Passes Patriotic Bounds.
Would the same plan be applicable
If the government decides TO keep the
roads permanently he asked.
Certainly not snapped Krutts-
chnitt. He explained that although
railroad stockholders would agree to
sacrifices through patriotism during
the war, they would surely insist on
their full rights II the roads were TO
be conhscated as final measure.
President Wilson's own part in the
program was threashed out at this
juncture. with Judge Thorn insisting
the President will be obligated by the
bill, as IL stands TO make the COM
pensation basis three years. Senator
Poindexter asked KrUttschnitt to de-
scribe any conferences he or the rail-
road war board or other railroad
heads may have had with President
Wilson.
The war board conferred with the
President some days ago. Kruttschnitt
explained President Wilson descrfb-
ing the compensation plan only in a
general way. He added that the
President said he had something in
mind similar to the British plan, -
and that the Presidents talk TO US
was most reassuring, very reassur-
ing" Kruttschnitt said that none OF
the railroad men declared their feel
ings on the point of remuneration at
this conference with President VII
son.
Roads Gown Money
Judge Thorn went further than
RrVttschnitt in his opposition TO
President Wilson's plan. The rail-
roads, he declared. will fight to re-
tain all their profits.
IF the government operates the
railroads wisely" he said. the
stockholders profits would go to the
government"
This, he added. would not be fair.
Thorn insisted the government had
robbed the roads of their right 70
.cOntroI their own profits. and that
they would certainly try to keep all
their own money in their own hands
and out Of the government vaults.
The fight will be renewed today.
Senator Watson last night impressed
on Judge Thorn the Importance of
bringing into the hearings evidence
TO show that the railroads did not
fail of their own fault in the war
crisis. The Senator intends TO play
up this evidence in his campaign
against government ownership.
Kruttschnitt will resume his testi-
mony. and Rea OF the Pennsylvania.
Schriver of the Baltimore and Ohio
and other railroad executives will
be on hand to appear as needed.
Meantime, Director General Nc
Adoo or one of his new railroad
staff will appear before the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, to explain the working
of the bill as applied to the present
railroad situation.
George W. Anderson. of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, under
stood to be the real author Of the
bill. will be the first witness.

German RadicaIs' Views.

German Radicals Views.
Berlin dispatches made clear the So
cialists' stand by transmitting these
utterances:
Philip Sheldemann, leader Of the
majority: I'VE Social Democrats re-
pudiate all intentions of conquest and
stand by the unrestricted right Of
self-determination OF peoples. We
must have absolute clearness on these
subjects. The ChanCellor's declara-
tions are inadequate
DIR. Hugo Haase. minority radical
leader: The ReiChstag must without
ambiguity interpret the principle of
self determination of all peoples.
Otherwise an early peace is impos-
sible"
One version is that the minority
Socialists sent the Bolsheviki a di-
rect message advising them not to
accept the German terms and TO
avoid a separate peace.
The press of France and England
continued today to acclaim Premier
Lloyd Georges war aims speech.
President Wilson. through Ambassa-

prevail of the premier's utterance.

riage between 200 and $50 tons.
The Germans had gotten the gun bar
rel away. No estimate was made of the
weight of this. The projectile used was
15.2 inches In diameter and weighed
1900 pounds. The maximum range Is
not known, but guns of this type shoot
up districts at ranges of thirty and
forty miles. The only inscription on 1t
was, "Friedkrupp, Magdeburg."
The Germans had taken many bolts
out of the gun carriage, but had not
been able to get this away Four spits
showed where an effort had been made
to destroy It, but little damage had
been done. Nearby was a large machine
shop with many tools to keep the
gun in order On every side of the
gun were dugouts thirty feet deep. 1t
is not known whether the weapon was
fired by gunners deep under ground.
There were three marks on the founda-
tion where American shells struck, but
did practically no damage. The techni-
cal details of this emplacement of the

Turks forward along the southern coast
of the Black Sea to Batur, and is GER
tain to try to patch up an agreement
with the Armenians, as she has done
with the Georgians, so that she may get
to Raku, obtain complete control of the
Caspian and make herself dominant in
Persia.
If the German Government can lay
the foundation of an eastern policy on
these broad lines. and it is trying very
hard to do so, It will then be able to
keen before the German people an en-
ticing program at a time when the in
crease in the American forces in the west
has forced the German generals to aban-
don the initiative there and thrown them
on the defensive. l..
We may expect the next year to see
tho Germans endeavoring to avoid bat
tia in the west by gradually falling
hack before the Allied armies across a
country which has been completely and
scientifically devastated, to strongly pre-
nared lines as they did in the spring

tha game of bargaining to set along
