There can be no peace with
honor or safety to ourselves
or to postenty, except a just
peace, and there can and will
be no other peace. Work for
peace acGomplishes nothing
but the hampering of our ef-
fort, the delay of the real
peace, and a greater toll of
death of Americas fighting
men. Our duty is to war for
a just and righteous peace.
To work or speak for any
other peace is aid and COM

The demand for workers in

4 memorandum made public by the
war department concerning the use Of
armed guards about Industrial plants
contains the following:
1.-The soldier in training who has of
fered his life for the defanse Of coun-
try should not sacrifice his effective,
ness by performing police duty in the
protection Of property back Of the
lines. This Is the duty Of the citizen
ut home.
1.-The theater for operations for
armed soldiers Is the battlefield Of
Europe. Each civilian should aid his
country by acting as guard for the
detection and prevention Of intrigue,
deceit, and all the familiar steaIthy op-
erations of the enemy, in our midst.
Each soldier unnecessarily detailed as
a guard in this country aids and abets
the enemy In Europe.
"Often guard may be needed for
the safety of a factory. When II Is,
it should be supplied by the owner Of
the factory. by the municipality, or by
the state.
''These> measures apply not only to
manufacturing plants, but are equally
applicable to shipyards. grain eleva-
tors. and stores of supplies"

Washington. D. C., Jan. 23.-Direc-
tor general Of railroads BlsAdoo to-
day continued giving testimony re-
garding the railroads to the senate
committee considering railroad legis-
lation.
Mr.. McAdoo thought federal con-
troll would not affect the states
rights to tax the roads. He did not
believe an increase in passenger fares
to discourage travel was necessary,
but if freight congestion became so
acute as TO demand passenger equip
ment, he said. he would not hesitate
materially to increase passenger
rates.
McAdoo reiterated his belief that
the president has power to fix inter-
state rates. but he believed the state
commissions should continue their
supervision over interstate rates
The railroad administration, he
said. will decide just what lines are
needed by the government, and those
not needed will be advised to continue
their operation in the same manner as
before federal control began
