Views in PetrOgrad.

London, Dec. Especial dispatches
from Petrograd bearing date of Thurs
day seem to give an impression of how
the German peace reply was received
there, but the statements are inexplicit
and seem to be based partly on surmise.
The reply, according to the CORE.
spondent of the Daily News, created a
favorable impression, generally. and he
believes that If the bolsheviki convene
the constituent assembly now they viii
have Russia almost solidly behind them.
Representing the people as dispirited
and indifferent owing to the miserable
conditions of life, including the food
shortage, the correspondent of the
Morning Post says that as far as north
ern Russia is concerned it will accept
peace on any terms the Germans may
like to impose. How the remainder Of
Russia will act, he adds, is another
question.
The, correspondent of the Times is OF
the opinion that the bolsheviki are dis
heartened over the German refusal to
allow nationalities hitherto without
political independence to decide their
own future. He says that as the Rus
sian delegates will adhere to this de-
mand IL is likely to be "A serious STUN
bling block TO further negotiations.
Petrograd the Post correspondent

ease. speak the Berlin dialect loudly, the
Russians not protesting. In general. he
saws. the feeling of the allied residents
ol northern Russia at the present mo-
ment finds its nearest parallel in that
OF the European residents in PeSin dur
ing the Boxer troubles. He quotes
representative of one OF the allies rs
saying TO him last week:

lures Of disease, epidemics and clothing
and equipment shortages at Camp
Bowie and Camp Doniphan were pre-
sented the senate military committee
by Major Edwin st. j. Greble and Ma
jor General William Wright, command
ers.
General Greble's story showed condi-
tons at Camp Bowie to be the worse.
He declared the lives of many men
who recently died there would have
been saved had winter clothing. suffi
cient tents to avoid overcrowding and
proper hospital facilities and sanitation
been provided.
He told how the war department or
dered twelve men housed in each tent,

Each officer said the epidemic at his
post now was under control and that
adequate supplies of overcoats have
been received. but each gave "A sad de-
scription of earlier conditions.

he stated, We're crowded into "A hospital
built to accommodate 500, and that
without sewerage system.
In September, the general said. he
protested against crowding twelve men
into a tent and gave vsrning that sick
ness would result. Before more tents
arrived the epidemics broke out. Now,
however. he added, there are only 500
men on the sick list
During the hearing the committee
also received from Secretary Baker a
letter in reply to its resolution request
ing immediate action TO relieve cloth
ing shortages in the cantonments. stat
ing the necessary steps had been taken
and that he would report fully as soon
as all camps were heard from.
Worse At Camp Bowie.
General Greble. reporting for Camp
Bowie. summed up as follows:
Shortages in rifles are SO per cent:

no machine guns, no trench mortars. no

no 1-inch cannon.
The camp is not short of overcoats,
but all the men were not equipped until
last Sunday.
Complaint was made in September of
the excessive crowding. twelve men
being placed in a tent. In the epidemic
which followed, deaths occurred at the
rate of sixteen "A day for time. At
one time there were 1900 men in a
hospital built to accommodate 500. This
week there Were only 1873 men in the
hospital. Arrival of more tents has
made it possible TO give a tent to each
five men.
If fully equipped. the men should
have four months more training before
they are sent abroad for service.

INCHES. something seldom seen in winter
weather.
Grams Out Warm Air.
This condition prevailing over great
territory means that an area of high
atmospheric pressure. impregnated with
cold. has suddenly settled down over
the eastern section. and by its superior
weight and force has crowded out to
sea the low pressure area which con-
tained all the warmer air.
Around the edges of the high-pres-
sure area. there are rain and snow, but
the whole great mass has settled so
sluggishly and given so little disposi-
tion to move on and give place to
warmer air that the weather bureau
warns the country il may not expect
relief for three or four days, at least.
