COLONEL ROOSEVELT
RESTS EASY AFTER
OPERATION ON EARS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt was resting easy to-
night in Roosevelt hospital, where he
was operated on yesterday for fistula
and assesses in both of his ears.
The physicians in attendance upon
the former president, in a bulletin is
sued at o'clock tonight, said they
were very hopeful aoout his progress,
but were unable to say positively until
tomorrow whether further operations
will be necessary"
The bulletin follows:
DIR Martin and DIR. Beul consulted
over Colonel Roosevelt at O'Clock.
They found that the active symptoms
from the acute inflammation of his in
ternal ear were subs.ding without any
untOWard developments They feel
very hopeful about his progress, but
are unable to say positively until to-
morrow whether further operations
will be necessary
A sudden development of inflammation
in the inner left ear was responsible
for the hurried calling of a consulta-
tion of specialists during the day. This
resulted in the issuing of a statement
which. in effect, characterized the
colonels condition as serious but not
critical
After having undergone a minor
operation for fistula at his home in
Oyster Bay about a week ago, Colonel
Roosevelt came to New York that he
might be in closer touch with his
! physician. Tuesday night at his hotel
he was seized with q secondary hem
orrhage and Wednesday, on the advice
of DR.. Walton Marth.. underwent an
other operation for tistula. Shortly
afterward a specialist also removed an
| abscess from each of his ears. Alto
| gether the operations lasted a few min
utes less than two hours and Wednes-
day night was passed by the former
| president in comparative ease.
Today. however, the attending physi-
| clans discovered the development of
inflammation of the inner ear but said
that for the present nothing would be
done except the maintenance of a
careful observation of the patient.
In a suite near the colonel's room
are Mrs Roosevelt, Mrs Nicholas
Longworth and Mrs Richard Derby
All the members of the colonels family
are optimistic as to his ultimate re-
covery.
During the day there were scores OF
callers at Roosevelt hospital among
them George w. Perkins, Oscar S
Straus and John Purroy Mitchell
former mayor of New York. None oil
them was permitted to see the colonel
Mrs Longworth doing the talking fol
the family. In addition scores of tele-
grams and notes of inquiry from
j friends throughout the country were
received at the hospital during the day

sioner of labor, declared to The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent today.
THE causes are universal. You prob

I'VE are going through the transition
period from war to peace continued
the commissioner. This is a most
difficult period in better organized
countries and is particularly difficult
in Russia The difficulty is aggravated
by the fact that neither the emperors s
nor Kerenskys government regulated
the industries.
There was uneveness Of production
even in the branch of industry making
munitions of war, there being too
much produced of some articles and too
little of others. The first measure we
are taking is to cut down the manufac-
ture of other than necessary things and
to produce useful articles those we
need most, such as locomotives, cars
and automobiles. Thousands of loco
motives are badly in need of repairs
but there are no shops for that work as
they have all been turned into muni-
tion factories These are being turned

Republican A. p. Leased WireI


PETROGRAD, Wednesday. Feb. G.
With the approach of the spring plant
ing season. land distribution is becom-
ing an acute problem. Unemployed
workmen, who are leaving the cities
for their native villages to get land,
rapidly are spreading the economic
struggle throughout Russia. The all
Russian congress of workmen's and
soldiers delegates adjourned without
adopting the plans of NJ. Kalegayev
the minister of agriculture. for the ap-
portionment of the land. Consequently
no definite legislation has been estab-
lished for the method Of distribution.
The land-owning peasants. as well
as the bourgeoisie, are to be divested
of their estates. Premier Lenine to-
day addressed Il large gathering OF
Ggitators who are TO depart soon for
the provinces to lead the confisCatior
campaign. He urged them to make
war on all village eXploiters and rich
peasants as they did on the wealthy
land owners.
I'VE have taken the land to give it
to the poor peasants" the premier
said. do not let the rich peasants
or eXploiters get the agricultural i'm
plements. Put ten poor peasants
against every rich one. The police are
dead and buried and the masses must
take affairs in their own hands.
External war is finished or is being
finished now. Internal war begins,
but not war with arms. This is an
economic war. The masses must take
back what has been stolen from them.
The rich who have hidden their
wealth, think the masses will pull them
through. Somehow, we must uncover
the hidden wealth, or otherwise the
Bolsheviki government is bankrupt.
THE republic needs twenty eight
billion rubles annually. Its prospective
income is only eight billion rubles. The
hidden wealth must be uncovered and
placed at the disposal of the govern

WASHINGTON, Feb. = Sudden
thawng weather today brought pros
poets of unexpected relief to railroads
of the blizzard stricken east. They
could not recover instantly from the
prolonged bitter cold, however, and
coal transportation still was far below
normal.
Reports to the railroad and fuel
administrations said many mines were
not supplied with empty cars. and that
traffic was tied up so badly in princi-
pal rail centers that it would take
week to restore even the same degree
of order that prevailed last week.
Labor was more plentiful today
however, and loading and unloading
operations went on faster in most of
the country.
Reports from A. H. Smith, regional
director of railroads in the east, said
yesterdays freight movement was about
40 per cent below normal, and this ap-
piled to coal as we'll as to general
freight. State fuel administrators re-
ported that reserve stocks of coal had
disappeared in many cases, and that
industries were prepared to shut down
unless shipments were freer tomorrow
