large amounts are coming in, hard

Secretary Of War Interested.

An interesting little outcome of
| the luncheon which the Vice Presi-
/ dent and Mrs. Marshall gave at the
Pan-American Union building yes
ness. Prince Higashi-Fushimi was
| revealed this morning when the Sec
rotary OF War. Mr.. Baker. went to
cal! at the home OF Mrs. Thomas F.
Walsh to inspect the wonderful work
she has carried on there in the way
Of furnishing clothing for the women
and children Of France and Belgium.
The Secretary took Mrs. Walsh into
luncheon on his arm, and their con-
versation naturally drifted to the war
on this side. When Mrs. Walsh ex-
planned the unique line Of work car
ried on in her home and under her
direct supervision. but with the as
sistance of friends. the Secretary ex-
pressed a great desire to see the ex-
hibit which Mrs. Walsh always keeps
in the workrooms to encourage folks,
and he was a visitor there today for
the purpose.
Secretary Daniels is also very much
interested in these RECONSTRUCTED gar
ments for the less fortunate folk on
Walsh to see the work. While the
styles are naturally conservative and
such as are furnished and recon-
mended by those from the other side,
the reconstructed coats. dresses. little
trousers and SO on are perfect in
spirations to a frugal mother and
should be publicly exhibited for their
benefit as local enterprise.

EISENMATH'S PLANS
WERE VISIONARY

Washington, Jan. 4.-Failure of the
government to call on many large
clothing manufacturers to make uni
forms was assailed by Frank S. Turn
bull, of New York, president of Rog-
ers, Peet ~ Co.. when the war inquiry
was resumed today by the committee.
There was no earthly reason why
we couldn't have clothed the men and
clothed them fast" he said.
To conserve wool, Mr.. Turnbull saiS.
Charles +. Eisenman, vice. chairman
of the supplies committee of the coun-
Gil of national defense, had proposed
that all civilian clothing during the
war be made of shoddy.
THAT was visionary and ,7npracti-
cal" Mr.. Turnbull said, "and could
only be done by law. Mr.. EiseIman
wanted to start a propaganda to stop
wearing of all-wool garments by civil
ians."
The new standard OF army cloth
containing shoddy, the witness pre-
dicted would not be as durable or
warm, contradicting testimony given
by other manufacturers.
julius Forstmann, a manufacturer.
of Passaic. n. j., told the COMMITTEES
a limited percentage of shoddy would
not deteriorate quality of army over
coats. but he opposed its use in other
clothing.

nificance as elements in the pres
ent financial and industrial sit
uation of the country. Indeed, one
of the strong arguments for as
suming control of the railroads at
this time is the financial argument.
1t is necessary that the values of
the railway securities should be
justly and fairly protected and
that the large financial operations
every year necessary in connec-
ton with the maintenance, opera
tion and development Of the roads
should, during the period Of the
war; be wisely related to the finan-
cial operations of the government.
Our first duty is, of course, to con-
serve the common interest and the
common safety and to make certain
that nothing stands in the way Of
the successful prosecution Of the
great war for liberty and justice,
but it is also an obligation of pub
lie conscience and of public honor
that private interests we disturb,
should be kept safe from unjust
injury, and 1t is Of the utmost con-
sequence to the government itself
that all great financial operations
should be stabilized ami co-ordi-
mated with the financial operations
of the government. No borrowing
should run athwart the borrowings
of the federal treasury, and no
fundamental industrial values
should anywhere be unnecessarily
impaired. In the hands of many
thousands of small investors in
the country, as well as in national
banks, in insurance companies,
in savings banks, in trust COM
panies, in financial agencies OF
every kind, railway securities, the
sum total of which runs up to
some ten or eleven thousand mil
lions, constitute a vital part of the
structure of credit, and the un-
questioned solidity of that struc-
ture must be maintained.
As to McAdoo's Appointment.
The secretary of war and easily
agreed that. in view of the many
complex interests which must be
safeguarded and harmonized. as
well as because Of his exceptional
experience and ability I'm this new
field of governmental action,
the Honorable William G. McAdoo
was the right man to assume direct
administrative control OF this new
executive task. At our request, he
consented to assume the authority
and duties of organizer and direc-
tor general of the new railway ad-
miniStration. He has assumed
those duties and his work is in
active progress.
Deal With Them Greatly.

SIXTEEN INJURED WHEN
NORFOLK TRAINS COLLIDE

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 4.-SiXteen men
were injured when an engine with two
coaches carrying workmen to the con-
centration depot at Portlock. Va, ran
into a light engine standing on the
main line of the Norfolk & Western
in Portlock yard early today.
All of the injured were brought to
Norfolk and rushed to st. Vincents
hospital. While it is said that none of
the men were fatally hurt, it was be-
lieved one man was internally injured.
When entering the yards at Portlock
the train smashed into an engine that
was standing on the main line. The
passengers were thrown to the noor
and against the seats in the cars.
Noses were broken. heads and faces
badly bruised and some were injured
about the body. While a majority OF
the men in the two coaches were
government employees. a few were in
the employ Of the Norfolk & West

Text of Address.

