BILL INTRODUCED.
TWO APPEALS FILED
TO CLASSIFICATION
OF THE CITY BOARD

George Preston Chalfant and Glenn
Henry Baker are the first men to file
appeals to the district board from the
classification in which they were
placed by the city board. Their appeal
is on the grounds that they are en-
gagged in preferred occupations, being
in the employ of the Mountain States
Telephone company and necessary
men. Neither of the men is married or
has dependents and in such cases the
city board Is not recognizing claims
for exemption on grounds of any &C.
cupation.
Edwin Harrington, chairman of the
city draft board, stated today that all
men looked alike to him whether in
the employ of the government private
corporations or engaged in other lines
of trade. He declared he saw no rea-
son why a single man in the employ
OF any corporation should be any more
exempt from military service than IL
salesman in a hardware store, dry
goods store or a man on the farm. The
board. he said, had taken the same view
and men who were seeking exemption
on occupational grounds would not re-
ceive consideration at their hands.
The board, he stated. looked at the
matter in the light that If a man should
die tonight. there would be another able
to fill his place In the morning.

LOSS OF ANTILLES
CAUSES REMOVAL OF
ADMIRAL FLETCHER

Washington, Jan. 4.-Rear Admiral
w. B. Fletcher formerly in charge of
the navy convoy system abroad, has
been relieved and ordered home as a
direct outgrowth Of the torpedoing Of
the American transport Antilles. This
fact leaked out today. a considerable
time after its occurrence, following
charges of Representative Britten, H.
linois, that the Antilles was sunk
through navy negligence.
Rear Admiral F1etcher-not the
Fletcher of Vera Cruz fame--did not
have sufficient convoy At his disposal,
it Is claimed, but 1t is a mooted ques-
ton in navy quarters whether Admiral
Sims, chief of European operations,
provided sufficiently.
In any event 1t was held that
F1etcher's removal was advisable. No
courtmartial was held. so the incident
does not stand officially against his
record.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels, re-
fused today to make public Fletcher's
name or to discuss in any way the
outcome Of the Antilles case.

BY L. G.. MARTIN.

Washington, Jan. president viii.

country's railroads. Here is what 1,
expected of congress:
Creation of an organization un-

sell railroad securities.

immediate improvements with

into such improvements.
Laws authorizing the govern
ment to compensate the railroads
on a basis of the average net op-

years.
Necessary measures for protect

the government leased regime.
Authorization to the president or
McAdoo of all power to run the
railroads during the war
FoE OWNERSHIP.
Out Of the financial web thus woven
no one-railroad executives, stock
holders, administration officials or la
Dor leaders-believes the transporta-
lion system will ever extricate them
selves to return to private operation
The moment the question of money
to rehabilitate the railroads is raised
the government ownership advocates
win begin their active campaign. They
declare that once the government in
vests directly in the railroads, the only
way it will get its money back will be

TO FIX WAGES.
While legislators awaited the presi :
dents word on railroads, an effort to
have the government fix wages In
practically all industrial lines during
the war was begun in the senate.
Senator King prepared resolution
calling on the senate commerce COM
mittee to report whether legislation
authorizing the government to fix
wages of all workmen engaged on gov
eminent contracts would be constitu-
tional. If the committees report is
favorable, King will introduce a bill
authorizing such wage Standardization.
King admitted today the enactment
of such law undoubtedly would re-
act on the labor market generally, re-
sulting, in fact, in government wage
liking for the whole country.

Nugent and Elder have been brothers
in politics. They planned together,
fought side by side, lost together, won

morrow and thicker than syrup on an

But now all is changed, according to

fronts. The brothers have fallen out.

litical comradeship there is now a glare
of political contemptuousness. They

They no longer fall into each others
arms but their legs cannot travel fast
enough to increase the distance be-

They no longer engage in close

going his separate way into other
alignments and one hears "camou-
flage" and even cuss words.

CHANCELLOR OF
GERMANY FACES
A GRAVE CRISIS
Silence Of Won Heftling
Taken to Mean He Is Out
Of Sympathy With Plans
Of Government.
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Jan. Another change
in the German chancellorship Is likely
to follow the present dispute between
the militarists and the Socialists with
in the central empires over the Brest-
Litovsk peace terms.
Count won Hertlines name has
scarcely been mentioned in connection
with the peace negotiations. What

of open leadership.
Count Won Hertling's silence may,
indeed, mean that he has no hope OF
the present negotiations with Russia
succeeding in a way advantageous {,
Germany, and for that reason he Is
holding aloof.
LOSING HIS PRESTIGE.
But whatever his reasons, the new
chancellor has failed at a crucial mo-
ment to show open qualities of indie
pendence and of democratic command.
Unless Count Won Hertling comes for
ward with bold measure of his own,
there can be no doubt but that his
prestige will be seriously damaged.
What democratic leadership exists ut
all among the central powers at the
present time has passed to Count
Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister. II was he who announced
the no annexations and no indemni-
ties peace basis at Brest -Litovsk,
which was later changed by the Ger
man militarists into an imperialistic
announcement Count Won Hertling,
being a south German Catholic, may
naturally be considered as sympathetic
toward the political ideals Of Austria.
At CRITICAL POINT.
1t is quite probable. in fact, that
Count Won Hertling is a supporter Of
the Austro- Hungarian formula and
opposes the demands of the German
militarists. His peculiar silence at this
critical time lends itself to that inter.
probation. But il such Is the case, he
has allowed himself to be cowed by the
crown prince, Hindenburg and pan
German influences. Count Won Hert-
ling, long reputed to be the wisest
statesman in Germany, is now at the
critical point Of his career. He cannot
keep silent much longer and see any
of his influence remain. ."
