President Wilson Wednesday night issued his proclamation tak ing into the Government's posses ion (or operation aii the railroads - and ship transportation lines in the United States and dependencies. The order goes into effect at 12 o'clock M., Friday, December '2Bth. Secretary of the Treasury Mc-Adoo Is appointed Governor General in the proclamation. Inter-urban unu street car lines are excepted from the order. The authority for the step the President has taken is contained in an act of Congress passed in August, 1916. It does not appear that the offi cials or employees of any of the various transportation lines will -be disturbed, and it is believed that traffic can be handled more eco nomically and expeditiously than the roads have been doing, on ac count of certain laws governing in terstate traffic by which the roads are bound under their individual management. To take over and operate the transportation lines by the Gov ernment is an emergency war measure. They are to be guaran teed the average proflta for the three years preceding the 3(ith of June, 1917, ahd the Government l» to turn them back at the end of the war In a* good condition in every respect as when it assumed control. On tbo war fronts no great changes have taken place fur a week. On the French and Bel gian fronta the activities have been confined to heAvy cannonad ing. On the Italian front the Austro-Uerraau forces aud Italian forces fought Christmas day and positions were gained and lost Mbont equally.

GERMAN PEACE PROPOSALS Reortad That Tautonle Allies Would Offer for Paacs and Had Rsqueated Russia to Bound formsr Allies for Peace. In the midst ot the peace pourpar lars that are la progress between the representative of the Teutonic allies and the bolshevlkl government in Russia, the war alms of Great Brit ain—and doubtless of all her allies— have been concretely set forth In the house of commons by David Lloyd- George, the British prime minister. The complete restoration of terri tory now in the hands of the enemy and compensation for the havoc they have wrought Is the price that will bo damended for the laying down of arms and the bringing about of peace. Great Britain did not seek territo rial aggrandizement for herself or for any of her allies when she entered the war, Mr. Lloyd George said but entered Into the hositllltles nierely for the sake of her honor. As to Ger many's colonies, all of which are now In the hands of the entente, Mr. Lloyd George said, their disposition must b« determined at the peace congress, Jerusalem, however, the premier de clared, would never be restored to tho Turks. The statement of the prime minis ter came almost simultaneously with a report that the Teutonic allies In tended to make peace proposals to the entent and that Russia had been requotted to take similar steps and was endeavoring to sound her fromer allies In arms as to their requirements for a cessation of hostilities. PASSENGER TRAINS CRASH; 3S KILLED; MANY INJURED Sheperdsvllle, Ky. Thirty-eight known dead and 40 to 60 persons in jured, some of them seriously, was the toll taken when Louisville A Nash ville passenger train No. 7, from Cin cinnati to New Orleans, crashed into the rear of a Bardstown, Louisville A fiprlngfleld accommodation train 500 yards south of the station here. The accommodation train had just left the station after making a stop, whan the faster train which makes no stop hero cams In sight moving at a high rate of speed. Efforts to bring it to a halt were futile and tho heavy locomotive with the heavy weight of a steel train behind it crashed Into the rear of tho accommodation with a terrific impact. The two wooden passenger cars and baggage cars mak ing up the smaller train were splin tered. Virtually every person aboard the accommodation train, both crew and passengers were either killed or bad ly Injured. None of tho passengers aboard the fast train were killed, thoug ha number were injured. Th« locomotive was demolished and the heavy steel coaches making up the train were thrown from the track. Non of the passengers aboard the fast train were killed and none of them received more than minor Inju ries. Another locomotive and train crew was sent from Louisville and after detaching one baggage car the New Orleans train wont on as soon u the right of way was declared. Jesse Weatherford, telegraph opera tor at the station here, said that after the accommodation train left the sta tion he had thrown his block to show the track clear and loft the office to help handle baggage. When he got outside, he said, he saw the fast train approaching, ran back to the office, pulled his block to show red. seised a lantorn and rushed to the platform to flag It.

