5olsheviki Scatter Paper
Money Among Returning
Prisoners in Effort to
Gain Allegiance.

Warsaw, Dec. 25.-The focks Of
released Russian prisoners who are
making their way homeward
through Poland, all of whom appear
to be tainted with bolshevism and
are recognized as danger in this
respect by the Polish authorities,
are in fact already causing much
trouble by their lawlessness in their
search of food.
The bolsheviki are taking advan-
,age of the penniless plight of these
first thousands of released prison.
ers whose total number is estimated
at 100000 and have picked up sew
eral thousand of them for their
army by offering the men clothes,
food and money, of the last of which
there is plenty, since the bolsheviki
control the printing presses for the
production of rubles.
Bolshevik Emissaries Arrested.
The first important arrests have
just been made of bolshevik ennis
saries who are arriving from Russia
with millions of rubles for the our
pose OF agitation ana A'e spending
several thousands of rubles daily.
-Four men were taken in custody on
this occasion. They claimed they
had the right to spend their money
as freely as they, pleased. They ale

Russian Jews, nearly all of them
bearing passports issued by Count
kessler, who was expelled from here
a week ago as representative of
the Berlin government. They were
sent here by Leon Trotsky, as men,

cation, claiming that their mission
was the care of Russian prisoners
With the Russian rubles flowing so

1t is a mistake to assume that it
will die with hunger, because that
is what it started with. At the
present time there is no food in the
cities and towns, no tobacco, no salt
and no sugar.
"The bolsheviki began by robbing
and killing the mobiles and the rich.
Then they attacked the bourgeois,
the merchants. Now they are reach
ing the bottom and trying to rob
each other
Relief, however, seems to be COM
ing from the south. General Skor-
opadski, the deposed hetman OF the
Ukraine, and the French troops are
advancing from Odessa and it is
believed the Ukrainian situation VIII
soon be under control. Petlufa,
with his army of peasants and also
the French are moving upon kiev,
where order soon is expected to

peace conference when it opens will
rot be unlike those marking the
opening of a new congress in the
United States or national conven-
ton. In the first the house clerk
determines the tentative membership
and in the second the committee on
credentials prepares a tentative list
of delegates. At the peace confer
ence delegates must be prepared to
present adequate credentials from
their legislature, king, president or
other executive authority.
1t is considered probable several
countries on the tentative list will
be closely restricted at the Begin
ming, when broad questions of policy
will be outlined. But additions to
the list of delegates may be made
later when the conference gets down
to details and general principles,
Still later another class of nations
may be admitted, including the CEN
trail powers, to lay the foundations
for the formal signing of peace
treaties.
Theoretically these questions are
subject to mutual examination and
challenge in case of doubt but &C
tually in the forthcoming confer
ence the United States, Great Brit
ain, France, Italy and later perhaps.
Belgium, by reason of sentimental
considerations, probably will reach
an understanding as to the admis-
sion of delegates.
Neutrals May Be Admitted.
The neutral powers probably will
be allowed to participate when the
stage is reached where it is desirable
there should be worldwide adop-
ton of the plans prepared at the

nent settlement of war issues and

said, would come back early.
The Rehabilitation, said the
minister, should be so conducted
that millions of men in the army

portunity of employment. Accord

requirements had been prepared. -.
AS men are demobilized they will
be re-emp1oyed in the various indus
tries from which they were with
drawn to enter the army. There
will be special faculties giving
access to the land, said DR.. ADD

be provided.
Councils, composed of employers
and workingmen, have been organ
lied in 40 or so different trades. Al
ready these bodies are removing
sources of irritation and bringing in
spirit of solidarity, better spirit
than prevailed under former agree
ments, said the minister.
Inasmuch as the necessity for pro-
ducing as much food as possible will
rot end with the war, DR.. Addison
said, he believed some control over
the use of the land would continue
to be exercised by the government.
Great Britain should manufacture
nitrates for manure on large scale.
The minister declared that unless
care was exercised there would be

 After nearly ten years on the West coast and in the Orient. EnderIy had come home. That gracious feeling of belonging somewhere surged through his heart as he Str0lled down the drive of his modest estate underneath the stars. It was good to be back again. and he smiled as he leaned against the stone column of the gate listening to the music that Syncopated through the night from the country club some three hundred wards down the road.
 They were d; ncing. The youngsters had probably 0Verrun the place aft.'l all these years, and then he laughed to himself. for he had been one of the youngsters at the time of his leaving. and those wh0 were kids then, were the youngsters of today.
 The lure of the music drew him down the road and he entered the club grounds and stood in the shadows of the great trees. The swaying couples circled past the long windows, the light dresses of the girls swinging wide on the turns. The music ceased, there was a ripple ot upplause-and then the music started again. A white tig ure slipped out Of he door, stood hesi- tantly at the tOp OI the steps and then descended.
