Seek Peace to Restore Order


London, Nov. 22.-Russia may b.
patches received from Scandinavian
sources.
They reported the Bolsheviki, Mini
malists and the Socialist party Of the
nation are almost united in the belief
that only complete withdrawal frGr,
the war and concentration Of all offorf
on internal affairs can restore order
in Russia
The Swedish newspaper Tidnengen
was quoted as saying that the Swed
ish foreign Office is in receipt of infor-
nation that "Russia's official partici-
patton in the war is nearing it's close"
Copenhagen reports that conditions
in the Russian lines on the eastern
front are such that Germany and Aus
tria have withdrawn all Of 80" haeI
+roops and majority of their gun
and that the TeutOnic and Russian
soldiers are fraternizing and feasting
to@ether.
The ambassadors representing the
lied countries are Reported to be pre-
Earring to leave Petrograd, but this
report Is unconfirmed. The Am r'car
embassy in Petrograd is said to b.
under guard of Polish troops.
The political tangle still con inued
at Petrograd, according to latest ad-
vices. All endeavors for compro-
mise or coalition government have
failed.
Kerensky's whereabouts is still IN
known. Some of reports were receiv-
ed at Swedish cities about hif,-one

j. S. TO FORM FORCE
OF FEDERAL POLICE
will Cooperate With States in
Guard Duty.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Army de-
partmental commanders have been
relieved of the duty of assign
ing troops to guard industries and
railroads as the first step in the war
departments general plan for cooper.
ating with the state in a system of
internal control during the war that
will not drain the fighting forces.
Hereafter all requests for guards,
either from state authorities or from
manufacturers, must be made to the
adjutant generals office for reference
to the military bureau.
Soldiers now doing police and
Waterman work will be relieved soon.
To supplement men furnished by the
states for such duty, the department
is preparing to organize a special
force of federal police, semi-military
in character. . -'. ....
Inquiries have been made of the
state adjutant general for information
that will form the basis for co-opera.
ton. There is no purpose of taking
over the home guards, but the federal
government wants to know just what
he states may be expected to do.
The war department has been de-
luged with requests for troops to
guard plants and industries. The only
force originally was the national guard
which was called out for guard duty
before it was federalized for war serv-
ice. The soldiers were found to be
an inefficient police force partly be-
cause of legal restrictions upon their
activities since martial law does not
prevail in any part Of the United
States and also because of their mill
tary equipment in-suited to police
work.

ALIEN THOUSANDS
FORCED To MOVE
Germans Quit Homes Under
Enemy Decree.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Thoussnds
OF unnaturalized Germans were forced
to move from their homes near docks,
piers, warehouses. railway terminals
and other establishments declared
barred zones by President Wilson's
alien enemy proclamation.
For many the new regulations
meant not only the actual moving of
the place of residence, but the loss
Of jobs in the forbidden areas as
well
To those without work, including
many with dependents, the federal
employment agencies were open, and
officials were emphatic in explanation
that the help of these agencies in find
ing new employment for the alien enc
mics would not be withheld This
was only one evidence of the govern
ment's anxiety to treat law-abiding
Germans with courtesy and considera-
ton while applying the drastic rules
to deter the few with harmful intent.
Mayors Of eastern seaport cities
wera asked for the cooperation of
their police departments In the re-
distration Of alien enemies under the
presidents proclamation, and a few
early replies to the department Of
justice indicated that the police would
willingly undertake the task of en-
rolling thousands of German adult
males and soliciting data on their oc-
equations and habits for failure ref
erence. Along the Atlantic coast,
where danger from alien plotters is
considered greatest, the registration
enterprise will be undertaken first,
and will be followed later by registra-
lions in the interior.
