To the ancients honeymoon was n
luxurious beverage prepared with the
slrupy secretion of the bee. II was
the custom to drink of this diluted
honey for 30 days, or a moons age,
after n wedding feast. Hence arose
the term honeymoon, which is of\Teu-
tonic origin.

PREDICTS GOVERNMENT
 CONTROL OF RAILROADS

Washington, Nov. 12.-Winthrop M. Daniels, chairman of the Interstate Commerce commission, predicted in an address today that railroads after the war will be operated either uneer en- tire government management and con- trol or private management with gov ernment supervision of financing and elimination of competitive waste. He vas speaking before the annual meet ing of the National Association of Railway and Utility Commissioners, a body of state representatives.
 Chairman Daniels expressed doubt tllat the present government monage- ment without ownership could be con- tlnued satisfactorily in peace times. With restoration of private manage ment. he said, competitive waste should be eliminated by Derpetuating the railroad administration plan for curtailing unnecessary passenger train schedules on parallel roads and haul ing freight over the shor est routes, regardless of it's origin. Terminal equipment facilities should be used in common, regional consolidation of par aIleI and competing lines should be worked out. and government and re- gional tribunals should be authorized to pass on proposed railroad security issues to determine the necessity of new lines.
 Mir. Daniels also declared a scien- tific system of cost analysis should be developed to determine more accu- rately than at present the mainte- nance and depreciation costs, and real earnings of carriers

A WARNING AGAINST
 INDUSTRIAL ALARM

New York, Nov. 12.-Elbert H. Gary, head of the United States Steel Cor poration, today warned the American people to be on their guard against economic d9moralization depression and possibly panics" which might ac- company adjustments after world war
 In statement issued before he left for Washington to confer there to- morrow with the War Industries Board regarding steps necessary to re- turn the steel trade to a peace basis, MT. Gary cautioned the public to lex ercise prudence, delibcrl ton and courgage,' as much depends upon the attitude of the speech of men" He added that :;t is easy to precipitate a feeling of deEloralization and no more difficult to develop a sentiment of con ftdence and serenity"
 Asserting that although there would be reduction in purchases for military purposes which might interrupt the conduct of general business, Mr. Gary asserted that there still would be "a normal and certain volurle of busi- ness.' Any attempt to secure more than a proper share of this business he said, would impede rather than ac- celerate prosperity, so that I've must all trim our sails in accordance with the drift and amount of business"

soLF'S PLEA FOR PEACE
 HAS NOT REACHED WILL SON

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Tht new note addressed to President Wilson by Dr. Sof, the German foreign secretary, and asking that the president arrange immediately for a preliminary peace" had not reached Washington tonight in official form When it Goas come it will be considered in connection with the communication received today through the Swiss minister asking the president to intervene to mitigate the fearful conditions of the armistice.
 Dr. Solf's object in again addressing the president, it is assumed here. is to secure an immediate conference for the purpose of discussing some of the terms of the armistfce, which, in his first note he said threatened starv- ation and ruin in Germany.
 Officials are satisfied that Dr. Solf is needlessly alarmed. They point out that the terms of the arrnistice provide that the allies and the United States should give consideration to the pro- visioning of Germany during the armistice to the extent recognized as necessary ard it is said that to that end, such rolling stock and ships as may be necessary will be put into use

 Cancellation of all draft calls and inductions yesterday virtually has null litied the famous fight or work order promulgated last summer and undeR which thousands of men locked to es- sential industry on pain of immediate induction, though the local boards have been ordered to continue classi- flying after physical examination of men between IS and 36.

 The future of the student officers training units in universities and oth-
 CT schools also is being worked out.

MT Baker indicated that no definite decision has, yet been reached as to the future of various army divisions, now completely organized or being formed at cantonments in this coun- try. .'.-.-.:..

 COMPLETE INpEPENpENcR

Washington, Nov 12.-The Belgian legation, in an official statement to- day, announced that Btlgium no longer will submit to a status of guaranteed neutrality" hike that which existed before the war. It aspires to com plete independence; to the rights common to all free peoples"
 A return to the status quo of 1889" the statement said, will entail a per petual intrusion by Germany upon the domestic life of the nation and create a situation "intolerable to public opin- ion and certain to cause serious diffi- cuIties."
 "The note of Dec. A, 1917," said the statement. addressed by the Belgian government to the pope in reply to the pontilcial message, advances as one of indispensable conditions of a just peace, as far as Belgium is concerned, political, economic and military inde- pendence without condition or restric- tion
 These words are explicit. The Bel gian government is opposed to the re- establishment of obligatory, permanent naturalization, which would letter its freedom of action without 'insurfngs peace to the nation. It aspires to com plete Independence. to the rights coms mon to all free peoples
