PHONE NUMBERS CHANGED.
Consult the Telephone Book Before
Calling Central.


In order to render the subscribers
better and more efficient service, some
fifty of the telephone numbers have
been changed in the directory which
has recently come out. Altho these
changes may seem rather unnecessary
they have all been made in order to
facilitate the service and were made
necessary by the increase in the busi>
ness,
For instance, 1t was found advan-
tageous for a subscriber having two
phones to have two numbers close to-
gether, as 300 and 301, rather than 300
and 5000. BY having the numbers thus
arranged. the operators time Is saved
with a corresponding saving In the
subscribers time. Some of the changes
have been made on party lines in order
to save unnecessary duplication. Mar

In Banks to the Credit
OF Ex-Pren7ier kerensk,

= LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Bolshevik
authorities announced that they have
discovered 317,OOO rubles (S15S,5 5000
held in banks to the credit of former
Premier kerensky, according to direct
dispatches from Petrograde. The
money probably will be spent for the
benefit of victims of the fighting which
preceded the overturn of the Kerensky
regime.
Newspapers in Petrograd continue
to report fighting in the South, where
according to the correspondent of "The
Times" civil war is waging fast and
furious. In several places there are
reported to have been scenes Of fierce
ngntlng. These include Ekaterinoslav
where it is said fighting already has
lasted five days. However, as commu-
'nication south and east from Petro-
grad is precarious at the best, the re-
ports convey little information.
Amidst the whrl of events involving
the fate of the nation, the Bolshevli
government has found time to decree

nents of Bolsheviki in
Assembly, Is Report
Ukrainians Receptive
Ready to Strike Bargain With
Teutons-Allied Recog-
milton Denied

LONDON, Jan. Especial dispatches
from Pctrograd report attempts by the
German delegates at Petrograd to make
some sort of clandestine agreement
with the members of the Constituent
Assembly.
The correspondent of "The Daily
News" says that the Germans are try
ing through neutral diplomat to get
into communication with members of
the Assembly. Their object is obvious
ne adds, as the parties opposed to the
Bolshevlki arc quite ready to profit by
the Bolshevik refusal to make peace
and to tell the people that the Boil
shevlkl promised them peace, but gave
them war.
The version of the correspondent of
,'The Daily Mail" is that the Germans
nave been putting pressure, direct OF
indirect, upon the government in con.
hectlon with the summoning of a Con.
stituent Assembly, as the Germans have
been making it pretty obvious that the,

peace, and quotes Foreign Minister
Irotzky as saying that the bourgeois

the government of the other half,
Regarding the attitude of the
ukralne. toward the Germans, "The
Dally News" says that the Rada is
willing to strike bargain with the
Germans. The Pet1ograd corrcspon-
dent, of Tho Times" who is now in
London, writes that the Ukrainians are
determlned to send q mission to Brest-
Aitovsk, not to negotiate separate
peace, but to ascertain Gcrmany's in
tentlons toward Little Russia. The Ger
mans are willing, he says, to recognize
the Rada on the basis that the Ukraine
supply Germany with foodstuffs and
recognize German economic interests
in the Ukraine. Neither of these points
the correspondent adds, are to Little
Russian taste, but if the Allies fail to
help the Ukrainians or adopt a policy
OF compromise with the Bolsheviki, the
Rada may have to yield and the Cos
sacks, too.
In reference to the report that the
Allles arc shortly to recognize the
Bolshevik government and that Great
Britain will accept the appointment by
the Bolsheviki of Maxim LitvinoH as
Russian Ambassador in London, 1.-The

no change has occurred in the attitude

tion Of NJ. Litvinoff's appointment.

By Frank W. Getty

LONDON, Jan. 5.-1he Bolsheviki
have dealt knockout blow to secret
diplomacy Whether they have accom-
plished anything else, they have un-
doubtedly fixed the form which future
peace negotiations will take. A good
evidence of this is the widespread sat
isfaction expressed by the entire Brit
ish press over the manner in which
the Russian delegation at Brest-
Litovsk dragged the German proposals
into the sunlight, thereby with a sim
gle stroke proving the falseness Of the
German pretensions more effectively
than could years of Allied propaganda.
The shrewdness displayed by Joffe's
delegation in outman@uvring Won
kuehlmann and other leading diplom-
atists Of the Central Powers, to-
gether with tho continual indications
of resourcefulness with which Trotzky
is meeting changing conditions inside
Russia, unquestionably is affecting Al
lied opinion favorably.
The persistent talk of Allied, or at
least British, recognition of the Lee
nine government is sign of this. for
such suggestion would not have been
tolerated week ago.
What is more probable than tho i'm

