Washington.--President Wilson has MSumed control of the entire railway system of the country as a war meas­ ure. The railroads will be controlled and operated by the government under direction of William G. McAdoo, secre­ tary of the treasury. Mr. McAdoo's official title will be director general of railways. In taking over the railways Presi­ dent Wilson has followed largely the plan adopted in England. The govern­ ment will guarantee each road shall receive a net operating income equal to the average net income of the thre£ years preceding June 30, 1917. The president In his proclamation further assures stockholders and bondholders In the railroads that their Interest will jte scrupulously protected. All regular dividends hitherto de­ clared will be paid and the maturing interest upon bonds and debentures will be guaranteed by the government. Immediately upon reassembling of congress the president will ask for legislation providing definite guaran­ ties upon these points and also provid­ ing that the railways shall be main­ tained "in as good repair and as com­ plete equipment as when taken over by the government" Facilities Taken Over by U. 8. Under the president's proclamation the following are taken under United States control: All railroads, comprising 260.000 miles of lines, valued at $17,000,000,- 000. All coastwise, lake and river steam- Alp lines. ' All terminals, terminal companies and terminal associations. The Pullman company's sleeping cars and parlor cars. The packers' and other concerns* private car lines. All railroad elevators and ware­ houses. AH railroads telegraph and telephone lines. The president also will ask legisla­ tion enabling him to solve the labor problem of the roads. . The application for a wage Increase averaging 40 per cent Is now pending. The men have refused to accept com- palsory arbitration while the roads "were under private control. This wage question, one of the most serious problems that confronts the government in operation of the roads, mnst be settled by Mr. McAdoo. The president's proclamation states he will take possession of the rail­ ways through Newton D. Baker, sec­ retary of war. Tills emphasizes his de­ termination to run the roads strictly , £8 a part of the military system. l|far Department Can Handle Draft. - The fact that the railways are un­ der the war department will simplify the matter of drafting men for work, in case an extreme step should be­ came necessary. , The president's advisers do not be­ lieve such measures will be needed. /H»e brotherhoods have demonstrated . their loyalty and are depended upon to adopt action now that will guar­ antee enthusiastic continued operation of the roads. In selecting Mr. McAdoo for the *»ost powerful place in the adminis­ tration, the president is known to have been Influenced by the fact that Mr. McAdoo has a thorough grasp not only «f railway and government finance, but also of the world's financial situation. Furthermore, one of the president's ad­ visers stated, he Is a man who does tilings. He can Cut through red tape. These two considerations pointed to the secretary of the treasury as the me to untie the transportation knot.

