COMMITTEE OF SIX
 T0 CONTROL ISSUE
 OF ALL SECURITIES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-An agree ment for revision of the two most im- portant provisions of the bill for a war finance corporation to aid in the financing of war and contributory in- dustries was reached late today ps Secretary McAdoo, and the senate finance committee.
 Under the compromise which is ex- pected to secure unanimous support of the powers for licensing of security issues of $100,000 and over would he vested, instead of the directors of the proposed corporation, in a capital issue committee composed of three members of the federal reserve board and three representatives of private N financial interests.
 Another important change would limit authority of the corporation $ directors to make advances of gov ernment funds directly to private in- dustries Sin exceptional cases.'' The proposed amendment will definitely prescribe that railroads, public utili- tries and other specific classes of in dustries only shall be allowed to re- ceive loans directly from the corpo- ration. Addition of a new clause specifically prohibiting federal aid to industries without substantial stand ing is proposed.

 REVISION IF RULES
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-Revision of the rules prohibiting the sale or serving of intoxicants to officers and enlisted men of the army, announced yesterday, is designed, Chairman Eos dick of the commission on training camp activities, explained today, to stamp out "bootlegging" outside of the dry zones around military camps. Not only is the old ruling not relaxed, ne said but the revised regulation is much more stringent.
 Under the original order. MT. F'os- dick said, only the sale of liquor to of- ficers and enlisted men in uniform was prohibited outside of the dry zones and bootleggers and interruptions liquor dealers were enabled to evade the law without violating it technically.
 As revised the regulations prohibit the serving, giving or delivering of in- tOxicants to an officer or soldier out side the zone, except 'that in private homes liquors may be served to offi- cers or soldiers who are members of the family or bona fide guests. Persons convicted of violating the new regula . tions would be liable to fine of $1 900 or twelve months imprisonment or both.
 The definition of the term military camp has been enlarged in the revised order to embrace training camps of the ordnance and quartermasters de- partment and medical officers.

RAILROAD BILL |S
 FURTHER DISCUSSED
TRepublican A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.--Another session was given over by the senate to1ay to discussion of the admlnistra- ton railroad bill with prospects of d final vote before adjournment tomor- row. Voting on amendments will be- gin at ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 Consideration of the bill was delayed in the house by a party fight over a resolution setting aside space in a local park for a monument to former Presi- dent Buchanan, but the debate will be taken up there again tomorrow
 Although speaking in support of the railroad bill in the senate today, Senator Underwood of Alabama, demo- crat, declared it lacks limitation" and was 'crudely drafted" He said he would not vote for it unless it was amended so as to provide for an in- definite period of government control. The existing law under which the presi- dent took over control of the railroads, he asserted. was unconstitutional be- cause it did not provide for a just compensation for the carriers.
 Senator Poindexter of Washington and Sherman of Illinois, republicans, also discussed the bill the former urg- ing the substitution of the original draft, placing final rate making power in the hands of the committee. Sen ator Sherman supported the bill.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 20.-The Aus trian premier, Dr. von Seydler, speak ing in the reichrath today, entered into long defense of the original treaty of peace with Ukraine and announced subsequent treaty appointing con- mission to define the frontiers of Ukraine and Cholm (Chelm) "The Petrograd government he said, "has declared the state of war between Russia and Austria Hungary at an end, and, so far as human judgment can foresee, a state of war will not again arise between these two coun- tries.
 Responding to German cries of help from Esthonia and Livonia, Germany resolved to march further into the in- terior in order to save from certain destruction those unhappy nationals living in those provinces. In full ac- cord with our allies, we decided not to participate in this military action. Our aim, therefore, remains what it was before-to bring help as speedily as possible, to the Austro- Hungarian na- tions still on Russian soil"
 Dr. von Seydler announced that 20,- 900 prisoners had already arrived from Russia and that negotiations would be resumed with the Petrograd govern ment for the exchange of prisoners. Depends Upon Race Principles. In explaining the appointment of the l commission, the premier declared that the future of Cholm would depend upon race principles and the desires of the population. Russia, he said, had de- manded for its territories the right of all peoples to self determination, even to the extent of complete severance. | We accepted this standpoint for the occupied territories he continued, and all the negotiations at Brest Litovsk were conducted on this basis. We recognized this right for the peo- | pies of Lithuania, Gourland and Poland and no logical or moral ground could be discovered for depriving Ukraine ians of the right granted to other Rus sian peoples.
 l "The members of the Polish club cannot deny the existence of a large Ukranian population in Cholm and i that this nation has the right to be heard. I go even farther and say il was the duty of the Austro- Hungarian government to conclude peace with the Ukrainians
 | What was secured at Brest-Litovsk was peace for the people, and the Aus tro- Hungarian peoples would never have understood if we had rejected this peace, or rejected the possibility of obtaining wheat merely in order that l Cholm in its entirety and uncondition- ally should fall to Poland. What would the empires reply have been il the foreign minister had returned and admitted that he had spoiled the chances of peace because he refused to the Ukrainian population of Choln the same right to be heard as is pos sessed by the Polish part"

 NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Aimost 150 persons employed in a West Thlrtleth street loft building, where army uniforms are made, have been overcome by fumes of some mysterious gas since noon yesterday. All efforts of health department officials and the po- lice to trace the gas have been unsuccessful.
 A quantity of khaki cloth was received by contractor on the ninth floor Tuesday and almost immediately afterward the elevator men who had handled it became ill. From that time throughout the afternoon workers became uncon- scious all over that floor and in shops on the three stories above. They were revived and sent home.
 This morning the odor was again noticed and by 10 o'clock so many persons had been overcome that the plant was shut down and a call sent for the police, who summoned doctors and ambulances. After first aid had been administered the victims regained consciousness.
 The doctors, who found that the patients complained of queer sensation in their threats, were unable to locate the trouble, and the police sent for physicians from the department of health. lnvesti- gation showed that the casualty list was confined to the uniform shop and the floors above,

OVERSEAS TONNAGE
 AT LOW PO|NT AND
 NOW GOING UPWARD
[RepubIiean A. P. Lsas.d wirel


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Oyerseas ship tonnage available to America and me allies passed it's low points about February ], several weeks earlier than shipping experts had predicted.
 Otncials believe the upward curve will continue until the war is ended. unless difficulties not now foreseen are encountered.
 h support of this belief. attention was called today to the satisfactory results Tn the campaign against the enemy submarines, to the fact that great ships now are coming from American yards and to the progress of negotiations for neutral vessels to be used in the non hazardous trades to ] release other shipping for overseas fearrying.
 When experts first plotted the curve of the tonnage supply taking into con- sideration the greatest success of sub marines and all possible contingencies in the domestic situation, they found that the number of vessels available for transporting troops and for feeding the allies would be lower at the end of this month than at any other period. Just how close to the danger point that would be, they did not care to say.
 For the last three weeks the charts UT tlc SHipplnS DVdlu nave SnOWn a steady upward trend Officials think that from now. on, new factors will aid rather than retard the efforts to put more ships into service. Chief of these will be the restriction of imports made effective February 16 the results oi which will not be noticeable for weeks yet. As more ships are needed, they will be withdrawn from the neutral trade and commerce with those coun- tries curtailed to that extent.
 Officials declined to say what was the dominating factor in checking the decline in available tonnage, but it is well known that optimistic opinions are had regarding the submarine campaign Despite labor troubles con- fidencc is expressed that the goal oi 4.O00.00O tons of shipping will be buili in this country this year.

 The strain on the British troops and those of the allies, he added, might be severe, but the success of the British and French armies in the last year had inspired all ranks to the be- lief in their ability to hold their own.
 British gun power had increased by almost 50 per cent during the last year and the army was doing everything possible to economize, with view to saving tonnage. These economies would save two millions tonnage in the distant theaters of the war this year.
