CIRCULATION 1901, average 1905, average Dec. 22, 1917 MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Pres: - entitled to the ! publi hereir FEDERAL CONTROL OF RAIL- ROADS. N That the time must come when the government must give greater atten- tion to the needs of the railroads in order to improve the transportation facilities of the country has been ap- parent for some time. 'The great question was how it was to be dons, tut that has new been determined by the action of President Wilson in tak- ing over the railroads of the country and placing them under government control for the peried of the war from today at noon. By this action the transportation systems of the country are going to be unified. They will be under the direction of Secretary McAdoo, who has been made director seneral of railroads and while he will doubtless retain the services of the railroad war board as well as many other experts in railrond operation and the differ- ent roads will continue to be under the direction of their present operat- ing forces, he has the authority to de- cide matters of priority and to settle any questions as to routes and use of facilities and terminals wheyk the dif- ferent roads would be unable to agre He also has the authority to go ov the head of the interstate commerce commission in matters pertaining. to rates and he will have the authority to furnish the required equipment, the sovernment guaranteeing all the time that the security of the stodkholders and bondholders will not be endan- gered. This change will make it pos- sible for the government to advance such funds as may be needed fér bet- tering transportation requirements and on the wholo should result in the improvement which is so greatly needed. FUEL AND TRANSPORTATION. When Fuel Administrator Garfield tells the senate committee Tvestigat- ing the’coal dituation that he has been greatly handicapped by the lack of transportation facilities it can be readily believed. Such has caused embarrassment in many directions but the placing of the railroad systems of the country under government control ought to do much towards relieving that condition. It is perfectly plain, as he says, tHat the more coal that was produced and the more that was distributed the greater was the di culties presented to the transporta- tion lines. It has been evident for some time that the roads were facing a problem which they were unable to meet, -not because they were unwill- ing, but because it was impossible un- der the divided control and the lack of facilities imposed by the war con- ditions, Mr. Garfleld also expressed the ppin- fon that if the war lasts for a long i This j{and the refined product in this coun- casional sally by the German fast cruisers and destroyers, but the first| experience should have been sufficient to warn the admiralty to guard against others. Yet that is appar- ently what it failed to do when it con- tinued to send out merchant fleets pro- tected by only two destroyers as if the only danger that was expected was that from submarines. Germany took advantage of this not oncé but on two other occasions, resulting in the loss of warships and merchantmen which called forth much criticism each time. It was evident that while nec offensive policy was.being carried out by the navy that a poor defensive was also being maintained and the change coming as it does indicates that a new policy is to be insisted upon. The statement that Jellicoe may be em- ployed in some other service doesn't indicate however that he has been permanently shelved. MR. HOOVER ON SUGAR. Mr. Hoover sets forth the sugar sit- uation in a clear statement. He as- serts that we can continuc to expect that there will be a shortage of this commodity, aithough: the price should drop and by conservation there should Le enough to serve all necessary pur- poses and then we would be setting more per capita than are the people of England and France. The sugar shortage is due not to a lack of sugar but to the fact that there has been a decided change in mar- kets. The allies which formerly se- cared a large part of their supply from (GGermany’s beet sugar plants are now looking to this side of the Atlantle. means a reduction of the raw try. It is one of the conditions of the war and it is aggravated by the fact that thera is not sufficieht shipping fa- cilities to overcome the situation. . It is entirely possible for the allies to obtain their sugar from Java, but that means a long haul and the utili- zation of many ships which are needea to carry war supplies and troops from this country to BEurdpe. It is therc- fore of the greatest importarce that we should undertake to supply the sugar neaeds of our allies even if we are obliged to curtail on our con- sumption, in order to do so, until there is a decided improvement in the oceanic transportation facilities. To force our allies to zo tp the far east for sugar would simply.mean the plac- ing of an obstacle in the way of our cwn prosecution of the war. CHILI'S POSITION. Just at this time comes an inter- esting statement