EVIL EFFECTS OF GERMAN IN
VESTMENTS IN ITALY
The harm which the United States
will have it in her power to do, after
the war, because of her financial in
terests in foreign countries, is illus
trated by Lugigi Criscuolo in an ar
ticle in the “Independant,” by citing
the case of Italy and the effects of
German investments. He argues
that the United States should not fol
low Germany’s method, which is to
dominate the country first in the
fields of finance, then in politics and
so pave the way to political domin
ation. .
Italy’s statesmen who aimed to
make her again a great power in the
Mediterranean, at first looked with
favor on the great flow of German
capital which poured into Italy and
helped develop her industries, rail
ways, hydro-electric plants, and bank
ing institutions. ‘“‘Soon,” writes Mr.
Crizcuolo, they began to realize that
with financial control existing, poli
tical domination was but a step away,
for ,after the Germans had secured
control of a great part of Italy’s fi
nancial and industrial enterprises
they began to attempt to secure con
trol of legislators and even ministers.
The Italian people were friendly
with German financial interests so
long as they confined themselves to
finance; the moment they saw the
yoke of political domination held
over them they began to rebel.
Those statesmen who wisely guided
the destinies of Italy were quick to
unshackle their people from German
economic bondage.”
What Germany tried to do in Italy,
the United States must not permit
herself to be tempted to try in the
small nations of Europe who will
need financial aid, according to Mr.
Criscuolo. Germany’s methods em
ployed in Italy aimed toward finan
cial despotism. He believes the
United States should follow a policy
of benevolent economic leadership.

RECRUITS WANTED FOR
U. S. MARINE CORPS
+ Washington, December® 4.—Re
cruiting for the marine corps will
be resumed at once under an order
issued today by Secretary Daniels.
Enlistments will be four years, for
mer standards will be maintained
and there will be no limit on the
number of men to be accepted. Emer
gency sub-stations established dur
ing the war in small towns will not
be rz-opened for the present.
GERMAN AIR FLEET IS
SURRENDERED PIECEMEAL
TLondon, Wednesday, Dec. 4.—
There will be no formal surrender of
German airplaines as was at one time
expected, because it has been found
impracticable to assemble 2,000 air
planes at one place and it is doubtful
whether Germany has a sufficient
numboer of reliable pilots for the pur
pose. Hence the first surrender in
history of an air fleet is being ef
fected by piecemeal.
The Germans are shedding their
wings in the course of retreat and
the advancing allies are picking them
up.

SLEEPING-CAR PASSAGE
CHARGES ARE REDUCED
Director General McAdoo author
izes the following:
Tfective December 1, the addition
al passage charge of 16 2-3 per cent
of the normal one-way fare now re
quired from passengers traveling in
standard sleeping cars and parlor cars
and 8 1-3 per cent of the normal one
way fare required from passengers
traveling in tourist sleeping cars will
be abolished. This means a reduction
of one-half cent per mile in the fare
of otassengers using standard sleeping
or parlor cars, and one-fourth cent a
mile in the fare of those using tourist
sleeving cars.
The charge in question has served
a useful purpose in conserving sleep
ing-car equipment.
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, | would spit it up. I bggan to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. | found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I heard

me. | keep it in the house all the time. It is the best
liver medicine made. Idp not have sick headache or
stomach trouble.any more.” Black-Draught acts on

ONE CENT A DOSE am
POSTAL FIGHTING BURLESON
ORDER SEIZING ALL CABLES
New York, December 4.—Com
plaint in an injunction suit against
Postmaster General Burleson was
filed by the Commercial Cable com
pany here today seeking to prevent
the postmaster general from assum
ing control of the company’s marine
cable system.
The complaint alleges that if the
postmaster general is not enjoined
from carrying out his purpose the
company will sustain irreparable
damage. It was filed by Charles E.
Hughes and William Cook, as coun
sel for the company.
The main basis of the bill of com
plaint is that after the armistice was
signed the war power no longer op
erated except to wind up matters al
ready in the hands of the govern
ment prior to its signing.
To show that the armistice really
put an end to the war in the meaning
of the joint resolution of congress
taking over the iwo systems, the
following extract from the presi
dent’s address on November 11 is
quoted:
“The war thus comes to an end,
for, having accepted these terms of
armistice, it will be impossible for
the German command to renew it.”
The complaint asserts that the
government is not sincere in its con
tention that control of the cables is
needed during the peace negotiations,
pointing out that in addition to the
Atlantic cables, the government also
took over the Pacific cables and those
to South and Central America and
Cuba.
It is claimed that the Atlantic
cables were being operated to their
fulest capacity and that the govern
ment was being given priority, and
itis contended that no faster or great
er service can be given under govern
ment control.
PRESIDENT UNDECIDED AS TO
FUTURE RAILROAD CONTROL
Washington, Dec. s—President
Wilson has no immediate intention of
returning the railroads under govern
ment control to private ownership,
but intends to wait a reasonable
time for congress to formulate and
present some future policy.
This was stated today by Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, chairman
of the senate interstate commerce
committee, who had an hour’s con
ference with President Wilson last
night before the latter left Wash
ington.
“His position as I understand it,”
said Senator Smith, “is that he puts
squarely up to congress the question
of working out a future policy and
that as speedily as is possible. The
president has no preconceived policy
on the subject, and now waits for
congress to handle the question.”
ORGANIZED LABOR TO FIGHT
FOR U. S. CONTROL OF ROADS
Washington, Dec. s.—Organized
labor today was moving its forces
on congress for the battle to have
the government retain the railroads.
Every indication points to the la
bor unions as the leader in the gov
ernment ownership movement.
Members of the house interstate
commerce committee are daily re
ceiving government ownership peti
tions from unions throughout the
country.
Representatives Keating, of Colo
rado; Lunn, of New York, and others
who are generally found on the side
of labor have come out for govern
ment ownership with the statement,
“You can’t unscramble the eggs.”
Representative Cooper, of Ohio, a
former railroad engineer, although
not himself a government ownership
man, today admitted that a heavy
majority of the labor forces want
the government to retain the rail
roads permanently.

GERMANY HAS ASSETS
TO PAY WAR DAMAGES
London, December 4.—ln review
ing the question of whether Germany
is able to pay war damages and the
wa rexpenditures incurred by the al
lies, The Daily Mail declares that the
estimated allied expenditures of $25,-
000,000,000 are less than one-seventh
of the main German assets in sight.
The railway system in the German
states are the property of the vari
ous governments, which, in addition,
own forests, mines and large areas of
lands. The newspaper says that a
moderate estimate of the value of
German mineral deposits is £191,-
000,000,000.
In 1871 Germany made France
pay not only the cost of the war, but
exacted a fine of £86,000,000 and
the surrender of Alsace-Lorraine.
The Daily Mail says that the allies
ask for no fines, but require ‘‘repa
ration” only.
