RAILROADS LOSE
MANY MILLIONS
TOTAL DEFICIT UNDER GOVERN.
MENT OPERATION AMOUNTS
TO $41s,0o0,o00.

Washington. Director General
Hines in a discussion of recent rail-
road earnings disclosed that:
The governments deficit in operat-
ing the railroads for the first three
months this year, or the difference
between net earning and one-fourth
OF the guaranteed annual cofnpensa-
ton. was about 1892, OOO, 900 for all
roads under federal management.
The governments loss for 1918
was s226,OO0,OOO.
The entire government loss incur.
red in Is months of federal operation
was s41S,OO0,OOO.
Marked reduction of freight traf-
fic under records Of similar periods
of the last two years was RESPONSE
Bile for the bad financial showing and
conditions in April show no promise
of improving.
Despite the big government def
cts the director general does not
contemplate any general increase in
the level of rates.
The government also incurred a de-
f1cit of about $14,540,0O0 in eight
months operation of the American
Railway Express Company. the con.
solidated express corporation, up to
March 1, 1919.
"The present unfavorable results
naturally lead to agitation of the
question whether there ought TO De
an increase of rates." said Mr.. Hines
in his statement. my own judgment
is that the present conditions are too
abnormal to serve as a basis for any
general change in the level of rates
and that it is preferable to defer ac-
ton on that subject until there shall
have been a. fuller opportunity to get
a more reliable and possibly a more
normal measure of the conditions.
meanwhile resorting to every practi-
cal economy, studying the situation
with the greatest care and keeping
the public fully informed as to devel-
Opments."

ALLIED Terms ARE
GIVEN TO GERMANS
TEUTONS HANDED DOCUMENT
CONTAINING 10000 WORDS
MEETING AT VERSAILLES.

versailles. - Germany has been
told the terms upon which the allied
and associated powers will make
peace with her.
These terms were contained in n
treaty containing about $4,000 words.
which was handed to the German
plenipotentiaries at a memorable as
semblage here, attended by the dele
gates Of the q nations which are par
ties to the peace pact.
This notable document, on which
the leading statesmen of the various
nations. together with swarm O, ex-
perts from the principal countries in
volved, have been working since the
converting of the peace conference
on January Is. is introduced by an
extensive preamble, embodying the
association of authority upon which
the treaty is based.
Immediately following is the first
chapter. the covenant Of the League
of Nations, the text Of. which already
has been printed. OF the IA principal
sections one contains stipulations
with regard to frontiers which ma
terially change the map of Europe.
Military. naval and air terms are
dealt with in another section, while
still another is devoted to the SUD-
ject of reparations. Political stipula-
lions for Europe, on the one hand,
and outside ~
dealt with in separate divisions CT
the document.
The treaty has to do with Germany
alone. except so far as it is required
that Germany accept agreements
made by the allies with the other
central powers. The treaty is not
printed in German. The text Is in
French and English, on opposite
pages.
The terms of the treaty spell the
end of Germany as a military power.
She is deprived of practically all her
fleet. her army Is cut down to nomi-
nal dimensions and she is sharply re-
stricted along lines through which
she might seek to work militarily TO
rehabilitate herself. Economically.
also, the future course of Germany
is hedged about with stipulations in
tended to insure her ability to paw
the indemnity demanded by the al
lies, but to prevent her from exploit
ing her old resources as 'strangling
competitor of the nations about her
which she overran and devastated
during the war.

Where VIII Armenia Be?

[Isaac Don Levine in Asia Magazine1
The Armenians realize that with
out outside help they cannot expect
to set up a durable government, but
they wish it to come from interna-
tional authority. However, even
with aid of the Allies and the United
States it would be a most difficult
task to define Armenia's exact boun-
daries, ethnographically. If Armenia
should be reconstructed on historic
lines, then against three million Ar
menians it would comprise at least
five millions of Kurds, Turks,
Greeks, Persians and other races.
1t is possible to carve out an eth
nographic Armenia in which the Ar
m enians would be in the majority,
but in order to do so successfully
the Armenians would have to for
get their historical claims and con-
sent to the creation of an autonomous
Kurdish state in Kurdistan. AS the
Kurds in Armenia are still largely
nomadic, the erection of an auto
nomous Kurdistan would reabsorb
the Kurds who migrated from there
to settle on the Armenian plateau.
An ethnographic Armenia would
include those parts of Georgia and
AZerbaijan, where the Arm enians
predominant, although historically
these parts are not Armenian; it
would necessarily fail to include cer-
tain historical sections of Armenia
where the Kurds now predominant.
