BOLSHEVlKI MAY DECLARE
WAR ON CENTRAL POWERS
Refusal Russian Peace Terms to Force Alternative, De-
clares Premier Lenine- -Austro- German Comment
on Wilson's Message Hostile -Trotzky Loses
Contention for Stockholm.

London (Thursday), Jan. 10.
"A majority of the Cossacks
and the population of the Don
district are grouping themselves
around the Don military govern
ment under Gen. Kaledines, ac-
cording to special dispatch from
Petrograd.
Gen. Kaledines' principal aim
is not to fight the bolshevik, but
to consolidate democratic repub-
lican power of the Don district.
Peace negotiations between Russia
and the central powers will be con-
tinued at Brest- Litovsk, according to
Information at Amsterdam, apparent
Iy despite a vigorous protest by Leon
Trotzky, the boIshevik foreign minis
ter, who heads the Russian delegation.
At the opening of the new sitting of
the conference Trotzky demanded that
the delegates 30 to Stockholm.
Premier Lenine, before leaving Pet
rograd ostensibIy for Finland, but
probably for Stockholm, for confer
ences with Austrian and German So
cialists, declared that if the central
powers do not accept Russian peace
terms the boIsheviki will declare war
against Germany. He expressed fear
that preparation would have to be
made for hostiIties.
peace with Russia apparently is the
present aim of the central powers.
According to Amsterdam dispatches,
Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister told the peace con-
ference at Brest- -Litovsk that mas
much as Russia's allies had not re-
piled to the invitation to take part in
the negotiations a separate peace is
now the question at issue. While op-
posing the transfer of the peace to
neutral territory, Count Czernin is said
to have declared that If the Russians
were animated by the same intentions
as the representatives of the central
powers the result of the negotiations
would be satisfactory.
Initial comment in the Austrian and
German press on President Wilson's
message is bitterly hostile. His pro-
gram is declared to be unacceptable
and one pam German paper says it is
more brutal still" than the recent
statement of Premier Lloyd George.
The president is accused of desiring
to hinder the Brest-Litovsk negotia-
tions and Vienna newspapers declare
that his peace conditions are such as
could only be imposed on the central
powers if they were defeated COM
pletely.
British troops In the Ypres area
have executed successfully three raids
into the German lines. Many casual
ties were inflicted and prisoners were
taken. On the remainder of the front
in France the artillery on both sides
is active, especially in Flanders, in
the Arras- Cambria area in Champagne
and northeast of Verdun- The artil-
lery fighting on the northern italian
front is less intense, being most
marked east of the Brenta.
Discussion of the French govern
ment's diplomatic conduct of the war
will be heard in the chamber of dep
uties today. The government has an
nounced that it will accept such dis
cussion.

New Orleans, Jan. 11.-Another cold

Government Cuts Retail Price
OF Hard Coal to Domestic Users
Rules and Regulations Govern ing Distribution For This Year
Issued by Fuel Adm inistrator-Plan To
Encourage Early Buying.

Washington, D. c.. (Special)---An av-
erage reduction &c 70 cents a ton in the
retail price of all anthracite coal sold
Tor domestic use between e. April
Il and September ! was announced last
might by the fuel administration, to-
gether with regulations governing the
retail distribution of all coal for the
year, beginning the first OF next month.
The rules are designed particularly to
prevent boarding and insure the filling
or all domestic needs for next winter
during the summer months.
Although no reduction in the retail
price of bituminous "a to
was made, the fuel administration to-
day began announcement OF revised
prices for such coal at the mines, the
first made public showing sharp reduc-
lions in Colorado. Utah. Wyoming and
Montana. Prices for Iowa are almost
completed and those for other states
will be as Don as deter
mined. The idea is for a general re-
vision before the beginning OF the coal
year on April 1.
To Encourage Buying.
In explaining the reduction In the
price Of anthracite, the administration
said the bulk Of this coal is used for
domestic consumption. The 80 cents re-
duction was determined upon, the
statement said. in lieu of the reduc-
lions heretofore voluntarily offered by
dealers to encourage early buying for
the following winters needs and which
ranged from so cents in April to 10
cents in August.
AS a further safeguard at the discre-
ton of the local fuel administrators,
each customer ordering coal may be
required to submit a certified state
ment giving details Of his require
ments. his supply on hand and the
amount he has ordered from various
dealers. Certification Of a false state
ment would be made subject to pros
ecution under the Lever act, which
imposes a fine Of $1,000 or two years
Imprisonment.
The regulations are as follows:

chase or otherwise take possession OF
more coal or coke thar is required for

Baranay, q Hungarian ear specialist,
worked out the methods OF testing the
sense of equilibrium employed III the
selection Of aviators. Baranay was
captured early in the war, and when the
Nobel prize was awarded him they had
to dig him out of a Siberian prison
camp to confer the honor on him.
His methods were gwen to the world
freely several years before the war, and
as we now use them they consist more
of American improvements than of the
original. Nevertheless the honor OF
working out the idea belongs to the
Hungarian scientist.
In the innermost part Of the ear there
are semicircular canals filled with mud
and lined with fine hairs. These hairs
onnec with nerves which run to the
brain. When one whirls in one direc-
ton 10 or more times the fluid in these
canals flows in the direction the body
has been turning. This causes w
phenomena. In n~ystagnus the eyes
turn slowly in the direction the body
was turning. They jerk back with q
quick snap and slowly turn again, to
be again jerked back with n snap. The
slow turning of the eyes is u to the
flow of fluid in these canals. The snap
ping back is due to effort OF the Will.
The second is vertigo. In vertigo due
to turning there is a sense of turning in
the direction opposite to that in which
the body was turning. When the body
turns, let us say to the right, a number
OF times the fluid in the canals finally
starts flowing in that direction n then
the flow keeps up for a little while after
the body has stopped turning. The flow
causes the eyes to turn TO the right. 1t
sets up a reverse sensation OF turning
in the opposite direction, which Is called
VERTIGO
If You will twirl a bucket Of water to
the right you will notice that the water
in the bucket will continue to flow to
the right after you have stopped Twill
ing the bucket. That depends on the
same principle as that OF the equi-
librium tests given prospective avia-
tors.
The applicant is put in a chair and
Whirled around 10 times in 20 seconds.
Nystagmus should stop in &c seconds.
He is Their twirled in the opposite direc-
tion 10 times in 20 seconds and his
timed. lie is tested in his
ability to touch quickly and accurately
with each hand and with both hands
after being twirled first 10 times in 20
seconds Their 10 times in 10 seconds.
The flow of the fluids n be set up
by douching the ears, irrigating them,
with water at 6S degrees Fahrenheit.
This acts in the same way as Whirling.
After the whirling test the men are Civ
en- the irrigation test as a check. The
time required for h nyStagmus n
vertigo to stop is recorded for each ear
The main requirement is that h two
ears should react alike.
