WILL NOT RETURN
 RAILROADS UNTIL LEGISLATORS ACT

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S-Uncertain- ty over the status of railroads in the Immediate future was largely removed today by Director General Hines an After cOnferring with President Wilson. that the government would not turn the roads back to pri Vate management until congress had more opportunity to consider a perma ncnt program of legislation
 This was generally interpreted as meaning that the railroads would be under government management for at east another year and probably longer. If a special session of congress is called early in the summer, legislation might be taken up. but most ot them believed this could not be completed within four 0r five weeks.
 IT there is no special session con- gress could not start on legislation much within a year. With the tenn porary status determined, the railroad management will go ahead Vioorousls with the program f~ making improve ments and extensions, both for the sak, of rhc rail properties and t0 stimulate the demand materials and labO. during the readjustment period. An other effort win be the increased use of waterways in connection with Di- rector Hines expressed policy.
 lt was said at the railroad admins tration that the decision not to relin- quish the railroads at this time was not a reversal of policy. The railroad administration has long advocated ear ly relinquishment. it WIS explained, but not until congress had had time to act on the proposed five year extension oi government control or Go consider oth- CT legislation.

 IN bOLSHEV|K LAND

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Additional light on conditions in the portions of Russia under bolshevilli control is giv- en in a summary of reports secured re- gently from a number of refugees who passed through Helsingfors on their way from Moscow to Stockholm.

Dog meat is quoted at four roubles (two dollars) a pound: horse meat at fifteen roubles per pound: pork at sixty roubles and bread at fifteen -6ubles. The country is practically stripped of all manufactured articles especially wearino apparel, and all grain and supplies are requisitioned by the soviet government from peasants who receive nothing in return.
 Typhus Is reported to be spreading 1000 new cases being reported at Mos COW weekly and the hospitals are un- able to take care of them. Lack of milk has resulted in many deaths of children from starvation.
 ''The food situation is verv bad and the food is distributed in three cate gories. a full portion to those doing heavy work. q half portion to emploves of the sovie government and private house and general office work and one ! fourth Do. t,cn to people not engaged in any occupation.
 "The portions depend upon the SUD- plies at hand, a full portion generally being one pound of bread daily Sol | diers get an army portion of two | pounds of bread. and a half pound ot 1 meat daily and an additional monthly | allowance of two and one half pound: of sugar and one and one half pound. fats

Ereyl;nohausen's Assault

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-Disputing any assumption that President Wilson represents public sentiment in propos- ing Americas participation in the league of nations, Senator Freyling- hausen of New Jersey, republican, speaking today in the senate, demanded that the country be fully informed and allowed to express it's decision before the senate is called upon to ratify the peace treaty.
 pNhe president is the chosen leader of the United States" Senator Frey linghausen said. Any proposal which he makes will naturally carry with it great weight. If he proposes in behalf of the United States the use of the army and navy in order to preserve the peace of the world that depends on what position will the senate take in the matter.
 Consequently we will be free to re- ject anything which the president may negotiate We will not ever, however. be free from embarrassment should any nations say to us: Your chief execu- tive spoke in behalf of the American public and supposedly voiced their views.
 Senator Freylinghusen said that notwithstanding the fact that the pres ident gave assurances that the conchI- sion of peace was of ''transcendental l importance, spring has almost cone aui the president has returned without any treaty of peace"

