slider Future Demands.
Special Despatch to THE sux.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Director-
General McAdoo warned railroad en-
ployees throughout the country to-
day that there is a definite limit to
wage raising and that this limit has
been about reached. At the same time
he gave notice that the appeal for
more money of shop men and main
tenance of way employees, some of
whom have expressed dissatisfaction
with increases granted, would fall on
deaf ears.
The Director Generals position was
set forth in a letter 20 Chairman G. H.
Hines of the Board of Railroad Wages
and Working Conditions, telling the
chairman the board should take no
further action with respect to the
wages of the shopmen or the main
tenance of way men. 4 definite stand
by the Director General on the ques-
ton of additional wage increases was
called forth by letter from Mr.. Hines
the two classes of employees involved
in supplements and to the general
wage raising order. The Director
General said in part:
"As l have previously stated l am
obliged to consider not only the in
terests of the employees of the rail-
roads but also the interests OF the peo-
pie of the country in determining ques-
tions of wages and working conditions.
Now Servants of the Public.
THE officers and employees of the
railroads are no longer servants of
private railroad corporations; they are
now servants of the public. The Di-
rector General also is a servant of the
public, owing duty TO the public as
well as to the employees. I cannot be
Indifferent to the interests of the pub
lie any more than l can be Indifferent
to the interests OF the employed, and
my constant effort has been to find the
line of justice as represented by fair
wages and working conditions and
square 1t with the interest of the EN-
ployees and the interest OF the public.
Il have not hesitated to announce
decisions which involved immense in
creases in the wages OF railroad en-
ployees throughout the country esti-
mated at over $5OO,OOO,oOo. These in
creased wages must be paid by the
people of the United States, and in
, order to pay them ] some time ago
announced large increases in freight
and passenger rates. Numerous pro-
tests against these have been made
by shippers and farmers and other
organizations throughout the country,
and warn us all that We must keep
our demands within reasonable limits,
because there is a point beyond which
the public will not sustain US in rails
ing wages.

AMERICANS CLASH WITH HUNS.
Three Reported Killed, Five Wounded
and Twelve Captured.

Observation-Disclosures forces under
the American flag have had their first
clash with German soldiers in an at
tack which the Germans made on first
line trenches where the United States
troops had been taken for instruction
and three Americans We're killed, five
wounded and twelve captured or miss
ing.
The war department made this
known Sunday on receipt of dispatch
from General Pershing showing that
the German forces. soon after learning
the position of the new enemy from
overseas, had launched desperate ef'
fort to overcome them. The Teutoh
attack came in the form of heavy
barrage fire, which isolated salient
of the American trench. and apparent
ly left a small force of Americans al
the mercy of their enemies. That Inc
American soldiers fought Samely u
shown by Pershing's report OF prs
oner being taken by them. How some
of his troops escaped, bringing uls
German back with them, is not lolu

commander.

RUSSIA NEEDS HELP
BUT WILL FIGHT ON
kERENsKY DIscUssE< sITUA-
TON FRANKLY, SAYING coUN-
TRY IS WORN OUT BY STRAIN,
Reports Spread Abroad That Russia
Was Out Of War Branded az Ride
ulous, but Russians Need and Ex-
pect Help.

PerrOgrad. - In view OF reports
reaching PetrOgrad that the impress
sion was spreading abroad that Rus
STA was virtually out Of the war, Pre-
mier Kerensky discussed the present
condition of the country frankly on
Friday. He said Russia was worn out
by the long strain. but that 1t was RI
diculous to say the country was out Of
the war.
The premier referred to the years In
which Russia had fought her own cam
paigns alone with no such assistance
as has been extended to France by
Great Britain and now by America.
He said he felt help was needed ur-
gently and that Russia asked it as her
right. He urged that the United
States give aid in the form of money
and supplies, and appealed to the
world not to lose faith in the Russian
revolution.
Russia, M. Kerensky added, was TAX
ing an enormous part in the struggle,
and those who said she was out Of 1t
must have short memories.
Russia has fought consistently since
the beginning. She saved France and
England from disaster early in the
war. She is now worn out by the
strain, and claims as her right that the
allies now shoulder the burden. Thus
Kerensky explained Russia.s position
The premier was seated in the library
of the former private office of the EN-
peror in the Winter palace. The cor
respondent called attention to widely
contradictory reports on Russia's con-
ditiOns, and asked the premier for a
frank statement of the facts.
1t has been said by travellers return
ing IRON England and elsewhere to
America that opinion among the peo-
pie, not officially, but generally. is
that Russia is virtually out Of the war,

Kerensky laughed. "That," he an
swered, lis ridiculous question. Rus
STA is taking an enormous part in the
war. One has only to remember his,
tory. Russia began the war for the
allies. While she was already fighting
England was only preparing. and
America was only observing"

WAR UPON GERMAN

ABOUT HALF OF THE ENEMY
SUBMARINES HAVE BEEN DE-
STRoYED By ALLIES.
Unceasing War Of British and Ameri.
can Patrols Causes Germans to
Speed Up Building Program to
Keep Up With Losses.

