LONDON, Jan. cS.--The Bolshevik

convinced Of the certain failure of the

litically. The Austrian delegates. he
said. merely asscnted to the German
proposals.
The Bolshevik telegraph agency has
given out a lengthy statement In re-
gard to Germany's insistence upon an.
nexations. saying that the words "self
determination'' are mockery unoer
such circumstances.
The statement then asks what on1ect
the Austro-German Imperialists had on

OF a democratic peace and answers ::
THE same object as was followed by

the canal been equipped with suffi-
cient number of boats, enough coal
would have been brought to- Washing
ton to. have prevented the fuel famine
that is now causing hardship and suf-
fering. he said.
'The quickest and most effective way
to prevent recurrence Of these condi-
tions," said Representative Zihlman,
will be for Director General McAdoo
to seize the canal. bring discarded boats
here from other inland waterways and
put them into service as soon as pos

CARRIES SOFT COAL
FOR MANY SECTIONS
C.. and O. Canals Importance
Defended by Those Urging
Government Control.
RELIEF FOR RAILROADS

Members of Congress and others who
are urging government operation of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal as war
measure ridiculed the suggestion today
that the benefit from such operation
would not be great, because only soft
coal is transported over the canal from
the Cumberland fields.
Both Representatives Moore of Penn
sylvania and Zihlman OF Maryland.
members of a congressional party that
inspected several miles of this water
way Sunday. pointed out today that
coal shipped via the canal not only is
for local consumption, but for use by
the government at the navy yard, In
dian Head and other places. and may be
transported as far north as Baltimore
and as far south as Norfolk.
To the extent that the canal is fac
tor in getting soft coal out of Cumber-
land for use in Washington and else
where will the railroads, they stated, be
released from the necessity of transport
ing fuel from this district. and made free
to handle the distribution of hard coal and
meet other heavy traffic demands imposed
by the war
