basis for financing the national rail
roads.
He also asked information as to the
number of freight, coal and oil carry
ing cars in the repair shops December

congestion is in prospect as a result of
the order increasing the car demur-
rage rates. The new schedule, effect

main sidetra cked for two days free
and thereafter at rates of fifty to
hundred percent above the present.
1t held the requirements of war and
the health and comfort of the nation

WASHINGTCN Jan. America
will push her work without thought
tnat peace muT he nearing. Secretary
Baker and other war officials today
held that preparations must not lag.
They say peace now is up to Germany.
Lloyd George stated the allies terms.
These are Americas terms too. If
Germany wants to reform and accept
these terms, the way is open. But if
she wants to fight on the allies and
America are fully aware of and ready
for the bloody sacrifice involved, all
officials agree. They added it would
be little short of treason and foolhardi-
ness for America to slow up now
merely because of a growing convic-
tion that the allies and Teutons are
getting more nearly together through
the process of the unofficial state
ment of peace aims.
Peace Coming Quickly.
Authorities. including military men
believe peace is coming more rapidly
THAN is generally believed. One neu-
trail diplomat sized up the situation as
peace in three or four months or a
war of three of four years. If Aus
.tria heeds her peoples cry for peace
and the Russians definitely set them,
selves against Germany, SO she can't
get supplies. peace will be little short
of a reality, say experts. Russian Of
'ficials, however, are skeptical of any
permanent alignment between the al
lies and Russia. Her cry is peace
regardless of what party comes in
power They feel the Slavs will
stick TO the separate peace program
unless a general peace is maneuvered
in the meantime.
