RECOMMENDS ROADS
 GET 5.32 Pc. PROFIT
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee Believes
 Allowance Fair.

Washington, Feb. 7. Chairman Smith of the senate interstate con- merce committee, in reporting favor ably to the senate today the admin istration railroad bill, estimated that under the measures provisions the government will guarantee annually to the railroads $945, GOO, 1000, which will represent q return of 5.32 per cent. This, he says, 'retlectS neither poverty nor riches' but the commit tee believes a majority of the rail- roads will accept "these terms as a just and fair measure of their consti- tutional rights
 An agreement on the bill was reached by the committee last Sat urday but minority reports are to be submitted by Senators Cummings and La Toilette. Administration lead- CTS plan to call the bill up for consid- eration next Monday.
 '"Your committee is of the opinion that this is the time for war emer- gency legislation and not the time to settle the many controversial and vexed questions concerning our future transportation policy" Chairman Smith says in prefacing his report He then takes up the compensation section and adds:
 About 75 great operating rail- roads do over 90 per cent of the rail- road business. The committee be- lieves most of these great carriers will accept these terms as a just and fair message of their constitutional rights.
 "There has, of course, been much discussion as to the fairness and jus tice of the proposed amount of the standard return. It is plainly in the public interest-and indeed a war need the rights of owners must be tested by present conditions-not by some theory or capitalization never made operative under federal or state law or generally followed by the courts
 He explained that in case of con- troversy over compensation the bill permits an appeal to the court of claims The committee recommends, the report says, that improvements made by the government while the carriers are under government con- troI should go to the railroads when l they are returned to the security hold l CTS. This should be arranged through l an agreement between the carriers and the president.

REP. GLASS MAKES
 STIRRING DEFENSE 0F ADMINISTRATION Denies Sen. Chamberlain'S Sweep ing Statement That War Ma-
 chine "HaS Fallen Down" REFERS TO GOOD HEALTH
 AT SPARTANBURG CAMP

in Three Months at South Carolina
 Freezing to Death in Trenches Came from Pen of LimeGght
 Worshipper.
 Washington, Feb. 7.-Representa- tive Glass, in a speech delivered in the house today, came to the defense of the administration, answered the charges contained in Senator Cham- berlains indictment of the War de- partment and denied that the Amer ican war machine ''has fallen down."
 MT. Glass said it was Gen. Joffre who suggested supplying American troops with ammunition from French factories since it would save the un- avoidable delays, the pressingly need ed cargo space, the tremendous cost of shipment"
 Regarding the machine gun con- troversy, MT. Glass asserted the Browning gun was selected because experts pronounce it "the best ma- chine gun in the world.'
 Regarding the health of soldiers in camp, he referred to the condi- tions at Spartanburg, $. C., where he said there were only four deaths among 31,000 men during a period of more than three months. He quoted Maj. Gen. O'Ryan as saying that the story of 20 men freezing in the trenches was the mere gibberinlg of a letter writing recruit desiring to pose among his people at home as 8 hero or martyr"
 Referring to the difficulties which the administration face he considered the success of the Selective draft as a remarkable achievement He said:
 Not until the third year of the war could Great Britain venture to apply partly a conscription law. Not until few months ago could Canada, in opposition to the threat of one of its largest provinces. It has not been done as to Ireland, and Aus tralias has twice declined to attempt the system. And yet this republic, With a clear realization of the situ- aton, instantly applied the demo- cratic method of selective draft and the country responded with unpar- ,aIleled support of patriotism. We nave sent nearly ten times as many troops abroad as the French and English military missions had ex- pected that we could do in the time required"

GERMAN ANSWER
CONTINUED from page one)

ate government and officials here look
to see this granted by Emperor Charles
in his desperate efforts to democratize
his dominion and save his throne.
All the conditions are expected to
have had their respective parts in in
fluencing the kaiser on his reply to
President Wilson.
The state department. has no official
information that the German note is on
the way. Department officials caution
ed that the favorable nature attributed
to the reply in some press reports is
most likely part of the German camo-
uflage propaganda No credence should
be given to these Characterization un-
til the arrival of the note itself.
Rumors of an internal crisis in Hun
gary were verified in entente diplomat
is cables received here today. 1t was
indicated that the resignation of Pre-
mier Wekerle offered Immediately fol
lowing conference with Emperor Char.
les will be accepted.
1t was suggested that the Hungarian
situation probably was responsible for
the sudden Austrian decision to announ-
ce the liberalization scheme for the ma,
tionalities Of the dual monarchy.
