CONDUCTORS STAND BACK OF NATION AT WAR Kr ' Legislative Board of Brother hood Opens Session Ilere l'lans for this year's activity by the Pennsylvania State Legislative Board, Order of Railway Conductors, will be | formulated this weeK. The fourth! biennial convention of this body opened to-day in Post 58 G. A. It. ! Hall. S. R. Tamer, chairman and i epresentative, is presiding. When | all members report it is expected there will be sixty present. The ses- j sions may continue until Friday. i Due to the fact that railroads are now under United States Government control, and to tlie belief that there will be no special railroad legislation; to look after next session, represcnta- 1 lives present at this convention were; unable to forecast a program.

In conclusion, he referred to the war now in progress and said in part: "The transportation problem is one that is of mighty coiicern to the Gov ernment, and to our organization. Our interests being with the rail roads, naturally we are interested in everything affecting their operation. ! but we must conline ourselves to but | one principle, and that is the princi . pie of national defense. There is no doubt but what we will be called | upon to make many sacrifices before this war is brought to a final victory, and I am sure that there is no class of men more loyal, more patriotic or more ready to bear their share of the ' liurden than those who man the trains I hat carry our products from one point to another, but we must be careful to see to it that we are not caused to suffer sacrifices unneces sarily. "Democracy is on trial. Autocracy, nionarchial boastfulness. the brute force of military despots, have chal lenged civilization; they have torn loose their gigantic engines of de struction; they have strewn the land with mangled bodies of brave men and made the landscape a vast area of wreckage and ruin. "This country has taken up the gauntlet. We have accepted the chal lenge In defiance of the war lords, that 'the world must be made safe for democracy.' "Therefore, the issue that presents Itself is. Shall the people rule, or must they continue to bow before the autocratic rule of military des pots? The answer is not far to seek. The people are growing more en lightened; they are beginning to re sist the autocratic rule of despotic rulers; higher and nobler ideals are slowly taking the place of imperial ism; democracy is growing stronger than autocracy; the rule, by and for the people Is surely supplanting the lule by divine right of kings. The ambitions and bloodthirsty war lords of Ktirope have recognized the on iushing tide of democracy and for the last fifty years have been pre paring to meet it. and to-day the whole civilized world stands aghast at their bloody deeds. They have launched our whole civilized structure into a sea of blood and murder, un precedented in all the annals of his tory. In their thirst for increased power, empire supremacy, territorial conquest and imperialistic rule, they have challenged the combined forces of democracy. "Slowly the people have advanced their ideals, through fire and sword, through the most abominable perse cutions and frightfulness, the peasant class have slowly fought their way and are now surely approaching the goal of democracy and freedom, a triumph of civilization. • "If the central powers are victori ous. democracy will have received its death blow, the progress of centuries will count for naught, and civiliza tion's countless heroes and martyrs will have died in vain. "In the name of God, is all the blood that has been shed by valient men, women and children, is all the blood that France has poured out on her battlefields, are all the sacrifices or Britain. Italy and Russia to be wasted? I love peace as much as any man on this earth, and I pray for peace, that we will make peace,— when? "When the army of the German empire is rolled back to Berlin: when from the fields and homes of France and Italy arise the cloud' of battle and we hear the shout of victory: when bleefling Belgium arises from her -desolation and cries, 'Glory! Glory!"; when we hear the voice of Poland shouting independence, when we hear by the right of self-determi nation, Siberia. Montenegro and all the races crying. Liberty! Liberty' through the wrath and the combined efforts of the forces of civilization."

