Paris Papers Pessimistic

PARIS, Jan. 1.-The newspapers of today print their customary leading editorials of the new year and almost without exception take their text from the advent of peace. Most of the jour uals hail 1919 as the year of peace" The socialistic newspapers, however, strike a pessimistic note in speaking of what they call the divergencies in the views between President Wilson and Premier Clemenceau.
 ~Other newspapers of moderate opin- ions, as well as those of national lean ings, appear to take inspiration from the premier's utterances and say that the peace will be effective in propor- ton as the guarantees. such as are asked for by M. Clemenceau, are as sured.
 The Temps which refers to President Wilson as a worthy heir to the pill grims of the Mayflower," says:
 ttIt is necessary to work for a new older of things-for the reign of justice in the world. The more we believe in that ideal, the more we must apply ourselves to give it basis in conform ity with experience. Its real apostles are not dreamers. They are realists like the pilgrims of the Mayflower."

SECOND N. '. COMPANY
 FACING BANKRUPTCY

NEW YORK, Jan 1.-Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit company which op crates the subway and elevated lines in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. addressed a letter to the mu- nicipal government tonight, declaring that unless an eight-cent fare is granted, the company faces bank ruptcy.
 The appeal to the administration was made as a partner in the dual subway contracts" under which the underground transportation lines are being built jointly by the city and corporation. He pointed out that for the year ending June 30, last, there was a deficit of approximately s. 900, 900 in subway and elevated earn ings compared with the amounts which the company was entitled to receive under it's operating contract.
 For the next three years,'' said MT.
 Shonts, If the fare remains at five cents, the city will have to raise by taxation, on account of interest and sinking fund on it's investment in the Interborough subway, sums aggregat- ing 12,000, 900. irrespective of interest on the city's other bonds. If the fare is increased to eight cents, recourse to taxation will not only be prevented but the city will receive from the h. thorough lines over s2,000,000 in cash MT. Shonts' letter came close upon the heels of the appointment of q l temporary receiver for the Brooklyn 1 Rapid Transit conHsany. ~ was fol 1 lowed by a statement by Travis Ii Whitney, a member of the public ser, vice commission, in which be declared
 "a crisis is spon the city" because | the board of estimate has refused tC
