RUSS|A'S REVOLT
MAY De DISRUPTED
DiSSENsloN IN RANKS OF Boil
6HEVIkI OVER AUTocRATIc
METHODS OF COMMISSION.
SPLIT COVERS THE TRUCE
Deputies Dispute Authority Of Coun-
Gil to Decree Armistice-
Lenine Attempts TO Pal
late Wranglers.

Petrograd, Nov. 26.-Dissension in
the ranks Of the Bolsheviki over the
autocratic methods of the Council of
National Commissioners threatens to
disrupt the latest revolutionary move
ment in Russia.
The conflict between the protesting
members of the faction and the COM
missioners has become so bitter that
the authority OF the council to order
soldiers to open peace negotiations is
vigorously denied by opponents.
The issuance of DEGREES relating to
an arrnistice without first consulting
the central executive committee Of the
Workmen's and Soldiers deputies,
which is the highest governing body
in Russia, precipitated the internecine
trouble. Nicholai Lenine, the Boil
shevik premier, is seeking to palliate
leaders of the wranglng factions.
Lenine Replies 20 Critics.
Lenine, replying to criticism direct
ed against the order that soldiers
open negotiations for a truce, which
order one of the wounded soldiers
termed a great blunder by the COIN
missioners, explained that the order
was issued for the purpose Of combat
ting the counter revolutionary tactics
of General Dukhonin and other high
officers, thus making it impossible for
them to prevent the opening of ne
gotiations. .
This, he said, was in keeping with
the policy Of the democratic govern
ment, that the masses themselves act,
since the Bureaucrats,( civil and mill
tary, were distrusted. He pointed
out that the soldiers ere not empow-
cred to sign treaty for an ar1nistice,
but only to negotiate it. 5.
No Separate Peace Contemplated.
Lenine declared that Russia did not
contemplate a separate peace with
Germany, that the belief that an ar
mistice on the Russian front would
make it possible for Germany to
throw a large force on the French
front was groundless, as the Russian
government, before signing a treaty
for an armistice would communicate
with the Allies and make certain pro-
pOsaIs to "the imperialistic govern
ments Of France and England, rejec-
ton of which would place them in
open opposition to the wishes of their
own peoples"

Washington, Nov. 26. - A German
submarine, captured recently by two
American destroyers, was sent. to the
bottom by members Of her crew open
ing cocks below while their shipmates
stood on deck with hands raised in
signal Of surrender. All OF the crew
were taken prisoners.
There was report in nav&i circles
that approximately 40 men, including
five officers, were taken off the sub.

Mr.. Daniels statement said a de.
stroyer on patrol duty, sighting a
periscope at 400 yards, headed for it
and dropped a depth bomb; that the
submarine came. to the surface soon
afterward and was fired on by two
destroyers, second having come up;
that the submarine, apparently dam.
aged, did not return the fire and sank
lnlmedlately AFTER one destroyer had
taken 1t in tow.
Teutons Climb to Deck.
It is now known that the subma-
rine rose because it's steering gear
was put out of commission by the ex-
plosion of the depth bomb.
AS it appeared above the water to
meet gunfire from the destroyers at
close range, most Of its crew clam.
bered on deck and raised their hands.
Boats put off from the destroyer to
take the prisoners on board and while
this was going on, some members of
the crew were busy opening the sea-
cocks below.
When the prisoners were removed
and a. tow line had been attached the
captured craft, filling through the
open cocks, went down.

outlined at meeting here Of defa-
gates Of the Consumers Cooperative
Societies Of the Eastern States for or
ganization of a gigantic system to
eliminate the middleman, lower the
price and si1Aplify distribution of food

MEDAL FOR u. S. HEROES
In U-BOAT ZONE PLANNED
Special Decoration For Men Who Dis
tinguished Themselves Under E
Consideration.

Washington, Nov. rs. - A special
medal probably will be provided for
award to men Of the United States
naval service who distinguish them
selves in warfare against submarines.
Secretary Daniels has taken prelimi-
nary steps to this end.
The action of the department is
prompted by the fact that under the
law no member of Americas armed
forces can accept decorations from
foreign governments in recognition of
gallant conduct. Several times British
naval authorities expressed desire to
award American destroyer officers apd
men with the distinguished service or
der and medals.

