PASSENGE R RATES
may BE INCREASED
TO CURTAIL TRAVEL
Director MCAdOO Tells House
Committee Some Of Things
He May Do

Washington, Jan. 23-To cuhtail
travel on the national railroad during
the war, Din,ctor General McAdoo
may soon increase passenger rates.
Passenger trains also may be further
reduced later.
Called today before the house inter
state commerce committee to explain
what steps have been taken and are
contmplated to relieve the freight CON
igstion in the east, McAdoo indicated
that among other steps, drastic reduc-
tion of passenger traffic is essential.
"For the present, = he said, "a halt
has been called on the curtailment OF
passenger trains because many state
commissions, with the best of inten-
itions, started wholesale slashing of
this service.
"Before the passenger service can
be reduced much more, in order tol pre-
vent many disturbances, the great
amount of travel must be decreased.
When that time comes | think the
rates ought to be raised
At the request of Chairman Sibs,
the director general first took up the
provision of the bill appropriating
i$500.tS9 900 as a revolving fund.

troll plan," McAdoo stated, "but
with the government back Of them to
stabilize their credit.
1t is improbable, McAdoo stated,
that the revolving fund will have to
be used to make up deficiencies in op-
Grating cost.
"The amount of railroad securities
that must be SnatuSed this year will
be about $222,0O0,000, the director
general said, "with equal amounts for
1919 and 1920"
Turning to the status of railroaad
Iemploves on question from Repre-
sentative Esch, McAdoo stated that
the railway workers are in effect gov
ernment lentployes, but technically
they are not.
Representative Wilson, Massachu-
sets, charged that many railway en-
ployes, believing they are in the gov
ernment's employ, are growing lax in
their work.
McAdoo sharply denied the charge,
saying his reports indicated the CON
trary. The spirit of both officers and
employees in this respect is most graft
flying, the director general said

NORTHWEST NEWS
Recruits From East,

Bremerton, Wash.s Jan. 23.-Four
thousand naval recruits from eastern
states are coming here for training, ac-
cording to officials of the yard today.
Cold weather and the shortage of fuel,
it is said, is causing the removal of the
men from the Great Lakes camp to
the yard at Bremerton.
The base here has been given over
almost entirely to naval reservists enlist
ed in the submarine chaser division. but
they fill but small part of this big
camp, which will accommodate 5000
men.

'DisCredited Shipping
Head Is PessiInistic

Washington, Jan. 23.-Germany will
win the war this year, unless building
of ships is speeded up, William Den
man, former chairman of the shipping
board, predicted today before the SEN
ate commerce committee.
Denman gave the committee a con
fidential report prepared by the ship
ping board last May and never before
made public. 1t was not given to
congress because of the dispute which
broke out about that time between
Denman and General Goethals, but it
contained warning that German vic
tory was certain unless the shipbuild-
ing program was greatly expanded.
Denman told the committee that u
boats are sinking ships at the rate of
100000 tons year.

measures have not been relaxed, federal

More than a score Of arrests have been
made. They were persons found trying

PEACE PROSPECTS
(euo e5vd moIJ penupuoO)

by the Central Powers at Brest -Litovsk.
Delayed dispatches from Brest-Lit-
ovsk received today told of a formal
protest to the peace conferees by Cen
eral Hoffman, in which he declared IA
would be compelled to withdraw the
German commission on prisoners of war
from Petrograd where it is now nego-
tiating, if the soviet expected to place
German prisoners on the same level as
private soldiers.
The Russia delegation, it was assert
ed, had lodged complaint to Kuehlmann
and Czernin that "Central Powers
newspaper accounts of the negotiations
omitted Trotsky's declaration, in which
he denounced the reversal of position
by Germany on the principles accepted
by the Russians December 25."
The protest, it was stated, chad
pointed out that such suppression by
the German government of this declara-
tion had misled public opinion in Ger
many"
One paragraph in Foreign Minister
Trotsky's formal report on the Brest-
Litovsk proceedings today had this
forceful description of the situation.
'fThe revolution cannot live in an at
mosphere of deceit and falsehood. At
this given moment the revolution may
not be in position to repudiate annex
ations, but it will not humiliate itself
to call black white; it will not cover
up brutal annexationist pretentions with
the fig leaf of democracy.
''The Brest-Litovsk pourparlers make
it clear nothing more can be demanded
from the Germans.
Trotsky's statement added:
"The Germans at Brest-LitOvsk made
no secret of their desire to seize Poland
Lithuahia and Courland and cut off Ri
ga from the Moon Islands; to make
the latter a Baltic Gibralter, strang-
ling Russia economically and political
