Government Ownership For This Period Would Give Fair
Test OF What SatiOn Could DO-Eght To Keep Wireless
Systems Under Government Control Is Beginning Today
Opponents Say Issue Will Be Test OF Strength

Washington, Dec. 12.-Eventuai gov
eminent ownership would result from
Director General MeAdoo's plan for
five year extension of federal railroad
operation, according to belief in the
capital today.
McAdoo's plan, revealed in letter
to Senator Smith, South Carolina, and
Representative Sims is endorsed by
President Wilson. 1t contemplates test
ing government control for five years
after peace is declared. Either this
should be done, he says, or the railroads
should be given back to, private control
as quickly as possible.
Would Give Fair Test.
McAdoo pointed out financial read
justment and conflicts between state
and federal jurisdiction make it diff
cul. to continue government control for
"a short time and do justice to the roads.
ahe five year period, he holds, would
permit CT proper financing without the
present limitations and would give the
nation what he says it is entitled to-
u fair test uf such control under nor
nal conditions.
Experts ou railroads declare his sys-
ten, operating in world now posses.
sed by broader socialized ciews than
ever before, would certainly lead to
government ownership. These authori-
ties say government operation was not
Rropelly demonstrated in war times, for
thea costs went by the board-sacri.

Secretary Lanes Plan Is To
Reclaim Arid, Swanpy And
Cutoff Land.

Washington, Dec. IA request for
immediate action by congress on Sec
retary Lanes plan for reclamation Of
arid swamp and cutoff land, including
an appropriation of not less than $780,
100000, will be presented soon, it was
intimated today at the department of
tho interior.
If Jobs are to be provided iy rccla-
nation work for returning so.diers a
definite program must be mapped out
at once. Ii was said.
While it is considered improbable that
the present session will result in the
necessary appropriations, interior de-
partment officials say they have beek
assured a sufficient number Of repubh-
cans and democrats are friendly to the
proposed measure to see it through
at tae special session expected to fol-
low.
Irrigation Projects in West.
Secretary Lanes plans call for vast
government irrigation projects in the
west, for the clearing Of extensive
tracts of cut over timber lands IN vari-
ous sections of the country, and for the
drainage and clearing of large swamp
areas.
He proposes to put as many soldiers
as nay desire to go into the work on
the job at 81 per day each for common
labor.
When the land is cleared and made
ready for habitation and cultivation i
is. to be made available for settlement
i by the soldiers nd to be paid for from

Not Contaminated

Paris, Dee. l2.-Allied occupation of
Berlin is not contemplated at present,
the United Press was informed today
by high officer who is very close to
French headquarters.
"The reports from Berlin that the
allies may occupy the city are the re-
suit of an attempt to lead the allies
into revealing their intentions regard
ing possible extension of their march
into Germany, the official declared.
"But entry into Berlin would be
dangerous unless it were undertaken
by q hundred thousand men. No such
action would be taken without the ut
most deliberation.

Believes in Stern Justice

President wilson believes in stern
justice for Germany.
Neither he nor any other American
official believes Germany should es-
cape such punishment as will go with
territorial readiustments and rtt tora-
tive indemnities.
But President Wilson has declared
against punitive indemnities and if
officials here are correctly Informed,
he will oppose the Lloyd-Ceorge plan
of seeking to make Germany pay the
allied war costs.
Lloyd-George will have hearty sup
port from the president in seeking to
abolish conseription.
Concrete evidence of this support is
seen in the fact that the var depart
ment has privately let congressman
know that at present there is no plan
for universal military training in this
country. Germany is soon to face a
revision of the armistice terms. Ths
limit expired yesterday. The revised
version probably will vary only slightly
from the one previously in effect.

GERMANY WON'T HAVE
TO PAY FULL ALLIED
war DEBT, is BELIEF
Officials Declare That British
Demand For Paying OF
Debt Is Election Talk.
By Carl D. Grat

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Dec. 12.--Germany will
not be asked to pay the full allied
war debt as LloydGeorgc has advo-
Gated, provided President Wilson s
principles obtain in the pdace confer
ence.
Officials here privately declare much
of the British talk of making dermany
pay this enormous debt-l4loyd-George
estimates it at $780, 009,000, ,GO0-is
election talk. The American govern
ment believes Germany will be about
cleaned" financially when she is
done with paying merely the restora-
tive indemnities to be asked of her for
Belgium, northern France and else
where.
Germany will be working for the al
lies long time ahead and will pay in
the sweat of her brow, in lowered liv-
ing conditions and in taxes on all for
her brutality and the suffering her
autocracy imposed upon the rest OF
the world.
