New Order of Railroad Adj
ministration Puts an End
to FavOrs Shown by the
Northwestern to City.
FAMILY TICKETS OFFERED
Ten and Twenty-Five Ride Tickets are
Withdrawn and the Last Use of
Them is Limited to Feb. % and
Some to Next Saturday.

| Kenosha's favorite form of trans
portation - the Communication ticket to
Chicago - goes into the discard ON
Saturday morning. This was announc-
ed today by the agent. of the North
western Railway Company when the
formal order was received from Wash
ington disseminating the sale of the
ten ride tickets for other than in
dividual use and announcing further
that such tickets now in the hands of
patrons bought after Jan. 25th would
not be good for traffic after the first
day Of February.
To take the place of the ten ride tic
ket which has been the favorite form
of specializing in transportation be-
tween Kenosha and Chicago the gov
eminent has announced the sale of a
family ticket of twenty six 1ddes''
limited for use by immediate members
Of families and with the understanding
that the tickets are good for six months.
These tickets will he sold at rate
of TWO cents mile for each ide.
The ticket spectators and Others
who have stocked up on the ten ride
tickets will not lose their money
other than their profits as the govern
ment will redeem all of the unusued
portions of these tickets These tick
cts sold prior to January 25th will be
good for use until February 2Sth at
which time all use of them will be
stopped.
When the original order was issued
against suburban tickets in the Chi
cage District it was believed that it
did not apply to the old Kenosha
tickets but the new order today wiped
out any hope that the people may
have had that the tickets would con-
tinue in use.
The discarding of the ten ride tick
ct will result in large increase in
the amount that the railway company
will take annually from Kenosha It
will mean that large proportion of
the people who have been accustomed
to ride on the communication tickets will
pay the full fare. 1t is not expected
that the new twenty six ride family
ticket will appeal strongly to Keno
sha commuters.
The formal announcement of the Gov
eminent as received at the Kenosha
office this morning follows:
"The residents of Chicago suburbs
were advised today of an important
change in ticketing arrangements.
While there is to be no change in the
rates charged for individual monthly
tickets, the 10 and IS ride tickets
heretofore sold will be withdrawn on
February, 1919, and 26-trip family
ticket, good for the purchaser or any
members of the purchaser s family
limited to six months viii be sold at
the rate of 2 cents per mile per ride.
Used rides of of tickets of the
old form purchased after January %
will not be honored after February 1,
but will be redeemend at proportions
ate rate and tickets sold at an earlier
date will be honored throughout the
month of February, after which time
they will be redeemed by the issuing
railroads at proportionate rates"

Paris, Jan. 29-Much as Presi-
dent Wilson hopes to avoid
second trip to Europe, it begins
to look as if the trend of peace
conference affairs would cause him
to feel impelled to recross the
Atlantic in the early spring. The
president is waiting to see what
the remaining Is days of his stay
in France will bring forth before
finally deciding on his course. But
the president from the first has
been holding himself ready to re-
turn if he thought it necessary
and within the last day or so he
has told officials in his confidence
that he was impressed with the
feeling that it would be his duty
to return.

Paris, Jan. 29-The secret trea-
ties effected by the allies before
America entered the war, which
were generally accepted as consti-
tuting the most serious menace to
a democratic and permanent peace,
are invalid. They were swept
away by acceptance Of the arnlis-
tiee terms, including President Viii
sons fourteen points, his speech Of
January 5, and subsequent speeches
They were doubly nullifed when
the allies agreed to the principal
of the League of Nations. The
United Press is able to state this
today on the authority of the high
est international law experts now
in Paris. According to these men,
athe terms Of the armistice are bind
ing and supersede every previous
agreement. The armistice, there
fore is the only treaty that can
properly be considered in the peace
conferences. Formation of the
League of Nations will further
make certain that all old "under-
standings will be cancelled. The
American people consequently need
not entertain any fear that the
secret treaties will interfere with
their ideas of proper peace set
