AMERICA HAS CAPACITY

E!en Who Have Died in This War
Must Not Make Sacrifice in Vain
Docs Not Speak for President
Whose Statement Had Been
Explicit.

l.. Buffalo, Jan. 5.-Speaking 5. here
last night before the Buffalo Cham
ber of Commerce, Secretary Baker
declared it inconceivable that the
:reace conference would make the
world an insupportable tragedy by
failing to provide for a league of
oations or some other arrangement
to prevent such disasters in the fu-
ture. -
+. "We, here in America, who have
worked and paid" he said, "the IA
thers and mothers who have given
their sons, surely have a right to
+. ae high assurances OF future peace
as a consolation for their sacrifices:
One can not close his eyes and think
Of the peace conference at Versailles
without feeling that there hover over
t the spirits of millions of dead men
demanding that their sacrifices be-
not in vain; that the statesmen Of
he world now secure to mankind
he blessings which they died to o.
tain" 80 ,'''s> ~ %s* =,
Mr.. Baker said he had mo 'inten..
ton of speaking for the president
whose statement had been explicit
I'D in whose hands the case Of Am
erica was now placed: - -. .''>'.
With Head Erect. .;...' T..
'He stands with head erect" said
the secretary, "in the ancient places
of the old world where other kinds
Of treaties used to be made, and rep.
resents a great and free people. He.
is the advocate not of form but of
a principle.
''He is by force of events the
spokesman of the democracy of the
world and the compositions of this
war will be new magma charta,
new bill of rights to liberate the
children of the future from the bur-
dens of the past"
AS to the proposals for league of
nations Mr.. Baker said it ''is not
proposed out of cabinets of absolute
ministers but is rather the passionate
demand of the man in the street, the
simple and the unsophisticated who
knows little of the intrigues and
wiles of statecraft, but who know a
very great deal about suffering and
sacrifice which war entails"
"For my own part" he added, 81
refuse to be timid about Americas
capacity to do new things which are
needed in a new world"

AMERICAN LADS
WIN FIGHT IN SNOW
Drive Back Bolshevists and Make Ad-
vance in Neighborhood of kadish-
Further Evidence of Enemy Mu-
tilating Bodies of Wounded
Submitted in Report.

With the Allied Army of the Dvina
January 4-American troops fighting
desperately near Kadish have driven
back Bolshevik troops which made an
advance there. The Bolshevists also
launched attacks on the Omega Sec
tor and bombarded the allied front.
The Americans came into battle
along the 'Petrograd road and in the
frozen swamps that border it. The
battle was fought in snow from two
to four feet in depth. g
American forces captured Kadish
last Monday after a display of gal
lantry that evoked the admiration of
theallied commapders."' Special care
has ben taken of the American
wounded and the body of an Ameri-
can officer was taken back 100 miles
by sledge and then shipped to Arch
angel for burial. There were some
casualties on Monday, but they were
small in comparison to those inflicted
upon the enemy. =
On Tuesday, the Bolshevists open
ed terrific FIRE from three and Six
inch guns and launched a counterat-
tack against the buildings held by
Americans in Kadish. So hot was the
artillery fire that the Americans were
withdrawn temporarily from the vii
lage. The line, however, was not
taken back very far and the new po-
sitions were firmly held. The enemy
did not occupy Kadish because the
barrage fire from the American guns
made the place untenable. Shells
falling on the frozen ground spread
their zones of destruction twice as
far as they would under normal con-
'itions.
Later under the protection of ar
tillery fire, American. detachments
again swept forward and reoccupied
the town. The men engaged in the
advance were from infantry and
trench mortar units.

barge on the movement on export

FOOD CONDITIONS
SEEN IN GERMANY
Member of Allied Naval Commission
Writes-If Other Parts of Coun-
try Fare as Well as North Situ-
alton is Fair-No Suffering
Found.

London, Jan. "A long article
written by a member of the allied
naval commission in German waters
on the subject of food conditions in
north Germany is published by The
Times today. The writer is careful
to point out that he deals only with
what various members of the com:
mission saw with their own eyeh in
very considerable area and that he
ignores hearsay evidence regarding
other parts of Germany. o., T.
"But if food conditions in the
rest of Germany" he goes on, "are
not very much worse than in Olden-
burg, Mecklenburg and Schleswig-
Holstein there is certainly no need
for haste on the part of the allies, in
going to their relief. I am confident
that none of the score or more men,
bers of the various sub-commissions
which covered many hundreds of
miles of country and saw tens of
thousands of the people at close
range noticed any evidence of pal
pable undertaking among any of
the inhabitants. Indeed, they are Of
the unanimous opinion that the
whole populations, both urban and
rural, in these regions have been
and are being fed near enough to
normal requirements to keep them
at full physical vigor. A member of
Tire intelligence staff who had spent
many years in the country before
the war, said: ~
"'You don't see so many people
with rolls of fat on them as you did
five years ago but you do see a
healthier, harder and generally more
fit looking population
"The men in the dock yards and
on the first ships searched at Will
helmshaven, although slovenly and
filthy, betrayed none of the traces
of underfeeding so readily recog-
nized by one who has been in India
or China in famine time or in Ser
bia or Greece since the war. This
'arty prerared us for the we'll nur-
tured look of the people of the town
itself. In no place of the same char
acter in England, say Portsmouth,
Plymouth or Harwich, would the peo-
pie have been in better flesh or bet
ter color.
GAS to clothes, the Germans would
certainly have had the best of the
comparison"
The writer saw, he says, endless
evidence of intensive cultivation and
careful, scientific fertilization. With
the prisoners available and the ur-
-emitting labor of the women and
children, Germany, the writer de-
c.ares, has done remarkable things