This is a war of resources no less than of men, perhaps even more than of men, and It is necessary for the complete mobilization of our resources that the transportation system of the country should be organized and em­ ployed under a single authority and a simplified method Of co-ordination which have not proved possible under private management and control. The committee of railway executives who have been co-operating with the government in this all important matter have done the utmost that it was possible for them to do; have done it with patriotic zeal and with great ability; but there were difficulties that they couid neither escape nor neutralize. Complete unity of administration in the present circumstances involves upon occasion and at many points a serious dislo­ cation of earnings, and the committee was, of course, without power or authority to rearrange charges or effect proper compensations and adjust­ ments of earnings. Several roads which were willingly and with admirable public spirit accepting the orders of the committee have already suffered from these circumstances and should not be required to suffer further, in mere fairness to them the full authority of the government must be substituted. The government itself will thereby gain an immense increase of efficiency in the conduct of the war and of the innumerable activities upon which its successful conduct depends. The public interest must be first served, and in addition the financial interests of the government and the financial interests of the railroads must be brought under a common direction. The financial operations of the railways need not, then, interfere with the borrowings of the govern­ ment, and they, themselves can be conducted at a greater advantage. Investorsin Railway securities may rest assured that their rights and interests will be as scrupulously looked after by the government as they could be by the directors of the several railway systems. Immediately upon the reassembling of congress I shall recommend that these definite guarantees be given: First, of course, that the railway properties will be maintained during the period of federal control in as good repair and as complete equipment as when taken over by the government; and, second, that the roads shall receive a net operating income equal in each case to the average net income of the three years preceding June 30, 1917; and I am entirely confident that the congress will be disposed in this case, as in others, to see that justice is done and full security assured to the owners and creditors of the great systems which the government must now use under its own direction or else suffer serious embarrass, ment The secretary of war and I are agreed that, all the circumstances being taken into consideration, the best results can be obtained under the immediate executive direction of William G. McAdoo, whose practical experience peculiarly fits him for the service and whose authority as sec­ retary of the treasury will enable him to co-ordinate as no other man could the many financial interests which will be involved and which' might, unless systematically directed, suffer very embarrassing entangle­ ments. The government of the United States is the only great government now engaged in the war which has not already assumed control of this sort. It was thought to be in the spirit of American institutions to at­ tempt to do anything that was necessary through private management, and if zeal and ability and patriotic motive could have accomplished the necessary unification of administration it would certainly have been accomplished; but no zeal or ability could overcome insuperable obstacles, and I have deemed it my duty to recognize that fact in all candor, now that it is demonstrated, and to use without reserve the great authority reposed in me. A great national necessity dictated the action and I was therefore not at liberty to abstain from it. rates and governed the traffic of the lines. Working Out Plans for Months, The plan now put into effect has been worked out by the president through a period of several months. Almost immediately after the United States entered the war it became evi­ dent the railroads, under private con­ trol, would not be able to stand the strain. The railway heads were willing to do everything the government de­ manded, but had not the power to force one road to sacrifice its finan­ cial interests In behalf of the general good. In formulating the plan he will present to congress the president stu­ died the system adopted in England and consulted men experienced In the results of the system. If the English plan is adopted in its entirety the government will order that government freight and officials en­ gaged on government business be car­ ried free. It then will pay out of pub­ lic funds to each road a sufficient sum to bring that road's operating Income up to the average of the three years preceding June 30, 1917. McAdoo, while director general of railroads, will retain the office of sec­ retary of the treasury, us the president has pointed out, McAdoo's authority as secretary of the treasury "will enable him to co-ordinate the many financial interests involved and which might, un­ less systematically directed, suffer very embarrassing entanglements." The attempt of the railroads them­ selves to provide this single authority and simplified organization in the exist­ ing railroads war board and its spe­ cial operating committee has proved a failure because of physical limita­ tions, although the president pays high tribute to the ability and zeal of the five rail executives whose efforts have been devoted to the task. Will Use War Board. The organization effected by the railroads' war board will be the foundation upon which Director Gen­ eral McAdoo will build the structure of government control. It is not un­ likely thut some, if not all of the mem­ bers of the war board, will be associ­ ated with Mr. McAdoo In administer­ ing the management of the unified lines. In his statement the president re­ fers to the defects of the system of unification attempted under private control. Several railroads have suf­ fered financially and physically from carrying out the orders o{ the war board, which require them to be utl- which is the vilest smelling compound tjiat man has so far Invented.

Need Fear No Losses. Under government control no rail­ road will incur such losses. The rail­ roads will not be interested in what class of traffic they handle, will not care whether it is profitable or un­ profitable. If it Is unprofitable the loss will be made good by the government, for the government assures the stock­ holders the return on their invest­ ment they enjoyed (on the annual av­ erage) for the three years ended June 30, 1917. Under government control the rail­ roads are to be assisted in obtaining the capital necessary to finance the vast extensions of trackage and termi­ nals and the building of additional lo­ comotives and cars made imperative by the demands -of war May Get Loan Later. The president says that under gov­ ernment control "the financial earn­ ings of the railways need not then in­ terfere with the borrowings of the government." Railroad investments are to he, made attractive to Investors by the government guarantee. Even­ tually a loan may be made by the gov­ ernment to the railroads. It is said, however. In the selection of Mr. McAdoo for director general of railroads that there lies the greatest promise of government assistance to I the railroads In financing their opera- -tlons and extensions. The president says that he will ask congress, immediately after the holi­ days, to' enact legislation providing that the rail properties under govern­ ment control shall be maintained in "as good repair and as complete equip ment as when taken over" and that the roads shall receive a "net operat­ ing income equal in each case to the average net income of the three years preceding June 30, 1917." Leaders in congress predict that the legislative branch will act without de­ lay upon the president's recommenda­ tions. Crosses Potato With Dahlia. A. Hickman, an aged gardener of Eureka.

