WELL IN HAND

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Favorable
report on the situation in the Arch
angel region of Russia where some un-
official accounts have pictured the
north Russian. allied and American
forces as facing destruction at the
hands of Bolsheviki in overwhelming
numbers have been given to the state
department by G.. A. Martiuszine, rep
resentative here of the Archangel gov
ernment. 1t was officially stated to-
day that Mr.. Martiuszine had con-
ferred with acting secretary Polk and
that his Information showed the situa-
ton well in hand from the view point
of the allies.
According to these reports the Boil
sheviki soldiers are differed by Ger
mans and consequently are able to
make good use OF their artillery and
rapid fire guns, but they have no
stomachs for fighting that does not
keep them at a distance from their
opponents.
The attitude of the peasant in the
region of Moscow is alarming the Len
inc government, according to the
Petrograd correspondent of the Paris
Journal. Early in December he re-
ports the peasants actively revolted
and it was a week before they were
subdued.

LABOR POSSIBLE
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The British
war cabinet is considering a proposal
which may have an important bear
ms on future labor questions through
out the world. according to the Ex-
press. The proposal is to ask the
peace conference, at one of its earli-
est sessions tc appoint commission
to inquire into the question of an in
ternational adjustment of conditions
of employment and to submit plans
for a permanent international court
nd organization to secure joint action
ir such matters.
'It is certain" says the newspaper,
that the suggestion will be adopted
and 1t is also certain it will result in
ar organization. as part of an active
league of naions to prepare the way
for international regulation of condi-
tions of employment, which would be
death blow to sweating The
French government is cordially SYM
pathetic toward the proposal. Two or
three employers of labor and an equal
number of workmen's representa-
tives will probably accompany the
British delegation to the conference
as advisers in the labor matter"

enemy aliens interned here during the

submitted measure to Congress for
the deportation OF dangerous aliens.

room. He was considered the most
dangerous alien in Richmond.
During his Incarceration in the
Richmond city Jail here awaiting
action by the federal authorities, Huel-
ler tried to obtain his freedom on bail.

camp with a pair of pliers that had
been smugg,ed into the enclosure.

UNEASINESS over |
Difference IN VIEW !
SHOWN BY THE PRESS
(By Associated Prcss)

LONDON. Dec 31-Morning news
papers give great and equal promi-
nence to the speech of Premier Glenn
enceau before the French chamber of
deputies and President Wilson's ad.
dress at Manchester. BY their head
lines and by placing in juxta position
the striking passages and by their
comment the newspapers reveal a GER
apparent divergence between M. Clen-
enceau and Mr.. Wilson.
There is an obvious endeavor. how
ever, to avoid anything suggesting the
existence Of substantial disagree
ment or promoting anxiety, Jegarding
the conference. Their desire seems
mainly to show that NJ. Clemenceau' s
standpoint is not SO remote from Mr..
Wilson's as might appear at first sight
and that any differences that exist
ought to be arranged with pains and
patience. NJ. Clemenceau's version of
Mr.. Wilson's comment on the British
fleet receives much prominence.
The Chronicle says: president
Wilson's speech at Manchester
brought out what perhaps are the es-
sential points in league of nations,
namely common devotion to right, that
it must be world wide and including
all and that it must have continuing
machinery"
Endorsing ard emp phasizing these
points. the paper thinks the peace
conference should be regarded as the
first session of body which will re-
convene from time to time in per-
petuity Thus, it would, the news
paper says, itself become automatic
ally league for unless it does SO, it's
work will ultimately be torn up by
fresh wars"
