BRITISH SOIL
Invasion Of England Hinted in
Recent Speech of Lloyd
George; Preparations for
Move Once Completed.

London, Dec. 16.--(Special Cable
to The Bee. .)-The Evening Star to-
day, on its front page, suggests that
Premier Lloyd George, speech last
night limited at an invasion of Eng
land. ~
The Star says:
Lloyd George warned against new
contingencies against which precau-
tions must be taken. The German at
tack on the west front is ruled out
because that possibility already has
been considered by the prime min
lister. Moreover, such an enterprise
has been self-advertised.
There remain two principal pro-
jects: An onslaught on the Saloniki
armies and all attempted invasion OF
England. As for an invasion Of this
country, it is known that in the
autumn Of 1910 the headquarters
staff had ,yeything in readiness for
the kaiser to press the button, but
he didn't press it. The enterprise
could hardly have success, in the
sense of establishing permanent
front on British soil, but it might
seem to the kaiser worth sacrificing
some tens of thousands OF fighting
men,"

GARFIELD TAKES
DRASTIC STEPS
IN COAL CRISIS
Sixty Carloads Of Fuel Start
for Cleveland, Where 1W,-
600 Men Are Idle; To
Supply Homes First.

Washington, Dec. 16.--Reports OF
almost nationwide suffering due to
lack of coal stirred fuel administration

release supplies held OH tracks by car

Orders wen, forth TO fuel admlni-
stralion representatives in the middle
west to make every attempt to move
coal to points declared to be facing
coal famines. A. w. Thompson, chair
man of the operating committee OF
eastern railroads, was called into con-
ference by Fuel Administrator Gar
field for suggestions.
Tonight DR.. Garfield named {. K.
Moriarity- of Cleveland, general di.
rector OF the Middle Western Coal
Shippers Terminal Pool association,
and gave him full powers and au-
thority to supervise transportation.
Mr.. Moriarity will wQk with Homer
Johnson, federal fuel administrator for
Ohio, and w. X. Prudden, admin
strator for Michigan.
After his conference with DR.. Gar
field Mr.. Thompson said the situation
was serious, but that his committee
was making great progress towards
reli wing congestion in the Pittsburgh
terminal territory. The full effect OF
the committees efforts, he said, would
not become apparent for several days.
Coal for Cleveland.
Fuel Administrator Johnson re-
ported from Cleveland tonight that he
had started 90 car loads of coal into
that city where 100000 men were idle
today. /Mr. Johnson, who has been
given full powers in the matter OF
distribution, said he would supply
householders first, even if it forced
industries to close down.
"If >the weather stays severe" he
telegraphed, my opinion is that all
industries, No matter how important,
hcxcept i'll case Of vital importance for
| keeping a plant warm or maintaining
refrigeration or something OF that
sort, should give way to DOMESTIC
needs. The miners are not loading
and the emergency will become graver

available to domestic consumers and

statement Of CASTOR Means that she
shot herself accidentally. 1t was not

OPPOSE ASSEMBLY,.
The meetings OF almost all units
of the Petrograd garrison have sided
with the peoples commissioners ane
the soldiers and workmen's delegates
against the constituent assembly in
the form originally issued. Three Cos
sack regiments quarters in Petrograd
have been ordered to send detaeh-
ments against General Kaledines.
The Isviestia, organ of the soldiers
and workmen's delegates, says that
the maximalists, socialists and social
ist revolutionaries of the Right must
be classed with the Right parties AND
the counter revolutionaries.
Since the election Of members OF
the Constituent assembly from Tau
rida Palace by armed sailors, attempts
to meet there have been abandoned.
The Bolsheviki Red Guards broke up
a meeting for the defense of the con-
stitutent assembly and made 40 ar
rests. Unruly scenes in the peasants
congress have followed clashes be-
tween the supporters and opponents
of the constituent assembly.
The destruction of wine stores in
Petrograd continues, accompanied by
orgies and shooting. ... ...
Reds Gain Upper Hand.
Partial, If not. complete, collapse OF
the counter revolution in Russia is
indicated in an announcement from
the Petrograd official news agency.
which says tho Bolsheviki have cap
tured three important cities i'll the
Don Cossack territory and that Gen
eral Kaledines, leader of the Don
Cossacks, has been arrested, appat-
entity by his own generals.
With General Kornnoff reported
defeated and wounded near Bielgorod
and General Kaledines under arrest,
the only one left of the counter
revolutionary triumvirate of military
leaders is General Dutof, hetman OF
the Ural Cossacks, who has been
operating in the' province OF Ofep-
burg. '
Peace Proceedings Go Forward.
The Russo-G German peace negotia-
tions are reported proceeding apace.
A German official announcement says
, the conditions and draft of treaty"
have been formulated, the discussions
having been put over from Friday to
Saturday, however, as the Russian
delegates desired to obtain supple
mentary instructions from their gov
ernment. Whether the word treat"
refers to a formal peace treaty or
merely 10 the armistice agreement
that had been pending is not clear
from the German announcement
This is the first intimation that the
Russian and German delegates have
carried their deliberations further
than the consideration OF Van
armistice, although a Petrograd dis
patch yesterday quoted Leon
Trotzky, Bolsheviki foreign minister
the effect that if an armistrice should
be signed the Russian delegates
would have the power to enter into
peace negotiations.
