PERSONAL CONTROL FOR
PRIVATE PROFIT" AT AN
END
Senator Lewis Makes
Eloquent Talk
Railroads Under Private Manage
ment Failed to Function-Pre-
diets War to Retain Place in the
Pacific Ocean.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81 - "The
railroads will never be permitted to
return to the former state of person
al control for private profit" pre-
dicted Senator James Hamilton Lew
is, of Illinois in the senate today, in
a speech addressed to the present
railroad control bill
"Let us not deceive ourselves as to
the meaning of this measure" Sena-
tor Lewis said. "This is the question
of the government taking the rail-
roads as a government agency. All
agencies in this republic necessary
to the public welfare of man, will be
taken by the government as a neces-
sary protection of the republic The
people will take possession of the
peoples property.
1.-THE taking over of public utili-
ties Of the nation necessary for the
public welfare of the people will be
the great national home issue for the
next presidential campaign, in con-
nection with the international issues
growing out of the war or the peace
terms.
"The roads failed in the undertake
ing to provide transportation for ma
tional defense, and when the hour
was put on the roads to assure the
transportation of supplies or soldiers
the roads confessed inability to dis
charge the obligation pleaded guilty
TO confusion and complications and
surrendered in impotence to the gov
ernment. BY thus surrendering the
roads confessed that the one agency
which they admitted was the one pow.
er capable to carry on the work o.
the roads under existing conditions
of the country and the demands o.
the people was the government itself
"The national defense of our coun
try compels us to take over the rail
roads and forever to control them al
highways of governmental protection
The day is just ahead of us wheI
this nation will have to fight to stol
Alaska and Hawaii from being wrest
ed fro mthe United States. Equal.
true will we have to protect our pos
sessions in the Caribbean sea and ou
islands in the Atlantic. We have nov
no adequate means to do so. Privat
ownership of railroads failed us 70
the purpose of sending supplies t
ships or for transport of soldiers 70
foreign service. What would be tn
calamity under private ownership |
enemies were at our gates and in pos
session OF our country?"

Doff Hats at Star
Spangled Banner
Sergeant McCracken Makes Mexican
Observe Rules-Large Crowd Bid
Boys Good Bye.

The man who does not observe the
rule of showing proper respect to the
flag of this country while the nation
al air is being played cannot get by
when Sergeant w. B. McCracken of
the United States Marine Corps is
near. AS hundreds of citizens fol-
lowed the band to the depot Tuesday
evening to see thirty young men leave
some for the marine corps, some for
different branches of the regular army
either through enlistment at the re-
cruiting office or by Induction
through the local exemption board
AS the train pulled in, the band
struck up the "Star Spangled Banner"
and the crowd DOTTED hats in honor
of the national air. A son of Monte
yuma walked indifferently and either
through design, or because he did not
catch the air, failed to take off his
hat Instantly the sergeant saw him
and sprang at him like leopard, de-
manding with suppressed emotion
that he show the proper respect,
which he did claiming that the Of
fence was unintentional Sergeant
McCracken said that he would do the
same with senator of the United
States who should so far forget him
self On a previous occasion he has
called down an American for falling
to observe the patriotic rule.
The practice of accompanying de-
parting boys to the depot with parade
and music is exceedingly popular and
will hereafter be observed on all oc-
casions.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Disregarding the
announced readiness of the Bolsheviki
to accept the peace terms of the CEN
trail powers the German troops are
still advancing in Russia and have oc-
cupied a large portion of the Esthon-
ian coast, according to reports gcner
ally accepted as authentic, received
here this afternoon.

litical effect at home
Advices from Petrograd said that
some of the advanced detachments
of German troops had distributed proc
lamations threatening the occupation
of Petrograd and advising the Rus
slams that resistance would be useless.
Up to the time this dispatch was
written there had been no new de-
velopments towards a renewal of the
armistics on the eastern front and the
speech of the German foreign minis
ter before the reichstag indicated that
German meeting with little or no op-
position in Russia, is determined to
occupy considerable portion of Rus
sian territory.

AMSTERDAM, Feb 21-Ukrainia
the new Russian republic which has
just concluded peace with the central
empires, is to be converted into a
protectorate under the guardianship
of Austria-Hungary, it was reported
from Petrograd today.
The Ukrainian rada (the central
government at Kew has already ac-
cepted the principle of protectorate,
it was said.
High interest was aroused today by
the report that the British government
has notified the British consul at Kiev
to inform the Ukrainian government
that England will not recognize any
peace in the east which does not take
into account the self determination
of the Poles as to their own future.
1t was the general belief that Eng

from Berlin as to the reichstag pro-
ceedings was eagerly awaited today as
this was the day on which Chancellor
lvon Hertling was scheduled to make
his new peace speech.
1t was expected that the address
would be a reply to the recent war
aims speeches of Premier Lloyd
George and President Wilson, but that
the chancellor would devote a consid-
cradle part of it to the Ukrainian
lpeace, the renewal of hostilities
against Bolsheviki and the offer of the
lLenine-Trotzky government at Petro-
grad to give fresh consideration to the
terms of the central empires.

WRITE LETTERS THAT CHEER

Do you give as good as you get?
Does your soldier boy fill his letters
with accounts of the disagreeabIe
things he is meeting or does he cheer
fully ignore them and try to make you
believe that he is having the best time
ever? He knows that you can do moth
ing to change conditions as he finds
them, so, in his fine philosophy, why
pass the worrying on to you? Turn
the picture around and look at the
boys side of it. You Will never know
the half Of the things he endures; he
won't tell you now, and when he comes
back he will wave them aside as of no
importance. AS you can't help him, he
can't help you. A grumbling letter, or
one full of discOuragement, will only
make a soldier a little less efficient in
his JOBS you will still have the home
problems to tackle. The need is not so
much for more letters, but for more
cheerful letters, is the word that comes
from the camps. "The mud-SOaked Old
