MCADOo REITER-
ATES five YEAR
RAILROAD CONTROL
(By The Associated Press }

(By The Associated Press.)
Santa Barbara, Calf, Jan. DIV
G.. McAdoo, former directOr-general OF
railroads and formef secretary of the
treasury, made public today a tele'
gram in which he urged five year gov
ermment control of the railroads as a
necessity for the development Of in.
land waterways and for the co-0rdi'
nation OF the railroads and water
ways With sthe Sew American mer-
chant marines.
The telegram, addressed to Albert
Krell, chairman Of the Miami and
Erie improvement committee of the
Cincinnati : Chamber of Commerce,
was sent in response to an invitation
to attend an inland waterways meet
ing today at Defiance, Ohio. The
message said in parti
Regret it is impossible for me to
attend your inland waterways meet
ing at Defiance, Jan. q.
1T seems to me futile to expend
great sums of money on the develop
ment of our inland waterways unless
our government adopts an intelligent
policy about railroad control. The
future of waterways development is
absolutely dependent upon govern
ment control which will enforce the
operation of the waterways and the
railroads as coordinated and articu-
lated system which will give the peo-
pie the benefits Of an efficient COM
binat tion of water and rail facilities.
Upon the return of the railroads
to private ownership which must he
made within the q months period, as
the present law provides, the cut
throat competition Of the railroads
under private control with the part-
ally developed waterways will cffec-
lively destroy water. transportation
as heretofore and the peoples III
vestment in these facilities will con-
tinue to be Of little if any value.
II have urged the congress to ex-
tend the period Of federal control OF
the railroads for Ave years because
that will give us time to develop some
OF the most important existing water
routes, coordinate them with the rail-
roads and prove their worth as prrt
of great, American transportation
system.
Il also feel that the gOverNneht
should control the railroads and >the
inland waterways for a period of i've
years SO that they may in turn be CO.
ordinated with our government mer-
chant marine, which has been bu'it
at a cost Of more than two billion dol
lars and which under existing law

Paris, Jan. 27.-The supreme council

this morning. There was full atten-
dance Of the members. A number Of
technical authorities on colonial mat
ters, including three Americans, ac-
companied the various delegates as
they entered the foreign Office for the
days sessions.
One of the questions which was to be
taken up was the ultimate fate of the
German colonies. France and Great
Britain, it is said, are in agreement
upon one feature. In the solution, it is
understood, that under no consideration
would the colonies revert to Germany.
Reasons vary, but prominent among
them is the plan of making it impossi-
bic for Germany to establish submarine
bases in her colonial possessions.
Americas attitude is as yet unreveal-

PREPARED ROOF |NC
 SAVED HIS HOUSE

There was just one oasis of safety in the Moose Lake and Cloquet, Minn., district when those towns were com pletely wiped out by fire reeently-one house that is standing today, although sixteen homes in the immediate vicin ity were burned to the ground.
 This home. which resisted the sparks and burning embers ith which the air was filled, was roofed with Certain teed Asphalt Shingles. The owner, Mir Louis Larson, says that he owes the preservation of his home to the Asphalt Shingles, because of the fact that practically = per cent of the Moose Fake houses were burned after the fire had started on the roof, He is naturally rather proud Of his choice of q roog and is recommending the same materials to his neigh5ors.
 Instances multiply everywhere daily, which show that old fashioned wood shingles are not only non- resistant in cases of general conflagration but are q positive source of danger, as in ad- dition to taking fire quickly. they rap idly spread burning brands through out whole neighborhood.
 For this reason prepared roofing and shingles arc everywhere being adopted in place of other types of roof. Pre- pared roofings have long been known to offer effective resistance to fire smothering fires which occur under them and eliminating the danger from
