GERMANY WILL NOT
 QUIT OCCUPIED LAND
HAS NO INTENTION OF PERMA- NENTLY HOLDING TERRITORY
 SUGGESTS A PLEElSCiTE.

Berlin.-An official statement is sued here giving the reply by the cen tral powers to the Russian proposals at Brest-Litovsk says the Russian pro posais concerning the regions occ6- pied by the central powers diverge to such a degree from the views of the central powers that in their present form they are unacceptable.
 Withdrawal of the Austrian and German troops from the occupied ter rltories while the war lasts is impos- sible, the statement says.
 The Austrians and Germans, says the statement, do not intend to com pei the territories in dispute to ac- cept this or that form of state, but they reserve for themselves and the peoples of the occupied territories free hand for the conclusion of treat ies of every kind.
 The official statement says the Rus sian proposals do not show a compro- missing attitude and do not consider the opposite parties on a just basis. Nevertheless, it adds, the central pow CTS again are prepared to give clear ly formulated expression of their opinions and to try to find a basis for a compromise.
 For the central powers, as distinct from the case with Russia, the an nouncement adds, a conclusion Of peace with Russia has no connection with a general peace, and the central powers are compelled to continue the war against their other enemies.
 The assertion that the right of self determination is an attribute of na- tions and not of parts of nations is not our conception of self-determina- ton, the official statement declares. It must not be assumed that the linn it's of occupation are standard for fixing the boundaries of such portions.
 The Austro-Germans, the statement declares, do not intend incorporating the territories now occupied by them into their respective countries.

Little Rock.

AlIliC 1bOShs
 Leaks in the roof of number of Little Rock business houses and resi- dences caused a loss of at least $250- 900. The melting snow and rain drenched the stocks of several firms, and the Marion. Capital and Gleason hotels suffered considerable loss from the same cause. The streets of the city are impossible and the street crossings are covered with slush and water from two to three feet deep. Street cars stopped running early in the day and announcement was made off on account of danger from fallen and crossed wires.
 Officials of the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company and John Bleidt, city electrician, after an inVeS- tigation and conference, decided that cut off all current.
 When the suggestion was present ed to Mayor Taylor, he said he would authorize cutting off all current only as an extreme emergency measure, but he advised that all persons equip their homes with lamps or other means of providing light.
 The Pulaski County grand jury was scheduled to reconvene after the holi day recess, but Judge Wade ordered an adjournment. The other 14 mem bers were either snow or water bound and could not reach the courthouse.

M 'CUMBER PICTURES
 AMERICA'S POSITION
DECLARES ENGLAND IS NOW BEARING BRuNT OF THE WAR
 SAYS DUTY NEGLECTED.
koAoAoAoAonoto otoaoltoaoA AoHoA

Washington. - Senator McCumber of North Dakota gave the Senate a gloomy picture of the position of the United States and her allies, in em- phasizing his plea for radical speed ing up of the shipbEilding program. He declared England was now bear ing the brunt of the war, and asked: How long can she stand this strain?" The United States must send 5,000,- 600 troops to balance the man-power of the central powers, he said, and 7,000,000 would be needed to make the Germans retreat
 Russia and Roumania are out of the war, asserted Senator McCum- Der. 'Italy is losing ground. France is unable to make any headWay. The wall of opposition at the eastern end of the battle line in continental EU- rope is crumbling. Who can say how long Italy can or will withstand the Teutonic pressure? Optimistic in deed must be the man who will say a single year, without additional sup port. With Italy under the heel of the conqueror, with France assailed in the flank, who can prophecy that the country will not quickly be brought under the heel of the same conqueror and England's army left to battle against overwhelming num- bers? This is delineating two things; First, the exact situation as it now is Snnnnd hn 1nCcfIaiIit;oe ,F future, and it is presented with the hope that we will at least partially awaken to a realization of what is before us"
 Senator McCumber said the idea that pointing out our weakness dis couraged the American people and encouraged the enemy was mistak- en one, and declared that We must now learn the lesson that boasting will not win this war"
 He said he was tired of hearing ar gument that Germany would be re- duced to submission by starvation, and stated that the central powers control three times as much territory III EuIOpS dS uo lI6 dlll6S. ID6 pal ance of resources held by this cuon- try, he said, should not be considered until there was tonnage to carry men and products across the seas
 "The entente powers have about reached their limit" he said. ITO bal ance of resources held by this coun- powers this country would have to send 5.000,000 men," and argued that another 100000 was necessary to overbalance the geographical advan- tage of the central nations, and an- other 100000 if the United States and her allies wished to be the aggressors, in other words, 1000, 900 to make the Germans retreat
 When the United States entered the var the allies cried: Give us ships" declared Senator McCumber We al- layed their fears; we assured them we would supply them shipping. We took that duty upon ourselves, the most important, the most vital duty incumbent upon us in this war. And We have neglected that duty beyond any other, shamefully neglected it."

CITES CAMP PIKE
 FOR DISEASE RATE
DECLARES CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANY WORSE NOW THAN IN
 THE PAST.
CAMP HOSPITAL FILLED
It Is Said as a Result of a Breakdown in the Camp Heating Plant There Is Danger of the Situation
 Becoming Worse.

