WRITES OF PEACE
CELEBRATIONS
IN PARIS
American Expeditionary Force.

american Expeditionary Force,
November 10, 1918.
My Dear Mr., Hetherington:
Have little spare time this morn.
ing and am somewhat WONDERING
what is going on in good old Lake
land. This is raw fall morning here
with fog and dampness enough tc
make a man think of his Santa. The
weather since the 18th has been quite
tolerable; although cool at night 1t
has been clear and enough warm sun
shine to call real life to the surface
once a day.
There has been celebrating here of
the French kind and everyone takes
part and tries to Guido the other fe!.
low in heaving real fun. Such a thing
as orderly and well arranged parades
are impossible for all the spectators
join in, and last Sunday in Paris saw
q don't know how many thousands
packed so no one could move; still no
one was hurt, which was the greatest
wonder to me. The lid was of (off-
cially, tool and the individual could
do as he or she pleased and still there
was no disorder, the only accident I
saw was disabled truck and a U. s.
Amy car in the gutter in helpless con-
dition; they however damaged only
themselves.
But, oh! how the people carried on;
1t was marvellous; taxi tried in van
to pass and If he footed his horn too
long, crowd would form around hir,
and he had to smile. Also II a fair
damsel captured a soldier and pro
ceeded to hug and kiss him in the
middle of the street the crowd would
dance around in a ring. One lucky
fellow who spent the 18th in Paris
went around with sore cheeks for a
week after so many had kissed him.
The captured German guns were
pulled all over the city and formed
prcessions all their own The Plasa

TELLS Of RAILROAD STATUS
McADoo GOES BEFORE sENA-
ToRlAL COMMITTEE.
Admits That Freight Congestion Has
Shown Little Improvement
in Last Month.

Washington. - Director General Of
Railroads McAdoo admitted before
the senate interstate commerce com
mittee that he had been unable thus
far to do much toward Strengthening
out the freight tangle on the country'9
rail lines.
He blamed the slow progress on the
unusual weather, which affected even
southern railroads not usually trou-
bled by cold weather. Not only did
successive billiards. clog the rail
lines, but they froze harbors, making
it impossible for ships to approach
docks for loading and thus adding to
congestion in terminals, McAdoo said.
He gave the first authoritative an
nouneement concerning the govern
ment's policy with respect to the
country's baby roads" when he said
they will not be taken over unless it
is necessary. The losses they will suf
fer, he said, they must bear as part of
the general sacrifice for the sake of
victory.
Somebody has to make sacrifices
besides the man who lays down his
life in battle" said McAdoo. I'VE
want all the roads to have a square
deal and we will help all we can, but
We are not going to add to the treas
ury's burdens merely to keep people
from losing money"

NO NEW CABINET FOR WAR
UNlFlCATIoN PLANS LIKELY TIC
BE sIDETRAckED.
New Laws Would Be ineffective If
Wilson Opposed Bureaus Which
They Create.

Washington, D. C.-Congress has
been in session little more than a
month and in that interval has be-
come convinced there is something
radically wrong with the management
of the war. Its judgment is based
partly on hearsay partly on the ex-
animation of officials by investigating
committees and partly on the contact
senators and representatives them
selves have had with the cumbersome
and inelastic war bureaus of the gov
eminent.
Believing that there must be a
change of some kind, committees. Of
of congress are busp on bills for a
ministry of munitions and new war
council and a general reorganization
of the executive power
II this trend of events signified a
lack of confidence in President Will
son, 1t might be said that we were
on the threshold of great crisis.
LUZ 10 AJ AuA Oh CLAblIAS11i VI
Mr.. Wilson, only feeling that he has
too much to do and that some of the
people to whom he has delegated
power are incompetent.
Congress, and by that, one means
nowadays both the Democrats and
Republicans. seems to think many ap-
pointees of the president have not
proved up to expectations and they
want change, but judging from pre-
vious experience on such matters, con-
gress is going at it the wrong way
1t never will help Mr.. Wilson by Civ
ing him war council not of his
own choosing or not of his own Xix
ing.
President Wilson has served notice
on Democratic leaders in the senate
that he will use all his influence and
power to beat the bill to create a war
council.

AGAINST RAILWAY OWNERSHIP
McAdoo Asks Congress for Billion
Dollars But Does Not Seek
Control.

Washington. billion dollars must
be advanced to the railroads for i'm
provements before they will be on an
effective war basis, Director General
McAdoo announced before the senate
interstate commerce committee.
At the same time McAdoo came out
definitely against government owner
ship of the roads.
McAdoo said his survey of the rail
situation has convinced him govern
ment funds must go into the roads to
help them expand.
He forecast the continuation of gov
eminent control for some time when
he said congress should not limit gov
eminent control to any definite period.
If government control is limited to
the duration OF the war or for a fixed
time afterwards. McAdoo may make
it impossible to meet the situation
that may arise.

SWAP PRISONERS. BY WEIGHT
France Suggests Plan Whereby It is
Hoped to Force Better Treat
ment for captiVes.

Paris.-The proposed exchange of
prisoners between France and Ger
many brought out a suggestion from
an army officer who has had charge
Of prison camps.
"You know" he said, I'VE feed our
prisoners well. and they are strong
and hearty. The German, on the other
hand, is pinching our fellows pretty
badly. Most of the nourishment they
get is sent them from France. The
only fair way is to exchange these
prisoners by weight--so many hun
dred pounds of Germans for the same
weight in Frenchmen."
