Allies Are Awaiting
Americas Approval

Paris. Dec. 5.--Nothing definite
was decided at the allied confer
ences in London this week without
American approval. Col. House hav-
ing been unable to attend the delib-
erations, because of his illness, from
which he is now rapidly recovering,
those matters on which Americas
decision is lacking were held in
allegiance.
Premier Clemenceau this afternoon
called upon Col. House at his resi-
dence. and this morning Baron Son.
nino, the Italian foreign minister,
paid his respects. Both are under
stood to have assured him to this
effect and to have reported on the
London conferences.
On Saturday the House delegation
will move from the private residence
in the RIVE University to the Hotel
Crillon. where the principal Ameri-
can peace delegates will be quar-
tered.
Col. House expects to meet Presi-
dent Wilson upon the latter's arrival
at Brest, leaving Paris early next
week.

4SHIP LINES
GET RELEASE
First Step Toward Turning
Transportation Systems
Back to Owners Taken.

The first step by the United States
Railroad Administration toward turn
ing back the transportation system Of
the country to private ownership and
operation was taken yesterday when
the first order of REIMBURSEMENT, COW
ering several large coastYise steam
ship lines, was issued.
The Clyde Steamship Company, the
Mallory Steamship Company, the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Company, and the Southern Steam
ship Company are by the order en-
tirely relinquished to their owners.
The order is effective December at
1901 a. m, but for accounting pur-
poses it may be treated as effective
at the same hour on December 1.
The reasons given for the order are
in line with the Presidents policy
as expressed to Congress, namely,
that the systems are no longer re-
quired by the government for war
purposes.
Whereas" the order reads, "the
emergency which made such exercise
OF the war power necessary and de-
sirable has by reason of the signing
of an armistice with the enemies of
the United States ceased, and the use
Of the transportation systems afore-
said is no longer necessary for the
transfer and transportation of troops.
war material and equipment or other
wise for the war purposes of the gov
ernment"
The lines were taken possession
of by the government on April IS.
A number of other coastwise lines,
including the New England, Chesa-
peake Bay, Old Dominion. Southern
Pacific. Ocean and San Francisco &
Portland lines are not affected by
the order.
While the first REIMBURSEMENT or
der is signed in less than a month
after the signing of the armistice.
1t is regarded here as carrying out
tha policy Of the Administration to
turn back only those lines that can
be relinquished without disturbance,
pending action by Congress.
Mr.. McAdoo said yesterday he
would make a report upon the years
government operation of the trans
portation systems to the President
at the end OF the year and that he
might even remain in office a few
days after January 1 to complete
the report. unless his successor were
named sooner.
While the Director General does
not wish to lay out a policy for his
successor. it is understood that Mr.
McAdoo's recital of his experience
with the transportation lines. the
railroads especially. will contain
very definite suggestions about
what should be done with them in
the future.

BOLSHEVISM ON

Official of Kerensky Re-

Bolshevism in Russia is tottering

who fled here following the overthrow
OF the kerensky government. In 1905

ice. the baron sketches present condi-
lions in Russia, pointing out the un-
certainty besetting patriotic Russians
as to the fate OF Russia at the peace
table.
The most important question now
worrying all the Russians is GER
talnly the way Russia will be rep
resented at the peace conference.
Russians feel very much afraid OF
certain tendencies which seemingly
would like to see Russia, IL not ex-
cluded. at least set aside from the
main discussions at the peace table
This would be a fatal mistake, as IL
would certainly ALLEVIATE the Rus

full relations of the Russian people
with the outside world. The diffi-
culties in that matter are. not min
imized by the Russians. They very
well see that the present situation
is a very difficult one. but even a
superficial comparison with so many
other European nationalities shows
that Russia in the matter is not
much worse off. and that even the

