CHANGE 0f PLACE | NOT PEACE TALKED
 AT BRtS7 LITOVSk
Trotsky Threatens to Arouse German People if De
 mands Not Met.

((Associated Press War Summary.)
 Unofficial dispatches dealing with the deliberations between the B6lshe- wiki and the leutonic allies at Brest- Litovsk, indicate that for the present peace is not being discussed, but that the proposition of the Bolsheviki to change the scene of the negotiations
 Would Rouse German People. to Stockholm is the paramount issue
 Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign minister, is said to have threatened the delegates of the central powers that if they do not accede to his re- quest for a transfer of the pour par lers to Sweden, the voice of their own people and the strong arm of the Rus sian democracy will be felt by then.
 The German delegates in Petrograd have requested Sweden Go act as go- between with the allies. A dispatch emanating from Switzerland asserts that Bulgaria and Russia have signed a separate peace compact, but that the Russians have rejected separate peace terms on the proposals offered by Turkey.
 Kaledines Defeated.
 Meanwhile fighting continues in central and southwestern Russia be- tween the Bolsheviki forces and the Cossacks of General Kaledines and General Duthoff. The last account sof thees operations indicated that the Bolsheviki, for the time being, have the upper hand, both Kaledines and Duthoff having been compelled to flee after defeat.
 Germany announced her intention to send 400 French women into the duchy of Brunswick as. a reprisal for the alleged retention of inhabitants of Alsace- Lorraine by the French.
 Snow Stops Fighting.
 On the fighting front the infantry is inactive, except for small raiding operations, but the artillery duels con- tinue intense on various sectors.
 In northern Italy snow has fallen to a depth of from three to five feet, bringing the operations to halt. The movement of supplies to the enemy armies in the hills is being greatly impeded, and the indications are that fighting of great intensity will be inn possible while the snow lies on the ground.

Increases in Mains and Clos ing of Industries Only
 Hope, Say Gas Men.
WILL TAKE 50 DAYS
 TO REACH NEW FIELD
Fuel Administrator aOuch Canicres With Gas Officials in Effort to Ini- prove SituatiOil-EXpert Will
 Investigate Conditions.
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
 Special to The Grapllicl

Shreveport, La., Jan. 10.-(Witll the Couch Party.)-Increase in the mains of the Arkansas Natural Gas company or the closing down of non essential industries are the only means of relieving the gas shortage in the cities supplied by the company. This was the opinion arrived at after a con- ference of Fuel Administrator H. C. Couch and his party with T. C. Bar ret, Louisiana fuel administrator; J. R. Munce, vice president and general manager of the Arkansas Natural Gas company, and local gas officials this afternoon.
 It will take at least 60 days for the completion of the new line to the Bos- sier field now under construction by the gas company, although officials of that company estimate completion by February. SiXteen-inch pipe is being laid along a proposed line ten miles long, but labor conditions are such as to prevent immediate and regular work. The proposed line goes to wells said to have a capacity of 375 5,0o0,000 feet daily. The gas officials say that they will connect with small wells with a capacity of 32,00O,0O0 feet with six inch main by the last of this or the first of next week.
 No Promises of Immediate Relief. No promises for immediate relief were made at the conference but dis continuance of service to non essential industries was suggested. Local in- dustries, non-essential for war, use 3,OOO,O0O feet daily. This could be di- verted for Arkansas mains.
 The present supply of the Arkansas Natural Gas company in the Caddo fields is failing, and the new field will be entered at an early date. Thirty square miles of the Bossier fields are developed and the prospects are good for heavy yield. The gas company is now getting one-third of it's pres ent supply from the old fields and the remainder from the reserve of the Natural Gas company, a wholesale concern. When connection is made with the new fields there will be avail able from 30 to 40 per cent more than the present supply. This will enable the company to work their pipe lines to full capacity.
 The gas officials can make no defi- mite promises and the situation is still serious MT. Munce advises all to pre- pare for a gas shortage, though he does not think one will come again this season. C.. A. Knight, the gas efficiency expert who accompanied the Couch party, is making an ex- haustive investigation of the situation and will visit the Little Rock office. MT. Couch and his party will return i to Pine Bluff tomorrow.

Colo Wave to Re at Worst To-day, Is Prediction

"Friday-Snow, colder; severe cold wave with temperature near zero Friday"

" VI" 'S "i'ti bSi.iPSi dt lie ltcdI

 Such is the cheerful news with which the weather man gleets Pine Bluff this morning.
 With the city in the grip of the cold wave which is extending over all the south, only few venturesome spirits dared face the elements yesterday evening, slipping and sliding in sleet and slush, imperiling both their necks and tempers.
 Rain and sleet, intermittently fall ing during the late afternoon, with a temperature not low enough to freeze the ground, covered the streets with soupy mess of half thawed sleet yes terday evening. Automobiles slid and skidded on slippery streets, with their tops fringed with dripping icicles, while unlucky pedestrians plowed their way along the slush-covered sidewalks under conditions which brought imprecations against the ele- ments from the most hardy.
 Washington weather officials offer some relief in stating that the colo wave will only last a day or two, but tempe, their good news with warning of severely cold" weather during that time.

