ROADS EARN $500, 600, 900
Amount For 1918 $25oooo,Ooo Less
Than That Secured In The
Previous Year

shington.-Railroads in 1918, un-
der government control and unusual
war conditions, earned about $718,000,-
900, or about $3.50, 900 900 less than in
1917, $4,000 900 less than in the rec
ord year of 1916, and about the same
as in 1915.
This became apparent on the basis
of definite reports to the interstate
commerce commission of earnings of
1915 principal railroads-those having
annual operating revenues of more
than 100000 for eleven months, and
unofficial calculation of December
earnings, which railroad administra-
ton reports indicate will be consider
ably smaller than those of the preced-
ing months. Although subject to
slight revision, the figures afforded the
first public view of the results of rail-
way operations last year, so far as
earnings are concerned
Receipts from freight, passenger, ex-
press and other transportation during
the year amounted to approximately
$4,s73, 900. 900, or $832,OOO,00O more
than in the previous year. Operat-
ing expenses jumped to about 1891.
100000, or about $1,119000,O00 more

LAND-GRAB GAME GETS
A BLACK EYE FROM
THE ALLIED POWERS

Paris.-A series of international
events of the highest order took form
at meetings of the council of the
great powers and the military COM
manders on all the fronts. These may
be summed up as follows:
First: The issuance of solemn
warning to the world that the pos
session of territory gained by force
will seriously prejudice the claims OF
those who use such means and set
up sovereignty by coercion. This
declaration was framed by President
Wilson.
Second: The appointment OF a
commission of the highest military au-
thority, including the British minister
of war, Marshal Foch, General DifS
and Gen. Taylor H. Bliss, to carry for
ward each rehabilitation and estab-
lish proportionate allied and associat-
ed forces on the western front.
Third: Discussion Of territorial
claims on conquered German colonies,
with hearings of interest to Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa on Ger
man East Africa and the German
island groups of the Pacific.
Fourth: Approval of the council of
the striking of a medal for all troops
takin gpart in the war.

Paris.-"The belief is expressed in

the permanent chairman, insisting on

RUSSIANS TO MEET ENJOYS
Conference Fixed For February 10 Al
Princes Islands And Pership
viii Represent v. S.

Paris.-Led by President Wilson
the supreme council Of the great pow
ers moved to unite 1.-THE factions Of
distracted Russia and bring them into
the peace congress.
They unanimously adopted a prop.
osition brought forward by President
Wilson asking all the Russian fac
tions, including the BOlshevists, to
meet the allied and associated gov
ernments at Princes Islands in the
Sea of Marmora on February Is, the
contending factions meantime declar-
ing truce and suspending all mill
tary operations.
The joint commission of the asso-
ciated governments will be announced
as soon as the Russian factions &C
cept the proposal which was com
municated to them by wireless. The
Russian commission will proceed to
the meeting place, probably on a war
ship, by way of the Black sea and
the Bosphorus
General John J. Pershing, the
American commandments has
been called to Paris, and it is ex-
pected that he will be the military
member of the American representa-
tives of the joint commission.
Aside from the importance of the
conclusions reached it was especial
ly notable as being the first time that
the voice of the United States had
taken the direction in the concert of
European powers on the most serious
European question now presented.
There was added significance in the
fact that an American president in
person had taken leadership in the
council made up chiefly Of European
statesmen and had pointed a way
which they had unanimously adopted
The final result came after three
lays of continuous discussion of Rus
ia, which did not crystalline until the |
inal hours, when President Wilson
presented in writing the plan he had
Elaborated.

HUGE WHEAT LOSS
FOR GOVERNMENT
It May Run to 100000, 900 as Result
Of Price-Fixing, Says Secretary
Houston.

Denver, Colo.-Federal regulation
Of the livestock and meat packing in
dustry was advocated by Secretary OF
Agriculture Houston in an address be-
fore the convention of the American
National Livestock association in ses.
sion here
1--we got beyond the point of argu-
ing about regulation of stock yards.
We do not want the distribution of
meat from the time production is
planned on the range unul.the finish
ed product is delivered 10 the con-
sumner, left in the hands of a few
men," he said. THE packers tell us
that they are more efficient and can
do this work better than anyone else,
but that is what paternalists always
have said. For my part, l want less
of paternalism and more freedom"
Mr. Houston also urged the stock
raisers to consider means of supply
ing the future meat demands of the
United States. He estimated that
within 20 years the population of the
United States will increase 20,000000
and said the stock raisers must de-
wise means Of supplying this increas-
ed population.
Concerning the agricultural situa-
ton for the coming year, the secre-
tary said it was impossible to. pre-
dict what the demand would be.
Wheat production he estimated at
from 100000, 100000 to 100000, 900
bushels. The demand from abroad,
he said, was problematical and al
though the government might not lose
anything because of the maximum
wheat price guarantee it probably
would have to pay out of the treasury
rom $3OO,OOOOOO to $500, $1,000 to
meet the guarantee.

