DESTRUCTION FEARED
 AMONG GERMAN TROOPS
Men Home on Furlough From East Not Allowed
 to Return.

Washington, Jan. Exchanges that Germany is violating the terms of the Russian truce by withdrawing troops from the eastern front and transfer ring them to the western battlelines were made today by the war depart ment.
 The war department made this statement:
 "The general staff of the United States army announces that the Ger man military authorities are evading those terms of the Russian truce which provided that German troops were not to be withdrawn from the eastern front for use on the western during the Weace negotiations Ger man troops on the Russian front arc being allowed to go home on furlough. These soldiers are then transferred to recruiting stations and sent to the western front.
 "The troops are taken in this way, man by man, for two reasons-frst, because it deceiVeS the Russian, and secondly, because the eastern troops have been so influenced by the Rus sian revolutionary propaganda that the German military chiefs have de- cided to separate them and scatter them in unaffected western regi- mentS.'

Parcel Post Service Handicapped.

Washington, Jan- 29.-Freight enl- bargoes and weather delays to freight shipments have thrown a heavy new burden on the mail service by adding thousands of tons to the parcel post. : Otto Praeger, second assistant post master general said today that steam CTS were being used for the first time in carrying parcel post in an effort to forestau congestion and that various changes in practice have been made to speed up the service.
 Owing to missed connections and weather conditions, deliveries now are from 12 to 24 hours late between New York and Chicago and from 2+ to is hours to the Pacific coast. De- lays to south bound shipments are less and due more to shortage of cars which have been communicated for military use, than to ice and snow.

Petrograd. Jan. 29, (By the Asso- ciated Press )-Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, and M. kameneff, left Petro grad today for Brest-Litovsk to resume the peace negotiations with the Central Powers. The congress of the Councils of Work mems and Soldiers Delegates, while Ceploring the imperalistic tenor of the German peace terms, approved all the actions of the Russian delegation and charged the government to con- tinue the negotiations.
 The congress adopted this resolu- ton, after the minority had sought vainly to persuade the adoption of a policy flatly against a separate peace. During the debate TrotzlSy declared he could not give a guarantee that he would not sign a separate peace, say ing:
 ITO call a separate peace a dis grace is blasphemy in the sight of blood Europe"

Munition Plant at

 With $100,0O0 Loss

Marquette, Mich-, Jan. 2o.-The alcohol plant and primary building of the Pioneer company and the Cleveland Cliffs Iron company of Cleveland, O., were destroyed early today by a series of ex- plosions followed by a fire which threatened the entire plant, covering an area of several blocks.
 The first blast rocked the city to it's foundation. The cause of the ex- plosion is not known. The police expressed the opinion that the ex- plosion was of incendi- ary origin. The prop erty loss was estimated at $1OO,OOO.
 At 10 o'clock company officials said there was no loss of life. This probably was due to the fact that most of the en- ployes in the alcohol re- lining plant were in the boiler room eating lunch.

 The action of the Wood brothers stirred the townspeople greatly, and while threats against them and their store were made no violence was at tem mpted. The signs read:

In a telegram to the Smolyni Institute, M. Joffe said his action was prompted by general belief that the Austrian people were most anxious for peace regardless of the views of their government.

 "Control of use of foodstuffs in food manufacturers with a view to limiting the less essential manufac- lures.
 "Control of commodities critically necessary for the production and preservation of foodstuffs in order to prevent great losses of military sac- rificeS.'
 In addition to the increasing of wheatless and meatless days and re- ducing the percentage of wheat in flour steps virtually taken already by the food administration, MT. Ander- sons bill proposed licensing of pub lie eating place and the limiting of food served in them. In this con- rection MT. Hoover said:
 While it is vitally necessary to regulate the consumption of food in public eating places, they consume on various estimates, from 2 to 20 per cent of the total foodstuffs and if they were reduced out of all rea- son they would not solve the prot- lem.
 Tt appears to me that we should attack the non- essential use of food stuffs and that we should attack the points of unnecessary consumption of foodstuffs. By these means we can place the burden where it be. longs-on the luXuries and greedy, and not upon the poor. This implies some further measures of control in distribution and in non- -essenti3l use"
