"When wo received parcels from the Ited Cross or from home, they had to be censored by tho commander of the camp," said tho report. "If It appeared that Germany wag wlnnlnp. all our cigarettes vrero broken In two, syrup, coffeo and tea and all articles would bo opened and poured Into ono basin and mixed together. We mado reports to the, Red Cross of parcels lost which had been sent to Brandenburg. If any one made complaints about parcels they strafed' them and would hold them for A couple of weeks. This I took up with tho Spanish ambassador, but they never ceased spolllnc parcels for all nationali ties. The French were punished nioro than any other ally. "All tho medical treatment that was given to us war by the British lied Cross. If a mm w.s sick and saw the doctor, ho was looked at and told he was well and Rent to work again, but the Italian doctor and six Itusslan doc tors, also an American merchant doctor, would arrange so that those sick pa tients would be put Into a shed called a hospital.

"I believe that all the objects which I think must be achieved In order to obtain a permanent solution can be ac complished through tho creation of a comparatively few railroad companies, which will liavo capitalization equal only to tho real value of the property, nnd will have a moderate guaranteed return with the right to participate mod. cratoly In additional profits." Think Opinions Nun lllaxrd Discussing tho reasons for taking more t'mc for considering legislation, he said : "A very strong feeling prevails that this question is being pushed now by the railroad executives becausn they feel tho 'going' Is particularly good and that they had better make private manage ment hay whlln tho antlgovernment ownership sun continues to shine. I do not believe a holution In this f-plrlt Is going to batlsfy the public." So far as physical operations are con cerned, said the director general, there Is now no emergency that calls on the (government to continue control of the ",, " J. i raiiroaas lie explained that the methods adopted by the railroad admin istration during the war now are open to reconsideration In light of peace con dltlons. adding that this had been Mr. McAdoo's attitude.

Pre-war Intrastate rates could be set aside In favor of the present higher ones, .Mr, nines suggescen, "I would advise the President that any relinquishment made ought to bo on reasonable notice and In a duo and orderly manner.'1 Mr. Hlncs said. "I believe that, unless companies, through a mistaken policy, themselves create a needless state of alarm, a rea sonable and orderly transition back to private management could bo made In the next few months without additional legislation as well as it could be under any legislation that Is likely to bo ob tained. "I confess I can ee no reason what ever why this control (.hould continue simply for the purpose of protecting the railroads from an alleged chaotic condi tion."

It will protect security holders pend ing an ultimate solution. It will minimize thu danger of mak ing the railroad question a purely partisan Issue, to be considered In an Illogical manner, In tho presidential elections. I.Rlior's M'mei Not to Blame At present, said Mr. Hlnes, tho un fair Inference' Is drawn persistently that the heavy operating costs are. neces sarily due to Increased rates of wages, whereas they are largely .'due -lor war conditions.

Director Cencral Hlncs. earlier In the day, authorizes tlio following statement on railroad operating costs In January: Tho United States railroad administra tion made advances In January to and for tho account of various transporta tion systems to an aggregate of J9S. MD.808. This Includes both loans nnd advances on account of compensation to railroad i-orporatlons and advnncea made to the Federal managers or these prop erties to meet operating needs. These payments aggregated t6(,250,6'J!, Payments made during the month on account or the new standardized cars and engines amounted to 130,071,41. Payments to Inland waterways and canals amounted to t!l47,641. A total or '98.269.80S. Total Receipts f24,3.1.03' The' director general received rrom operating managements of the various railroad systems during January a total ot $13,996,455. From the express com panies he received In January $10,32".- 183. Uikne the total rcce Pis irom an transportation lines for the period $24, 323,638. The eces nf disbursements over re ceipts for January, 1919, was $73,946,170. The aggregate payments ana aavancen by the director general to the railroad corporations and Federal managers, ln eluding payments on standard equipment ordered, for the one year nnd one month ended January 31.1919. were $787,304,667, Of this amount the director general haa got back various loans made to different railroad companies for amounts aggre gating $57,030,000, leaving the net ad vances by the director general to Janu ary 31, 1919, $730,274,667. The United States railroad adminis tration also received up to January 31, 1919, surplus operating receipts of vari ous railroads aggregating $237,605,000 nd from the express companies a total Df $57,243,69?. The excess of all disbursements to and for account of transportation systems for the, period of one year fcnd one month to January 31, 1919, over receipts.
