Corporal Albert Louis Larsen.
NOW Formally Listed in the War De
partment Report as a Survivor of
the Tuscania Disaster.

today when new official list of the
given out by the War Department. The
one man unaccounted for was Corporal
Arthur Junker and today S. d. Mad
dock Of Kenosha went to the War De-
partment and made formal request
that some especial effort be made to
find definite news of the Kenosha cor
poral. Cables will be sent abroad to
the commanders of the army units with
a view Of finding, if possible, whether
or not Corporal Junker is with any of
these organizations and search of the
military haspitals on the Scottish and
Irish coasts will be made. His name has
not appeared in any lists of the ''lost -
given out by the War Department.
Supplementary lists given out today
brought new assurance to Kenosha peo-
pie that their boys were officially safe.
In the list given out by the War De-
partment early today were the names
Of more than a hundred survivors.
Many Of the parents Of these boys some
days ago received kilograms from the
department declaring that the boys
were alive and onstheir way to France,
but the official publication of the list
came as interesting news to their
! friends. The list of Kenosha men
included in the latest War Depart
ment list of the survivors include:
Private Floyd S. HILL
Priv. Karl Hjalmar Hultenius.
Corp. Albert Louis Larsen.
Private John Mitchell.
Corporal Otto Mowrey.
The fact that the name of Corporal
Albert Louis Anderson was on the War
Department list of survivors brought
rejoicing to Mrs Larsen and her little
daughter at their home on Sheridan
Road. The little daughter arrived dur
ing the period of anxious waiting of
two weeks ago and although there had
been official messages announcing The
safety Of her father grave doubts had
been raised on account of the fact that
for many days the name of Corporal
Larsen had been carried in the list of
those unaccounted for
Local people are still waiting for
letters from the boys who were on the
Tuscania, but they are being rapidly
moved over in Europe and it may be
several days before they can send any
letters. Tt is believed that the BOYS of
Company NJ are now either in France or
on their way to join the Pershing forces.
Several lists of men who were in
hospitals have been given out by the
War Department. but no names of Ke-
nosha men are mentioned in these
lists and it is presumed that all Of
the Kenosha boys stood the fight
against the beating waves and were
able to go on with their supply train
when it left England

in the eastern theatre were awaited
with eagerness by allied diplomatic
and military officials today. The
latest official report from Berlin
declared the German forces were
advancing in Russia on front ex-
tending from Riga to LUX, a dis
tance Of 400 miles. The former city
has been in the hands of the Ger
mans since their last big drive. The
latter town was occupied by Gen.

position The statement made
public by Premier Lenine and For
eign Minister Trotsky, declaring
the people IS commissaries had been
forced to declare their willing
ness" to sign the peace dictated by
the central powers, was the basis
of considerable speculation here.
The Willingness" might indicate
disposition to evade a definite
show down with Germany as long
as possible.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The allies
are now superior to the Teutons on
the western front both in men and
guns. The United Press was in
formed of this officially, today by
allied and American military
sources. Both agreed that the al
lies are ready for any blow the
Teutons may intend. And, signif-
cantly, the informants declared
that undoubtedly the Teuton has

offensive since December, he has
shunted fresh men from the east
front and weeded out the weaker
units from the west line. But he
has overplayed his waiting game,

Army Postomce
Set Up in France

PARIS, Feb. 9.-The United States
Army postoflice authorities announce
that the territory in France where the
American forces are located has been
divided into three districts, with thirty
one offices. A man will Lc permanently
located in each district to take imme-
diate action regarding the distribution
and transportation of mail. Expert
postal clerks have just arrived from the
United States to take UP the work, and
fifty other men will arrive during Feb
ruary to distribute mail to the different
units.
Postal authorities here believe shat
with this organization in effect and
with full cooperation of the military
authorities in providing information as
to the location of troops, there will be
no basis for a just criticism agains.
the service.
1t is stated that owing to dsturbed d
conditions of ocean travel, together
with already congested freight condi-
tions in France, mail will be received
irregularly, but serious delays in de-
livery will be avoided if mail is ad-
dressed to the proper organization and
unit. 1t is pointed out by postal agents
that much criticism regarding the slow
delivery of mail has resulted from the
failure OF the military authorities to
furnish information. Five carloads o1
mail for one National Guard division
was delayed one week at a certai,
place, it is said, through the failure OF
the postofficc to receive information
as to the movement of troops.

