PETROCRAD SITUATION DESPERATE
Crime Rampant, Starvation Threatens and Other Conditions
 Are Bad.

l London, Jan. 9.J+The situation il ] Petrograd is depicted in gloomy col ors by the correspondent of the Times, who in a telegram dated Monday, f the Russian Chris tmas, says that no Christmas in 300 years has been eel
 brated in such tragic circumstances :; Petrograd, he says, is full of dirt, dis order and crime.
 Burglary, robbery and murder in the most audacious forms prevail to an extent hitherto unknown and there |; is na police or other authority to which to appeal
 | He says starvation is staring the people in the face. The only bread IS black, gritty and underaone and is composed of millers' refuse and mix ed with straw. Potatoes are scarce and dear, while meat is rare lux ury.
 The wretched conditions have been 6 aggravated by litter cold an.i blina- ing saowstorms drifted by yiolen. winds for three days. The correspond elt thus sUE1s up the si.uation: 1 Russian affairs have becume so desperate that only. the intervention Of the allies or the Germans can pre- vent a atasSrophe. As this can no longer be expected from the allies, the disheartened Russian lcoks to the Germans to end the awful chaos in which the country is involved'
 Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik for eign minister, says the entente gov ornments wish Germany to make an advantageous separate peace with Russia so that Germany will be will i ing to surrender what the allies want in the west. according to the Petro- grad cores pondent of the Daily News. TrotZky who was interviewed as he was starting for @Brest-Litovsk, said that Premier Lloyd George had made a statement permitting such an in terpre+ation.
 The correspondent assured Trotzky . that Lloyd George had never made such 9, statement, but the Bolsheyik leader. was hard to convince and said: That is the allied policy" He ! added that the attitude of the Bolshe- wiki woIld not be influenced by the attitude of the allied governments, but by that of the allies peoples. Trotzky was asked what hope he ] had of general acceptable peace. He replied that it was difficult to say because the Germans had not yet been offered a chance to make such peace, but he was sure the Ger mans must need it.
 1 He quoted German deserters as say l ing that Germans were unable to remove troops from the eastern frcnt in large units. They were removing ! them one at time and the men. knowing where they were being sent I jump from trains in attemps to es- ccpc. He repeated the story that l 25,000 troops lad deserted in the Kovno district end said that the Germans cannot get their men to ct- tack the desertcls and are trying to reduce them by starvation.

Completely Reorcanizes TIE Gen.
eraI Staff Into Five Se9a-
rate Divisions.
EACH ONE HAS AUTHORITY.
Bureaus Act Directly-Effect of the
New Order on Chamberlain Bills
Still a Matter of Doubt-Stet-
tnius Has Free Hand.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the
general staff of the army was an
noLnced by Secretary of War Baker
through a general order by the adju-
tant general. 1t transforms the general
staff from a small advisory body to
comprehensive organization having to
do with all war activities. 1t gives IT
the authority to carry out the secre-
tary of wars policy without referring
such matters for approval and it per-
mits this authority to be delegated to
the heads of the five divisions created
by these heads to the heads of sections
operating under the divisions.
Secretary Bakers reorganization
may have the effect of eliminating
much of the red tape in the war deA
partment's activities in that it will give
heads of divisions and heads of sec
lions in the divisions a chance to ex-
'ercise authority in putting their own
organizations on a practical business
basis.
The effect which the reorganization
will have on the Chamberlain bills or
whether the advocates of minister of
munitions measure will regard the re-
organization as an acceptable substi-
'tute cannot yet be ascertained. Much
will depend on how the division of sup
plies and purchases under Colonel
Pierce is ultimately organized. In the
meantime it is expected that the minis
ter of munitions measure will not be
dropped, though admittedly it now has
little prospect of becoming a reality.
Edward Stettinius i'll his role of sur
veyor general of supplies under Colo
mel Pierce, head of the purchase and
supply division, will have authority
now to go ahead in his own way and
carry out the policies of Secretary
Baker. He will therefore have more
real authority than was at first APP
| parent.
The general order divides the work
| of the general staff into the following
! five divisions:
An executive division having chiefly
to do with co-Ordinating the work
mapped out for the others and incir
dentally having the military mtelli-
gence, service promotions and assign.
mentS and the militia bureau under its
| control
A war plans division.
A purchase and supply division
Storage and traffic division. .s!a
! An army operations division.
The personnel of these divisions has
not been announced, excepting in the
case of the purchase and supply di-
vision under Colonel Pierce and the
storage and traffic division under Ma

recently issued a report on the tin
resources of the Kings Mountain dis
trict North Carolina and South Car
