RAILWAY PROBE SOON
Joint Committee May Be Created
by Congress.
In His Address to Senate and House
President Wilson Advocated
This Plan.

Washington, Dec 4.--Creation of a
joint congressional committee, consist
ing of members of both houses, to in
quire into the railroad situation, soon
will be sought, 1t was said, after
President Wilson had advocated this
plan in his address before Congress.
This committee would call railway
executives, labor leaders, financial rep
resentatives. officials of the Railroad
administration and members of the In
terstate Commerce commission to give
their views as to the best policies for
future management of the rail lines.
The committee then would attempt
TO formulate plan for some sort of
unified control and common manage
ment which most students of railroad
matters are said to advocate, regard
less of whether the government retains
or relinquishes it's present control.
The need for haste in this program
was explained by the President and
emphasized later by Railroad admin
istration officials who admitted they
anticipate difficulty in carrying out
plans for acquiring new equipment,
distributing it among the roads and
making extensive improvements con-
templated for next year without
stretching the governments war pow
ers beyond the point where railroad
companies are willing to cooperate.

HELD 844,U 600 PRISONERS
Total Number In Germany's Hands
When Fiuhtino Ceased.

Paris, Dec. 4.-One by one the SOM
ber habits of war are being aban-
doned. Following the armistice the
blue shades were removed from street
lamps and more light was given every
where. Now it is announced that it
will be good form for men to appear
at formal dinners and theaters in
evening clothes and women decollete,
but until the signing of peace officers
should wear undress uniforms.
1t has just been made known in the
chamber of deputies that the total
number Of Allied prisoners held by
Germany is $4,000, of which 484,000
are French. When the armistice was
signed the Germans held 2,542 Ameri-
cans, and the Americans held $4,000
German prisoners.

Congress Receives Estimates OF
$1,922,OOO, 900 for the
Fiscal Year 1920.
HUGE NAVAL FIGURES
Secretary Daniels Desires Steady and
Rapid Increase of the Fleet and
Also Renews His Request for
Emergency Fund Item.

Washington, Dec. AIN estimates
submitted to Congress for the fiscal
year 1920, beginning next July 1. a
regular army of approximately 100000
men is provided for specifically.
Detailed items on the pay of the
army show that in the total of $1,922,-
100000 asked for exclusive of the for
titication estimates, provision is made
for the payment OF only 21,250 officers
and 3S2,667 men of the line and ap-
proximately 10000 non-combatant
troops with the requisite staff officers.
Five Items Tell Story.
The inclusion in the estimates, how
ever, of five items of pay with nom-
inal appropriation of 500 each asked,
shows that the whole question of the
strength of the army after the conclu-
sion of peace has been deferred and
that supplemental estimates are to be
expected under these headings when 1t
is possible to present a completed prof.
ect
The items thus held in suspension
are those providing for the pay of re-
serve and national guard officers and
men.
The naval estimates are framed on
an exactly opposite theory. Every pro-
vision is made for a steady and rapid
increase of the fleet, total of approx
mately $434 100000 being asked. OF
that sum $500 .000,000 Is the first in
crement of the proposed new three
year build ng program, providing for
10 additional dreadnaughts, six battle
cruisers and lao other fighting craft.
The remainder of the $434, 900
would go to complete ships of the first
three-year program.
Renews Emergency Item.
Secretary Daniels has renewed also
the naval emergency fund item under
which Congress appropriated 100000
600 last year to provide for the con-
struction of additional destroyers, sub
marine chasers and other special craft
and to expedite construction work.
This year, however, the department
asks for 100000.
The total appropriation for the navy
is estimated at $2,644, ,000,000 an in.
crease of approximately billion dol
lars over appropriations made for the
current year The pay of the navy
item stands at s579,946,000 against
s227,372,946 this year. Similarly,
$155, ,2S6, 900 is asked for the marine
corps against $143,339,000 this year.
Just what reductions In naval esti-
mates were made following the sign
ing of the armistice with Germany,
which ended hostilities, Is not dis
I closed.

New York Greets Advance Guard
of Victorious American
Army From France.
LINER STEAMS UP BAY
Troopship Mauretania Passes Between
Lines of Hass0f Boats With Amer
lean and Allied Flags Flying
and Whistles Blowing.

New York, Dec. 4.-This port, the
embarkation point of many hundred
thousands of American soldiers bound
for war, heard the first cheers of re-
turning men of the victorious army
more than 1000 of them, from almost
every state in the Union, who joined
in shout that carried across the wa
ter and into the streets of downtown
Manhattan, when their transport Maui
retania passed the Statue of Liberty.
With Mayor Hylan and an official
reception committee, accompanied by
the police band, aboard, the soldier
freighted liner steamed up the bay be-
tween lines of harbor craft with flags
of America and the Allies flying and
with whistles shrieking welcome.
Battery park and piers on the Man
thronged with flag-waving, cheering
multitudes as the Mauretania moved
up to her pier.
No Cheers for Wounded.
At the same time, without cheers, or
an official welcome of any sort, 1000
wounded soldiers returned by way Of
hospitals in France from the trenches,
where they gEipped with the foe and
helped to- crush him, were being
moved ashoge from the troop ship
Northern 'Paciae at Hoboken. They
were hurried to hospitals in Hoboken,
Jersey City and Staten Island.
To safeguard the public against
possible infectious diseases the troops
from both transpQfts were isolated as
they came aslREEA
Both the well and the wounded will
be denied close contact with relatives
or friends until after they have un-
dergone medical examinations. The
units from the Mauretania, all from
training fields in England, will be
mustered out at Camp Mills.
Families of the wounded will be
notified within few days of their
whereabouts and permitted to see
them.
Glad to BE Home.
Thankfulness of getting home was
the prevailing spirit among the
wounded troops. Many bore more
than one wound, but few would talk
of the incidents of battle.
At the pier military discipline sue
ceeded the freedom that had brought
officers and men side by side to the
rails for the first view of Little Old
| New York"
Units were quickly formed and after
refreshments had been served the con
tingents marched aboard ferry boats
which conveyed them to Long Island
trains.

sued as Obtained.

Washington. Dec. 4-Secretary N.
d. Baker, appearing before the senate
military committee to explain the de-
lay in completing the publication OF
American casualties, said he thought

why only something over 100000
names have been published when it
has been officially announced that the
casualties number 262,693. The Sec
retary said every effort consistent
with accuracy was made to prevent
delay, and that General Pershing had
been urged to expedite his lists, send
Ing the names of the dead first.
'The department, from the begin
Ming" Mr.. Baker said, has never held
up withheld or delayed giving out
casualty lists. Our policy has been to
give complete statement as soon as
possible"
