RUSSIANS MAY
DECLARE WAR
AGAINST WORLD
Continued from Page ~

Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik for
eign minister, at the conference in
Brest-Litovsk yesterday, said that in
order not to leave any possibility in
the fight for peace unutilized, the Rus
sian delegation accepted the demand
that the negotiations be continued in
Brest-Litovsk.
The chairman of the Russian dele
cation said that in full accord with
their former resolution the Russians
desired to continue the peace negotia-
tons, quite apart from the fact whether
the Entente powers participated.
Trotzky said he had noted the state
ment of the Central powers that the
basis Of a general peace as formulated
in their declaration of Dec. rs was null
and void, and added:
1--WE adhere to the principles of
democratic peace as proclaimed by
U.s."
Referring to the objection raised by
the Central powers that transfer of the
negotiations to Stockholm or some
othe neutral point, as requested by
Russia, might enable the Entente ma
tons to interfere, M. Trotzlxy said the
Bolshevik government had been con-
sistent and independent in it's peace
policy, and that there was no reason
to assume Entente diplomacy would
be able to oppose the conclusion of
peace more successfully on neutral soil
than in Petrograd.

BLIZZARD SPENT
IT'S LAST FURY
IN BRIDGEPORT

Heavy snow commencing about ia
last night followed by a driving rain
and a 50-mile an hour wind early this
morning gave Bridgeport a variety of
weather of a d;sagreeabie kind, fol-
lowed today by bright sunshine and
later by clouds which forecast more
rain Or snow. While it lasted the
storm was one of the most severe eff
the winter. The rain had the good
effect, heENRer, Of safteniaE the ice
and frozen snow upon the sidewalks
and making walking less dangerous
than it has been for a week.
Snow commenced to fall about 10
last night, at first dry and light, bat
soon changing to wet and sticky
character. For time the fall was
very heavy. During the early morn
ing the snow changed to rain, coming
down in torrents and driven by
heavy southeast wind.
Wind combined with a down peuf
and heavy sea, broke up much Of
the ice in the Sound, and cleared some
of the channels which have been
closed to navigation for more than a
week.
Street car traffic was hampered for
| a time, and the wind broke a large
plate glass window in Longley's res
taurant at Fairfield avenue and
| Water street.

ALLOTMENTFOR
THRIFT ST AMPS
MADE IN STATE
Maricopa County Expected
to Take $94S,420 Worth
of Stamps During Great
Campaign Under Way

Eight thousand dollars month will
be spent in war saving stamps by en-
ployes of the United Verde mine alone
according to advices received yester-
day by H. R. Tritle, Arizona state di-
rector, from Robert Talley, general
manager of the great Clark mine at
Jerome.
Talley said that he had put the mat
ter of buying stamps up to the miners
and that they had notified him thar a
certain amount might be deducted from
their wages each month for the pur-
chase of the stamps.
Mr.. Tritle reports that the war stamp
sale campaign is being well organized
throughout the state and will soon be
in full swing. He says Bisbee plans to
collect $1,000,000 during the period of
the campaign. This decision was
reached after a meeting of Bisbee citi-
Gems.
From Tucson Mr. Tritle received ad-
vices that there were actually sold dur =
ing January in Tucson $4,000 worth of
stamps. Tucson and Maricopa are run
ming about even thus far, $4,000 worth
of stamps being the approximate total
of stamps sold in this county during
January.
The campaign is just getting start
ed said Mr.. Tritle, January being the
first month, and only a month of or
ganization at that. Arizona has a large
amount to raise through the sale of
stamps before the campaign closes and
no time should be wasted by those in
terested in the campaign"
AriZona's quota of war saving stamps
is S5,62s,742. This amount is divided
among the fourteen counties, according
to population. 1t is estimated by Mr..
Irlue that every person in Arizona in
order to meet the quota on per capita
basis should buy $40 worth of stamps
He estimates that 100000 worth of
stamps should be sold in the larger
counties, such as Maricopa, every
month before the hot weather sets in
1t is not expected that the sale swill be
so large after school closes and the
population scatters for the summer
Marlcopa's part of the amount to be
raised by Arizona is $94S,420. Cochise
has the largest amount to raise. or
S951,252. Pima has $627,495 to raise
The Arizona war savings committee
yesterday prepared the following table
showing what each county must raise
to fill AriZOna'S quota.

There was some shifting of the
scenery about the capitol building yes.
terday and some changes Of roles.
Lamar Cobb ceased to be state engi-
ncer an eventuality for which he had
paved the way with all the skill with
which in times past he has paved the
highway. Mr.. Cobb had placed the
skids under himself with forethOught
and care that gave him assurance Of
quick transportation. He had more
over put his resignation into the hands
of the governor two weeks ago, in the
way of clearing the decks for the lit
erary career upon which he was about
to engage.
Governor Hunt accepted the resigna-
ton yesterday and named B. w. At
wood to fill the vacancy. MIR. Atwood
has been connected with the state en-
gineer's office almost ever since its
establishment, except during the pc
riod Of Governor Campbelrs admins
tration. lie has more recently been
in charge of the road work being con-
Quoted by the engineers office. Mr..
Atwood, it was generally understood,
would be appointed in succession to
Mr.. Cobb.
But the most surprising change of
all was that which followed upon the
resignation Of Chairman Homer Wood
Of the commission of state institutions.
The resignation of Mr.. Wood, it was
learned yesterday, had for some time
been in the hands of the governor; in
fact, ever since the meeting of the COM
mission at Tucson nearly two weeks
ago. It was explained that Mr.. Wood
resigned merely because he did not
like the job and had never wanted it;
it was understood it is said, when he
accepted it, that his tenure was to be
brief. And matters have so fallen out,
what with the conflict with the state
engineers office and the board of
regents that Mr.. Wood did not like
the job any better than he had expected
he would.

Wife by Perjury
Is Charge Which
Brown Must Face

Alleging that he secured his wife
by perjury, James n. Myles has
caused the arrest of |. S. Brown,
claiming that the latter made an
affidavit that Ollie Myies was 10
years of age in order that he might
secure a marriage license without
the consent of the girls parents. The
couple were married by Judge Stan
ford on Monday and yesterday
Myles swore to a complaint against
the young husband charging him
with perjury. He was arraiened
before Justice De Souza and fur
nished the $500 bail placed by the
court. The preliminary hearing was
set for 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
February 10.
According to the complaint sworn
to by Myles the girl-wife has not yet
reached the age OF IS and Brown
swore to the false age in order that
it might not be necessary for her to
secure her parents consent to Sc
cure marriage license.

The Unkindest Cut Of All
Mr. Cobb INDUCED in some comment
on the events of the day. This is not
the first time" said he that a sub
marine chaser has encountered disas-
ter" This was a figure of speech
which is better understood when he
has familiarized himself with what Mr.
Cobb had already contributed to the
literature of disturbance in which he
had charged the commission of state
institutions with submarine methods.
Continued Mr.. Cobb, But the un-
kindest cut of all was the attempt to
rob me of the honor of having designed
the craft" That is in. reference to a
statement by Attorney f. c. Struck
meyer of the commission that the re-
cent production of Mr. Cobb camou-
flaged the literary skill of some other
