Mr.. vardaman for Permanent Plan.

On the other hand. at least one mem
ber of the Senate committee, Senator
vardaman of Mississippi, who is
strongly in favor of government owner
ship Of public utilities, believes that any
measure adopted for taking over the
telephone system of the District should
be permanent.
II am in favor of having the govern
ment own and operate through the Post
Office Department both the telephone sys-
tenn and the telegraph system OF the cout,-
try said Senator Vardaman today. Il
am opposed, however to having the Dis
trict telephone system taken over merely
for the period Of the war, probably to ben
eft private corporation.
1.-The company now operating the sys-
tenn is certainly not entitled to increase the
rates for service as it is proposed to do. "

No suggestion has ever been made that
it be taken up for consideration.
for the permanent taking over by the
government and operation by the Post
Office Department of the District tele-
phone system, while the proposal of the
department was that it should take over
the system here for the period Of the

the committee might look with favor
on the proposal as a war measure alone.

you see, is tt keep Germans who come
to this country from becoming Ameri-
cans.
Away back In 1890 the Alldeutscher
Eerband. or the Pan-German league,
WIS formed. 1t now consists of 26S
chapters OF which two now are-or at
least were Immediately before the war
lin the United States. one in New
York and one in San Francisco. To
quote from the Alldeutsche Batter, its
official publication, "the Pan-German
league is founded for promoting Ger
man National interests. both In Ger
many and In foreign lands"
A few thinking Americans knew
all the time what was coming-what
must come. But America. as a whole.
went along In that carelessness and
Indifference with which it treats all
things unpleasant, and allowed this
German war on our most sacred insti-
tutions to continue unchecked.
SO Germany stands today with one
foot on PROSTATE Belgium and the 9TH
er on the neck of poor deluded Rus
sia; with bayonet planted In the
heart Of Serbia, and the point Of its
sword at the throat of Roumania.
while II looks out over the vassal
States Of Bulgaria and Turkey to In
dia and the Orient. And as it stands
thus, 1t cries to its foes on the west
ern front:
"Kampradr whv no an xy,th oil +hfs
killing? Lets have peace by nego-
tiation" and, under its breath, adds.
'I've got sll want for the present"
Can we talk Of any peace until
such a Germany is absolutely defeat

ment, and the orders of one are the
orders for all. If you haze freight

Do not blame it on the agent bat

GOVERNMENT URGED
TO OPERATE CANAL
Representatives Moore and Zihlman
Want Government Take Over
Chesapeake and Ohio

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Federal con-
troll and operation of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal for the duration of the war
has been proposed to Congress in two
measures, one of which. a joint reso-
luton. was introduced by Representa-
tive J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsyl-
vania The other. bill, was offered by
Representative Zihlman, of Maryland.
Mr.. Moore's resolution requests the
President to take over the canal in the
name of the United States and to i'm
prove and operate it for the purposes OF
national defense. 1t Is pointed out that
the acquisition and operation Of the
waterway would relieve to great extent
the railroad congestion and enable the
Government to meet its own coal re-
quirements here in Washington and vi
cinity. The resolution was referred to
the Committee on Interstate and For
egn Commerce.
The bill offered by Mr.. zihlman au-
thorizes Federal control of the canal
and empowers the President acting
through the Secretary of War, to take
over and operate 1t. Compensation is
fixed at an annual rate equivalent to the
average net operating income for the
three years ended June 80, 1917. The
sum Of $1.000.000 is appropriated.

WARE PROMISES VOTE
FOR SUFFRAGE BILL
Congressman Also Agrees to
Seek Aid of the Pennsyl-
vania Delegation
By q STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan

Jnuualified support of the woman suf-
fraee amendment, to be voted upon by
the House tomorrow, has been pledged
by Congressman William S. Ware. of
Philadelphia, to Mrs. j. c. Miller, of
Pittsburgh. president of the Pennsylva-
mia State Woman Suffrage Association.
Not only did Congressman Ware pledge
his own vote for the measure, but prom
ised Mrs Miller that he would do all
he could to have the Pennsylvania dele
cation in Congress give good majority
for the measure Prior to the announce
ment made by Congressman Ware, con-
pressional leaders in charge OF the bill
had credited Pennsylvania with but ten
certain votes from it's delegation OF
thirty-siX.
I'VE consider the pledge of Mr.. Ware
az substantial support and now feel con-
fdept that a large majority. will be
given the amendment by the Pennsyl-
yania delegation" Mrs. Miller said upon
receiving assurance from Mr.. Ware.
"It was only through the efforts of
Senator Edwin II. Ware that the people
of Pennsylvania were given an oppor-
tunity to vote on suffrage following the
1915 session of the Legislature. and l
feel that the Wares have been the warm
friends Of suffrage in Pennsylvania"
The Pennsylvania delegation of Re-
publicans Is expected to give n ajority
for the bill, while the Democrats have
thus far co-operated with their south
ern colleagues against the measure to
a great extent. But two Pennsylvania
Democrats are counted upon as favor
able to the bill.
