Found Many Inequalities.

1.-THE investigation of the commission
disclosed many Inequalities Of pay in
the Same branch Of service. The at
tention of the railroad managers should
be directed to these inequalities, with
view to removing them whenever the
discrimination Is not justified. In every
case where the same service is rendered
there should be the same pay without
regard to sex or race. Members of or
stand upon the same footing"
Large salaries paid railroad officials
received the close scrutiny of the COM
mission. which suggested that some
might be abolished.
THE commission recommends" said
the report. that during the period Of
government conduct of the railroads
essential to the operation of the roads
shall be charged as part of the operat-
ing expenses. and that a careful study
be made of the proper relation between
the salaries Of the higher officials and
those of their subordinates. with a view
to readjustment."
TT would be impossible to magnify
the importance OF the American system
Of railroads In the conduct Of this war"
the report said. in conclusion
THAT England should want for bread
because American railroad equipment
was unwisely distributed, or unneces-
sarily immobile, is a thing not to be
explained to the Englishman. who re-
CARDS our system of railroads and our
method of railroading as the model for

the actual workers on the roads,"

Urges Exhaustive Study,

But with this we earnestly urge that
a most exhaustive study be made of
this matter Of hours Of service, not
with view to the adoption of some
arbitrary and universal policy which
shall have no regard to the kind of
work done. or to the effect upon the
railroad service. but with these very
considerations in mind.
with the matter of overtime as with
hours Of service, the commission be-
lteves that the existing rules and con-
ditions of payment should not be dis
turbed during the period of the war
THE employment of women Is one of
the important problems confronting
those in charge OF the actual operation
OF the railroads. Since the war women
have entered the shops, have engaged
in handling freight and baggage, and
have even been employed upon the
tracks. Much of this work requires a
physical effort beyond the strength Of
women, and some OF it is carried on
under conditions menacing to health,
safety and morals. AS the war takes
an increasing number Of men, women
must. to some degree. take the places
OF men. They should be cared for
Their burden should not be such as to
hazard their health. Their hours should
be reasonably short. Their working
conditions should be healthful and fit
ted to their needs. And their pay, when
they do the full work of men, should
be the same as that Of men.

the Rhine Country-Asks
Evacuation Delay.

Zurich, Nov. 29.-Dr. w. s. Solf,
German foreign minister, has ad-
dressed the following note to the al
lied powers:
According to an additional note
sent to the armistice convention by
the allies. Belgium, France, LuXem-
burg and Alsace-LOrraine must be
evacuated within fifteen days. This
retirement must be made In three
stages, each marked on the map. The
third stage has been reached and en-
croaches upon the Rhine country west
Of Prum, between Herzig and Sarre-
yuemines, and comprises Sarrelouis
and Sarrebruck.
TT seems possible this encroach-
ment may have been made to attempt
the annexation Of these territories to
Aisace-LOrraine. The protest Of the
German commission has not been con-
sidered. The German government
makes most solemn protest against all
attempts to deprive Germany Of these
territories"
The German armistice commission
has again presented argument support
Ing delay in the evacuation Of terri
tories west Of the Rhine, claiming the
economic situation there supports Ger

Bavaria and Berlin Break.
Copenhagen, Nov. 29.-The republic
OF Bavaria has broken diplomatic re-

continuation Of the deceit Of the peo-
pie by the Berlin government"
The break has been threatening for
days. At the federal conference in
Berlin early this week Kurt Eisner,
Bavarian president, openly foreshad-
owed 1t. He demanded the immediate
ousting Of Dr. Mthias Erzberger and
trying to continue Prussian imperial
istic policies.

Bavaria now looms as the successor

Germany. She is assured Of the sup
port of virtually all the new German
Austrian republic. The attitude Of the
northern states is obscure. Prussia,
where the soviets are most influential,
is threatened with complete isolation.

to have the allied blockade Of Germany
lifted to enable the Germans to OBJ

SPOT ON NAPoLEON'S RECORD
Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory Of
Great Soldiers Early Wonderful
Successes in the Field,

The military genius of Bonaparte is
still fruitful theme for discussion. In
the early part of his career he achieved
such successes as made his name
terror to Europe, and gained for him
a prestige which a series of cOntinu-
GUS and overwhelming defeats in the
latter part of his history was unable
to destroy. But in the game of war,
results alone can form the criterion,
and the victories of Marengo, Auster-
litz and Wagram can scarcely be adj
mitted in compensation for the blum
ders of the Russian campaign and the
overthrow at Waterloo.
One qualification of a great general
was conspicuous in his character, the
capacity of recognizing and rewarding
merit in whatever position it might be
found. Favoritism was almost un-
known in his army. He was of cold
blOoded temperament, engrossed ex-
clusively by the master-passion, ambi-
tiOn, and the very cause which kept
his moral purity inviolate made him
almost insensible to the promptingS of
love and affection.
