MARCH RAIL LOSS
is $59,952,OOO
Raise in Rates Causes 10 Per
Cent. Traffic Decrease.
Government Says.

WASHINGTON, May ls-Railroad earn
ings for March as tabulated By the Rail-
road Administration show a net income
for the Federally controlled roads for
the month of March of S14,0s5, 900. al
though the average monthly compens "a :
ton amounts to approximately SRA
$4,000, making net loss to the Gov
eminent for the month of s5e952, 900.
Figures recently made public based on
statistics gathered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission covering the
Federal controlled roads and n small
mileage OF non-Federal lines, gave the
net income for March as S1O.s42,oOO.
Operating revenues for the month of
March. as estimated by Railroad Admin
istration statist!cians. amounted to So
100000. or s10,465. 900 more than dur
ing March. 1918. Operating expenses
last March were s342.152, 900, or more
than in March. 1918. The net operating
revenues thus are shown to be $29.3G7,-
600. a decrease of $52,63e,0O0 from
March of year ago.
The Railroad Administration ex
planned that as present rates are about
rs per cent higher than a year ago, the
Increase in operating revenues shows
that the total traffic has fallen of ap-
proxirhately Is per cent in comparison
with a year ago. Freight traffic has de.
creased more than n per cent. over a
year ego, but due to rehabilitation
of troops the Railroad Administration
estimates that passenger revenues have
increased slightly
The freight business shows a slight
increase over last month" the Railroad
Administration review said. but this IS
not as large as is usual at this time OF
year under normal Industrial coudi-
tons"

SHOULD you sign the Japanese pro-
posal you must receive the same treat

The Assembly is extremely disap-

that you will yet effect a change in the
situation. II necessary. withdraw from

moral support OF the people at home"
Chinese colonies and associations in
all parts of the world are showering the

sages is such that responsible delegates.
like c. T. Wang. President of the Chi
nese Senate. say II will be quite impos-
sible to sign unless the delegation re-
ceives written assurance of the ulti-
mate return OF the Shantung political

STEEL BIDS HALT
WARSHIP BUILDING
Eleven Companies Submit
Practically Identical Offers
for Four Big Vessels.
CONTRACTS ARE PUT OFF
Conflict of Industrial Board
and Railroad Administration
Takes New Turn.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Eleven steel
companies submitted practically iden-
teal bids to-day for $4,000 tons of
steel plates and shapes for the navy,
duplicating the situation which caused
the rejection Of bids on the same mate
rial submitted on April 4.
The steel Is required for the construc-
ton OF four bsttleships. two at the
New York Navy Yard. one at the Nor
folk Navy Yard and one at the Mare
Island. California, Navy Yard, and navy
officials are concerned over the possi-
bility Of further delay in awarding the
contracts, as II might imperil the au-
thorization of two Of the ships which
have not yet been started. Under the
law actual construction Of these vessels
must begin before July or the author
lzation for them lapses.
While some of the steel companies
resubmitted detailed bids on the material
today. others referred the Navy Depart
rent to their old bids submitted on April
: The fromer bids were based on the
seel prices fixed by the Department of
Commerce's industrial board. and be-
rause Of the Identical proposals OF the
various companies all were rejected, the
law requiring that material for tho navy
be obtained by competitive bids.
At the time the original bids were
submitted the Industrial board was en-
gagged in a controversy with the Rail-
road Administration regarding the mat
Ter OF Federal adjustment OF steel prices.
Since that time the board has been dis
solved and no further effort has been
made TO fix the pSice Of steel.
While no final Action will be taken
IN the matter until after Secretary Dan
els returns from Europe, 1t was said at
The Navy Department to-day that all of
the new bids probably would be rejected
and the contracts readvertised. In this
went 1t probably would be necessary
for the Secretary to go before the extra
session of Congress and ask that the
time limit OF beginning construction on
the ships be extended beyond July /.
Bids for 100000 tons OF steel rails
we're asked to-day by the Railroad Ad-
ministrauon in line with Director Gen.
eral Illness announcement of policy
after the final disagreement on a stand
ard price in conference last week with
steel producers. The bids will be re-
ceived next Saturday and contracts will
be let at once.
In view of the controversy between
the Railroad Administration and the de-
funct Industrial Board Of the Depart
inent of Commerce over steel prices, I'M
usual interest attaches to the bids which
will be submitted. The standard price
for open hearth steel rails as announced
by the Industrial Board was S+7 a ton.

WAsHINGToN. May 13.-Increasinsly
frequent revolts by peasants in the
country districts of Russia against Boil
shevist oppression and tyranny were
reported to-day to the State Department

consul at Petrograd. recently released
from internment at Tashkent.
Severe reprisals against many towns
and villages have resulted from these
uprisings." Consul Treadweil reported.
He added that newspapers in Bolshevist
territory barely mentioned the out
breaks, so that news OF the real feeling
OF the peasants failed to reach the out
side world.
Consul Treadwell only recently sue

DENMARK PROTESTS
ACQUIRING GERMANS
Doubts Value of Citizens Who
Wish to Escape Taxes.

WAshINGroN. May Denmark
looks with apprehension upon the ac-
curing Of a large number Of German
citizens through the REIMBURSEMENT of
the German-Danish frontier by the peace
treaty.
The Danish Legation received to-day
the following cabiegram from Copen-
hagen:
Both chambers Of the Danish Par
iament yesterday in joint confidential
sitting discussed the situation created by
tne peace condition about Slesvig
tschieswig). The following resolution
was adopted by a majority consisting
OF the Left party. the Radical party,
Socialists and Prof. Brick of the Con-
sentative party:
while the Danish Parliament ex-
presses It's satisfaction at the prospect
that the coming peace will bring the full
niment OF the national hopes of the
Danish people, It insists on It's resolution
OF october 70. 1918. and on the wishes
expressed toward the allied and ASSOC
ciated Powers In Paris with regard to
the voting zone in Slesvig by the Par
hamentary delegation representing all
parties and by the representatives of the
Danish Electors Association In Slesvig.' "
BY the decision of the Paris confer
ence. expressed through the Council of
Ten, provision was made for righting
the wrong done by Germany to Dem
mark nearly three-Quarters of a century
ago In SEEKING the provinces of Schles-
wig-Holstein. I'm view OF the great
changes that have taken place in the
population OF those provinces however,
the council provided for division Of
the former Danish provinces into three
separate zones In which pleblscites were
to be taken at different periods to de-
termine the wishes OF the people as to
sovereignty.
In Danish circles here II was ex-
planned to-day that although the south
ern zone nearest Germany probabl had
become almost entirely Germanized the
population possibly would vote to ad-
here to Denmark to escape German tax
aticn. and Denmark would thereby have
as part Of her population people not
bound by ties OF love but by expediency.
