TRANSPORTATION INQUIRY OPENS Railroad Official! and State Oommiisionerg Maneuver to Avoid Appearing First, NEWLANDS MAKES SPEECH Washington, Nov. 20. The first session today ol tne joint congres sional committee investigating the broad subject of transportation, de veloped into a preliminary meeting at which Chairman Newlands made a general statement of the purposes of the investigstion and practically all th prospective witnesses msneuvered to avoid appearing first, Each wanted the other to take the lead he- cause, all said, they wanted to avoid having their plans prejudiced.. J he railways wer not reaay io go on, and ths state railway commis sioners said tney preierrea not to oe heard until th first week in Decem ber. Senator Francis G. Newlands of Ne vada, the chairman, explained that the inquiry would cover a wide field. He said: "It will relate to every phase or the transportation question, ths rail carriers, the river carriers Sod the' ocean carriers, and the perfection of a hsrmonious system ol transportation embracing rail, river and ocean1 car riers tnst win meet tne aemanos oi interstate, ss well as foreign com merce, and it will also be applied to telegraph and telephone lines, express companies and other public utilities. "it will embrac not only tn suo ect of government control and regu atlon of these utilities, but' also the wisdom and feasibility of government Ownership and th comparative worth ana efficiency of government regula tion and control, as compared with government ownership and opera tion. ",' Senator Newlands said that a con elusion will b more quicky arrived at "if we have the sympathetic aid Of practical men who for years have been conversant with the ' practical side of th transportation question of the economists and BublicistS. ol railway executives and workers, of commercial bodies, farmers and man ufacturers and Shippers generally. Referring to government! own' thin, he Said: -.!' nt it a question that bust be faced. Other nations far advanced in civilisation have adopted the system. Recently, under th stress of war, si- most an governments nave tsasn over th railways. ' It demonstrates that in conditions of great crises when auto cratic powers must appeal to the gov ernments all intelligent governments drift toward absolute and complete operation of th roads as th only solution ol the question. -. . it we pursue tn exercise ana tne study of government regulation wise ly, persistently ana energetically, we may create auch a system of, regula tion as will meet every requirement, both in time of peace: and of war and In exurencv or crisis. But It seems to be a wise thing for the government to ascertain now tne history ot tne eountries that have adopted govern-' ment ownership and operation of rail roads and to watch the experiences of th European countries in this great war in this regard. "In this connection will com tne question of th method ot taking over the railroada. Shall It be accom plished by an actual valuation of th railways and a condemnation ot tnem, or shall they be taken over by th easier mctnoo. ot MKing over ' in stocks and bonds at their market value, thus at one step having the national government take the position ot stockholder and security holder in these great corporations " Special Memorial Service ' JS atsl IBS a i-or uin wno was urownea Miss Ruth Morris, the girl who was drowned in the Missouri river several weeks sgo Sunday when a eano cap sized, will b commemorated in a special memorial service at th First Christian church at 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon, Th Morris home i at 2419 Laurel avenue.

THE BEE: FOOD CONTROL IN ENCLANDWELCOfflE All Classes of People Seem to Take Well to the Idea Being Worked Up. WORKMEN'S BEER SACKED London, Nov. 20. No other gov ernment action In Great Britain dur ing the war has commanded such im mediate and almost unanimous sup port as has the decision to control food supplies snd prices. Virtually the entire press welcomes the scheme Almost the only criticism expressed is that the authorities should have taken charge of the nation's food supply long ago. ...... The dtrheultles ot tne handling sucn a vast and complicated prooiem in a country unused to paternalistic methods are not underestimated. Arrangements sre being made be tween the Board of Trad and th Board of Agriculture for controlling the prices of stocks. The distribution of the most important commodities, corn, meat and potatoes, is slready partly regulated, as also is that of sugar. ' Considered for Post The most probable appointment to the position of food controller is con sidered to D Mr ueorge saumarsn, the government's chief adviser on corn supplies;' or Baron Devonport, chairman of th port authority of London. One of the troublesome features of the situation isjiow to equalize mat ters between the rich and the poor. On the theory of "equality pf sacrl Sce for all," which is a popular war watchword, the newspapers ar mak ing a sensation of luxurious menus In fashionable restaurants and homes. The limitation of restaurant meals to three courses is to be discussed Wednesday to divise economies. To tha casual observer there are no signs of food shortage. Th variety and quantity of eatables in the shop and restaurants appears undiminished, but the big markets tell a different story. It stilt is possible to get a good dinner or 1 lunch : In London cheaper than it eould b obtained In New fork beiore tne war, in poorer housekeeper who buy in smsil quantities teei tn pincn, since the general retail prices average nearly 70 per cent higher. The lovernmeht has to deal on th one hand with increased consumption aue parity to tne newer scaic oi living practiced by a large section of the people getting unusual wages from war work, ana on th other hand with decreased import and decreased home production. ' In the meantime "the workman's beer" remains almost saered. Notice has been given by t small group of members of the House of Commons that they will press for prohibition of the manufacture of alcoholic bever ages, but this ha excited, no popular response. i. i r British Seek Recruits Among the Egyptians feertlh, Novto-iBy Wireless to Sayvill.)

