RAILWAYS GET FIRST LOAN ON
 CERTIFICATES
War Finance Corporation
 Advances $5,7OO,OOO.
OTHER LOANS TO
 FOLLOW SOON
Loans Will Be Made Only On Adc- uuatr Security TO Roads
 Financiall, Responsible.

Washington, Mar. 26.-The first loan to railroads on security of certi- l ficates of indebtedness issued by the { railroad administration were made to- day by the war finance corporation, to an aggregate of about $5,700, ,000. { The Chicago Burlington and Quincy got about S4,000,000; Western Mary lanI $93l ,000 and the Chesapeake and Ohio $S00,000.
 Other applications for loans have 1 been made and will be acted on soon. In all cases the war finance corpora = tion will make advances only on ade- quate security and to roads financial i ly responsible In making this ex- planaton, officials of the corporation sought to correct the impression that special attention would be given by the corporation to the needs of the roads.
 Pittsburgh, Pa, Mar. 26.-Despite the financial predicament of railways the railroad administration plans to carry out as much of it's improve ment program as possible to keep la Dor employed and roads in repair, Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads, declared in an address to- night before the Pittsburg traffic club. HS asked for more adequate understanding on the part of the public of the problem facing the rail roads during the war and in the inn mediate future and presented sug- gestions for operating roads private ly under public regulation as per manent solution of the problem He emphasized that the ability of the railroad administration to finance it. self in spite of the failure of it's ap- propriation does not mean that it will not need the appropriation as 500 as congress meets again.
 Proposing eventful private opera tion with government supervision MT. Hines said
 Approves Guaranty.
 My own view is that moderate guaranty on capital should be pres cribed (by the government so as to give reasonable assurance to capi. tai and that there should be right to participation in any profits made in excess of that guaranty SC as to furnish the needed stimulus to private initiative.
 "I further believe that the govern. ment should be strongly represented on the boards of directors and that these government directors should constitute an important part of the regulating body which prescrbes the rate so that this regulating body will known that the necessities are de. veloping and will be able to meet the needs of the situation much more nearly than at present.
 I do not believe these fundamenta changes can be successfully carried through except by the construction of a comparatively few great rail road corporations each of which vii so combine the prosperous and un prosperous roads as to present fail average result and get away from tho hopeless diversity in earnings which had existed in the past; and upon eacf of which it will be practicable to have ample governmental representation.

 Drastic.

London, Mar. 26.-(British Wire less Service )-The Paris correspond ent of the Pall Mall Gazette says on high authority that ''in order to avoid pcrils which would arise if preliminary peace terms are not draf- ted until such times shall have fin ished their labors and have presented their respective reports, the repres- entatives of the great powers have drawn up certain proposals which seem ample to constitute the basis of the first treaty, or one analogous to that signed at Versailles in 1871."
 The correspondent adds that these proposals are under the consideration of the inner council of four, President Wilson and Premiers Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Orlando, which has temporarily superseded the council of ten and that this arrangement will greatly expedite decision
 Terms Drastic.
 "A final settlement will not be aimed att continues the correspOnd- ent, but the terms will be sufficient ly firm, drastic and definite to pro- vide for an enduring peace, justify in large measure early demobilization, simplify the grave international food problem and pave the way for speedy industrial reconstruction and finan- cial reorganization.
 The principal aim of the proposals now before the inner council are:
 "ID. To insure ample security for the protection of France; espec- tally on her eastern frontier:

PRAYERS BROUGHT A FIANCE.

1t has been more than case of love at first
sight for Miss Karin Tjader who lives on Million
aires Row opposite Central Park, in New York
City As she saw for the first time her future suior
in the pulpit of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church she felt that perhaps the time had come
when her prayers for opportunity to be of Christ
ian service in the world were to be answered. La
ter she met Capt. "Gypsy" Smith, the famous Scott
ish soder-evangelist AS they became better ac-
quainted she was sure that this was her chance.
When the captain, who was wounded while fighting
with the Tynside Scots in the Battle of the Somme
returned to Scotland in August, Miss Tjader was
at the pier to wish him bon voyage. On her finger
she wore big solitaire diamond.
Miss Tiader does not look upon the affair
as a romance For years have prayed the Lord
to open a way in which | might be useful in his
work. My prayer is being answered" she said sim
ply. Il have been brought up in a Christian home,
and it seems to me the most natural thing in the
world for me to marry an evangelist. 1t seems like
an answer to my prayer, though | have no idea
what my special service will be.
During part of the year Miss Tjader and her
mother live in their home Fifth avenue; the re-
mainder at Vikngsburg, their country home, where
Miss Tjader may be seen almost any day enjoying
a game of tennis swim, sail around the sound
a spin in her powerful car But her chief interest
is in religion.
She says she has attended dancing parties, but
cares for them no more. She cares little for the
theater. Her chief recreation is in outdoor sports
and her real JOY comes from her religion.
Anyone who thinks religious life is dull anc
tedious simply does not know" she said. If one
is really going to live, one has to pick ones self ur
from the whrl and follow straight track"
The captain will return to America in De
cembef and after the holidays he will begin ar
evangeistic campaign in Brooklyn. No date ha
been set for the wedding. But Miss Tjader say
she will be there when the campaign starts ready
to help as her hance wishes her to.

