The entente. however, as every

provinces: Russia wants Constan-

large part OF Anatolia, and England
wants Mesopotomia and Arabia.

The department was informed that
among the prisoners of war taken to
Germany by the captured British ves

Americans members of the crew OF
the captured ship. All OF the crew

DEMAND EARLY ACTION
IN PEACE NOTE LEAK
Democratic Chiefs In Congress Would
Conclude Inquiry Before
March 4.

washington. Jan. 21.-Speedy and
conclusive action in tho probe of the
leak from Washington to Wall
Street were today demanded of the
Rules Committee OF the House, by
Democratic leaders. The Democratic
chiefs in Congress told the majority
members of committee they must
hasten their investigation and close
up the leak controversy as rapidly as
possible. Unless this is done the
probe may drag along until March
4, and then go under Republican con-
troll,
Democratic leaders tonight pointed
out to their representatives of the
committee that their control of the
next House is by no means a GER
tainty. The present Congress expires
at noon on March 4. and II the Re-
publicans should by any chance con-
troll the next House, Republican
committee would continue the probe.
This the leaders say must be prevent
ed With but six weeks remaining
the committee will be prodded for
speed at every opportunity.
VIII Consume Much Time.
The opening OF the probe in New
York on Tuesday Is expected by the
committee to open up lines of inves-
tigation which will consume vast
quantities of time. In addition to the
long list of witnesses already under
subpoena. a close examination OF the
books and papers Of various New York
brokerage houses Is contemplated. and
this will mean extended work. How
much times the committee will be
forced to give to this kind of investi-
eating Is debatable, but 1t is expected
that the Republican members will in

Like the other tortured peoples
Of Europe. they are craving for peace.

ed in a general upheaval.
There is no question about revo-
luton in Russia. II It does not come
before the end OF the war, it will
certainly come shortly afterward.
The dormant soul of the Russian peo-
pie is awakening. They have been
brought from their isolated country
districts into the cities through the
necessities of the war. and they have
learned. 1t is the new knowledge
which will prove dangerous for tf1n
Russian government.
The people have secured greater
control in the Duma than they ever
expected to obtain for many years.
They will get still greater control.
Before the war the average Rus
sian peasant was earning IS cents .

a day. This is because he has been
taken from the agricultural districts
into the cities to work in munition
factories.
