PUTS APRIL RAILWAYS
DEFICIT AT $4,000. 900
Hines Says Rates viii Not Be
Raised at Present.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Director- Gem
eral Hines estimated to-day that the
railroad administration incurred a def
cit OF approximately $5S.o00, 900 in April,
making q total dc fcit OF $3.50, ,000, 900 for
the f1rst four months OF the year.
The director general reiterated, howA
over, his previously expressed judgment
tina. present economic conditions were
too unsettled to AFFORD a safe basis for
decision as to the necessity for increased
rates to offset the difference between
income and operating cost. For the
present there will be no raise. he added,
the administration confning itself to
practising every possible economy.
The net operating income for April
was about s26, ,00O, 900. as compared with
$71. 200. 900 for April last year. and an
average OF s67.102.6sl for April during
the three year test period, on which the
compensation to the roads Is based.
"In April" Mr.. Hines said, ''as in
January, February and March. this un-
favors BILE showing WAS due in large part
also due In part to the heavy increases
In wages and cost of materials. The
Railroad Administration Is not unlike
other industrial undertakings in the In
creases in wages and costs OF materials,
but is unlike these other enterprises In
that the latter have made high cores
pondlng increases in the prices OF what
they sell, while the Railroad Admins
tration has made an increase In trans
portation rates of only rs per cent,
which is a far less percentage than the
increase In wages and cost OF materials" +"

GERMANY SEES
H0PEIN UNREST
Believes Basis Has Been Gre
ated for Verbal Negotia-
ti0ns in Peace Terms.
INTERVENTION IS HINTED
Counter Proposals Held as
Gain in Connection with
Recent Disturbances.
By re associated Press.

BERLIN, June (delayed) while the
German correspondents at Versailles
continue to take a gloomy view Of the
forthcoming answer to the German
counter proposals, official circles in
Berlin judged wholly by surface indi-
cations. appear more hopeful regard
ing the further trend of events.
Tho slight tone Of optimism which has
projected itself Into the Berlin estimates
OF the situation arc born OF the convic-
tion that basis for verbal negotiations
gradually Is being created, a position
for which Count Won Brockdorff- Ran tzau
and his colleagues in the Peace Com
mission have been man9uvring diligently
since the first notes were exchanged
suspicion prevails In some quarters in
the Wilhelmstrasse that the Entente
probably will avail itself of neutral in
tervention by way of breaking the ice.
Political observers here believe that
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau at prs.
sent holds slight strategic advantage
for reasons outside those that might be
contained In his counter proposals. The
trace of optimism which has been as
sorting itself in the last forty-eight
hours Is explained by events which It is
believed here will ultimately work out
to Count Won Brockdorff- Rantxau's ad-
vantage These factors are to be found
in the Paris strike. fresh Polish ag-
grandizement French Vaccinations IN
Rhenish Prussia and the reported Amer
lean and British opposition to the En-
tente terms, all OF which. 1t Is believed
IN Berlin. are consplring to bring ths
Entente's alleged adamantine front into
immediate jeopardy.
Germany's optimism Is by no means
overreach!ng itself. II Is based. rather.
on the modest expectation that in view
OF the liberality and boldness OF the
German counter draft the Entente lead
ers will not dare to assume the moral
responsibility OF slamming the door IN
the face OF Count Won Brockdorff- Rant
Eau and his fellow ENJOYS.

LONDON, June 6.-The following ed-

Of the way the British people will re-
ceive the making OF concessions to the
Germans in the treaty:
"Astonishment and anger would All
the overwhelming majority of the British
peoples could they credit the rumors from
Paris that the Prime Minister is weak

face Of the German counter proposals.
Nothing could be more discreditable to a
British statesman than such weakening.
Nothing could more fatally impair his
credit in this country or the credit of
the Empire with our Allies and with
the world.
There is strong ground for belief that
Mr.. Lloyd George has OF late been in
clined to take up an attitude toward the
Germans far less consistent than that of
President Wilson and OF NJ. Clemenceau.
We expect, and the people OF this coun-
try expect. the British Prime Minister
to be at least as Arm in his treatment
of the enemy as his two principal as

Reports that the Bulgarian army was
secretly mobilizing on the Serbian from

several times in the last three months.
The purpose OF the mobilization was
never explained. nor have recent de-
spatches indicated any reason for strife
between Bulgaria and Serbia
The reported movement Of the Bull

the peace terms as anticipated in Bull
garia. The Bulgarian treaty has not
