Committee Considers
Railroad Legislation
Asked BY the President

Legislation asked by President Wilson
to perfect government control Of railroads
started on its way in Congress today.
under consideration by the interstate COM
merce committees Of both houses
The House committee arranged to begin
hearings at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Director General McAdoo or some one
designated by him will make the initial
explanation OF the measure to the COM
mittee.
A. P. Thorn. general counsel Of the
Southern railway, will handle the case
for the railroad executives. It was
stated today on behalf of the railroads
that they do not want to appear In the
position of being antagonistic to the
principles of the measure, but want to
furnish statistical and other informa-
tion for the use of Congress
The Senate committee met to hear
statements from prominent railroad
executives.
The committee intends to report on
the bill as quickly as possible to the
exclusion Of other business. Some mem
bers believe that moro definite pro-
visions for operating the roads are
needed at once.
Efforts to recess for the afternoon
important session Of the Senate failed
and the committee voted to sit daily
without more than the usual Interrupt
tions.
Amendments to the railroad bill to
eliminate the provision for govern
ment operation until Congress shall
otherwise direct were introduced today
by Senators Watson of Indiana and
Gal1inger of New Hampshire. The for.
:ner proposed that government opera
ton snail continue only for six
months after the proclamation of
peace by the President" and Senator
Gallinger to eliminate entirely the
change.

ZURICH. Switzerland. January T.
The great question of the hour is where
the threatened German offensive is to
take place on the west front. The first
reports said it would be in the Vosges
region, because that offered the best
of mountain artillery brought from the
Italian front. Then came the sugges-
tion that the verdun district was the
chosen place. because Emperor William
went to that part Of tho front, deco
rated Gen. Won Gallwitx and made
speeches to the soldiers. The use OF
heavy artillery in that region. continues
and suggests that the Germans are Al
least preparing to attack with big guns
and reinforcements to keep the main
French army busy at Verdun and thus
offensive.
The latest reports, which seem to be
based on excellent authority, are that Gen.
the Germans could reach that port it
would isolate England from France, cut
off the narrow passage between Calais
and Dover, where the submarines have
been unable to work and possibly force
the British feet into the open. An Of
fensive against England is also far more
popular than one against the French be-
cause the whole German war propaganda
has been based on bitterness against Eng
land while claiming to have sympathy for
France.
With Calais as his objective Gen
Ludendorff could strike anywhere be-
tween Neuport and Cambria. BY stimuli
taneous activity at Verdun he could
hold the French army where it would
be prevented from helping the British
and might even delay the American aid
which. it is assumed, would be extended
first to the French. Gen. Ludendor1
could thus hurl his own heavy reserves
from Italy and Russia against the Brit
ish.
In Germany the activity of the so.
cialists and especially OF the MaJi-
malists is causing worry to the militia ~
authorities, who ordered important ar
rests in Cologne. Leipzig and Karls-