SINN FEM PROCLAiMS
REPUBLIC OR IRELAND
Half OF Members Recently Elected
To Parliament Present-Other
Half In Jail

| Dublin-The Sim Fein assembly
met at the mansion house here. The
assembly stood while a declaration of
independence was read, announcing
the establishment of an Irish repub-
lie and demanding the evacuation of
Ireland by the British garrisons.
The first business of the assembly
was the election of chairman, after
which prayers were said by the Rev.
Father O'Flanagan Of Roscommon.
A crowd of perhaps a thousand, in
Guiding many women and children,
wearing green, white and yellow rib
bons, pressed around the door of the
mansion house, watching the dele
gates enter. Only two policemen were
visible, but the Sim Fein had its own
police-youths wearing white arm
bands-to keep order.
Another crowd of different types
was on hand-repatriated war prison
ers of the Dublin Fusileers. They
had been entertained at lunch in the
mansion house, and their friends and
the public generally were waiting out
side to cheer them.
About half the Sim Feiners elected
to membership in the British parlia-
ment are participating, the other nalf
being in various English prisons charg-
ed with sedition or merely held on sus-
picion under the spacious and elastic
provisions of the defense of the realm
act.

WARNING IS GIVEN
SOUTH'S FARMERS
MUST HAVE ALL LAND AVAIIk
BILE TO PRODUCE SUI
FIcIENT FOOD
Diversified CROPS URGED
Demand For Cotton In Anamalous
Condition, Depending on Recon-
struetion OF Europe

Washington.-Farmer of the South
are advised, in a statement issued by
the department of agriculture, that ii
will be wise to adjust cotton acreage
this year so as 10 have available suf-
ficient land to produce enough food
and feed for their families and live
stock IF industrial conditions in all
the cotton-consuning countries do not
reach normal, and If the industry is
not restored, the consumption of cot
ton will be substantially less than pre-
war average requirements" says the
statement. With practically complete
restoration, cotton consumption may
we'll be expected to equal the normal
or pre-war times on account OF the
present shortage of cotton goods in
various countries. The economies
which the peoples of Europe must prac-
tice for some years to come must be
considered"
Average Requirements 100000 Bales
Average requirements outside the
United States are given as 100000
bales; domestice requirements $780,
600 bales. The American 1918 crop is
estimated at 100000 bales. After
domestic consumption requirements
are taken care of, there will be an
exportable surplus Of 100000 bales
Other producing countries have an
estimated surplus Of about 3,1SO,O0O |
bales, making total present surplus
stocks for the world about eight mil |
lion two hundred and eighty thousand |
bales, against 100000 bales in re-
quirements.
A Considerable Carry-Over Predicted
The apparent deficit, therefore, is
4, 100000 bales, the departments
statement runs, but from this gross
amount should be deducted the carry
over at the end of the 1888 season.
Unless there is a very marked in
crease in exports, there will be a
carry-over. Estimates of
he carry-over are placed at 100000
,ales. With a carry-over of that mag
litude the apparent deficit is reduced
O 10000 bales. Pointing out that
he 1918 yield was greatly decreased
" unfavorabale weather, the depart
nent's statement says the same acre
ge this year, with average weather,
,ill produce at least two million bales
lore than the 1918 crop.

envy peoples, so that nationalities

allies may be aided. All amendments
designed to limit the power of Presi-
dent Wilson or Food Administrator
Hoover in distribution of the fund were
rejected recently by the senate, and
no final effort was made for the addi-
ton.
The opposition comprised three
Democrats, Senators Gore of Oklaho-
ma, Hardwick of Georgia and Myers
of Montana, and fifteen Republicans:
Borah, Calder, Fernald, France, Har-
ding, Johnson of California, Kenyon,
LaFollette, McNary, Moses, Penrose,
Poindexter, Sherman, Townsend and
Watson. Senator Cummings of Iowa,
Republican, and Thomas of Colorado,

negative.

CHINA TO DEMAND
REVISION OF PACT
FORCED BY JAPAN
Claims Treaties Strike At Independ.

Standardization of the Chino
Japanese treaties of 1915, signed af
ter the presentation by Japan of her
twenty-one demands, will be asked at
the peace conference by the Chinese
delegation, according to an official
statement issued here by the China
agency.
'The Chinese people," says the
statement, assert that the Chino-Jap-
anese treaties of 1915 are in principle
as much a war settlement demanding
revision by the peace conference as
the treaties of Brest-Litovsk and of
Bucharest.
Like these latter settlements the
Chino-Japanese treaties contain terms
and conditions demanded by one of
the belligerent powers in order - to
quote the opening sentence of Japan's
ultimatum MAY 7, 1915 under whose
duress and coercion China was forced
to sign the documents-'to adjust mat
tiers tor meet the new situation created
by the war between Japan and Ger
many
THE parallel between the two sets
of war transactions runs in other d.
rectfons. One more may be cited
Like the acts of Brest-Litovsk and of
Bucharest. the ChinoJapanese trea.
ties impose on state, since associat-
ed with America and the allies against
the central powers, exactions wholly
inconsistent with the free and unfet-
tered development of China as a mod.
