THE effects of the changes in SAL
aries and wages and working condi-
tions on the railways which have been
made under government control are
strikingly reflected by the statistics
regarding the pay roll for January.
1912" says the Railway Age. The last
month of private control was Decem-
Der, 1917. In that month the railways
handled practically the same traffic
as in January, 1919. In January. 1918.
however, they had 145,O26 more en-
ployes than in December. 1917. With
the average wage per employe going
up and the average amount of traffic
handled per employe going down it is
easy to understand why the changes
in wages and working conditions are
having so unfavorable effects upon net
earnings.

When the peace conference is ad-
journed in favor of the peace congress
it is probable that the German dele
gates will rest their case on the four
teen points. They will say they agreed
to the armistice on these points and
will accept no peace on any other ba-
sis. Germany will declare that the
peace offered to her violates some of
these points. and will use every arti-
flee of the old diplomacy to press her
case. She will resort to bluff and ev-
cry conceivable device to postpone the
operation of the peace terms, to les
sen their severity and to escape from
the just retribution of her crimes
Her strongest card will be her accept
ance of the fourteen points as the ba-
sis of the armistice and of peace, and
the argument that these points have
not been lived up to. But in the end
she will sign, because there is no other
way.