 May Take Over Express.
 Whether operation of express com fanes shall be assumed by the gov ernmcrt was discussed with the rail- road administration today by heads of the four principal express companies, and it was said Director General Me- AdOO's advisory board will in few days recommend that government con- trol be extended to them. The eX- press company executives were repre- sented today as not opposing such a move, inasmuch as their earnings this year had fallen rapidly.
 The director general expects to name tomorrow the board of four men to investigate the wage demands of the railway brotherhoods. The labor representatives have submitted list of about 15 names of men acceptable to them, it was said tonight, and two will be chosen from the list.

Somewhere in France, Jan. 1G.-
Winter in France in the mountains is
what we are experiencing. Winter
with cold winds blowing from some
direction or other and with men more
or less comfortably ensconced in great
stone barracks.
We landed in France on New Years
eve and all New Years day Travelled
through France to this camp which
cannot be mentioned other than that
it is near the center Of the French re-
public.
Travelling on French or English
trains is far from comfortable as in
France most of the boys travelled "a
la hobo,' in box cars, the funniest
dinkiest little box cars in the world
You see hundreds Of covered vans in
the cities of the United States that
are larger.
Make Best Of Discomforts
Well we are in war and must make
the best of it, and the boys take The
discomforts good naturally, realizint
that we are not over here for ou
health or on a pleasure jaunt. Blu
one can't help thinking what won

Washbulrl, y. D., Feb. 1.-THE
Washburn boys and girls teams d.
yided honors With the Coleharbor
criirtets al Coleharbor last evening in
two hard played basketball contests.
The scores: Wa'shburn boys, Il; Cole
harhor boys, 10; Washburn girls, IA,
and ColeharbOr girls, 6.
After the thorough drubbing which
the Washburn teams gave Coleharbor
here week ago it was expected the
latter would lie prepared to give
Washburn a warm welcome on the re-
turn games. No doubt was expressed
as to the issue between the girls
teams, although it was expected that
the Washburn boys would meet stub
born resistance. Instead, they claim
they got a "raw deal all around
Their first complaint is that the score
stood II to II in their favor when
within minute and half OF the final
blast of the whistle and they let down
a little. Without their knowledge the
timekeeper was changed in the last
half and he did not call time for tour
and a half minutes after time should
have been called 1t was during that
surplus time. Coleharbor ran in its
extra talies. It is expected to pro-
test the game on that ground.
The Washburn boys also assert that
the Coleharbor referee declared fouls
against them in an unfair manner

N|ASRBURu> AND .COLEHARBOR
DIVIDE H0u0RS IN GAMES

Seventeen fouls were called against
them, from which their opponents net
ted seven points. Part Of the trou-
bic is attributed to the fact that the
referee was not familiar with this
years rules.
On the whole the Washburn boys
outplayed their opponents and kept
them constantly on the offensive.
The Washburn girls showed up in
splendid style, under cramped condl-
tons, and at no time was, there any
doubt about the outcome. There was
marked improvement in their team
work.
The games scheduled with Colehar-
Dor for next Friday here have been
called off. 1t is expected to meet Tur-
tie Lake, Wilton or Underwood in the
near future.

Officers Near the Trenches
The old First North Dakota regl-

All mail was held up until the base
postoffice could be established and
the mail received looks like two to
three thousand sacks. We have a
postoffice which was formerly used by
the Russians, and located in the rear
Of one of the canteens.

STACKER TOLD TO
BEAT IT TO PLAZA;
HADN'T REGISTERED
Young Man From Mountrail
County Given Humane Treat
ment in u. S. Court

Fargo, N. ID, Feb. Ito Plaza,
,Mountrail county, by 6 O'Clock Monday
evening
That sentence, unique in the annals
of the federal court was pronounced
this morning on Joseph Schinagle,
arraign,ed before Judge. Charles f.
Amidon to plead to the. charge OF
violating the draft act, in failing to
register.
It was the humane hand of the
United States government that
reached out in this particular case to
aid al alien resident, and also his
parents, who are in destitute COndi-
ton on a farm.
Py this sentence, the United States
government will pay the expenses in
getting Schinagle to his home where
he will be registered.
Worked to Purchase Seed Grain.
Are you guilty or not guiltyT
asked Judge Amidon when the pris-
oner was arraigned this morning, at.
ter Judge John Carmody, assistant
United States district attorney, read
the bill OF Information.
Then poured forth a story of the
hardships experienced by the young
man, his leaving the United States
to work in the woods OF Canada to
send home money that his parents
could purchase seed grain for the
coming years work, and of the eff
forts put forth by his brother, IS
years old, to have the young man
registered. ...... ,.g 800,
Through the story, one Of the most
interesting told in the federal court
for several months, it was learned
that the charge of failing to register
was strengthened by his confession
that he was not citizen of the
United States, but of Austria. His
father came to the United States
when Joseph schinagle was IA years
old The young man. has been living
in Mountrail county for thirteen
years. In view of the fact that his
father is not citizen Of the United
States, because of war conditions,
Schinagle is automatically in the
same class, he never having declared
his intention Of becoming citizen.
