THE HAGUE, Dec. 12-—A corre

typists at the Rathaus sitting with
revolvers beside them and the cor
ridors guarded by soldiers with fixed
bayonets. A quarrel was in progress
between mine sweepers and the ma

From Treating Huns Harshly
LONDON TIMES CABLE TO THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.,
By HERBERT BAILEY.
COBLENZ, Dec. 12—The Ameri
ean troope at Coblenz have mét a
reception sgomewhat more cordial than
at Treves, although for some days
previous the evident desire of the
Americans not to antagonize the civil
jan population had a marked effect.
In Treves the Americans studiously
refrained from measures which might
appear to have been inspired by a
desire to treat the Germans in the
zone of occupation as the Germans
treated the Frenmch and the Belgian
civillan population in the four years
in which they had occupled invaded
territory.
No regulations so far have been
promulgated calling the inhabitants
to remain indoors at night, and there
is absolutely no interference with the
daily life of the people. Indeed Ger
man soldiers in uniform still appear
on the streets and are not even oblig
ed to salute American officers.
The attitude of the American army
of occupation is caleculated to impress
the inhabitants taht the people of the
United States have no animosity
against the German people. On the
other hand the German population
shows that it looks to America as its
best friend and relies on the United
ptates to obtain the most favorable
peace terms. As a natural result there
is an atmosphere of mutual consid
eration here. I

condition of the horses is sald to be
particularly good and all lorries and
motor transport vehicles are deco
rated with green leaves and holly.
Here, as in Treves, the homegoing
Germans received a great welcome
from the civil population. All Ger
mans assert the army returned un
beaten., Certainly the attitude of the
inhabitants of Coblenz is not that of
a beaten people. n the evening the
cases are crowded with we]ll-dressed
men and women and there is musie
and animation in all the brightly
lighted resorts.
The food conditions in Coblenz ap
pear to be similar as in Treves. The
poorer people are strictly rationed,
but what they can get is sold cheap,
at prices fixed by the Burgomaster,
All surplus food is in the hands of
speculators and can be bought by
those who have the money. A small
fish costs eight marks. Sixteen marks
is charged for a small omelet. What
seems to be needed urgently is a
more equitable distribution of avall
able supplies.
Dersistent rumors are current here
that Hindenburg has stopped the de
mobilization of the German army and
has refused to comply with the de
mands of the Socialists that the re
turning soldiers be sent as soon as
possible to their homes.

today. Telephones have been in
stalled throughout the mansion, even
in the dressing rooms and bathrooms,
and the electric lighting system has
been improved.
President and Mrs, Wilson will dine
at an inlaid mahogany table, large
enough to accommodate 35 guests.
The Prince left the celebrated gold
dinner service for the presidential
party,
A beautiful gondola shaped bed was
set aside for the President, but for
fear it would prove too short, another
was provided for reserve,
Mrs, Wilson will sieep in a eanopled
bed of pink brocade with pink tapes

The dressing rooms In the Presi
dent's sulte have closets big enough
to hold 50 sults of clothes and 100
palrs of shoes, not to mention the
space for hats,
The commodious closets in Mrs.
Wilson's dressing quarters will ac
commodate 100 gowns, 200 pairs of
shoes and slippers, 60 parasols, 50
fans and other accessories of the
feminine toilet, The carpets on the
floors are nearly an inch thick, Es
pecial pains were taken with the
lighting system, The lights do not
shine direct from the bulbs, but are
shaded with globes of soft tones,
In the parlors are great candelabras
with myriads of crystals dangling
from them.
The bathrooms are 30 feet square,
containing movable tubs,
There are more than 4,000 glasses
in the pantries with which to serve
upward of 60 different kinds of bev
erages,
' Cooks and walters for the presiden

The grounds around the mansion, a
couple of acres in extent, will be
heavily guarded by French troops. An
electric lighting system has been es
tablished so that the guards can sig
nal each other. Sentries will patrol
the vast lawns all the time.
The controversy over the alleged
attempt of the Socialists to monopo
lize President Wilson is reaching a
warm stage.
The Temps, in a lengthy first-page
article, criticizes the Socialist party,
the General Confederation of Work
ers, the League of the Rights of Man
and other organizations which have
been placarding billboards with ap
peals to give the American executive
a mammoth welcome,
The organizations are accused of
trying to exploit the Presidents visit
to their own Interests,
“It is strange,” says The Temps,
“to mee these elements capitalizing
Mr. Wilson’s visit that never ceased
to extol a peace by compromlise—a
procedure which the President form
ally denounced as dangerous, Presi
dent Wilson Is not the guest of any
party, nor faction nor man; he is the
guest of France.”
Despite this criticism, new pamph

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—With the di

and overseas shipping, is vastly im

raw sugar from New Orleans to New

Many wooden vessels have been re

and more will be released. Of the four
lake boats taken over by the coastwise
lines, three will be immediately released.
Concerning troops in training camps,
the rallroad administration has record

“Arrangements for the storage of ac
cumulation of war supplies which will
not be needed overseas i 8 progressing

explosives accumulated on the seaboard
is expected soon to be carried cut.”
The United States shipping board re
ports fresh labor difficulties and slow
unloading at a number of yards, but ac
cumulations are not serious,
The shipping board suspended work
on 314 hulls, and stopped overtime very
generally.

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Dec, 12.—Secre
tary McAdoo's proposal to extend the
period of Federal control of railroads
for five years is a ‘“deliberate effort
to institute a policy of permanent
Government ownership in this coun
try,” Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota,
charged in the Senate this afternoon.
“We have 21 months to decide
what shall be done with the rail
roads,” Senator Kellogg said. “Surely
that is time enough. Why do not we
meet the issue now? The real rea
gon, it seems to me, is that they
know the people will not accept Gov
ernment ownership of railroads in
any form at this time. Therefore,
they propose to put over the decision
until a later date, when the public
frame of mind may be more favor
able,’ .
.
People Have Right to
Test Control, M’Adoo Says
WASHINGTON, Dee. 12.—Exten
slon of the period of Government con
trol of railvoads for five years, until
January 1, 1924, was recommended to
Congress last night by Director Gen
eral McAdoo. Mr, McAdoo said this
would take the railroad question out
of politics for the present, give time
for carrying out an extensive pro
gram of improvements, and provide
the opportunity for a falr test of uni
fled control to indicate the perma
nent solution of the railroad problem.
“The President has given me per
mislson to say that this conclusion
accords with his own view of the
matter,” Mr. McAdoo concluded.
The letter was addressed to Sena
tor Smith, of South Carolina, and
Representative Sims, chairmen, re
spectively, of the Senate and House
interstate commerce committees, Mr,
McAdoo explained that to continue
Government operation for 21 months
after formal declaration of peace un
der present conditions would mean
disruption of morale among em
ployees and officers, and could not
enable the Government to go ahead
with improvements and purchase of
equipment. Another alternative, the
prompt return of the rallroads to pri
vate control, without legislation to
permit elimination of the old wasteful
competition, would be “hurtful alike
to the public interest and to the rall
roads themselves,” he sald, and the
aifficuity of obtaining immediate leg
islation providing a permanent solu
tion, is apparent.
“There 18 one, and, to my mind,
only one, practicable and wise alter
native,” Mr. McAdoo continued, “and
that is to extend the period of Fed
eral control from the one year and
rine months provided by the present
law to five years, or until the first
day of January, 1924. This extension
would take the rallroad question out
nf politics for a reasonable period. Ii
would give composure to railroad of.
