Success of 1eagne Depends Wholly
Upon Reciprocal Relations, De
clares Vice-President.
CARLISLE. Pa.. Dec 20. VIoe-Fresl-
dont Marshall, in an address hero to
night before the Carlisle Chamber of
Commerce, tcave his views on some
questions now under discussion in con
nection with the peace conferences.
On the question of a world league of
understanding- to prevent war, Mr.
Marshall declared that until all men
are of Rood will wars will not cease
unless nations desire peace at any
price. He said the allien and the United
States could go very far toward pro
moting peace, but predicted that unless
reciprocal trade agreements are made
between these associated nations, ex
isting cordial relations cannot last.
Urging extension of the American mer
chant marine, he voiced opposition to
Government ownership, but declared it
preferable to a ship subsidy.
League Meld Desirable.
"It is farthest from my thought upon
this occasion to utter a single word
which might in any manner be con
strued as endeavoring to affect the
negotiations of the President In. Eu
rope," said the Vice-President, in open
inc his address. "Too many half-baked
opinions coming from myself and oth
ers in public life might cause mental
and moral indigestion. I speak, there
fore, only in general terms.
"That some league of understanding
among civilized peoples for the preven
tion of certain future wars (as I pre
fer to put it rather than for the en
forcement of peace), is desirable, all
right-thinking men agree. It has been
the dream of all ages. Thus far this
dream of universal peace has each suc
ceeding time turned into a nightmare.
Experienced May Succeed.
"This appears to me to be the real
situation: If mankind the world over
is the mankind of a hundred years
agro. or if there is the possibility that
either England, France, Italy or the
United States contains the growing j
perm or military or commercial su
premacy, then though attempt may be
made to preserve the peace of the
world, the attempt will be another fail
ure. "If, however, tho masses of mankind
in these four great nations and in the
lesser nations, for whom jointly the
fight has been made, have seen a new
light and are convinced, of the use
lessness and folly of war, and if more
and more, education and enlightenment
as the days go by and the generations
come and go, shall add to the number
of those who thus think, then the ex
periment will succeed."
Trade Agreemrat Xeeded.
Stating that commercial disputes
breed wars, Mr. Marshall continued:
"I have of course no means of know
ing what the representatives of the al
lied governments may be willing to
take up with the American people at
the peace table, but I venture the as
sertion that the god will which now
exists between the allied governments
and our own will not last five years
unless reciprocal trade relations, fixed
in justice, are arranged ' between us.
Peoples learn slowly and soon forget."

These are the first pictures received of the last of the beaten foe retreating in orderly manner before the allied
advance of the armies of occupation. Their smiles signify that they are glad the strife is ended and glad that Bill
Hohenzollern is a "has been." In the above picture German infantrymen have utilized wagons to facilitate their
retreat and have placed a Jackass in the cart which they will bring back to Germany, probably as a reminder of
their contumaciousness. In the lower- panel German cavalry, which figured to prominently at the Tery beginning
of the war, are retreating before the allied armies.

considering the reinstatement of the
Hapsburg rule as a counterpoise to
possible Hohenzollern influence.
Monarchy Held Costly.
Official circles here profess inability
to conceive what possible interest the
entente and America could have in
seeking such a restoration.
Apart from the steady progress which
republican views made during the war
and the equally extraordinary wane of
dynastic popularity, the people of German-Austria
say that the upkeep of the
Emperor and his establishment, with
no less than 69 Archdukes and Arch
duchesses, constitute a grave burden
even for the former empire, with near
ly 60,000,000 people.
It would now be utterly impossible
to maintain such a monarchy, with a
population which, under the most fa
vorable adjustments, cannot exceed
9,000,000. This view is shared by the
people of the outlying crown lands,
such as the Tyrol and Salesburg, which
were formerly devoted to the dynasty.
Army Demobilization Orderly.
Official circles admit that the present
coalition government is the outcome
of necessity and may not prove perma
nent, owing to the conflict of classes,
which is continually growing sharper.
Nevertheless, the government is con
vinced that Austrjan labor is not prone
to Bolshevism.
The outcome will depend on the re
sults of efforts to obtain sufficient food
and coal to .avert Imminent catas
trophe. It is of prime importance to
alleviate the misery of the masses. In
measures for relief the government
counts on the good offices of the en
tente. Contrary to reports that have been
spread in neutral countries, demobili
zation of the late Austrian army was
accomplished with remarkable, rapid
lty and without social disorder. "

Coburg Center of
Disturbance.
EUGENE. Or., Dec 20. (Special.)
Lane county was visited by a mid-Western
cyclone ast night, a real "twister"
that tore trees off close to the ground,
smashed windows and left ruin along
its entire path.
The storm strode between 8:30 and
9 o'clock in the evening and was ac
companied by a heavy rain. Coburg,
nine miles east of this city, was ap
parently the storm center, and here the
cyclone could be heard approaching
several minutes before it hit. It swept
a clear path the entire-length of the
main street of the town, snapping off
telephone and electric light poles and
carrying away everything loose, but did
but little damage to the buildings on
either side.
The cyclone also struck at Santa
Clara. Just outside of Eugene, and did
considerable damage. Tres 24. Inches
in diameter were twisted off. In the
home of one dairyman in that section
every window was zroken.
Seventy-five hundredths of one inch
of rain, the heaviest precipitation dur
ing a like period recorded here this
year fell during the storm.

Definite' Plans for Private Resump
tion of Lines Worked Ont at
New York Conference.
NEW TORK, Dec. 20. A definite pro
gramme calling for prompt return of
the railroads after the passage of re
medial Federal legislation was worked
out at a meeting here today of the
standing committee of the Association
of Railroad Executives, according to an
announcement tonight. While provr
sions of the plan were not made public.
it was said that they took into consid
eration every detail of the problem. The
programme will be submitted next
month to the Senate interstate com
merce committee, if it is approved at a
full meeting of the association, called
here for December 80.
Whatever the cost, it was said, the
executives are opposed to extending the
period of Federal control beyond 21
months after the signing of epace. as
prescribed by law. ' It is understood
that, rather than have the time ex
tended to five years, as suggested by
Director-General McAdoo, they would
prefer return of the roads without the
proposed legislation.
A hint as to what form the executives
think this legislation should take is
found in the reasons they ascribe for
improved conditions effected by Gov
ernment operation, additional equip
ment, abolition of the shippers' power
to route his own traffic. Increase In de
murrage rates, decrease in time allowed
for loading and unloading cars, and
strict supervisions of shipments.
Today's committee meeting followed
a session held in Philadelphia last
week, when a tentative draft of the
programme was made. Since then the
24 members of the committee, it was
said, had submitted the draft to the
leading railroad Interests In various
parts of the country.

pounds of burley tobacco used in the
United States comes from eKntucky.
In 1914 prices for all qualities of leaf,
lugs and trash averaged between 10
and 12 cents a pound, while the price
for the heavy, dark export type of to
bacco grown in the "black patch" of
Western eKntucky climbed from 6 cents
to 16 cents.
When the war began tobacco produc
tion in European countries was virtu
ally halted and there was a tremendous
drain on the big stocks of American
tobacco In European warehouses. It
was the demand made upon these re
serve stocks that sent prices upward,
rather than the overseas shipments,
which were In reality smaller than
those in times of peace, dealers say.
As the big reserve supplies decreased
American exporters began buying in
the American market to replace the
stocks when peace would brine; ade
quate transportation facilities.
The amount now held for export,
however. Is not sufficient, in the opin
ion of, bid dealers, to replenish forelprn
stocks. They say that this condition,
coupled with the desire of domestic
