First Wheels of tho Season.

The first wheels of the season were
seen going down the road last Friday
morning. This does not indicate that
spring has come nor that the roads are
in frst-class condition for wheeling.
Truth to tell, the mercury was II to Il
degrees below zero and the snow sew
eral feet deep, the road itself being in
many places two feet above the earth
and here and there on a level with the
tops of the fences The real reason for
the wheels was that Dwight +. Bailey
of Agawam. Mass, had finished work
in his lumber lot on Stratton hill and
that morning his son, Burton Bailey,
left for home with the team ard Con
cord, the hard crust on top of the
snow making it possible to travel with
wheels They have, while here, deliv-
cred at the mill between 30 and AZ
thousand feet of spruce and white
birch. Most of the spruce has been

CHAMBER TOLD Of
STEPS IN RUSSIA
CONTINUED From Page One,

structions issued by Premier Glenn
enceau to the general commanding,
that such intervention was not Of
fensive for the time being, but de-
fensive, in order to prevent the boil
sheviki from invading Ukraine, the
Caucasus and western Siberia. In
the future an offensive intervention
might be necessary in order to de.
stroy bolshevism. Such an opera.
ton must be carried out by Russian
troops, of which 100000 were at
the present time ready at Odessa.
| Socialists in Uproar.
While Pichon was reading NJ
Clemenceau's instructions, pande-
monium broke loose on the socialist
bench. THE war is beginning
anew they shouted.
NJ. Deschanel, president of the
chamber, threatened to have one Of
the most unruly of the socialist
members elected. NJ. Pichon
weathered the storm calmly. He
refused peremptorily to answer
whether the French government
was prepared at the present time
to make public the names of its
delegates to the peace conference.
The chamber must give the govern
ment its confidence, he said.
The chamber was again in an up
rear, in which it was noted that
others joined with the socialists.
The chamber is holding a session
this evening, as the budget must be
voted before midnight December 81
by both the chamber and the senate.
There were three sessions today and
two have been held every day this
week. But only one vote on strict
rtrty lines was taken. This was on
Friday, when the government did
not lose any strength, despite the
widely advertised onslaught of its
opponents.
Liberation Loan Growing.
In the chamber of deputies today,
during debate on the budget, Min.
lister of Finance klotz announced
that the amount subscribed to the
liberation loan now exceeds the
amount announced December 3. Al
though the figures still were incom-
plete, M. Klotz said the nominal
capital subscribed exceeded 30,00U,-
600 600 francs, representing an eff
iectlve capital of 2l,50O,0O0,00C
francs.
a" appeal was made to have de-
mobilization fastened, as there ate
ouy r JUu non-mo Dilized doctors to
care for the 3S000.000 civilian pop.
ulation. the death rate among whom
has doubled owing to the influenza.
1t was said that the armys health
was excellent and that it has 5000
physicians with the colors.
