GOVT. RAILROAD LOSS
CUT TO $2OO,OOO,OOO
Threatened Loss Several
Months Ago Was Placed
at Fully Half Billion.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Prosp ectiVe
loss to the government through the
operation of railroads and guarantee
ing fixed returns to the companies has
been reduced to about 100000, 600
for the nine months period ending
October /, from approximately $780,
100000, the threatened loss several
months ago. This was indicated to-
day by the interstate commerce COM
missions report that the net sum
which the government will receive
from operations of the leading rail-
roads for the nine months is $685.
$4,000.
The share of the estimated $780,
10000 guaranteed return for the
year, due the railroads from the gov
ernment for this period is calculated
at a little more than $500, ,000,0 900, or
nearly $200,0O0,00O more than the
roads earn for the government. This
does not take into consideration big
sums loaned to railroads by the rail-
road administration for financing i'm
provements, equipment purchases and
similar purposes.
Railroad administration officials
predict that by the end of the year
the governments loss will be reduced
to less than 100000, 900 and this will
be recouped later as the increased
earnings from higher rates continue to
pour in.

PLAN TO STIR UP REVOLUTIONS
IN OTHER COUNTRIES SUSPECTED
Attempt Might Be Made to
Return Former Emperor to
Power and Extend Ger
man Federation.

London, Nov. t9.-The rumors that
William Hohenzollern, the former
German emperor may possibly retHrn
to Germany as reported by the Ber-
lin Lokal Anzeiger's hint that he
would not be refused an entry to that
country, have created a considerable
stir there. They are featured by
several of the morning newspapers as
creating an uncertain situation which
is rendered more doubtful by accounts
of the activity Of German propagan-
dists in several countries.
The fear mainly is that the former
emperor sooner or later would be-
come the center of a rcactiona1Y
movement in Germany, when tho
present revolutionary storm has blown
over, and the advocates OF this view
consequently fear his return to his
former empire.
On the other hand, the fact of the
former ruler placing himself or being
placed in the hands Of the new rulers
of Germany would be welcomed III
other quarters. These rulers, the
Morning Post argues, should be able
to execute judgment upon him and
in so doing would only be acting as
fitting instruments of justice.
Dutch Object to WiIlic's Presence.
Belated advices from The Hague
show that the Dutch socialists reite"-
ated in parliament on Friday last their
objections to his presence in Holland
and demanded that he be deported.

The Hague reports that the German

Fear New German Trick.
The Daily Express sees the possi-
bility Of plot 10 trick the Allies and
create a federation for exceeding in
strength and resources the former
German empire. This newspaper con-
tends that the former emperor is back
of Chancellor Ebert, former Chanccl-
lor Macmillan of Baden and Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, and it lays
emphasis upon the fact that the en-
peror signed no formal abdication and
issued no valedictory MESA sc.
Allied Statesmen Worried.
A number OF leading allied diplo-
mats ana StdteSm en-, including Lord
Robert Cecil. under secretary Of state
for foreign affairs, believe something
is brewing in Germany in the direct
tion OF a plot to trap the allies, the
Express declares. The facts appear
to indicate, it adds, the existence of a
plan to foment social revolutions in
Holland and Switzerland and possibly
Sweden through pro-German agita-
tors. 1t is also desired, according to
these indications, the newspaper de-
clares, to foment social revolution in
allied countries, provide for the even
tual return of the former emperor to
Germany, the restoration of the old
regime and the formation of a greatly
extended German federation.
Demands Emperor Arrest.
Such a federation, with William
Hohenzollern at it's head, the Express
argues, would carry the seed of an
other world war. 1t insists that the
former emperor must be seized and

DRAINED OF men
HALT CALLED ON SENDING La
BORERS AWAY FROM
SOUTH DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 28.-That Soiux
Falls and South Dakota have sup
piled more than their full quota OF
man power which is being diverted to
other sections of the United States by
labor recruiting agents is the posi-
ton taken by the local community
board, which is also backed by the
South Dakota advisory board, in
their refusal to sanction a further
drain upon labor of this
city.
From II. j. Kelly, of the state
United States employment advisory
board, ii is learned that when the
recruiting agents were given the
privilege of recruiting labor in Sioux
Falls il was with the understanding
that no applications were to beILac-
cepted from men who were engaged
in essential war industries. This
agreement, Mr.. Kelly says, has been
violated in many ways" He points
out that fully 80 per cent of men en-
ployed in the state of South Dakota
are in absolutely war essential work
and that the violation of the agree
ment by these agents has resulted in
gripping these industries from lack
of necessary help.
1T vas also learned from one who
had visited the plant for which the
labor was being recruited that an
average of about 5000 men were ar
irving there daily and also that an
average of 5000 daily were being
sent to other parts, and from the in
formation at hand ii appears that not
more than so per cent of the men
employed in the eastern states are
engaged in war essential industries.
That being the apparent fact said
Mr. Kelly, why should we be com
PEELED to quietly submit to a contin-
ual drain on our man power re-
sources?"
1t is said that labor recruiting
agents have suspended. recruiting
pending further instructions.
