Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA com- plete economic agreement in which Great Britain and the other allied na- tions are in accord, has been reached between the United States and Nor way. The terms have not yet been made public.
 Announcement of the successful con- clusidn of negotiations was contained in this statement issued by the war trade board tonight through the com- mittee on public information:
 ''The war trade board. arting in harmony with a similar decision of the British government in regard to the Norwegian steamer Alfred Nobel, has decided to release the Norwegian steamer Kim, now lying in an Ameri- can port, and permit it to proceed to Norway with its cargo of oil cake for fodder purposes. pr. Nansen, Nor- wegian commissioner in the United States, has been informed of the de- cision, which was taken in view of the fact that the general negotiations with Norway have reached point where nothing remains except the drafting of the agreement
 Both cargoes, that of the Alfred Nobel, comprising flour and other foodstuffs, were loaded in the Argen- tine and are covered by the Norwegian rationing agreement about to be drafted"
 Although the terms of the final agreement have not been made public, Norway, in note on February IA. in reply to a memorandum of the board of January 26, acceded to most of the American demands. It refused, how ever, to agree not to export to the central powers many of it's own prod ucts, including ingredients of muni- tions and supplies of war, on the ground it depended on Germany for many necessary commodities and had to furnish that country supplies in return.
 Conditions Agreed to These conditions were agreed to by Norway:
 | That it would permit no American products to go to the central powers. That it would not export to the central powers any of its own products replaced by imports from America. | That it would limit its exportations of fish and fish products to the cen- tral powers to 4S,0OO tons annually. That in exporting to neutrals it
 would require guarantees that they would not allow to reach the central | powers any products which Norway
 agreed not to export direct to those countries That where machinery, coal, oil.
 kerosene or other auxiliaries imported from the United States were used in l producing commodities in Norway, the
 product should not be shipped to the central powers
 That it would institute a rationjne system for its population.
 Norway agreed also to limit it's nec-
 essary exportations to the central
 powers.

LONDON, Feb. 23-A dispatch to the Express from Petrograd dated Thursday says Bolshevik Foreign Min inter Trotzky started yesterday for Dvinsk ito take measures to liquidate the new hostilities."
 It is stated in military circles that the commander-in-c chief of the German invaders is the Grand Duke of Hesse, brother of the former Russian empress. says the newspaper.
 A dispatch to the Exchange Tele- graph from Petrograd dated Thursday says:
 'The retirement of the northern army is complicated by the fact that the fifth army is barring the road, en- cumbering it in disorderly retreat. To save the situation, the Bolsheviki is sending Red guard attachments from units which are not entirely disor- ganized.
 Pending the German reply to Trotzky's peace offer, the commander of the western front has ordered the retiring armies to avoid fighting with the enemy and to destroy their am- munitions"

RAILWAY BILL. IS PASSED IN
 RECORD TIME.
No Record of Sentiment on Bill as Whole Is Secured;
 Half Billion Is Amount
 Set Aside for Operation
Republican A.P. Leased wl,e1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The ad- ministration bill, providing for gov ernment control of railroads until eighteen months after the war, in cluding many short lines" and ap- propriating a revolving fund of s5OO,- 100000 for federal operation, was passed today by the senate without a roll call, and now awaits action in the house where it is under debate.
 Both senate and house worked through today's holiday to expedite the legislation. General debate was concluded in the house and arrange ments made to consider amendments tomorrow under a five-minute rule with a view to final action early next week.
 Neither on final passage nor on nu- merous roll calls today in the senate was there any record of sentiment on the bill as a whole. The agreement of the senate interstate commerce committee under which the compro- missed draft was brought in virtually precluded important revision. The only amendent radically changing the compromise draft provided for inclu- sion of "short line" railroads in fed eral control and benefits.
 ? Provisions of the committee com promise, fixing the compensation of railroads on three-year basis, pro- viding the $500,000,000 revolving fund appropriation. authorizing the presi- dent to initiate rates subject to in terstate commerce commission veto, and limiting government control to eighteen months after the war, were retained by the senate.