ALL APPEALS WERE FLOUTED Pathetic and Dignified Supplications of Municipal Governments Answered by Rebuke and Heavy Firfe -Imposed by General Hopfer. Over the earnest, protest of Cardi­ nal Mercier, heroic head of the church in Belgium, the terrible plans of the kaiser's high officers concerning the deportation of the people were carried out. The sol­ emnly pledged word of the German governor general of Belgium count­ ed 03 nothing in the malignant hate, shown by the kaiser's creatures. Cardinal Mercier attempted to per­ suade the German authorities to aban­ don their terrible plans for the seizure of Belgians to assist in the prosecu­ tion of the war, reminding them of their solemn promises in the past: "Malines, 19th October, 1916. "Mr. Governor General: "The day* after the surrender of Ant­ werp the frightened population asked Itself what would become of the. Bel­ gians of age to bear arms or who would reach that age before the end of the occupation. The entreaties of the fa­ thers and mothers of families deter­ mined me to question the governor of Antwerp, Baron von Huene, who had the kindness to reassure me and to authorize me in his name to reassure the agonized parents. The rumor had spread at Antwerp, nevertheless, that at Liege, Namur, and Charleroi young men had been seized and taken by force to Germany. I therefore beg­ ged Governor von Huene to be good enough to confirm to me in writing the guarantee which he had given to me orally, to the effect that nothing sim­ ilar would happen at Antwerp. He said to me immediately that the ru­ mors concerning deportations were without basis, and unhesitatingly he sent me in writing, among other state­ ments, the following: 'Young men have no reason to fear that thety will be ta­ ken to Germany, either to be there en­ rolled in the army or employed for forced labor.' Solemn German Promises Broken. "Upon the arrival of your predeces­ sor, the late Baron von der Goltz, at, Brussels I had the honor of presenting myself at his house and requested him to be good enough to ratify for the en­ tire country, without time limit, the guarantees which General von Huene had given me for the province of Ant­ werp. The governor general retained this request in his possession In order to examine it at his leisure. The fol­ lowing day he was good enough to come in person to Malines to brlhg me his approval, and confirmed to me, In the presence of two aides-de-camp and of my private secretary, the promise that the liberty of Belgian citizens would be respected. "Notwithstanding all this, your gov­ ernment now tears from their homes workmen reduced in spite of their ef­ forts to a state of unemployment, sep­ arates them by force from their wives and children and deports them to en­ emy territory. , Numerous workmen have already undergone this unhappy lot; more numerous are those who are threatened with the same acts of vio­ lence. Mercier** Moving Appeal. "In the name of the liberty of domi­ cile and the liberty of work of Belgian citizens; in the name of the inviola­ bility of families; in the name of mor­ al interests which the measures of de­ portation would gravely compromise; in the name of the word given by the governor of the Province of Antwerp and by the governor general* the im­ mediate representative of the highest authority of the German empire, I re­ spectfully beg your excellency to be good enough to withdraw the measures of forced labor and of deportation an­ nounced to the Belgian workmen, and to be good enough to reinstate in their homes those who have already been deported. "Your excellency will appreciate how painful for me would be the weight of the responsibility that I would have to bear as regards these families, If the confidence which they have given you through my agency and at ray re­ quest were lamentably deceived. "I persist in believing that this will not be the case. "Accept, ^ir. Governor General, the assurance of my very high considera­ tion. "D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER, "Arch, of Malines."

Otherwise the city must bear the heavy consequences, as I have pointed out in my previous explana­ tions.

"The undersigned, members and rep­ resentatives of the great central so­ cialist and Independent syndicales of Belgium, would consider that they had not fulfilled their duty did they not ex­ press to you the painful sentiment which agitate the laborers and convey to you the echo of their touching com­ plaints. "For more than two years the la­ boring class more than any other has been forced to undergo the most bit­ ter trials, experiencing misery and often hunger, while its children far away fight and die, and the parents of these children can never convey to them the affection with which their hearts are overflowing. Pathetic Appeal Disregarded. "Our laboring class has endured everything with the utmost calm and the most impressive dignity, repressing its sufferings, its complaints and heavy trlttls, sacrificing everything to Its ideal of liberty and independence. But the measures which have been an­ nounced will make the population drain the dregs (of the cup) of human sor­ row; the proletariat, the poor upon whom unemployment has been forced, citizens of a modern state, are to be condemned to forced labor without having disobeyed any regulation or order. "In the name of the families of workmen among which the most pain­ ful anxiety reigns at present, whose mothers, whose fiancees, and whose little children are destined to shed so many more tears, we beg your excel­ lency to prevent the accomplishment of this painful act, contrary to In­ ternational law, contrary to the dig­ nity of the working classes, contrary to everything which makes for worth and greatness in human natrue. "We beg your excellency to pardon our emotion and we offer jou the hom­ age of our distinguished consideration."
