On the eve of the assembling of the
German national convention In Wei
mar, the Ebert government seemed
firmly seated in the place Of power.
though there was Il possibility of COM
binations that would dominate it, The
Spartacans were in Il hopeless minor
fty, however, and there was every rea-
son TO believe the revolution" would
run the course laid OUT for it by the
old-time leaders. who never have relin-
GuiShed control actually. That The
change of form of government has not
wrought miraculous change of the
German heart or the German intention
to rule is the opinion of General Gou-
raud. the French commander. as it is
of many less well Informed persons.
This view Is borne out by the increas-
inely insolent attitude of the con-
quered Huns, and by their naive sur
prise and Indignation when they rea-
lized that they might not be admitted
to membership in the league of nations
Immediately and on an equality with
the nations that saved civilization
from their criminal assault.

One important point concerning pay.
ment by Germany is reported to have
been settled by the peace conference.
1t was decided that while Germany
must make full reparation for unjusti-
fable damage done, she and her asso-
ciates will not be called on to pay
heavy indemnities to reimburse the VIC
torious nations for their war expenses.
Nor will Germany be compelled to re-
linquish the indemnity she took from
France in 1871. Belgium's reparation
claims will have first consideration.

THE CUHaINs RAILROAD PLAN.

Realizing that the railroad question is Of the
important problems before the country today Sen
ator Cummins, Of Iowa, who is the chairman Of the
Interstate Commerce committee in the sixy-sixth con-
gress has public the outline OF MS plans for leg
slaton on disposition the railroads The main fea
lures of the plan are that the roads De organized
fifteen twenty systems although the regional
PLAN second that the government should guarantee the
roads fixed minimum earnings for example four
per their valuation; and third that the roads
should be operated by private corporations organized
under federal law
In giving his for the fret of these provisions
the Senator said that designed protect the weak
lines:
When large road and weak road compete in the
territory, the Senator said they make the
rates and those either the poor
else give its powerful neghbor earnings that would
be regarded as excessive burden on business Put
ting them together makes possible to provide identical
and avoid either starving overwhelming the
other"
The Senator admitted that there would be objections
from many against giving government
tee to the railroads but he defended the plan az fol-
lows:
IF the government guarantee) will be objected to as
giving special prefermen and security to private capital
invested in railroads But the conditions that will
be imposed of limited profits, government controlled
rates and the like they will largely the attributes
Of private property Taking any period of three years in
their history, the roads will be found have averaged
higher earnings than they would be guaranteed under
this plan; the business community would not be los
ing by it,
Before the roads turned over to these proposed
systems their actual value will have to be
merce commission has been engaged several years in
making such valuation In speaking of the progress of
the committee the Senator SAID:
Actual valuations have been completed of only a
small group of roads and these all minor ones. But
on the other hand the inventory of the railroad property
of the country is about 80 per cent finished In add
ton the commission has decided many of the difficult
questions that be settled IL order to fix the prin
cipes, that when applied to the inventory, will enable
determination of the actual value. The data which the
bureau of valuation has gathered will Of the utmost
utility the final determination of value under the plan

In view of the losses sustained by the roads during
