Coincidentally, it was announced
plans have been laid for extensive use
of inland waterways as an auxiliary
means of transportation. Director
McAdoo issued statement urging
adoption by Congress of this feature
of the new railroad bill. ,
Heading the listof fast passenger
expresses affected by . the -curtailment
order, was the famous "Congressional
Limited" between New York and
Washington. Hereafter, this train
will make the trip in six. instead of
five hours and will carry but. four
Pullmans, in place of theSDlid-sti-Ttnimediate
bule make-up of -the-' past. . " '
While details of the re-adjustment
were not available at the railroad 'aa
ministration, new" time-tables, it was
said, are on hafitttiMffllar.''r
Reduction of Eastern roads' service
will be followed in the .near future by
material curtailments throughout the
Middle West, notably between St.
Louis and Chicago where four, com
peting lines operate - Pullman service.

Hundreds, of high power locomotives

policy. ;
In connection with the orders, Di
rector-General McAdoo appealed to tne
traveling public taltmit travel - "as
much as possible," and eliminate pleas
ure trips for the period of the war.
His statement follows:
An important change ra-thepassex-
-ger-train service on: the Eastern ran

essary that passenger travel, shall be

kvery patriotic citizen can directly

the present unsatisfactory situation
on the railroads by refraining from al
unnecessary travel at this time.
"The break-down in passenger set
vice of the various roads in the East
has not made a pleasant impression
on the public, but it must be borne in
mind that the railroad companies are
pun seriously congested with an un

Yesterday'3 Statement to the
Labor Congress Stirs World's
Statesmen
SOME PREDICT A
PEACE THIS SPRING
Official -Washington Remains
Silent,' But Others Are F ree
In Expressing Hope That.
War's End is Near
London, Jan. 5. In phrases whose
tersely emphatic words snapped
against German autocracy, Premier
Lloyd-George made Britain's reply to
day to Count Czernin's Teutonic
peace term's.
"Before" permanent peace can
come," the Welsh statesman dramat
ically concluded, "three conditions
must be fulfilled.
"First., the sanctity of the treaty
must be established.
"Second, there must be territorial
settlements based on the consent of
those governed.
"Third, and lastly, there must be
created some internajionl -organization
to limit the burden of arma
ments and diminish the probability
of war."
On this keynote arch, the Prime
Minister erected the full structure
of Britain's and the Allies' war
aims.
Britain, he insisted, was fighting
Not for destruction or disruption
of Germany. '
. Not for destruction of Austria-Hungary
or Turkey.
Not merely to alter or destroy the
Imperial constitution of Germany. ;
,Not to take -'Turkey's capital cits
--knstantin0ple or vher: -possesslonsi
that are predominantly Turkish.
On the other hand, the Empire and j
the Empire's Allies were battling for
these principles : '
One: Complete restoration of Bel
gium. - Two Reparation as far as possi
ble tor devastated towns and cities.
' Three: Neutralization and interna
tionalization of the Tardanelles.
Four: ' "Reconsideration" of the
"great wrong done to France in
1871." Referring to Alsace-Liorrainen.
r Five: Establishment . of an inde
pendent , Poland, comprising all gen
uinely Polish elements, because this
is necessary to, the stability of West
ern Europe."
Six: Arabia Armenia, Mosopo
tamia and Syria and Palestine all to
separate national conditions.
Seven: Russia's future to be left to
decision of the Russian people them
selves. Eight: Inhabitants of the African
colonies, "to be placed under an ad
ministration abceptable to themselv
es for the purpose of preventing ex
ploitation for the benefit of European
capitalists and European govern
ments." v
"The destruction and disruption of
Germany has never been our aim,"
the Premier solemnly declared. "A
democratic constitution in Germany
would be the most convincing 'evi
dence that the spirit of military
domination had died and would make
easieF democratic peace negotia
tions ftut that is a question for the
j, " Wi . are not fighting to destroy
Austria-Hungary or to deprive Tur
key of her capital or her rich lands
in Asia Minor and Thrace which
are predominantly Turkish, not mere
ly to alter or destroy the Imperial
constitution of Germany. V
"We will stand by the French der
mocracy to the death. We mean re
consideration for the great wrong of
1871.' ."An independent Poland com
prising all the genuinely Polish ele
ments is absolutely necessary to . the
Stability of Western Europe.
: "The Dardanelles should be neu
tralized and , internationalized. ; Ar-
mania,; Mesopotominaj Syria and Pal
estine are entitled to recognition and,
to separate . national conditions.
. "Whaf form each shall take, it , is
not necessary to discuss here." '.
: "Unless genuine self government; is
'granted the. Austrp-Hungarian nation
alities so long' 'desiring it, it Is - im
possible -to hope ,for removal of" the
causes of .unrest in that part , of
Europe which have so long threaten
ed the general peace. -
"On the 'same 'ground, we regard
with vital satisfaction the legiti
mate claims of the Italians for union
with those of their own race and ton-
fgue, also the legitimate aspirations
of those of Rumanian blood and

