TRAVEL
JAM
LOOKED
FOR
Increasingly
heavy
demands
on
the
western
lines
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
now
that
the
Pacific
war
Is
near
an
end
were
forecast
by
Osborne
Scott,
C.NjR.
passenger
traffic
manager,
Winnipeg,
in
an
interview
with
The
News
yesterday.
"The
situation
regarding
sleeping
car
accommodations
Is
bad
now,"
re
matked
Mr.
Scott.
"But
it's
bound
to
get
worse
before
It
gets
better
as
far
as
civilians
are
concerned."
Whereas
the
number
of
sleep
ers
on
each
eastbound
train
formerly
was
three,
only
one
is
op
erated
now,
he
went
on.
Very
heavy,
troop
movements
on
United
States
lines
have
caused
the
Americans
to
use
Canadian
railways
where
possible
and
this
will
be
greatly
felt
when
troops
from
the
Alaskan
Command
start
returning
home
in
large
numbers.
Mr.
Scott
was
accompanied
by
a
party
including
R.
K.
Mellon,
Llgonler,.
Penn.,
a
director
of
Pennsylvania
Railways,

Allies
Agreed
on
Terms
of
Reply
to
Appeal
for
Peace
Allies
Agreeable
to
Accepting'
Proposal
to
Preserve
Hirohito
Providing
He
Is
Kept
Under
Full
Subjection
WASHINGTON,
D.C.,
Aug.
11
(CP)
Great
Britain,
the
United
States,
Russia
and
China
have
reached
agreement
today
on
a
reply
to
Japan's
surrender
offer.
Replying
to
Japan
through
the
Swiss
government,
Secretary
of
State
Byrnes
said
the
United
States
would
accept
the
enemy's
proposal
if
the
Emperor
Is
made
subject
to
the
supreme
Allied
commander's
orders
and
adced
that
his
state-,
ment
also
represented
the
viewpoints
of
the
United
Kingdom,
Russia
and
China.
Another
condition
of
the
acceptance
is
that
government
in
Japan
Is
to
be
ultimately
established
In
accordance
with
the
"freely
expressed
will
of
the
Japanese
people."
This
language,
apparently,
did
not
offer
any
assurance
of
a
permanent
continuation
of
the
"Sun
God"
throne,
something
on
which
the
Japanese
people
them
selves
will
have
tiie
last
say.
The
note
said:
"The
Emperor
will
be
required
to
authorize
and
secure
the
signature
of
the
gov
ernment
of
Japan
and
Japanese
Imperial
general
headquarters
of
surrender
terms
necessary
to
carry
out
the
Potsdam
declara
tlons.
"The
Japanese

"The
armed
forces
of
the
Allied
powers
will
remain
in
Japan
until
the
purpose
set
forth
in
the
Potsdam
declaration
is
achieved."
Widespread
expectation
Is
that
the
war
with
Japan
will
be
over
In
a
relatively
few
days
and
that
the
Japanese,
fully
realizing
their
defeat,
will
surrender
unconditionally
in
line
with
the
terms
of
the
Potsdam
ultimatum.
An
American
will
be
named

Allied
commander-in-chief
to
receive
the
Japanese
surrender.
It
may
