WON 7 Be
RETURNED TO SINGLE
OWNERS At PRESENT
Director Hines Says No Imme-
diate or Precipitate Action
Contemplated; Has Farley
With Wilson on Subject.

Washington, Feb. rs There will
be no immediate or precipitate return
Of the railroads to private ownership"
Director General Hines announced to-
day.
In letter to the house and senate
committee, Hines declared there would
be no REIMBURSEMENT Of the roads ''un-
tir there has been an opportunity to see
whether permanent program of
constructive legislation Is likely to be
considered soon."
Hines conferred with the president
relative to disposition of the railroads
last night. He addressed letters to
Chairman Smith and Chairman Mar
tin, Of the senate committee on inter-
state commerce and appropriations,
respectively, and to representatives
Simms and Sherley, chairmen of the
house committees on interstate and
foreign commerce and appropriations,
setting forth the results of the White
House meeting.
NO IMMEDIATE RETURN.
"As you are aware" the letters
said, there has been some inquiry as
to whether there might be an imme-
roads to private management. The
railroad administration has indicated
whenever this inquiry has been made
that IT, would not recommend that Gn:'
such step be taken.
For your further information, am
glad to say that have now discussed
the matter with the president and he
authorized me to state that, not only
will there be no sudden relinquish-
ment of the railroads but further. that
1t is not his purpose to relinquish the
railroads until there has been an op-
portunity to see whether a definite
program of constructive legislation Is
to be considered promptly and adopted
within a reasonable time"
Railroad administration officials in
dicated that the move today would
be used by administration leaders in
congress to hurry through the bill
providing an appropriation of $780,
100000 which will be added to the re-
sclving fund available for use in fl
nancing the roads.
SEE TROUBLE AHEAD.
1t was pointed out that unless this
money is made available soon, serious
trouble Is ahead Tor the railroads and
equipment manufacturers. Hines was
understood to have given information
of the present serious condition ito the
senate appropriations committee early
this week.
Railroad administration officials
are going ahead with their plans for
additions and betterments on the as
sumption that the addition to the re-
vclving fund will be granted by con-
gress. No contracts will be let. how
ever, until the money Is actually
available. Hines said that it was not
the policy of the railroad administra-
tion to authorize extensions additions
and betterments, or further capital
expenditures without the consent Of
the railroads affected. This rule will
hold SO long as the government con-
trolls the roads, he said, unless the
proposed improvements are vitality
necessary to the public interest, In
which case the railroad administra-
ton win use its authority to provide
all improvements required to give pre-
war service.

By ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Feb. 2S.--A practical
demonstration of the way the league
of nations would operate to prevent
war is being given by the peace con-
ference in the dispute between Italy
and the Jugo-Slavs.
Under ordinary circumstances Italy
and Jugo- -S1avia would now be at the
diplomatic breaking point, with hos
tilities inevitable.
The Slavs are reported to have or
dered the expulsion of an Italian mill
tary mission from their territory and
agitators in the new Adriatic. nation
are urging their fellow countrymen to
carry their quarrel against Italy to
the battle field. The Italians are said
to be refusing to permit relief sup
plies to pass into Jugo- -Slavia as a
precautionary measure of self pro-
faction

YELLED WARNING SENT.

This state of affairs is the common
one of differences which, under the
rules of the old diplomacy, made war
inevitable. 1t is situation that the
league of nations must have the power
to settle amicably If the league is to
be an Improvement over the former
system of hostile alliances. The dele
gates at the peace conference, for all
practical purposes, have the authority
to take whatever action the league of
nations would take under similar cir
cumstances.
This is now being done. The news
Is being permitted to leak out of Paris
that intimations have been conveyed
to the Italians and Jugo- -Slavs that
the allies are prepared to exercise eco
nomic pressure against the belliger-
ents IL hostilities are begun. Italy has
declined to accept American media
ton in the dispute and is, therefore,
in the position of a country that has
refused to arbitrate its claims, ac-
cordlng to the rules Of the league of
nations

ITALY CALMS DOWN.

