Only F;ue of the
Wilson Proposals
Doubted if Kaiser Will Dare
to Refuse the Challenge of
Allies to State His War
Aims.
BY CARL d. GROAT.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Germany will
not agree now to more than the first
four or five Of President Wilson's II
peace terms.
Authorities were convinced of this
today in the light of preliminary Teu-
ton press comment on his speech t.
congress But they doubted that Ger
many would dare to ignore the worlds 4
challenge to state her aims.
Officials gathered real hope from the
Russian problem, however, in the light
Of United Press reports of Trotzkys
declaration that Russia will fight on
rather than accept an imperialistic
peace. While Russian war prepare
tions are not regarded as sufficient to
make a marked military effect, they
could have the vital effect of stop
ping Germany from converting Rus
sia into supply house.
STlFFEN ALLIED MORALE.
This. with collapse of the separate
peace movement, would stiffen allied
morale and put the German diplomats
in a serious predicament with people
at home.
Failure to accept the terms at once
would be completely in line with ad-
vance predictions OF Germany's course.
Officials have felt that she must and

and trying to appear to meet TIL, 9TH

on them.
However, the war department is pro-
ceeding on the theory that Germany
proposes to carry on a spring and sum-
mer offensive in the hope of reinforc-
ing her political position by important
gains on the west front. Military ex-
perts. however believe that, while for
a time she may progress there, the
British and French tenacity will pre-
vent any gains from becoming a
major victory.
STILL SENDING TROOPS.
While awaiting diplomatic develop
ments, the army and navy are coop
Grating in Fastening troop transport as
fully as possible, although there is
some prospect that Europes need for
food will divert some troop transports
for supply purposes for while. Cen
eral officers, however, insist that
troops will continue to go just as fast
as bottoms can be provided!

judgment, to create false impression

FIGHT in SENATE
ON PRICE TO BE
PAID RAILROADS
Advocates of Federal Own
ership Claim the Basis
Proposed by the Director
General Favors Roads.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Government
ownership advocates in the senate are
determined to reduce income guar
antees provided for the railroads in the
federal control legislation Director
General McAdoo has proposed.
The proposal to pay the lines a
compensation based on net railway
operating incomes the past three years
would mean about s950,000,O0O an
nually. Senator Cummins, ranking
Republican of the senate interstate
commerce committee, believes this to
be too much .by s2O,OO0,000.
Il am opposed to the people guar
anteeing the railroads any surplus
which shall be added to the property
and the people forced to pay income
on it," he declared
TO OFFER AMENDMENT.
of certain other members, it now seems
likely that amendment will be made in
committee or else the fight for changes
will go to the senate floor.
Cummins proposes that the govern
ment guarantee railroads the interest
on their bonded debt and the dividends
according to the three year average
He is unwilling to leave entirely in the
director generals hands the right to
fix passenger and freight rates and
would have provision inserted where
by the rate fixing power would re-
main in the interstate commerce com
mission.
Some roads would receive no guar
antees as the bill now stands. but
under proposed alterations, the roads
would be graded according to their
prosperity and the president would be-
empowered to pay at least the inter-
est on the debt of weak roads.
PLANS FOR OWNERSHIP.
Still another point upon which de-
finition is sought is: How long shall
government operation continue? The
president wants the government to
turn back the lines when peace Is de-
clared or very soon thereafter. The
bill provides for government operation
until congress acts, but Senator Cum
mings Is after o plan whereby govern
ment ownership would result ulti-
mately
The three year basis of compensa-
tion as embodied in the railroad bill
was defended as 'the fairest and most
just plan by G. w. Anderson, mem
ber of the interstate commerce COM
mission before the senate interstate
commerce committee.
