TAFT IS REPRESENT PUBLIC By tne Associated Pres. Washington, Feb. 26. Former President Taft was chosen today by representatives of capital as the representative of the public for the ioint conference here between em ployes and capital. The workers represented also will name their agenc. Mr. Taft has wired his acceptance and is expected here tomorrow. The conferees held their second session today and each side prepared to out line a program. Tomorrow they will present their views in what they consider an agreement to last dur ing the war. The agreement will be sent to secretary of labor for his endorsement and will be the basis for labor during the war. today by President Wilson and state department officials without any of ficial indication of how it was re garded or that it would be made the basis of further steps for the president's discussion before congress. (Indication that the president would make it the occasion for an other address found no support, Oth er officials who read the chancellor's address closely thought it sought to emphasize tilie point made by the president in an earlier address that while the central powers appeared to accept the broad, altruistic princi ples for which the entente allies and America are contending, when it came to specifying they were silent. They noted particularly von Hert ling's reference to Ireland, India and Egypt and regarded it as calculated to create discord between the en tente allies and continue a deception of the German people who apparent ly believe the military party is wil ling to accept peace without annex ations and indemnities nAn DHL) ROYA L ARCAN1UM IS DECLARED ALL RIGHT VESTIGATE COLUMBIA WRECK h:uo WMI 111 l; CAPTfHKD H tiic A-- r.i, r a Pre.53.

The toll of death from the wreck at Frost on the Southern railway, about five miles west of Columbia yesterday afternoon when passenger train No. 42 crashed into the rear of passen ger train 18, stood at 12 today and reports at the Columbia Hospital in dicated that all of the 37 passen gers injured yesterday were getting along ' satisfactorily. A coroner's inquest to place the responsibility for the wreck was to begin at noon today. Three theories have been advanced as to the cause of the wreck. One was that the flagman on No. 18 failed to leave a torpedo on the 1 track to warn No. 42, another was that the operator at Bookman, the nearest station to Frost, failed to act promptly and the third was that 'train No. 42 was traveling at an ex cess rate of speed. A rigid inves tigation will be made. AVIATION PROGRAM IS MAKING FINE PROGRESS K ANNAPOLIS MAN KILLED; STATESVILLE MAN INJURED Hickory noir basket Washington;, Febj. 26.

Germany through her chancellor, Count von Hertling, declares that a general peace can be discussed on the basis of the four principles laid down by President Wilson. . HJowever, the clanlcellor's accep tance W70s followed by the statement that these principles must be recog nized by all countries and people, which stage has not been reached yet. A court of arbitaration is lacking, the chancellor said, adding that the tribual of the world is prejudical and Germany declines to be judged by it." He insisted that the entent war aims were still imperialistic although admitting that the presi dent had made a start in the direc tion of peace. Chancellor von Hertling voiced no great change in Germany's attitude towards the question which entente statesmen declared to be fundamen tal. He did not go into great detail concerning Germany's conduct toward President Wilson's recent statement. Tihe abjeqt sirrendjer of Russia was gloried in as leading to peace on the eastern front and a hint was thrown out to the Belgian gov ernment to enter into separate peace negotiations with Germany. The problem of Alsace-Lorraine was continued to be held as not of international aspects. Meanwhile although Russia is ready to conclude peace, the conquest of her territory by the Germans continues. Reval. the Russian naval base on the southern Baltic has been occupied. The rapid German advance contin ues along the line southward, es pecially in Volhynia and the Ukraine. In Siberia the situation is very serious and Japan is reported to be preparing to intervene tnere very soon. The Russian forces there not only have to contend with the bol sheviki, but with released Austrian and German prisoners. Activity on the western battle front is still confined to raids, ar tillery duels, aerial fighting and bombing. There has been an in. crease in the raiding operations along the Piave river in Italy, but no changes in positions have been re ported. The artillery duel in the Ameri can sector in France continues vio lent. Another German raider, the Wolf, has arrived in port after harassing entente vessels in the Atlantic, Pa cific and Indian oceans. The total of the vessels destroyed has not been announced, but the loss of 11, three of the American, have been reported by the British admiralty. Unable to break the British cor don around the North sea the Wolf slipped into the Austrian port of Pola on, the Adriatic. She brought 400 prisoners and a valuable cargo taken from her prizes. A second auxiliary cruiser which the Wolf equipped was sunk by a Brit ish warship last February. While the W(olf was gone 15 months apparently she did not do as great damage as her famous sister ship, the Moewe, which carried out two raids in the Atlantic in 1915 and 1916.
