PLAN TO COMPENSATE
 RAIL WAY COMPANIES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 22.- The administration has apparently checked up to the Railway Brother hoods, rather than to the Railroad Companies the perplexing question of remuneration to the companies for the use Of thir properties while under government operation.
 It is known that Secretary Me Adoo of the Treasury Department, who was made ex officio railroad dictator by the Presidents order has concerned himself mainly with the operation problems which at the time of the governments inter vention had become seriously in- volved and so far has offered no re- commentators as to pay for the use of the lines.
 MT. Glen Plumb, representing the five railway brotherhoods in meet ing the administrators require ments has appeared before the House Commerce. Committee and submitted comprehensive plan, believed to have the approval of the President.

German Socialists and the War

n LII Europe seems to be stirred by the re-
a cent attack upon the German government
led by Herr Scheidemann, Socialist leader in
the Reichstag. He served formal notice upon
the military party that the Socialists no
longer would support the war budget or
other war plans until terms were stated
which might lead to an immediate and honor
able peace. Herr Scheidemann represents
Ill members Of this parliamentary body,
when voting as unit, but inasmuch as there
are 397 members this element cannot gain
control except by fusion, and, therefore, can
do no more in the present situation than
annoy the government.
Only future events will show whether or
not this alignment in the Reichstag is to have
any general bearing upon the future of the
war. 1t may be assumed, considering the
attitude of the German Socialists in the past.
that this sudden revolt on their part proceeds
from circumstances Of Importance. at the
outbreak of the war, the Socialist party
buried its most sacred principles when it an
nounced boldly that it would stand by the
Fatherland to the end and would cooperate
with all other parties in bringing about VIC
torious result of the conflict.
That pledge has been kept. More than
once the Socialists have insurged against
specific policies on the part of the mlitarists
ii is true, but they have never undertaken to
break down the power OF the government or
TO interfere with the morale of the army
They have lost no opportunity to preach
peace, and gave birth to the slogan peace
without annexation or indemnities," but
when they were ignored by the Junkers at
Brest Litovsk, they subsidized and seemingly
acquiesced so long as the annexations decreed
there were favorable to Germany.
Throughout the whole war the Socialists
have given measurable support to Germany
They have discussed with more frankness
than any other group domestic conditions
and have repeatedly given the outside world
its only clear view of the suffering which
the German people have sustained but thew
have organized no revolutions as did the
Bolsheviki in Russia. They have stood for
no hamstringing OF the opposition parties at
home. They have, in fact been about as
loyal as any other great body of the German
population
In the light OF this record, the hostile at
ttude OF the Scheidemann Socialists at this
1uncture would seem TO be significant. 1t is
being discounted in some quarters as another
Herlnan peace subterfuge. It is described as
piece OF typical German trickery to mislead
allied field commanders with the idea that
the offensive is at an end. This seems rather
1ar-fetched 1t is difficult TO believe the Ger
man socialists would be party to SO paIpa Bile
fraud. The better guess is that the pres
sure LOT peace is becoming more and more
determined IN Germany, and that this nrc,
sure Is being applied TO the Socialist marty

Why $40 Wheat?

IF the reports which have been made TO the
l President by the tod administration and
the Department OF Agriculture upon the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, fixing the price Of
wheat a. s240 bushel, are TO be credited,
ii is difficult TO understand what motives
promoted Congress in deliberately placing the
American wheat growers in the profteering
class. Since the President relies upon the
judgment back OF this advice, his veto OF the
appropriation bill must be justified.
II is declared, for example, that the great
body of wheat growers making money
