"The people Mt home have not been

The development Of Canada's war in

the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up In four short years. In De-

The same paper says:
1T Is q new Canada that energies
from the world war in 191S--a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict In 1914.
'.The war has taken from Canada q
cruel toll. More than $4,000 of her

Europe. Three times that number
have been more or less incapacitated
BY wounds. The cost of the war in

yet presented their views to the Sen.
ate committee. =.
Among the objections expressed by
senators to the railroads plans. out.
lined by T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
OF the association of railway execu.
tfves, was that II government super.
vision were vested principally in a
secretary of transportation, politics
might play large part in railway
policies. and there might be no con.
slant policy containing through the
changes of administration.
These questions were raised by Sen.
ators Cummins Of Iowa and Smith Of
South Carolina. Another objection
was II the railroads are guaranteed by
law an adequate return, they should
not also have power to determine
rates, even though these rates were
subject to veto by the secretary Of
transportation and modification by the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Senator Underwood of Alabama suk.
gested that the government should
have the authority to dictate details
of the rate structure.

Peace Negotiations.
DELAY DISAPPOINTING.
slowness in Starting Surprising to
v. s. DeIegates-Apreement Of
Allies on Chief Points In Six i
Weeks Probable.

Paris. Jan. '11.-Conferences taking
place between the Americans, British
and French probably will develop Just
how much progress may be expected
before President Wilson goes home In
February. 1t is settled that when he
reaches America one of his first acts
will be to address congress and re-
port on what has been accomplished.
Some trained diplomats among the
Americans here are agreed that the
most Mr.. Wilson can hope to report
probably will be general undertake
ing of the widest sort upon set Of
principles which must be left to be
applied by the peace congress.
Delegations Still Unorsanized.
Each of the bodies of peace COM
missioners will necessarily go through
an organization process. This work
has taken the Americans month and
even now they are only partly ready.
The French, Of course, have their or.
ganization on the spot.
The British have brought over from
England highly developed machine
ready to function. These essential
preliminaries will not necessarily de.
lay the informal conversations but
they will delay the working of group"
plan conferences by which the princi.
pal belligerents expect to thresh
out points which interest neutrals,
acknowledgements or minor nations en-
gagged in the war and reduce their re-.
suits to memoranda which are to 20
to the peace congress for inclusion in
the final settlement.
Delay Disappoints Wilson.
President Wilson's feeling on com.
ing to Europe as early as he did was
that all the Entente governments had
made their preparations to get down
to talking peace. 1t is not an over.
statement Of the case to say that Mr..
Wilson and the American commission
ers have been disappointed in meeting
with delays.
Up to the present all the progress
that has been made has been in
President Wilson's conferences with
French, British and Italian statesmen.
The president for his part is said to
have felt that it was not prudent to
disclose what went on, although he
intends that the proceedings shall go
on in the way of open diplomacy when
he feels it is safe to lift the curtain.
