brought by the latest travellers to

that revulsion Of feeling is setting IN

the Russian capital bearing banners
with inscriptions such as 1--WE Want No

Never SO Tyrannic as the Bolshevik
Regime"
The central committee CT the Anti
Bolshevik Socialist coalition has passed
a resolution demanding liberty Of

Guard and the immediate cessation of

War Board Considering
a Proposal to Relieve
Freight Congestion
Lines Must Have Aid
Howard Elliott Opposed to
the Government Loaning
Any Money Outright

BOSTON. Nov. 21.-The Railroad
War Board is considering a proposal
to build 100000 freight cars and sell
them to the railroads of the country
on twenty-year time at per cent in
terest, Howard Elliott, member Of
the board, stated at a hearing to-day
before George W. Anderson, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. or
the petition of the seven New England
railroads for increased rates.
Mr.. Elliott expressed his approval
OF this plan, but said he was opposed
10 the government loaning money to
the roads outright.
With other railroad officials who tes-
tilted, Mr.. Elliott, who is former presl-
dent of the New York, New Haven &!
Hartford Railroad, expressed the opin-
ion that without some financial relief
the road would be unable 90 accom-
plish the maximum amount of work
for the government in the present
emergency.
The roads ask for an average in
crease in freight rates Of 10 per cent,
a 25 per cent increase on Communication
tickets. and an increase of one-quarter
of a cent mile on both single fare
tickets and mileage books.
Mr.. Elliott was the principal witness
at the afternoon session, and much OF
his testimony was along the lines he
presented at similar hearing IN
Washington recently. A composite sta
tistical exhibit of the cost Of operating
the seven New England roads was pre-
sented by Professor William j. Cum
ningham, of Harvard University, IN an
effort to show the roads are not earn
ing enough to give adequate service
He expressed the belief that shippers
would be better off if they paid a
higher rate for better service.
During the last ten years. he said,
improvements on New England roads
have not kept pace with the demands
Of traffic. and since 1907 there had been
a Stacking up in betterments, with the
result that the roads were not able TO
handle the yeak Of the traffic W hich
came in 1915. He declared that there
wa. an acute need Of further improve
ments, such as undermining rolling
stock. additional trackage and better
terminals.

Torpedoplane May
Be U-Boat's Answer

BOSTON. Nov. 21.--Hope that the
torpedoplane may prove to be the eff
fective answer to the German subma-
rine menace, and destroy the German
main feet, was expressed by its in
ventor, Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske,
before the members of the Aero Club
Of New England, here tonight.
Much hope is felt by the Allies
now" he said, because Of the apparent
loss Of effectiveness Of the submarine
attacks. Whether or not the submarine
has been beaten, let US realize that the
submarine is only one of many naval
weapons, and that naval strategy rec
ognizes the fact that so long as an
enemy's feet exists as a fighting force
X constitutes a continuing menace,
from which an attack of some kind
may be expected at any time. For this
reason no mere subsistence Of sub
marine activities should blind US TO a
desirability Of sinking or disabling the
German fleet.
"Thc strategical desirability OF Gre
ating new and unexpected weapons in
advance Of war, was not thoroughly
realized till recently by any govern
ment except the German. 1t is unfort-
innate for the Allies that the German
government realized IL before they did
so, because this priority has been a
potent factor on the German side. In
fact. the principal factors in whatever
success the Germans have attained
have been the new mortars with which
they battered in the tops Of the Bel
gian forts. their novel appliances for
trench lighting, and their unexpectedly
efficient submarines.
perhaps !. is not too late 70 bring
against the Germans still newer
weapon, the torpedoplane; perhaps IL
may be permitted US TO hope that, as
the Monitor was the effective answer
20 the Mernmac, 80 the torpedoplane
may be the effective answer 10 the sub
marina"

Lenine and Trofzky
PreUent Negotiations
Bef,Ueen Radical Parties

iCable 70 The Jewish Daily For1ard"l
PETROGRAD, Nov. 21.-All negoti-
atoms between the Bolsheviki and
other socialist parties were decidedly
broken up to-day on account of the
irreconcilable attitude of Lenine and
Trotzky. While the majority of work
men and soldiers seem to support the
BolsheviM government. the rest of the
population is doing everything TO i'm
pede their activities by passive resist
ance.
The Moscow Town Duma which was
dissolved by the Bolshevik decided to
continue its work through a special
committee, and Il is Endorsed in this
decision by the Town Duma Of Petro-
grad.
The artists of the capital have ar
ranged a MORNING period for the art
treasures which persisted in Moscow at
the time the fight was going on be-
tween the Bolsheviki and loyal troops.
No pogroms have taken place, and
external order is reigning in Petro-
grad and the country at large.
