24.-Thousands of Russian officers.
following the evacuation OF Russia
and the Ukraine by the German
left Russia because otherwise they
would be forced to fight for the boil
sheviki or be killed.
They are the best type of Russian
officers, the kind who formed the regi-
ments in the time of Premier Keren-
sky when the bolshevist agitators
were stabbing allies in the back by
breaking the morale Of the Russian
armies.
Several officers I knew In Galicia,
whose conduct was heroic in trying
on the unfortunate Kerensky Of
fensive. which we allies forced him
to make against his better judgment,
are now here.
Germans Only Respect Him.
A young Cossack officer said to me:
For four years 1 have been lighting
the Germans, but now the Germans
alone are willing to treat me as wor-
thy of respect
Among the officers there are a few
aristocrats. Others explain that the
aristocrats were forced to remain as
officers in the Red army. The OFF,
GERS did not want to remain. but the
soviet government arrested their
wives, mothers, and daughters. hold
ing them as hostages in case the Of
fcers fail to win battles or attempt
a counter revolution.
Any one who knows the bolshevik
mind understands Immediately the
diabolic cleverness in forcing the Of
ffcers to do their work by making
them realize that their female rela-
tives will die for it If they run from
the country or fail to win battles.

ASKS RAIL CONTROL

NE. McAdoo Says Co-0rdina.
ton With the Waterways
-. Is Necessity.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, January IS.
w. G. McAdoo. former director gen
eral of railroads and former Secretary
Of the Treasury. has made public a
telegram. In which he urged fve-year
government control of the railroads
IS a necessity for the development of
inland waterways and for the CO.
ordination of the railroads and water
ways with the new American mer-
chant marine
Tie telegram was sent in response
to an invitation to attend an inland
waterways meeting at Defiance. Ohio,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-01-28
Mr.. McAdoo's Message.

Mr.. McAdoo's message follows:
81 have urged the Congress to ex-
tend the period of federal control of
the railroads for five 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 part
of a great American transportation
system.
Il also feel that the government
should control the railroads and the
inland waterways for a period of five
years 80 that they may in turn be CO.
ordinated with our government mer-
chant marine which has been built at
a cost of more than two billion dol
lars, and which under existing law
the government controls for a five
year period.
Must Look Wisely on Problems.
unless we look at this great prob
lem with vision and from the stand
instead of from the standpoint of the
selfish interest of private railroad
owners, private steamship owners.
private shippers. private investors,
or any other single class. We shall
not measure up to our obligations TO
the American people nor realize the
great opportunities and destiny that
lie ahead of US.
THE confusion of counsel about the
railroad problem, made daily more
evident by the great variety of con-
f1icting views and opinions now being
presented at the hearing before the
Interstate commerce. committee of the
Senate at Washington, makes it more
and more clear that the course of
wisdom. sagacity and prudence is to
extend government control of the
railroads for five years. that our in
land waterways be developed to the
largest possible extent during that
period and that these inland water
ways and rail facilities be co-ordinat-
ed with our great merchant marine
in. an endearor to get for American
business enterprise a fair participa-
ton In the benefits of world COM
merce.
