Of Chicago appears an ad, now and
then, to the effect that Suggestions
For The Betterment Of Street Car
Service Are Earnestly Solicited"
On behalf of people who live in
Austin, Oak Park, Forest Park and
points west, who use the Madison
street car line for homeward jour
neys, The Day Book wishes to make
one Of these suggestions, which, if
carried out by the car company, will
be greatly appreciated by West Side
patrons of the car company.
Austinites, Oak Parkers, Forest
ParkeTs and Maywoodites are up in
arms against the rotten street car
service rendered on the Madison
street car line during the rush hour
around supper time.
Folks who pay cents to ride to
the city limits west naturally expect
to be carried to the city limits. But
they are not. As conditions now
stand, hundreds are forced to get off
the car blocks, some times a half a
mile from their destination, and
walk the balance of the way. And
this because of rank management
out at the end of the Madison street
car line.
Wednesday evening between the
hours of and GAS there were 48
cars lined up at the end of the line.
This necessarily meant the parking
of cars down as far as Central av.,
which is a half mile from the city
limits. Hundreds of people were
forced to lose close to a half hour
waiting for their car to move to it's
rdestination or else get off and walk
to the end of the line. Tuesday night
when the big rain and slop storm
was in full sway, the same thing
happened. In fact, it happens every
night around 6 o'clock.

Wednesday night several Austin
ties, Oak Parkers and Forest Parkers
were interviewed on the question.
why should people who live west
be forced to put up with this cOndi-
tiOn?" said NJ. c. Kennedy, 1876 S.

to walk several blocks to my home.
When we pay cents. to the conduct
or we should be carried to the end
of the line if we wish to go that far"

plains that he invariably misses his
regular Oak Park car connection be-
cause he has to get off and walk from
three to six blocks.
E. w. Deierder, $40 S. Humphrey

has paid for it. ITS a swindle, pure
and simple, mostly simple" he said.
r. BrokosH of MelrOse Park says
he is Only one of many who have a
strong complaint to make against
being cheated by the car company.
''It's a dirty, rotten shame to make
ladies and men walk when they are
tired out from their days work, said
L. w. BlOdgett, 526 S. Taylor, Oak
Park, especially when they have
handed over a nickel to ride"
Even the young girls are complain

WE CAN GET IT. SAYS (. E. BENNETT
Chairman of Committee, With
 .$112,NO the Goal, Is Confident

Chairman Clarence F. Bennett of the committee to raise $112.boo for Red Cross and Y: M. .. A. army camp funds. waxed eloquent, brim- full with confidence. that the end would be attained next week when the undertaking would start and in a talk with a reporter for the Herald had the following to say in regard to the projects:
 ''I am confident New Britain will see it's duty and do its duty in cor- tributing this money. The various committees are hard at work; plans are fast getting into shape for the real campaign from June 1S to Juno 25. which Is Red Cross Week through out the country by President Will sons proclamation.
 Let me quote H. P. Davison. the man who gave up a salary reputed to be $1,o0o,o00 a year from J. F.. Morgan G company. to be entirely free to direct Red Cross work.
 The first pressing work of the American Red Cross as planned by the war council will be to look out for our sailors and soldiers abroad and at home. That is . big job in itself.
 "Tf the American people 50 de- sire, we can make our Red Cross felt on every battle front. I believe that in most of the countries at war with Germany the people arc tired, simply worn out by their terrific endurance. We must so over to our friends. "back them up' as our English allies would say; give them cheer and sympathy as we'll as medicines, nurses, doctors. money. bread and meat. Just this will do much to end the war. This is not charity in tho accepted sense. It is sheer duty. It Is debt-paying. We owe all that and vastly more to the France that has poured out her blood for us. It Is the least we can do while our armies of fighting mon are getting ready to serve in the trenches. I trust that have made this big point very clear-that the big necessity at present is to finance tho Red Cross 50 Nberally as to give 1t chance to step into the gap" and do a grand work of upbuilding and in- spring our allies while our soldiers arc being mobilized and trained
 ''New Britain takes pride in her generosity to any worthy cause. Can any one imagine moro needy, worthy call than the present work of the American Red Gross? I know New Britain men and women. know New Britain corporations. And so am confident we will raise the full amount"

COAL FAMINE IN CHICAGO, AVERTED
Coal TRANSFERS STRIKE RESULTS IN WAGE
INCREASE
A coal famine was averted in Chicago, on
January 10, by the Illinois Public Utilities
Commission issuing an order, directing all
railroads entering that city to treat coal as
preferred freight, with the right of way over
all other commodities within the state, ex-
cepting live stock and perishable freight.
The order was to continue in effect until the
coal shortage had been relieved.
On the same day, the Chesapeake and
Ohio, and the Norfolk and Western rail-
roads removed their embargoes on coal ship
ments. | go
1t is hoped now that the peril of coal
famine has been removed for the remainder
of the winter.
Shortly after the issuance of the order by
the Illinois Public Utilities Commission, and
just when the people of Chicago were begin
ming to breath more freely, the situation was
aggravated by one of those occurrences which
are liable to take place in any American city
and at any time. On the morning of January
20, the people of Chicago awoke to realiza-
tion of the fact that 1,40O coal drivers had
suddenly gone on strike. AS result, the
city was brought face to face with situa-
tlOn more serious IN 1CS immaculate eHectS
than had existed a few days before, when the
supply was withheld by the railroads.
Many of the down town office buildings,
hotels and cafes were left with less than a
twenty four hour supply of coal on hand.
The teamsters demanded an increase of
approximately so cents day in their wages.
The strike ended on the afternoon of January
21, when members of the Chicago Coal Mer-
chants Association agreed to pay the wage
increase.
Milton Booth, head of the teamsters union,
and who had issued the strike order, has an
nounced that the failure of the organization
to live up to the new agreement will mean
another strike, regardless of suffering.

