SAYS HOUSE OF
ALL PEOPLE IS

Body of International
Representatives Is
Canadians Plan.

Paris, Sunday, Feb. 2.-(By the
Associated Press.) - Charles j.
Doherty, Canadian minister of
justice, who has proposed to the
peace conference that an interna-
tional peoples house of Tepresen-
tatives be established, said today
in discussing the subject:
prevention. of war is not the
concern of governmental power
alone. 1t is the Interest o: hu-
manity itself. A sovereign state
is not organized with "a view to
eXerting any restraining influence
over its own action toward other
states. If war is to be prevented,
or its likelihood diminished, sue
cess can be attained only by the
existence somewhere, if not power
that will control. at least influence.
which will restrain the absolute
of organized states in
dealings with each other
Whence is that power or inf1u-
ence to be derived if not from the
peoples inhabiting the different
states, whose every interest de-
mands the suppression of war?
described is that the action of
those states themselves, to the eX-
clusion of other peoples who are
to be affected by the decisions
reached. 1t must be remembered
that it is not merely the peoples
Of states Immediately concerned
who are affected by war. but all
mankind.
If this plan is adopted. we can
look forward to a system of inter
relations maintained by
an aggregate of popular force,
intolerant of any at
tempt to substitute an appeal to
the sword of methods of the coun-
Gil chamber. We will be assured
that behind the cooperation of
states, and holding them firmly TO
it, are the worlds peoples speak
ing and acting by and through
their duly chosen representatives. "

London, Feb. 3.-The abolition of
submarines as warships may be de-
cided upon by the league of ma

said that this was one of the sew

FORMER RULER
OF AUSTRIA TO
DIVORCE WIFE?
Reported Action Seen
as kaiser's Revenge
Against Zita.

Prague, Feb. 3.-Ex- Emperor
Karl, according to the Prayer Tage-
blatt, is contemplating a divorce
action against former Empress
Zita
An alleged intrigue on the part
of the ex-Empress in connection
with the famous peace letter to
Prince Sixtus will be the basis of
his action. the paper asserts.
What part eX-kaiSer Wilhelm
has had in influencing Karl against
the alleged pro-ally Zita can only be
cOnjectured. but his vow of revenge
upon her after she had written him
shortly before Austria capitulated
that only an early peace could pre-
serve the Austrian dynasty is sig
nificantly recalled.
Whatever misfortune may befall
me-" the kaiser pledged, Il shall
have my revenge on that low trait
Dress"
Here is the text of Zita's letter to
the kaiser. written in the last days
of the war:
Our only chance to preserve the
dynasty (Austro-Hungarian) is an
early peace at any price. But Karl
and l are prepared for the worst
and will receive what is in store
for us without a murmur. How
ever, l should like to have you
know that I myself made every eff
fort to induce Ferdinand TO make
peace with our enemies. Knowing
what your twenty-five years of rule
= 1,a
meant for Karl and 1 had you been
successful against our enemies, we
resign ourselves to fate with the
satisfaction that after us you, too,
will be no more"
After the ascension of Karl and
Zita to the Austrian throne in the
midst of the war the comingS and
goings of Zita's brother, Sixtus de
Bourbon Parma. between Belgium
and Switzerland began to attract
a good deal of attention in Vienna
and especially at court.
His mother, the Duchess Marie
Antonia, disdained to make any Sc
cret of her travels to Berne and of
the long interviews which took
place there between her and her
prO-ally son. so that the matter be-
came court scandal.
karl's watchful mother took it
upon herself to interfere. Tact is
not her strongest characteristic and
her interference took the shape of
open remonstrances with the EN-
press Zita in the presence of the
emperor himself.
In the course of a rather warm
discussion the grand duchess al
luded to the two Parma princes
Prince Sixtus and his brother
who were serving with the Belgians
as traitors.
The empress turned livid with
passion and Karl openly rebuked
his mother.
They are not traitors" he de-
Clared hotly. mo man should be
called a traitor who backs his
convictions with his good. bright
sword.

