Pay for German Prisoners
omas F. Logan in Leslie's.

IHOiJdS f. Logan III LeSlle s.
 German invaders of Belgium developed the practice of shooting helpless civilians suspected of sniping and then investigat- ing their guilt. This system, in miIder form, is utilized by American critics of the United States government who con demn various matters of routine about which they are ignorant Thus, re- gently there was a cry directed against the war department because German of ficers imprisoned in. this country re- ceive the pay of their corresponding rank in the United States army and navy. Indignant Americans considered it an outrage that American money should line the pockets of the Boches Those less positive took the view that since he United States army pay is much higher than the remuneration in the German army, it was ridiculously unfair to pay a captured Teuton more money than he had received from his own government. These excited Americans overlooked the contract signed by the United States and Germany at the Hague in 1907 The sec- ton that affects the situation under dis cussion reads: "Officers taken prisoner shall receive the same rate of pay as officers of corresponding rank in the country where they are detained the amount to be ultimately refunded by their own government" The American government keeps it's pledged word to enemies as we'll as to friends, even if the Berlin government does not. As mat ter of fact Washington is merely ad- vancing money to German subjects. under a formal agreement to do so. This money will be collected from Berlin when Germany is forced to obey interna- tional law. respect scraps of paper" and carry out pledges which an honorable government observes voluntarily.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP SEEMS INEVITABLE

The feeling among railway execu- tlVes that government assumption of control makes government ownership inevitable is based on two premises. First, 1t is held that once the roads are co-ordinated and operated as one svs- tenn 't will be impossible to go back to the old competitive system. The public, it is declared never would he Willing for such a gigantic combination 70 operate as private corporation The second reason is that stockholders chce guaranteed a fair return on their. investments . in railroad stocks would
 net want to return to the uncertainties of private operation
 Ihe eastern railroads operating com rmttee will be brought to Washington rom Plttsburg, officials said. because It will be in closer touch with tho war board and because the center of congestion is shifting, from the Pitts burg district to the seaboard It's of ilcers vii. be established in the build ms occupied by the war board. Aaother reason for the apparently cheerful acquiescence of railroad heads to the governments plan of on- eration is the assurance given hv o5r, MtAdoo that roads which did not mako Ialr earnings in the pre-war period Will be provided with adeuuate com pensauon from the government The 1ounuatlon for this arrangement will De laid in legislation now being framed, and to be introduced imme- olately after President Wilson ad. dresses Congress.
 Secretary McAdoo spent today in his office at the treasury building. but arranged to open headquarters next week Tn the interstate commerce com m'sslon building. Among the men with whom re conferred today were: Daniel W N'itard, president of the Baltimore and Ofi6 and chairman of the war indus tres hoard; Interstate Commerce Conn., Inlssioners Anderson, Meyer and Wooley, senator Cummins, Represen- tatlve Reyburn of the House interstate commerce committee, and John Barton Payne, counsel for the shipping board Although NIT. McAdo has not vel taken up the subject of curtailment or passenger schedules, this course i> anticipated later. Postoffice official, today arranged to revise their mail schedules accordingly.
 Tn his statement before the Senate l.iteistate commerce committee today Chairman Hall took occasion to exon crate Chairman Lovett of the priority board of blame in connection with the issuance CT unnecessary orders, placing responsibility on the action of inc boards, in the war and navy depart- ments' as we'll as with the shipping board The head or the railroad commissions Tn response to questions regarding the probable expenditure that would result rom government coptrol of the rail- roads, said he believed the plan could
 be carried ont without great cost. No money might be needed at once. he said. except for additional terminal ia cilitics at some points.

DIRECTOR M'ADOO MOVES DEFINITELY
 TO BRING RAILROADS
 IN U NIFIC ATION
tcontinucd from Page One,

director general, today made number of suggestions for economies and eff ciency under the new unification plan.
 The railroad chiefs freely predicted today that the advantages of the great non-competitive system now being de- veloped would soon become so apparent that the country never would revert to the old plan of private control They even went so far as to predict very definitely that government ownership as well as control would be a develop ment of only a few years.
 This attitude of the railroad presi- dents gave special significance to the first official instructions of Director General McAdoo, designated as "Order No. l." telegraphed today to every railroad executive head. The order fol- 1OyES.
