RETURN RAILWAYS


Continued from Page One,
March 1 of the American Railways
Express company, which was formed
July l, 1918, under government direc-
ton by consolidation OF the Adams.
American. Wells-Fargo and Southern
companies.
Congress Is Blamed.
Extension by two months of the an
nounced time for return of the rail-
roads was made, said a statement from
the White House accompanying the
proclamation, because congress had
not enacted legislation to meet condi-
tions incident to the change in control
and operation. The president the
statement said, had been advised that
neither the railroads nor the express
properties if the plan to abandon gov
ernment supervision December 81
should be carried out.
Leaders in congress generally ex-
pressed approval of the presidents
action. Some members predicted that
enactment of the pending bin in some
form would enable a return prior to
March /. The Esch-Cummins bill,
now in conference between the senate
and house for adjustment of differ
ences, would return the roads at the
end of the calendar month in which
it was approved by the president.
Extension of time before return,
leaders said, would allow congress
more time to consider the pending
legislation, and this fact together with
the prospective struggle between the
two houses over anti-strike and finan-
cfal guarantee provisions, some MEM
bers said, might work to prevent final
enactment during January. This
would result in the roads being turned
back on the date designated by the
president.
Much Rebuilding Needed.
Chicago, Dec. 25.-Railroad execu-
tives expressed joy today at the fixing
of date for the return of railroads
to private control.

said.

Old Time Yuletide.

New York, Dec. 25.-And now comes
the reconstruction Christmas.
There's little old-fashioned, about
this after-tke-war Yu1etide, unless it's
the date and gift-giving observance.
Because of the war, the high cost of
living, prohibition, or just natural
shortage, these are things many
Americans are doing without this
Christmas:
Toms and Jerrys.
Egg-noggs.
Plum-pudding with brandy sauce.
Real mince meat with a kick"
Fifty-cents a pound turkey meat.
The old fashioned Christmas tree.
Sugar.
But what's lacking will be made up
in presents. Dealers have reported
the heaviest buying seaso,: on record.

dying a poor man. with S30.0O0,0OO
late Henry c. Frick. at first estimated
at $117, 100000 finally was reduced to

RockefeIler's memorandum accom-
panying Lees announcement said:
1.-The attention of the American pub
lie has recently been called to the
urgent and immediate necessity of
providing more adequate salaries to
members of the teaching profession.
1t is OF highest Importance that, those
entrusted with the education of youth
and the increase of knowledge should
not be led to abandon their calling by
reason of the pressure or to cling to it
amid discouragements due to finan
ciaI limitations
Five million dollars of the S50,000,-
900 given to the education board,
Rockefeller created institution, was
for the benefit of Canadia medical
schools, the announcement said.

COLONEL BECK IS DEAD
Veteran Booster of Hutchinson Died
in Practical Poverty.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 25.-The re
mains of Col. Luther A. Beebe, the
man who introduced electric lights
and telephones to Hutchinson. were
laid at rest yesterday, at a funeral
conducted by the Grand Army post
and the Chamber of Commerce.
Colonel Beebe for more than thirty
years was one of the town builders
of Hutchinson, but his last years were
spent alone and helpless, and practi-
cally in poverty. He was injured five
years ago in a fall, from which he
never recovered.
In the early 'sOs, Colonel Beebe
established the waterworks, electric
light plant and telephone system in
Hutchinson, remaining as manager
for many years. Later he was mana
ger of the street railway system. For
twenty years he was secretary of the
Hutchinson Commercial club.
He was a veteran of the Civil war,
serving in a New York heavy artillery
unit. After the war he was connected
with the Chicago postoffice, and while
there installed the system of having
the incoming mail distributed on the
railway cars. This was the beginning
of the present railway postal service.

what he considered the spread of a
revolutionary spirit. called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom
ised a contingent of 10000 troops.
Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement Of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by sim
liar movement on the part of the
French. A conference of the five great
powers was then sitting in London to
settle the question Of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish insurrectiOn, which now broke
out gave the Gar all he could attend
to at home, Austria was harnssed by
tn" Italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied in guarding her eastern
frontiers. So England and France
were allowed to have their way. which
was the way of Belgian independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress of London issued sew
eral protocols intended to settle mat
ters but failed to do so. One STUN
bling block was Luxembourg, which Hol-
land refused to give up and Belgium
claimed deputies from that duchy sit
ting in the new national assembly.
Prince Leopold of Coburg was offered
the Belgian crown but refused to ac-
cept 1t until matters were settled more
TO the liking Of the Belgians. The
Dutch refused to evacuate Belgium
and a French army marched In. the
Dutch retiring before 1t.
On November IS. 1881. the represen-

The province of Limburg was given to
Holland and the boundaries of Belgium

recognized and the neutrality of the
kingdom solemnly guaranteed.
The Gar would not ratify this
treaty, altnOuSn MS ENJOYS nan signed

But now King William of Holland
balked. He refused to evacuate Ant

diate and be quick about it They did
so and an armistice was signed be-
tween Bulgaria, Serbia and Montene-
gro on one side and Turkey on the
other on December 3.
Greece refused to sign any arInistice
while .Janina, the Albanian capital, re-
mained in Turkish hands, and contin-
ued to attack that city. The powers
hurriedly got together in peace con
ference in London. There was no
coming to terms with the Turk, and on
February 3, 1913, hoStilities were re-
sumed The Greeks captured Janina,
and the BuIgarians drove in the Tcha-
talja line. A Bulgarian and Serbian
army took Adrianople with the Turk
ish commander and 10000 prisoners.
Scutari in Albania was besieged by a
Montenegrin and Serbian army, ana
Greek men-ofwar in the Adriatic were
cooperating with the troops.
Powers Could Not Agree.
The powers were frantic and could
not agree among themselves. But on
April 10, 1913, another armistice was
signed, and on May 30 the belligerents
signed at London treaty of peace
with Turkey BY this treaty Turkey
surrendered to the Balkan allies the
island of Crete and all territory on
the European mainland west of the
Enos- Midia line, and left the ADJUST
ment of the Albanian frontiers and the
disposal of the Aegean islands to the
powers, which meant that Turkey gave
up all her European possessions ex-
cept COnstantinOple and the country
Immediately back Of 1t.
But the ink on the treaty was not
, dry when the Balkan states began
to quarrel with each other over the
spoils.
Thirty days after the treaty of Lon
don had been signed they were all Mt
it again, with Roumania now playing
part. The Bulgarians attacked the
Greeks in the Panghaion district and
fought three days battle with the
Serbians, ending on July 80.
Bulgaria Declares War.
Three days later Bulgaria declared
war against Greece and Serbia, and
Montenegro declared war upon Bulga-
ria, ROumanin declared war against
Bulgaria on July 10, and Turkey at
the same time sent IN army forth and
captured Adrianople without trouble.
The Bulgarans stubbornly resisted
the advance of the Greek army north,
but King Constantine pressed on
| toward Sofia. The Montenegrins and
Serbs hurled back the Bulgarians IN
the west, and King Ferdinand sued
for peace.
And now n new arrangement of the
belligerent Balkans Is in progress.