ALLIED VESSELS SEARCH FOR GER
MAN SEA RAIDER

The identity of the German sea raider,
which has been creating havoc among the
entente shipping in the South Atlantic, re-
mains matter of conjecture.
A report, from Rio De Janeiro, of JAN
uary 49, expressed the belief that the vessel
was the famous Moewe, which sank the Appam
and numerous other entente ships year ago.
It is claimed the Moewe recently sailed from
Kiel under the Danish flag, carrying cargo

DECLARES THAT WEAKER NATIONS SHOULD
BE PROTECTED
FREEDOM OF THE SEAS

The President also declared that every
great people should be assured, so far as
practicable, of direct outlet to the high
ways Of the seas, and that where this could
not be done by cession of territory, it could
be done by the naturalization Of direct rights
of way

of hay on the bridge to conceal her arma-
ment.
It was reported, few days ago, that the
German raider had been sunk, but this is
now believed to be false.
It is stated that the British steamer, St.
Theodore, captured by the German raider,
has been armed and manned by German
crew and is cruising as an auxiliary to the
raider.
Alarmed by the raids of the German sea
rovers, the entente allied governments are
said to be preparing fora wide sweep of the
ocean in an endeavor to run down the COM
merce destroyers.
Six British submarines Of the largest type
and an armored cruiser have been added to
the force at the naval base at the Bermudas.
They will be used to protect the sea lanes of
the commercial vessels.

No ENTANGLING ALLIANCES

In concluding his address, the President
declared that he was speaking as an individ-
ual and yet as the responsible head of great
government He said that, in holding out the
expectation that the people and government
of the United States would join the other ma
tions of the world in guaranteeing perma-
nent peace, there was no breach of our tradi-
tions or Of our policy as a nation; he said
there was "no entangling alliances in a con-
cert of powers," when all united to act with
the same purpose in common interest, and
when all are left free to live their own lives
under a common protection. He declared
that these are "the American principles and
policies;" that they are the "principles of
mankind and must prevail"
FINE IN THEORY, BUT NOT PRACTICABLE
A London dispatch states that A. Bonar
Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and mem
Der of the British war council, declared in a
speech at Bristol, on January "a, that Presi-
dent Wilson's peace aims were shared by the
entente allies, but that under present cir
cumstances, other means must be taken to
obtain peace than outlined by the American
President, and that it is impossible to con-
sent to a peace that leaves Germany's mill
tary machine unbroken.
Berlin dispatches Of January "a state that
virtually all the German newspapers appreci-
ate the Presidents sincerity and exalted
humanitarian spirit, but say that peace con-
titions, as set forth in the ententes last note,
are hardly reconcilable with the Presidents
program.

PRESIDENT TRIES TO SPEED UP CON-
GRESS

President Wilson, at two hour session of
the Democratic steering committee of the
United States Senate, on January 10, urged
the speeding up of the consideration of his
proposed legislation for the present session
of Congress. He informed the members that
he hoped the major portions of his recon-
mendations would be acted upon favorably
before March A, and that it would be unne-
cessary to call an extra session of Congress
later.

PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY

Is the present war struggle for just and
secure peace or only for new balance of
power? If it be only struggle for new
balance of power, who will guarantee, who
can guarantee, the stable equilibrium of the
new arrangement? Only tranquil Europe
can be stable Europe. There must be not
a balance of power but community of
power; not organized rivalries but an organ
lied common peace
President Wilson, after referring to the
declarations Of statesmen, belonging to both
groups of nations at war, that it was no part
Of their purpose to crush their antagonists,
said:
"But the implications of these assurances
may not be equally clear to all-may not be
the same on both sides of the water. I think
it will be serviceable if I attempt to set forth
what we understand them to be.
''They imply first of all that it must be a
peace without victory. It is not pleasant to
say this. | beg that | may be permitted to
put my own Interpretation upon it and that
it may be understood that no other interpre-
tation was in my thought am seeking only
to face realities and to face them without
soft concealments. Victory would mean peace
forced upon the loser; victor's terms i'm
posed upon the vanquished. It would be
adopted in humiliation, under duress at an in
tolerable sacrifice and would leave a sting,
a resentment, bitter memory upon which
terms of peace would rest not permanently
but only as upon quicksand."
ONLY A PEACE BETWEEN EQUALS
"Only a peace between equals can last;
only peace the very principle of which is
equality and common participation in a
common benefit. The right state of mind the
right feeling between nations is as neces-
sary for a lasting peace as is the just settle
ment Of vexed questions of territory or of
racial and national allegiance
"The equality of nations, upon which peace
must be founded, if it is to last, must be the
equality of rights. . Equality of terri
tory or of resources, there, of course, can
not be- : : * = : No one asks or expects any
thing more than an equality Of rights. Man
kind is looking now for freedom of life"
DECLARES THAT WEAKER NATIONS SHOULD
BE PROTECTED
The President then declared that small ma
tions should be protected in their rights;
'that governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed, and that
no right anywhere exists to hand peoples
about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if
they were property
