Of Miss Josephine Mcdonald than they
were when the body was found twenty
four hours ago in a lonely spot In the
Fouter lake shore drive on the north
side. For twelve hours they worked on
the theory that she was the victim of
an automobile accident near her home,
from which she had departed to meet a
woman friend, and a nickel clutched
in her hand and broken glass at the
corner. where she was supposed to
have taken a car. gave coloring to the
automobile accident theory. Later it
was thought possible she had been
murdered and her body dumped out of
an automobile. Marks found on the
body by a coroner's physician gave
support to the theory.
Miss Mcdonald was 40 years old, the
sister of politician and city hall
empIoye. Both her legs and arms were
broken and the skull crushed. At the
corner. a half block from her home, she
was seen waiting for car but ws>-
not seen to board one. The trip from
her own to her friends house would
occupy about fifteen minutes.

Washington. Jan. 25.-To solve the
problem of unemployed discharged SOL

that no man be discharged from the

as he can obtain employment In civil

It was, announced yesterday that or

men who desire to remain temporarily
In the service. without prejudice to
their subsequent discharge to take em-
ployment. Tbe order says:

Reverse For czecho- Slovaks.
BY. the Associated Press. I

Omsk, Jan. 2o.-rDelayed. J. Ufa has
fallen to the bolshevists, the reverse to
the Russian and CZecho- Slovaks there
being said to be chiefly due to the
failure of arms to arrive from Vladi-
vestok. The troops which defended the
city have fallen back to ZIatoust, 140
miles to the northeast, where they are
making a tenacious stand. Thousands
of rifles have arrived at the front and
have been rushed to Cheliabinsk, which
is not believed to be in danger for the
present at least.
Military experts here realize that the
weak points on the Ural front are be-

south at Orcnburg. where General
Vutoff's Cossacks are reported to be
worn out by constant pressure. Nego-
tiation for the dispatch of allied con-
tingents have not as yet been brought
to a successful conclusion.
The capture Of Orenburg would give
the bolsehvists control of a railroad
running into Turkestan and would in
crease their strength. [Unconfirmed

Washington, Jan. 24.-Railroads IN
1918, under government control and
unusual war conditions earned about
s7fs, ,0oO, 900. or s25O.OOo. .O0D less than IN
1917. 1910, 100000 less than in the rec
ord year Of 1916 and about the same
as in 1915.
This became apparent on the basis
of definite reports to the interstate
commerce commission Of earnings Of
1875 principal railroads-those having
annual operating revenues of more than
81, 900, 0,O00-for eleven months. and un-
official calculation of December earn
ings. which probably will be consider
ably smaller than those OF the preced-
ing months.
Receipts from freight, passenger. ex-
press, and other transportation during
the year amounted to approximately
s4S73.O 900, or $s92 1000, 900 more than
in the previous year. Operating ex-
penses Jumped to about s3,971, 100000,
or about s1,119,0OO,O0O more than in the
preceding year.
Preliminary reports to the railroad
administration indicate that frelgn.
traffic fell off in December, with the
virtual stopping Of great food ship
ments destined for Europe and the
cessation Of hauling of other war ma
terial, while expenses could not be re-,
duced materially.
This condition sent the net earnings
to s25,oOO,o0o or $30,o0ooo0 officials

"The peace was made by Germany on

Wilson in Accord With sritain.

Paris. Jan. 25.-David Lloyd George.
the British premier, at<the second open
session of the peace conference today
was expected to discuss the British
plans for a league of nations. the OUT
lines of which were published in the
United States for the first time today.
Without any official outline Of Pres
ident Wilson's plan for a league before
the public comparison of what Pre-
mier Lloyd George has in mind and
what the president may propose is
only partly in order. but it Is said with
authority that the British outline very
generally accords to the principles to-
ward which the American group has
been working.
The outstanding feature OF the Brit
ish outline, which declares that a
distinction must be realized between
justiciable disputes and non -justiciable
disputes and that such state must be
the final Judge, whether or not dis
pute is justiciable. Is taken In Amer
4 lean circles to be quite in line with the
developing opinion among all delegates.
1t has been reported previously that
| the point has been passed where the
/ creation of a super sovereignty had
been considered feasible.
| The general outlines of the British
plan also are taken in American quar-
ters TO be consonents to the generally
Icrystalized idea here that the league
would be a sort of guardianship for the
smaller nations. il is pointed out in
American circles that a full measure OF
comparison can not be made until Pres
iident Wilson makes a statement OF his
own ideas and that he Is considering
some phase which is not expressed IN
the British outline. President Wilson
has been giving the proposition almost
continuous study even while engaged
with other issues and has. it is said.
his ideas definitely reduced to form
IN which they can be placed before the
peace conferences.
The outline laid down by Premier
/ Lloyd George, however, is recognizes

American delegates hope 10 develops
