The report was placed before Con-

In the first draft, the quotas were
based only on population, but General
Crowder asks that the new basis be
made the number of men found in

Petrograd, Jan 5.-The govern
ment of the Russian workers will not
consent to t:le German peace propos-
ais, declares Leon Trotzky, Bolshe'
wiki foreign minister
Al. Trotzky's declaration was made
before the central committee OF the
Council of Soldiers and Workmen
delegates during an address in which
he denounced in scathing terms Ger
many's hypocritical peace proposals.
Ready to Defend Revolt.
Asserting the government of Rus
sian workers would not consent to
such conditions, he said that If the
Teutonic powers did not agree to free
disposal of the destiny of the Polish
and Lettish nations it would be ur'
gently necessary to defend the Rus
sian revolution.
He said the needs at the front would
be satisfied, whatever efforts might

Nav Not Renew Armistice.
Representatives from all the. fronts
who attended the meeting declared

Evidences multiplied that irrecon'
cilable differences between Russian

force discontinuance of future separ-
ate peace negotiations and that the
krmistice may not be renewed.
Hun 1rickery Feared.
Russians now are apprehensive OF
German trickery in every move by
the Teutonic delegates and agents
here and at Brest-Litovsk.
Serious differences, it was stated,
had been developed here at the con-
ference between Russian and German
commissioners to discuss exchange of
war prisoners.
Tie Germans, under Ambassador
Mirbach, are openly seeking to uti-
lie the conference for re-opening
0: German trade in Russia. Bolshe-
viii delegates have emphasized anew
their unwillingness to go beyond the
lines indicated in the armistice.

AUSTRIANS DEFEATED
British Cross Piave River And
Strike Hard Blows.
Losses Are Small Compared To Those
Inflicted On Foe-Counter o.
fensive Likely.

London, Jan. 5.-Striking swift and
hard blows against the Austrians, the
British troops operating on the Italian
front, have crossed the Piave and then
returned to the west bank.
The success of these operations car
1led out in battalion units is markell
by small losses by the British COM
pared to those of the'enemy.
These unexpected successes coming
upon the brilliant French attack and
the successes of the Italians in driv-
ing the invaders across the Piave has
led to the belief here that an exten-
sive counter-offensive is developing
against the enemy's left bank.
Austro-German airmen are keeping
up their raids on Italian open towns.
Eighteen patients in two hospitals at
Castel Franco were killed by bombs
dropped by the Teuton planes in their
latest venture.
Austrian aviators attempted to bonn
bard Venice, but were forced to turn
back when within five miles of the
city. They dropped their bombs on
military depots.
It is generally believed that the
Teutonic offensive on the Pave Is at
an end and that defensive tactics will
mark the Austrians efforts in the ima
mediate future.
Nothing but artillery activity is re-
ported from the western front.

VIOLENCE IS RESULT
Fuel Administration Powerlcss to Rem

fering-7ioting In Phila>
deIphia.

New York, Jan. 5.-Practica1ly all
the Atlantic coast, which is locked in
the grip of an unaccustomed cold, is
clamOring for coal with a frantic fuel
administration powerless to render aid
enough to alleviate suffering that has
already led to violence in Philadelphia.
The Frankfort arsenal has seized a
slipply of fuel to keep from being
forced to shut down.
Shortages of oil and gasoline
throughout the country and particular
ly the eastern section have added to
the menace of the situation. Schools
in the East are being shut down or
holiday recesses are icing extended.
Tenement dwellers in Eastern cities
are huddled together in heatless
rooms. Women are securing railroad
yards and storage spaces for stray
bits Of coal. Wealthy persons are leav-
ing their homes and going to live in
hotels and apartment houses. Office
forces are working in outdoor wraps.
Seaport towns that depend on water
transportation to handle coal are hir-
ing ice crushers to break way for the
fuel barges.
Weather fOrecasters offer little hope
of relief before the end of the week.
Rioting in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Jan. Goal riots
which began here Wednesday were re-
sumed when several hundred men.
women and children raided cars on the
|" Pennsylvania railroad siding and took
more than 80 tons of ortlraoite.
Railroad detectives were powerless be-
fore the women, who risked their lives
when an attempt was made to move
eight of the fuel laden cars.
For three hours the raiders carried
off coal in buckets and push carts and
could not be dispersed until riot call
brought detail of police, who arrest
ed the ringleaders.
State and city fuel administrators
said that the coal shortage in Phila-
delphia was beyond their control. It
is all up to Washington, both of them
said, and daily appeals are being made
to DR.. Garfield, the national fuel adj
ministrator to relieve the situation.
New York Suffering.
New York, Jan. 4.-With the tenn
perature lowering around zero for the
sixth successive day, New York is con-
fronted with fuel shortage that took
on added menace every hour as the
water surrounding the city became
coated more deeply with ice.
New England Helpless.
Boston, Jan. Anew England's coal
situation grew worse yesterday when
the steady grip of the cold virtually
stopped land transportation and
heavy blizzard off the coast put the
finishing touches on all attempts to
move fuel by water.

PROPOSALS,

Rome, Jan. 4.-The Premier an
nounced in the Senate that so tn:
the Allies have not exchanged views
upon the Austro-German peace pro-
posals. He indicated that a joint re-
ply will be decided upon at an early
date. He explained clearly why the
conditions of the proposal are not
acceptable and that their rejection
was due to no wish of the Allies 20
prolong the war.
Reliable information is to the ef-
feet that the Pope had deep per-
sonal conviction tlat the proposal
was doomed to failure, hence the non
committal attitude of the vatican.