And apparent ly the enemy has played a trump card at the outset, for on the proposal of I'rlnce Leopold of Bavaria, the German commander-in-chief on the Russian front. Dr. von Kuehimann, thes German foreign secretary and an axtute politician, has been chosen un animously as offical chairman. A noteworthy fact In the composi tion of the delegations from the va rious countries allied with the Austro- Gcrmans is that they Include men who have stood high In the cohnclls of their respective countries, while the men who are to handle Russia's In terests for the most part are unknown In world politics. Still another outstanding fact In the meager details of the formation of the conference that thus far have come through Is that Rumania is not credited with having sent delegates to Brest-Litovsk. The possibility Is, therefore, that Rumania has decided to hold aloof from discussing a sep arate peace, notwithstanding the fact that geographically she will be com pletely Isolated from her Allies should the negotiations result In Russia quit ting the war. AMENDMENTS TO FARM LOAN LAW ARE ADVOCATED. Board Wants Mortgage Banks Admitted. Washington.—The federal farm loan beard Announced that It advocates amendment to the farm loan act un der which many private farm mort gage bankers may phter the govern ment system as joint stock land banks. At the same time, the board also gave warning that It expects In terest* seeking to break down th* system to file a suit soon to test the constitutionality of the act. Amendments to the existing law which will bo specifically recommend ed to Congress in the board's forth coming annual report, are: To remove the present restriction permitting a Joint stock land bank to do business only In the stats where It Is situated and one contiguous Btate; To permit a bank to Issue bonds to the amount of twenty times Its capital stock, which must be $250,000 or more, Instead of fifteen times, as under ex isting law. and To raise from six to six and a half per cent the maximum interest rate which joint stock land banks may charge on loans to farmers. All these amendments have been sought by the Farm Mortgage Bank ers' association, whose leaders predict that a large proportion of the mem tiers would seek government charters and operate under supervision of the farm loan board If the modifications were made. Their plea to be allowed to use the name "National Land Bank" Instead of "Joint Stock Land Bank" has been received favorably by the board, owing to fear of confusing the private Institutions with the govern ment's twelve federal land banks. Joint stock land banks would stUl be compelled to limit Interest rates on loans to within one per cent more than the selling price of their bonds, even though the maximum were raised to six and a half per cent.

TERRIFIC ARTILLERY FIRE Situation In Russia Continues Ob scure. —Germane Said to Have Re jected Peace Terms of the Bolshe „ vlkl. The Italians on the northern line in Italy between t£e Brenta and Plave rivers have ceased, for the warfare against the attacks of the time being at least, their defensive Austro-Germans and assumed the offensive with signal successes on several sectors. Attacking the positions which the enemy earlier in (he week captured near Monte Asolone, General Dial's troops have regained a considerable portion of the terrain and held it, not withstanding the terrific artillery Are that was turned upon them. The German war office. In endeav oring to belittle the success of the offensive, which It asserts was re pulsed, shows that the effort of the Italians was a determined one, the troops to the west of Monte Asolone delivering seven attacks against the enemy front. Admission is made in the German communication that the Italians also have taken the Initiative in the Ighting on Monte Pertlca and Monte Sllarolo, but It is declared that their attacks on thsse sectors, as on Monte Asolone were without success. The situation in Russia continues obscure, although such reports as are coming through indicate that the bolshevfkl government Is losing ground In the face of the opposition that is being Imposed by the Ukrain ians and the- followers of General Kaledines. The bolshevlki commis sioners are declared to have declined to accept the negative reply of the Ukrainian Rada to the bolshevlki de mand that Ukraine cease aiding the Kaledines forces and give the rada an opportunity to reconsider Its ac tion. As Indicating that the rada has finally declined to give heed to the dictates of the bolshevlki Is a report that a .definite alliance has 'been formed between Kaledines followers and the Ukrainians. A dispatch from Petrograd says an unofficial report in circulation in the Russian capital Is to the effect that the Germans have rejected the peace terms put forward by the bolshevik! delegates. Recent dispatches have in dicated that the peace pourparlors la progress at Brest-Litovsk were mere ly preliminary to the peace confer ence which is to assemble there next Tuesday and which is to be attended by the German and Austro-Hunga rlan foreign minister*.

