emotions said he 1T is with no
ordinary sympathy that the United

people Of France. When the United
States entered thu war, not only were
we most convinced that the purpose of
the central powers was wrong and a
barrier to liberty everywhere, but their
methods of warfare shocked our hearts
as much as they affected our princi-
pies"

PRESIDENT GIVES
 PLAN ID CONGRESS
Wilson Recommends Compensation Rate of Income for Stockholders
 Based on Past Three Years.
Associated Press Dispatch.


 Washington, Jan. 1.-The presi- dent today laid before congress re- commendations for carrying out
 government operation of railroads. In his address before joint session he recommended that congress pro- vide compensation rate of the same net operating income of the roads as received for the three pre- ceeding fiscal years. He urged pas sage of legislation for proper main
 tainance of roads, insuring return to owners in the same order as when the government takes them over. Legislation to this effect was con- tained in administration bills which were introduced with plans for prompt consideration by both houses. The president told congress that on- ly by government operation could unity necessary in the country be ob- tained and said existing organiza- tions of roads would be disturbed as little as possible.
