Old-Fashioned Rummage Sale
Democratic Leaders on Anxious
Seat Believing Conference 'Will
I"lx Campaign Programme.
OH EGO. VI AN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington? Feb. 12. President W!l
son's return to public life tomorrow
when he will receive representatives
of tho railway brotherhoods has given
a new turn to the political situation
Deniucratic leaders are marking time
to leaj-u it possible what position they
will be oiled upon to adopt on some
of the great issues and particularly
the question of dealing with the rail
roads.
The announcement of Dr. Hugh H.
Toung of Johns Hopkins university
- that Mr. Wilson is able to return to
active duty is studied in its political
significance because it means that
the White House will again guide the
destinies of the democratic party for
better or worse, and shape the pol
icies which have been running wildly
at cross purposes for some time be
cause of a many-headed government.
What Mr. Wilson does as the out
come of tomorrow's conference with
the railroad men may have an im
portant part in the national campaign
which will soon be under way. It will
be recalled that it was such a con
ference in September, 1916, which re
sulted in the Adamson law that saved
the election for the democratic party,
but which has come back many times
to mock the administration that
framed it. ...
Leaders Seek Policy Light,
Democratic leaders are growing
anxious to know whether their party
is going to be radical or semi-con
servative in the campaign which must
soon be undertaken. Up to the time
that Mr. Wilson went to the peace
conference, his party subalterns had
learned to play the radical side of
most issues. Their chief went to Eu
rope and came back much sobered, to
the extent that he told the railroad
brotherhoods, who were just then
making their semi-annual threat to
strike, that "threats and undue in
sistence upon the interest of a single
class make settlement impossible."
Then later his attorney general
actually stood up for a while and
fought the United Mine workers when
that organization undertook to freeze
the people into forcing the mines to
grant a 60 per cent wage increase
and a six-hour, five-day week. All
this has caused party leaders to hesi
tate and wait for a new cue.
Just what will be the mood of Mr.
Wilson when he faces the railroad
men tomorrow is a query. There are j
evidences that the brotherhood rep
resell tatives are not approaching him
with the same Belf-assurance that
they went before him on the- other
occasion four years ago. Then they
told him coolly that they had come
to demand increased wages.
Workers Lone Arrogance.
This time they mention the high
cost of living and offer criticisms
of congress as a necessary part of
tomorrow's conference, being obvious-
ly afraid, according to common opin
ion, to approach the president now in
the same cold-blooded manner which
got results before. The fact that the
brotherhood officers mention the high
cost of living as entering into the dis
cussion is taken to indicate that they
are playing sale.
It is thought that they are making
it possible to back out of their strike
threats gracefully in case Mr. Wilson
renews his promise to reduce the cost
of living. It is no secret that the of
ficers of the railroad organizations
fear to call a general strike at this
time, suspecting that it might result
in the most drastic anti-strike legis
lation, which it doubtless would.
it me president aoes agree upon
any extreme action tomorrow the
most that could be expected of him
would be a promise to veto the rail
road bill Just passed and continue
government control for two years
longer or until the end of his admin
istration. Ko Strike Is Opinion.
But there will be no strike, many
observers seem to think today,-though
yesterday were confident that a strike
was coming within the week. The
white feather is seen in the side is
sues Injected by the brotherhood rep
resentatives today as already men
tioned.
And in connection with the an
nouncement of Dr. Young, today's
gossip carried Woodrow Wilson back
into the presidential contest. Many
could see nothing in the democratic
situation but a third term possibility.
I
Odds and ends of winter garments, but every one good, every one
worth much more than sale price, every one a real bargain to the one
who can use it. Look through this list you'll see the savings!

V. S. NAMES MEX TO ARRANGE
FOR RETURN OP DEAD.
France Also Expected to Appoint
Members of Commission Soon .

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. Definite
steps looking toward the return of

The appointments were made in ac
fcordance with an agreement with the
French government, concluded in Au
gust, 1918. providing for the creation
of the commission immediately after
the repatriation of all American
troops in France. The agreement au
thorized the commission "to examine
measures to be taken to insure, in con
formity with French laws and police
regulations regarding hygiene, the
return to America of American dead.
The French members of the commis
sion, the war department has been
advised, will be chosen soon.
The French government In the
opinion of state and war department
officials will be bound by the agree-:
ment to permit the return of the
bodies burled In France, although up

zone has been refused.
Ralph Hayes, assistant to the sec
retary of war, will sail for France
soon to arrange for the return of the
bodies interred in the rear areas. He
also will inspect sites for American
fields of honor, where the bodies or
soldiers whose nearest of kin desire
retention overseas, will receive a
permanent place of rest.
Initiation of steps looking toward
carrying out the agreement will elimi
nate the necessity for passage by
congress of a resolution directing the
return of the bodies. Chairman Pjorter
of the house foreign affairs commit
tee, said today.

SILK SHIPPING LIMITED
Less Than Carload Lots Not to Be
Handled by Railroads.
WASHINGTON, Feb! 12. Losses
through theft of silk from railroad
cars have forced amendments to the
consolidated rate classification which
prohibits transportation of that com
modity by freight in less than car
load lots after February 29, the rail
road administration announced to-
ight. While the reduction in freight
revenue by the order will be great,
the losses sustained by the roads
through payment of claims have ex
ceeded the freight charges several
times.
Hundreds of protests have reached
the railroad . administration against
the proposed change in classification
because the ruling will force all small
communities to obtain all shipments
of silk by express.

Nomination of Assistant Secretary
of State to Post Expected to
Go to Senate Soon.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. (By the
Associated Press.) President Wilson
is understood to have decided on the
appointment of William Phillips, as
sistant secretary of state, as minister
to The Netherlands.
The nomination of Mr. Phillips,
who will arrive in New York within
a few days after a trip to England,
is expected to be sent to the senate
soon, perhaps together with the nom
ination of Robert Underwood John
son of New York, recently selected as
ambassador to Italy.
Changes in the diplomatic service
since the ending of the war had lea
to numerous reports that Secretary
Phillips would be offered a foreign
post, the vacancies of minister to
China and ambassador to Italy being
mentioned.
The legation at The Hague has
been without a minister since last
October, when John W. Garrett of
Baltimore resigned.
When the .democratic administra
tion came into power in 1913, Mr.
Phillips, although a republican in
politics, was asked to accept the of'
fice of third assistant secretary of
state, owing to experience in diplo
matic matters. JJe was made first
assistant secretary when Frank L.
Polk was promoted to counsellor.
Secretary Phillips, who is a native
of Massachusetts, entered the diplo
matic service 15 years ago as second
secretary of the legation at Peking.

ROME, Feb. 12. The newspapers

Marconi, the inventor of wireless
telegraphy, which says that the
United States heads the list of all
countries in wireless inventions., her
inventors naving surpassed an otners
in producing practical apparatus for
transmission of the human voice
through electric waves.
"A strange phenomena is that the
most progressive countries of western
Europe have not yet developed wire
less telephones, while China, the most
backward nation, daily uses the wire
less telephone for communication be
tween cities and the rural districts."
Signor Marconi says.
"Within this year wireless tele
phones will substitute the present
clumsy system with great economic
advantage, suppressing the cost of
the telephone lines and their upkeep.
They will also do away with the in
terruptions due to atmospheric
causes."
