ENJOYS to Ignore Trotsky.
London, Nov. 2S.-The Times Petro-
grad correspondent says he has learn
ed from an authentic source that
there was meeting of the foreign
ambassadors at the American embas-
sy at which it was decided to ignore

vote, has adopted resolution approx

the Council of National Commission

Treaties Between U. S. and Al.
lied Countries Provides for
Military Service.
CONGRESS TO ACT SOON
Provisions for Reciprocal Drafting OF
Subject of One Country Who
Are Resident In An
other Country.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-When Con-
gress reconvenes Secretary Lansing
will be prepared to submit number
of treaties authorizing reciprocal
drafting for military service of citi-
zens or subjects of one country resi-
dent within the other country, so far
have negotiations between the United
States and the Allies on the alien
Stacker problem progressed.
Approval of such treaties by the
Senate has been foreshadowed by a
general demand on Congress for ac-
ton to reach aliens in this country
of draft age. Several measures had
been launched in the Senate and
House requiring drafting of such per-
sons, but at the suggestion of the
State department and upon its prom
ise to accomplish the purpose by regu-
lar method of treaty stipulation, that
legislation was postponed.
Many Seek to Escape.
In the meantime a great many for
eigners resident in the United States
have fastened to file their declara-
tions of intention to become American
citizens, in many instances with the
express purpose of escaping military
service under their own flags i'm event
of roundup of aliens in the United
States by British, French and Italian
recruiting officers.
BY filing these first papers the de-
clarent renders himself liable to draft
into the American army. There is only
one chance in four of his being actu-
ally drafted as an American, however,
even after registration.
Difference in Standards.
The British-American military serv-
Ice treaty will be framed as a model
for those between the United States
and other Allied countries, though
there will be some minor differences
because of varying laws fixing eligi-
bility for military service.

TO REDUCE BEER STRENGTH
Alcoholic Contents to Be Cut to Three
Per Cent.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Orders re-
ducing the alcoholic content of beer
to 3 per cent will be issued soon by
the food administration with the ap-
proval of President Wilson At the
same time the amount Of grain used
by brewers will be cut down approx
mately 30 per cent, although the vol
ume Of beer will not be decreased.
The food administration points out
that since there is In the country two
or three years supply of whisky 1t Is
undesirable at the present time to
stop entirely the brewing of beer,
because of the possibility OF driving
the people to whisky drinking. The
social question involved, it is de-
clared, must be given eQaal consid-
Grafton with that OF food conserva-
ton.
