SPECIALISTS TO
)ECIDE QUESTIONS
FOR DELEGATES
_
Vill Prepare American View
on Big Problems Before
Conference
By Associated Press
Paris, Jan. 23. The American
eace commission is depending up
n its specialists in international law
>r the preparation of the American
lew of important questions raised
i the agenda adopted by the peace
onferonce Saturday. These age, first,
ssponsibility for the war, and, sec
nd, the framing of a policy of ln
srnational co-operation in leglsla
on directed towards, the interests
f labor.
Wide differences exist at present
egarding the first question, par
eularly as to the responsibility of
tdividuals, rather than of govern
tents. for the war, and likewise
lolatlon of the rules of war by the
entral powers.
It is believed to be by no means
ertain that the American delegates
re willing to accept the views of the
'rench legal authorities quoted by
'rentier Clentenceau respecting the
ersonal responsibility of the former
•erman Emperor and his generals
t the absence of precedents and un
-1 there is a clearer understand
ig of the limitations within which
acli a doctrine can be exercised.
There is a possibility that recom
mendations upon labor will be with
old until opportunity is afforded
a study the developments of the
erne labor congress.

Absorption by Pennsv May
Mean Shakeup Among
Officials
By Associated Press
Chontbersburg, Fa., Jan. 23. An
nouncement last night that the Penn
j sylvanla Railroad Company had ab-
I sorbed the Cumberland Valley rail
' road came as no surprise to officials
here who were acquainted with the
j development toward the merger in
[the past several years. Just what
.changes among officials and how fhe
road will be operated was the prln
j cipal point of discussion among rall
j road irien hero to-day.
I M. C. Kennedy, the president of
> tho Cumberland Valley, and who
has just returned from Europe, will
; become an officer of the Pennsylva
| nift railroad under the new change.
| The line will probably be operated
; as a division. He would then become
! a superintendent or a general su
j perlntendent, it is believed. But just
i what other changes will be made was
I not known here to-day.
j Some of the railroad men express
i ed the opinion that many of the of
| fices will be transferred to Philadel
phia, and only those necessary to
operate the line as a division, will
be maintained here.
The absorportion of the line will
bo accomplished by transferring to
the Pennsylvania the property and
franchises of the last named com
pany.
The main line of the Cumberland
Valley extends from Ilarrisburg. Pa.,
to Winchester, Va., a distance of 115
miles. Including branches the com
pany operates 164 miles of line.