Under the course of the leagues pro-
cedure, an attitude of this character
would be followed by preparations to
isolate economically the belligerent
nations.
Such is the plan which the peace
conference is prepared to accept. It's
effect Is becoming. apparent in the
spirit of self-restraint that is begin
ming to show itself at Rome. If. the
power to withhold supplies were not
in control of the peace delegates, there
is every reason to believe Italy would
now be preparing to send an ultima
tum to Jugo- -Slavia as preliminary to
fighting for the mastery of the Adri-
attic. But the peace conference for the
present has averted this outcome by
using the identical powers that are to
be given to the league of nations.

Republican Leader Declares
Covenant Too Foggy to
License Endorsement; Fears
Harm to U. S. in Pr0visoS.
TOO HASTILY DRAFTED TO
INSURE FUTURE HARMONY
Oisagrees With President That
Monroe Doctrine Would Be
Extended to Cover World;
Would Cease to Exist.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-President
Wilson's league of nations covenant
calls the American people away from
Washington's doctrines to those of
Trotsky, Senator Lodge, Republican
leader, asserted in speech to the SEN
ate today.
Criticism of the proposed constitu-
tion, Lodge said, however, does not ex-
tend to all plans for league of ma
tions.
Everybody hates war and longs to
make 1t impossible" said Lodge. 1--WE
ought to lay aside once and for all the
evil suggestion that because men may
dlifer as to the best method of assur-
Ing the worlds peace in the future,
any one Is against permanent peace IL
1t can be obtained among all the ma
tions of mankind.
Il will follow any man and vote for
any measures which in my honest
opinion will make for maintenance of
the worlds peace. l will follow no
man and vote for no measures which.
however well intended, seem in my
best Judgment to lead to dissensions
rather than to harmony among the ma
uons. or to peril, injury, or injustice
to my country"
NO FOGGY MEANINGS.
Lodge said that in a matter so vital
to all the world there should be no
foggy meanings, no need for explana-
tions. The need he said must be so
plain and so explicit that no man can
misunderstood it.
"In the draft prepared for

OF which men do not already diff

that the very nations which sign
the constitution Of the league will
quarrel about the meaning of the
various articles within a twelve
month 1t seems to have been
hastily drafted and the result is
crudeness and Iooseness Of ex-
preston.
1 press this point because you can
not find world peace upon the cynical
scrap of paper" doctrine so dear to
Germany. There is nothing so vital
to the peace of the world as the sane
tity of treaties. To whatever instru-
ment the United States agrees it must
carry out the provisions of that in
strument to the last jot and title;
therefore, the language in which the
terms are stated must be as exact and
precise and as free from any possi-
bility os conflicting interpretations as
1t is possible to make them

United States or senator or any one
else.
Lodge directly answered President
Wilson's personal explanation of the
constitutions provisions regarding the
Monroe doctrine by saying.
How any one can say that article
10 extends the Monroe doctrine to all
the world passes my comprehension.
If you extend the Monroe doctrine to
all the world, 1t ceases to exist be-
cause 1t rests on nothing but the diff
ferentiation of the American Hemis-
phere from the rest of the world

They drove thousands of women and children with brutal savagery into slavery in foreign lands; they allowed barbarities to be practiced against their prisoners of war. from which the most uncivilized people would have recoiled.
 6arbarous Conduct UnexampIed
 "The conduct of Germany is almost unexampled in human history. The terrible responsibility which lies at her doors can be seen by the fact that not less than seven million dead lie buried in Europe, while more than twenty million others carry upon them the evidence of wounds and suffering because Germany saw fit to gratify her lust for tyranny by resort to war

