Tuesday afternoon and allowed just
twenty-four hours for packing and
bidding goodbye.
The womans ward in the city Jail is
empty. 1t was emptied by Judge
Robert Yates Tuesday afternoon. Up
to that time for two weeks it had been
filled with girls. The city got tired
feeding them and they were given an
option with five minutes to take il
or leave it.
Judge Yates went upstairs to Ma
the girls be brought in. They lined
up and he made his proposition.
To Protect Soldiers.

Socialist paper, according TO inIorma-
ton furnished the board. The state
board held that if the paper could not
use the mails, it was not proper
organization to operate under the cor

I'VE based our rejection of a char
ter on the action of the government in
refusing the paper the use of the
mails" said T. ]. Botl<in, secretary of
state. Under the state charter laws,
the board is given power to reject
charters not sought in good faith. l

inflammatory statements that the gov
ernment closes its mails against cir

probable the paper could make a
showing of good faith in seeking a

Germany's Demands.

London, Dec. 1.-The Petrograd
correspondent of the Times attributes
to a responsible source the state
ment that during the informal con-
versations between the Russian and
German representatives at Brest
Litovsk regarding the armistice on
the eastern front the Germans indi-
Gated that the following points were
likely to be included in any of their
peace negotiations:
Germany to have control of Rus
sian wheat market for Is years.
"All German goods to be admitted
to Russia duty free.
mo territory now occupied by the
Germans to be surrendered"
The correspondent says the Boil
sheviki were disappointed by the re-
served attitude of the German nego-
tiators and their lack of sympathy
with political ideals. Other causes
contributed to their depression but
it stated they are determined to con-
clude an armistice at any cost if the
latest appeal by the Russian commits
sioners to the Allies fails.
