within the past few days In some cases recruiting offl- cers have found themselves without means of accommodati15 recruits and have been forced to discharge them and close their offices until the men already in their. charge can be distrib- uted.
 This means that many men of draft age will fail in their effort to enlist be- fore noon tomorrow, after which time they may join the regulars only in their status as members of the ma tional army. Protests against turn ing the man away have come, one from New Rochelle, N. r.. but war depart ment officials said tonight nothing could be done about it as it was im- possible for the recruiting stations to handle the flood of applications.
 It was pointed out that registered men who do not get into the regular army through the recruiting stations may do so after noon tomorrow by volunteering through their local boards. Their applications will be acted upon immediately but they will appear on the rolls as members of the national army.
 The recruiting list made public to- day shows a total of 14,291 men accept ed yesterday, which is pro/ably three thousand less than the actual number taken in, as ten districts failed to re- port Indications are that even greater number applied today.

Discovered in Full Operation Last
 Night by Revenue Officers,

Philadelphia, Dec. 14-Internal rev. enue officers late tonight discovered in fun operation near the center of this city what they declared was the larg- est illicit still they had seen in many years.

men who think you can end the war now by some sort of what they call peace-by setting up league of na- tions. That is the right policy after victory; without victory it would be a farce.'
 Continuing his discussion of a league of nations, MT. Lloyd George said it could not be had by negotiated peace at this time.
 No Security Without Punishment.
 'It is idle to talk of security to be won by such feeble means" he as- serted. There is no security in any land without the certainty of punish ment. There is no protection in state where the criminal is more powerful than the law.
 HTo end a war entered upon to en- force a treaty, without reparation for the infringement of that treaty, mere ly by entering into a new. more sweep ing and comprehensive treaty would be farce in the setting of a tragedy
 Victory a Question of Tonnage.
 Victory, declared the premier, was a question of tonnage. Germany was transport her army to Eupore. The future of the world depended upon the efforts Great Britain and America make to increase their output of ships next year, lie declared. The food i'm ports next year. he sad in this con nection, must be reduced three millio tons by increased home production and economy.
 | Fighting Men Needed.
 Premier Lloyd George said that a call must. be made on the nation for great sacrifices and more fighting men were needed until the American forces arrive to offset the burden that had been cast on the allies by the de- lection of Russia and the reverses of Italy.
 Must Defend All Fronts.
 The allies-noNg must, defend all fronts against the enemy and have a mobile army for any point of emergency, the premier said, and he added that the allies had a superioritT in man power in France on the battle front, and there were considerable British re- verses at home.
 Premier Lloyd George, who, was speaking at the dinner of the Grey's Inn Benchers, said:
 Gap Left by Russia.
 'If this is the worst moment, ft is because Russia has stepped out and America is only preparing to come in. Every hour that passes will see the gap formed by the retirement of the Russians filled by the valiant sons of the great republic. Germany knows it and Austria knows it. hence the desperate efforts they are making to force the issue before America is ready"

 'It is because I am firmly convinced that despite some untoward events, de- spite discouraging appearances, we are making steady progress toward the goal, that I would regard peace over lures to Prussia at the very moment the Prussiar military spirit is drunk with boastfulness as a betrayal of the great trust with which my colleagues and myself have been charged If Russia persists in her present pol icy, the premier pointed out, the with

 YORK CITY IS SERIOUS
Thousands of Tons Are lcebound
 Across the River in New Jersey.

New York, Dec. 14.-Homes and in . dustries in New York were confronted tonight with the most serious coal shortage in the city's history because of inability to. get supplies across the river on barges from New Jersey tide water points where, thousands of tons are icebound- The situation, which vas already had, was greatly aggra- vated by last nights storm.

CREW OF STRANDED
 SCHOONER IN DANGER
The Horace A. Stone Wrecked on che
 Massachusetts Coast.

Chatham, Mass, Dec. 1.-The sit- uation of the crew of the four -masted coa1-laden schooner Horace A. Stone. which was wrecked on Stone Horse Shoal during the 75 mile gale last night. was precarious tonight They were still penned up in the forward deckhouse. with the after part of the vessel submerged and heavy seas breaking over her. During the day they managed to shift their distress signals from the mizzen rigging to the forward rigging and this was taken by life savers on shore to indi- cate that need for help was becoming more urgent.
 The gale had lost some of its force tonight but it was still blowing hard with another storm threatening. The schooner lay three miles off the beach, much too far to attempt shooting a line to her, and the surf was so high it was impossible to launch a boat.
