Turn in Action.

Vladivostok, Nov. 25. - General

gion, has interrupted wire communi-
cation between Omsk, the seat Of the

all-Russian government, the state de-
partment received the first unfavor-
able news that has come from Siberia

sisten workers for the elimination OF
BolShevism and the re-establishment
of a stable government in Russia since
the overthrow of the cZar.

TO MEET IN PARIS
Most of Peace Conference VIII
Be There.
Only Formal Sessions at End
in Versailles.


Paris. Nov. 25.-The conferences on
the preliminaries of peace probably
will be held in Paris instead of at YER
sailles, owing to the superior accom-
modationS and conveniences in the
capital. Only the formal sessions at
concluding stages will be held at Yer
sailleS.
The only active sittings now going
on are those of the joint arinistice
commission, which holes daily sessions
at Spa, the former German headquar-
ters, but which now Is held by the
French. The meetings are attended
by French, British and German dele
gates. General Nudant represents
Marshal Foch. with Commandant Sis
teron as his assistant. General Won
Winterfeldt is the German military
representative and Matthias Erzberger,
who also was a member of the German
armistice delegation, participates in
most of the sessions
Some of the meetings are described
as having been very animated over
the efforts of the Germans to obtain
modification of the terms of the armi-
stice. Marshal Foch's reply was a re-
fusal to consider change. and a dis
patch from Basle gives the text of the
marshaTs reply, which says:
mo attention can be given to the
demands presented in General Won
Winterfeldt's letter of November FL
The joint armistice commission
meeting appears to be in accordance
, with clause "a of the armistice, which
admitted the principle of a permanent
international armistice commission un-
der the direction of the allied military
and naval chiefs. While its duties are
restricted to the execution of the
armistice. it is one of the preliminaries
which will merge later into the ses-
sions of the inter-allied conference
{ and the peace conference.
