ENDURING PEACE ONE
OF GREATEST AIMS OF
AMERICAN RED CROSS

Broadly speaking, the Red Cross
war council has proceeded upon
the theory that the present work of
the American Red Cross should
contribute to these great aims:
!. To be ready to care for our
soldiers and sailors on duty wher-
ever and whenever that care may
needed.
2. To shorten the war-by
strengthening the morale of the
allied peoples and their armies, by
alleviating their sufferines in the
period which must elapse until the
American army can become fully
effective abroad.
3. To lay foundations for an en-
during peace-by extending a mes
sage of practical relief and sym
pathy to the civilian population
among our allies, carrying to them
an expression of the finest side of
the American character.

Of THE
ARM|ST|CE ON
EASTERN LINE
Russo German Agreement In
cIudeS Lines From Arctic
to Black Sea.
NO MOVEMENT OF TROOPS
FROM PRESENT POSITIONS
Agreement Reaches to Jan. ID
or Until Notice of Abro-
cation is Given.

BY Associated Press.
When the armistice agreement be-
tween the Russian government and
the central powers goes into effect on
the eastern front today the emissaries
of the several countries will begin
negotiations looking toward peace be-
tween Russia and her former enemies.
The armistice between Russia and
the central powers is to continue for
% days and for an indefinite period
afterward unless seven-day notice
is given. Both sides agreed not to
carry on military transfers on the
eastern theater except those begun
when the treaty was signed.
Temper Their Attitude.
London newspapers forecast that
the allies will give recognition of the
6olsheviki "in order to prevent Rus
sia from passing under the political
and economic heel Of Germany"
Great Britain is said to have decided
to release Tchitcherin, Russian po-
liticai prisoner, and the BoIsheviki
are now permitting British subjects
to leave Russia. To the American
delegates at the Paris conferences is
said to belong the credit for the tom
pering of the allied attitude toward
the Bolsheviki.
Confiscate Church Property
Labor strikes appear to be the grea at
obstacle before the BoIsheviki at
present, especially in the Petroerad
district. The railway and fuel situa-
tions are serious. The counter revolt
is still more or less of a menace to
Bolsheviki authority and the constit-
uent assembly is another knotty
problem. The oonfisoation Of all
property, lands and money of the Rus
sian church has been decreed by the
Bolsheviki, who also have abolished
all privileges Of the clergy.

Ballot in House on Prohibition
Issue Late This
Afternoon. &
"WETS" GAIN STRENGTH
is ADMITTED BY "DRYS"
But Prohibition Forces Expect
to Secure TWo-thirdS
Majority.

Washington, Dec. l7.-Both
vets and drys predicted victory
today when the house launched
into a six-hour debate which is to
cose at o'clock this afternoon
on the prohibition constitutional
amendment.
The drys admitted that the vets
had been gaining strength for
several days, but claimed 20 votes
to spare over the necessary two
thirds.
The vets gave no figures and pre-
dicted the defeat of the resolution by
a narrow, but safe margin.
Although the resolution has passed
the senate. it will not be out of the
woods with passage by the house. for
it has been amended, and if the house
passed it today it would be necessary
for the senate to vote again on the
changes.
The house committee has amended
the resolution TO provide that the states
must act on its ratification within
seven years. while the senate speci-
fled six.
