WAsHINGroS, Jan. l.-The Govern

in 1915 is calculated by Railroad Ad-
ministration officials at about $3.50. 900
900. This represents the difference be-
tween the aggregate amount the Gov
ernment will be compelled to rsy rail-
road companies as rental for ,.c use or
their properties--the so-callel Cuaran-
teed return--and the net income from
the railroads.
1t will take six months rlnre of re-
ceipts from the inCrea sed freight rates

Operating revenues for the entire year,
officials calculate probably amounted 10
$4,000, 900, 900. more than ever before in
railroad history, and operating expenses
probably ran up to s3,SOO. .O0O,O0O This
left billion dollars Of net revenue,
which was cut down more than $780,

rentals for equipment not owned by
railroad companies and other incidental
losses
For the railroads 1919 broke all rec
ords OF revenues and expenses. Although
receipts were nearly 20 per cent. greater
expenses were even more. II took So
per cent. of the operating revenues Ia
pay expenses. although only 10 per cent
was taken for this purpose in 1917 Op-
Grating expenses, which with estimated
figures for the las two months amounted
10 $4,000, 100000. were a billion dollars
more than IN 1917. Increased wages are
estimated variousy to have been re-
sponsible for between $500. 900, 900 and
$500, 600, 900 OF this billion.

1t Is probable that Mr.. Hines will be
named Director General before Mr..

Though no inkling as to the name OF

more and more convinced that the rail-

June 30 is regarded here as the mos,

Clear Bolshevik Trenches.

BeGinninG Monday morning with an
artillery attack, the Americans advanced
across the frozen Emsa River. where
their positions have for more than
month been located in icy dugouts on
the bank OF tho stream, bordering the
destroyed bridge at the crossing of the
petroIrad road. They crossed the stream
and cleared the Bolshevik trenches and
machine gun emplacements on the op-
posite bank.
The Americans then pushed forward
two miles to the village, fighting their
way under the protection of Canadian
artillery which was able to place shells
almost al will in kadsh. The fur clad
American thanking parties in the frozen
swamps bordering on he road con-
trihuted materially to the American sue
cess.
TIE recapture OF kadish gives the
American troops good winter pos ton
in the bloCkhouses they have built.
Since the retirement from the town early
in November the troops on this sector
had had virtually no shelter, the front
lines beiug unable to build fires for fear
Of the artillery and snipers o. the op-
pos.te bank OF the narrow Emsta
River.
PreDeration for yesterdays attack on
Kadish was carried out under conditions
met with nowhere except in a semi Arctic
wilderness. A battery Of heavy howitz-
erS had to he brought on sleighs eighty
miles on rough trail through the
wilderness.

LONDON, Jan. |. - The

novel defense" for Germany's
part in precipitating the world
war. 1t says:
"He whose senses are not
diseased will never admit that we
alone were responsible for the
tragedy. No observer in those
fateful August days can fail to
come to the conclusion that other
nations are equally guilty, for
had they been united, instead of
torn by internal strife, they
would have had the power to
prevent those among US who were
blinded by false glamour from
unleashing the dogs of war.
THE only guilt that lies on us
rather than on our leaders is
that once the sword was drawn
we saw that our salvation lay
only in trying by every favorable
opportunity to use the. sword to
tread the narrow path Of peace"
