Whole Atlantic Coast Suf-

Conditions.

New York, Dec. H-Great suffering
has been caused along the Atlantic
seaboard by the snowstorm which in
its effects. at least, was the worst
since the blizzard of March, 1855.
Railroad and trolley traffic suffered
almost to the point of Generalization.
Trains were stalled in many places.
Local and through trains were hours
behind schedule.
The Eastern New England section
and part of New York State were still
in the storms grasp late today. Over
fifteen inches of snow has fallen and
the storm was still raging.
A strong wind, Varying in velocity
from so to 80 miles an hour, piled
the snow in big drifts. Half a dozen
coal barges being hurried to New
York to relieve in part the coal famine
were reported lost. Two naval re-
servists, caught in an open boat,
powerless to row against the gale,
were blown toward the open sea.
1t will be days before street traffic
in New York will be normal. New
York's milk supply was delayed in de-

Figures issued last night by the Dis

show that there are only 104 va

2,CSS dwellings idle, to take care Of
the constantly increasing population

The figures show better than any

here by war activities.

Flags Social Chasm in
u. S. Army Before House
Miller, of Washington, Says
Class Distinction Between Officers and
Men Abroad Disgrace.

Representative Miller, of Washing
ton, reciting to the House yesterday
incidents connected with the visit of
the Congressional delegation to the
fighting front in Europe, bitterly as
sailed the class distinction that exists
between the private and the officer in
the American military forces.
Contrasting it with the comradeship
and mingling Of French army officers
with the men in the ranks, the Wash
ington member declared that the
French military life is ehe very basic
idea of true democracy.
His Description.
His graphic description of scenes in
the war country was listened to with
intense interest by his colleagues.
The Representative said in part:
Let me say a thing right here, and
give me your ears; I wish all Ameri-
cans could hear it. 1t is~this: 1t is
the private soldier that is the idol OF
France. The Freedman cares moth
ing for class or rank. Both are but
incidents to armies. 1t Is the private
who must do the fighting; 1t is he who
bears the suffering; it is he who wins
the battles; it is he who does the dy-
ing. When the soldier knocks at the
door of the peasant in the night time
and is asked who is there?"he SIM
ply answers "a soldier Of France" /"
The door is opened. the helmet taken,
the fires hndled and the chair placed
for him; the housewife opens the doors
Of the larder and he knows that he is
welcome to the best. The private is
not made to feel that he is a social or
intellectual inferior of the officer, They
practice the democracy Of their insti-
tutions. s-- H. go

is the boasted democracy Of Amer
lea? Oyer there the major. and the

Finis Being Written
For Bolsheviki as
Duma.Is Assailed

The Bolsheviki are apparently ap-
preaching the end of their rule. q.
By arresting several members OF the
constituent assembly, they have rails
ed a new momentous issue before the
country. It Is no longer a question of
the Bolsheviki against the Cossacks.
but Of the Bolsheviki against the con-
stituent assembly.
II the Bolshevild really intend to
war on the constituent assC mbly, then
they are doomed. There is no body Of
men in Russia that could control the
government against the will of the
constituent assembly. II there is any
thing that is sacred to all Russia
alike. it is this assembly, TO which
the Russian democracy has been
looking forward for generations All
parties. and classes. including the Boil
sheviki, have hitherto neld the author
ity of the constituent assembly to be
supreme and inviolate. 1t, therefore.
seems incredible that the Bolsheviki
would dare to use force against it.
The Lenine- -Trotzky group is aware
that the majority of the delegates as
semhled are non -Bolsheviki. 1t knows
that the assembly, once convened.
would assume supreme power and set
up a new and permanent government.
Using the Cossack rebellion as a pre-
text, the MaXimalists arrested several
popular constitutional democratic rep
resentativcs as counter TeVolutioniSts.
There can be little doubt that the Boil
sheyiki will now resort TO repressive
measures more and more often. This
has been made possible by the Korni-
lof1-Kaledines movement. which pro-
vides them with wonderful excuse to
defend the revolution"
Already a Bolsheviki proclamation
speaks Of the aid given the Cossacks
by the bourgeoisie and the allies. This
may be the forerunner of antiallied
I demonstrations in Russia, just as II
! surely means further terrorization OF
! the middle and upper classes by the
extremists. However. the statement
of the British ambassador in Petro-
| grad the other day, in which he de-
clared that the allies are willing to
abide by the decision of the constitu-
| ent assembly, proves that the allies
very wisely affiliate themselves with
| the moderate revolutionary elements
rather than with any counter reVoiu'
| tionary CossaCk rising.
The moderate elements of the revo'
| lutionary democracy are certain
| earlier or later to regain control OF
| Russia.
With the inviolability Of the consti'
| tuent assembly as their battle cry
| every honest and ideahsdc Russian
REGARDLESS of his party connection
will rally around their banner.
People outside of Russia have nc
idea how deep is the hold of the con
s1tuent assembly on popular imagina
tion Even the Bolsheviki themselves
it appears, from the Russian dis
matches. are divided as to the arrest!
made by the authority of their lead
ers among the constitutional demo
cratic delegates.
In case of a crisis considerable
part Of the present Lenine followers
are likely to ally themselves with the
moderates defending the prerogative!
of the first national parliament.

Is CENTS A DAY FOR
EATS? NIX, HE SAYS
Will Spend What | Please. Man In
forms Dr.. Wiley.

1t can't be done.
Hundreds of letters say so. II pos
sible it would be added to the eight
wonders of the world.
Thus DR.. Harvey W. Wiley's recent
announcement that an average man
can live on 1S cents a day is causing
the mail man that visits his office
many needless backaches. He is car
rying a ton of mail in answer to the
question that there "ain't no such ami
NAL" as a 13-cent menu.
One of the most recent letters re-
ceived by the food expert was one
from a rustic New Englander. who
had read the statement in the press
and lost no time in expressing his
views. The clipping was pasted on
the top of the paper, and the explana-
tory note ran something like this:
II have read OF your 13-cent menu
and would say that as long as have
the price 1 am going to eat what |
d please" Which proves that all
minds do not run in the same chan
nels.