SAVE AND SUBSTITUTE SAYS HEBBEBT HOOVEB At Least One Meatless and Wheatless Meal Each Day is Requested in Statement From Mr. Hoover Vital Suggestions Given Food Instruction Card for Every Household in Entire State. Raleigh, Dec. V-The State Food Administration has just let contracts for the printing of 400,0*0 supplemen tary home Instruction cards to be dis tributed one for each household In the entire State. The issuance of these additional Instruction cards is prompt ed by the Increased seriousness of the food situation in Europe both from the standpoint of military necessity and for the relief of hundreds of thou sands of Europeans who are threaten ed with starvation unless immediate relief can be given them. The supplementary instruction card calls for a "porkless" day each week In addition to "Meatless" and "Wheat less" days, and for a wheatless and meatless meal each day. The con sumer is urged to use sugar on a basis of not more than three pounds per per son per month. Mr. Hoover, on one side of the card, frankly and impres sively presents the food situation as It Is. "As a nation we eat and waste 80 per cent more protein than we require tcAftialntaln health" the directions de clare. "Therefore, we can reduce the amount of meat we eat without harm. We eat and waste 240 per cent mora fat than is necessary." What Is Cslled for Now. Aside from the general directions contained In the first home Instruction card the new card asks everyone to maintain rigid economy of at least: ONE WHEATLESS day each week and one WHEATLESS MEAL each day, the wheatless day to be Wednes day. By wheatless we mean to eat no wheat products. ONE MEATLESS DAY each week, which shall be Tuesday and one meat less meal each day. By meatless we mean to eat no red meat—b4ef, pork, mutton, veal, lamb; no preserved meat —beet, bacon, ham or lard. ONE PORKLESS day each week In addition to Tuesday, which shall be Saturday. By porkless we mean no fresh or waited pork, bacon, lard or ham. SUGAR—You can materially reduce sugar by reducing the use of candy and sweot drink*. We will make ev ery endeavor to see that the country li provided with a supply of household sugar on the bails of three pounds of sugar for each person par month. Do not consume more. We Are a Wasteful Peeple. . Human foodstuffs comprise three principal elements: PROTEIN: Mainly present In meat, beans, fish, poultry, milk, and to soma extent In grains. FATS: That Is, butter, cream, lard, bacon, margarine, cooking fats, beans, cotton seed oil aad other vegetable oils. CARBOHYDRATES: Grain, sugar, potatoes and other vegetables. As a nation we eat and waste 80 per cent more protein thkn we require to maintain health. Therefore, we can reduce the amount of meat we eat without harm. We eat and waate 249 per cent more fat than Is necessary. ' Of the carbohydrates w* can Just as well consume corn, oats and other cereals aa wheat and wa have abrad ant supplies of potatoes and vsgeta bles. Do not limit yonr supplies of mdb and table butter, but consume It all. Don't waate any. You can reduce the consumption of fats by reducing pastry aad fried foods. Remember tha Gospel of the Clean Plate, the ssrvlng of small portions, the purchase of less supplies. What Hoarding Does. Any person In the United Statee who buys mare foodstuffs than he custom arily keppa at home in peace timee Is defeating the Food Administration in It* purpose to secure a Just distribu tion of food aad In It* great endeav or* to raduc* prices. The hoarding ol food In households la not only unnec eeeary. as tho govornmont. Is protect ing the food supply at our people, bo/ It la selflsj and la a cause of high prices. Such actions multiplied by thou sands Increase the demands upon our rallwaya for cars and already, bacauae of our military demands. It Is with ex treme difficulty we can now move the vitally necessary food to market. There Is much Insidious propaganda In the country against conservation and Increased production. All oppo sition to theae services is direct aa alstance to the enemy. The Situation Grave. The reverse side of tha card carriaa a message to those who have signed the pledge card ot tha Pood Adminis tration. It I* aa follow*: To Member* of the United States Food Administration: The food ltuaUaa in Europe U far, graver than whan the preliminary sur vey of the food supply ot the world for this year wsa made. We have aa abundance tor ooraelvaa, aad It i* the, firm policy ot the Food Adnata Is tm» Uoa, by the prevention ot exporta. tf, retain tor ear people aa atople nippit of every a**antlal faodatnffff. The ha*' . ! vests of ourTClDes have proved" lass than we had contemplated, and the greet curtailment of shipping by the submarines dorter the last few months has further prevented them from access to More remote markets. Beyond the demands of the Allies there is a call npon as By the friendly neutrals tor food supplies, and it we cannot at least in part respead to these neutral calla, starvation on an unparalleled scale most ensue. Greater Sacrifice Neeeaaary. food haa now taken a dominant po sition