FOR HIGHER WAGES
Railway BrOtherhOods Renew Request to The Railroad Administration
 For Time and a Half Overtime.

Washington, Oc. 24.-The four leading railway brotherhoods have re- newed their request for time and a half pay for overtime work and are now pressing this issue before the Railroad Administrations Board of Railroad Wages and Working condi- tion.
 At present, most of the men get the same rate of pay for overtime that they receive for the standard days work
 The new application applies to the engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen's brotherhoods. In addition, the switchmen's union has asked for time and a half credit for holidays and Sunday work
 The wage board is considering the application, and will make recommen- dations to Director General McAdoo. Railway firemen ask special scale of pay which would result in increas- es ranging between 25 and 80 percent, in addition to the time and a half for overtime request.
 All the brotherhoods also seek re- adjustments of wage scales through but the country to restore wage rela- tionship and differentials which the last general wage advances wiped out.

are concerned but there is another gateway, via the Kiel canal and the Skagerrak, passing between neutral waters.
 Essential to Control. l Ashore on the western front, which dominates the situation elsewhere, it /, is regarded as obvious that occupa- tion of the Metz -Thionville fortress would be essential. Speculation in this connection has an unusual interest here since it is regarded as probable that the Germans would, in any case, ,Istipulate that Americans troops take over the fortress until final disposi- tion of Alsace-Lorraine is determined at peace conferences.
 Holding the Metz Thionville gate way, supplemented possibly by occu- patton of the Rhine fortress of Strass- burg, some officers think, would en- able the allies, forces not only to do- minate the German forces on this front. but would give also an open road into Germany itself should a resumption of hostilities be threaten ed.
 Evacuation Belgium and France. Terms for the evacuation of Bel gium and Northern France probably would precede the statement of con- ditions that must later be enforced along the German-Belgian frontier It is believed the allied chiefs will propose a definite plan for the rear ward movement of the German for ces under which the enemy's armies would successively, retire. The plan marked out. It is thought. would pro vide for exposure of the German for ces to flanking operations that would cut them to pieces should any treach- cry be revealed.
 What fortresses on the German Belgian frontier might later be re- quired for occupation is not so clear, since it is thought that in any case the reservation of the Rhine road to Der lin by the occupation of Metz and pos tsibly Strassburg might make pre- cautions in the north.
 Austria to Give to Italy
 Other obvious requirements would be, it is thought surrender by Austria to the Italians of fortresses in the Alps that guard the Austrian border and the road to Vienna; probable evacuation of the whole east coast of the Adrictic and the occupation of such bases as would bottle up Aus trian naval power completely in that sea. Possibly the surrender of their naval base of Trieste might be de- manded.
 To safeguard Rumania and enforce peace conditions in Russia, it was said, the road to the Black Sea must be cleared, which would require sur render by the Turks of the fortresses of Dardanelles. Surrender also of Russian battleships and destroyers in the Black Sea seized by the Germans would be demanded it was thought and possibly the surrender of the Turkish war craft as we'll.

 FOR THE MONOGRAPH

Los Angeles, Oct. 22-A method of tasting the ability of any person to sing. without seeing him reven hearing him, has been devised by Theophilus Fitz of this city, recently director of music in the State Teach CTS College of Colorado. This method, which Professor Fitz says in his
 contribution to science" is based upon a series of measurements of the head cavities that de declares he has worked down to exact mathematics. He does not find it necessary to see, touch or hear the subject, as his work, which terms "voice diagnosis" has become as definite to him as math- ematics. All he asks is that certain measurements of the head be taken correctly.
 After learning these measurements and these of the subject, he makes his own calculation as to the size and shape of the head cavities and an nounces whether the subject if girl is soprano or contralto, and if a youth, whether he would sing the role of basso or a tenor robusto. "Mamie ften sings soprano just be-
 cause Susie does, although she ought to be singing contradict" says Profes sor Fitz. "And Bill insists upon ing ing bass, because he thinks it is man. ly, when he really ought to be ten or"
 Persons with a round head make the best singers, he says, because theil head cavities are the most symmetri- cal; those with long heads come next and those with oval cranium rank
 last.
 Cts nonsense" he says. ''for people to pass four or five years studying music,-so ascertain whether they can sing and if so, what part, when by this method, they can obtain such a decis. ion immediately"

Military Opinion at
 Washington is that :. < Wilson Has Basic Idea
Terms of Surrender German Military Power to Make 1mpotent Must Be Worked Out By Supreme
 War Council

