Bolshevik Press
Keeps Up Agitation
Against Francis
Trotzky's Charges Against
Ambassador Feed Anti
American Propaganda

LONDON. Dec. 27.-The Bolsheviki
newspapers continue to print reyela-
tions of an alleged American plot 20
support General Kaledine, according
to Petrograd dispatch to "The Morn
ing Post" dated Tuesday. So far as
Ambassador Francis is concerned, the
dispatch adds, the whole ridiculous
charge falls TO the ground before the
straightforward statement issued by
the American Ambassador Tuesday.
Colonel Kolpashnikoff never applied to
the Ambassador for any fund for any
purpose, although fully empowered to
draw as needed on the Red Cross ac-
count connected with the organization.
Leon Trotzky's charges against kol-
pashnikoff and American representa-
tiyes in Petrograd, the correspondent
adds. amount to a series Of suppos:-
tions unsupported by evidence Of any
kind. The correspondent says tina.
Colonel Kolpashnikoff assisted the ON
cials in Halifax in examining IrotzAy
when he and Trotzky were travelling
together to Russia. and adds:
"The matter thus comes down TO the
personal element which plays so large
a part in what is called politics in
Russia to-day"
Colonel Kolpashnikoff, the corrc-
spondent says, is still in prison and has
not been seen by any American official.
It is plain. according TO the corre-
spondent of "The Post" that in some
small bits of friction between the re-
spective American missions to Rumania
and Russia Trotzky found peg on
which TO hang a series of baselesss
charges against Ambassador Francis
and the American nation. Trotzky,s OBJ,
iect is to dscredit the Entente Allied
governments through their representa-, +,
lives. and the methods he has adopted
are calculated to intensity the hostility
of the Russian proletariat toward the
Allies. which German agents also nave
fostered.
A deputation of Russians visited the
American Embassy on Monday. accord
ing to Petrograd dispatch to THE
Times" and presented floral offering
TO Ambassador Francis in recognition
of his efforts to obtain million pairs
of shoes for railway men, their wives
and families.

Raiders Is Now Expected

Conveys will receive greater protec-
tion next year, although the wonder is
not that the Germans have been occa-
sionally successful, but that such
things have not happened oftener.
Critics Of the navy who point TO
Britain's supremacy on the seas as an
argument that such raids should not
be permitted, forget one thing. The
length of Haig's line in France and
Flanders is roughly $50 miles. The
British naval line is more than a
thousand miles in length. When the
Germans, under cover of mist and
darkness, sneak from nearby b1se in
a quick DASH get into coE'oy and

Admiralty. But when the Germans, on

LONDON, Dec. 27.-The British
navy, from feet commander to cabin
hey, is now looking forwardto 1918 as
a year of action. Unquestionably II
will be year of greater offensive
activity than any preceding, particu-
larly against the submarine.
The greater part Of the navy is con-
fident, in fact, that when the spring
brings increased aggressiveness on the
part Of the U-bosts it will also set the
stage for the final step in wiping the
sea free from these pests.
Meanwhile, those who do not know
the Admiralty's secret for destroying
submarines Call know is that it is a
combination of many different devices
and practiccs) orly see that the weekly
toll of Allied shipping remains high,
in spite Of the short days and the linn
iting OF the Uboat's daily period of
activity.

that this months bag of submarines
already compares favorably with that

number Of submarines captured or sunk

DANGEROUS TO
 GET ALCOHOL.

Little Rock, March 14.-It may be possible to order bit of alcohol and mark it for medical or mechaui- cal purposes. but it is not a safe plan to follow with any regularity. Attorney General Arbuckle has mo- tified prosecuting attorneys that it is up to the consignee in the first place. if there is any doubt about the shipment being for medicinal purposes to show that it is intend ed for such. Then, the Attorney General states, the enforcement of ficers are supposed to have common sense, and if a person is receiving more alcohol than his physical con dition indicates that he requires. it would appear as though the alcohol might be used as a beverage, and an arrest should follow.
 Attorney General Arbuckle has been deluged with inquiries about the "drier than bone" bill, but he ia unable to give official informa- ton concerning it. inasmuch as the bill did not become an act. For that reason he has expressed the wish that requests for copies of the law cease to burden his mail.
