GERMAN PRESS
 PLAYS HERRIOT
Postponement Of Evacua- tion Brings Bitter Ed
 itOrial Comment
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Dec. 2S.--The decision or the council of ambassadors to postpone indefinitely the evacuation of the Cologne bridgehead unloosed stream of bitter editorial comment in the Der lin newspapers.
 The most severe criticism of the al- legged surrender of M. Herriot, the French premier, to external influences oddly enough appears in the German liberal organs, which, since the London conference, had been inclined to view the French prime minister as the har- binger of a new era in Franco German relations.
 "Mr. Herriot, using Marshal Foch's sabre, is not very inspiring sight" remarks Theodore Wolff in caustic ed itorial in the Tageblatt, in which he re- fers to flame Herriot" in connection with the premier's recent indisposition. Wolff charges M. Herriot with having handed the German nationalists . "bracink tonic."
 The French premier failed to remain true to himself and permitted the moral ground on which he was standing to slip away, the democratic Boersen Courier says.
 vorwaerts, the radical organ, asks whether it will be a historic function of the year 1925 to undo all that has been accomplished in the nature of pacific reconstruction during 1924.
 The problem, in the opinion of Georg Bernhard of the Vossische Zeitung. has an immediate bearing on the unham- pered functioing of the Dawes plan, which he says presupposes complete economic independence for Germany.
 Neither Germania, the clerical party's organ, which is close to Chancellor Marx, nor Die Zeit, which reflects Foreign Minister Stresemann's views commented today on the action of the council of ambassadors. This is taken as an indication that the government will await formal notification of the decision from Paris before undertaking a formal expression,

(COntinued From EdSo OhO'' conflict the leagues function has Deeh discharged when it has brought them together and put them on the roau to ereenent, and that fuction was GUS cessfuly accepted in the Corfu case 76 Conferences Held
 The speaker listed the actlvltles or Ibe league, calling attention to the 1act that in first eight months of l9@4 76 international conferences had met in Geneva. He praised especially tne leagues action in taking up health questions and in warning against epi- ddemics and the drug evil. It must yet attack the traffic in women and chli- dren and the publication ot obscene literature, he said.
 He asserted that although the Dawes ulan was devised entirely without the sphere of the league, it was founded On priciples similar to those advocated by the league. "To my mind he said, "what Ihope will be the great suL cess of the Dawes scheme is just as much result of the new internatlonl con ception for which Woodrow Wilson stood as anything that has been done by the league itself.
 Praises Permanent Court
 The treaties signed by various cen tral European nations to remove dls- crimination against racial and linguistic minorities within their borders, he said, formed one of the greatest achievements of the league. He also praised the work of the international labor office and the permanent court of international | justice.
 Disarmament, Viscount Cecil said, was one of the outstanding problems yet to be solved.
 Certainly it is a paradox of a startling character" he asserted, that we should recognize that dealing with such things as cocaine and opium is so dangerous to humanity that it ought to be the subject of international con trol, but we have made very little effort so far to supervise even in the most elementary way the international trade in instruments expressly designed to slaughter and mutilate our fellow men,"
 Further Work Needed
 Visconnt Cecil praised the work of the Washington conference, but said there remained to be dealt with the rest of the naval problem, cruisers anG
 
 and air forces of the world" Compul sorry arbitration of all international dis putes, he said, was an integral part oi any worldwide disarmament plan.
 Viscount Cecil was presented with the award and medal by Norman H Davis, who presided at the dinner.
 'To Woodrow Wilson must be giver the chief credit for this organized sys tenn of international cooperation, MT Davis said, "and to Lord Cecil tha of collaborating effectively with him il its creation and of developing it ant making it work. Lord Cecil stands ou as one of the few who has worked il all the fields of international life fol higher standards of ethics and bet ter understanding between nations"
 Sr Davis hailed the guest of homo as "Woodrow Wilson's spiritual sue cessor" when he presented him witt the medal which had been designed b! Ivan Mestrovic. a Jugo-Slav scuptor.

 Dr. William D. McNally, coroner's chemist. worked throughout the day Tn examining vital organs of the million aire orphans" body.

M., to tell Assistant States Attorneys German and Savage what he knew of circumstances attending the death of young McClIn' tock. Today he declared that 'so far as am concerned the states attorney case against me is dead.'

s6Oo,OOo,O)O SAVED
 IN FREIGHT CUTS, CARRIERS CLAIM
Roads Fail To Realize 1924 Return COntempla-
 ted, Says Report
(By Associated PreSs)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-Unprece- dented efficiency and economy charac- terized the operation of the country s railroads during 1924 with a consequent vast saving to the shipping public, the American Railway association declared tonight in an annual summary of its activities.
 Based on incomplete reports, the as sociation said "a conservative estimate of the total amount of saving due to the efficient handling of the roads, has amounted to hundreds of millions. Compared to 1921, it was declared, the public saved S600,0O0,000 this year in reduced freight rates alone.
 "As in the case of 1925" the state ment added, "the railroads during the past year failed to realize the moderate return contemplated under the existing level of transportation charges
 Earnings Are Less
 In 1924 the net operating income of class one carriers, as shown by com plete reports for the first ten months and incomplete returns for the remain ing two months, was $970,OOO,O 900, or 4.3O per cent of their property invest ment, the summary said, while in I9Z5 the class one carriers earned S9I1,6oI,- GOO, or 4.47 per cent.
 An increase of about S5,4S6,O00 over the preceding year in cash dlyldends paid on railroad stock was noted ln 1924, the total being $3O3,O00,00O.
 Federal and state taxes aggregating nearly $1,000,000 day were paid by class one roads during the year, the total reaching !f35O,000,O00 As con- pared with taxes paid in 1923 this was an increase of about $13,61S,O00.
 The bulk of saving from economic op' eration was attributed by the assOcia' tion to improved methods of operation due to large expenditures for equip ment and other improvements, together with intelligent cooperation ot federal and state regulatory bodies, shippers railway employees and managements Lower expenditures for materials anc the moderation of wages contributed tc the same end.
 Shippers Cooperate
 A beneficial factor to both shipeprs and operators. the association said, wal the active cooperation on the part ol shippers through their regional advisory boards. During the year, three new boards were organized in addition to tnt seven previously established. Three more. which will complte a system vlr tually covering the entire shipping terri tory, probably will be organized soon.
 American railroads, the statemen said, are the most economically operated in the world.
 Twenty-Five years ago the number oi tons of freight originating on class on' roads was half billion, while the in yestment of those TO, ds totaled $1O,O0O, 100000, making the ratio of investment S2O per ton of freight originating Meanwhile, the statement sad, rall roads have invested an additional SlZ' GOO. .OOO, ,OOO, all at rising prices, yet 1T 1924 the investment account of the rali roads of the country was only $17.7t ger ion of freight originating"
