TELEPHONE STRIKE AT FORT. SMITH
 STILL UNSETTLED
Mediators Continue Work ing to Bring Girls and
 Company Together.

Fort Smith, Dec. 20.-Nothing tan gible has yet been accomplished in the negotiations being conducted by government mediators with view of bringing about an adjustment of the differences between the Southwestern Bell Telephone company and the strik- ing union telephone operators, which recently resulted in sympathetic strike of all union craftsmen here. The government representatives are continuing the negotiations, but are saying nothing as to the progress. All union men who went on sympathetic strike have returned to work.
 There is difference of opinion among strike leaders as to whether a settlement on the basis of the tele- phone company's proposal can be ef- fected unless the two discharged girls are reinstated with the striking oper- ators, and unless the settlement in cludes reinstatement of the striking girls at Van Buren, Mansfield. Hart ford and Huntington. Those who hold this opinion also contend that the Se- bastian county labor federation must ratify any settlement. Other strikers hold that vote of the telephone op- orators Organization is sufficient to reject or accept the proposal.
 The telephone company has offered to reinstate all striking operators, proposing that the two girls whose discharge precipitated the strike ap- peal their cases to the district man ager, and, if displeased with his de- cision, to the president of the com pany. The question of higher wages has not yet been brought up.

 on Peace. .xa

Tn inc midst of the peace pourpar- lers that are in progress between the rontonic allies and the Bolsheviki government in Russia. the war aims wf Great Britain and doubtless of all her allies have been concretely set firth in the House of Commons by David Lloyd George, the British prime minister The complete restoration of territory now in the hands of the enemy and compensation for the havoc they have caused is the price that will he demanded for the laying down of arms and the bringing about of peace. Great Britain did not seek territorial aegrIandizement for herself or for any of her allies when she entered the war, MT. Lloyd George said, but en- tered into the hostilities merely for the sake of her honor. As for the German colonies, all of which are now in the hands of the entente. their disposition must be determined at the peace conference. Jerusalem, how ever, the premier declared, would never be restored to the Turks. The statement of the prime minister came almost simultaneously with the re- port that the Teutonic allies intended to make peace proposals to the en- tente, and that Russia had been re- quested to take similar steps and was ,endeavoring to sound her former allies in arms tas their requirements Tor a cessat ton of hostilities.

Russia to Make Advances.

Petrograd, Wednesday, Dec. 19.- According to press reports Russia has been informed by the Central Powers that they intended to make peace pro- posals to the allies.
 This report is published in the Evening Post, which says the repre- sentatives of the Central Powers at the first preliminary peace confer ence with the Russians held yester- day. announced that their govern ments intended on principle to put the question of peace before all the powers, and that they had asked their allies to do likewise. Russia was re- quested to take similar steps. It is stated the Russians are endeavoring by all means to sound the allies.
 The Evening Post says the Germans have officially informed the Bolsheviki headquarters that the Central Powers are ready to consider the arrange ment of peace on the basis of no an- nexations land no indemnities, but that self-definition of nations was inn practicable.
 The representatives of the Central Powers informed the Russians they were ready to discuss peace prelim- X inar1es, but desired to know the result or Russia's efforts to induce the allies to join in the negotiations before pro- ceeding with them. They said this point of view might be changed, how ever, and they might be willing to alscuss peace with Russia alone. The germans were of the opinion that the russian armistice might influence the other fronts.
 The first conference was devoted merely to a discussion of who would participate in the negotiations.

 PETROGRAD GOVT. State of Seize Proclaimed in Pe!ro. grad-RevOlutiOn and Counter
 Revolution Over Whole
 Country.
Associated Press Summary.)

y.J
 The civil war in Russia apparently is increasing in intensity. CossacRs. under General Dutoff. are reported to have captured Tchelibinsk, the juno ton point on the Trans-Siberian rail- way. 125 miles west of the Serbian frontier, through which supplies from the east for European Russia must pass, and fighting continues in Odessa, in the Ukraine and around Astrakhan, but with the results uncertain, owing to conflicting reports. An unofficial report is to the effect that Grand Duke Nicholas, the former Russian general, has formed great army of Roya1ists in the Caucasus region.
 A state of siege has been proclaim ed in PetrograG and the Ukranian Rada has refused to obey an ultima- tum presented by the Bolsheviki gov ernment. Disorders in the capital, due, it is said, to the footing of wine cellars and shops, made necessary the proclamation of a state of siege. Rela tions between the Ukraine and the Bolsheviki government have not been cordial. The Ukraine has refused to
 
 territory to attack General Kaledines, and several days ago Bolsheviki troops attacked the Rada as it was sitting in Odessa and were defeated by UkItauian troops. The Bolsheviki gov ernment has accused the Ukranian Rada of being friendly to the constitu- tional democrats and the Cossacks, the main factors behind the counter rev Olution.
 Rostov-on-the-Don, recently report ed captured by the Bolsheviki, is now said to have been occupied Monday by the Cossacks of General Kaledines, who, according to another recent rumor, had been arrested by his own officers. The Cossack leader, accord ing to dispatches reaching London from Petrograd, has proposed to the Bolsheviki that civil strife come to an end by declaring the independence of the Don territory and providing against Maximalist intervention there.
 Rada Defies BOlsheviki.
 'Petrograd, Wednesday,, Dec. 29.- The Rada, the governing body of the Ukraine, has sent a negative answer to the ultimatum of the Council of Peoples Commissaries. the Bolsheviki government.
 The Ukrainian Rada and the Bol- sheviki government in Petrograd have been at odds since the successful revolution of the Maximalists early in November. The ultimatum referred to probably is the demand made by the Bolsheviki that the Rada permit its troops to go through the Ukraine to aid in putting down the Kalendines revolt.
 The Ukraine which means a iron tier, is part of the old kingdom of Poland It. is made up of parts of the governments of, PoltaNa, Kiev. Podo-. lia, Kharkov, Ekaterinoslay and Kher- son. These governments have com bined area of about 127.000 square miles and a population of 25,000,000.
