President \Vilson addressed Oon gress in joint session Monday, re plying to recent speeches of German chancellor Hording and Austrian Foreign minister Czernin. Said the President, the former's statements were vague and confusing and* led to no conclusion, while th «o of the latter were very different anl had a friendly tone. In arriving at a peace the principles to bo applied St*: \ 1. Each part of the final settle ment must be based upon essential I justice to bring a permanent peace. 2. Peoples and provinces are not to be bartered about like chat tels to establish a balance of |>owera. 3. Well defined national aspira tions must be accorded all possible satisfaction. "A general peace upon such foun dations can bo discussed," said the President. "Until such a peave can ; be aeeurod we havo no choice but to go on." The views set out by the the Presi dent seem to hsve fully met the ap proval of the Congress. The address waa telegraphed to all civilized countries and the views so far as heard from —Germany except ed—have met with approval and en dorsement. " FOOD ADMINISTRATION RUL INGS.

WHiT MAY fUffilM DEFICIT i IF RAILWAY INCOME CONTINUES ' THE DECLINE OF RECENT MONTHS 11917 FIOODES ME COMPILED Earnings About Near Amount the Government Will Pay Roads in IBM—Will Cut Expenses Considerable. " Washington.—Railroads In 1(17 earned about $9(1,000,000, which Is near the amount tho government will hare to pay the roads this year as compensation under national opera tion. This was Indicated by flguros on revenue, expenses and Income of all roads earning more than $1,000,000 last year, available today In unofficial computations based on Interstate com merce commission reports (or 11 months and estimate (or December. ' The eum the government will have to pay the roads under the bill pend ing In Congress is estimated at 1945.- 000,000 by Chairman Smith, ot the senate committee having the railroad bill in charge. i Figures (or 1917 show that l( rail way Income contlnuSf to decline as It has in recent months tJie govern ment will (ace a deficit In making Its compensation augmented by Increases In wages and the con stantly rlsiag cost o( materials and aupplles. To Cut Operating Expanaea. On the other hand, the railroad administration hopes to be able to cut operating expenses sufficiency and economise on charges necessary only under competitive conditions, te offset the declining Income. The slse of these Items, which will play such a big part In railroad financing this year, were disclosed by the latest com putations. Compared with the estlmsted In come of $968,000,000 last year, the figure for 1916 was $1,087,(33,000; for 1915, $716,476,000; for 1914, $692,330- 00«, and for 1913, $116,510,000. Tetal Revenues. Last year the total revenues frons railway operations were $4,033,009,000, and' operating expenses were $1(61. 000,000, leaving a net revenue of $1,177,000,000. From this wsre de ducted $217,000,000 taxes, and minor Items of uncolloctable revenue to com pute the net lnoeme figure, which Ik compared in a general way to the ba sis of government compensation. These figures will be Increased about four per cent by addition of reports from numerous small road- having operating revenues of less than. sl.- 000,000 a year, whose records are not Included with the reports of stand ard Class 1 rosds. BLAMES DISASTER ON BAKER "INQUISITION" Nerth Carolina Governor Wires This Opinion to the New York World. Raleigh.—Governor Blckett sent a telegram to Tha New York World charging that the present senatorial Inquisition Into the affairs of tha war department Is directly responsible for the torpedoing of the United States troop transport reported In the morn ing papers. The telegram read: "You are In tha habit of drafting my opinion on public questions. For once I am going to volunteer one. In my opinion the senatorial Inquisition of the war department Is directly re sponsible for the sinking of the TUB scanla. They put Baker on the rack and tortured out him a confession of the gigantic movement of our troops acroes the seas. Then the enemy knew what was happening and the sub marines lurked for their prey. This whole Inquisition Is botomed on the Inordinate vanity of a few senaotra, who seek to pose ss the saviors of the nation.

AMERICAN SHARPSHOOTERS ARE GERMANS' MATCH Dr. Von Ssydlsr, Austrian Premlsr, Hss Resigned. American sharpshooters on the sec tor held by the United States forces northwest of Toul on ths western front havs matched their marksman shlp and wits against the skill anil experience of the German rifleman op posed to them, and thus far have had the advantage. Enemy snipers have been routed from tbelr hiding places among,bushes In the hilly, wooded terrain or In shell holes by the'expert Are of the Americans, and where the rifle proved unavailing there was brought Into action machine guns and light artillery which destroyed the Oermsn shelters and made casusltles of their occupants. Dr. von Seydler, the Austrian pre mlsr, has tendered the resignation of his cabinet to Emperor Charles, ac cording to Vienna advices reaching Amsterdam. Parliamentary circles In ths Austrian capital undsrstand that the cabinet's resignation Is due to the opposition of Polish deputies against special debates and the provisional bndget. Dr. von Seydler Informed la bor delegations that It was the wish ef ths emperor to end the war at the earliest possible moment by an honor able peace, and this declaration of the premier was Instrumental In ending the strikes In Vlenns. The Turkish foreign minister, Net si my Bey, speaking In the Ottoman chamber of deputies Thursday, as serted that Turkey waa In full accord with the attitude of Germany and Austria aa outlined In the recent speeches of the Oerman chancellor. Count von Hertllng, and the Aastrlaa foreign mlnlstsr Count Csernln. In regard to the Dardanelles, Nesslmy Bey declared that tha strait would remain open In the future to Inter national traffic "aa lq the past and on ths same conditions." This dsc la ra ti on Is regarded as Turkey's reply to the provision In President Wilson's announcsment of Amerlcs's war alms which required that the Dardanelles should be opened permanently aa a free passage to the ships of all na tions. Seven Billions of Iniurance. More than $1,000,000,000 in government witr insurance was taken by soldiers and sailors in the last four days of last week.

