BAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 14. It Is
not alone the soldiers of the nation
that fight, but the whole nation fights
and a very essential part of Amer
ica's fighting forces are the railroad
officials and employes, according to
a personal message from William O.
McAdoo director general of the rail
roads of the United States to ap-
proximately 300 officials and em
ployes of fourteen Pacific coast rail
roads meeting here tonight. V
Mr. McAdoo's message was ad
dressed to the Pacific railroad club
which was addressed by several
speakers of ,, note on the railroads'
participation In war activities, and
how they can assist in the more ef
ficient . prosecution of the . war.
"If our gallant sons who are fight
ing for America's sacred rights and
universal freedom are to be victori
ous they must be backed with all
the man power and resources of the
nation. This cannot be done unless
the railroads .of .the country func
tion la the most efficient manner."
Railroad Commissioner E. O. Cer
ton, who spoke on "the railroad
commission's part in winning the
war," said in part:
"It seems Ho me to be the clear
dut of the state railroad commis
sions to refrain from any ' attempt
to Inject Into the legislation now
pending before congress provisions

General McAdoo. The railroad bus

of obstacles under private ownership
and operation, when regulated by
the national government and by each

AMSTERDAM, Feb .t4.--The in

"Wilson, the prisoner," says:
; "They are talking to save their

Ihe toothless tiger In Paris. With

"It is impossible to take President
WHon seriously." 1
Assuming haughty contempt, this
newspaper proceeds to prove to Its
cwn satisfaction that President Wil
son failed in what it terms his thres
objects, namely, -to hearten the Drit
ifh with tales of inexhaustible Am
erican resources, to try and split
Germany and Austria-Hungary, and
to play off the reichstag majority
against tho military party.
"President Wilson has had no

Just been arrived at between Ger

The Dusseldorf Nachrichten- says:
"After reading the address we
have given up hope that 'our. Teaden
will be able to make bead or tail of

The only thing, clear is that
ty flattering Count Czernin (the
Austro-Hungarian foreign, minister)
he wants to isolate Germany and

TROTZKY AGAINST
UKRAINE TREATY
' t I I. I II Ml I
No Reconcilement of Views
Promised at Brest-Litovsk
j Meeting
amstkrdam; Feb, i 4. . The
stormy closing; scenes at Rrest
Lltovsk, February are described
In JBerlin telegrams received here.
Dr.; Von Kuehlmann, the German
foreign secretary, in summing up the
results of. the long dlscussjpns, said
that a .continuation ef the debates
appeared to promise no recencile
mest of the opposing views.
The Austro-Hungatlan foreign
minister agreed that a prolongation
of the discuss! on offered little pros
pect of agreement but suggested that
an "absolute agreement was not es
sential from the standpoint of a con
clusion of peace, and that some ter
ritorial and other matters might be
lett oen. .
Leon Trotzky,,, the Bolshevik for
eign minister, replied that from the
Russian standpoint.. the application
which the central powers wished to
give to the principle of self-determination
was equivalent to the re
jection of .this principle. Further dis
cussion on a barJs, therefore, was
hopeless. Trotiky also said that the
new western frontiers proposed tor
Russia must be condemned from the
viewpoint o,(, strategic considera
tions,.; 'i-', f . - r
Minister Trotsky protested at
length, against the central powers
concluding peace with the Kiev rada
(the anti-Bolshevik Ukraine govern
ment) , declaring that thlf manner
of procedure suggested doubt wheth
er f the central , powers dfsJred to
readh 'In understanding twlth 'the
government of federal: Russia, lie
declared that the treaty alleged "to
have been signed with the Kiev rada
could have no value whatever for the
Ukrainian people and the Russian
government. . Dr. Von Knehlmann
then proposed to entrust the question
of delimitation to a sub-commission
which would report the following
dajr.

unwarranted Interference in a mas
ter? of Internatioanal relations, fhe
handling of which rests with the
president and congress. The creation
of a boycott, as outlined by the Paris
conference of 1916. we believe to be
at variance with the sentiments ol
rresiaeni wiison, as siaieo in nis
address to congress on April 6, 1917.
"We are but the champions: of
mankind. We shall be satisfied
when these responsibilities have been
made as secure as the faith and

"In view of these facts, the action
