Cities ls Report.

Petrograd, Jan. 3.-Overthrow OF
the autocratic regime of Germany is
limited by NJ. Kammeneff, member of
Litovsk peace conference. He asserts
if the Teuton powers insist on the
terms they have laid down Russia will
conclude peace with the people of
Germany after throwing aside the i'm

understanding has been reached by
the masses for concerted action

Petrograd, Jan. 3.-The Brest-Li-
tovsk peace conference broke up with
Russian delegates haunting the Ger.

junkerdom, according to returning
B0lsheviki members.
The Germans, it is said, expressed
their willingness to evacuate all of
White Russia, but announced flat re-
fusal to withdraw from Riga, Libau
or other of the big cities, except in the
event of general peace.
Scheme Scented by Russians.
The scheme, as the Russian dele
gates saw it, was for the Germans to
keep great bodies of troops in these
sections until, as provided under other
sections of the proposed agreement,
the people of those territories had vot-
ed on their future government.
Under such a German system of
garrisoning the Russians felt there
would be entirely too much German
influence exerted on the voters.

Russian members declared open.

tween Russians and Germans on ex
changes of prisoners the Russian dele
gates demanded that all German So
ciaiists imprisoned in Germany be re-
leased.

An automatic clocl<-Work torpedo
for chasing and destroying submar-
ines has been invented by Rev. Thorn
as J. Flynn of Beaver Falls, Pa. The
flying fish torpedo will loop the loop
and dip the dip under the sea. The
wings and fins are used as diving rud'
ders and are controlled by clock work.
The side wings or rudders give buoy
ancy and support to the torpedo.
These rise and flap like the wings OF
bird or flying fish, and make the
torpedo rise or dive by transon lev.
er working automatically within the
torpedo. The TORPEDO is propelled by
a gasoline motor and will run for
hours.

A party Of children in one Of the res.
idence sections of the city discovered a
sparrow the other day with its feet and
wings stuck fast in a puddle Of crude
oil boiled out of a paved street by the
recent hot sunshine. The youngsters
thought the bird dead. Stanley Schmet-
ger, an aggressive leader Of the young
sters of the neighborhood, proposed a
funeral with all Of its accompanying
formalities.
Young Schneider, not yet 10 years
old, proceeded to telephone and called
s Z. Bartmess. Mr. Bartmess likes a
joke, and when he comprehended the
situation, he proceeded to the scene.
H found that the unfortunate sparrow
was not dead, but too badly injured to
survive. He dispatched it.
Now, said Mr. Bartmess, 1--WE
will dig the grave, and the bird was
borne solemnly to a backyard garden.
We must have funeral, said Mr..
Bartmes, when that task was accom-
plished. Stanley, you II have to act as
the minister and offer prayer.
The little boy was equal to the occa-
sion. He doffed his cap, and kneeling
beside the dead bird, enveloped in
wreaths Of flowers, said with utmost
gravity
Oh God, please bless the undertaken
1 for killing the sparrow. "
