LONDON, Dec. 13-Conflicting re-
ports came out of Russia today re-
garding the course the civil war is
taking.
According to information coming
through channels controlled by the
Bolsheviki government, the Cossack
revolt is being crushed and General
Korniloff, one of the chief leaders,
has been wounded in battle, near
Bielgorod.
The Bolshevik government at Pet
rograd reported that the entire Cos
sack army has been surrounded and
that its capture is imminent.
Previous dispatches had announced
a defeat for the Bolshevild forces. The
only point on which the kilograms
agreed was that fighting was con-
tinuing
STOCKHOLM, Dec. l3-The Boil
sheviki government at Petrograd has
issued a proclamation denouncing the
leaders of the Cossack revolution as
traitors and threatening them with
summary punishment if captured, ac-
cOrding to a report from Haparanda
today.
The Bolsheviki leaders claim to be
winning in the field and warn the
people not to treat with the revolu-
tionaries.
West of the Don river, north of
Kharkov, the Korniloff forces are
said to have been pressed back by
the Bolsheviki troops from the east
ern front
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 13.-Disorder
has again broken out in Petrograd as
result of counter revolution started
by the Cossacks under Generals Kale-
dimes and Korniloff.
Information was received here to-
day that fighting took place in the
streets and that Bolshevih had placed
machine guns on the roofs of build
ings along the Nevsky Prospect to
sweep the thoroughfare. the most
prominent in the Russian capital.
Contradictory reports have been re-
ceived as to the outcome of fighting
in the Mohileff district. The indica-
tions, however, are that the Bolshe-
Wiki forces were defeated.
Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki
commander in chief, continues to
withdraw soldiers from the front
which may have given rise to the re-
demobilize.
Germany and Austria are reported
to have put their peace terms in the
hands of Russians commissioners who
are believed to be now considering
them. These terms are said to contain
promise from the German govern
ment to support the Bolshevih gov
ernment at Petrograd from domestic
enemies"
A cablegram to the international
News Service last week stated thai
, certain units of the Russian army or
the eastern front were being disband-
ed following the conclusion of the tenn
porary armistice.
LONDON. Dec. 13-The lull on tn,
Cambria front in France has beer
, broken by a German attack on the
northern side of the Cambria salient
but dispatches from that front toda,
} said that the gain achieved was ou
] of all proportion to the number o

J Field Marshal Haig in his report
from western headquarters described
the fighting as a local attack" al

With Russia in the thrOes of cl, 4

the Russians are turning against the
BOlsheYiki and the Lenlne-TrOtzky
clique in PetrOgrad that is plotting for
a separate peace.
n great C0ssack army is being as
%embled by General KOrnilOff and
General Kaledines in the interior OF
Russia and severe fighting attended
by heavy losses has taken place in
the region of Moscow.
The Bolsheyiki claim to have been
successful mt one point but the main
: fighting seems to have ended in vic
ryy for the patriots.
Germany, taking advantage of the
chaos in Russia and the temporary
armistice, continues to mass reinforce
ments of men and guns on the west
ern front and to pound British and
French positions with heavy artillery
fire.. However, their promised drive
has not been started yet.

ANIMUS OF FOOD CONTROL.

Those who are bewailing the resort
Of America to Prussian methods in
the matter Of food conservation and
price control are laboring under a
misunderstanding OF its aims. True
enough. there will be mistakes made,
and some will suffer injustice, as is
the case with every law for the good
Of the masses but such things are for
rign to the intent of the law in this
case. II Is not intended that 1t shall
vorl, hardship on anybody who Is con-
scientlously trying to do his part in
helping the nation. II It hurts other
people. nobody will cry, Every man
is supposed to sacrifice just little
TO the general good. and no burden Is
ro laid heavily upon any one. II
Is simply the matter OF the citizens Of
the whole nation laboring co-operat-
ively to one end, and that end the
elimination Of waste and gluttony and
the restraint OF predatory selfishness.
II every man will do his part In
this. there wiz be no need OF Mr..
Hoover invoking the extraordinary
powers conferred upon him. The dan
ger lies in the few who will still try
TO get by with their old-time schemes
of plumber and qualification.
Every glutton. every waster and
every man who seeks to mulct his
ucighbor for more than value re-
ceived is an enemy OF the United
States. lust as much az the misguided
p.eu who took up arms to resist con
scriptlon. There has heretofore been
no law to reach such offenders, but
Mr.. Hoover has the club In his hands
low. He does not propose to use
that weapon unless milder means fail,
but II the law is invoked, and II some
the fault OF those who refuse to do
the right thing without compulsion.
II Is given out flat that the condi-
Nions brought about by the war are
not TO be converted into means Of
gouging extraordinary profits out OF
either the government or the people
Of the country. Whether Mr.. Hoover
viii succeed eQultably IN administer
ing this principle or pot, we know full

his mistakes and the oppressiveness
of the law rather than go on in the
ruinous free for all that is now i'm

cine may be bitter. but It is preferable

New and pressing problems have
confronted those who are responsible
FOR the commerce OF the country. Eu-
ropean experience at the outset Of the
war illustrated the absolute necessity
for keeping the country's railroad
service in a condition as near 10 that
II normal times as was possible
Thanks 10 this lesson and the realiza-
ton OF its supreme Importance, the
railroads have been able 10 a large
extent TO meet unusual problems Of
transportation and TO avoid serious
blockades. one thing above all others

definitely instructed to enter other

Skilled railroad men will form one
of the first units 10 be sent 10 France,
and the American engineering COM
mission Is now in Russia. The operat-
ing efficiency OF the railroads must be
maintained for successful mobiliZa-
ton. but there will have TO be thoro
economizing on rolling stock. While
passenger service itself should be kept
commensurate with the needs Of the

Of travel. such as parlor. chair, obser-
walton. and lounging cars. etc, will
have 10 be cut down. All special eX-
curslon trains. local accommodation
trains poorly patronized, may have
TO be reduced for the duration OF the
war. The authorities controlling
transportation have an important
function 10 perform in fixing the
priority OF freight. War industries
must have the first call on cars for
shipment and for transporting raw
material. Industry will feel the pres
sure OF war here as scarcely anywhere
else. and much criticism and many
hardships are bound TO occur. With
limited rolling stock, business as
usual" in all branches is scarcely
possible.
The railroads OF the United States,
as part Of their effort under the d.
rection OF the railroads war board to
make available a maximum Of trans
portation energy for the movement OF
freight necessary for the successful
conduct Of the war. report the elimi-
nation OF passenger trains aggregatinE
l6,267,O2s miles OF train service per
year.
This is done by the railroads to save
man power fuel, and motive power,
that they may be applied to the trans
portation of necessities.
Every ton OF coal every locomotive
every mile OF track space, every man
whose duties are absorbed by an un-
| necessary passenger train can be put
TO effective use in freight service, and
nothing is more necessary at the mo-
ment to insure the safety and pros
perity Of the country than that the
| railroads be able 70 handle the utmost
npccibIa amount gf freight The rail

more freight service, with practically
the same facilities, as in the same

ice already reported will make avail

teaches that the spirit must be su-

a building that was too shackly for

would have too much respect fox the

appearance OF giving him what was

and Cody zeal while our body is the
repository OF filth and decay. We are
responsible for keeping the temple OF
the Holy Spirit cleansed and worthy.
/ far as in our power else we are
hypocritical in expecting the source
OF clean thots and pure motives TO
dwell therein.
But there are others besides our
selves to be considered. II is part