independence, and that the present rul-
ers of Russia had entered into separate
peace nego. iations, the Premier said:
II am indulging in no reproachcs. l
am stating facts to make 1t clear why
Britain cannot be held accountable for
decisions taken in her absence, and
concerning which she was not con-
suited or her aid invoked
Nobody who knows Prussia and her
designs toward Russia can doubt her
ultimate intention. Whatever phrases
she uses to delude Russia, she does not
mean to surrender any Of the Russian
provinces and cities now occupied. I'm
der one name or another, they will
henceforth be part of the Prussian
dominions, ruled by the Prussian
sword, and the rest Of the Russians
will be enticed or bullied into complete

slavcment.

Bolshevik Peace Methods
Kill Secret Diplomacy

mediate official recognition Of the lie
nine government is some sort of work
ing agreement pending the restoration
of order in Petro grad. The departure
OF Buchanan from Petrograd has rem
dercd such action possible. While he
was there in tic capacity Of ambas-
sador he naturally was unable to deal
with anything less than Il recognized
government.
Litvinoff, recently appointed Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, has announced
he considers himself accredited by the
Bolsheviki to the British people, not
the government.
There is new and interesting light
thrown on one feature Of the Russian
situation by certain dispatches to-day
from Petrograd, which allege efforts are
being made by Russian conservative
elements to establish communications
with Austro- German delgationA
These reports would seem to confirm
warnings voiced by those who with in
innate knowledge Of Russian affairs
predicted at the time of the Korniloff
revolution that the greatest danger of
a separate peace was that it was a way
to the success of the reactionaries.
Such disclosures, whether confirm d
or not are likely to increase the dis
position of the Allies to deal as far as
is necessary with the Maximalsts
since one of the main objections to
them from the beginning was their
prediction for separate peace.

language he proposed using, there was
national agreement as to the char

aims and peace conditions. lie was
speaking. therefore, not merely the
mind of the government, but the mind
Of the nation and empire.
I'VE may begin by clearing away
some misurdersta landings" said the
Premier, land stating what we are not
fighting for. We are not Sighting y
war of aggression against the German
people. Their leaders have persuaded
them that they are fighting a war of
self-defence against a league of rival
rations bent on the destruction Of Ger
many. The destruction or disruption
of Germany has never been a war aim
with us. Most reluctantly and quite
unpreparcd we were forced to join in
the war in self defence, in defence
of violated law in Europe.
"The British people have never
aimed at the breaking up of the Ger
man peoples or the disintegration of
their state. Our wish is not to destroy
Germany's great position in the world,
but to turn her aside from schemes of
military domination to devote her
world.
Eve are not fighting to destroy Aus
tria-Hungary or to deprive Turkey of
ITS capital or the rich lands of Asia
Minor and Thrace, which are predom-
inantly Turkish.
I'VE are not fighting to destroy the
German constitution. although we con-
slider military. autocratic constitu-
ton dangerous anachronism. Our
viewpoint is that the adoption of a
democratic constitution by Germany
would be the most convincing evidence
that her old spirit of military domino
ton had indeed died in this war, and
1t would make it much easier for us
to conclude broad, democratic peace
with her. But that is a question for
the German people to decide.
"It is more than a year since the
President of the United States advised
the belligerents by suggestion that
each side should state clearly the aims
Tor which they were fighting. We re-
piled; the Central Powers did not, and
they have maintained complete silence
as to the objects for which they are
hghtlng. Even on so crucial a matter
as their intention regarding Belgium
they have declined to give any trust
worthy indication."
Referring to the pronouncement by
Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian
Foreign Minister, at the Brest-Litovsk
peace conference on December 20, that
1T was not the intention of the Central
Powers to appropriate forcbly any oc-
cupied territory or rob Of its indepen.
1ence any nation which lost it's polit-
lcal independence during the war, Mr.
Lloyd George said it was obvious that

tons could be pcrpetrated within the