from President San- tuentes of Chili to the effect that therc is no foundation for the statement of Count Luxburg to the effect that Chili was to be drawn into an ailiance with Argentina and Bolivia for the purpose of forming a South American politi- ca] block opposed to the war policy of the United States. It can hardly be gathered from this that President Sanfuentes is attempt- g to whitewash the recent messages which were made public showing the kind of activity in which Luxburg haa been engaged, or that he is endeavor- ing to support the former German rep- resentative at Buenos Alres. When he speaks he does. so that the good name of Chili may not be slandercd and permitted to go unrefuted. His dGenial is to the effect that Chili has not favored and does mot contemplate any such alliance. He says In faét that it will not enter any such ar- rangement. This does not, however, refute the fact that Coumt Luxburg was anxious to form such an alliance and that he was putting forth his best efforts te such an end as the messages show. Count Luxburg was planning to do all the harm that he could regardless of those involved. His scheme was plain enough even though ie appears to have been too confident of his abil- ity to bring it abont and the state- ment of the president of Chili goes far towards showing that there was far less chance for success than Lux- burg thought there was. The revela. tions have unquestionably opened the éyes of some of the Soutn American countries as to what tools Luxbdurg had planned to make of them. EDITORIAL NOTE:! Russia is In dire need at the present time of some vaccine which will stamp out the bolshevik piague. Those who have been longing for an old fashioried winter are now complaining because of the cold. Cemee e The weatherman is certainly doing his part to relieve the icemen of their usual worry at this tine of the year. ‘When Troteky gives thé allies two months in which to join in a general peace he is taking himself too seri- ously. \ / The need of jewelry in Cuba is be- ing reported. That island must be anxious to get rid of the money it h been making on sugar. ‘The man on the corner says: Even if there isn't anything new under the sun, there are enough old and excit- time that it will be recessary for the|ing things to keep the world inter- government to take over the coa! sup- ply and parcel it out equitably. Ho the different sections of the country are handicapped for lack of coal is weil known, but the inability to met fuel distributed is also seriously han- @icapping water transportation and this is no. better shown than by the fact taat there are more than a hun- dred vessels tled up in New Yori har- bor because of their, inability to get coal. We are crving for ships but unless we can get the fuel to operate them they will be of little assistance in sending supplies and_troops to Eu- rope. The fuel situation is certainly Such that it not be straightened out-any too soon, and, if the railroad control does not furnish the neces- sary relief other steps will have to be taken. | NEW BRITISH SEA LORD. The replacing of Sir John Jellicoe as the first British sea lcrd by Sir Rosslyn Wemyss comes with less sur- prise just new than it might have some months aso. There has been much said against the inactivity of the British fleet, regardiess of the fact that for the most part it has kept the German na%y® bottled up, and there has been no little criticisin regarding the battle of Jutiand but the climax appears to have beem reached by the failure of the British navy.to prevent the repeatéd raids which have heen mmde upon the convoyed merchant vessels in the North sea. 7 It is of course to be realized that] the enemy will take advantage of ev- efy Opportumity and that it may be nexteto impossible to prevent s ested. ———— The reports which are coming from Halifax based upon the known facti regarding its losses indicate that it is going to have use for all the ralief ihl: has been and will be forwarded to it There is nothing surprising about the talking whidh is being heard ai- ready about changing Petrograd back to Si. Petersburg. Lenine and Trotzky have their way Russia will become Germany’s annex. Now reports give the impression that there has not been as'large a movement of German troops to the west front as believed. It is neéver wise, however, to fail to take all pos- sible precautions. Too strong a de- fense is preferable to too little. All that is necessary to knoek the talk about governmeént ownership of the rallroads into a cocked hat Is to digect attention to the manner in which the posteflice department is be- ing operated. 3 When Berlin hears of, that 70 year old man dropping dead in Albany from wast of food, it will probably inform the people of that country that Ger- many is causing the Americans to starve to deatd. , 3 Those 150 pro-German trouble mak- ers who have been arrested im msouth. ern Iilineis coal flelds should be put to'woflk with pick made to produce that wh irying to keep others from NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY.

