ALARMEDBY RISING
BOLSHEv|ST TIDES
Newspapers Are Demanding
Prompt Meeting of Peace
Council to Stop Anarchy.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The past week
has witnessed a strong aud general
demand from the most influential
British newspapers, regardless OF
politics, for the prompt meeting OF
the Peace Conference and prompt
action TO stem the tide of chaos
which is threatening Germany be-
cause OF the introduction Of Bolshe-
vism by way OF the border states.
There is a dawning recognition that
II anarchy seizes Central Europe the
decisions of the Peace Conference in
drawing boundaries and levying in
IDENTITIES can be enforced only
through military control by the
Allies, otherwise becoming merely
scraps Of paper
Tho Sunday Observer. under the
heading Of, "a Warning" gives prom
.inence to the following:
Tho Allies are IN some danger of
precipitatiug in Germany what they
should most wish to avoid. They are
perfectiy entitled 20 insist upon tht
disbandment OF tho army. They arc
also perfectly entitled to maintain the
full right OF blockade, But simulta'
neously to empty millions OF men intc
civilian life and TO exclude tho raw
materials which alone can give then
employment is the most rapid process:
for making Bolsheyists that has beer
discovered,
Unemployment and Bolshcvisn
soon establish a vicious circle OF mu
tual stimulation and 1t has ALREADY
begun 10 operate in Germany upor
very serious scale. Nothing c,ulC
be more calculated in that country I,
Illustrate the appearance Of an au
thontic Government with which peace
might bc concluded,
There are arguments both fOl
military and economic pressure. Bu
one must bc chosen and the othcl

empire OF chaos most menacing ex
tension. II Is an option that canno
be deferred until the Peace Confer
ence has finished its ahors A tida

The warning Of the Observer Is II

most urgent business now before thj
conquering nations is 20 restore IN,

Of order and normal living, or some

OPPOSE FEDERAL OWNERSHIP

Formal announcement was made to- night of the final tabulations in the referendum conducted among business men by the Chamber of Commerce of
 the United States on the question of
 government ownership of railroads
 More than 99 per cent of the vote, the
 official announcement said, was
 against it.
 From many parts of the country to-
 day came reports that striking shop
 men refused to return to work, de-
 spite the fact that their action was
 denounced as illegal by the. executive
 council of the six shop crafts. Strike
 ballots were mailed out from the
 American Federation of Labor for talk
 ing an official vote as to whether the
 500.000 shopmen shall walk out to ob-
 tain their demands and express their
 disapproval of President Wilson's ref erence of the railroad wage question to Congress. Demands are also be- ing made by 45o,oeo clerks. freight handlers and station employees. Direc- tor General Hines was to have dis ssed their problems today with J. J. Forester, grand president of the union, but other business interfered and the conference will be held tomorrow Announcement of the vote of 99 per cent of the business men against gov ernment ownership was accompanied by the following explanation of the reasons actuating the decision:
 REASONS FOR DECISION '1. Under government ownership the development of railroad facilities would depend much on Congressional appropria- tions which would prevent the anticipa- ton of the transportation needs of the country. Appropriations would not bs made in the amount And at the time needed to insure adequate development of the railroads.
