LONDON, Dec 5. (British Wire
less Service) The political situa
tion in Germany continues to be ex
traordinarily obscure, says the Am
"terdxm correspondent of the t)ally
Kxpress. Everybody seems to be
quarreling with everybody else and
every member of the socialist party
' trying to undo his comrades In
the fervor of his republicanism.
Two grave dangers, the corre.
pondent declares, appear to be con
fronting the new German republic.
One is the separatist movement
headed by Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian
leader, who is issuing propaganda
aralnst the leadership of Berlin and
appears t0 lie willing to create a
south Oerman republic, including
Havana. Wurttemburg, Saxony and
several other states. The other dan
ger which the correspondent adds Is
equally pressing is that arising from
the quarrel between the Berlin mil
itary soviet with its majority of ex
tremists and bolshevik and the Ber
lin executive committee.
'The whole situation indeed Is
chaotic."
The correspondent continues, "and
f this chaos the extremists natural-
'y are making capital. The republic
an government is not even able to
aettle the question of summoning
trie (lerman electorate for the elec
tions to the national assembly. It is
announced that the election will take
Place February 16 and it will extend
to the whole German territory as It
"listed August 1. 1914, which is
rcical. as no election to the reich
tag ever can take place again in
Aliiace-ljiraine.
"On the other hand, the govern
ment urges the allies to bring about
preliminary peace some time in
January and before Germany has a
real responsible government. Tho
"hole Herman political situation is
characterized by similar contradic
tions. The Germans want the allies
" treat them as an orderly govern
while they give every sign of
pearly shipwreck in anarchy.."

all that could be done was to pro
tect the surrounding property, which
was threatened. Several railroad cars
were ablaxe, but they were quickly
removed with llttls loss resulting,
after the flames being extinguished
by the Frisco fire apparatus.
The compress was built IS years
ago by James kt Hoyrt. Its destruc
tion leaves the compress at Stroud
the nearest to this city. Fully one
third of the cotton ginned this year
at the Hapulpa compress was burned.
The flames are still smouldering and
art closely watched by the firemen.

WASHINGTON, Deo. t.K new
director general of railroads to suc
ceed William a. McAdoo may not
be named for two weeks or more. It
was said today. The resignation of
Robert 8. Dovett, aa director of, the
railroad administration'! division of
capital expenditures, was announced
today, and his Insistence on going
back to his old duties aa chairman
of the executive committee of the
Union Pacific, was considered a
having left Mr. McAdoo without a
candidate Immediately at hand to
recommend to President Wilson. It
was stated authoritatively that the
director general la now looking about
for men whom he may propose, and
It Is considered probable that some
one outside the railroad admlnlatra
tlon staff will be obosen.
Mr. McAdoo today conferred with
nis advisory slatr ot tns railroad aa
ministration concerning proposed
plans for supervising railroads when
they are turned back to private man
agement. Two differing plans are
understood to have developed among
his advisers. One proposal is to have
the railroads merge into regional
groups, with common operating
management tq start and eventually
to develop Into common ownership,
with the roads themselves selecting
their regional managements, in
which the government would be rep
resented. The other plan put forth is for the
roads to operute individually and pri
vately, competltlng for service, but
under the supervision of a govern
ment agency, to be known perhaps as
the department of transportation,
headed by ,i cabinet member. To this

PAKIS, Deo. t. Col. E, M. House,
one of the members, of the American

representing President Wilson ill
conferences here, now la fully con
versant with the decision taken by
the supreme war council at Its meet
ing in London, which Colonel House
was unable to attend on aocount of
illness.
Colonel House had a long confer

LONDON, Dec. . The substance
of the discussion in London early
this week between representatives ot
Oreat Britain, France apd Italy, wtth
regard to the coming peace confer
ence were cabled to the American
government and It Is believed the
messages reached President Wilson
bfore he sailed for Europe yesterday,
thus putting him tn possession of ful
information regarding the confer
ence. Renter's llinltci says there i
reason to believe the president's ad
visers are of the opinion that the
views of tho conference regarding
former Emperor William are likely
to coincide with those of the presi
dent himself. Responsible opinion.
says this news agency, holds that th
ex-emperor and o'her persons guilty
of breuches of Internationa! law dur
ing the progress of the war should
be dealt with by a tribunal of the
associated governments, im hiding
representatives of those countries'
which suffered most.
