His message was sent from Wierin.
gen island, Holland, and similar cable.
grams are understood to have been
forwarded to the kings of England,

an and the president of France. The
message to President Wilson follows:
ITO the President of the United
States of North America, MI. Will.
son, Washington.
Mr.. President-The demand for de.
livery of Germans of every walk Of life
has again confronted my country, sore.
ly tried by four years of war and one
year Of evere internal struggles, with
a crisis that is without a precedent
in the history of the world as affect.
ing the life of a people. That a gov.
eminent can be found in Germany
which would carry out the demanded
surrender is out Of the question:; the
consequences to Europe of an enforce.
ment of the demand by violence are
i~ncalculable. Hatred and revenge
woul be made eternal.
"As the former successor to the
throne of my fatherland, l am willing
at this fateful hour to stand up for
my compatriots. If the Allied and as.
ISOLATED governments want a victim
let them take me instead of the 900
Germans who have committed no of.

country in war.

President Will Provide Commits
sion of Wage Experts to
Deal With Question.
STRIKE IS POSTPONED
Decision-May Hold UP De.
mands Until Owners Re.
sumo Control.

WaShington.-The railroad wage
controversy was referred to a general
conference of union committeeman,
called to meet here on February %
for final decision as to whether the
demands for increased pay will be
pressed on the government or passed
on to corporations soon to eSum con-
troll Of their properties.
Representatives of the II unions
who have been comforting With Direc-
tor General Hines since February 5,
and whose spokesman laid their claims
before President Wilson. have tenta-
lively accepted the White House pro-
posal for a tribunal, created either
by law or on the presidents motion,
to consider the demands.
While union leaders feared the
effort of further delay on their menl-
bership, the possibility Of 4 general
strike appeared more remote Satur-
day. Officials Of the brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees and
Shop Laborers did not sign the letter
accepting Mr.. Wilson's proposal, but
their proposed strike was called off.
President Wilson and the brotherhood
delegates here had telegraphed A. E.
Barker. president of the Maintenance
workers, urging that the strike be
called off, and Mr.. Barker complied.
Assurance was given the union Of
hclals by the president in the pro-
posal that he would provide machin-
cry for dealing COMPREHENSIVE with
their claims. He proposed the nam
ing of a commission of wage experts
to begin the compilation of data bear
ing on the controversy. The presi-
dent said he was certain it is appar-
ent to all reasonable men and women
that these momentous questions nus
be dealt with by an agency which can
continue to function after March L.

ON To OWNERS
Raise Of Railroad Employees Pay
Still Unsettled.
Negotiations So Far As Government
Is Concerned Practically Ended
Following Conference.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the
union railroad employees for an in
crease in pay have been practically
suspended until the rail properties
again are in the hands of their owners.
There remained as a finale only the
presentation to President Wilson the
union reply to his statement given
them, and this likely will be sent to
the White House at once.
Union officials conferred for six
hours on the Presidents statement, but
they steadfastly refused to divulge its
contents, on which White House Of
f1cials likewise maintained absolute
silence. Nor would the union chiefs
egive any information as to their reply.
Director Hines conferred briefly
with W. G. Lee, president of the Broth
erhood Of Railroad Trainmen, and a
committee from his organization. This
conference, so far as the Railroad ad-
ministration is concerned, was said to
conclude the series Of meetings on the
wage question.
Mr.. Hines also sent a letter to the
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
employees restating his attitude toward
that groups strike. He did not make
public the nature of his communica-
ton, but it raj limited he had informed
the maintenance workers they could
expect nothing further in the way of
wage increases from the Railroad ad-
ministration. Members of the commit
tee which has been renresentinp tho
maintenance employees, however, de-
MED this, but declared there had been
no decision to call off the strike.

Compromise Reservations Differ
Slightly From Bipartisan
Agreement.
EIGHT NOTIFICATIONS
Preamble Provides That Acceptance
BY Other Powers viii Not Be
Required - Questions Arc
Ready for Debate.

Washington.-The Peace treaty re.
servations as revised tentatively in re.
cent unofficial bipartisan compromise
conferences were formally presented
in the Senate by Senator Lodge for
consideration when the treaty comes
up In a few days.
The notifications do not agree en-.
tirely with the draft which Democratic
members Of the bipartisan committee
have said were tentatively agreed on.
Eight of the IA reservations would
be modified under Senator Lodges
proposal, and the preamble would be
changed so that affirmative acceptance
by the other powers would not be re.
quired. Four of the remaining six res
ervations were accepted by the Demo
cratic conferees without change, the
Republicans on the committee say.
Slight changes were made in Article
10.
The four on which it was said no
agreement was reached, but In which
changes are proposed in the draft SUBJ
mitted relate to withdrawal, voting

league and the economic boycott.
The withdrawal reservation Senator
Lodge proposed to modify so that no.
tice of withdrawal from league men,
bership may be given by the Presi-
dent OF by Congress alone whenever a
majority of both houses may deem it
necessary" In the original draft
there was no mention Of the President.
Under the Republican leaders,
change, the United States would refuse
to be bound by any decision of the
league in which Great Britain cast
more than one vote, until such time as
the covenant may be amended to give
an equality of voting strength among
the members.
Regarding league expenses, it is pro-
posed in the new draft that this coun-
try can bear without congressional ap-
preparation only it's share in maintain
ing the "office force" of the secre-
tariat.
From the boycott reservation 1t is
proposed to strike out the original pro-
vision that commercial relations may
be continued with nationals of the COW
enant-breaking state who reside out
side OF their W country.

development of of the archi-
pelago as that which is offered the
visitor at the carnival city.
In the evenings the carnival becomes
the center Of Philippine and oriental
social activity. A huge open air audi
torium serves for the elaborate nightly
balls, and on its mammoth floor thou
sands Of couples swing together to the
strains Of music furnished by the IA
nous Constabulary and other military
bands. Probably at no other place in
the world will one see an equally i'm
pressiye cosmopolitan spectacle.

self fortunate.

RAIL CASE UP TO PRESIDENT
Hines Passes Wage Question To Viii
son After DISAGREEMENT.

Misunderstanding to reach an
agreement with the representatives Of
the more than 10000 railroad m
ployes on demands for increased
wages, Director General Hines decid-
ed to submit the whole last to Presi-
dent Wilson for decision.
The appeal to the President is to be
taken at the request Of the union lead
ers after they were informed by Mr..
Hines that there was no hope of an
agreement under. present conditions.
Mr.. Hines has sent to the White
House the statements of the unions to-
gether with his own representations in
the controversy. The President thus
is called on to determine whether the
government will grant the increased
wages or transfer the wage demand
controversy to the corporations soon
to regain control Of their properties.

This is the season OF the year when
the Philippines become the playground
for the entire orient. 1t is carnival
season in Manila.
In 1908 the first Philippine carnival
was held on historic Wallace Field in
Manila in February, when the climate
Of the islands is at its best, and each
succeeding year there has been a larg,
er and more elaborate celebration.
The 1920, or Victory Carnival, will be
the greatest event of its sort ever held
anywhere In the Far East.
There are commercial and govern.