KOREANS APPEAL ID
 UNITED STATES FUR INTERVENTION THERE
rRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

PEKING. Feb. 2S.-The members of the independent committee. represent ing the Korean people living in China have presented to the American minis ter a petition asking that the United States government intercede with the peace conference in behalf of the Ko- rean people.
 The document says. Your excel lency: We Koreans. who are exiles in China, respectfully present our case to the American minister to China and ask him to aid in our behalf
 Following the violent seizure of Ko- req by Japan, the Korean people wero nearly exterminated. Now, by the grace of God, the European war has been ended and the powerful monster has been destroyed. The great president of your country uphOlding human rights has declared that peoples have the right of self determination. From the depth of their bitterness the Korean people look 10 him with sincere grati- tude and beg your eXcellency to convey Co your government our prayers that the peace conference take up the problem of bettering the condition of our voiceless nation, containing two million oppressed people,
 Accompanying the petition is the fol- lowing document, setting forth the Ko-
 rean claims:
 Firstly. for four thousand years Ko- req was an independent nation. Secondly, the rulers of Korea during
 the last few hundreds of it's existence
 paid tribute in native products to China. China did not interfere with the
 internal administration of the country
 which had its own administration and
 was entirely independent. Third, using as a pretext the inde- 1 pendence of Korea, Japan went to wal | with China in 1894 and 1895. The treaty | Of Shimonoseki admitted the indepen- | dence of Korea. which was recognized ! by various foreign powers Japan's as- | sistance of Korea was only a pretexI
 for the purpose of robbing Korea of its lsovereignty and was actually in full | tillment of Japan's purpose to injurC | the Korean administration. | "F'ourthly. in 1904. Japan went to wal | with Russia. She declared that tn,
 war was fought to maintain the inde- | pendence of Korea.
 II "Fitthly. Japan annexed Korea ir lll9l0. abandoning her national homo land treaty obligations. The act was ii lItotal defiance of moral principles. Tha Twas in an age when might was righ band no nation offered objection or ex lltended pity 10 Korea.
 ll "Sixthly under the press-re of Japan the insane emperor of Korea gave U, i the sovereignty of the country. II 'Seventhly. One man, Ii War Yune knew about this act. Can one man giv lIprivately one nation tO another? Is i | la thing to be pawned? This was no
 the action of the nation but of it's em |peror.
 II "Eighthly, Japan surrounded the Ko lrean emperor's palace with troops of model army and spies were placed ev anywhere to terrorize the Koreans. II "Ninthly. paying them we'll Japa, bought the traitors of Korea. Many re fused 10 accept the filthy money an.

Member Flee Hot Debats

WEIMAR, Thursday. Feb. 2S.-Dis- cussion of the national army bill in the national assembly and a squabble over personalities that occurred this afternoon so greatly delayed the pro- cedure of the assembly that it was un- able even to begin the discussion of which had been set for today and the two days following. It was thought tonight that the constitution would come up tomorrow.
 The assembly ended the morning session with a recess which was to have lasted until 3:30 o'clock, but it was o'clock before the body actually reassembled. In then took up the bills for the re-enactment for the transition law. which provides broadly that the powers once vested in the emperor shall devolve upon the minister presi- dent, that the powers of the former bundescrat shall be lodged with the senate and those of the former chan cellor with the ministry.
 Speakers from every part of the country. talked at length to a nearly empty house. tre greater part of the members either having gone home or remaining in the lobbies.
 President Fehrenback had had enough with the morning session of the assembly, and when the recess came he handed over the duties of the presiding offer toe Vice President Conrad Haussmann, and disappeared for the day.

HERR HOHENzOLLERN CONTINUES ID LIVE
 QUIETLY IN HOLLAND

AMOREGEN, Feb. 2S. (By the As of Utrecht who has surveillance over the former German emperor visited the castle of Count von Bentinck last night, supposedly in connection with the re- cent activities of William Hohenzol- lern and German officials who have visited him. Since the publication in Holland of Assocated Press dispatches telling of these visits the officials have ceased to come here.
 The former monarch has not gone beyond the castle grounds in the last nine weeks and apparently has no ln- tention of moving to another location, although many reports have been cur rent regarding the leasing of castle at Hardenbroek near Doorn, which be- longs to another member Of the order of St John of Jerusalem. The core spondent visited Hardenbroek and found the castle mentioned to be all most entirely unfurnished. The only point in it's favor is it's lonely position, a mile from any other habitation.
 Herr Hohenzolledn's attendants also deny any intention of moving and this is strengthened by further precautions recently taken around the Von Ben tinck castle to shield it's guest from the public gaze. The rail openings in the wall above the garden had been thickly boarded and topped with barbed wire.
 While the eX-emperor performs his daily task of saving wood for three hours his wife strollS about the grounds, mostly alone. The former ruler is stiR engaged afternoons in re- plying personally to thousands of let ters of greeting received on the occa- sion of his recent birthday. It is re- ported that several efforts have been made by his supporters to induce him to return to Germany, but without sue cess.
 The German government apparently continues to pay the salaries of the former kaisers servants and even makes arrangements for them to be relieved at regular intervals, although his staff is much smaller than hitherto 1 Count Chamberlain von Gontard con- tinues his functions, still remaining 6
 state official under the orders of the l ''hoff marschallant." or lord chamber l lain's office in Berlin.
 1 General yon Estorff, who has been il i attendance upon his former imperia
 master, left today for a visit to Ger. many, accompanied by the younger
 von Bentinck, who was formerly in tn,