LOndOn.-Sir Eric Geddes, who re-
Gently succeeded Sir Edward Carson
as first lord of the admiralty, made
his first address in parliament on NO
vember and gave some interesting
and anxiOusly awaited figures on the
work of the navy and shipping in gen.
eral.
His declaration that between 40 and
80 per cent of the German submarines
operating in the North sea, the Attain
tic and the Arctic oceans had been
sunk was not the least interesting of
his announcements. There Tvas an in
dication of the unceasing war the
.5ritish and American patrols are max
ing on the submarine in his state
ment that during the last quarter the
enemy had lost as many submarines
as during the whole of 1916.
The output of merchant shipping in
the first nine months of this year, he
said, was 1913 per cent higher than in
the corresponding period last year.. The
admiralty had decided that four new
national shipbuilding yards would be
necessary.
1--WE must lay plans for long war"
said Sir Eric. II see no signs of its
being Il short One."
The losses of merchantmen in OctO-
Der, he said, were very slightly worse
than in September. Enemy subma-
rines were being sunk to an increas-
ing extent, buts the Germans were
building them faster than they had
done hitherto.
The total net reduction of British
tonnage since the beginning of the war
was given out as 100000 tons.
Replying to the criticism that the
fleet had not been sent to assist Rus
STA, he pointed out that such an oper-
alton would occupy considerable time,
and that there were extensive mine
ields. Responsible naval opinion was
unanimous that the step was not one
which should be taken.

LIMIT TO PROFITS
on NATIONS FOOD

handling Of the nations food. proniul-
gated by President Wilson and to take
effect Immediately, were announced
November 8 by the United States food
administration. They govern the IL
censing of all food handlers except
small retailers, and control the small
retailers indirectly.
The chief objects Of the regulations
are:
First-T0 limit the prices charged
by every license to reasonable
amount over expenses, and forbid the
acquisition Of speculative profits from
a rising market.
Second-To keep all food comm0di-
ties moving to the consumer in as d.
rect q line and with as little delay as
practicable.
Third-TO limit as far as practica-
able contracts for future delivery and
dealings in future contracts.
Offenders May Be Prosecuted.
Under the food control act, the pres
ident has broad powers to deal with
individual cases. This power will be
freely exercised to accomplish the
three purposes named. II every H.
censee will make those purposes the
cardinal principles Of his business and
obey the law and the regulations, he
will be free from interference by his
government. Violation Is the cause for
rev0king any license, as well as sub
jecting the offender to criminal penal
ties that may be prescribed.
There are many general rules gov
erning all licensees, together with ad-
ditional special regulations for various
trades In which there are special con-
ditiOns, or specific abuses to be over
come.
The elimination of excessive prices
charged by small retailers, who are not
subject to license, will be helped by a
rule fOrbidding licensees to sell foods
to any person who is taking excessive
profits or specializing.
An important rule provides that no
licensee shall import, manufacture,
store, distribute, sell or otherwise han
die any food commodities on an un-
Just, exorbitant, unreasonable, discrim'
inatory or unfair commission, profit or
storage charge.
Profits to BE Reasonable.
With respect to large group of
commodities, particularly n0nperish.
ables, the regulations require that
profit shall be ITO greater than rea-
s0nable advance over the actual pur.
chase price Of the particular goods
sold without regard to the market OF
replacement value.
Handling foods in such ways as to
mOnOpOlize or restrict the supply Is
guarded against. Special rules require
that certain foods that have been held
in cold storage for more than thirty
days shall be marked "cOld storage
goods" when offered for sale, prohibit
speculation in future of canned goods
prohibit speculation in potatoes which
have been seriously damaged; protect
the shipper who ships his goods tC
market on consignment against unfair
charges by commission men. brokers
and auctioneers and cover many Other
special points.
