SEARCH FOR MISNING
AIRPLANE ABANDONED

After three days OF continuous
search, it was unofficially reported
last night that efforts to locate the
airplane which disappeared from the
air station Wednesday morning. pi-
loted by Student Aviator Grove
were abandoned and the case given
up as hopeless.
Reports that the plane had been
found were unsupported, and thong!
various clues ana false alarms con,
t.nued to sustain hope, repeated fail
ure resulted finally in stopping the
search.
Unless the plane suffered an &C
cident while in the air, and fell kill
ing the pilot, it was probably forced
to descend within few hours when
the gasoline gave out. This being
the case, the fragile craft was boubt
less DuTfeted about in the heavy seas
of the gulf until it was battered to
pieces, saving the lone occupant a
horrible death from exposure and
starvation.

London, Dec 2s.-The Bolsheviki
newspapers continue to print revela-
lions Of an alleged American plot to
support General Kaledines, accord
ing to a Petrogad dispatch to the
Morning Post dated Tuesday. SO Iar
as Ambassador Francis is CONCERNED,
the dispatch adds, the whole ridicu-
lous charge falls to the ground be-
fore the Straightforward statement is
sued by the American ambassador on
Tuesday. Col Kolpa shnikoH never
apuplied to the ambassador for any
fund for any purpose, although fully
empowered to draw as needed on the
Red Cross account, he being connect
ed with the American Red Cross. Leon
Trotzky's charges against Kolpashni-
koff and American representatives In
Petrograd, the correspondent adds,
amount to a series of suggestions un-
supported by evidence of any kind.
The correspondent says that Colonel
Kolpashnikoff assisted the officials in
Halifax in examining Trotzky when
he and Ienine were travelling to Rus
STA together and adds:
THE matter thus comes down to
the personnel element which plays so
large a part in what is called poll
tics in Russia today"

Fake Story of u. S. Plot
Concocted By Bolsheuik'

Colonel Kolpashnikoff, the CORES
pondent says, is still in prison and
has not been seen by any American
official.
It is plain, according to the CORES
pondent of the Post, that In some
small bits Of friction between the
respective American missions to Ru-
mania and Russia, Trotzky found a
peg on which to hang a series Of base
less charges against Ambassadors
Francis and the American nation
Trotzky's object is to discredit the
entente allied governments through
representatives and the methods he
has adopted are calculated to intensi-
fy the hostility Of the Russian pro-
letariat toward the allies which Ger
man agents also have fostered.
A Petrograd dispatch to the Lon
don Times said that Ambassador
Francis in his statement denied that
he and his staff had interfered with
Russian internal affairs CT aided any
political faction. The ambassador
published letters showing that the
funds employed in the transference OF
Red Cross automobiles were drawn
for the Red Cross and not for the en-
bassy, which the Bolsheviki had al
legged

GETS THREE YEARS FOR
LIBERTY BOND FRAUD

New York. Dec. 2s.-Elmer Dwig-
gins, arrested some time ago on the
charge of using the mails to defraud
investors in Liberty bonds, pleaded
guilty when arraigned today and was
sentenced to three years in Atlanta
penitentiary.
In asking for the imposition Of Sc
we're punishment for Dwtggins. who
was New York agent for the Bankers
Life Insurance Company, of Des
Moines, La. Assistant District Attor-
ney Matthews told Federal Judge
Hand that Dwiggins crime had bord-
cred on treason for the reason that he
had swindledy nearly 1000 poor per-
sons who had subscribed on partial
payment for the Liberty bonds and
that the frauds tended to interfere
with the successful prosecution Of the
war.
Judge Hand said he would take In
to consideration that fact that Dwig-
gins had become penltent, but de-
clared in imposing the three years
sentence that 1t was necessary to warn
others handling Liberty loan bonds
that they must be strictly honest.

PETROGRAO PRIVATE
BANKS ARE SEIZED

Petrograd, Lee. a., Soldiers acting
under the orders of Finance Commits
sioner Menchinsky today surrounded
and seized all private banks in Pet
rograd, including the Branch of Ma
tional City Bank of New York City
The manager, B. r. Stevens, was ar
rested and detained for a short time
AT the time for the opening of the
banks detachments Of the Red guard
gathered in the streets and barred the
entrances Later the banks were en-
tered, under the leadership of M
Menshinsky. Orders were given that
work cease and that he banks sur
render their papers and the keys to
their vaults. In most instances no
resistances was offered. Mr.. Stevens
declared his bank had no vaults. but
anly small safes.
After his arrest he was permitted
to return to the bank, which was plac-
ed under guard. The bank directors
who We're arrested were accused of
sabotage" Telephone service through
out the city was stopped for an hour
In explaining the seizure of the
banks, NJ. Menshinsky said:
I'VE let it be known long ago tina,
Private banks should send reports;
weekly to the state bank. This was
done but the reports were incorrect
1t was then decided to occupy the
banks, revise their activity and then
see that they resumed business. The
keys are in the hands of Commission
er Cbolensky, of the State Bank, as
are the books and documents which
have been seized"
1t is reported that a special COM
mittee will investigate the closed
banks, spending a week in the process
and that he Institutions will not be
permitted to resume business in the
meantime. The city is facing a serious
financial shortage. especially in cur
rency of small denominations, which
has been unavailable for several days

that the German proposals can be
grasped at as basis of immediate
negotiations-their defects are self
evident.

the Russians for their views they

change of mind,' it says, Germany
has thrown over her annexationists
and pronounced for status quo
ante-peace. If this is so, it means a
definite abandonment of ambitions in
Belgium and the Western provinces
or Russia
The Times and the Daily Mail are
opponents of the view that the pro-
posals constitute a trap for the al
lies and if accepted would leave the
Central Powers victors. The Times
says that Count Czernin's statement
fully bears out President Wilson's
judgment of last summer that the
purpose of the German peace in
trigue is the deceit of nations.
"The real object of the answer is
transparent" it adds. Germany and
her satellites hope that the Russian
commissioners will ratify the acton
of their delegates and intend to make
use of this to strengthen the defeat
lists in the allied countries and to
break the home front of Germany's
enemies.

King Ferdinand, Of Bulgaria, an
Amsterdam dispatch says, holds diff
ferent views on annexations from
those expressed by Count Czernin,
who apparently Is the German mouth
piece. A Viesna newspaper quotes
the king as saying that Bulgaria
would hold what she had won, which
seemingly Is at variance with the gen
eralization of no forcible annexations
uttered by Count Czernin. German
and Austrian newspapers generally re-
ceive Czernin's statement warmly.
War Operations.
Repulsed in their attempt to break
the French line north of Verdun, the
Germans have ceased their efforts
while the artillery on both sides keeps
up a lively fire. In the Argonne yes
terday the French checked a German
surprise attack and French artillery
broke up enemy troops concentrations
northeast of Verdun. On the British
front the artil1er engagements con-
tinues at various points.
On the Italian northern front the
Austro- Germans have not followed
up their success Of early In the week
west of the Brenta and which they
had a hard fight to maintain. Enemy
artillery fire on the Asigo plateau is
intense, perhaps in preparation for
other attempts. In aerial battles over

machines, emerging unscratched.
German bombs and shells nave
brought death to three American SOL

a camp resulted in the killing of two
soldiers. A German shell. which
dropped near a party Of American en-
gineers working in trenches on the
French front Christmas eve, killed a

Bolsheviki soldiers in Petrograd
have seized all the private banks in
the city, including the branch OF the

Many bank directors were arrested.

The Notional City Bank Of New