HOOVER TO HEAD
WORK Of RELIEF
Named to Direct International Or
ganization- President Wilson
Makes Appointments on Re-
quest of Entente Governments
in Agreement.

ParlS, Jan. 3.-PreSldent wilson
has named Herbert C. Hoover direc-
tor general of the international or
ganization for the relief of liberated
countries both neutral and enemy.
Norman Davis, formerly on the staff
of Oscar T. Crosby, special commits
sioner of finance for the United
States in Europe, will act as Mr..
Hoover's assistant.
This announcement was made to-
day by the American peace commits
sion in statement which says that
the designation of Mr.. Hoover to take
charge of the relief of the allied gov
ernments that the United States take
predominating part in the orgahi-
zation and direction of relief meas
ures. The statement. follows:N
"Upon President Wilson's arrival
the results of the investigations Of
the United States and allied govern
ments officials into the food situation
Of the liberated countries, neutral
and enemy, were laid before him.
Since his arrivel, in addition to his
discussion with the representatives
Of Great Britain and Italy, respecting
the general peace settlement, he had
been advised with regard to the con-
ferences held between the govern
ments concerning the methods of or
:ganization for the relief Of these peo-
pie.
"The allies and the United States
are in agreement that relief must be
furnished and that the working out
of relief of this character on a large
scale necessitates unity of direction
similar in character to that of the
methods successful in the French and
British commands in the operations
of the allies on land and sea, respec-
lively.
"The allied governments had ad-
vised the president that they desired
that the United States should take
the lead in the organization and ad-
ministration of relief. Under this ar
rangement between the United States
and the allied countries there are be-
ing appointed two representatives of
each government to secure the CO.
operation of food, finances and ship
ping in the solution of the problems
connected with the relief.
"The president has appointed Mr..
Herbert Hoover and Mr.. Norman Da-
Wis as the two American representa-
tives in the council, and Mr.. Hoover
will act as director general of the un-
dertaking. The French government
has appointed NJ. elemental minister
of commerce, and M. Vilgrain, minis
ter of food as THAR representatives.
The British and Italian representa-
tlves have not IS yet been aanoJ ,co!.
The president has asked Mr.. Hoovcr
to call the first meeting of the cou.,-
Gil as soon as the representatives are
named"

NJ 'ADOO REVIEWS
ADMINISTRATION
Return Them to Owners Unless Ex-
tension is Given-Reduction of
Rates Likely by End Of Year
Under Government
Control.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Solemnly
warning Congress- that return of the
railroads to private control, means
return to old evils, Director General
of railroads, McAdoo, yesterday urg-
ed five year extension of Govern
ment control.
Summarized McAdoo told the Sem
ate interstate commerce committee
before which he appeared:
That unless Congress extends con-
tro! the roads will be returned soon.
That valuable reforms begun, by
the railroad administration will be
thereby lost forever.
That if the Government control is
continued the Government will get
a surplus of s1OO,OOO,OOO or more
in 1919.
That reduction of rates is. likely
by the end of the year under Gov
ernment control. ,
That extension Of federal control
does not commit the government to
government ownership.
That such an extension is opposed
only by those who want the lines
returned outright to private owner
ship.
That federal control should be ex-
tended to give the nation on land as
great transport system as it's new
ferchant marine gives it on. the sea.
Washington, Jan. 4.-Return of
the railroads to the hands which
controlled them before the war is
impossible if certain important re-
forms are to be preserved, McAdoo
declared in a statement to the Sem
ate Interstate Commerce Committee
today. !
McAdoo declared there are three
alternatives in the railroad situation:
Return to those who controll-
ed them before the war. -
2.-Government ownership and
control.
3.-Reconstruction of the railroad
map so as to wipe out the hundreds
of different companies and substi-
tute under strict government control
to- combine the advantages of uni
fled operations with initiative of pri-
vate management.
McAdoo warned Congress, how
ever, that unless fair time is given
for test of the reforms he sug-
gested, through continuation of the
government control, the government
will not feel like holding the roads
for the entire Fl months period af-
ter the war, which the law fixes as
the limit of federal control. He urg-
ed Congress to continue government
control until January l, 1924, as a
means of providing a fair test of
federal control.