 Quotes Wilson's Force to Limit" This attitude of the allied and as sociated powers was made perfectly clear to Germany during the war by the principal statesmen It was de fined by President Wilson in his speech of April 6, 1918, and explicitly and categorically accepted by the Ger man people as a principle covering the peace-'let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response, till the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly de, feat the force of those who flout and disprize what we honor and hold dear Germany has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right as America conceives it, or dominion, as she conceiyes it, shall determine the destinies of mankind. There is therefore, but one response possible from us:-force, force to the utter most, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which

What Do You Ihink About It?
By w. R. W.

w. E. Oxsheer, station agent: 'I be- lieve that now with the German situa- tion cleared up the Mexican revolu- tionary forces will have to walk the chalk line. I wouldn't be surprised but that it would develop later that the Mexican federal forces had some thing to do with the shooting up of Ell Paso for the purpose of forcing the United States troops to take some ac- tion.
 Frank Thomas, court interpreter: There will always be trouble in Mex ico and along the border until Villa has been put out of commission. He is capable of all kinds of trouble to us as long as he can get ammunition and supplies"
 James Allison, justice of the peace: "I have never forgotten and will nev- CT forget the affair at Columbus, N. M., which Villa staged and something ought to be done to eliminate him from the possibility of future opera tion of that kind.
 p. H. HaIIeck, city engineer: From the many reports in the past of the many deaths of Villa I hope that the nexs time he is killed he is cremated to prevent his usual return to life again"
 Barney Norton, acting police judge: If Villa is caught hope he is brought to Bisbee for trial. We will give him a fair trial?"
 J. J. Bowen, Bisbee Auto company:
 ''It begins now to look like the gov ernment was going to do something about the Mexican situation and if the same policy is pursued business along the border will take a turn for the good"
 F. s. Cundiff, manager Telephone company: Its about time the United States did something about the rebel situation along the border and I am glad to see such quick and decisive action on the part of the WET depart ment in the emergency at Fl Paso."

 M Clemencecu, in the letter also quotes from speeches delivered by Premier Lloyd George, himself as pre- mier of France, and Premier Orlando of Italy in which it was specifically declared that when victory was won, compromise as to peace terms was inn possible and just punishment should be meted out, and continues:
 Must Be Justice for War Victims
 Justice, therefore, is the only pos sible basis for the settlement of the accounts of this terrible war Justice is what the German delegation asks for and says that Germany has been promised. But it must be justice for all There must be justice for the dead and wounded and for those who have been made orphans and bereaved that Europe might be free from Prus sian depotism. There must be justice for the people who now stagger under war debts, which exceed thirty billion that liberty might be saved. There must be justice for those millions whose homes and lands, ships and property German savagery has spoliar ed and destroyed.
 That is why the allied and associ ateed powers have insisted as a card inal feature of the treaty that Ger many must undertake to make repara tions to the very uttermost of he power. for reparation for wrongs in flicted is of the essence of justice"

 Without ostentation Paul Dutasta, general secretary of the peace con ference. at 6:49 o'clock this evening placed the revised draft of the treaty and the note in the hands of the Ger man legation secretary Simon and Baron von Loersner. Herr Simon protested against the short time giv- en Germany to make known her in- tentions.
 Documents Handed to Foe
 NJ. Dutasta arrived in Versailles at 6:20 o'clock carrying the momentous documents in two parcels wrapped in prosaic brown paper and was con ducted to the reading room of the Hotel Reservoirs.
 Here the party was grouped along one side of the room. In front of M. Dutasta was large marble topped table, upon which the documents were placed in two piles. The Germans took their place at the other side Of the table.
 At 6:49 o'clock Herr Simon infor' mally reached across the table and took the documents and handed them to Baron von Loersner, this actually constituting the formal receipt of the treaty and the ultimatum. A receipt from the Germans for the documents was required.
 The Germans then returned to their apartment in the hotel, von Loersner carrying the documents under his arm in a green portfolio. Later Count von Brockdorff- -Rantzau boarded a train for Weimar, taking the papers with him.
