HUNS SUSPICIOUS
OF RUSSIAN MOVE
THINK THAT DEE03ILIZATION OF
THE RUSSIAN ARMY is SIMPLY 4
SHAM MANEUVER BY TROTSKY.

) AMSTERDAM Feb. IA. - Judging
from latest indications in the German
press, much dissatisfaction with the
Russian situation has been aroused by
the latest move of Foreign Minister
Trotsky. Important military and polit-
ical leaders are said to be comforting
busily to find the best solution of the
puzzle, and recall of the economic
commission from Petrograd is said
to be under consideration.
The Zeitung Am Mittag says there is
proof that Trotskys promise of Rus
sian rehabilitation is a sham man
euvre, and it is reported that the Boil
sheviki are energetically forming a
Red Guard army.

CfaIS
 (From N. Y. American Jan. 9, 191O
 A big brownstone house at No, 123 West Seventy eighth street has just been turned into kennel for FL bridge Gerry Snow Jr.'s dogs.
 The great house with its brass knocker ane high flight of white stone steps, is going to be the last word in kennels when the architects and designers have finished their work. At the back there is a bit of a yard and d landscape gardener will take that in hand next Spring and lay it out in little runways and board walks pust right for sunny promen- ades. When Summer comes the can inc aristrocrats will, of course, be talk en to the country.
 Inside the house. every conceiv- able luxury has been provided for the dogs. The long, narrow living room on the first floor is finished after the manner of an ancient Chinese temple. There are stunning green idols and long whiskered mandarins in the dark corners. Rare antique rugs, ebony and carved teak wood furniture and an- tique glass give just the right atmos- phere. For the tiny dogs were bred in China and then imported. All this for the honor due their ancient lineage.
 Just back of the reception room Tiffany decorated this room. On the wall on one side of the room, there hangs a great tapestry that Tiffany designed for the "Yanki- Bourne" kennels. Huge green jade stones and heavy gold embroidery are massed on a background of rich scarlet. Chinese characters and the emblem of the ken ncls, taken from this design, will be used on the new stationary-made es- pecially for the small dogs.
 This is the place we had our Christmas tree for thedogs," Mrs Snow explained yesterday. You should have been here. It was a wonderful sight. No little party of children could have enjoyed a tree more than our dogs did. There were long strips of popcorn for tenn and tidbits- little matted milk tablets-for they won't hurt them, you know.
 Just to make it real Christmasy worth of presents for the dogs-Little dog toilet articles separately wrap ped for each were on the tree and helped along the fun"
