EXTREMISTS Losing Griu.

Petrograd, Nov. 23.-The Bolshevil1i
is crumbling away while famine is
stalking nearer the capital.
The daily ration was once again re-
duced today. The Kerensky food minis
try remains adamant in its refusal to
recognize the Bolsheviki government
and this, with paralysis of the railroads
brought the city to the realization to-
day of the near approach Of starvation.
Eleven Bolsheviki ministers have now
resigned. The latset was Admiral Yer
derevsky as minister of marine. Captain
Ivanoff was named his successor.
A general headquarters conference
today adopted resolutions favoring a
new aHsocialist government, to include
the Bolsheviki as well as the maxim
alists and to be under Tscherneff as
premier.
Owing to a famine in heavy clothing
in the army, the people s eommissaries
today decreed special requisition from
all persons paying more than $50 roub-
les ($75) monthly.

MACHINERY STAGE OF
T. WAR REACHED BY THE
BIG SUCCESS

for the customary preparatory artillery
fire, they saved more lives, always sac
rificed when artillery preparation warns
an enemy of an impending attack and
brings an enemy barrage against the
assaulting waves.
British officers estimated today that
lack Of any drum fire preparatory she'll
had saved literally millions Of rounds of
annmunition-and ammunition which
costs on an average $50 per round. This
was made possible by machinery.
Note:-of particularly timely interest
in connection with Simms cable, was a
statement given out Saturday by Henry
Ford, declaring in part: "We must
think more about machinery. If this
war is to be won, it will be won by the
nation that knows best how to use tools
and machinery" Ford s statement was
given out on the occasion of his join
ing forces with the government to speed
up on machinery particularly ship ma
chinery.

TRADING IS ACTIVE,
 MARKET ADVANCES
Circulation of Crop Estimates Causes Sharp Advance-Janu- ary Sells Up to 2S.70 and Close is 19 to 27 Points Up.

New York, Nov. 23.-Reports of continued trade buying and the circu- lation of small crop estimates caused another sharp advance in the cotton market today and new high records were established January sold up from 28.27c to 29.7Oc and closed at 28.52c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 19 to 27 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 3 to II points in sympathy with higher European cables, but met renewal of yesterdays selling move ment. This came largely from Wall street and local sources and was again accompanied by talk of an easier spot basis in the South. Offerings were absorbed on a decline of about to points under last nights closing fig firmer on reports that the spot basis had stiffened during the progress of the reaction, and that trade interests were again buying against forward sales of goods Covering by recent sellers became active as prices worked higher, and the demand seemed to be stimulated by the publication of a local crop estimate placing the yield at 10,500,000 bales without linters, or at 11,700,000 bales with lnters. Stop loss orders were uncovered as the mar ket worked into new high ground, with December selling up to 29.15c, while March advanced to 2S39c and May to 28.20c, making a net advance of 25 to 10 points on the general list. The advance was then checked by realiz- ing, with the close showing reactions .of some 10 to 19 points.

PLANS UNH|NDEREO
 BY U.B0AT WAR
Secretary Baker Says United States Troops Are Sent to France as Fast As They Are Ready, as Per Schedule.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Arrival of American troops in France has kept pace with the expectation of the War Department, Secretary Baker said to- night. Movement of the forces, he said, depends on two clements, the training and equipment of the men and the availability of ships.
 "As fast as they are ready, ships and men will be combined" the sec retary said. "As many American troops are now overseas as we ex- pected in hte beginning to have over seas at this time"
 MT. Baker indicated that an official statement of the number of American troops in France is not to be expected at any time during the war. He caused an inquiry to be made of the military censor, Major General McIn- tyre, however, which may result in omre liberal regulations as to publi- cation of the designations of regi- ments, brigades or companies which are engaged in action If there is no sound military reason for suppressing that information, MT. Baker said, he desires to give it out. He was re- minded that the British official state ments recently have named at least by geographical designation the troops used in attacks. Apparently a new policy in this regard has been adopted in London and the War Department may do likewise.

WAR REGULATIONS
 0F THE RAILWAYS
Pooling of Equipment For the Common Good of the Govern ment is the Plan-War Mater ials to Have Right-Of-Way.

United Press Special.
 Washington, Nov. 24.-A revolution in American railroad methods is being worked out to relieve war transporta- tion conditions. The pooling of rail- way interests and equipment to the most radical and revolutionary extent ever dreamed of, it is understood is shortly to be announced.
 The plans do not contemplate the total elimination of passenger service, but the further curtailment in the number and luxury of such trains is certain.
 An embargo on carrying of non-war products is not within the railroads own powers. But the recommendation that brewery products, candy, jewelry and hundreds of other non-essentials should not be transported ahead of war materials have found favor with the government priority board.
 Details of the railways voluntary war regulations were withheld while the railroad war board here and the meeting of railway executives in other cities were going over the final scheme today
 It is officially stated in circulars to be a vast pooling of trackage, equip ment and terminals and service to the common good of the government and war, whether it is good for individuals lines or not.
