RUSSIANS NOT AGREED

Petrograd, Dec 2S.--Leon Trotzky
the Bolsheyist Foreign Minister, IL
reported to be drafting new note to
the Entente Allied Embassies, again
asking them to participate in the
peace conference, Trotzky Is also
said TO be preparing new message
to the peoples of the world.
The Russian delegates to the peace
conference at Brest-Litovsk will re-
turn to Petrograd Saturday.
The Izvestia. the organ OF the
Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates,
dealing with the peace proposals OF
Count Czerninf says: -
Without attaching too much value
to the concessions in principle made
by the Central Powers. let us look
for the result in an acute economic
crisis and discomfort among the
masses of the Central Powers.
These conditions allow us TO hope
for democratic peace"
The Pravda considers that the re.
fusal of the Central Powers to dis
cuss the question of nationalities
which were not independent before
the war as an International question,
proves they are afraid to examine in
to the question of the position of
those nationalities from the point of
view of tho right of nations freely to
decide their own destinies.
But then the Prayda adds. ''how
can they bring forward tho questions
of Courland Poland and Lithuania,
which, from their point OF view,
ought to be regarded as questions OF
the internal life of Russia?" sa

CONTRACT ABOUT COMPLETED

Today will finish up the first in
stallment of paving in Audubon
which has been done by the Omaha
Roofing Company. The top surface
is being finished on Market Street
this morning and the concrete in the
alley on South Park will also be COM
pleted before night. With these
completed the contract for 40 blocks
of paving will, have been finished.
The city has been torn up for some
time and the people welcome the
change in the streets where the paw
ing is laid. The early snow last fall
and the excessive rains this spring
interefered with the work to
such an extent that the contract
could not have been completed be-
fore.
The second installment of paving
also covering practically 40 blocks,
is now under Roadway by the Flynn
Paving Co, of Sioux City. The curb
ing has already been put in on half
the streets that are TO be paved, and
it is expected that within a week or
ten days the concrete gang will be-
gin their work. Unless unforeseen
conditions arise. the present con-
tract will be finished within the stip-
ulated time.

COMMUNITY SINGING

Many communities in Iowa are en-
joying themselves this summer in
Community Singing. This means
that everybody-the community and
nearby Neutrality-suspicious. in some
central place and sing the patriotic
songs that we love and the old time
melodies of love and life that carry
with them memories of "Auld Lang
Syne."
There has been an oft-expressed
wish that Audubon and vicinity do
something similar, so a Community
Singing" night has been planned at
the assembly room of the high school
building. Monday evening, June 18th,
to which everybody is invited. If
you can sing we want you to come,
and if you can't sing, come and lis
ten and applaud-for this is going to
be so inspiring that you will want to
do some handclapping.
If you have song book with the
patriotic songs in it, bring it with
you, also copies that you may have
of old time songs that are again
popular.

covered from the shock of the sur

her guests welcome. Games and
amusements were at once INDUCED in

100000 MEN
BEARING ARMS In WAR
2.-.5o3. 900 of This Number Are on
The Side CT The Allies, According
To War Department Figures.

Washington. Oct 22.-At least
$4,000, geo men are bearing arms IN
the war-21, 100000 on the side of
The allies and 100000 on the side
of the Central Powers, according to
latest War Department compilations
from published reports in various
countries These figures do not in
clude naval personnel strength, which
would raise the total several mil
lions.
Against Germany's 100000, Aus
trials 3,000,000, Turkeys 5000, and
Bulgaria's 100000, are arrayed the
following armed forces: Russia, o.
100000; France, 100000; Great
Britain, 5,0OO,000; Italy, 100000;
Japan, 1,4OO,O0O; United States,
more than 100000: China, SAL
900: Rumania, $4,000; Serbia,

100000: Portugal, 100000; Monte
negro, 10000; Siam. 5000; Cuba,
1900, and Liberia, 400.
Military experts do not regard
these figures as entirely accurate, but
believe they represent in round num-
bers the comparative strength of the
contending armies as published re-
Gently. The War Department has
many confidential reports on the for
ces of the Allies and considerable
data concerning enemy armies, but
this information is not made public
for military reasons.
Germany and Austria have made
every effort to conceal the precise
numbers of their armies. but careful
estimates of Allied military intelli-
gence departments have placed the
total at about 100000, with Ger
many's force more than double Aus
tria'S.

Does Dorset Realize?

Dorchester county realize that the
United States is at war? Do they
think of the grave responsibility
resting on their shoulders, or have
they turned their attention to their
fields OF labor and turned deaf
ear to the call of their country?
Let them turn their eyes to the
fields Of Europe. Thousands of acres
Of agricultural land have been de-
vastated. and the soil saturated with
the blood of the flower of the land,
the women have been ravaged and
the little children terrorized and left
to starve by soldiers of the Prussian
government. Homes have been at
tackled, churches shelled, and the
countryside of France and Belgium
laid waste until now, in place of the
quiet orchard there is the roar OF
guns, and over the fields once filled
with growing grain is heard the
tramp Of soldiers and the conflict of
armies.
In contrast with this is the farmer
Of Dorchester. He works unmoles-
ted, he receives a good price for his
products at market, and this year
Fortune has been exceptionally kind,
giving him a large yield, thereby
greatly increasing his income. 1t is
true that the cost of labor has adj
vauced, the price of implements and
the cost of other things in connec-
tion with the operation of a farm. but
this condition of affairs has existed
