LEVINE MAY GO
TO STOCKHOLM

London, Jan. 11-Nikolai Lenine,
the BolsheViki premier, although he
has possibly gone on holiday to
Finland. also possibly may go to
Stockholm to confer with German and
Austrian Socialists, the Petrograd
correspondent of the Daily News says.
In speech before his departure from
Petrograd, Premier Lenine said:
Il fear we shall have to stop the
rehabilitation and prepare for war. If
Germany and her allies do not accept
our conditions of peace. we will de-
clare Il revolutionary war on them"
The correspondent emphasizes the
importance of an agreement between
the Bolshcviki and Ukrainian nego-
tiators as the position of the Rada has
lessened Trotzky's chances of obtain
ing q satisfactory peace. The CORE
spondent adds that nothing is more
foolish than to suppose that because
the Ukraine opposes the Bolsheviki it
therefore fayors the Allies and prose-
cution of the war

.END|COTT PRAISES
MASS. FOOD SAVING

Boston, Jan. 1.-THE hotels and res
taurants. OF this state lead the country
in food saving, according to a state
ment received today by State Food
Administrator Henry b. Endicott from
John Mckee Bowman, head of the ho-
tel division of the administration of
Washington.
IF the hotels and restaurants of
the whole country were saving meats
and wheat flour at the rate that now
obtains in Massachusetts" Mr.. Bow
man said, their savings would send
to our armies and to our associates
in this war several shiploads of meat
and wheat -four every week.
During the month of November the
hotels and restaurants Of Massacl1u-
sets saved 3.151,79O pounds of meat;
926,966 pounds of wheat flour and 1874
rs pounds of sugar. If the hotels and
restaurants throughout the country
saved in the same proportion it would
amount to 1880 tons of meat per week
and 1880 barrels of wheat flour.
This saving in Massachusetts, so
far as we can determine, Is at least
one fifth Of all the meats and almost
one tenth of all the wheat flour saved
in the United States during the month
Of November"

100000 PAYMENTS
ALREADY FROM WAR
RISK" APPROPRIATION

Washington, Jan. 1.-Some 100000 pay
ments already have been made from the
S176, 10000 war risk" appropriation which
the government has provided for the pro-
lection of the nations fighting men and
their dependents.
All enlisted men under the law muss
contribute not more than 80 per cent. or
their pay for the support OF their imme-
date families. On application the gov
eminent will add to this allotment an al
lowance of it's own of from S. to $50 a
month, according to the size of the family,
but the man must contribute an equal
amount.
II an enlisted man or an officer of an
army or navy nurse should be disabled
by injuries or disease contracted in the
line of duty the government will pay such
person fixed compensation of from $50 to
500 month. or if he should die the gov
eminent will pay the wife, child, or wild
owed mother fixed compensation of from
$50 to $15 a month. In these payments the
government draws no distinction between
officers and enlisted men as the compen-
sation is not based on the pay of the man.
In addition to family allowances during
the war and compensation for disability
and death, the law provides that soldiers,
sailors marines ana nurses may buy from
the government insurance against death
and disability at very low rates.

PROSPECT OF FIGHT
For Mexican Oil Fields
Causes International
Interest

Washington, Jan. 11.-IncreaSed in
ternational interest in Mexico's affairs
has followed the receipt here of unoffi-
cial information that President Car
rama is considering 4 plan to drive
Manuel Palace from control of the
Tampico oil fields. Private reports
forecast an early resumption of mill
tary operations against Palace but
there is also information indicating
that the Mexican government is at
tempting to deal with the situation
through political changes. Palace is re-
ported to have declared that so ioag
as Candida Aguilar remained at the
head of the Vera Cruz state govern
ment he would continue in revolt. Car
rama is being urged by some of his
advisers to transfer Aguilar to the min
istry of foreign affairs in the hope that
it might solve the problem of the oil
fields domination.
Bandit or revolutionary activities in
northern Mexico have becomme so pro
nounced recently as to make resump-
ton of threatened military action at
Tampico seem improbable. State de-
partment and diplomatic representa-
tives here of the Entente are keenly
interested in the situation because or
the danger to the oil supply involved
in any fight that might be wase1 for
the mastery of the fields.
Unofficial advices from Mexico. sup
ported in part by reports to the state
department, indicate an increase in or

country. Carranza is said 10 have COM