Interest in the London), Nov. 19. Interest In the announcement that President Wilson intends taking concrete action in be half of peace, continues unabated, though in many Austrian circles the view is held that the attitude of the entente powers wilt render Mr. Wil son's good offices futile. As the matter stands certain gov ernmental circle hold that little can be gained by declaring a readiness to meet the entente on a peace pre liminary so long as the entente has failed to indicate that it would be content with much less than shown in the recent speeches made in Lon don, It is felt by Austrian officials that the acceptance of an invitation for such a conference with the entente holding out for a program which is little short of the total annihilation of the central powers and their allies would be equal to acknowledging that fhe central powers Were ready to secure peace on any terms. See No Basis for Talk. Washington, " Nov, 19. It is as, sumed In official circles here - that Austrian discussion of a move in be half of peace by President Wilson is based upon some unfounded rumor reaching Vienna. The president has not changed his opinion that ' any action by him, at the present stage of th European conflict ' would be futile unless the belligerents Indicated that it would be welcome. tlail Carriers to Talk Over H, 0, L, 'William Maher, Omaha member of th 'National Letter Carriers' associa tion, will leave for Washington, D.

REAL GOAL NOT ATTAINED Berlin, Nov. 20. (By Wireless to Ssyville.) The military critic of the Overseas News agency writes: "The great thrust on the Somme has come to a standstill. Last week the general battle was split into isolated attacks. The small local successes of the enemy could not be developed, and for the most part were nullified by counter attacks. The fact that for sev-J eral weeks the same villages have been mentioned again and again in the official . German reports and those of the entente is the best proof that the general battle on the Somme has come to a standstill, and that the British, as well as the French, are limited to improving their positions. "Although the British won small local successses near Grandcourt and the Germans were again driven from Serre. the coveted hciirhts of Serre remained in German hands after a des perate battle. "Three fresh army corps were brought up by the British for the great attack of November 13-14, the objective of which was not merely Beaumont-Hamcl and Beaucourt, but Bapaume, as is proved by orders that were received. After the failure of the mass thrusts, isolated attacks were continued by the British all through the week. These were without suc cess, ana on Saturday the British agai the ain made an attack on both sides of Ancre. "This new attempt to break through our lines was a failure. On the twelve kilometer front the enemy was re pulsed almost everywhere and his insignificant successes at some places required the heaviest sacrifices. Local Success at the bend of the Ancre was paid for by the British with losses elsewhere on the front. "The Butte de Warlencourt, a hill v,hich bars the road to Bapaume, which was eaptured by the British on November 14, at the expense of enormous sacrifices, was recaptured by the Germans on November 16. A surprise attack was made by the Ger mans without artillery preparation and th opposing troops fled, Only two non-commissioned officers and seventeen men eould be captured, The prisoners bore no arms. They were Australians who were most weary of war and they declared that all th Australian troops on the Somme front were kept up only by the hop of speedy relief. "Isolated attacks by the French were equally unsuccessful. Near St, Pierre Vaast wood a French attack broke down with heavy losses grid near f ressolre little was gained."

TEST LASTS TWO WEEKS Chicago, Nov, 20. Six men and six women employes of the city health department ate their Thanksgiving dinners here today and then gave their solemn words to eat nothing for two weeks, but the scientific diet pro vided by a public economy commis sion. They will attempt to demon strste the theories of the commission that the high cost of living is due m a great degree to the apparent will ingness of the public to pay any price demanded for its luxuries and that the public's health as well as its purse would be improved by an intelligent diet. John Dill Robertson, health com missioner, says he expects to feed the twelve for $20 a week or at a trifle more than 8 cents a meal. The squad will weigh in at 8:30 to morrow morning. Their weight will be carefully watched each day of the two weeks. They will be given three carefully prepared meals each day and will be expected to do their regular work,' and will be permitted, to drink only water between meals. A big commission merchant, who admitted he had profited by high prices todajr, attributed the increase to the supine public. "In former years, If a housewife was asked to pay 40 cents a poujid for butter," he said, "she revolted and used a cheaper substitute. This year she pays 50 cents. "It has gotten to be a joke. A seller will offer a lot of butter or eggs at a certain price, feeling that no one will, be foolish enough to pay that high, and the first thing be knows his offerings are accepted.'

President Wilson's second inauguration prob ably will be comparatively simple. He is known to desire that there should be as little ceremony as possible. It is accepted as certain by officials that there will be no inaugural ball In addition to the president's op position to elaborate ceremony at his inauguration in 1913, officials point to the recent death of his sister, Mrs. Anne Howe, the fact that March 4 fall on Sunday next year, and the prospect that the European war will still be in progress next March as reasons why the next inaugural exercises will be as simple as possible. Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluice of the syatem each morning and wash away th poisonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. We should drink, before bbcalfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous dsy's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully Invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very tittle at th drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with biliou ness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real ejunustasi on tne subject of Internal sanitation. Iry it and you are assured that you wijl look better and feel better in every way shortly. .vavernsement.
