LENINE DEALS WITH BOCHES
Germans Accept Bolshevlkl Proposal
of Armistice Signs of Collapse of
Radical "Government" Ital
ian Crisis Considered Over
Supreme War Coun
cil for United States.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
The great Interallied war conference
opened In Paris on Thursday and the
world Is Justified In expecting momen
tous results from it, though they may
not bo Immediately evident.
Aside from the question of unified
control of tho war, one of the most
Importunt matters considered by the
conference, of course, was the Russian
situation. This was rapidly moving
to n clltpux, for during the week the
representatives of the bolshevlkl gov
ernment crossed over to the German
side and made their proposition of nn
armistice on nil fronts of the belliger
ent countries. Since this plnn coin
cides with Germany's desires and
doubtless was Inspired by her, the
German authorities ncccpted the sug
gestion nnd set December 2 for u con
ference on the subject. Meanwhile
members of the German general stuff
were In Pctrogrnd advising Lenlne nnd
Trotzky.
The conference In Pnris took under
consideration tho Issunnce of n "rea
soned statement for the guidance nnd
wnmlng of the Russians as to the
serious results that nro likely to fol
low If a separate peace Is concluded,"
to quote the conservative language of
Lord Robert Cecil. This means noth
ing less thnn that the Petrogrnd rad
icals, nnd Russia If they nre able to
Impose their will on the country, will
be recognized ns enemies of the allied
nations. The ambassadors of the ut
iles and of the United States were
said to be waiting for the meeting of
' tho Russian constituent assembly,
elections for which were held last
week though' tho results were not
known nt the time of writing.
Hope In Southeastern Russia.
There are growing indications that,
when tho froth and spume of tho pres
ent bolshevlkl revolution In Russia
huve blown away, the original revolu
tionists of last March, men like Mil
youkoff, who hnvo brains and experi
ence as well as Ideals, will come to
the surface again nnd regain a control
that may savo their distracted coun
try from the talons of the Prussian
eagle.
Tho beginning of the end for Lenine
was reported to lmvo come on Friday,
when, according to dispatches from
Petrogrnd, his cabinet was succeeded
by a coalition ministry of advanced
Socialists nnd other factions, with tho
Iiolshevlkl In the minority.
Despite tho fact that tho second and
fifth armies last week gave their ad
herence to tho Bolshevlkl "govern
ment," Lenlne nnd Trotzky have
shown no slightest evidence of
their ability to rulo Russia, and
whether or not they bo knowingly
agents of Germany, their actions aro
all for the benefit of tho central pow
ers. If the armistice they ask for
were followed by the kind of peace
they advocate, Russia would lie open
to Germany as a ripe Held for merci
less exploitation nnd tho Germans
would gain infinitely more than they
possibly " would lose In western Eu
rope. The hopefulness In the situation lies
far away from Petrogrnd. A great or
ganization known as the Southeastern
union has been formed, embracing the
Don territory, most of Little Russia,
the lower Volga region nnd Turkestan.
This Is the great grain-growing part of
Russia, tho territory that feeds the
rest, and steps arc being taken to add
to tho union the corn-producing part
of Siberia. In ull this territory, rough
ly speaking, General Knledlucs, hot
man of the Gossucks, Is In control, und
he, In turn, is controlled by leaders
vivV?AvA.tfA;XA',X$XN- wiw r .
who have not yielded to the dictation
of Lenlne and his bolshevlklsts. More
over, the immense gold reserve of the
Russian empire, which was removed
from Petrogrnd to the Kremlin In 11113,
has been taken still further Into the
Interior nnd Is out of the reach of the
mnxlmnllsts. Whether Kalcdlnes nnd
the Cossacks will chose to support the
social democrats or will aid In a res
toration of the monarchy Is not clear.
Hut sane friends of order, democracy
and freedom feel that anything would
be better thnn tho reign of annrchy
nnd civil war that threatens Russia
now.
The soldiers who remain nt the
front nre walling bitterly because of
the shortage of food, and there Is u
fine prospect of hundreds of thousands
of these lighting men turning back In
to their country half-starved nnd
ready to pillage and ravage It without
restraint.
Italy's Danger Lessened.
The heroic Italian troops having
demonstrated their ability to hold back
nbout four times as many Teutons
along the Plave front, the fears of a
more extended Invasion of Italy and
of the capture of Venice aro lessening.
During the week great numbers of re
enforcements arrived from the British
and French armies on the west front,
many of- them having marched eight
days through the mountains. They
brought with them ample artillery und
supplies. Italian reserves In great
masses, young, well-equipped and full
of spirit, also moved north to relieve
those who have been combating the
Invaders, and In some places the Ital
ians took the offensive. The fighting,
especially between tho Plave und the
Hrcntn, continued fierce and uuubutcd
throughout the week, and the losses
on both sides were heavy, but the Aus-tro-Gormnns
made no further gains.
Down toward the Adriatic they made
repented attempts to cross the river
and tho Hooded lands In pontoons, hut
were completely routed by the Italian
nrtlllery. As the week closed the situ
ation In Italy was still serious, but Im
proving ench day.
Gen. F. IJ. Maurice, chief director
of military operations In the Hrltlsh
war ofllce, was especially well satis-
fled with tho week's developments in
Italy. From the fact that Germany
had not brought up vast re-enforcements
to follow up the Initial success
with n decisive blow, he concluded
that Germany was unable to send
them. It Is now time, he declared,
to say definitely that the crisis in
Italy hns passed, this being due en
tirely to the efforts of tho Italian
army. "Anglo-French troops aro now
available In sufficient quantities to
satisfy us that the situation is se
cure," he concluded.