Ap plications from 835,011 persons in the army or navy service have actually been received by the bureau of war risk insurance and there is every indication that the goal of one million men insured will be attained by February 18. The four days were the greatest in the history of the bureau of war risk Insurance aud broke all records for insurance.

Y. adv. > i AMERICAN RED CROSS TO ENROLL 24,000,000 SCHOOL CHILDREN IN JUNIOR AUXILIARIES To the School Children of the United States: A Proclamation The President of the United States is also President of the American Red Cross. It is from these offices joined in one that I write you a word of greeting at this time when so many of you are beginning the school year. The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior Membership with School Activities in whifch every pupil in the United States can find a chance to sferve our country. The school is the natural center of your life. Through it you can best work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged ourselves. Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities of service to your community and to other communities all over the world and guide your service with high and religious ideals. It will teach you how to save in order that suffer ing children elsewhere may have the chance to live. It will teach you how to prepare some of the supplies which wound ed soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to you through the Red Cross Bulletins the thrilling stories of re lief and rescue. And best of all, more perfectly than through any of your other school lessons, you will learn by doing those kind things under your teacher's direction to be the future good citizens of this great country which we all love. And I commend to all school teachers in the country the simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked out to provide for your co-operation, knowing as I do that school children will give their best service under the direct guidance and instruction of their teachers. Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs? (Signed) WOODROW WILSON, President September 15, 1917. Of the Junior Membership of the Red Cross, Mr. Henry P. Davison, Chairman of the War Council of the American Red Cross, said: "I believe a program has been made out here which'is the most important single movement that was ever started in America for the protection of the American public and the future of the people. "When I was talking with the President about the pro gram I then said that I believed that nothing in the Red Cross was as important as the Junior Membership work, and that alone from the standpoint of our own people." l Under the slogan "EJrerjr School & 'Red Cross Auxiliary and Center for National Bervlce," the Junior Bed Cross has perfected plans for the en -1 rollment of every school child in the ! United States as a member of a Red | Cross Auxiliary, the date of the cam paign being from Lincoln's birthday, February 12, to Washington's birth iday, Februw 22. The Jhlßed Cross Is a branch of the American Red Cross through | which every school In America Is glv . en the opportunity to carry on author lied Red Cross work by forming a School Auxiliary, upon the payment ' of twenty-Are cents membership fee for each pupil enrolled In the school i or by a pledge of satisfactory service ,!n Red Cross work. It 1b the only agency which Is approved by school authorities to enlist the children in patriotic work during the war. All other organizations must work through the medium of the Junior Red Cross, whose services have already been re quested by the United States Food Administration and by the War Sav ings Stamp Committee, of which Frank A. Vanderllp Is chairman. N The schools, however, are not the only units In which School Auxtllariea ■ may be formed. The other educational units which have been recognized as suitable centers In which to organize j Junior Red Croas work are Agricul tural Clubs, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire ■Girls, Night Schools, Sunday School classes and such authorized educa tional centera as may be properly or > ganlzed under the supervision of the i local representatives of the Red Cross I Chapter." | The United States Department of Agriculture has already offered to use the Agricultural Clubs for Junior Red Cross work. Every child who Is en rolled In a School Auxiliary is entitled to wear a Red Cross pin, although not considered a regular member of fte Red Cross. Confsrence at Waahington.

'K'.-" *v '■.-*!&- ,v'; vv'-U "» .> RUSSIAN ARMIES ARE DEMOBILIZED PEACE EFFECTED BY RUSSIANS AND UKRAINE WITH FORMER ENEMY. RUMANIAN SITUATION CRITICAL Formal Treaty Has Not Yet Been Sign ed But Agreed Upon—Contain* Provlalon For Getting Food. Although no formal treaty yaa yet been signed between the Russians and the central powers the bolnhevlkl gov ernment hag ordered a cessation of hostilities by the Russians against Germany, Austria-Hungary, > Turkey and Bulgaria and the withdrawal of its troops from 'the trenches and for tified positions from the Baltic aea to the Rumanian frontier. It long had been foreseen that such an outcome eventually would follow upon the revo lutionary movement In Russia, where for nearly a year civil strife and war weariness generally proved most po tent factors in weakening the battle front. Long ago the enemy forces be gan the i withdrawal of troops from this front, and virtually only a hand ful of them have been faced by Rus sians there. Peace having been effected both" by the Russians and Ukrainians with the Teutonic allies, the situation of Ru mania becomes a most critical one. Entirely cut off now from her allies, the Rumanians apparently are faced with the absolute necessity of effect ing a separate peace or being overrun toy superior enemy armies. Nothing has as yet come through to show whether another Rumanian cabinet-to take the place of the one which resign ed last week has been formed or whether any reply has been made to the ultimatum of the central powers that peace negotiations should immedi ately be started. As has been anticipated, the terms of peace between the Ukraine and the central powers contain the much deaired clause providing for the im mediate entering into economic rela tions between the contracting parties by which Austria and Germany may obtain much desired foodstuffs. NO PEACE UNTIL GERMANY IS RECOGNIZED VICTOR Amsterdam. —Germany desires peace | but before It can be attained her ene mies must recognize that Germany hew been victorious, Emperor William said in an address presented by the burgomaster of Hamburg on the con clusion df peace with the Ukraine.

Such an end was achieved in a friendly manner with an enemy 1 which, beaten by our armies, per- ' ceivea no reason for fighting longer extepds a hand to us and receives our hrfnas. We clasp hands. But he who will not accept peace but en the con trary declines, pouring out the blood 1 of his own an&jDf our own people must be forced to have peace.
