Swiss Rail Rates Rise.

Washington-More than half the
mileage of Swiss railways is federal
owned Since the outbreak Of the war
three have been successive advances in
railway rates, the federal and corpor-
ate owned lines acting in unison. These
advances have been based on federal
legislation and have affected both pas
senSer and freight rates.
Jan. /. 1918, all Announcement tickets
were discontinued. These "subscrip-
ton or season" tickets entitled the
purchaser to unlimited travel over tho
railways of the country during speci-
fed period, usually a quarter, half
or an entire year. The issuance OF re-
turn tickets was discontinued and an
extra charge made for the sale OF ordi-
nary tickets for use on post trains.
The most accurate figures OF the in
creased cost of travel to the great body
Of the travelling public, through direct
and indirect increase of rates, from the
outbreak of the war to the present time
is about 10 per cent.

in Attack on Alleged
Sitting Of News Sources
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-President
Wilson, his actions and his peace theo-
ries were bitterly hayed in speech
after speech in the Senate to-day-the
last meeting Of the present session.
No Democrat raised his voice in de-
fence during the long onslaught. In
deed, one OF the shrewdest attacks Of
all--that on the league Of nations and
the freedom of the seas--was made by
Democrat, Senator Reed, of Missouri.
Presidential seizure of the cable
lines and express companies as "war
necessity" after the war had been won
was denounced as an attempt to foist
socialism upon the nation by executive
order. The President was accused Of
a "breach Of good faith" with Con-
gress and Of playing to the radical ele-
ment Of the country. Senator Watson
of Indiana, led the attack on the cable
policy, in which several other Senators
joined.
Words were not minced by the at
tacking Senators in expressing the be
lief that George Creel, chairman OF
the Committee on Public Information,
was being taken to Europe by the
Pres ident to "pinch" the cables and
provide q means for preventing the
movement in either direction of any

Il was astounded when read of
Helnecke's mission abroad, as it is not
many weeks since Mr.. Sisson gave me
his promise that Mr.. Heinecke would
not be permitted to go abroad. That
promise was given under the following

Small Party To Be Taken to
Peace Conference on
the Agamemnon
Taft Eliminated,
Washington Believes
Hoover Is Mentioned as
Possible Delegate
to Farley

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-President
Wilson and his party will sail for Eu-
rope to attend the peace conference on
December or day or two later. The
President will take passage on the Aga
memnon, formerly the German liner
Kaiser Wilhelm II, which was among
the enemy steamships seized by the
United States at the beginning of the
war.
There still is no definite indication
as to the composition Of the American
delegation to the peace conference. The
name Of ex-President Taft, which has
been mentioned, may now definitely be
eliminated from the list Of possibili-
ties. The personnel that will accom-
pany the American delegation will be
small in number and will consist of not
more than twenty-five or thirty per-
sons.
There are many persons seeking
places on the commission, but the
White House has let 1t be understood
that the personnel must be small, as
most Of the attaches of the American
delegation can be recruited from the
stats Of the American embassies abroad
and those Of Generals Bliss and Per
shing.
Herbert g. Hoover probably will sit
at the peace table as one Of the repre-
sentatives Of the United States. The
Food Administrator is now in Europe
under special commission from the
President to handle food relief and, it
is understood here. has within the last
few days made arrangements for a
prolonged stay abroad.
During the White House discussions
which preceded and attended the diplo-
matte correspondence between Presi-
dent Wilson and the German govern
ment which eventuated in the armistice

u. S. Red Cross
Over the Rhine

PARIS, Nov. 21.--A delegation of the
American Red Cross has crossed the
Rhine into Baden at Huningue, placing
the first Americans on strictly German
soil. The place where the river was
crossed Is just north OF the Swiss
frontier.
The German soldiers accepted Ameri-
can flags and officers cleared the roads
for the Red Cross trucks, and insisted
that the Red Cross workers drink with
them.
German Soldiers Councils in Baden
are selling German arms and supplies.
The population, which is revolutionary,
is in complete control. h4gged and
famished Italians almost raised the
roof off the Red Cross canteen with
cheers when the Americans opened the
place.
The Red Cross delegation left Swift
zerland for Alsace on Friday, taking
with it a truckload of supplies. Two
hundred Italians were fed. A canteen
was established at st. Louis. Ten thou
sand Germans passed the canteen, all
wearing the revolutionary red ribbon
or rosettes. The officers and men car
ried red flags.

PARIS, Nov. 21.--Most newspapers
gave bold mention without comment
Of the fact that the report that Presi-
dent Wilson is shortly coming to Flu
rope had been confirmed.
The extravagant enthusiasm mani
tested last spring when the project
was still mooted one seems now to
have disappeared.
Recent steps taken by Wilson have
had the enthusiastic support and ap-
proval of the Socialist party here. On
the other hand, Alfred Capus, editor Of
the "Figaro," says this morning:
eve know very we'll we owe the H.
lustrious President of the United
State eternal gratitude, but we don't
think this implies a blind submission
or compels US to abandon our concep-
tion Of French interests"
Paris Is Amused
Paris is watching with good deal
of amusement the efforts Of the new
so-called German government again to
enter into separate conversation with
Pres ident Wilson, with the object of in
ducing the American President to pledge
the Allies to provide Germany with
food. But the amusement is not un-
mixed with nervousness over the ef-
fects which this conversation may pro-
duce on the whole situation.
No one here credits the suggestion
artfully put forward by Ebert that Ger
many is really short of food. German
official statements published at the
end of September showed that the Ger
man harvest was already then known
to be Is per cent better than that of
the previous year.
On October 1, so satisfactory was
the position that the old bread rations
we're reestablshed, and on the 9th of
this month The German food controller
announced that the daily -four rations
would be increased by forty grammes
from December |.
Why Cry to Wilson.
Why, therefore, it is being asked
here, did Ebert cable Wilson a few
days ago asking him to promise TO send
foodstuffs to Germany Immediately :?
Especially, also, why did he beseech
Wilson to reply to him direct by wire
less?
AS the "Temps" points out, the clause
in the arnistice conditions under which
the United States and the Allies un-
dertake to carry out such revictual-
ment of Germany as may be necessary
sufices to meet the case. Why then
this FRANTIC demand to Wilson?
'In addressing himself exclusively
to Washington" says the "Temps. :"
Ebert is trying to carry on private
conversation with the United States
the conversation Chancellor Max Of
Baden began when he launched his re-
quest for an armistice on October 1.