Hard Fighting Around Cambral.
The war has seen no more desperate
fighting than has followed on the heels
of General Byng's sensational thrust
toward Cambral. Crown Prince Rup
prccht seemed determined not to let
that city full lulu the hands of the
British, or at least to make It a costly
prize, and his constantly re-enforced
troops were sent against the British
In Bourlon wood ngnln and again and
In tho village of Fontaine, which
changed hands several times. Byng's
men held on tenaciously and usually
had the best of It in the hand-to-hand
fighting as well as In the artillery com
bats, and the tanks continued to play
their part. Theso monsters often
cleared the way for the Infantry, and
In at least one Instance, when they
were themselves held up by superior
forces, the British airmen, Hying dar
ingly low, routed the enemy with ma
chine gun fire nnd permitted tho tanks
to go on. Altogether, It hns been the
most spectneulur buttlo of the war, and
It has cost the Germans n great many
of their best men,
General Byng last week seemed to
be endeavoring to brenk through to the
north of Cambral, a movement that
probably would compel the enemy to
fall back on h wldo front. Cambral It
self seems doomed to destruction.
General Pershing last week sent
over his second casualty list. It gave
tho names of two privates who were
killed in tho trenches by German ar
tillery llro nnd of tlvo severely
wounded. v

wns taken In the appointment of n su
perior war council thiough which all
the war nctMtles of the government
will be enabled to work together. This
council Is made up of the members of
the council of national defense Secre
taries Baker, Daniels, Lane, Houston,
Ri'dlleld nnd Wilson Secretary Mc
Adoo, Chairman Hurley of the ship
ping board, Food Administrator Hoov
er, Fuel Administrator Garlleld nnd
Chairman Wlllard of the war Indus
trios board. Director Gilford of the
council of national defense will sit
with this superior council, nnd Presi
dent Wilson will meet with It when
ever he thinks It ndvlsable.
The government Is making a deter
mined effort to settle the troubles of
the railways and Its own problems In
the matter of transportation, and Just
now the plan of a railroad pool for nil
lines east of Chicago is being tried out.
If this Is not successful, It Is predict
ed, the government may take over the
operation of all American railways.
President Wilson proclaimed a new
embargo on the importation of many
articles that arc essentials of muni
tions of war, without tho, express .per
mission of the government. This will
operate to conserve American tonnngt
for war purposes and to facilitate tin
Importation of raw materials nnd oth
er supplies necessary In the manufac
ture of munitions. This assumption
of control over Imports, provided foi
In the embargo act, gives the govern
ment n powerful weapon for the eco
nomic war on Germany nnd can be
directed nlso against neutral traders
suspected of supplying the central
powers with American goods.
President Wilson on Monday ap
proved n recommendation of Mr.
Hoover reducing the alcoholic content
of beer to 3 per cent nnd reducing the
nmount of grain used by brewers to
about 70 per cent of the volume hither
to consumed. Prohibition of all brew
ing, the administration believes, would
divert tipplers from the comparatively
harmless beer to tho consumption of
whisky, brandy nnd gin, of which there
Is In the country enough to Inst sevo
eral years.
No War on Austria Yet.
Vigorous enforcement of the orders
restricting enemy aliens made things
rather lively last week for German
residents, especially of the large cities.
But the hope that the administration
would make enslcr the checking of es
pionage by having congress declare
war on Austria went glimmering. For
reasons which could not be made pub
lic, President Wilson and his cabinet
agreed that no declaration against the
dual monnrchy should be mndo unless
It commits some further especially
hostile nets. The president pointed out
the fact that the enemy alien law could
be amended to Include the subjects of
countries allied with Germany, as was
done in the trading with the enemy
act, and Attorney General Gregory at
onco began the preparation of such nn
amendment.
Vatican Replies to Critics.
Unusually bold criticism of the
course of the Vatican by a number of
papers, and assertions that the pope
had been fostering the cause of Aus
tria, had been fur frum neutral uud
should be called on to make his posi
tion clear, brought forth Indignant de
nial from Cardinal Gasparrl, papal
secretary of state. Said ho: "To say
that his holiness favors, or has fa
vored, or will favor nn unjust, un
christian, and unendurable peace Is
not only false but also absurd. Any
propaganda for such a peace, alleged
to be conducted nt tho Vatican's In
spiration, especially in certain nations,
Is tho product of pure maliciousness."
He asserted that tho disruptive
propaganda that began to affect the
morale of tho Italian army could not
be laid at the doors of tho Vatican,
und that "tho shoulders on which
rests tho responsibility for the re
verses arc well-known, n responsibility
which certainly docs not touch Cath
olics, the clergy and least of all the
august person of the sovereign pon
tiff." His eminence made no reference to
the Sinn Fein rebellion In Ireland.
One of tho first matters taken up by
tho interallied conference in Paris was
tho need of speedy diplomatic action
in regard to Switzerland, where Ger
man Intrigue Is Imperiling tho neu
trality of tho country and gaining eco
nomlcal domlnntlon through control of
tho Swiss railways. The Swiss federal
council is becoming anxious over Ger
man military movements on the fron
tier. "

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected
An examining physician for one of the
? imminent life-insurance companies, in an
ntervlcw of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants lor insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to tho American people, and the largo
majority of those whoso applications are
declined do not even suspect that tbey
have the disease.