NEW YORK AUTO SHOW A SUCCESS More Exhibits Than For i merly; Scarcity of Cars a / Possibility, Say Dealers (By ANTON BENSON) Even though New York is handi- j capped by a lightless Broadway, j meatless and wheatjess days, and j some heatless and trainless j tracks, the luster o£ the automobile | show at the Grand Central Palace j shone undiminished. In tact, the tx- , hibits were more brilliant than in any | preceding year and more of them. | The bright red, white and blue of the national emblem and service flags which predominated in the decorative scheme made the more re splendent than ever, combined with : the sheen of the new highly polished I ears, which had a greater variety I of beautiful colors than before. 'The' Hags of the Allies were included in | the ceiling effect and t.he uniforms of the European as well as American i military men were to be seen which- < ever way one turned. Even women who : have seen actual service "over there" ] as motorcycle messengers and ehauf l l feurfi in the Army were attired in serv ice uniforms with the shoulder straps | denoting their rank and medals j which bespoke special recognition conferred upon them. But there were no military suggestions in the types | of cars shown. All firms who are i doing government work do not care | to exploit the efficiency of those mod- i els for various reasons, some of which may be to prevent any possible spies from getting too much ready information. But t.he main reason is that the show of cars was to meet the demand of the civilian. There were few radical changes in mechanical construction in evidence. It was largely a display of body types, economy of construction by simpli fication and to perfect the car so as to reduce the operating expense. Manufacturers reported satisfactory sales and say that most of them 'are snowed under with orders. Com petent authorities in the motor world predict that there will be a scarcity of motorcars within a few months, due to the difficulties in obtaining necessary materials rather than through any problem of production capacity to keep pace with an ever increasing demand. According to these opinions from men of big af fairs in the motorcar world, then America's great automobile industry and associated interests will not suffer any reverses because of the world war but will continue a pros perous business throughout the year of 1918, the same as prevails in all other lines of industry. If the suc cess of the New York show is any criterion by which to judge the coni in llarrisburg show, then Central Pennsylvania's annual exhibit of mo torcars should be as successful as any preceding season. GIRL. IS ARRESTED More goods alleged to have been stolen by Raymond Randell* from the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Adams Express Company have been recov ered in Philadelphia. They are said j to have been found at the rooms of Randell. It is said the woman re ceived several trunks and helped in the disposition of some of the stolen goods. She will be given a hearing before Alderman Edward J. Ililton. SHOULDER IS FRAOTCRER B. K.

BREACH IN PARLEY ISNOW LIKELY [Continued from First Page.] butchering in which the horrors of Kronstadt were re-enacted. It is added that most of those killed were members of the committee which in 191J under the old regime held an inquiry into the rebellious Sailors' Revolutionary Union, which result ed in the execution of many sailors and the exile of others. Lcnine Back in Pctrograil Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevikl premier, is again back in Petrograd and is reported to be taking a more , important past in the negotiations. ; There is some dissatisfaction in Pet j rograd with the way in which For ; eign Minister Trotzky has conducted ! negotiations. Trotzky's campaign of I propaganda among the German sol i dic-rs is said to be growing in effcOt £>nd the German military authori ties are doing all in their power to check it. Meanwhile German political and | military leaders have been having ; hurried conferences in Berlin. The ; Crown Prince has returned to the 1 German capital and he, with Field ; Marshal Von Hindenburg, General : Yon Ludendorff and Chancellor Von ! Hertling, has conferred with the Em | peror. The recall by the Emperor I of the assistant to the German for ! eign secretary at the Brest-Litovsk j meeting indicates that the confer j ences may have had to do with the j peace negotiations, the conduct of | which has caused much political fu ror in Germany during the past two I weeks. Chancellor Von Hertling is expect ed to address the main committee of the Reichstag 011 Wednesday and probably will answer the recent war aim statement of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George. The basin of the Don river has been cleared of Cossack troops by Bolslieviki soldiers, according to an official announcement. The Bol sheviki are also said to have taken Eketrinoslav, a stronghold of the Ukraine. David R. Francis, the American ambassador to Russia, in a New Year's message to the Russian peo ple reminds them that a separate peace with Germany would rob them of the results of the revolu tion. President Wilson's message Is greeted with divided opinion by the leading Bolslieviki newspapers. Am bassador Francis says the message is the best greeting he can give Rus sia from America. Porter Is Endorsed by Dauphin County Bar Ass'n Members of the Dauphin County Bar Association gave endorsement to Superior Judge William D. Porter, of Pittsburgh, at tlielr quar terly meeting held here to-day, com mending him for "faithful and effi cient service" from the organization of that court td the present time. This action was in line with that taken by the bar of a number of other Central Pennsylvania counties. The resolutions adopted were as folows: "Whereas, the present term of of fice of the Honorable William D. Porter, of Allegheny county, as one of the judges of the superior court of Pennsylvania, will expire on the ilrst Monday of January ,1919; and "Whereas, the said Honorable William D. Porter is a candidate for re-election' to said office. "Now, therefore, the Dauphin County Bar Association assembled this 11th day of January, 1918, in is regular quarterly meeting, hav ing knowledge of the faithfill and efficient services rendered by the said Honorable William D. Porter throughout his distinguished career on the bench of the superior court, beginning with the organization of that court and extending down to the present time, and believing that the best interests of the administra tion of justice throughout the Com-' monwealth of Pennsylvania would j be served by his re-election, hereby endorses the candidacy of the said | Honorable William D. Porter fori said office and commends the same to the electors of this state." NEWPORT Archdeacon William Dorwart on Thursday attended the funeral of Dr. A. R.