sHANTUNG WILSON'S GETHsEMANE.

One of the most solemn declarations yet
made in defense of the settlement reached in the
peace treaty and the efforts of President Wilson to
bring about the ideals for which he and the Ameri-
can people stood, was made few evenings ago
by William Allen White, the noted correspondent
and republican writer, who was magazine cor
respondent at Versailles, in an address before the
City Club, of Kansas City, speaking on the topic,
The Conference AS Seen By Reporter.
President Wilson is one of the greatest charac-
ters America has produced and one of the greatest
figures the planet today, Mr.. White declared,
but from the standpoint Of a newspaper man the
President has very mean ways, he said.
The President went through his Gethsemane
over the Shantung DEAL he said. He was virtual
ly forced accede it in order to put the league
and treaty across, and if had been in his place
would have done as he did. But if | were in Con
gress the moment the pact is ratified, would
enter protest against the dirty steal New Zea-
land and Australia would join America in such a
protest and England would not dare oppose the
move With the moral strength of the English
speaking people against the transaction Japan
would be led restore the province to its rightful
owners the Chinese.
Ratification of the treaty and league covenant
is the only way of settling the Shantung affair
Mr. White declared and if the affair is not settled,
an Oriental war, from which America cannot es-
cape, will be the final outcome he asserted

What Other Editors Say
TIME no CALLAHALT.


If the leaders of the miners unions wise,
they will not shut their eyes to the signs of the
times. They will be very rash, indeed, if they
set at defiance the great volume of public opinion
which is accumuating against their threatened
strike and which will undoubtedly support the gov
in strong and even in unusual methods of
Nothing be more significant than the dis
patches from Washington quoting members of Con-
gress supporting the President without reserve
in his warning to the United Mine Workers and
their officers. These Congressmen in politics;
they have their to the ground to catch the
drift of public sentiment Were that sentiment in
favor of the strike to extent even family audi
BILE, they would either talk in the same sense or
else remain silent The fact that they are against
the strike and support direct action to abort it, is
conclusive proof that they have caught a swelling
chorus of public disapproval of it.
Now, against public opinion labor union or
group of unions is all but impotent. 1t may do
certain of injury to itself and Others but it
cannot win. When it has the forces of the Govern
ment against it, backed by public opinion, it is des-
tined to certain defeat. Its leaders are foolish as
well as mischievous in inviting such an outcome
They not only inviting disaster to their own
cause in the present but compromising the future of
unionism.
AS for methods of combating the strike, the
Government is amply equipped Not only can it
keep the mines working to a measurable degree by
extending protection to all men who are willing
to work in them-and there are tens of thousands
it also attack directly the nstigators and pro-
moters of the strike A cool reading of one clause
Of the Lever act for food control during the war
should give chill to the ardor of any present-time
advocate of social hostities The act is still in
force and it covers the case of coal 1t imposes
$4,000 fines and terms of Imprisonment on all
who conspire to restrict the supply or distribution
of any necessities. If this does not cover the COM
bnation ordering the strike, there is no force in
language.
The miners standing, apparently on
technical point. They insist that some concession
must be made before they will call off the strike
and negotiate the questions involved In other
words they demand submission on the part of
every one else preliminary to assent on their
part to fair and equal dealing,
1t is superhuous to point out the absurdity Of
this pretension. What would the miners them.
selves think if the operators made such demand?
Surely the men who advance it have lost their
heads and must be brought to reason. Buying off
trouble pecemeal is a fatal bunder-New York
