to Spa, Ludendorn adds. Won Hert-
ling excused himself from attending
on account Of his advanced age. In
these discussions the situation on the
western front was again depicted as
very grave, according toNLudendorff.
''On the arrival of President Wilson's
note." he says, Il came to Berlin and
submitted the following questions to
Won Hertling: Firstly, is the German
people willing to fight on? Secondly,
what is the German governments esti-
mate Of the bolshevik danger. which
take very seriously? Thirdly, is the
Ukraine necessary for our provisioning?'

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
D. F. Wilcox Thinks City Should
Take Over Street Cars.

Municipal ownership Of street car
lines was advocated by DR.. Delos +.
Wilcox, addressing the Friday Evening
Public Utility Conference in the rooms
OF the Board of Trade last night.
Formerly big profits could be made
on 5-cent fare. said the speaker
Now higher labor and other costs
have made the 5-cent fare made
quate. Big speculative profits cannot
be secured, he continued, on watered
stock and deprecated property, with
no reserves for rainy days. Street
railways. he said. are everywhere
going into the hands Of receivers.
In this emergency, DIR. WILCOX
stated. people are changing the street
railways to service-at-cost basis,
which practically means government
guarantees of low dividends to in
yestors. 1t means the strictest gov
ernment control and most efficient
operation.

He entered government employ in

ployed as salesman in the retail shoe
business. When the general supply
committee was organized Mr.. Nor
wood, who had shown aptitude in his
work, was appointed on the subcom-
mittee on stationery supplies and
paper. He soon earned promotion, and
on July l. 1918, he was made superin-
tendent of supplies.
! He conceived the idea. after the
| signing of the armistice. whereby
surplus supplies not needed by the
government should be turned over to
the general supply committee for a
