preliminary report regarding the COM
pany's financial condition made last
week by Stone q Webster. who said that
an eight cent fare was necessary. Ac-
cordihg to this report the operating
deficit would continue, with reductions
year by year, until 1924, when there
would be a surplus of $S64,000 The ac-
cumulated deficits for the five years, be-
ginning this year. would amount to
about S15,000,000 to meet which the
company would have to borrow the
money unless additional revenue in
higher fares was provided. These figures
were based on the rates OF wages
before the strike.
The strike award estimated by Mr.
Quackenbush at about $4,000. 900 an
nually would in the Ave yeads add
s25, 900, 900 to the deficit, so that the
total amount to be borrowed would be
$40. 100000, and because of the addi-
tional wages that must be paid the time

RUSS DELEGATES
AT PEACE meet
tBy Associated Press)

PARIS, Friday. Jan. lot is under
stood on best authority that negotia-
tions have been under way for some
time between the allies looking to
possible representation of all the diff
ferent parties of Russia at the peace
congress. 1t is understood the admis-
sion of these delegates would be on
the condition that truce between
them be declared and accepted during
the period covered by peace negotia-
tionS.
This proposition. which Is supposed
to emanate from the British govern
ment, is not accepted in it's present
form by France which refuses to rec
ognize the Bolshevists in any form.
1t is pointed out that recognition Of
the Bolshevists by the admission Of
their representatives to the peace con-
gress would, in the estimation of the
French authorities give their propa-
gando force and promote an exten-
sion of the Bolshevist movement, OF
which the allies might be the first
victims At the same time the French
government is known to be disposed
to lend all possible aid to orderly ele-
ments in Russia, wherever they may
be reached.

PARIS, Jan. 11.-Problems of great
have been occupying
President Wilson during the time he
has waited for the opening OF con-
versations with the premiers OF the al
lied nations, he has been devotlng
to close study OF the food SIT
uation, the acute question OF demool-
lization and the extent to which ne
will support the claims it is expected
Italy will make at the peace congress.
American participation in allied inter-
vention in Russia and Poland or other
countries and the Bolshevtst move
ment are problems also considered out
they are not looked upon as para
mount at this time.
1t is understood that Mr.. Wilson has
informed premier Orlando OF Italy as
to his attitude relative to italian as
pirations east of the Adratic. 1t may
be said that the presidents decision
as to this question can be described
as only partial endorsement OF
Italy's claims, he Is not expected to ap-
prove Italian domination OF the Ad-
riatic but he will probably support
Italy's demand that her eastern coast
be made safe from military threats.

earnest consideration.
There is a collateral isue in connec-
ton with the food situation which
vitality concerns the economic situa-
ton in the United States and which
has not been as yet fully worked out
Large contracts for food supplies IN
the United States were cancelled very
recently by France and Great Britain.
France, after coming to an understand
ing of the fact that American farmers
had been spurred to food production
by promise that their crops would
surely be marketed at good prices, was
willing to renew some OF these con-
tracts but negotiations with Great
Britain have not so far been success
full. A favorable outcome is hoped for
however, but if the British contracts
cannot be continued, it is plain to ex-
perts here that some other market
must be found for the immense quantf-
ties of food stuffs produced In the
United States in response to continued
appeals that the allies must be fed.
1t is pointed out that American con-
sumers have borne the burden OF high
prices partially for the reason that
those prices are necessary to stimulate
production. Exports to neutral coun-
tries may open a way for relieving the
situation. To that end negotiations are
under way for a partial relaxation OF
the blockade.
The rehabilitation problem is prob
ably the most acute Of all. 1t is so
delicate that 1t is not openly discussed
but recent incidents in England caused
by the unwillingness of British sol

diers to return to the continent, are
regarded here by Americans and
others as an indication of what might
be cause for grave apprehension. Some
military men feel, 1t is understood,
that the withdrawal of the American
troops from France might bring de-
mand from French soldiers to be re-
turned to their peace time employ
ments.
President Wilson is studying this
condition, the importance of which is
not to be underestimated. He is try

will restore the nations to a peace
basis and still not separate the league

making of peace. He is understood to
