UNITED STATES HAS LEARNED A LESSON Business Men of Nation Are Asked to Sign Referendum. WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. American business men are asked In a referen dum submitted today by the Cham ber of Commerce of the United States to pass upon a proposed warning to German Industrial leaders that they cannot hope to resume friendly com mercial relations with the United States after the war unless the Ger man government has become a re sponsible instrument of the people. It Is proposed that the Germans be told that the United States, In com mon with other nations, supplied raw materials with which Germany made ready to start the world war and that the lesson has been learned. News papers and business men of neutral countries will be relied upon to carry the message. . The Revolution. The referendum, suggested by the Boston chamber of commerce and now laid before half a million business men through their commercial or ganizations, submits this resolution: "Whereas, the size of - Germany's present armament and her militaristic attitude have been due to the fact that her government Is a military au tocracy, not, responsible to the Ger man people; and .-.

Jan. 1J.- Railroad e ecutlvee - representing 177 - roads and ninety percent of the mileage In the United States, at 'a conference held here today to consider plans for safe guarding the' Interests they represent while under federal management, de cided to ask congress to limit govern ment control to the period of the war. The executives believe the bill now pending in congress is.ioo vague De- cause K does not set a definite date for tho government to relinquish the railroads. - They could see no reason it was said, why It .should not be ftvpit fnr tYi duration of the war as I has been the case with other Indus- menseiy vainsDie rauroaa properties of the country subject to the whims of any new congress ' that may be elected. For that reason, the execu tives maintained. It would unset-tie seriously all the affairs of the car rier. Limiting of control to the period of the war will be asked as a "safety first" measure,. - The conference was called by Frank Trumbull, chairman of the railway executives' advisory board.

Winter has settled down !n earnest over all the important war fronts, and beyond artillery actions, which are being carried out over very lim ited sections, there has been little fighting either in the west or In the east. Only patrol encounters are reported along the British lines, and artillery action at two points onthe French front. In Italy the terrific artillery and infantry fighting has given way to aerial warfare, which, however, though It Is spectacular, has little di rect bearing on the progress of the campaign when confined to combats between individuals or squadrons. Almost Snowbound. For nearly a month now the front In France and Belgium has been al most snowbound. Thus the long await ed German offensive, with the heavy reinforcements which Germany trans ferred from the Russian front to the west, has been delayed for weeks, if not, possibly, for months. The peace negotiations between the Bolshevikl and the representatives of the quadruple alliance at Brest-Lito-viek continue, but without definite re sults. Another delay In the assembling of the constituent assembly Is likely because of the issuance of it decree at Petrograd providing for new election to replace members of the constituent assembly who are deemed not to rep- ' ana Deasants. vooa supplies Assured. According to reports from the Russian- capital, northern Russia is to receive . ample- food supplies from -Ukraine, '-. through -the reconciliation of the Bolshevikl and the Ukranlans. Kvery effort has been -made in the last few'weeks by the Bolshevikl au thorities'? to prevent the threatened famine- lit Petrograd and other oltles of Russia where the Bolshevikl bold the power. It , Is also seml-offlclally reported from Petrograd that the Bolshevikl have taken control at Novo-Tcher-kask,- capital of the province of the Don Cossacks and headquarters of General Keledines, hetman of the Cos Backs. . The London Dally Mall reports the establishment by the British govern ment, of informal relations with Maxim LItvinoft, recently appointed by the Bolshevikl government as Russian ambassador at London. The explanation of this, according to the Mall Is that possibly Lenlne and Trotxy, If they retain the do facto power, might eventually give heed to tne counsel of tne allied governments, and it is not desirable that communi cation with Petrograd be cut off. . A meeting of the crown council at Berlin Is reported by the Lokal Anaelger, composed of Field Marshal (Continued on page Four.)

The report of the Wolff Bureau, the German semi-official news agency, on Satur day's deliberations at the Brest- Lltovsk peaos conference says that at the opening e the sitting Count Cser nin, Austro-Hungarlan foreign min ister, announced that the central pow ers reoognlsed the Ukraine delegation "aqi' Independent delegation repre senting the Ukraine republic,"' , but thaj; fermai ;r48oojon.f -h OTtraii nlan republic as an tadependent state would be reserved Zor ' the " peace treaty. . - . No Connection. M. Trotsky, the Bolshevikl foreign minister, followed Count Czernin, say ing tnat suoh conflicts as had oc curred between the Russian govern ment and ths Ukraine have "had no connection with the question' of the self-determination of the . Ukraine, concerning which there is no room for conflict between the two sister re publics." ? M. Bolubowysch, . ' the ; Ukrainian secretary of state, accepted the state ments of Count Caernln and M. Trotsky and announced that his dele gates would participate in the peace negotiations on that basis. Lter in the session, the delegates discussed., the German claim that the Russian wireless statements Issued during the recess constituted a trans gression of the spirit of the armistice. M. Trotsky desired to know in what particular the spirit of the armistice had been transgressed and General Hoffmann, of the German delegation replied: TrAnsgressed Intention. "At the head of the armistice 4eaty stood the words 'bring about a last ing peace.' . Tour Russian propaganda transgressed this Intention, because it did not strive after a lasting peace but to carry the resolutions concerning civil war into the countries of the cen tral powers." M. Trotsky answered General Hoff-J mann. pointing out that all the Ger man newspapers were being freely ad mitted into Russia, even newspapers which were supporting the views of ths extreme Russian reactionaries. Complete equality had been observed in this respect, and H had nothing to do with the armistice treaty.

LONDON, Jan, II. Th Russian account of the' session of the peace conference at Brast-Litovsk shows a considerable variance from the Ger man version transmitted by the) Wotff bureau Saturday. The Russian vers-I ion pictures the Russian delegates as Acting throughout wwn more tnan a suspicion rather than an actual con viction that the German delegates were virtually agents of the military and annexationist groups. One pas sage of Trotsky's speech which the Wolff bureau omits, follows: "The sincerity of our aspirations for peace are sufficiently proved by our attitude regarding ths free right of development of Finland, Armenia and Ukralnia. The other aids has only to show an analogous attitude regarding tne regions occupieo iy Referring to an early part of Trot sky's speech, , the German version speaks of a certain telegram, about which M says M. Trotsky expressed regrets. The Russian . version says nothing about regrets but Introduces a fiery passage asserting that the Ger man viewpoint regarding re -occupied territories is merely that the wlil of the people should be replaced toy the will of a privileged group.' Near the close is a passage which the German version fives thus: "A World Fwsc."
