WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-When the
President was choosing a director
general for the railroads of the coun-
try he chose a railroader, financler
and an enthusiastic workman-his sec
retary Of the treasury. William u.
McAdoo.
President Wilson no doubt gave con-
sideration to McAdoo's previous ex-
perience and achievements in the field
Of transportation and railroad finance,
notably his large share in the building
of the Hudson tubes, regarded In New
York as a conspicuous example OF
capable promotion.
An earlier and lesser known job
which McAdoo carried through was
the reorganization of the street rail
ways of Chattanooga, Tenn. Before
he undertook that task he had earned
some reputation as a railroad lawyer
In the south, having served two roads
in that capacity.
McAdoo first became interested In
railroad affairs in 1885, when ap
pointed counsel for the Central Rail

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Opinion here on
the reply of the central powers to the
Bolsheviki terms, as far as can be
judged from the editorials in the morn
ing newspapers, follows two main
lines. On one hand it seems to be felt
that the central powers have made a
perfectly sincere offer to end the war
Immediately. while on the other hand
it is declared that they have set a
cunning tap In which they hoped al
though vainly, to catch the allies.
The former view is not confined to
papers generally regarded as having
pacifist leanings. 1t is supported
strongly, for instance by the conserva-
tive Daily Express, which stands un-
compromisingly for victory over the
central powers and Is an ardent apos-

London Pupers Are Divided on Peace Proposals

A statement purporting to give in
broad outline the view taken in high
British political circles of the German
peace terms is printed by the Daily
Express. 1t says that two things are
known here. first that Germany does
not want a separate peace with Rus
sia, but general peace, and second
that Germany fear Bolshevik influ-
ence. being afraid OF its effect on the
German working classes.
"A still upper lip is the attitude In

not sufficient to lead US to lay down

ton Is accepted, reparation is scout
ed. Reparation will be accepted as the
price Of the restoration OF those eco
nomic relations without which Ger
many cannot live.
"An authoritative allied reply to
Count Czernin might be demonstra
ton to the German people that the al
lies have no wish to contrive their
destruction, hinder their development
or threaten their independence. When
they once understand what the allies
stand for and what really are their in
tentions. the German people them
selves will complete the destruction OF
that militaFism which has set out to
conquer the world"

gotiations are a form of camouflage
by which Germany is attempting to

Is a general peace that Germany and
AustritHungary want and behind

perfectly sincere desire to end the war

LONDON. Dec. 2S.-"Achievement
of the purposes for which the allies are
fighting is essential to the future free

mier Lloyd George in letter which
he sent today TO the labor congress.
The premier's statement is regarded as
the British reply to the German peace
offer.
Stephen Pichon. Frances foreign
minister was explicit in statement
made in the chamber of deputies, de-
claring that France could not accept
a peace based on the conditions that
existed before the war. The war
would 20 on whether or not Russia
made a separate peace. he said. The
question OF Alsace- Lorraine, the res
toratiou OF which France demands,
was a world question not territor-
ial but . normal problem. he deciar-
ed, and it's solution depended whether
the world would have a durable peace.
The French ministerial attitude was
fortified. as shown in last nights
Paris dispatches, by vote taken in
the chamber after NJ. Pichon's state
ment was made. An opposition reso-
luton was voted down, All to 80, and
q resolution approving the declaration
and expressing confidence in the min
istry was adopted 3S4 to 0.

yesterday when, despite thunder,

The big story Of the great north
country Is just as fascinating as ever
and holds the interest from the first
scenes of wild carousal, thru the most
realistic and actually savage fist fight
ever portrayed on screen or stage
until the closing scene on the quiet
shores Of Behring sea.
The Spoilers will be repeated To-
day and it is probably the last time
that Rex Beach's greatest story will
ever be shown in Tulsa. The first
show will start promptly at 1915,
