Covington, KY, March ia crowd
estimated at 10000, which included

Washington, March 19.-President
Wilson has issued proclamation IL
censing jobbers and wholesalers In
coal and coke after April /, and Fuel
Administrator Garfield announced
regulations to govern the conduct Of
their business in the future.
The action is taken to prevent i'm
proper practices which have grown
up in the selling of coal since the
government undertook to regulate the
industry.
Among abuses which have develop
ed was the organization OF affiliated
companies solely for the purpose OF
collecting the jobber's margin, the
swapping of COAL" and other fiticious
trade operations which swelled the
profits Of the jobbers and increased
the cost OF the fuel to the consumer.

Press AssaiIs Move by Allies as
"Piracy," misuse of Power"
And "Act OF Violence"
U. S. WATTS FOR REPLY
Delays Actual Taking Over of Vessels
Pending Receipt of Cable--Mean-
while Plans for Operation Go
Steadily Forward.

Washington, March 19.-Plans for
operation of the Dutch shipping which
was acquired by the United States and
Great Britain, either voluntarily agree
ment or requisition, were going for
ward steadily late Monday while the
governments awaited reply of Holland
to the demand that she accede to the
terms of the contract which Germany
blocked, or suffer seizure of all her
tonnage in American and British
waters.
Hollands reply. which has been dis
patched to London, is expected by Of
ficials to conclude the negotiations
there at once. Seizure of the ships
in American waters will be delayed,
however, until the reply is received
here.
Press AssaIls Seizure.
The Hague, March 19.-It is impos-
sible for Holland to give an affirma-
tive answer to the Entente's propos-
ais concerning Dutch ships, says the
Nieuwe Courant.
'It is an act of violence" IL adds,
"to which we are subjected by the
rulers Of the ocean and nothing makes
us so bitter as the attempt being
made to base IL on the socalled rule
of international law-the antiquated
Angary law-which is in no wise ap-
plicable here"
The Tyjd says: 1--WE shall have to
acquiesce, but such rough misuse of
power will not be forgotten by our
people"
Diplomatic Break Hinted.
| In an article vehemently denounc.
| ing the Allies, the Handelsblad says:
1--WE cannot think what our govern,
ment will do. Will it publish a protest
refusing to give its approval to piracy
| and leave the matter as 1t Is, or will
IT make the best of bad job and make
an exchange for what will be taken
away? If it is not exchanged, will II
request the ministers os these pirat
| ical powers to pack their trunks and
depart? We should not lose much
thereby.
1--WE do not know what the govern
ment will do and would not wish tc
advise it. AS such a moment, II mus
be left to the governments discretion
to take that decision which Is least
harmful to the country and the peo
pie"
Admits U-eoats Unopposed.
In the same article. however, the
Handelsblad admits that 1t is unfor
tunatcly true that Holland is the only
northern neutral which has done moth
ing to combat the German submarine
methods. 1t attributes the country.
present position to the spirit which
has dictated such an attitude.
The Telegraaf advocates acceptanc,
or the offer of the Entente govern
ments, adding: Hollands existence a
a free and Independent nation an,
the possession of its colonies are a
stake. BY choosing the right patl
the government has 1t in it's powe
to maintain the liberty of the natiol
or irrevocably deliver it to the mere,
of Germany, which in it's bid for worl

London, March 19.-Having occu-
pied Odessa and Nikolayev, import
ant naval grain ports, the Germans in
southern Russia continue their ad-
vance northward from the Black sea
toward Kherson, an important COM
mercial center and capital of the
province OF the same name. The all
Russian congress of soviets has de-
clared Moscow to be the Russian cap
ital and it is said that all government
and military effects have been re-
moved from Petrograd. The bolshe-
vik leaders, although they urged and
obtained ratification of the German
peace treaty, are said to have little
hope that the treaty will bring peace
and are calling upon the local soviets
to form military organizations with
which to combat the Germans should
their invasion continue further into
the heart of Russia.
Petrograd, March 10. Officially
Russia has retired from the war.
The pansoviet congress, at Moscow,
consisting of 1000 representatives of
workmen, soldiers, peasants and Co.'S
sacks, overwhelmingly voted ratifica-
ton of the German dictated peace
terms adopted at Brest Litovsk.
The action was a foregone conclus-
ion. The Bolshevik faction, which
dominated the congress, under the
leadership Of Premier Lenine, prev
iously had cast 453 ballots in favor
of ratification at a factional caucus.
Vote Disrupts Cabinet.
The vote, If the announced determ.
ination Of the social revolutionary
commissaries is carried out, auto
matically disrupts the present Rus
sian cabinet. These mini%ers, fol
lowing the example of Justice Com
missary Steinberg, temporarily retired
from the cabinet pending settlement
OF the peace question at Moscow
They declared their intention of max
ing the requirements permanent in
case the pact was ratified.
Steinberg openly stated that the
pansoviet must tear up the Brest
Litovsk treaty and create the neces
sary government for defense.
Meanwhile, in Petrograd, Leor
Trotsky, in his new role as war com
missary, was pushing the work o.
creating q new Russian army.
Germany knows robber peace
cannot last" he explained in state
msnt.
Hear Wilson's Message.
Previously to voting on the peace
treaty, the Moscow congress listened
to President Wilson's message o
sympathy to Russia. The messag'
was received in silence. broken onl.
by murmurings regarding the Japan
ese situation.
Then the congress adopted resc
luton in reply, directed to the worl
at large, and urging the internationa

and establish a socialist government
