Mr.. Lloyd George, who was speaking
at Bristol. said that CONSUMPTION was
introduced in Great Britin to meet a
great emergency and that when the
emergency was passed the need which
caused the passing of the act would
lapse and there was no immediate In
tention to renew it.
Whether some kind of CONSUMPTION
would be required in the future, he
added, would depend entirely upon the
peace terms.
There is absolutely no doubt, the
premier added, thatthe former German
emperor has committed a crime against
national right, and there is absolutely

WILSON ASKS RAIL
CONTROL s YEARS
Director General MCAdoo Urges
Fair Trial.
NEEDS TIME FOR SOLUTION
Asks Congress for Authority to Thor
oughly Test Unified Railroad OPP
Grafton Under Proper Provisions
of Law--Approved by
President.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Extension of
the time of federal control over rail-
roads to five years or very early re
turn of the properties to their owners
was declared necessary by Director
General of Railroads McAdoo.
In letter to the chairmen Of the
two interstate commerce committees
of congress, Mr.. McAdoo pointed out
that there are only three possible
courses to follow at the present time
with respect to the railroads. asserting
that 1t is manifestly impossible to
frame any comprehensive railroad leg
islation at this session of congress.
Names Three Plans.
The first course, he said, is to OPP
crate the roads for the 81 months fol-
lowing declaration of peace, which, he
estimated would not be more than two
years and three months.
The next course is the prompt return
of the roads to their owners.
The last is an extension of the pc
Rod of federal control to five years.
The first course is rapidly becoming
impractieable, he says. The whole
personnel of the roads is becoming I'M
settled by the proposed change of con-
troll.
He therefore reduces the situation
to a choice between return of the
roads promptly to private control with
all, existing legal difficulties, or an ex-
tension of time promptly granted
The issue is made clear that unless
congress grants the extension promptly
the roads will be returned to their
owners without awaiting the lapse of
the q months.
Take Roads Out of Politics.
Mr.. McAdoo strongly urges upon con-
gress that the extension be ordered so
that a test of unified railroad opera
ton under proper provisions of law"
may be had.
This course, he says, VIII take the
railroad question out Of politics.
President Wilson, Mr.. McAdoo says.
has given him permission to say that
he is In accord with this view.
''In my opinion" he says, sit is the
only practicable and reasonable meth
cd of determining the right solution of
this grave economic problem"

ALLIES DEMANDS
TO CLINGY PEACE
Left Bank of Rhine to Be Held by
France.
WAR BILL is STAGGERING
Estimated That Germany VIII Be
Compelled to Pay at Least $780,
000,0oO,0O0 to Victors-other
Severe Penalties Considered.

Paris, Dec. 12-France intends to
demand at the peace conference:
/. The permanent Incorporation,
without plebiseite, of Alsace and Lor-
raine, with the frontiers as they exist
ed in 1914, before the Vienna congress
trimmed down the French borders af-
ter Napoleon's fall.
q France proposes military occupa-
ton Of the left bank Of the Rhine until
Germany has paid the war damages.
which is expected to take her a con-
siderable period of time.
3. France will ask permanent milf
tary guarantees against Germany using
the left bank of the Rhine for concen-
tration of troops against France.
War Bill Enormous.
1t is estimated that the allied war
bill will reach S120,000000.0O0.
Many Frenchmen. indeed, regard the
Rhine as the real frontier against
Germany along the rivers entire
length, but there is little public sem
tlment for permanent annexation Of
the Palatinate, though 1t has been a
French national dream for many cen
turtles.
The creation of neutral buffer"
state has been discussed, but 1t is
understood this plan has been prac-
tically abandoned, since Belgium de-
sires the incorporation of the Wal
loon districts and possibly Luxem-
burg, with the view to forming a
continuous barrier against Germany.
To Safeguard Paris.
There is growing sentiment
France for the idea of stipulating at
the peace conference that no German
soldier ever be allowed to cross the
Rhine again In uniform and arms.
Thus. it is believed, Paris would be
permanently safeguarded against Ger
man attacks.
The feeling appears to be that un.
I'll Germany gives permanent proof
that she has undergone change Of
heart, military guarantees against
German aggression are absolutely nee
essary.
