Vladiyostok- suppression Of
Gen. Kalmikoff, commander of the Cos
sacks on the Ussuri river front, by
joint action of the American and Jap
anese military authorities, has re-
moved an element which threatened
open hostilities at Khabarovck. The
situation had become tense. 1t had
its origin in the arrest, persecution
and execution by Kalmikoff of appar-
emily innocent inhabitants Of the re-
gion. In some instances, 1t is alleged,
the bodies of the victims of executions
were left for the dogs to eat.
Learning of the state Of affairs, the
American commander in Khabarovsk
protested to Kalmikoff and also COM
municated with Maj.4Gen William s.
Graves, the American commander In
Siberia, who consulted with Gen. Olani,
the Japanese commander. Both gen
erals Joined in warning to Kalmikoff
against his high-handed methods and
threatened that unless he ceased them
they would interfere by force.
Russians from the Khabarovsk dis
trict described the entire Ussuri region
as being in terror. On the pretext OF
searching for arms, 1t is asserted, Cos
sacks robbed and maltreated the peo-
pie. II any of them resist they are
murdered in cold blood or are arrested
on charges Of Bolsheyism and exc
cuted in squadrons. II is asserted that
in spite of cessation in the wholesale
killing Of the people, citizens continue
to disappear. The people declare that
Kalmikoff, who is 28 years old, is not
a Cossack, but was elected their leader
early in October Since then he has
the tactics Of a bandit.

Paris. According to a wireless dis
patch from the U. S. s. George WASH
ington, says Marcel Hutin, in the Echo
de Paris, President Wilson has BEEN
informed that Premier Ebert and For
eign Secretary Haase, of the Berlin
government, and Premier Eisner Of Bal
varia were about to make an effort to-
get him to visit Germany. The presil
dent is quoted as having made this req
ply:
"Only by long years OF repentance
can Germany atone for her crimes and
show sincerity. No true American
could think OF visiting Germany unless
forced to do so by strictly official OBJ
legations.

nation TO ENROLL
WITH RED CROSS
PRESIDENT, IN PROCLAMATION,
PREPARED BEFORE HIS DE-
PARTuRE.
CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL WEEK
Calls On Every American TO Join The
Red Cross During Christmas Roll
Call Meek Beginning On De-
cemher 10.


Washington. President Wilson, in .
proclamation made public, calls or
every American to join the American
Red Cross during Christmas roll cal
week, Dec. 16 to 20, "and thus send
forth to the whole human family the
Christmas greeting for which it waits
and for which it stands in greatest
need"
The proclamation, prepared before
the president departed for Europe, fol
lows:
ITO the American People:
zone year ago twenty-five million
Americans, by enrolling as members of
the Red Cross at Christmas time, sent
to the men who were fighting our bat
ties overseas, a stimulating message
OF cheer and good will. They made 1t
clear that our people were of their own
free choice united with the govern
ment In the determination, not only to
wage war with the instruments of de-
struction, but also by every means In
their power to repair the ravages Of
the invader and sustain and renew the
spirit Of the army and Of the homes
which they represented. The friends
of the American Red Gross In Italy,
Belgium and France have told, and
will tell again the story of how the
Red Cross workers restored morale in
the hospitals, in the camps, and at the
cantonments, and we ought to be very
proud that we have been permitted to
be Of service to those whose sufferings
and whose glory are the heritage of
humanity.
Nov, by Gods grace, the Red Cross
Christmas message Of 1918 is to be a
message Of peace as we'll as a message
of good will But peace does not mean
that we can fold our hands. 1t means
further sacrifice. We must prove con-
ciusively to an attentive world that
America is permanently aroused to the
needs of the new era, our old indiffer-
ence gone forever.
"The exact nature of the future SER
vice of the Red Cross will depend upon
the program of the associated govern
ments, but there is immediate need to-
day for every heartening word and for
every helpful service. We must not
forget that our soldiers and our sail
ors are still under orders and still
have duties to perform Of the highest
consequence and that the Red Cross
Christmas membership means great
deal to them. The people Of the sad
dened lands, moreover, returning
home today where there are no homes,
must have the assurance that the
hearts of our people are with them in
the dark and doubtful days ahead. Let
us. so far as we can, help them back
to the faith in mercy and In future
happiness.
"As president Of the Red Cross, con-
scious in this great honor Of the value
Of such a message from the American
people, should be glad if every Amer
lean would join the Red Cross for 1919
and thus send forth to the whole hui
man family the Christmas greeting for
which it waits and for which it stands
IN greatest need.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON"

NO WAGE REDUCTION.
Demand to Exceed supply for Years.
Says Secretary Wilson.

Says Secretary Wilson.
Washington.-No reduction in wages
can be expected for number Of ye&S'
because the demand for labor win ex-
coed the countrys supply, the house
rules committee was told by Secretary
of Labor Wilson. He appeared to urge
the completion of legislation to provide
useful and necessary public work for
discharged soldiers and Industrial
workers.
The secretary thought it would be-
only for a brief period, If at all, that
the government would have to provide
employment, but that the precaution
should be taken. He suggested extern
sive work on highways, rivers and har-
bors and public buildings under new
appropriation bills being framed by
house committees, adding: THE ge
storation Of the industries mass D
take place as fast as demobilizt VI !.
80 a reservoir of opportunities should
be created to care for men for brief
period.
From the time we restore ourselves
to our normal postwar production the
demand for labor will be SO great that
there is not a remote chance of re-
duced wage rates. The manufacturer
who does not maintain his force for
the short readjustment period will be
handicapped"
