BOisheuik Outbreaks
On Trans Siberian
Roil,vay Suppressed

Nladivostok, Dec. 26 (by The Asso-
ciatcd Press) The Bolshcviki arc dis
playing activity at various points on
the Trans-Sibcran Railway, apparently
with the object of overthrowing Ad-
miral kolchak, the dictator at Omsk.
At Tchita, lrkutsk, Omsk and Krasnoy-
arsk outbreaks have been suppressed by
the Kolchak forces, most of whom
proved loyal, although many went over
to the Bolsheviki
At the Wamarchaga Station, thirty
miles east Of Krasnoyarsk, a thousand
Bolsheviki seized the railway and en-
trcnched thselvcs to give battle to
Russian and Serbian troops sent from
Omsk. The result Of the engagement
has not as yet been learned.
Prince Golitin, with guard of
American soldiers, has arrived here
with large amount of Russian currency
for the Omsl. government. Many com
plications attend the delivery of the
money, not the least Of which is the
problem Of transportation under the
present dsoredercd condition of the
railway, while the transformation of
the Omsk government since the ship
ment LETT Washington raises the oues-
ton of the propricty of completing its
delivery. Meanwhile, the currency re-
mains on board the steamer which
brought the Prince.

In many respects the triumph of
Lloyd George at this months elections
in Great Britain is perhaps the most
noteworthy of his many political vic
tories, which carried him from the
obscure position of a country lawyer
at Llanys tymdwy. Wales, to the pre-
miership OF England. For in the
struggle just closed Lloyd George was
laced by an opposition that was elusive
and the true nature and extent of which
could not be ascertained.
Undoubtedly Lloyd Georges strong
est card was his service to his country
AID the Allies during the war, for in
the days when things looked darkest
for the Allies it was Lloyd George who
united all the forces Of the nation, who
like "the sweet singer Of Israeli
cheered the fanting hearts Of his coun-
trymen, and like David of old went
forth to Stay the Goliath of German
miltarism.
His Gigantic Feats
Lloyd George transformed all the in
dustries of Great Britain into one huge
munition factory, raised an army of
100000 men and 5,000,O0O war work
ers." provided for the building Of 400O,-
ooJ tons of shipping, turned the big
estates of English gentry into truck
gardens, to help defy the work of Ger
man submarines in their efforts to
stalve England, and put through the
CONSUMPTION system, thing hitherto
lepugnant to the British m md.
In the days of the collapse of Russia
and the defeat of Italy at Caporetto
Lloyd George rallied his people in the
eanda, rushed troops to Italy and to
Siberia, halted the Italian retreat, and
made possible the transport of 1000, 900
American troops to the western front.
the thing that broke the Kaiser's back
and sent Germany Keeling into the
oblivion OF defeat.
Lloyd Georges constructive career
began in 1908 when he enterd the AS
quith Cabinet as Chancellor of the
EXchequer- In 1909 he fought the great
budget battle" of that year, a struggle
in which he routed the House of Lords

PORK PIT on Free List
To Neutral Countries

WASHINGTON. Dec 29.-The need Of
northern European neutral countries
for cheat generatng' winter foods will
be met through expectations of nork
and pork products from the United
States, the War Trade Board announced
to-day.
Pork and pork products, it was an
nounced, will hereafter be on the War
Trade Board free list ~for export to
Norway Sweden, Denmark and Holland.
Norway and Sweden especially require
these foods and there is now an ade-
quatc supply of them in the United
States. Placing them on the free list
means that license for their export will
be granted freely, and it was announced
that no import licenses from country Of
destination will be necessary.
The board also placed on the free list
for export to the same nations-lron
and steel and manufactures thereof
except high speed steel These exports
were halted by the necessities of war
and their resumption opens the wav to
the establishment of normal trade
conditions in this direction.

sistent demand for Preparation, rcsti-
tuition and guarantees as we'll as his
support of President Wilson'S four
teen points and clear exposition of the
aims of the Allies in the war, were in
no small measure responsible for the
failure of German diplomacy in it's
efforts to lure the Allies INTO prcma-
ture discussions.
An Able Diplomat
His able diplomacy helped TO cement
the ties between the Allies through
the long months OF struggle when at
times it seemed that The cause Of the
Allies was a hopeless one. Just as he
fought arbitrary elements a, home that
threatened the unity OF the Allies, so
did he fight those sinister Influences in
Allied countries that sought to cause a
breach within the alliance, and he sue
cccded in this when he advocated and
accomplished the formation of the Su-
preme War Council at Versailles
Throughout the war 1T was Lloyd
Georges "punch,' indomitablc energy
and unshakablc faith in the ultimate
triumph of the Allied cause that went
long way in cementing the forces of
his own nation and the Allies in the
face OF many disasters and discour-
agements and finally brought the VIC
tory Of the Entente.

was learned to- day, has issued an order
that every doughboy in the army of

found troops often billetcd in one
room where many were sleeping on
an ordinary blanket on the floor A
careful inspection Of the occupied area
has shown that there are enough beds,
with little shutting of the civilian
population, to provide everybody with
comfortable quarters.