1lllIG 1lOCh.--
 "It is nothing new that we are sending patients to the hospital al Fort Logan H. Roots," said Lieut.. Col. Robert M Thornbury, division sur eeon, wheS interviewed in regard to health cohSiuons at Camp Pike.
 Col Thornbury's declaration was ill reply to the following dispatch print ed in the afternoon paper under a Washington date:
 Camp Pike. Ark, shows such a ma teriaI increase during the last few days in eases of measles and pneu monia that the camp hospital is filled to absolute capacity. It has been found necessary to transfer number of patients to the hospital at Camp Logan Roc Is, four miles away, and to order additional nurses from nearby stations to Camp Pike. Army medical officers described the situation as not entirely satisfactory but declar- ed there is no immediate cause for ap- prehension. It was said that as a re- suit of a breakdown in the camp heat ing plant there was danger of the sit uation becoming worse"
 Continuing, Col Thornburg said:
 "Wa have been sending patients to Fort Roots far over a month, in order to give more air space and floor space 10 the pneumonia cases. We have also opened four large, warm barracks for pneumonia cases, so that they may have an abundance of air space. Pa tients are not discharged from the hospital at Camp Pike as soon as they are well, but are held until they have regained their strength and are ready for duty. whick accounts for the large number in the hospital"
 According to figures given out by the registrar of vital statistics of Ar eenta and Hill township, 127 deaths, an average of 4.09 daily, occurred in the Eighty-seventh Division, National Army at Camp Pike during Decem- Der.
 One hundred and nine of the deaths were caused by pneumonia.
 Measles and scarlet fever were the most prevalent diseass, but caused death in only one case each.
 Meningitis was second in number of fatalities. with five. and septicemia, or blood poisoning, was third in fatali- ties, four Two of the deaths were suicide cases.
 Besides measles and scarlet fever, the following diseases caused one death each during the month: Tuber- culosis, diphtheria, cerebral hemor- rhage, appendicitis, intestinal obstruc- tion and diabetes.
 Col. Thornbury stated that the fg- Hres were not excessive, considering the prevalence of pneumonia, which is 10 be found in all of the camps at this time. He stated that Col. Chamber lain, T. E. M. C., sanitary inspector from the surgeon generals office, left Camp Pike Tuesday and pronounced conditions materially improved since his last in spection. six weeks.

WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN
There Will Be No Cessation of Can-
 paIgn Single Day During 1918.

An extensive campaign for sale of war savings stamps is being conduct- ed during January by Moorhead Wright, state director, and the group directors and chanmen under him. The third Liberty Loan campaign will start in February, and while there is to be no cessation of the war savings campaign a single day during 1918, yet this campaign will be oyershadowed by the Liberty Bond campaign next month, and many Of the wheel horses of the war savings committee will be used by the Liberty Bond campaign CTS.
 The Liberty Loan and the war say- ings campaigns need not conflict, MT. Wright said, because they offer dif- ferent forms of investment to the people, although the security is the same-the good will and integrity of the richest nation on earth. The hest way to prove your patriotism" MT. Wright said, "is to invest in both i to the limit of your ability

OPERATION OF WATERWAYS NEXT
M'ADOO HINTS TO SENATE CON- MlTTEE IT MAY BE DONE-HE
 URGES RAILROAD BILL.
SERVICE BEING IMPROVED
Railroad Director Says Short Line Roads Not Taken Over Wil. Not Be Compensated By Government-
 Must Go To the Courts.

Washington. - Director General McAdoo explained to the Senate In terstate CommeI Committee the operation of government control of railroads and urged speedy passage Of the administration railroad bill by Congress in order to clarify the finan- cial situation so as to permit the float ing of $10,000,000, in bonds by the government before the end of the present fiscal year. He also asserted that government operation would be extended to canals and inland water ways if it was considered necessary.
 MT. McAdoo spent more than two hours before the committee, during which he was freely questioned re- garding the necessity for government control of carriers and the compensa- ton of short line railroads. He will appear again and probably will go be- fore a House committee later.
 Investigations are being made, the director general said, to determine what short line railroads are to be re- tained by the government. Those not taken over, he declared, will not be compensated, and if they suffer dam ages redress will have to be obtained in the courts. He said it was not pro- posed to keep control of any unneces- sary lines.
 MT. McAdoo said the present rail road organization would continue to be employed as long as they are sat 
 T don't feel that the government ought. to employ anybody who isn't necessary" he declared, but I feel that we should aot .disintegrate the railroad organizations until Congress has decided the future of the rail. roads"
 Director General McAdoo said some good has been accomplished in the three weeks of government control through re-routing, distributions and coordination.
 Questioned regarding the necessity for government control, MT. McAdoo said it was necessary by the railroads lack of facilities to handle increased war traffic and their failure to proper ly coordinate. Disclaiming any inten- tion to censure the carriers, he said, blame for not meeting the transporta- tion situation rested upon them be- cause of their failure to increase their facilities in 1916 and 1917. In those years, he said, they spent less for inn provement than in previous years, de- spite increased traffic.
 MT. McAdoo urged that the appro- priation of $500,Oo0,09O in the bill be retained, to enable the government to increase facilities or make good def ciencies, although he hoped it would not be necessary to use the money for this purpose.
