GEN. BDDLE MAY
COMMAND
TROOPSNB BRITAIN

Though official announcement from
the War Department is lacking, it is
understood today that the important
assignment OF commanding officer OF
all American troops in England is to
go to Maj. Gen. John Biddle. Engineer
Commissioner OF the District from
1901 to 1917, and recently superseded
as acting chief OF staff by Maj. Gen.
Peyton March.
With training OF American units
always going on at English camps
and great augmentations of troops of
all branches assured for the present
year, the task OF supervising all
forces OF the United States in Great
Britain will be one OF great response
bility.
At present Mai. Gen. George T. Bart
lett is in command in England, hav-
ing charge of units including en-
gineers and heavy artillery. Before
General Bliss went to Europe as a
member of the supreme war council,
General Biddle was appointed chief OF
stan. He gave up this post as well
as that of acting chief on General
March's arrival.

CONCESSIONS
IN WEST MAY
Be OFFERED
INNEW TERMS

A new German peace maneuver,
subtly dangerous and as hitherto on
German military-made terms, is ap-
parently about to be foisted upon the
world, diplomatic authorities believed
today.
Rumors of it indicate that Ger
many will suggest retention OF the
plundered near-east while she gives
up her ambitions in the west.
Cold Welcome.
It probably will get stonier hear
. ing than any proposal to date. though
indications are that II will be so
framed as to stir UP the pacifists,
relegated to the background by the
aroused allied fighting spirit here and
abroad resulting from the Russian
Roumanian drives.
As usual, 1t will be timed to follow
a German victory" and II will put
forth victor's terms, according to in
dications.
II authorities here read the signs
Alright, II will make an appeal to that
group which believes Russia should
be left to her own fate. Lloyd George
practically washed his hands of any
responsibility for Russia when she
a
peace: and the Rome newspapers of
Baron Sonnino. Italian foreign minis
ter. strangely enough saw in Lloyd
Georges speech the thought that Ger
many should be given a free hand
with Russia IL only she would make
certain concessions in the west.
This idea, however, will have scant
support in this country, apparently.
especially in the light OF President
Wilson's pledge of United States aid
TO help free Russia OF the Teuton
yoke.
The especially dangerous element
In any peace drive at this time, how
ever, lies in the fact that the next
two or three months will find the
allies in common with the central
powers on shortened rations. and be-
cause of this a pacifst appeal may
have a broader appeal than other
wise. However, entente diplomats say
allied determination is sitter than
ever before, and that the war spirit
is growing fast upon this country.
The picture of plundered Russia,
OF game but helpless Roumania, OF
Armenia blood soaked and pledged
by Germany to the Turk, of devas-
tated Belgium and France are now
defeating peace proposals.

DELIVERY
BY ALL RAILROADS
BEING CONSIDERED

Washington may get back its free
storedoor delivery of all less than
carload class freight, which it lost
several years ago after a long and
bitter fight before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
A plan for freight delivery by all
OF the railroads OF the country is un-
der consideration by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the office
of the director general OF railroads.
II was brought forward when termin-
ais throughout the East, including
Washington, were so congested with
freight that il was impossible to
place and unload cars.
Commissioner Harland OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission. Is
now making an investigation in East
ern cities for the commission and the
director general His reports. II Is
understood. have been generally ia
vorable to the plan.
Experiments Success.
Experiments with storedoor deliv-
cry have been made in New York re-
Gently with gratifying success. They
were initiated as a result OF conges-
tIon in the terminals there. Baltimore
is similarly congested, and temporary
delivery there to meet the situation is
possible.
Washington is thoroughly familiar
with storedoor delivery. Such deliv-
cry prevailed here up to two years
ago. when It was ordered discontinued
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
The delivery had been a feature OF
railroad service here for years. and
it was never brought into question
until merchants in Anacostia and up
per Fourteenth street attacked the
delivery limits az unfair and a dis
elimination against them.
The free delivery limit was fixed
by the old city boundary.
Application Granted.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ordered the limits extended, and
the railroads filed application for
withdrawal OF the free delivery as a
privilege enjoyed by the Capital and
not by shippers in other localities.
After a long fight. in which the
Chamber Of Commerce. the Board of
Trade, and the Retail Merchants As
ISOLATION took part. the commission
ruled against free delivery here and
ordered its discontinusnce.
II is understood that the commits
sion and the office OF the Director
General is now inclined to look with
favor upon store door delivery as
feature Of railroad service. with the
roads under Government control. it
would be an easy matter to intro
duce such service generally. and so
that there would be no discrimina-
tion. No decision has yet been reach
ed, however
The Washington times., 1918-03-13

The Senate and House acted to-
gether yesterday in a way which
gives some little suggestion of what
all this means as soon as their re-
suits are brought together and COM

was listened to without contradic-
don. The defense of the Hoover
appropriation was that the Senate,
passing hasty legislation for war
purposes. had permitted excessive
expenditures-that it ought to
amend the laws. II 1t wished to check
excess. rather than strike out appro-
priations for what It had itself per
mitted.
According to testimony before the
Senate Committee on Agriculture,
Food Administrator Hoover is a
great success in reaching the object
of his "Meatless Days" Mr.. Ed
ward F. Keefer deposed to an es-
timated reduction of 30 per cent
in the consumption of good beef
that, is such beef as every one pays
for who can afford it Mr.. Keefer
is a cattle feeder, who also sells cat
tie in Chicago. He regarded Mr..
Hoover's creates. success as his own
greatest calamity. He said that on
January 1, this year, there were
more cattle in the country than for
a number of years past. 1t was
necessary to feed them rapidly for
market in order to use the soft
corn" that cannot be ground, and
NAV spoil. Prices paid by the pack
ers were reduced accordingly. Those
who feed cattle for market, paying
for high-priced corn, were losing
from $40 to $50 a head on good beef
cattle, while consumers were paying
the highest prices and the Food Ad-
ministration was persuading the
price of live cattle down further by
meatless days. With the packers hav-
ing all the advantage Of this situa-
tion, he was asked his remedy. He
had none to suggest except "a free
and open market"
Mr.. w. B. Doak. a practical farm
er from Fairfax county, Virginia,
had the same story to tell of "arbi-
trary regulations" demoralizing
business. He said that he was a
Democrat as his father was-that
he prayed "every day, or at least
every week" for the success Of the
Administration, but not for the sue
cess of arbitrary food regulation.
He illustrated by showing that when
he was getting $1.20 a bushel for
corn, he was charged $3.50 bushel
for meal. Going back to first prin-
ciples, he saved himself by setting
up an "ash-hopper" and converting
his corn into aye hominy." But this
remedy, which brought his family
through the winter. would not apply
to the country in general as against
arbitrary regulations"
The House took up and passed the
johnson anti-profteering BILL" and
the Senate received it for passage.
Its most marked injustice is failure
to allow for the rise in prices forced
by sudden increase in the currency.
Government has no right to penalize
"profiteering," due to such a cause,
as far as it is responsible for it.
