Situation Adds to PerlIs Of BoIshevjsm
In Germany-AIl Factories
Idle.

Berlin, Dec. 13.-Thousands of wo.
men, facing starvation through the
less of their war jobs, are adding to
the perils of Bolshevism in Germany.
The women munitions workers who
are rapidly being demobil1zed are un-
able to find employment. as practi-
cally all factories are idle through
lack of raw materials. Added to their
ranks are other thousands who have
been engaged in similar occupations.
Some have obtained employment on
farms, but the great majority face q
serious situation.
The Spartacus group has seized the
opportunity to augment their ranks
with these women, hoping not only to
obtain their political support, but to
influence other men through them.
Twenty-one million are said to be
eligible to vote for representatives In
the National assembly. It was esti-
mated that there are more than 200,-
600 illeSftimate children in Germany
as result of war conditions.

Premier Clemenceau will, it is be-

President Wilson's disposition Is in
favor of entirely public proceedings,
such as are carried on in the Senate
chamber in Washington, with the
press representatives given every ia
cility to report certain business.
Naturally, there will be need Of Sc
crecy, as there is in the foreign rela-

idea is that the procedure could be
much the same as in Washington, a
committee considering the confidential
and delicate features Of various Ques-
tions and then reporting back to the
peace congress for action.

TRUCE TERMS REMAIN
Allies Deny Fresh DEMANDS Are
Being Made On Germany.
British Foreign Office Regards RerlJn
Protests as Merely Form OF
Propaganda.

London, Dec. PA new and false
charge is contained in another Ger
man protest-that fresh naval terms,
which go beyond the stipulations of
the armistice, have been imposed by
the Allies.
A Berlin telegram gives the sub
stance Of the demands of the ad-
miralty commission at Wilhe!mshaven
for carrying out the naval conditions
of the armistice, and states that pro-
test has been lodged against some of
these demands.
The Allies demand the return of all
interned vessels, and also those con-
demned by prize courts. The surren-
der of British and Belgian vessels is
to take place in the Tyne and Of
French vessels at Dunkirk. All these
vessels are to be sent in by Dec. II.
What is described by the message
as completely new demand Is the
Surrender of all German war ves-
sells, including submarines and river
steamers, both finished and under con-
struction, at present lying in German
naval ports.
The British admiralty, dealing with
this subject, say no fresh terms with
regard to the navy have been made
by the Allies. The details now pub
lished by the Germans are only those
which we're decided on by the Allied
council at the time of the armistice.
The British foreign Office says the
German effort should be regarded ~
a form of German propaganda.

Director General McAdoo Recon-
mends Retaining Railways
for Five More Years.
DATE IS JAM. |, 1924
Main Reasons Are to Take Question
Out Of Politics and Give Time for
Carrying Out Program Of
Improvement.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Director Cen
eral McAdoo has recommended to
Congress extension of the period OF
government control of railroads for
five years, until Jan. I, 1924. -
), Advantages of this, Mr.. McAdoo
said, are that it would take the rail-
road question out of~politics for the
present, give time for carrying out an
extensive program of improvement and
provide opportunity for fair test OF
unified control to indicate the per-
manent solution of the railroad prob
lem.
"The President has given me per-
mission to say that this conclusion &C.
cords with his own view Of the mat
ter" Mr.. McAdoo said.
The letter was addressed to Senator
Smith of South Carolina, and Repre-
sentative Sims, chairmen, respectively
of the Senate and House interstate
commerce committees.
Holds Private Control Hurtfui.
Mr.. McAdoo explained that to con-
tinue government operation for 21
months after formal declaration Of
peace under present conditions would
mean disruption Of morale among en-
ployes and officers and could not en-
able the government to 60 ahead with
improvements and purchase the equip
ment.
Another alternative, the prompt re"
turn of the railroads to private control,
without legislation to permit elimina"
tion of the old wasteful competition,
would be "hurtful alike to the public
interests and to the railroads them
Selves" he said, "and the difficulty
of obtaining immediate legislation pro-
viding permanent solution is appar'
ent. A-'-
Program Could Be Completed.
There is one, and to my mind only
one, practicable and wise alternative"
Mr.. McAdoo continued, f'and that is
to extend the period of federal control
from the one year and nine months
provided by the present law to five
years or until the first day of January,
1924. - -.a.-. --'~~ >~.' NJ. Z
This extension would take the rail-
road question out OF politics for rea-
sonable period. It would give COM
posure to railroad officers and en-
ployes.
1T would admit of the preparation
and carrying out of a comprehensive
program of improvements of the rail-
roads and their terminal facilities
which would immensely increase the
efficiency of the transportation ma
chine.
1T would put back Of the railroads
the credit of the United States in the
i've year period so that the financing
Of these improvements could be sue
cessfully carried out.
Time for Permanent Solution.
1T would offer the necessary oppor-
tunity under proper conditions to test
the value of unified control and the ex-
perience thus gained would of itself
indicate the permanent solution of the
railroad. problem. ~
"The American people have right
to this test. They should not be de-
MED it. It is to their interest it
should be done. In my opinion it is
the only practicable and reasonable
method of determining the right solu-
ton of this grave economic question"
