RISK INVOLVED
NOT BAD As WAR,
NEBRASKAN SAYS
Greatest Step Toward
Peace in 1000 Years
Has His Ideas.
ADD MONROE DOCTRINE
AND U. S. VOTES, ADVISES

Washington, March 11.-William Jen-
nings Bryan issued a statement here. to
right, indorsing the league Of nations,
Iut suggested amendments to the pro-
posed constitution which, among other
things, would preserve specifically the
Monroe doctrine, enlarge the proper
tionate voting power of the United
States and make it clear that each
member nation might decide for itself
whether it would support DEGREES of the
leagues general council.
While pointing to imperfections, Mr..
Bryan urged that they should not be
allowed to lead to rejection of the plan.
declaring that risks to be run in accept
ing the league were less than those in
yolved in rejection and returning ito
the old ways Of blood and slaughter.
Embodies His Peace Plan.
Mr.. Bryan dictated the statement
from his sickbed. He said the league of
nations idea 'the greatest step toward
peace in thousand years" was taken
from the thirty arbitration treaties
negotiated ny the United States while
he was secretary of state 1t was not
to be expected he said. that so great
an idea would be made perfect in detail
in so snort a time and added that,
while president Wilson had done the
best he could he would be helped by
intelligent and friendly criticism.
The statement follows:
The league of nations is the greatest
step toward peace in a thousand years.
he idea Of substituting reason for
force in the settlement of interr~-- .ial
disputes is, in itself, an epoch making
advance.
Three Great Steps.
''The constitution Of the league. as
announced, provides for three things
which constitute in themselves an ad-
vantage, the Importance Of which can
scarcely be estimated:
First, deliberation before the war,
the investigation of all disputes of their
kind and character before hostilities
begin. This almost ends war The idea
is taken from the thirty treaties nego
tiated by the United States with three
quarters of the world. Our nation, here
fore, gives to the peace league its
greatest piece Of machinery.

WILD BEASTS IN
BERLIN STREETS
Both Sides Kill Prisoners
Now; Women as Fur
ious as Men.

London, March 11.-Fighting is still
going on in Berlin with great fury, ac-
cording to undated reports received in
Copenhagen from the German capital
and forwarded by the Exchange Telegraf
company.
Witnesses of the fighting in the last
few days say that both the Spartacans
and the government soldiers acted like
wild beasts. HostlIities continue in the
northern and northeastern sections Of
Berlin. and the government troops are
killing all prisoners who fall into their
hands. Women. the reports add, partic-
ipated in the crueties with as much des
peration as the men.
The reports estimate the loss in Ber
lin from pillage alone at 50,OOO,OOO
marks. Frankfurter Strasse, a we'll
known Jewish business street, suffered
heavily.
The German government troops,
greatly reinforced. have resumed the
fighting in Lichtenberg. says German
wireless dispatch received tonight.
The dispatch adds the Spartacans al
ready have been obliged to evacuate the
police headquarters and the postoffice.

CHARGE OF FINANCING
Director General Hines
Needs $701,6o7,692
for Interim; Will Be
Aided by Heads of Sys-
tens.

Washington, March 11.-Raiiroad ex-
ecutives and government representatives
today laid the foundation for the ma
chinery thru which loans of banks and
the War Finance corporation will be
made available to railroads during the
next few months. in lieu of the funds
which congress failed to provide.
After conferences between number of
officials of the War Finance corpora
ton and railroad administration, a spe-
cial finance committee of seven, head
ed by Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific, was created by the
railroad executives to cooperate with
government agencies as clearing house
for financial arrangements.
Swager Sherley, of Louisville. who
has just retired after serving sixteen
was appointed by Director General
Hines as director of the railroad admin
istrations division of finance, succeed
ing John Shelton Williams, resigned.
To Mr.. Sherley, who will take office
April Is, will fall much of the work of
administering the financial plans yet to
be developed.
War Finance Cash to Be Had.
An important feature of the financial
mechanism of the arrangements to be
made may be the issuance by the rail
road administration of government war
rants to railroads for the amounts due
them on settlements of last years ac-
counts and other debts These war
rants. virtually certificates of indebt-
edness, would not be cashed until con-
gress appropriated funds at the next
session, but would serve as collateral
for loans.
The loans would be arranged by each
railroad company Individually with its
bankers. or in special eases with the
War Finance corporation. The railway
executives special committee. together
with the railroad administration fl
nancial agencies. would facilitate the ne
gotiation and distribution of these loans.
Companies whose financial strength was
not great might be helped by the rail-
road administration, which will get some

The league is draft, not of league
of nations, but league of arms against

The Leipzig Tageblatt says ''it is our
misfortune we are in a disadvantagcous

erection Of a league, for the cause is

Seattle, March 11.-Thousands Of
shipyard workmen who reported for
their former places Of employment, this
morning, in Aberdeen, Tacoma and
Seattle, for the first time since the
strike for higher pay January Il. were
disappointed at being refused work
temporarily.
In Seattle only about 1000 men
were put at work in eleven shin wards
and repair plants, but as the plants
again get into swing, men will be added
IN increasingly large numbers Estimates
placed the number of men who resumed
work today in contract shops, boiler
factories and machine shops outside
the shipyards at 1000.
In Tacoma a smaller number Of en-
ployes were given work than were EN-
ployed prior to the metal trades strike.
Three wooden yards tEcIe especially
will use less men, because Of contract
cancellations and specification changes
in wooden ship designs. The one Tacoma
steel yard plans to resume three shift
operation as soon as possible, but in
Seattle only a day shift will be used.
One Tacoma contract shop, the Pacific
Steel and Boiler works. has made verifi-
cation of citizenship requirement OF
its future employees.
But few men were affected by the
strike at Aberdeen, and large number
of these found no work awaiting for
them when they returned.
Thirtysix vessels are in various
stages of completion in Seattle yards
and employers said work On these YES
sells would be rushed first.

in a navy flying boat en- route from
Washington to Hampton Roads.
Communication was established at a
distance of more than 80 miles, by

The secretary used the ordinary
desk telefone on his desk. Officers
in charge of the development of radio

Griffin, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering, were grouped around the
desk.
Mr.. Daniels spoke of his pleasure
in making a test of the constantly

to lack of train service and curtailed
train shedules. This cause, he said.
would be removed as the railroads re-
covered from the strain imposed by the
war.
Delay, damage and loss of parcels
post matter. the subject of many com
plants, was due, the letter asserted, to
careless packing. the use Of packing me
terials of poorer quality than used prior
to the war, and to improper handling by
postoffice employees. Instructions to
employees to exercise care. he said, have
been reiterated, and those upon whom
responsibility for losses or serious dam
age is fixed would be dismissed from the
service.
With the passing of the extraordinary
conditions incident to the war, the as
sistant postmaster general said, better
