WASHlNGTON, June 12-The Rail
way Administration is considering ad-
vancing the date of turning the rail-
ways back to private management, ac-
cording TO reports in circulation among
railway men. 1t was the original plan.
though never officially announced, to
hanc the actual operation of the rail-
ways over to the companies Oct. l..
August l is now mentioned as pos
slble date for the operating transfer.
1t was considered that transfer of
operating control three months before
the termination of government general
control would be sufficient time for
the companies to reshape operating
organizations to suit the requirements
Of private administration
Two conside ratons are believed to
make for an earlier transfer of the
actual direction of operations.
One is that the morale of the per-
soAnel is rapidly deteriorating, owing
to the fact that employees as we'll as
executives realize that there is to be
a change of control January /. Every
body, therefore, tends to adapt his
conduct to the future rather than to
the present. With each passing day, it
is said, the grip of the Federal admin
lstration becomes weaker and its ef-
ficiency correspondingly lower
The other consideration is that Oc-
tober l will be right in the midst of
the heaviest traffic, probably, that a
large part, if not all of the railways
have ever known, and it would be bet
ter, therefore, to make the change of
operating control before that time,
and long enough before to enable the
new managers to get their stats and
systems into good working order be-
tore the big transportation burden of
the year is at its heaviest.
The Senate. in two .ninrtes this
afternoon. passed the $3.50, ,0O,O0
House deficiency appr opr;at;ons bin
for railroad administration. The bill
now goes to the President.
The Senate also passed without a
record vote bill introduced by Sena-
tor Cummins, of Iowa, Republican,
amending the railroad control act, so
as to restore the rate making power
TO the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion.

the bureau had been raided and the
Bolshevik representative arrested
Hundreds sprang to their feet with
cries of "shame,"
One woman, whom Mr.. Malone called

point in his address when he shouted
dramatically, "lf America went into

fields of Flanders and in the soil of

FOch Makes Plans

PARIS, June 12.- Marshal Foch and
General Weygand had two conferences
yesterday with Premier Clemenccau. at
which they discussed the immediate
resumption of hostiities and con-
ccrted advance by the Alies( says
Marcel Hutin in the Echo dc Paris"
The general opinion is, the writer
adds, that Count Won Brockdorff Rant

be able to sign the treaty. 1t is also
believed that the Scheidcmann Minis

Conditions for Admission

The conditions for the admission
of Germany to the league of nations
embodied in the report of Lord
Robert Cecil and Colonel House
are:
First-The establishment of a
stable government.
Second--The signing of the
treaty Of peace.
Third-The loyal execution of
the peace treaty.
A proposed fourth condition, rela-
tive to Germany's abolishing com
pulsory military service, was finally
omitted on Premier Clemenceau's s
suggestion. 1t was considered that
the treat sufficiently provided for
Germany's disarmament.

mits Plebiscite to Deter.
mine the Fate of Silesia

PARIS, June IL (By The Asso-
ciated Press) A complete accord
has been reached in principle on all
questions connected with the reply
to the German counter proposals.
This statement was made in respon-
sible quarters tonight
The accord concerning the ad-
mission of Germany to the league
of nations is the same as drawn by
Lord Robert Cecil and Colonel
House, with the omission of the
fourth condition, requiring Ger
many to abandon compulsory
military services. NJ. Clemenceau,
president of the conference, con-
tested this condition as likely to
precipitate the same question in
France, and the council finally
dropped it, No time has been fixed
for Germany entrance, But if she
conforms to the conditions it is ex-
pected that she will be represented
at the first meeting of the assem-
bly,.
Provides Silesian Plesbiscite
The accord includes the Silesian
question and reparations, which,
with the league question, were the
chief subjects of difference among
the delegates.
The Silesian settlement is based
on plebiscite for the disputed
Polish-German region.
1t has been decided to incorporate
the reply in the treaty itself rather
than present it as a supplemental
document. 1t will contain about
5000 words.
The agreement in principle leaves
only the details and drafting, which
it is said could be accomplished by
Friday night, though the expecta-
tion is that actual delivery of the
document to the Germans will not
take place before Saturday night.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-From
indications to-day, notice will be given
the peace conference that the league
of nations cannot be forced on the
United States Senate in conjunction
with the peace treat. This notice
will be served either by vote OF the
Senate or by round robbn" read
into The Congressional Record, and
signed by more than enough Senators
to defeat any treaty under the con-
stitutional provision that a treaty
must be ratified by two-thirds vote
of the Senate before it becomes ef-
fective.
This action seemed assured TODAY.
Republican leaders stated. after the
Foreign Relations Committee, by vote
of to 7, ordered favorable report on
the Knox resolution. demanding that
the league covenant be separated from
the treaty.
careful count by the Senate lead
ers of both sides disclosed that the
minimum strength of the vote in favor
of the Knox resolution-or of the sign

more than enough Senators to defeat
the ratification of the treaty. Actually
the number is moro likely to reach

7. Republicans: Colt, Kenyon, McNary,
Norris. Total, 4. Doubtful, II.
While close frineds of Senator
Martin, who is very III, say he is per-
sonally strongly opposed to the whole
league of nations idea, it is not ex.
pcctcd that his physical condition wiz
permit him to be present for some
time and he probably will interpose nj
objection to being paired as though
he were supporting the Administration.
kenyon's Vote Counted On
Another point, which is not credited
about this poll, . the classification of
Mr.. Kenyon as doubtful. Mr. Kenyon.
it is declared. will vote for the Knox
resolution. The Democratic leaders.
however, are absolutely confident of
five Republicans voting with them
Mr.. McCumber. who is conceded by the
Republican leader, and Senators Colt,
McNary, Kenyon and Norris. The Re-
publican leaders say they have Kenyon
and hope to win Colt, McNary and
Norris over.
But there is no question IL any ones
m.,l that the vote will disc ose, If it
is ever permitted to be recorded. taat

PARIS, June II ((bv The Associated

of four to-day to the note of Admiral
Kolchak, head of the ALL Russian gov
ernment Of Omsk, extends to him and
his associates the support set forth in
the original letter of the council to

"The Allied and associated powers

tain satisfactory assurances for the
freedom, self-government and peace of
the Russian people, and their neigh

essary for II to be strong and dur
able, as 1t will be subjected to the
hardest kind of wear
The garments collected should be
clean, but are not to be mended, as
there are thousands of women in
Europe who will be glad of the OPP
to earn small wage by
mending or making over garments
more suited to their own countries
Mrs. Il. V. Carter is chairman Of

ments, and will be at the Red Cross
rooms to look after all contributions
It is earnestly hoped that a liberal
response will be made to this call.

an illness that had extended thrr six

He came with the family to Oregon
in 1853, when they settled near
