Petrograd, Nov. 26.-Lenine's peace
proposals appeared today to have
started a dangerous break in the
structure of the Bolsheviki govern
ment.
Even the Bolsheviki-d dominated
soviet showed dissatisfaction with the
offers which Lenine and Trotsky had
fathered. Deputy Kamineff suggested
there be no proclamation of peace
unless the Germans promised not to
withdraw their troops now on Russian
fronts for use against the allies on
other lines.
Other soviet deputies openly
demonstrated that the executive COM
mittee of the workmen's and soldiers
delegates were not consulted by
Lenine nor TrOtaky on the armistice
plan. Bitter criticism was voiced
that dictatorial methods should have
been assumed by such proclaimers of
the rule of the people as Trotsky and
Lenine.
Germany's Refusal a Blow.
The German refusal to negotiation
is expected to ALLEVIATE other Bolshe-
Wiki supporters.
The Cadet party has formally pro-
claimed that the Trotsky-Lenine state
mentS must not be regarded as repre-
sentative of the will of the people.
Word reached here today that the
monarchists are arranging meeting.
General Brusiloff and NJ Drago-
miroff were said to be leading a move
ment for restoration of such a regime.
In the meantime General Krylenko,
newly appointed chief
of Russia's armies, has been unable
II assume his new post. General
Dukhonin, whom the Bolsheviki dis
missed when he refused to transmit
! the armistice pr ffers, insists upon

FOREST SERVICE
 WILL WHISTLE WITH
Associated Press)

FORT BRAGG, Cal, July 13.-The eternal fires" burning in the great wood refuse heaps of the lumber camps here and elsewhere along the Califor- mia coast may be quenched by war. The United States Forest Service is trying to figure out way whereby this refuse may be brought to the cities to partly take the place of coal and oil. In this effort the government is meet ing with the fullest cooperation of the lumber companies.
 These fires, one to each of the big mills from Eureka to Point Arena, burn constantly in consuming the res idue borught to them by the tireless chute belts. At night their flare along miles and miles of jagged coast guides many mariner unfamiliar with the treacherous shore line Thousands of cords are consumed annually, be- cause the lumber companies have no ether way of disposing of this wastage. The fires have been burning for yeas. War time stress has added enor- mously to this wastage, as it forces men of the mills to work day and night to fill their orders. And the waste will increase proportionately with in- creased building unless way is found to put this wood on the market.

 The United States has perfected a new type of sea going submarine cha ser. It looks like a steam pilot boat and is quite at home in a rough sea
 Protective coloration is being util- ized on American ships, so that the queer zig-zag combination of painted figures makes the boat merge with the water, thus being hard to see. The shaT iuuks mt llfe, uIaue ol grass on which it lights.

HAWAIIAN ISLAND
 PEOPLE ARE LOYAL
 TO UNITED STATES
EX-Queen LiliuOkalani Keeps Up American Flag Over Her
 Home
.(AsSociated PreSs)

HONOLULU, July 12.-While prep arations have been underway on the American mainland for Americas par ticipation in active warfare, and owing to considerable censorship on news which affects localities detached from the American mainland. The Nation has lost sight of Uncle Sam's most for midable ocean outpost-the Hawaiian Islands, which since 1898 have been a territory of the United States. That the island group is intensely loyal to it's foster parent was evidenced imme- diately after the declaration of war, when ex-queen Liliuokalani raised the American Flag for the first time over Washington Place, her present home since she was compelled to leave the Royal Palace in Honolulu.
 Always the beautiful Hawaiian flag of the monarchy days and now the flag of the territory, has floated over Wash. ington Place. The raising of the Stars and Stripes over this historical home was entirely voluntary on the part of Her Majesty and was an occasion ot intense qualification to the command CTS of the United States army and na " departments in the Islands, and tC the 15,O00 soldiers and blue-jackets Washington Place was built in the latter part of the forties of last century handsome structure of semi-colonia design and named Washington Place in honor of George Washington, the name being officially approved by Ka mehameha H., ruler of the kingdom al that time.

CHANGE FOR CIVILIANS TO BECOME OFFICERS
 DWINDLING AWAY
Associated PreSS)

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-The chance of a civilian to become an of ficer in the new army is dwindling fast. The chance will be gone on July 15. On that date registration for the sec ond Officers Reserve Camp closes. The camp is to open at the Presidio here on August 27.
 After this camp it is the purpose of the war department to name it's off cers for all new increments from the regular army. the national guard and the selective draft units actually in training.
 The candidates at this second Off cers' Reserve Camp will come from the eight states in the Western Depart ment of the army This camp will pro- vide line officers for the second inc~o- ment of 500000 All officers not sip- piled by this and other camps will come from the regular army, the Natio- nal Guard and drafted forces.
 Therefore all officers named after this second camp closes will be from the ranks, and the only way civilian will qualify for the straps will be thru extra effort after he has become a member of the selective draft army.
 In view of this fact it is expected that there will be an overwhelmingly large number of applications for this second camp. The local camp will be limited to 1000 men It is expected there will be more than that number of annlioatinns iron, +r:- -.l - Those denied admission will lose their last chance to become officers under the present system.
 Due to the vast strength of the new army there will be plenty of opportun- ty for officers positions even after the Reserve Officers Camps. the Regulars and the National Guard have supplied their quotas The selection of men from the new army for straps will de- pend upon merit in service, military experience and executive ability.
 The embryo officers in the present camp are now under the big guns. while the cannons boom they are be- ing put through all of the maneuvers of an army in action. It is as close to actual warfare as possible.
