conditions had been imposed which the German people never could full fill.
 Calling attention that Russia was not included in the peace settlement, he continued:
 Think you Germany - smarting and staggering under the terms of this treaty-wiu supinely rest con tent with the dole of grace and sui ferance we are vouchsafing her, the crumbs from her Victors' table That people will no more cease to plot and plan to recover their former high estate than did Satan plunged into the abysmaI depths of Hell. Whether they are in the league. if formed, or out of it, Germany s agents, secretly or openly, will be at work with her former allies and with injured Russia and with Japan. As Russia goes, so will go the whole Slavic and affiliated peoples. And if Germany succeeds in this Western Europe at least must perish
 Stripped of its idealistic phrases, he said. the treaty really was an all liaEce among five great powers against whom Germany would try to bring a stronger alliance. The real interest of France, he said, was in gaining the friendship and not the enmity of the German people.
 '.The instrument before us,' he said. ''is not the treaty but the truce of Versailles.
 Tt takes Germany's territory, Eu- ropean and foreign, without compcal- sation; it takes from her practically all of her ocean shipping and a large portion of her inland vessels; il de- prives her of all special benefits Of treaties and conventions; it takes her ca bIes: it compels her to supply large quantities of raw materials;it interna- tionalizes her great river systems and throws them open to traffic of all na- tions on a national basis as if they were the high seas; it opens her coastwise shipping to all nations; it compels her to grant exceptional i'm port and export privileges and to ac- cept important restrictions; it closes out German interests in practically the whole civilized world: it closes out the interests of that same world in Germany.
 Having done all this, it assesses against her provisionalIy with a s,ipuIat ton permitting an increase, d
 
 lion gold marks which is in addition to the property restored in kind and to the value of the boats, gold and securities delivered; it makes her re- sponsible for these damages inflicted not only by herself but by her allies and even by the allied and associated powers themselves with list of items which include and some admittedly contrary to the rules of international law hitherto existing; finally and in addition, she is compelled to answer to her own nationals for the value of the property taken by the allied and associated powers.
 The United States is bound up in every one of the obligations and du- ties incident to the enforcement of these terms with the great responsi- bilit3es attached thereto.''

Hines, director general of railroads, that if they did not operate trains by a. m. tomor- row the railroad administration would undertake to do so.
 San Francisco yardmen, out about 3G hours. agreed to return to work at s o'clock this morning. Strikers at san Jose, Tracy and Oakland re- turned to work last night.
 The Brotherhood leaders announced they will meet the strikers today in Los Angeles and will place before them the ultimatum of Walker D. Hines, director general of the rail roads, that the trains must be ruNning by : a. m. tomorrow.
 The Brotherhood leaders wee in session most of the night. They con- ferred among themselves and with railroad officials who told them the strikers could return to work without prejudice 10 any of their rights and with the understanding their former contracts would be fulfilled.
 Resumption of work at Los Angeles awaited approval of meetings today of union officers and locals they rep resented. At San Beruadino. where members of the Big Four Brother hoods are out, the engineers were said to have expressed a willingness to return 10 work but were bound by an agreement that all four crafts would return together while other crafts continued To oppose a return.
 Meanwhile. trafhc continued vir- tuaIly paralyzcd from Albuquerque,N. M, and Yuma to Los Angeles and for a considerable distance north and south pF that point on all lines. No allevtation was reported from desert towns dependent upon rail transpor- tation for water for domestic pur- poses. Automobiles still were being ,used to handle mail in many in- stances.
 Washington. Aug. 29-Although it was thought that the drastic action threatened by Director General Hines together with the supporting stand taken by officials of the Brotherhood involved would hasten the return to normal conditions, developments to- dav in the railroad strike situation in California and other west am states were being awaited with keen inter- est here.

STATE IMPRESSED
 WITH UNUSUAL FEATURES OF CASE

Burlington. Vt, Aug. 29-Attorney General Frank A. Archibald, States Attorney Allen Martin and Chief of Police ?. J. Russell, were in confer ence this morning for more than an hour regarding the developments in the mysterious shooting of William C. Stacy Sunday night.
 At the conclusion of the conference none of the officials would be quoted as to the progress of the investigation but the fact that the attorney general has made two trips here within as many days with the intention of con- sulting on this case both times, proves that the state is impressed with the unusual features in the case and have not adopted the temporary finding of the medical examiner that it was a case of suicide as their own.
 The attorney general has not di- vulged any decision in the case but expects within a few days to have reached a conclusion.

U-BOAT CAPTAIN
 RELATES ESCAPE
 FROM BALTIMORE
Tells How He Escaped Dur ing First Trip Nets of
 Fishing Boats.

Berlin, Aug. 29. - Though allied warships fingered outside Norfolk, Va, and fishing beats with nets sought to entangle him, Capt. Paul konig, master of the U-Bost Deutsch- land, made his escape safely on his frsr journey to America.
 He has just written an account of the outward voyage in the Bremen Nachrichteu:
 About two to three days after our arrival in Baltimore CAugust 1916) came news that three cruisers were plying at the entrance to Chesapeake Bay" he wrote. A few days later we had information that two English and two French cruisers were operating at the entrance in the daytime, but with drew further out at night These cruisers apparently knew the path we took in and were anxious to catch us on the outward journey.
 We learned, too, that some fishing boats that ordinarily did not remain in the channel had stopped there and put out q very long net, hoping to en- tangle our gears therein. l ascer- tained, too, that a finn in Boston had supplied a dozen microphones to Eng fish account. What a triumph it would have been for the English if they could have captured us"'
 konig declared that he was bit sceptical about American neutrality and fearful lest the Americans should not prevent the Britiih from coming within the three mile limit.
 On Aug. 1 the Deutschland took It's departure. Konig said that he had hoped to avoid press boats, but had not been able to do so. However, he rejoiced as night came on and he lost his press pursuers. But when he reached Newport News he was hailed by press boat.
 That night he made for the three mile limit, submerging and emerging several times. He spied fishing boa ts in the distance and altered his course. Also an American destroyer passed overhead. Having taken a new course when he spied the fishing boats, he turned on his electrical engines, and when he ascertained that there were no sounds of enemy craft he headed out to sea at some distance from where the fishing boats were sta- toned.
 Tn the little messroom of the Deutschland I drank a bottle of wine with the officers and engineers which mad been given us by German Ameri- -an friends" he concluded. ''we frank to a safe tourney. Twenty-two '---s la+e~ ---e came into the port of Bremen safely"
