KAISER TO GUST
BEATEN PEOPLE
TO Get COLONIES
Warning Is Issued to Poles
and West Russians,

AMST ERDAM, May 3.--(Corre-
sPondsnee OF The Associated Press.)--
An unpleasant prospect Tor the peoples
of territories occupied by the Germans
is outlined in an article which has Just
appeared in the German newspapers,
urging that they shall be driven out to
make room for German colonies.
Germany" says the article, has
been forced to destroy whole states, as
il they were castles constructed of cards
and has thus lost blood from millions
of wounds. Considering this. it cannot
be wrong or immoral TO eNpel the Poles
from the territories OF old Russia. so
that we may prepare in those regions
new fatherland for the German
refugees who have come from all parts
OF the world
"The question is not one Of morals,
it is merely a political and economic
problem The question is not what
shall we do with the nationalites Of
the occupied territories But rather
how shall we proceed to group those
territories so that they may best serve
the interests Of Germany
Let the latter consideration be the
keynote of our reorganization of con
quered lands wherever they may be
situated"

WASHINGTON, May 3-During the
first three months of government regu-
lation, ia American railroads showed
a net operating income of SS4, lO8,66l.

The earnings report indicates roughly
that the government lost more than

result OF bad weather and traffic losses

produce ship tonnage OF only ten mil
lion dead-weight in 1919 with the es-
innate of the U-boat losses of seven mill
lion gross tons in 1918. and said
"A program which contemplates but

fronted the people OF this country II
is worse than trifling; it is suicidal
"Our only hope of winning this war is
in being able to keep our allies in the

As preface to his conclusions Sena-
