many because the Germans had
financed the Bolsheviki in Russia.
Literature prepared by radical So
cieties in this country was read to
the subcommittee by Mr.. Stevenson,
including propaganda put out by I. w.
W. leaders recently tried and con-
victed in Chicago.
Stevenson submitted to the commit
tee a list of organizations conspiCu-
ously identified with the pacifists'
movement in the United States, to-
gether with a number of names of
persons connected with the organiza-
tions. Among the organizations cited
by the witness were American Union
Against Militarism. Collegiate Anti
Militaristic League, Fellowship of the
Reconciliation, National Civil Liberties
League, International Bible Students
Association, Emergency Peace FEEDER
alton, American Neutral Conference
Committee. Peoples Council of Amer
lea for Peace. Liberty Defense Union.
International Commission of Women
for Peace. The last named was or
ganized at The Hague, and its branch
in this country is known as the Wom-
ems International League.
Stevenson stated that there was no
evidence to show that any of these
organizations had received German
money, although they had been favor
ably regarded by the German propa-
ganda bureau.
An affidavit by /. N. Stevens. former
owner of the Pueblo Chieftain, of
Colorado, denounced the testimony of

In regard to the bootleg" cases,
numerous suspects were brought

the police department lacked con-

Another question which will sure

Washington Railway and Electric
Company is not complainant in any
of the cases. Although most con-
cerned, it is not prosecuting in any
of the cases.
The cases which were to have

HINES EXPLAINS
R. R. FINANCE
More Money Needed for
Permanent Improvements.
Amounts to be Refunded.

How SO0.o0o.OOO was spent in the first
year of government operation of rail-
roads was explained yesterday by
Federal Administrator Walker D.
Hines. The necessity for a large addi-
tional appropriation was pointed out.
Hines declared that the s5oOOoo. 900 was
not lost to the government, and would
ultimately be returned when the roads
were returned to private control.
Mr.. Hines said:
I'm view of the constant discussion
of the railroad problem which natural
ly is now going on because of the
pendency of the issue before Congress,
and since a great deal of stress is be-
ing laid upon the financial condition
of the carriers, it should be helpful to
comprehend some outstanding facts
regarding the so-called revolving fund
of $500, 900 900 appropriated by Congress.
The mere fact OF taking over the
railroads as going concerns involved
the temporary absorption of about
SS40. .ooo, 900 of the governments money.
More improvements Coming.
at must also be remembered that it
has been the policy of the government
that the Railroad Administration shall
finance temporarily a large part of
the permanent improvements which
have been made and which still must
be made by the railroads during Fed
eral control. The amount required for
these purposes promises to be several
hundred million dollars, which like
wise will ultimately be returned to the
government.
TT is evident. therefore, that the
absorption of the original $500, ooo. 900
appropriation and the making of a
very large additional appropriation
will be needed for these essential pur-
poses entirely apart from any question
of losses which were incurred in op-
Grafton during the war conditions
which confronted the railroads in the
frst year Of government control"

CLARK DEFENDS
ENVOY FRANCIS
Speaker Declares Ambas-
sador to Russia Not Afraid
of Devil Himself.

Champ Clark arose in vigorous
defense of David r. Francis, Am
bassadOr to Russia, in the House
yesterday.
Referring to an intimation that
Mr. Francis was not courageous, Mr.
Clark said
Let me tell you something. A
man born in Kentucky and raised in
Missouri is not afraid of the devil
himself"
Mr.. Clark continued: Now, l hold
no brief for Ambassador Francis.
What did he do that the representa-
tives Of other great powers did not
do, or what did he fail to do that
the representatives of the other
great powers did? The truth is that
there is not a man on earth that
knows really what is going on in
Russia. With $50. 900, 900 people, di-
vided into about thirty. thirty-five.
or forty natiOnaIities. each one of
them at the others throat, all those
ambassadors over there could do
was to take care of Americans as
we'll as they could.
So Tar as the American Ambassa-
dor is concerned, l will stand by
him. because ne has been accredited
over there by the chief of Ameri-
cans now living. and l think gem
tlemen would naturally keep COM
pany with our American representa-
tiyes abroad"

Board Finds Men Sincere
and Baker Orders Re-

Release of 1t3 conscientious objectors
now held at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
was ordered yesterday by Secretary
of War Baker.
The men were included in two
classes, thirty in the first group, be-
ing those men who, upon examination
before a special board of inquiry, were
found to be sincere in their objections
and were recommended for furlough
by the board. The second group, COM
prising eighty-three men. were those
who had been convicted by court-mar-
tial, but who, upon re-examination
by the board, were found to be sim
cere.
Secretary Baker ordered that the
uncompleted portions of sentences be
remitted. and that both classes be dis
charged Immediately from the army.
Their discharge papers will set forth
that they were. conscientious objec-
tors, who did no military duty what
soever, and who refused to wear the

Paris, Jan. 1.-The peace confer

days. but Lloyd George has had one
put over" on him. It happened in
this manner.
The American doughboys attached
to the Signal Corps had been as
signed for historical purposes to take
moving pictures of the statesmen as
they were departing from the Qua
D'Orsay.
Today the little British premier
came out of the door in double-quick
time. He looked as though nothing
could stop him. and the photograph
ers threw up their hands in despair
AS last chance, one of them placed
himself directly in the prime minis
ter's way and said:
Mr.. Lloyd George, just a minute
LOOK at that camera over there. !
took that camera from a German Of
ncer at the front. I had to kill him
to do it"

premier, swinging around and CIV
