RED CROSS WAR FUND TOTAL FOR WARREN
 DISTRICT OVER 7O,0OO- NEARLY TREBLES QUOTA!

Warren district nearly tripled in the great Red Cross war drive. Not quite. but nearly tOur quota was S25,0O0 and we raised a little over SEQ. 0.0O0 A wonderful showing. Over 6,00O individual subscriptions. At the final dinner at the Y last night the total was computed and the results given out to some 100 loyal workers and their guests. It was Q happy din ner, and pride shOne in the eyes Of those same workers, and their nap piness over the great accomplishment was marked in their voices while they told of the charge over the top and the taking or the third line intrench- ments.
 It is as unfair as it is impossible to praise or give credit to any one individual or set of individuals. It was a community exploit. A general response. An outpouring of patriot ism throughout the district. The men in the mines vied with the merchants and the mine owners and the clerks and the doctors and the citizens gen. erally. And the women worked as hard and as we'll as the men.
 The second Red Cross war fund has been raised and almost tripled. The week of May 20 to 27 may be marked with a red circle on the white paper 10 designate an epoch in the war work of the district. The following is a continuation of the list of names of the donors brought uptodate of tab ulation, which will be completed and presented to the last name tomorrow morning, or certainly the morning after:

to Cut Out Unnecessary Travel.

To free locomotives and crews for

tation, 20 per cent of the through
passenger trains on the eastern rail
roads were ordered to be discontinue
ed Sunday by approval. of Director
General McAdoo. The running sched-
ule of others were ordered reduced to
lower speed to facilitate the move
ment of freight trains. :.
This policy announced Saturday night
by the director general, will be gradual
ly extended to affect train service
throughout the country. Fast trains
between New York and Chicago and
st. Louis, and between Chicago and
Southern and Western points probably
will be the next to be affected. 1ndi-
vidual railroads will take the initia-
tive in suggesting curtailments, but
these will be approved by the direc-
tor-general in most cases.
In approving new passenger sched-
ules Mr.. McAdoo ordered number
of notifications, resulting in reten-
tion of more parlor cars than the rail
roads had planned.
Mr.. McAdoo appealed to the public
in a statement Saturday night to re-
frain from travel as much as posi-

trains or others necessary for proper
maintenance of business life in cities
will be eliminated.

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS
Peace Negotiations Temporarily
Suspended by Germans-Con-
siderable Activity in Arras Sec

The peace negotiations between the
Central powers and the BolsheviH
government in Russia have been ITEM
porarily suspended" by the Germans.
! From the meagre advices received
it appears that the rock upon which |
a continuation of the pourparlers split
was the demand of the Russians that
the conference be resumed at Stock
holm, instead of at Brest-Litovsk.
Dissatisfied with the proposals for
peace made by the Teutonic allies be-
| fore their recess the Brest-Litovskl
conference, Leon Trotzky, the Boil
sheviki foreign minister had been in
sistent on the deliberations being held
on neutral soil instead of at the Ger
man eastern headquarters. The Ger
mans, however, had been equally as
firm in their determination not to
treat with the Russians at any other
place than Brest-Litovsk.
the effect that the Bolsheviki dele
gates on finding that the representa-
! tives of the Teutonic allies were at
Brest-Litovsk awaiting them, had
started for this town, but nothing has
come through to show that these Al
any foundation in fact. The decision
of the Germans to discontinue the sit
: tings was arrived at during a crown
council held in Berlin Saturday Wnicn
: was attended by Field Marshal Won
: Hinderburg and General Won Luden-
r dorff, first quartermaster general
$ A belated dispatch from Berlin
gives as the reason for the refusal OF
e the Germans to consider Stockholm a
: place where peace might be advant.
n ageously discussed was the fear that
n British, French and American a:plo
h mats in the Swedish capital would by
: intrigue render all endeavors futile.
+ Dispatches from Berlin indicate thai
r although the Reichstag parties in tn.
e main are supporting the government
lent and that strong efforts are beins
d made to hold the socialists in line
The socialist organ in Berlin cl,arac
terizes the situation as extraordinar,
serious.
Considerable Activity on Front.
Although the weather continues col
and much snow lies on the ground i
" northern France, there has been cor
" siderable activity by the infantry i
, the Arras sector, in Flanders and o
K the eastern part of the front along tn
Moselle river. Near Bullecourt tn
British have recaptured in a counter
attack the sap taken from them Sal
a. urday by the Germans. There wel
+ y intermittent artillery duels Sunda
~ u, along the entire battle front.

ne nc of both sides are hammering away
~ the lower Piave river. Several a
&c tempts by the Austro- Germans

ne ne ments between the Brenta and Il

Fire at Pastime Quickly Extin-
guished.

Fire which started from an oil stove
in the office Of Mr.. H. H. Anderson,
in the rear of the Pastime theatre
building, Elm street, at 2 o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon was extinguished be-
fore serious damage was done. It is
supposed the oil stove exploded. The
office, small room, was practically
air tight and when Mr. Anderson op-
ened the door to the office the flames
spread rapidly. He managed to get
the stove out of the building and had
extinguished the flames before the
fire company arrived on the scene.
Mr.. Anderson's hands were badly
burned and Master Lenox Thompson
who works at the theatre, also burn
ed his hands. The office and fixtures
was damaged around $75.
The show had opened when the fire
occurred and quite a number of peo-
pie were in the building.