TATIoN BAN BY EASTERN
ROADS OF NoN-ESSENTIALs.
TO FACILITATE WAR BUSINESS
Public Requested to Reduce Pleasure
Travel - Rail Pool to Give
Priority TO Commodities
Most Needed.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Two of the
Hnost important suggestions that will
be made by the committee which will
Ioperate Eastern railroads as unit
lare:
l. A practical embargo on the
transportation of 1uxuries.
2. A request to the public to re-
fduCe pleasure travel. -
The operating committee, composed
buf operating vice presidents of the
leastern lines, will meet here with the
railroad war board. Many schemes al
READY are under discussion for the
maximum utilization of facilities for
tsEar BUSINESS.
Judge Lovett of the priority board,
the only government agency through
(which direct and positive control can
he exercised over shipments, denied
that he had decided on an embargo
against automobiles. He said:
1.-THE report that I am contemplating

ki0n in fact. ] said week ago that

&ation order treating any industry as

Reluctant 20 Stop Luxuries.
( It is believed that the administra-
hon is reluctant ito cut OH the move
bnent Of Injuries until the Christmas
trade has been supplied. This may
bake another week or 10 days.
It was learned that many retail deal
ters in luxuries are already in financial
straits, due ito the curtailment OF their
Business due ito the war, and the ad-
ADMINISTRATION does not wish to precipi-
tate any wholesale crashes in the BUSH
mess world. Railroads will insist, new.
nrtheless that if they are to move
coal, sugar, wheat and steel the four
great staples now held up, they must
be relieved of some of the burdens
which they consider non-essential.
Ask Reduction in Travel.
Reduction in pleasure travel on
railways will be urged by the railroad
war board through campaign Of
advertising. There is no desire on
che part of the railroads to diminish
necessary travel. But through un.
necessary travel huge demands are
made upon rolling stock, train crews
and trackage. Although the rail-
roads have cut their passenger equip
Enent and stopped many of their
Grains, passenger travel is still in
ereasing.
1t has been already announced that
The railroad war board has recon-
mended that more than 500 articles
be embargoes in transportation, class
mig them as "non-essentials. The
fuel administration IS also consider
Eng embargoing the use of coal and
coke in the manufacture of these nom
essentials.

WE PROPHESY IN PART

Mother Shipton lived in Eng
land more than 500 years ago
and uttered several so-called
prophecies. The following lines
were first published in 1885, be-
fore the discovery of America
and before any of the discoveries
inventions mentioned therein.
All the events predicted have
happened except the prophecy in
the last two lines:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
"Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye
"Waters shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true
"The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse nor ass be at his side.
"Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
ain the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
"Iron in the water shall float,
AS easy as wooden boat
"Gold shall be found mid stone,
In land that's now unknown
"Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit jew
"And this world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one."
We add that peoples of other planets
shall be seen,
And be reproduced upon the screen.

TIP AS A cIvILIZER.

The general popularity that the home
used to enjoy before the days of taxi
cabs and cabarets may have renais-
sance il the hotels and cafes keep on
piling up their charges with the wild
abandon that now characterizes them,
says Philadelphia Bulletin. More and
more people have been cultivating a
habit of eating in restaurants rather
than at home, and it must be said, to
the credit of the restaurant men, that
they are doing their utmost to discour
age this tendency by putting dyna-
mite under their prices on every posi-
Bile and impossible occasion. A very
wise man, misplaced in the cutlery
business, said not long ago that it
was the tip rather than the talk in
barber shops that drove millions of
men to shaving themselves. The bar
Der shops still cultivate frightfulness.
But they have grown to seem like
charitable institutions in comparison
with the pretentious modern hotels and
restaurants and the hordes of amateur
banditti who Turk In their/lobbies and
in every dark corner with palms turned
up and one pretext or another for ac-
curing money that they do not earn.
1t is this sort of thing that may keep
the home from going out of style alto
gether in day when its influence is
so sorely needed. The tip mania may
be one Of those mystical reactions of
fate that occur now and then to keep
humanity on a straight path when it
seems determined to steer for the
bitches.

and that he believes in a SUI
preme Being. He must give
OUTWARD MANIFESTO
TION of that belief.
There is only one way that a
man can give OUTWARD MAN
HESITATION of his belief in
and love God, and that is by
GOING TO CHURCH. The
church is the home of God. He
reigns there. On great feast
days like Easter, Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year. s the
churches are filled to overflow
ing. People GO TO CHURCH
to honor God and thank him for
his blessings. Don't wait for
these feast days to GO TO
CHURCH and then stay away
from church for the remainder
of the year. EVERY SUNDAY
is feast day of the church.
AS a result of the country
wide go to church movement
there has been a splendid in
creased attendance in tn e
churches. But there are many
who have been deaf to the call.
If you are one of these, make up
your mind to GO TO CHURCH
next Sunday. Tell your wife of
your resolution, and note the
pleased look on her face. Tell
your children, and it will make
an impression on them for life.
A parent can i'll afford to ask
his children to Go To Church
and remain away from divine
service himself.
Going to church DOESN'T
REQUIRE ANY GREAT SAC
RIFICE. The services are at a
seasonable hour. They are not
long. You surely MEET THE
RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE
there. The sermons invariably
are INSTRUCTIVE AND UP
LIFTING. Try going to church
next Sunday. See if you don't
feel better for it. 1t will help
you to overcome the temptations
of the world. You'll hesitate
before you do a wrong act. Sin
brings its punishment; righte-
BUSINESS its reward. If you want
to earn the reward of righteous
ness and avoid the punishment
of sin, be a regular church at
tendant.
START NEXT SUNDAY TO
BE A CONSISTENT CHURCH
GOER.