Give CONTROL FlvE-YEAR|
TRIAL OR RELEASE ROADS,
NOW SAYS US. RAIL KEAD'
HERE ARE HINES
ARGUMENTS FOR
5-YEAR CONTROL

Washington, Feb. director
General Hines presented the fol-
lowing arguments for a five-year
extension:
1T will give advocates of gov
ernment ownership full opportunity
to press their views without being
Influenced by the temporary re-
action against government control
1T will remove the necessity of
undue haste in solving such a big
problem as the future of the rail-
roads.
1T will stabilize employment and
wage conditions, prosecution of a
big program of improvement and
extensions, TO take up the slack IN
employment during the critical
period of readjustment.
1T will protect security holders
pending an ultimate solution.
1T will minimize the danger Of
making the railroad question pure
ly Il partisan question to be solved
in an illogical manner in a preEi-
Dental election
On the other hand. Mr.. Hines
said that if the extension were
not made the railroads would be re
linquished before expiration of the
21 months. He made in substance
three explanations:
There is now reaction from
patriotic tension of the war times,
resulting in a critical and hostile
attitude by the public toward gov
ernment management and this
makes control difficult
Proponents of particular theor-
les of railroad operation are find
ing in government control under
abnormal war conditions, and of the
present inadequate and tempOr-
ary" form, arguments for support
ing their varying theories.
The uncertainty of the future
questions of payment of employees
would increase as the 81 months
period would draw to a close.
"Twenty-one months is not
enough to complete the present
extensions and improvements.
EARLY relinquishment would not
cause any more chaotic condition
now than later, even under legisla-
ton providing a reform scheme
"Old rates would not go into eff
feet automatically with cessation of
government control. and railroad
companies would not be thrown In
to bankruptcy. as has been feared"
Mr., Hines said that he believed
that the courts and the interstate
commerce commission would up
hold the present level of rates, and
that the railroads were unduly
alarmed over prospects of financial
disaster in case their properties
were returned soon to private man
agement.

low rates and those which fail on
high rates.
Let Labor Share Profit.
A permanent solution, Mr.. Hines
said, should give the government
and perhaps labor, participation in
excess profits of some companies
under standard rates. Plans here
tofdre proposed will be based on
the theory that railroads should
receive a reasonable return, no
more and no less, but in actual re
suits, he believed the return would
Re inexact and widely fiuctuating.
Failure OF the pending plans to
meet these fundamentals, said Mr.
Hines. will tend to prevent their
receiving general acceptance and
will not solve the question salts
factorily. He added that proposed
plans for pooling and consolida-
tons will prove illusory because
they cannot successfully be made
compulsory.

London, Feb. 3.-The strike
fever which has become epidemic
in the United Kingdom, spread to
London today and the present
week promises to be critical one
industrially for the metropolis
There have been a few strikes in
the city during the last few weeks
but the seriousness OF the situation
was not brought directly home to
LondoneTs until this morning when
they found the entrances to the
principal tube stations closed TO
them owing TO the midnight de-
cision of the employees nc. to move

luncheon interval were allowed
them in their new eight-hour day.
Only Two Operate.
The electric systems of the Lon

way, which serves mary of the
important suburbs, sucE as Rich
mond, also was partly stopped
There were only two underground
lines, and the Hampstead railways,
operating this morning. hut unless
the strike is quickly settled these
lines appear likely to be in the
same position as the others.
The underground railway man
agement in a statement today de-
clared that although the men now
were demanding a Commute in
terval for meal time within the
eight-hour day, the agreement
made when the eight-hour day was
granted provided that the eight
hours should be exclusive of meal
time. but that a special committee
should meet Feb. 10. to deal with
any special points that might arise.
At the majority of the meetings
held by the workers yesterday it
was decided to leave The meal
time question IN allegiance pending
this meeting, the statement adds,
but the drivers of the tube trains
refused to abide by this and four
of the lines were forced to sus-
pend operations, partial service
being maintained on the other two.
More to Strike.
Another strike that will bring
home TO Londoners a serious sit
uation is that threatened by the
workers in the large hctels, who
are to decide today whether after
dinner tonight they shall strike to
enforce demands for shorter
hours. better wages and improved
conditions.
The next stoppage on the pro-
gram is that of the engineers, who
expect to go on strike Thursday
for a 40-hour week. A similar de-
mand is engaging the attention of
