HINES VISITS CHICAGO
Railway Director General Speaks
Before Press Club.
Asserts Some Form of Private Man.
asement Will Follow End Of
Government Control.

Chicago, March o. Walker D.
Hines, who made his first official visit
to Chicago as director general of rail-
roads, speaking at a Press club din
ner, said the time now is propitious
for solving the railroads problems
with the public more nearly apprecia-
tive of the service of the lines than
eve before.
Also, he said, the expenditures re.
quired Of the government for operation
Of the roads would not show as great
a loss as many people suppose.
Observing how "the conflict has
made things happen NOR quickly"
while the world has been moving
rapidly toward the >eight-hour day."
said Mr.. Hines, "the issue came more
quickly with the war. The govern
ment had to follow a policy of uni
formity with respect to wages and
hours. Higher wages and improve
ments would have come anyway, but
the war made them come quicker.
In speaking of "a permanent solu-
ton of the railroad question:" the df.
sector-general concluded by saying he
believed "some form of private. man.
agement would follow the termina-
ton of government control" But he
asserted the old plan of private opera
ton by some ITO companies would
never again be successful.

Paris, March 29.-The proposed

have pointed out. providing for recog-
milton Of the binding force of the poll

Premiers Discuss Poland.
The conditions of a preliminary
peace with Germany are still being
considered by President Wilson and
the premiers of Great Britain, France
and Italy. The four government heads
deliberated on the question of the
Polish frontier, according to the news
papers, which believe that there will
be some difficulty in reaching an agree
ment on the principle of the annexa-
ton to Poland OF territory containing
two to three million Germans.
The papers believe that the council
will reach a decision sooner on the
question of reparations than on the
Polish question.

The council of four continued its tx,
animation into the question of the
German frontier. France claimed all

1t was demanded by the French del

Increased precautions have beer
taken to safeguard President Wilson
and the premiers with whom he is il

the plans been made that not even thu

Firm in Attitude That Polish
Troops Must Not Disembark
at Danzig.
May HALT ARM|STICE
German Government Moving up
Troops and Guns Following Refusal
-BuIqarians MobiIizing on Serbi-
an Front According to Report.

! Berlin, March 31.-The lokal
Anzeiger publishes a statement
that it understands a suspension
of the armistice with the Entente
Allies is possible.
Copenhagen, March 31.-The
German governments reply to the
Allied demand that Polish troops
be allowed to land at Danzig, de-
clared the armistice requires that
only the Allies be permitted free
dom in crossing the Vistula river,
according to advices from Berlin.
Paris, March, 31.-Serbian peace
delegates are reported to have received
information that Bulgarian troops are
mobilizing on the Serbian frontier.
General Pechitch, assistant chief of
the Serbian general staff, is under
stood to have left Paris for Belgrade.
The Polish situation, which has be-
come highly important through Ger
many's apparent defiance regarding
Danzig, was discussed by the Allied
leaders.
Huns Moving Up Troops.
Information has been received by
the French government that, follow
ing Germany's refusal to allow Polish
divisions from France to land at Dan
zig, the Germans have begun to move
new troops and heavy guns into that
region.
The "big four" was expected to ar
rive at some definite decision as to
how this new crisis will be met. 1t
was believed the delegates feel that
the situation demands immediate and
firm pressure be brought to bear on
the Germans.
The recent note sent by the Allies
to the German armistice commission
at Spa regarding the landing of Gen
eral Haller's Polish forces at DanZig
did not take the form OF an ultimatum
as stated by the Berlin newspapers,
according to Marcel Hutin in the Echo
de Paris.
The "big four and the foreign min
listers, in their present conferences,
are covering the vast territory extend
ing from the Rhine to the Vjstula and
from the Adriatic to the Baltic. In
addition there is the ever present ques-
ton Of reparation.
Red Peril Uppermost.
The Bolsheviki, however, continue to
form the principal subject for informal
discussion among the delegates. A
military policy regarding the bolshe-
wiki, apparently, is taking more def.
mite form and the summoning of Gen
eral Mangin to Paris is regarded 'as
significant, in connection with plans
advanced by the French. These plans
anticipate establishment of a firm line
from the Black sea to the Baltic tc
hold back the tide of bolshevism
Whether such a plan will remain de
fensive or would assume the offensive
as the best means of defense, is prob
lematical.
1t is now revealed that William Bull
lit, special Investigator for the Ameri
can delegation, saw Premier Lenine
while in Petrograd. When his repor1
is made public it is expected to revea

SHIPBUILDERS WILL MEET FAST
ELEVEN FROM FIT. BARRANCAS SUNDAY

Without doubt the fastest and
hardest game of football this season
will be played at Maxent Park, Sun
day. when the Fort Barrancas eleven
and the Shipbuilders clash on the
gridiron. Both teams have been prac-
Using very hard during the week.
1t will be remembered that the Ship
builders trimmed the Pensacola ALI
Stars last Sunday to the tune of $50.
However, the game was good one
and it showed some very good judg-
ment on the part of Moseley, the Ship
builders quarterback, when he kept
his passes down low, that the wind
might not carry them off from his
ends.
In next Sundays game the Ship
builders will be strengthened at CEN
ter by Alfred, who played such a
brilliant game for the All-Stars. Dud-
ley Hunt will be seen out on an end
for the Shipbuilders. He was to have
played in the back field, but Ellis will
not be here for the game. Hunt played
end for Dartmouth University and his
speed, weight and knowledge of the
game will be an interesting factor.
Very little information can be OBJ
tanned from the army team, but Letd
Bennett, the athletic officer at the
post, states that he has the best team
ever turned out at Barrancas 1t is a
well-known fact that he has several
