ROADS SHOULD Be
KEPT AFTER war
Must Not Be Turned Over for q Time,
Says McAdoo-Is Opposed to
Government Ownership.

Washington. JAN 21.-Director Cen
eral McAdoo told the senate interstate
commerce committee today he thought
the government should retain opera
ton Of the railroads for some time
after peace comes and not return them
to private ownership until new and
comprehensive laws had been enacted
to govern them.
ut should be borne in mind" said
Mr.. McAdoo, that by the end OF the
war the public and shippers will be
accustomed to dealing with the gov
eminent and l am convinced that time
should be given at the end of the war
before the railroads are turned back
to their owners"
do you personally believe in gov
eminent ownership, asked Senator
Watson.
NO." replied Mr.. McAdoo. "but ]
do believe 1t will be impossible to turn
the roads back to their owners under
the same system by which they were
operated when the government took
them over. There must be some form
Of government control"
Director General McAdoo denied
that he had anything to do with the
fuel restriction order. He said he ap.
proved of the order and thought il
| would be very beneficial.

COAL ORDER GETS
RESULTS IN EAST

Pottsville, Pa. Jan. 21.-More trains
started for tidewater in the last SO
hours than were moved in a single
week Of the coal shortage, according
to railroad men. All railroads tapping
the Pennsylvania anthracite fields, by
mobilizing locomotives, crews and la
borers, have made Roadway in reduc-
ing the number Of loaded coal cars
which have been jammed in classifi-
cation yards and on sidings. The
railroads hope to break the conges-
ton by the end of the week.
Both the Pennsylvania and Reading
roads gave coal trains the right of
way over passenger traffic yesterday.
The Lehigh Valley road cancelled all
Sunday passenger traffic on branch
lines.
An embargo on passenger service
from two to five days on branch lines
as the most effective means of reliev-
ing the congestion is advocated by
railroad men.

Allies Keeping
UpExpectancy
Sec.BakerSays

Washington, Jan. 21-The allies
are maintaining an eXpectant attitude
on the western front, Secretary Baker
stated today in his weekly war review,
while recent events in Russia have
greatly increased strategic freedom
for the central empires.
The review is for the week ending
Jan. 10. 1t says in part:
There is little to record in the way
OF military activity during the past
week. On the western front the allies
are maintaining an expectant attitude
While the enemy has been busy
concentrating his offensive forces the
British and French have greatly
strengthened their defensive positions,
reorganization of their tactical ar
engagements, which in many instances
are as they were hitherto, chiefly of
an offensive character and are now
prepared for every eventuality.
THE recent events in Russia, which
have removed from the theatre of ac-
tive operations over 900 miles of
front in the east, the invasion of Italy
and the consequent shortening of the
battle line in this zone by nearly one
hundred and fifty miles. have resulted
in greatly increased strategic freedom
for the central empires.
Reviewing the minor operations
which took place during the period
under examination, it is noticeable
that ascendent initiative and alertness
is again displayed by the allies.

Deferred Glass

Washington, Jan. Enforcement
appeal agents have been instructed to
appeal all cases where local draft
boards have granted deferred classifi-
cation to either class 2 or on account
Of marriage since the draft law was
enacted MAY IS, 1919
Provost Marshal General Crowder
in a telegram to governors of states,
said this step should be taken to Sc
cure uniformity of action and give dis
trict boards opportunity to review
classification by local boards.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has notified draft boards that it is
contrary to the selective service reg
ulations for boards to issue permits to
men of draft age to go abroad to en-
list in the armies of other nations.
Some boards are reported to have
been issuing such permits.