Because of Prohibition
Sentiments, He Says

Arthur Brisbane appeared before the
Senate Judiciary subcommittee yes
terday afternoon to testify concern
ing the purchase of the Washington
Times and certain editorials appear
ing under his name in the various
newspapers of the country.
Mr.. Brisbane declared that his re-
quest to appear before the subcom-
mittee arose from his desire to clear
himself of the charge Of pro-German-
ism brought by imputation against
him in many newspapers and periodi-
Gals of the country. He stated that
he had been bitterly anti-German even
before the entrance Of the United
States into the war. and in his edi-
torials and other writings had strong
ly advocated the suppression of Prus-
sianism.
'I could not be neutral" he said.
because Of my sympathy with
France"
Mr.. Brisbane said that the Alien
Property Custodian. A. Mitchell Pal
mer. had privately withdrawn his
charges and would do so publicly.
Refused to Buy Mail.
Mr.. Brisbane stated that Mr.. Pal
mer had offered to sell him the
Evening Mail for $50. 200, but that he
had refused to consider the PROPOSE
ton upon the discovery that the paper
was 500 900 in debt and losing $50, 900
every month.
Senator Stirling. of South Dakota,
a member OF the subcommittee. asked
Mr.. Brisbane to explain his apparent
ant-English attitude. as indicated by
certain editorials. The witness de-
cla-ed that these editorials, while in
some cases i'll advised, had been writ
ten in honest expression of his true
opinion on the subject.
Senator Stirling asked the witness IL
he did not believe that the impress
sion created by certain of the edi-
torials would be that the writer was
ant-war. Mr.. Brisbane declared that
he did not.
Senator Walcott, appointed by Sem

HOSPITAL BILL.
FOR WOUNDED
Measure Finally Passes
House After 3 Days Of
Wrangling.
ROW PURELY PARTISAN
Republicans Charge Incom-
potency; Democrats Charge
Lack of Patriotism.

After three consecutive days of
wrangling and flibustering, the House
yesterday passed a bill appropriat-
ing 81, 900 for the establishment and
maintenance -or one year OF a san
ttarium for wounded and diseased
soldiers and sailors. A resolution
granting authority for the construc-
tion OF a bridge at Fort Smith. Ark.
is the only other measure passed
by the House since the third session
OF the present Congress was con-
vened last Monday.

Ytded that it be located at Dawsons
Springs. KY. As it finally passed.
however. a Commission to be named
by the President will select a suita-
BILE site.
Frequent tits between the Repub-
licans and Democrats marked the
three-days' discussion OF the bill. Re-
publicans charged the Democrats with
waste and inefficiency, and the Demo-
Gratis accused the Republicans of be-
ing unwilling to provide for neces-
sary treatment of the men who have
lost their health in the service OF
the country.
This afternoon Representative Gil
let, Republican. OF Massachusetts,
took exception TO a remark made by
Representative Garrett, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, on the question of section
allsm- Mr.. GilIett said when the bill
was first brought up he suggested that
a survey Of the whole country be made
before any location was selected.
Republican Floor Leader Mann said
he saw no reason why the Republi-
cans should be tender regarding what
the Democrats said; that the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate and House had
been repudiated in the November
elections. and the Republicans only
have to bear with the Democratic ma
jOIity for a little while longer.
Representative Clark. of Florida in
charge of the bill, said there had been
more misunderstanding and misstate-
rnents about this bill than about any
1neasure before the House during his
fourteen years of membership.
Representative Hefiin predicted that
II the Republicans followed the course
indicated by their combined opposi-
ton to the sanitarium bill. they
wouldn't have a handful Of repre-
.sntatives in Congress after the next
elections"

MAY PICK LANE
ROADS BOSS
Secretary of Interior Looms
As Probable Successor
to McAdoo.

With the resignation from the
United States Railroad Administration
yesterday of Judge Robert s. Lovett,
director of the division of capital ex-
penditures. Secretary of the Interior
Franklin X. Lane loomed up as a
probable successor TO Director Cen
eral McAdoo.
While no intimation at railroad ad-
ministration headquarters that Mr..
Lane had been asked to take the rail-
road office was made, the report per-
sisted. Mr.. McAdoo, 1t was said by
those close to him. had been unable
yesterday to make a recommendation
TO the President, but that as soon as
he could do so he would wireless or
cable him the name Of the man, for
the Presidents action.
Judge Lovett is understood to have
been asked to take the place. but his
resignation to return to the Union
Pacific enirely disposed OF his elegi
bility. it was admitted by Mr.. Nc
Adoo.
Mr.. Lane. it is pointed out. as a
member of the Cabinet, would be the
most appropriate as well as best fitted
man for the place in the event of
CONGRESSES failure to attach a salary
to the office. His long experience with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the high regard the President has
for his judgment in transportation
matters is pointed to.
If one member of the cabinet could
hold down both jobs, it is said that
Mr.. Lane is another man who could
do likewise. Inasmuch as the tenure
Of the office is for an indefinite period,
too. it is understood that Mr.. McAdoo
looks with favor upon this solution
of the appointment problem and would
make the recommendation to the
President If Mr.. Lane would under
take the double work.