Premier Declares There is No

ter Proposals
Washington, Jan. 5. Lloyd-George's
speech today on war aims speus a
verv lone stride toward peace. It
brings the war's end nearer by months
than any Other public utterance from
the Allied nations to date..
That eptomizes Washington sent
ment tonight, insofar as opinion has
had a chance to crystalize over this
momentous declarations. While its
tone iska war ring, and while the few
briet comments for publication still
take he tick of recent weeks that
peace cannot be considered now- Ihe
private talk of high officials was that
the Premier had moved extremely, far
toward stopping hostilities.
Taking the speech as a whole, and
casting aside many of its details, au
thorities stressed the one big thought,
namely: - ' ' ; ;
This is the most specific war aim 3
peace terms statement i- voiced
thus far, not even excepting President
Wilson's frank' declarations, -j.it '-snows

dentially predict that the speech
means peace by May day. - Th?3 man
is generally regarded as an i earnest
analyst and while, his prediction was
regarded as , tar " too . ' liberal, the
thought of peace this year 8-9; Y0iced
In many expert quarters. ; 5 -
The State Department was silent.
Others warned that whether or not
this is a step toward peace. 1 'he main
business of the United States now is
war and preparation vfor the ;"war.
There must be no letting --down just
because statesmen, appear to be - get
ting together to - settle troubles with
out force of arms, it was emphasized:
Lloyd-George himself carried the very
solemn, warning that the Allies are
prepared for even further' sacrifices
than ever in a righteous cause.
Geting down to an analysis of the
Premier's specific terms, the authori
ties pointed out that he had taken a
leaf ,frdm President Wilson's book in
trying to reassure Austria and Ger
many that this war is not one of dis
memberment nor disruption. '
This was manifestly sn appeal i to
the liberals of Germany "and Austria
arid the war weary element of Austria
to shift the present autocratic control
to a democracy. , . v
And while he pointed out clearly the
world's doubt of the sincerity, of the
present German government by de
jnanding re-establishment; of the sanc
tity of treaties, he-made a distinct bid
for the revolution; within, the Central
Empires. , V';-
. As for strictly territorial problems,
Lloyd-George undoubtedly made the
strongest concession yet suggested on
the Allied side with respect to Alsace
Lorraine when he demanded "recoil
sideration" not reparation of its
wrongs, and did not insist that France
regain ' it. Alsace-Lorraine, regarded
as the real . nub of trouble, might de
cide her own fate by-; vote, under an
Interpretation . of ." "f econsideration"
quite, generally given here.
Restoration and reparation for BeV
gium have been balking v. points "r fur
Germany; but V reparation, Lloyd
George shows, is absolutely necessary
as a basis for any peace negotiations.
Establishment of an' independent
Poland is regarded as a fair proposal
together with separate entities for
Arabia, Mespotamnia Syria and . Pal
estine, though it . Is - doubtful whether
the Central Empires J will;:; be particu
larly amenable to this suggestion. '"
Lloyd-George, it. was felt, made an
indirect appeal to the. Russians toi
come' back into the Allied fold, or foi:
ever lose an opportunity to protection
of her rights and interests. (In .pel
icy, the United StatesTadieally, differs
with England). However, he appar:
ently ' sought, too, : to show ' that ;the!
Allies are not desirous of lenfpcin5
