Russia Sends Note To Wilson
Offering To Talk Peace

Washington, Dec. 27.-Increase of al
lied military forces in Russia for po-
Icing, but no intervention, was today
given serious thought here and abroad.
The disposition here is against large
scale intervention lest that should de-
velep into war. The whole problem,
however, is likely to crystalline now
that President Wilson has --nsulted
with British leaders.
Rumors have been current here that
another American division would be
sent, with four allied divisions, to in
crease the forces in Russia. These sto-
ries lack confirmation.
Some effort is being made to ''smokc

Are Encouraging Private Con.
Germs To Build CONNER
cial Planes.

London, Dec. l4.-(By mail. The
British government may subsidize the
air industry to give it the necessary fl
|naneial stability for rapid peace time
commercial development.
The air subsidy plan is being consid
Iered by the air ministry among other
proposals.
Under the subsidies it is hoped pri.
vate concerns soon would he building
thousands Of commercial planes and op.
Grating them as mail and passenger car
rying vehicles. This, it is pointed out,
would insure employment to thousands
of expert aviators trained during the
war. Furthermore, it would enable
Great Britain at all times to have All
immense airfleet at her disposal, to
gether with the necessary trained av.
iators.
The success Of the subsidy plan as it
was worked out in connection with the
merchant marine and the motor lorries
is being cited as one argument in fav'
or of air subsidies. When war was de
clared Great Britain had at her dis
posal thousands of merchant craft
many of which quickly were transform
ed into fighting ships. Everybody re-
members the hundreds Of motor lorries
which were sent to France from Lon
don and other cities. The lorries are
much like the motor busscs used on
Fifth avenue, New York.