He had noticed that the French were a wee bit sfow in joinig the colors. He advised them not to let their religion interfere with liberty, because if they did they would be always fighting. The Frenchmen of Quebec were not asked to fight for France, but for themselves. He saw a “wee bit hill near Vimy Ridge where 10,000 Frenchmen died. Quebec was a big country, but how many of her people had so died? The Freach of Quebec mizht think the Frenchman of the old country was an infidel. If he was he was the best man the world ever knew, and they wera all following him because of his great qualitieS. Any man who would not rise today and go to the front was not natural. He must be a dreamer or a schemer. Dreams and schemes would not save them.—london Times. Describing the: retusn to a home port of the British light forces after the “scrap” in the Heligoland Bight, a special correspondent of Reuter's writes: “Suddenly the curtain of mist and spray was broken by the form of a big zray ship looming up. More followed, dnd then more—destroyers, battle craisers, stealing along quite silently on the waters. And then from the bellies of the ships at anchor, which were taking in coal. men poured, and instantly the gray scene was alive with blackened men i grey ships, cheering. But there was absolute silence from the fighting victorious force. 3 “The sight of the burnt paint and the marks of shellfire, and the muzzles of the uncovered guns, vellow and brown and burnt sienna, told of the fight: the onCe experienced, unforget- table smell of séorched paint and pow- der was carried along on the wind; a mast heeling over a little, the slight drag in the water, the suggestion of a limp.

The pamphlet advocating plurality of wives, which is exciting Germany, is not the foumt and erigin of the shameless scheme. The idea reached Germany from Constantinople. Major neral Endres of the Bavarian army, chief of the German military mission attached to the Turkish headquarters, seems to have been responsible. e surveyed the harem system of the Turk, and. lo, it was very good.

The Barliner Tageblatt eives prom- inence to a passage in Herr Dern- burg’s ‘spee¢h at Karlsruhe which seems to have been carefully cut out of most of the reports. Ii is a re- markable statement of Germany's fi- nancial position. Herr Dernburg said that, as Herr Helfferich has been semi-officially de- scribed as a candidate for further of- fice, it is necessary to be ciear about 2&- past achievements. He proceed- The financing of the war has really nct been effective. We have voted between 25,000,090 pounds and 37,500,- 000 pbunds of new taxes, but at the same time we have Jost customs du- ties to the amount of at least 12,50l 000 pounds. We are able to balan the budget only by leaving the whole of our military expenditure out of the ordinary estimates and entering it _as extraordinary war expenditure. We have new debt to “the amount of 000,000,000 pounds, and for the ser- vice of this debt we need from 32359,- 600,000 (o 400,000,000 pounds. But in this diréction practically nothing has been done. The resuit is that the credit of the German empire has been terribly reducea abroad. Herr Dernburg remarked tbat the improvement in the German exchange at Stockholm® after the victories in Italy is an absoiute proof that the general deterioration in the German exchange has been due to the fall German credit. He remarked thal people in neutral countries are able to buy German war loan at one-half of its face.value, and so, if Gérman credit were sound, to make a profit of 100 per cent., but that they do_not do =0. He complained of the effect of the fréqueiit Pan-Gotman announce- ments that. if Germany does not get a war indemnity, she Is bankrupt.— London Times. At a conference of the Irish potato merchants at Belfast vesterday, it was decided to ask the food controller to amend the potato order to permit ex- [vort trade. Mr. Barrie, M.

If the statement be true that the Qermans have mounted big guns for the defence of Jerusalem, including one of 16 1-2 in. calibre, on the site ¢f Calvary, it may be necessary for General Allenby to besiege the Holy: City.