Washington, Oct. 24.-Discussion
 centered here today on the probable
 terms of armistice which may be for
 mulated by the allied and American military advisers proposals transmit l ted by President Wilson. It was gen. erally assumed by army officers that
 the President already had ascertained the willingness of the allied govern l ments to submit the matter to the
 military men.
 l Military opinion here is that MT, l Wilson has expressed the basic idea upon which an immediate armistice
 can be reached.
 For Supreme War Council. l The terms to render the German
 military power on land and sea absol-
 utely impotent must be worked out by l the supreme war council.
 It will be the mission of the mili- l tary advisers to translate general principles into concrete terms of fort
 resses to be occupied, submarine bas-
 es to be placed under guard, muni- l tions plants to be dismantled and
 strategic rail lines to be secured against German use. Since an armis- | tice on allied terms means an end of
 the war attention also must be given i to demobilization of the German ar-
 my, in itself long process since the great force could not be turned back to civil life overnight. 4.
 Machinery Now Exists. fhea machinery for formulation of the terms already exists. The military and naval boards of the supreme war
 council at Versailles furnish the nat ural avenue for the assembling of the views of the military leaders and bringing them into harmony in def mite statement of the conditions upon which fighting could come to an end. Marshal Foch, as supreme commander
 ana Generals Petain, Haig. Pershing, Diaz and Gillian, the Belgian chief of staff, are ex officio members of the ar my board as the admirals commanding
 the four great navies, British, French, American and Italian, are ex-officio members of the naval board.
 The president proposes that the terms to be drawn up by the military ana naval agencies are to be submit tea to the respective governments
 associated against Germany for ratifi- cation before they are given to the herman government. The supreme war council, composed of the premiers o1 the allies and of President Wilson, probably would pass upon the pro- gram since it is only armistice con- oltlons and not peace treaties which
 are to be considered.
 West Front Simple.
 AS to the terms themselves, the sit satlon on land, so far as the western
 1Iont is concerned, appears simple.
 ID make certain that the U-boat fleets are put out of action, however by any
 terms except the surrender of the
 ssa:.Dmarines s:.s1 themselves, appears more
 al!Ilcult. Occupation of Helgoland
 mlgnt serve to bottle up both the sub
 f,s fnarlnes and the German high Seas

ROOSEVELT SENDS VlTROLIC WORDS
 ID 1HF: SENATE
Says "Wilson's Note Thoro- ly Mischievous" And
 Objects to l4 Terms

Oyster Bay, Oct 24.-Theodore l Roosevelt sent duplicate telegrams tonight to United States Senators 1 Lodge, Poindexter and Johnson in ] which he characterized as "thorough- ly mischieveous" the IA principles ] enunciated by President Wilson if they are to be made the basis of peace. The Telegrams. The telegrams follow:
 "As an American citizen, I most earnestly hope that the senate of the United States, which is part of the treaty making power fthe United States will take affirmative action against negotiated peace with Ger many and in favor of peace based on the unconditional surrender of Germany.
 q also declare against the adopt tion in their entirety of the IA points of the Presidents address of last January as offering basis for a peace satisfactory to the United States.
 ''Let us dictate peace by the ham, mering guns and not chat about peace to the accompaniment of the clincking of typewriters.
 '"The language of the IA re:::H:ttss a;;.., the subsequent statements explaining or qualifying them is neither straight forward nor plain, but of construed in it's probable sense many, and possibly most of these IA points are thorough ly mischievous and if made the basis Nof peace such peace would repres- ent, not the unconditional surrender of Germany, but the conditional sur render of the United States.
 Naturally they are entirely satis- 1 factory to Germany and equally nat urally they are in this country satis- factory to every pro- German and pacifist and socialist and anti-Ameri- can so-called internationalist.
 "The only peace offer which we should consider from Germany at this time is an offer to accept such terms as the allies, without our aid, have imposed on Bulgaria.
 "We ought to declare war on Fur. key without an hours delay.
 'sThe failure to do so hitehto has caused the talk about making the world safe for democracy to look un. pleasantly like mere insincere rhetor. Turkey Is An Enemy.
 "While the Turk is left in Europe and permitted to tyrannize over sub. ject people the world is thoroughly unsafe for democracy. 1 Moreover we should find out what the President means by continual, referring to this country merely a. the associate instead of ally of the nations with those troops our owr troops are actually brigaded in bat. tie.
 eff he means that we are something less than ally of France, England Italy, Belgium and Serbia, then he means that we are something less than an enemy of Germany and Aus ! tria.
 ''We ought to make it clear to thu world that we are neither an untrust ' worthy friend nor an irresolute foe.
