SAYS j. SILL BOSS
ROADS AFTER WAR

Railroads after the war will be
operated under entire Government
management and control or private
management with Government su-
pervision OF financing and elimina-
tion OF competitive waste
This is the prediction OF by Win
throp N. Daniels, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, in
an address before the annual meet
ing of the National Association OF
Railway and Utility Commissioners
He also expressed the doubt that
Government management without
Government ownership could be con-
tinued satisfactorily in peace times.
During the later sessions this
week the association, representing
railway and utility commissioners
from most States. will consider par
ticularly questions of the exercise OF
their normal functions under Gov
ernment management of railroads
after peace is normally restored.

SENATE WORKING ON.
BILLS FOR FEDERAL
RAILROAD CONTROL

The movement for Government
ownership of the railroads is rapidly
advancing in Congress. and the COM
ing session will see number of bills
presented in both houses looking tc
that end. In fact, one or more bills
may be presented before the present
session closes.
It is certain the cause of Govern
ment ownership will have great
strength, although. on the other hand.
there will be much demand for res
toration OF the roads to their owners
Senator Norris of Nebraska, who
has just been reelected to the Senate
by an unprecedented vote in his State.
said today he would present a bill
for the Government ownership Of the
roads on which he has long been
working. He expects to offer the bill
at the short session.
Senator Cummins, who will be
chairman OF the Interstate Commerce
Committee OF the Senate after March
1, is also working on a Government
ownership bill.
the roads taken over by a great pub
lie corporation, and managed much
after the manner Of the Federal re-
serve system.
Senator Cummins' bill will provide
for Government ownership, but for
operation by leasing the lines to pri-
vate operating companies regulated
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Senator Cummins would like to
have some lines operated by the Gov
ernment direct, in order to give Gov
ernment operation a more thorough
trial. He is convinced the present
railroad administration has fallen far
short, and that politics has been al
lowed to enter.
1t is significant that both Senators
Norris and Cummins are in close
touch with the sentiment of farmers
and shippers throughout the interior
Both believe continuance OF private
ownership unlikely, and that the
country wants public ownership.

DISTANCE AGAINST
PEACE TABLE HERE

It is impossible for anyone to tell
where or when the big peace confer
ence will be held, or just how long
1t will last.
Such is the opinion OF Edward A
Marshall, head OF the Marshall Syn
dicate, and one OF the best informed
newspaper men in the world today.
Mr.. Marshall was in Washington to-
day interviewing men Of international
note. and left this afternoon for New
York.
There are many persons In Eu-
rope" continued Mr.. Marshall, "who
believe that the conference should be
held in Washington, but believe 1t
practically would be impossible to
hold II here without too much delay.
The conference, for instance.
might be held in the nature OF a
court, and all the accumulated evil
dence of atrocities in Belgium and
France would have to be transported
to this country The files on such
matters are huge documents and
transportation here would entail
great delay"
Speaking of the spirit OF the
French and English he said that the
people of both nations consider
themselves in great debt to this coun-
try, and that both believe they can
never fully repay America for saw
ing them from what would have been
ultimate failure in the war.
Mr.. Marshall had been a leading
newspaper man in this country and
Europe even before he made a notable
success in the Cuban campaign He
lost a leg at the battle OF San Juan
hill. in his effort to send to the United
States first-hand news from the front.

the United States and giving the
names of the delegates selected, is
promised.
Various names are under consid-
GRAFTON for appointment. None will
be selected until It is known just
how many delegates the United
States will have. Henry Morgen-
thau, former ambassador to Turkey
s.nd Justice Louis Brandeis OF the
Supreme Court have been urged on
the President to sit as his represe1
tatives to deal with the complex
Turkish and Balkan situation. Both
have made a complete study Of the
sitution there. Republican leaders
are urging the claims of Former
President william Howard Taft and
Charles z. Hughes.
Il has been suggested that the Presi-
dent, himself. attend the conference.

his presence is necessary to secure a
real agreement on the Congress OF
Nations feature OF the peace plans

The newly named ambassador to
Great Britain. John William Davis,
who has been the representative Of
the United States at the war prisoner
conference in Switzerland. is being
urged for appointment. So is Am
bassador Sharp, Henry Ford, Edward
n. Hurley, OF the Shipping Board. and
the claims OF William Jennings Bryan
are being urged in prohibition quar-
ters.
1t was officially stated today that
the President would not indicate his
selections untf his list is complete.
He will confer with the men he de-
sires to send and secure their consent
before any announcement is made.
The work of assembling German
naval vessels in a port to be desig-
mated by the allies will start soon.
As finally amended, the armistice
requires Germany TO surrender all
her submarines, including the big
submarine cruisers and mine layers
1t is understood that this will mean
that Germany gives up about 200 u
boats, instead of 160 required in the
original form.
The amended armistice, made pub
lie by the State Department last
night, changed details of time and
numbers, but did not alter the gen.
eral broad principles. 1t is shown
that 10000 instead OF $4,000 cars
must be surrendered in evacuated
territory; the Germans must give up
25.OO0 instead Of 10000 machine guns:
German East African troops must
evacuate, not surrender; German

other conditions are altered slight
ly and some allowance is made for
the rationing of Germany in con-
nection with the allied commander
ing of railroads.
Reduction is made in the amount
OF certain military equipment to be
delivered by the Germans to the as
sociated governments, including 25,OOO
instead OF 10000 machine guns and
LOO airplanes instead of 1000.
Another amendment specifies that
"the countries on the left bank OF
the Rhine evacuated by the Germans
shall be administered by the local
troops of occupation" instead of by
the military authorities under the
control of armies of occupation.
To assure the execution OF the ar
mistice convention under the best
conditions" the principle of a per-
manent international armistice COM
mission is admitted. This commits
sion will "act under the authority of
the allied military and naval COM
manders-in-chief."
PARIS, Nov. 13.-The location OF
the peace conference is to be decided
by the inter-allied council at Yer
sailIes.
The council has been called to meet
to discuss the preliminaries to the
selection Of a site, it was stated to-
day.
A series OF informal conferences
were begun yesterday, but 1t will
probably be several days before there
are any decisive Developments.
Versailles is being generally sug
gested as the logical place for the
seat of the peace conference.
At a ministerial council on Tuesday,
agricultural and Industrial problems
developing out OF peace were consid-
cred. Brief attention was given, also.
to the military and diplomatic situa-
tions.
On Thursday afternoon questions
relating to Alsace and Lorraine will
be taken up.
The celebration OF the end OF war
was resumed here yesterday, but the
police kept the crowds moving.
The French flag which had foated
over the citadel OF Strassburg until 1t
was carried away by a cannon ball in
the last days of the war in 1870 will
be tremendously replaced.