Paris Press Sees
Danger to Ukraine
In German Peace

PARIS, Feb. 10.-Comment of the
French press on the signing Of a peace
between the Central Powers and the
Ukraine is, as a rule, somewhat de-
pressed in tone. "The news is no cause
of rejoicing for u.s." says LA
Victoire." Premier Clemenceau' s
"L'Homme Libre" points out that the
Ukrainians are setting out upon a
dangerous road, delivering their coun-
try with its rich resources to German
exploitation.
"The right of peoples to dispose
themselves has received its first appli-
cation unhappily," says "L'Action
Francaise," Royalist newspaper. at
is more in conformity with our fears
than with our hopes. The first use
made by this people of their newly ac-
quired liberty is to deliver itself into
slavery"
The "Gaulois' considers that the
Ukrainian surrender confirms the view
that Germany is making an effort to
reach Odessa. Alfred Capus, in the
Figaro" is more optimistic. He con-
siders the peace as of an artificial, un-
enduring character. The "Matin" pre-
diets that long months will elapse be-
fore Germany will reap any economic
benefits from the peace.
The "Temps" says:
"The Ukrainians who signed the
peace agreement represent only the
shadow of government. Nobody
knows when their country can export
wheat, nor if any quantity for export

Urges Heat for B. r. T. Cars
Commissioner Straus Suggests
Company Get More Current

Chairman Oscar S. Straus of the
Public Service Commission yesterday
wrote to Timothy S. Williams, presi-
dent of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company. suggesting that the company
arrange to secure an emergency cur
rent supply from the New York and
Brooklyn Edison companies in order to
properly heat the B. R. r. cars. Chair
man Straus made it clear that the coal
shortage was not solely responsible for
the T. lure of the Brooklyn company to
provide adequate heat in it's cars.
The chairman called attention to the
fact that somewhat similar situation
existed last winter when the company,
having abundant coal, failed to heat
its cars. 1t will be recalled that at that
time the District Attorney of Kings
County instituted criminal proceed
ing against certain officials Of the com
pany for failure to supply heat.

prosperity. The reform must, how
ever, be thoroughgoing. The half
measures which have been the bane Of
Ireland in the past so far from prov

ease. 1t would be lamentable if meas
ures were produced which the people
would reject with contempt, as they So
often before have rejected worthless

Does Not Agree on
Three Principal Points

There remain eleven concrete points.
Scheidemann does not pretend to
agree on AlsaceLorraine, Poland, OF
the lntaiian provinces three of the
most colossal territorial problems Of
the war. German insistence on con-
tinued enslavement of any one of these
important territories with their mill
ions of inhabitants would alone suf-
flee to prolong the war indefinitely.
There remain eight concrete points
upon which Scheidemann, taking ad-
vantage of Mr.. Wilson's liberal and
diplomatic phraseology, claims to
agree. Again let US see.
Scheidemann claims to agree on
Russia. But there is the Polish prob
lem, involving German and Austrian, as
we'll as Russian Poland. Scheidemann
does not agree to this independent
Poland, though it is the crux of the
Russian problem.
Schcidemann claims to agree about
Belgium. But he is opposed to indem-
mites, and the President requires
complete "rcstoration" and by Ger
many The same difference arises as
to Serbia, Rumania and Northern
France.
Scheidemann takes advantage of the
Presidents broad phrases about the
future of the subject nationalities Of
Austria and Turkey. Scheidemann and
Wilson both demand autonomy. But
Scheidemann demands mere autonomy,
and his party considers that this ID a
question for Austria and Turkey to
settle for themselves.
President Wilson takes the very op-
poste view. ,He demands "the frecst
opportunity" and again "an absolutely
unmolested opportunity" for "autono-
nous development" He does not even
use the substantive word "autonomy"
and he suggests the Sovereignty" of
the Turkish government only for the
Turkish portions of Turkey Nor does
he agree that this is an Austrian or a
Turkish problem. On the contrary, he
had explained at length in his mes
sage to Congress, less than five weeks
previously that these territories must
be freed from Prussian domination
Moreover. he now specifically de-
mands economic" freedom for certain
Of the disputed territories principle
that he would certainly apply gener-
ally, as we can see from his repeated
dj scussions of the economic principles
of a just settlement.
There remains only the question of
the German colonies. Scheidemann
has always been coonialist I'm
ooub.edly, he expects the German col
onies to be largely restored. as his
party demands. If there is peace in
