THE soLshEvIkI AND GERMANY

It begins to look as if the gover4a- ment which the bolshevists are en- deavorfng to set up nn Russia had plenty of trouble right at home to oc- cupy its attention for some little time if they are going to remain in control nut they cannot overlook the attitude which has been taken by Germany re- ;>ardtpg the armistice and the discus- sions which are to follow regarding a permanent peace.
 The bolsheviki wanted an armfstiee on all fronts. presumably the fronts of all beliigeTent countries They must have known that such was an impos- sibility in view of the attitude of the entente nations for Germany could not arrange any let up in the war without similar agreement on their part. But in connection with the ar- engagements which have been made between Germany and tue bolshsvfki It cannot fan to come to their atten- ton that their terms have gotten Et- tie consideration. The beisheviki ideas lave all been cast aside for the Ger man plan. Germany does not intend to retire from any of the territory which it has occupied and 1t does not intend to allow the discussions to Erag over several months. It insists upon immediate action in order to get as much advantage as possible from the prevailing conditions in Russia and while there are those in Petro- grad who are in accord with Ger many's programme.
 RtsS;e. is to be shown no favors. Whatever benefits are going to be ob- tained are going to be- on the Ger man side and Russia must take what it can set. The boIsheviki may yet come to realization of what sort of one sides deal it has entered into

STORIES OF THE WAR

 Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
 Guy AgostiTfI. a young American from San Francisco. who was killed north of Verdun, on August 2. was the son of tho American Consul at Tarragona, Spain. He was at the University of Madrid when the war began and enlisted in the Foreign Legion. A quiet, serious youth, deeply in earnest about his work, he was promoted corporal and 0won his var cross in the spring fighting in ti.e Champagne. Like many others he had foreboding of his fate. for on his last leave in Paris. he said to his friend:

IDLE LABOR IN PRISONS.

Just at this time there is a demand for labor in ali directions.

In appealing to congress for relief for the railroads. the interstate com nqerce commission has at last admit ted it's own inability to handle prob lem of it's own creation For twenty years and more the railways have not been permitted to increase their rates cosnnensnra.bly with the advancing cost of labor and material. Of all ser vices and commodities. transportation has increased the least in price. The railroad men have seen the crisis ap- preaching with ever increasing strides but their warnings have fallen on deaf ears. A populariy elected administra- ton could not bear the onus before the country of increasing railroad fares and freight charges. The cii- max was near when a year ago the Adarnson law gave the railroad ern- pioyes a wage increase amounting to millions, but allowed the railroads no corresponding increase in revenue. Economies had gone as far as possi- ble without impairing service. divi- dends had been reduced or suspended, Improvements were indefinitely post pohed and n7aintenanee was reduced to a minfmum.

CENSORSHIP
PROVISIONS
ELIMINATED

IBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
Washington, May 12-The newspa-
per censorship provisions we're
stricken entirely from the admins
tration espionage bill today in the
senate by vote of 30 to 3S on the
motion Of Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia.
After the censorship section had
been stricken from the BILL Senator
Kirby OF Arkansas introduced an
amendment providing for definite and
specific press censorship under the
supervision of the secretaries OF war
and the navy, and that was defeated
by a vote of 65 to 5. Prohibition
against the employment or use Of
cereals, grains or other edible
things during the war and one year
after the war in the manufacture of
beverages and liquors was proposed
as an amendment by Senator Cum
Minis.
The action on the censorship sec
tion if permitted to stand on the fin
al passage of the bill leaves the
house in favor of the censorship sec
tion and the senate against it and
probably will throw the question into
conference committee for settlement
where the full force of the admins
tration will be exerted to put through
a censorship in some form.
Without record vote, the senate
adopted an amendment by Senator
Reed to make the whole bill effective
only for the duration of the war.
