MR. 'DAN|ELSSEEKS
TO aid HIS CLERKS
Urges Exchange Of Transfers
at 18th and G-New York
Ave-. and 18th and H.

In the interest of the EMPLOYEES of
the Navy Department now located in
Potomac Park near 18th and B streets.
Secretary Daniels has suggested to the
District Public Utilities Commission
a plan for exchange of transfers be-
tween the Capital Traction COMPANY
and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company at 18th and G
streets, New York avenue and 18th
street and at 18th and H streets. AT
the latter point it would be necessary
for those transferring to walk the in
terventng distance to Pennsylvania
avenue until the railroad spur on that
line is completed.
Transfer facilities having been
granted employees of the navy yard,
Mr. Daniels thinks it only right that
similar privileges be extended en-
ployes of the Navy Department. Unless
that is done, he says. the long walk
entailed on clerks not living on the
Capital Traction line. during the COM
ing winter, will occasion much sick
ness. and in that way interfere with
the prompt dispatch of departmental
business.
1t is argued by some persons that
the exchange of transfers between the
two lines in the vicinity Of 18th and
q streets would obviate the necessity
for building the proposed spur on 18th
street. That idea is based on the
theory that the Office buildings in
Potomac Park may be abandoned soon
after peace is established.

Paris Foresees Serious
Intricate Problems to Be
Solved at Peace Table

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
Cablesram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
PARIS. November 22-The princi-
pal issues Of the week likely to be
presented in the peace negotiations
are the following: -
1. PreIiminaries of procedure. Shall
there be an immediate conference to
reach an agreement on the conditions
to impose on Germany? Shall the
peace conference itself be public or
secret? Shall the great problem Of q
society Of nations and its corollaries
disarmament and freedom of the seas
be dealt with by the conference prop
er or be held over to still another
great international conference?
2. To what extent should the allies
occupy Austria militarily to regulate
the apparently continuing disorder:
Shall allied troops go to Vienna?
8. There is sharp discussion between
whether the territory occupied under
the armistice shall be kept under
peace conditions. The Italians are
pleading in the Affirmative and the
Jugo-Slavs in the negative. The
question seems to contain the germs
of serious trouble, as neither shows
signs of Willingness to accept a
compromise.
4. What is the true situation eco
nomically and politically of Germany?
Is the country really starving? Is
there real danger of bolshevism? To
what extent is the present govern
ment affiliated with the former impe-
rial government?
These last questions require care
fully conducted Investigations before
the allies can really formulate pol
icy toward the defeated and whimper-
ing foe..

appropriations granted during the
war period to expedite government
business will cease. and the executive
heads of the various government es-
Establishments will be held to strict
