CHILE AND PERU TO
ACCEPT U. S. OFFER
Informal Replies Express APP
probation of Wilson's Eff
fort for Peace.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. - Chile and
Peru have replied in friendly tones to
the note OF the United States urging
upon them the supreme importance Of
adjusting amicably their controversy
over the provinces of Tacna and africa
and rendering the aid OF the United
States alone or in conjunction with
other American States.
Peru is understood to have indicated
a wish that the good Offices of the
United States might be employed to
bring about a settlement, While the
Chilean Government is said to have
contented itself with an expression Of
appreciation.
Both replies were informal and
transmitted verbally through diplo-
matte channels py the foreign offices
of the South American countries. For
NAL notes probably will follow.
There have been limitations in press
dispatches that Chile might not be in
clined to agree to action by the United
States, but might regard favorably an
offer from Argentina, which has taken
up the matter since the suggestion of
the Washington Government was
made.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 13.-President
Wilson's note to the Chilean Govern
ment expressing the desire that the
questions at issue between Peru and
Chile be amicably arranged, and the
Governments answer 10 the Presi-
dents message, were read in the
Chamber of Deputies to-day
The reply to the President declares
the Government desires and is de-
termined to preserve peace and to
carry out the conditions of the treaty
Of Ancon, which II believes must solve
the controversy between Chile and
Peru without the necessity of war.
The Chancellor of the Chamber de-
clared that Chile had never refused
to proceed TO the contamination of
the treaty of Ancon and that the
Government would now make the
greatest efforts to accomplish thi" end
The Chancellor's declaration is unani-
mously approved by the newspapers
here.

Oppose. McAdoo's Railway Plan.

Senator Cummins Ua), after a
study of the McAdoo railroad plan,
made this statement to-day;
II am opposed to extending the time
OF railroad control in the manner re-
quested by Secretary McAdoo for the
reason that it merely means a post
ponement OF the solution of the rail-
road problem. Such a postponement
is entirely unnecessary in my opinion
because there is no reason why Con-
gress cannot settle the question long
before the time fixed in the railroad
control bill under which the railroads
are now being operated.
IT am confident that within a year
at the most a satisfactory solution Of
the question can be worked out and
put into effect. We ought to deter
mine now what we are going to do
with the railroads instead of permit
ting the uncertainties and difficulties
Of the present method of control to be
continued five years or for any length
of time
81 believe that Congress should take
up the question at once and devote
itself to the working out of legislation
for the future disposition Of the roads
The Newlands joint committee ac-
quired a great quantity OF valuable in
formation. and this committee could
take up the work where it left off and
reach a satisfactory conclusion within
a very short time.

erto had worked for, and, therefore,
they regard every new worker with an
unfriendly eye. The workers profess
to think they are justified in doing
this. They are under the influence OF
Russian doctrines.
The workers leaderS mostly young
men, terrorize the older workers and
often soon become blackmailers. Thus
many large businesses are threatened
with immediate disasters, as these
leaders and their workers councils are
entirely without the requisite business
capacity. The newspapers are under
going a similar experience, but keep
silent.
This purely economic revolution has
developed extraordinarily during the
last two weeks causing despair both
In Berlin and other centres. The sit
uation in Prussia particularly is de-
clared to be almost hopeless, busi-
ness men fearing their business will
be taken over by violence.
Big Concerns Face Bankruptcy.
Soldiers councils side with the
workers. The material decline OF the
country in these circumstances must
proceed rapidly. Many big concerns
simply are facing bankruptcy. TIE
correspondents impression is that
Germany is now internally approach
ing destruction. as 1t is becoming i'm
possible to prosecute for any offence
against what they. the workers, call
property.
Already an under officer in Germany
receives more pay than an officer
The national budget has been nearly
trebled The correspondent concludes:
Il would only say that my stay in
Germany has filled me with profound
dismay at the weakness of the bonds
which still hold European civilization
together"

the United States, two by the company
interested and one by the four so pre-
viously selected.
It is practically certain that the
lines cannot be taken over permanent
~ under the Moon resolution, even II
it is adopted, as no appropriation is
included and BY the time that ques-
ton is reported, Republicans will
be in control of Congress in both
branches. One of the questions agi-
tating the Republican Senators and
Representatives most is what 1t would
cost the taxpayers of the nation to
buy the entire telephone and tele-
graph systems of the country out
right for the Government.
Date Not Yet Set for Hearings.
The date for beginning hearings on
the resolution has not been set. Pre-
sumably this matter is waiting on the
Postmaster General, who undoubtedly
will have the opportunity of being
heard first. If there is a serious eff
fort by the Administration to force
the resolution through during this ses-
sion of Congress, which Mr.. Moon is
confident there will be. the hearings
by the Postofiice Committee will be Of
the most thorough and searching
nature.
Republican members OF the COM
mittee will not say in advance that
they are fatty opposed to the resolu-
ton and all 1t carries with it, but
content themselves with saying that
they will insist that every one inter-
ested in any way shall have a full
hearing, and that subsequently the
most careful consideration will be
given to the question.
However. they declared privately
that there remains Of the present ses-
sion but little more than two and a
half months. Hearings would occupy
several weeks in the House committee
and several days would be consumed
by the House in passing the resolu-
ton, the Senate Postofiice Committee
would require several more weeks and
the Senate as much time as it chooses
to take. March 4, the automatic adj
journment of this session, will be
reached before the Moon resolution
possibly can reach the end Of it's legis
lative journey, they declared.

rection OF the Woman's committee,
National Defense, did not begin until
July 20. the State chairman of the
Woman's committee have made thor
ough plans for securing their full
State quotas.
The war is creating an unprecedent-
ed demand for trained nurses. Only
those who have taken the full train
ing course are eligible for service
with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course OF
from two to three years. Every young
woman who enrolls in the United
States student nurse reserve is re-
leasing a nurse for service at the
front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as our
second line Of hospital defense. Upon
the health of the American people will
depend the spirit OF their fighting
forces.
Qualifications and Details
Age-The call Is for women between
the ages of 10 and IS.
Observation-Disclosures. respon-
slble women OF good education and
sound health are wanted-the pick OF
the country. A college education lie
a valuable asset, and many hospitals
will give credit for It. Credit will al
so be given for special scientific
equipment or for preliminary train
ing in nursing, such as that given IN
special courses now being conducted
by various colleges and schools. Some
schools, on the other hand, do not
even require a full high school edu-
cation.
Enrollment-Women will be given
an opportunity to enroll in the United
States student nurse reserve in any
one of three ways:
% AS engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April /, 1919, to ac,
cept assignments to nurses, training
schools. These women will be sent
to the schools as fast as vacancies
occur. Those of superior qualifica-
tons will be given preference, and it
is, Of course, possible that not every
one who enrolls will be accepted.
(2) AS desiring to become candi-
dates for the army nursing school
recently established by authority of
the war department, with branch
schools in selected military hospitals.
co AS engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April 1. 1919, to ac.
cept assignments to either civilian
training school or the army nursing
school. Those who so enroll will be
called where the first need arises.

down their names for both.