The president spoke as follows:
Gentlemen Of Congress- have
asked the privilege of addressing
you in order to report that on the
2Sth of December, last, during the
recess of congress, acting through
the secretary of war and under
the authority conferred upon me
by the act of congress approved
Aug. 29, 1916, l took possession
and assumed control of the rail-
way lines of the country and the
systems of water transportation
under their control. This step
seemed to be imperatively neces-
sary in the interest of the public
welfare, in the presence of the
great tasks Of war with which we
are now dealing. AS our expert
ence develops difficulties and
makes it clear what they are, /
have deemed it my duty to re-
move those difficulties wherever ]
have the legal power to do so. To
assume control of the vast rail-
way systems of the country is, I
realize, a very, very great respon-
sibility, but to fail to do so in the
existing circumstances would have
been much greater. | assumed the
less responsibility rather than the
weightier.
To Forward Mobilization.
] am sure that / am speaking
the mind of all thoughtful Ameri-
cans when / say that it is our
duty as the Representatives of the
nation to 90 everything that it is
necessary TO do to secure the COM
plete mobilization of the whole
resources of America by as rapid
and effective a means as can be
found. Transportation supplies
all the arteries of mobilization.
Unless it be under a single and
unified direction, the whole
process of the nations action Is
embarrassed. .
1t was in the true spirit of
America. and it was rlghs that
we should first try to effect the
necessary unification under the
voluntary action of those who
were in charge of the great rail-
way properties: and we did try it.
Commends Railway Directors.
The directors of the railways re-
sponded to the need promptly and
generously. The group of railway
executives who were charged with
the task of actual coordination
and general direction performed
their difficult duties with patriotic
zeal and marked ability. as was to
have been expected. and did. be-
lieve. everything that IL was pos
sible for them to do in the cir
cumstances. II I have taken the
task out of their hands. II has not
been because of any dereliction or
failure on their Part, but only be-
cause there were some things
which the government cSu do and
rrivate management cannot. We
shall continue to value most
highly the advice and assistance
Of these gentlemen. and am sure
we shall not find them withhold
ing it
Only Under Government Control.
II had become enthusiastically
plain that only under government
administration can the entire
equipment of the several systems
of transportation he fully and un-
ressrvedly thrown into a common
service without injurious discrimi-

pect that even under the unified
railway administration which will
now be possible sufficient econo-
mics can be effected in the opera
ton of the railways to make 1t
possible to add to their equipment
and extend their operative facili-
ties as much as the present ex-
traordinary demands upon their
use will render desirable without
resorting to the national treasury
for the funds. II it Is not possible,
it will, of course, be necessary to
resort to the congress for grants
Of money for that purpose. The
secretary of the treasury will ad-
wise with your committees with
regard to this very practical aspect
Of the matter. For the present, 1
suggest only the guarantees l have
indicated and such appropriations
as are necessary at the outset Of
this task. I take the liberty for
expressing the hope that the con-
gress may grant these promptly
and ungrudgingly. We are deal
ing with great matters and will, I
am sure. deal with them greatly.

may happen.

"There are" he says, three alterna-
tives: The bolsheviki may give way
the Germans may give way or there
will be a rupture of relations. The
first is hardly likely in view of For
eign Minister Trotzky's declaration
The second is possible, for the Ger
mans are pastmasters in the art OF
specious compromise. But the third is
most probable since the bolsheviki
have exhibited a perspicacity which
was hardly expected in this country.
Keep Germans on Frontier.
Russia may quite possibly witness
revival of the war. If not in the
most active form it might at least be
a sullenly defensive war necessitating
the keeping on the frontier of con-
siderable German force. 1t would pre-
vent those pleasant and profitable
commercial exchanges which Germany
hopes for.
Assuming such a situation and the
consolidation of bolshevik power. pro-
vidcd failure to extract a peace does
not wreck the Lenine regime, then
recognition of that power as the de
facto government follows. Since that
Is so, a socialist would be the logical
representative of that government and
Maxim Litvinoff, who has been ap-
pointed. is likely enough occupant of
the embassy"
Referring to the retirement of Sir
George w. Buchanan, the British am
bassador to Russia, whose services are
praised highly, the writer says:
I'm his place probably would be sent
a diplomat In marked sympathy with
the ideas of revolutionary Russia. :
Strengthened Allied Cause.
"Be that Is 1t may, we may expect
shortly some new statement OF policy
with regard to Russia, which, should
It lean toward the latest developments
and democracy would undoubtedly
