!, Gross Negligence Of Roads.
Gross negligence Of railroads under
private management in giving proper
care to locomotives Is the principal
cause Of the present freight congestion,
is given in report today to Director
General McAdoo by Interstate Com
merce Commissioner McChord.
Commissioner McChord announced
that hundreds of locomotives are idle
IN shops and roundhouses, frozen thru
neglect or lacking in repairs which
might have been made had proper fore :
thought been given by road officials.
! This condition was partly due to
scarcity of machinists and repairmen
but very largely to neglect of local
rail officials in making preparations
before winter arrived.
The railroad wage commission, Di-
rector General McAdoo's advisory body,
decided today not to investigate griev-
iances OF railroad labor but to limit its
work to broad matters Of policy. A
supervisor Of labor will be appointed

Of Chancellor Won Heftling and Count
Czernin says:
THE two orders have maintained
their earlier positions"
The paper points out that Count
Czernin has made it clear that Austria
is willing to negotiate with the United
States while the German chancellor
has not ceded an inch in the territorial
question.
"Never was the Alsace- Lorraine
question forther from solution" says
the Temps.
The Temps said that did the Ger
man chancellor believe the Alsace- Lor-
ralne question the only bar to peace
he would have been obliged to declare
Germany's readiness to restore Bel
gium, and leave Poland and the Let's
20 settle their own destinies.
Instead" says the Temps, "he care
fully avoids doing this. He refuses ull
explanation about the eastern front anu
he does not even promise that French
territory will be evacuated without re.
serve"
Chancellor Won Hertling's speech is
considered in official circles as confirm
ing the supposition that General Won
Ludendorff. Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg and the pan-Germans are dictat-
ing the German policy. The intention
seems clear on the part of Germany to
treat separately each Of it's enemies.

Secs America as Bio Factor.
SRheidemann's reply to the chancel-
lor as published in the Vorwaerts fol-
lows:
'"The chief arguments We're advanced
by the militarist party for the pro-
longation of the war, namely, the sue
cess of the U-boats and the strength
OF our army, but these were to have
given us decisive victory in six
months. according to the announcement
made in 1916. Alas. that period has
long since passed, and while the U-boat
admittedly harmed England, it's chief
visible effect has been Americas entry
into the war.
If the United States had not en-
tered the war we may be sure the Rus
sian revolution would have long ago
brought about general peace.
What about the army? Suppose the
army should capture Calais and Paris.
Would that mean peace? say no.
Suppose the army conquered Franco
and England. Would that mean peace?
still say no. We would still have to
conquer America"
