white bricklayers will be taken, either

The bricklayers in any boards turisdic-
ton will be assembled without regard

ica and her allies has been exposed and
frustrated here.
Three thousand four hundred surgi-
cal dressings, rolled by patriotic women
in Toledo, were infected with a myster-

between Toledo and Cleveland.
Immediately every one of the 3,4oo
bandages was burned. They were de.
stroyed secretly in the rear OF the Red
Cross warehouse here.
Officials of the lake division of the
Red Cross refused to discuss the poi

information was that the bandages had
been destroyed and that government

were trying to solve the mystery.

While their guns lombard the west
ern front, the Germans are taking
troops from the eastern front for use
elsewhere despite the provision OF the
Russo. German armistice prohibiting
such action.
Artillery activity in France has been
moderate over most of the front, and
violent on the right bank of the Meuse,
northeast of Verdun, the scene of the
German attack nearly two years ago.
German infantry has not been active.
and it is probable that Field Marshal
Hindenburg is waiting. for more re-
Inducements befe.e making his her
aided attack. Russian advices telling
of the German Withdrawals from the
east add that some of the troops are
being taken to the Rumanian front.
Rumania is not taking part in the peace
negotiations. and the Ukraine, which
lies beyond Moldavia and Bessarabia,
is opposed to the bolsheviki.
On the northern Italian front, the
Austro-German tactics appear to be to
strike alternately at vital points on
either side of the Brenta. Checked at
Monte Asorune last week the enemy
has struck toward the FrenZela valley,
west of the river. After two days OF
bitter fighting the Italians have re-
gained possession of lost positions In
Coldel Rosso, west of the river, and
have attacked the Austro-German posi-
tions on Monte Pertica, east OF the
river. Berlin claims the capture OF
5000 prisoners in the gaining of the
Coldel Rosso. which later was lost TO
the Italians.
Leon Trotzky, the bolshevik foreign
minister. has protested to the Germans
against the transference of troops from
the eastern front, but also has ordered
Russian factories TO stop the manurac-
ture of munitions He did not indicate
whether his government would take
any other step against Gerrnan viola
ton of the armistice.
Peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk
apparently are making little progress.
The Germans have delayed their an
swer 10 the bolshevik terms, and il is
reported that. the conference will be
transferred to stockholm shortly. In
the meantime. the majority party in the
constituent assembly. the social revolu-
tionists. has convoked the assembly to
meet January >. despite bolshevik dis
approval
