CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
REDS DEFEND ATTACK.

Petrograd, Jan. 2O.-(Delayed)-
The bolshevik government has ISSUED
a proclamation to the people of Petro
grad saying in part:
Enemies of the people spread the
report that revolutionary workmer
and soldiers have fired on a peaceful
labor demonstration. This is done FOL
the purpose of sowing trouble in the
ranks Of the workers causing excuses
and melting against the revolutionary
leaders.
1T has been proved that the authors
of these rumors fired at sailors, sol
diers and womkmen who are keeping
order in the city. The central execu
tive committee has opened a searching
inquiry and the culprits will be tried
by, revolutionary tribunals"
The proclamation concludes by ad
vising the people to ignore the rumors
and remain calm, and assuring them
that order is being maintained by sail
ors, soldiers and workmea.
WORkMEN ASSUME LEAD.
The decree issued by the central
committee of the congress of work
mems and soldiers delegates dissolv.
ing the constituent assembly says
that the revolution created the work.
mems and soldiers councils as the only
organization ablt to direct the strug
gle of the exploited working classes
for complete political and economical
liberation. During the first period OF
the, revolution, ! the workmen and
soldiers congress, it is added, per:

realized that the liberation of the op.
pressed classes was impossible with.

Therefore the revolution of No
vember arose, giving all authority to
the congress of workmen's and SOL
diers' delegates, the decree says, "the
constituent assembly being elected
from the old election lists was the ex-
preston of the old regime, when au-

some of the red guards have resigned,
stating that they were misled into the
belief that by joining the organization

considered the action of the bolshe-
wiki toward the constituent assembly
to be opposed to the principles of lib

CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
London, Jan. 21.-The constituent
assembly, the Petrograd correspond
ent of the Daily News says, had moth
ing of the character of serious meet
ing of patriots prepared to work to-
gether for the creation of a new Rus
STA. There is no essential difference
between the aims of the social revolu-
ton and the bolsheviki, their opposi-
ton being merely personal. The cor
respondent adds:
Russia, judging from Fridays meet
ing, is fairly unanimous regarding
what it wants. The question is less
what is to be done than who is to do
it."

100000 IDLE IN CHICAGO.
It has been estimated that approx.
mateiy 100000 persons are idle today
in addition to the great number left
without work by Mr.. Garfield's order
closing factories and other industries
last Friday.
N. ]. Mccarthy. secretary Of the
Liquor Dealers Protective association,
fearful that some saloon keepers
would open their places regardless OF
the spirit of the fuel mandate. said:
81 regret that we were not able to
impress upon them that it is the feel
ing of the fuel administrations that no
liquor should be sold at all. The as.
ISOLATION does not believe in obeying
the letter and violating the spirit OF
the law"
STREET CARS TANNED.
Mccarthy said he feared that saloon
keepers who intended to keep open
on heatless days were burning an
abnormal amount of fuel on the night
previous.
Heatless Monday in Chicago was
most apparent in the inadequacy OF
street car and elevated transportation
as placing the trains on Sunday
schedule in face of the fact that a
number of idle persons was far fewer
than on Sunday greatly 1ncon'
venienced the public. Every car was
TANNED and thousands were late to
work.
RAYMOND E. Durham. county fuel
administrator, said that Chicago
would save $4,000 tons of coal today
and each succeeding heatless Monday
$50 900 tons in all. Two thousand
cars we're received yesterday.

ALLIES DEFEAT
GERMAN CRAFT
GOEBEN is BEACHED AND BRES
LAU SUNK; BRITONS LOSE
MONITORS.
ASSOCIATED Press Summary. ]

ASSOCIATED Press Summary
British warships finally have evened
the score with the former German war
ships Goeben and Breslau, recently
purchased by Turkey and renamed, in
an action in an entrance to the OAR
danelles Sunday. The Breslau was
sunk and the Goeben, suffering serious
damage, was beached.
The British losses were two mOni-
tors. one commanded by nephew Of
Earl Kitchener. This commanders
fate is unknown.
The former German ships have been
the mainstay of the naval defense of
Constantinople since they found refuge
there from pursuing British and
French vessels at the opening of the
war. Much damage had been done to
Russian transports and supply ships
in the Black sea by the two vessels.
Increased artillery and aerial activ-
ity on the western front has been ac-
companied by more frequent raids by
both sides. There have been no at
tacks in force, however, and there is
little to indicate any serious break in
the winter inactivity. On the Italian
front there has been only artillery
fighting, most marked in the Monte
Asolone sector and along the Pave.
1.-THE Turkish cruiser Sultan Yawuz
Selim, formerly the German battle
cruiser Goeben, has a displacement of
$4,000 tons. 1t has a complement Of
1,107 men. It's armament consists OF
ten II inch guns, twelve six inch, and
twelve twenty-four Founders 1t CAR
ried four submerged twenty inch tor
pedo tubes. 1t was built in March. 1911
and has a speed of twenty-s seven knots
per hour.
1.-THE Turkish cruiser Midullu, for
merly the small German cruiser Bes-
lau, has a normal displacement of 1850
tons. 1t has n complement of $40 men.
It's armament consists Of twelve Al
inch guns and two submerged 20 inch
torpedo tubes. It was built in May, 1911
and has speed Of twenty-five and
one half knots per hour.l
GERMANS CLAIM VICTORIES.
Berlin. Jan. 21.-German reconnoit-
ering expeditions scored successes
along the French front
northwest of Rheims and in the Ar
come, army headquarters announced
today. There has been somewhat &C
tive artillery fighting in Flanders and
below Lens and at points in the Cham
payne and Verdun regions. A British
thrust south of Vendhuille was beaten
off and some prisoners taken by the
Germans.
