HOPE FOR IMMEDIATE SETTLE
 MENT OF DEMANDS OF FOUR
 GREAT RAILWAY BROTHER
 HOODS VANISHED WHEN CON
 FERENCE BREAKS UP.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-(R)-An hope for any immediate settlement of the demands of the railway workers vanished into thin air this morning when the conference between repre- senLatiyes of the four big railway brotherhOods and Railroad Director Hines broke up. Further sessions of this conference, it has been officially announced, are postponed indefinitely.
 No intimation of any other pro ceedings was made in the statement of the pOstpOnement. It is believed that the brotherhood heads will is sue some kind of a statement within a short time as to the policy to be adopted by the workers. It was re- gently stated by railway union lead CTS, that any definite refusal of the railroad administration to grant the demands would be the signal for the taking of a general strike vote by all workers unions. Whether the post ponement of further consideration will be considered a refusal and ground for such a vote is not known.

Atlanta, Ga, jan. THE offer 1oI
General Pershing to release officers
and men of the A. e. F. from MIL
tary duty in order that their services
might be utilized by the Y. M. G. A.
resulted in the recruiting of a large
number of soldiers for "Y" work, and
naturally resulted in decrease in the
number of men being sent from this
country overseas.
Up until the time General Pershlng 8

done extensive recruiting for the pur-
pose of sending, a large number OF
workers overseas. But when 1T was
learned that workers could be secured

outcome, the Y. M. G. A. could not

Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and

takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania

though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-

Modra has been with the Polish
forces continuously since his arrival
in France five months ago, and has
given many notable exhibitions of gal
lantry and fidelity to duty. During the
last days Of the hostilities he served
with the First division in the Vesges,

after trip, carrying supplies to the men

under fire repeatedly.
When the fighting was at it's heavi-
est Modra and the men associated with
him in Y work continued their minis
trations to the soldiers, serving cocoa,
cakes, when the men were in position
to receive them, and cigarettes. This
service contributed much to the high
morale Of the troops and won not only
the praise OF the officers but the last

A food map Of Europe today shows
not single country in which the flu
fure does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception, Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more In her own

Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs Of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal oil Of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norw'ay, Sweden and Denmark
