by railroad employees, who laid be-
fore the Senate Commerce Committee
a cooperative plan, whereby they

being put out by Wall Street interests
in favor of private control.
Under Government ownership. rail-
road wages have increased nearly
$500, 100000. including the increase
granted under the Adamson law. The
original $500, ,OOO, 900 revolving fund is
exhausted. Rates have been increas-
cd Private owners point to these
facts as argument against Govern
ment control.
Director General Hines. who ap-
poses Government ownership, how
ever comes back with the assertion
that conditions have been extraor-
dinary-the railroads were operated
for the purpose of winning the war,
not to save money. With war time
ernment given a chance to operate
the roads under normal conditions as
a fair test.
Americas railroads represent the
staggering total of $4,000, 900, 900 in
securities. Financing is impossible
until their owners know what will
be done with the roads. It will be up
TO the voters to decide in November,
1870.

Government ownership Of railroads
will be one OF the chief campaign
issues in 1920. II the people want il,
they are going TO set a chance to say
so.
This session OF Congress is going to
do nothing with the railroad problem,
other than give Director General
walker d. Hines his $3.50 900, 900 re-
volving fund for financing the roads
The next Congress probably is going
TO provide that the railroads will not
be returned TO private ownership for
two years from the signing OF peace.
The law now requires that they be
returned twenty-one months from that
date.
Peace is expected about June. Two
years from that date will be June
1921, three months after the President
and Congress elected in November,
1920, will take office. The three
months extra that will he given by
the next Congress will just carry the
present control far enough into the
new Administration to give il a
chance TO enact some sort of railroad
legislation, while the existing bill
would automatically return the roads
to private ownership about the time
the new President and Congress will
be taking office.
Want Tw6-YeaF Control.
Railroad owners want two-year
control. Director General Hines,
many members OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and others inter-
ested, favor former Director General
NcAdOo's suggestion, that the control
be extended five years to give Con-
greSs time to study real railroad legis
lation. But neither this Congress nor
the next will enact such legislation.
They will leave the question open so
that If the people want Government
ownership, they will have a chance to
indicate as much at the polls in No
vember. 1920.
Already, there is a powerful pro-
psganda going on in favor Of Govern

covered the following main subjects
Of general order: First, response

second, responsibility for the crimes
committed during the war; third,
legislation in regard to international
labor.
All the powers represented would
be invited to present memoirs on
these three questions. The powers
having particular interests, M.
Clemenceau continued, would be
asked to present further memoirs
upon territorial, financial and eco
nomical questions.
"The league of nations will be
placed at the head of the order Of
the day Of the next full session." M.

cluded his address. He paused for

none was made, he declared the
session adjourned.
1t was 4:30 o'clock. and the open

Fontenelle Carpenter
Made Miniature Model
Of U. S. Army Airplanes

A miniature aeropiane, an exact
reproduction of the planes used by
American airmen abroad, has been
modelled by Jay Toney, house car
penter of the Fontenelle hotel. The
machine is on display in the hotel
lobby where it flies through the air
suspended on charged wires from
the ceiling.
Mr.. Toney made his drawings for
the snachine from a. tHo-inch draw
ing on the Cover 81 d magazine
which he enlarged eleven times
The frame of the machine is made
of light wood and the propellers
were Whitfield out. of wood. The
wings of the machine are braeed
with a wood frame work as they
are in a large machine. The other
parts are made of paper finished
with a coat of shellac. The motor
is of about the size used in small
electric fan. The machine weighs
four ounces and measures "a inches
from tip to tip and is % inches in
length. 1t is complete in every dee
tail from the American insignia on
the wings to the landing wheels.
Mr.. Toncy has been offered $500
for the machine. He has refused
all offers for it and has applied for
a patent. His intention is to manu-
facture the machines for toys or sell
the patent to a toymaker.

contempt for national will, the
arbitrary exchange of provinces be-
tween states, as though peoples
were but articles of furniture OF
pawns in a game.
The time is no more when diplo-
matists could meet to redraw the
map of empires on the corner of a
table. If you are to tremake the
may of the world it is in the name
of the peoples, and one condition
is that you shall faithfully interpret
their thoughts and respect the right
of nations, small and great, to dis
pose of themselves and to reconcile
with this the equally sacred right OF
clinical and religious minorities--a
formidable task which science and
history, your two advisers, will con-
tribute to assist and facilitate.
you will naturally strive to Sc
cure the material and moral means
OF subsistence for all those people
who are constituted or reconstructed
into states, for those who wish to
unite to their neighbors, for those
who reorganize themselves, for
those who divide themselves accord
ing to their regained traditions, and
lastly for all those whose freedom
you have already sanctioned or are
about to sanction. You will not call
them into existence to sentence
them to death Immediately because
you would like your work to be
fruitful and lasting.
Will Establish League.
while introducing into the
world as much harmony as possible
you will, in conformity with the
18th Of the propositions, unanimous
ly adopted by the great allied pow
ers, establish general league of
nations which will be the supreme
guarantee against any fresh assault
upon the right of peoples. You do
not intend this international asso-
citation to be directed against any
body in the future. 1t will not, of
set purpose, shut out anybody,
but having been organized by the
nations that have sacrificed them
selves in the defense of right, it will
receive from them its statutes and
fundamental rules.
This very day 48 years ago--on
the 18th of January, 187l-the Ger
man empire was proclaimed by an
army of invasion in the chateau
at Versailles. 1t was consecrated
by the theft of two French prov
inces. It was thus q violation from
its origin and, by the fault Of its
founders, it was born in injustice.
It has ended in oblivion.
"You are assembled TO repair the
evil and to prevent a recurrence.
You hold in your hands the future
of the world. / leave you, gentle
men, to your grave deliberations and
declare the conference of Paris
open"