in the war, and we mast ask the American people to sacrifice far more than was at first thought neces sary. We have exported the whole of the surplus of the wheat from this harvest after reserving to ourselves an amount sufficient for our normal con sumption of seed and flour until the next harvest, and therefore the amount of wheat flour that the United States can contribute to mix with the war bread of our Allies during this winter will be simply the amount that our people reduce their consumption month by month. In other words, every grain of wheat or Its products that the Allies receive from the Uni ted States from now untU the next harvest will be exactly the amount which our people have saved each month on their behalf. . The Allies today ask for 25 per cent more meat and fats (pork, dairy prod ucts and vegetable oils) than we con sider our monthly production permits us to send them without trenching on our own supplies, or, on the other hand, unless we can consume less. Due to the shortage In shipping, our avail able sugar supplies must be less than normal from the present time forward. Every Particle Saved Will CountT~" Thus every particle of diminished consumption by the American people is one particle more for the soldiers, men, women and children of our Al lies and for the starving people in oth er oountrles. This is a personal obli gation upon every one of us toward some individual abroad who will suf fer privation to the extent of our own individual negligence. , If we are to reduce the consump tion of the few products which we should export abroad we will need to eat a larger proportion of many dif ferent foodstuffs which we cannot ex port and which we have at home. For this reason we MUST NOT waste ANY foodstuffs. A great many individuals in our population eat far more food than is necessary to maintain their health and strength. emergen vy only the slmplsst of living is patri otic. We want no person In the Uni ted, States to eat less than is required for good health and full strength, for in this emergency Amerioa requires every atom of the productive power of our people. While many can eat less, all of our population can substitute other foodstuffs for the few that are vitally needed for export. We must not overlook the fact that Russia collapsed not because of the Germans on her borders but largely because of the failure to organize and feed her own citizens, and, IP WE ARE TO emerge victorious from this war, we cannot risk the collapse of another of our Allies from this same cause. There is no waste of food among any of our Allies —there is the most drastic reduction in their con sumption; there Is actual privation among their women and children; there is starvation in Belgium. Problem for Individual. We have already Issued a series of suggestions in the Home Card—a card that is now hanging In over ten mil lions of homes. These suggestions have already shown Important results, and to these we now add others. The problem of saving in food Is a local and individual one, so that more pre cise and definite rules Just to all can not be formulated. It Is a matter for the conscientious consideration of every Individual that he or she ahould eat only that which is necessary to maintain bodily health and strength and unselfishly to seleot those food stuffs the use of which relieves inter national necessities. In this winter of 1918 lies the period when there will be tested in this great free country of ours the question as to whether or not our people are capable of voluntary Individual self-sacriflca to save the world. HERBERT HOOVER, United States Food Administration. a W ATCH" YOUR STEP I The record of accidents due to auto mobiles shows plainly the need of ped estraln regulation, says a writer in the New York Evening Post According to the report of the New York city police department for 1915, eighty-sev en per cent of all vehicular accident* in the streets of the city in which per sons were Injured or killed, and the causes of which were given, wen the fault of the injured. One-third of all those killed or Injured in New York city were under sixteen years of age. This would indicate clearly that any material reduction of afreet accidents must be brought about by educating both adults and children to observe proper caution, by reralatalng pedes train traffic, by providing adequate playgrounds for children and forbid ding playing aad skating in the street* and stealing rides. Every reasonable means having been taken to prevent the reckleee and care less driving of vehicles and operation of street cars, it remains to regulate the pedestrian to protect him against his own carelessness. If all the acci dents due to faults of drivers and oper ators of vehicles were eliminated it would reduce the total number of street accident* only one-tenth. Com parison of the record* of New York city with those of Germany for tha year 1916. as shown by a report of tha Association of Administrations of Oar awn Street and Interurban Lives, proves that eighty-six per cent were due to the-fanlt of tha lnjnrad.
