Nation in Good Condition,
Says Big Financier

Chicago, Dec. 2t.-It is refreshing
to get a Nsord OF confidence from
leader in financial affairs who ham
dies such affairs I'm q big way and
who is free from the vice of predict
ing good times with the idea that
the forecasts will bring good times.
Such a man commented to-day on
the pessimism Of ceriain individuals
who are looking for serious disturb
ance right away. He sees no reason
for expecting anything OF the sort.
and asserts that the country Is in
good condition.
Nor does he ignore the grave prob
lens which confront our people. He
says that our future will shape it
self largely on the lines on which the
railroad problem is worked out. This
is reasonable view, considering the
enormous capital involved in that
interest and its essential part in our
economies.
He disapproves of the suggestion
made by Director General McAdoo
that the Federal control of the .rail-
roads be extended to five years. The
present is the time, he believes, to
act on the railroad question, for we
are now in the habit of handling
great financial affairs, whereas, If the
decision were put Off, we should fall
into a condition of Indifferent wait
ing. The idea of a commission to
investigate the subject commends it.

trying to do too much at once"
Such propositions. he said, were the
five points enumerated.
Unnecessary Program
In his discussion of the freedom
of the seas. the Senator called atten-
ton to the strange development"
in connection with the pending naval
appropriation bill. the advocacy by
Rear Admiral Badger of a program
calling for a navy as laage as that
of England by 1925. Ne said he
thought he had favored building
more ships than anybody else, but
that he had never contemplated such
a program and did not think it nee
essary.
The only naval danger that we
were obliged to consider in the past
on the Atlantic coast has ceased to
be. We need q powerful fleet in the
Pacific. and I feel sure we will have
a navy sufficient TO furnish that fleet
to the western coast. And yet at thi..
moment We are suddenly called upon
20 build a fleet c'nich shall be tho
equal to that Of England"
Wants nCh;litc Plan
or suggestions that O great navy

ton with the league of nations, the
Senator said he would mot stop to
ask who is to order that navy about
the world"
Mr.. Lodge said he would be glad
If the Senate debates on peace were
supplemented by some definite reso-
lutions expressing views on important
points. He continued:
Whether the Senate will take such
action-although I know that we
have very definite opinions-I cannot
tell. because there seems to be a
feeling among some Senators that It
is an act of intolerable audacity for
the Senate even to suggest to the
Executive that it has opinions which
ought to considered. Personally /
do not share that view. :"

Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-Can-
celation OF all -four milling regula-
tlons, including fair price schedules
and the price and quantity restric-
tions on the sale of wheat -four by
millers formally was announced late
yesterday by the Food Administra-
tion.
Notification of the action was tele-
graphed. to all zone agents of the
Food ADMINISTRATORS grain corpor-
alton, and there has been sharp
rise in the price of wheat bran and
other mill feeds on the Minneapolis
market. officials expect this to be
followed by a drop in -four prices.
Regulations restricting margins of
profit on -four and mill feeds remain
in effect, as do general regulations
of the Food Administration prohibit
ing profiteering. boarding and unfair
practices. Officials said these would
be strictly enforced.
The prediction of cheaper -four to
the consumer. 1t was asserted at the
Food Administration headquarters, is
based on the immediate rise in the
price of mill feeds, amounting to sew
eral dollars a ton.

Marysville Soldier Sends
Relics From Battlefield

MarysvilIc, Pa, Dec. 21.-Just as
a little token of the utter disregard
the Germans had of religious build
ings in their mad onrush against and
retreat from the Allies, Ray Camp
bell, formerly of Marysville, sends q
hand broken from q cruciflx in a
French cathedral to his brother,
Lawrence Campbell, of Myrtle ave-
nue.. Ray Campbell is serving with
the Thirteenth Engineers. The hand
was picked up by Campbell at Suidi-
court on September 16.
Another interesting relic sent
home by Campbell is German dress
helmet of black leather and gold
dipped ornaments. The coat-of f-arms
on this helmet bears the inscription,
INIT Gott fur Koenig und Water
land" and a replica of the German
Iron Cross. Campbell, who several
times was under shellhre, is now To-
Gated at Verdun.

ago to become an Assistant District

ty. it was thought that the vacancy
would be filed by appointment upon
recommendation of Congressman
Lesher. Nothing was done, however,
and Lesher became a candidate and
was reelected. Now comes the an
nouncement that under Presidential
order of March II, last this vacancy
must be filed under a special ex-
animation. A dozen or more politi-
clans were said to be currying Lesh-
er's favor for the place.

stop toward peace is to mako q peace
with Germany. II the peace with
Germany ID to be durable, terms
must be exacted which will make 1t,
so far as human foresight goes. i'm
possible for Germany to break out
again upon the world with war of
conquest. This cannot be done by
treaty engagements and signatures
to documents. At this Juncture OF
affairs. Germany would sign any
thing. and her pledge would be as
worthless as the guarantees she gave
to Belgium. 1t is we'll also to re-
member that Germany did not
change it's nature overnight when
the Kaiser ran away to Holland. The
deep-rooted ambitions. the evil prin-
ciples carefully instilled for half a
century, the barbarous methods and
doctrines-all remain unaltered. |
do not need to rehearse what those
physical guarantees should be, for l
have stated my views upon them
more than once to the Senate, and I
think there is general agreement
upon them not only in the Senate
but among the American people.
These physical guarantees all have
Germany in that she cannot attempt
conquest in Russia or in the East.
and that the Slavic populations
, which she has mereilessly used in
her wars can never be used by her
again.
Indemnltics Demanded
In addition there must be heavy
indemnities paid by Germany. In
those indemnities, the United States
must have its proportional share,
not only direct indemnity for its
ships destroyed by submarines and
its people murdered on the Lusitania
and other vessels, but a suitable res
titution, in part at least, of the vast
expenses forced upon us by Ger
many.
1T will be for the peace confer
ence to determine what disposition
should be made of the German colo
nies, but one thing essential. and
that Is that they should not be re-
turned to the tyrannical misgovern-
ment of Germany and that she
should not be deprived OF those
means for extending her commerce
and building up military outposts in
all parts of the world.
League Is Denounced
TT is the duty Of the Allies and
the United States to meet and de-
termine what terms they will impose
upon Germany and then and not
until then. call in the representatives
of Germany and impose the terms
upon them"
OF the League of Nations pro-
posal, Senator Lodge said no definite
plan has yet been put forth that
would not cause indefinite contro-
versy.
THE attempt to form now
League of Nations-and l mean an
effective league. with power to en-
force its decrees," he said, "can tend
only to embarrass the peace that We
ought to make at once with Ger
many. If 1t were successful and
were to come before the Senate, it
might endanger the peace treaty and
force amendments.
Sea Problem Not Urgent
Are we prepared to allow any
association of nations by n majority
vote to order the troops and ships
of the United States to go to war?
Unless we are prepared to do so, we
are not prepared to join a league of
nations which is going to enforce
peace"
In urging postponement of the
question of freedom of the seas, Sem
ator Lodge said it was another un-
defined question, and declared that
both America and England would
