"WeI," sad Mr.. Muskrat, clearing
his throat, there are the snakes, tOads,

dogs, ants and q number of others"
'GraciOus!" exclaimed Mrs. Musk
rat. "They waste the best time of the

1.-THE bears go to sleep most of the
winter" said Mr.. Muskrat. Some
times when it is q little bit warm in
the winter months they come out for
time and look at the world, but for
the most part they are asleep. They
eat very large meals before it is time
to go to sleep, so they will not be bun

''They show a little more sense by

''The racOons do the same" contin-

warmer"

Mrs. Muskrat. "When 1 see how the

Then Mr.. Muskrat began to build a
new home with long sticks, closing up
his hole after he had finished. Mrs.
Muskrat helped him, burrowing under
the snow in the bank. They worked
until their home was quite finished,

IMPORTANT POINTS IN
wilson MESSAGE

One very embarrassing obstacle that
stands in our way is that we are at
war with Germany, but not with her
allies. |, therefore, very earnestly
recommend that the congress imme-
diately declare the United States in
a state of war with Austria-Hun-
gary.
Our present and immediate task is to
win the war and nothing shall turn
us aside from it until it is accom-
plished.
Every power and every resource we
possess, whether of men, of money
or of materials, is being devoted and
will continue to be devoted to that
purpose until it is achieved.
Any peace that America makes must
not only deliver the people and the
lands of Belgium and northern
France from Prussan conquest, but
also must deliver the people of Aus
tria-Hungary, the Balkans and Tur-
key from the impudent and Prussian
military and commercial autocracy.
First, this itnolerabIe thing of which
the masters of Germany have shown
us the ugly face, this menace of
combined intrigue and force which
we now see so clearly as the German
power, thing without conscience or
honor or capacity for covenanted
peace, must be crushed.

ROADS GIVEN CHANCE
Judge Lovett Not to Issue General
Priority Orders at Present.
Will First Give Rail Executives an
Opportunity to Solve DemoraIized
Freight Situation.

Washington. Dec. 5.-The railroads
are to be given chance TO solve the
present demoralized freight situation
before the government takes a hand.
Judge LOvett, priority commissioner,
told President Wilson that he saw no
necessity of issuing any general prior
ity order at this time. He believes that
issuing orders that food or fuel should
have preference in shipment would
handicap the railroads in their attempt
to clear congestion themselves under
the general pooling plan.
If the railroad heads fail and con-
gestiOn increases, priority orders will
be issued right and left in an effort to
clear the rails. The conference be-
tween the president and Judge Lovett
took place Immediately before the
president read his message to con-
gress. The whole transportation sit
uation throughout the country was
gone over.

EUsS LEADER SLAIN
General Dukhonin Thrown From
Train and Killed.
Battle Between Detachments From
Petrograd and cossacks Reported
to Be Impending at Vitebsk.

Petrograd, Dec. 5.-GeneraI Dul.
honln, who took over the post of COM
mander in chief OF the Russian armies
after the overthrow of Premier Keran-
sky, was thrown from a train and
Killed as the result of lynch law. after
Ensign Krylenko, the bolsheyilki com.
mander in chief, had captured Mohiley.
1t was officially announced by the Rus
sian war office. The day before Gem
eral Dukhonin's headquarters were
captured by the forces of Ensign Krv-
iengo' General Korniloff fed, the Off
clal announcement states. The ex-
cesseS during which General Dukbo-
min was killed are ascrfbed to this
cause.
London, Dec. 5.-An armistice he
tween Russia and Germany has been
signed at the headquarters of Prince
Leopold of Bavaria, says an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam,
The armistice is valid for 4S hours.
Berlin, Dec. Negotiations for an
armistice on the Russian front have
begun, the war office announces.
PetrOgrad, Dec. ga battle be-
tween detachments from the Petrograd
garrison, commanded by Ensign Kry.
lenkO, and CoSsacks, is reported to be
impending at Vitebsk. According to a
telegram from KrylenkOs adjutant, the
Cossacks have gathered on the TANKS
and in the rear of Krylenko's forces.
A circumstantial report is being cir
culated that General Korniloff, former
Russian commander in chief, who led
an unsuccessful revolt against the
Kerensky government, escaped from
custody.
Ensign Krylenko, the bolsheviki
commander in chief, telegraphed that
the general staff, which has refused
to recognize the authority of the boil
sheviki, has surrendered.
London, Dec 5.-The establishment
of a Tartar republic in the Crimea is
announced, according to the Petrograd
correspondent C the Times, who adds
that details are unknown. In this con-
nectfOn the correspondent refers to the
declaration of independence made by
the Caucasus and the secession of ST.
IBERIA. He declares it is difficult to
say where the process of disintegra-
ton will end. It appears to cause lit
tie concern to the politicians in pow
er, who are wholly absorbed in the
peace program.
