SHOULD RESTATE AIMS
Action Would Help Russ More Than
Anything EIse-MakIakoff.

Paris, Dec. 1.-America's greatest
aid to Russia now would be to assume
leadership in movement for the allies
to restate their war aims in simple,
unmistakable language, in the opin-
ion of Russia's envoy at the interval
lied conference.
That Colonel House and the Ameri-
can mission back such a form of aid
to the struggling demo cracy was stated
on the highest authority today.
From highest sources today the
United Press learned that after several
conferences between M Maklakoff and
members of the American mission, the
delegates from the United States SYM
pathize with Maklakoffs suggestions.
They will probably give firm support
to his plans when tie inter-allied con-
ference discussed them
United Press dispatches yesterday
summed up the general view of the
American delegation on the whole
Russian problem as one of complete
sympathy with the Russian peoples
efforts to straighten out their own af-
fairs and to achieve full benefit of
their democracy.

ASK ROTARY AID
Nov Fort Sheridan Association
in Need of Funds.
Reserve Officers Appear Before
Topeka Club Today.

At the Chamber of Commerce this
noon committee of reserve officers
from Fort Sheridan exerted an effort
to influence the Topeka Rotary club
to come to the aid of the Fort Sheri-
dan association in the matter of funds

endorsement the matter will be pre-
scented to the new military committee

partment of information and legal adj
vice, and to secure employment for its
life. These aims apply to men differed
by members of the association as well
as to the memb themselves. The
loan feature of the organization is its
greatest distinction. 1t is to loan the
funds of the organization to its mem
hers or to men differed by the MEM
hers, at per cent interest. The loans
are to he administered thru a per-
manent secretary and board of di-
rectors in CHICAGO The loans are to

the governren will deduct a certain
mount OF the mans paw each month
FOR a specified neriod and will forward
this anro1-nt direct to the association.

cations in the financing of the Fort
Sheridan association.

knowledged by the assembled reserve

FOOD AND FUEL CLASH
Hoover and Garfield in Contest Over
Railroad Priority Orders.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The contest
between the food and fuel admins
trations over priority rights for food
and coal transportation was taken up
today at a conference between repre-
sentatives of the railroad war board,
the committee on priority and the
two administrations concerned to de-
eide whether food stuffs or coal and
coke shall move first on the railroads.
The fuel administrators request that
coal be given the right of way has
drawn objections from the food ad-
ministration. If coal goes ahead of
food the food administration declares
the country will be brought to the
point of actual danger
