GERMANS SENDING
 TROOPS WESTWARD
TROTZkY, BOLSHEVIkI FOREIGN MINISTER, CALLS ATTENTION
 TO THIS FACT.

Petrograd-Ensign Krylenko, com mander in chief of the army. reported to the Bolsheviki headquarters that the Germans are transferring troops ill very large numbers and as quickly as possible to the western front against the allies and also to the southwestern Russian front.
 Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister has called the attention ot the peace delegation to this fact. A special dispatch from Brest-LitoVsk l.nnas.na ac;. Ike rf1'sg1laEs were rot ready yet to reply to the Russian peace terms and consequently the meeting of the peace delegates was postponed.
 Minister Trotzky has sent a tele' gram to his delegates at Brest-LltoVsK' in this connection, declaring that II the Germans refused their Socialists passports, this would create such a bad impression in Petrograd that IL was deemed necessary that the Ger man official delegation which Is eX- pected here Thursday should go to Stockholm instead.
 The Bolshevik commissioners have issued a manifesto to all Russian workingmen declaring that as the ar mistice probably will be transformed at an early date into a general dem ocratic peace to all the European peo- ples, preparation of military equip ment is a waste of national labor and funds and that consequently the out put must be stopped immediately and replaced by the production of peace supplies, which the country needs.

LABOR TROUBLES
 CAUSE OF DELAY
VICE CHAIRMAN STEVENS TESTl. MONY REGARDING SHIP
 BUILDING PROGRAM.

Washington. - Labor troubles were blamed for much of the delay in the government shipbuilding programme by Raymond B. Stevens, vice chair man of the shipping board, testifying in the Senate commerce committees investigation.
 Since the United States went to war, MT. Stevens said, ship yards have lost a total of 536,992 working days by strikes and other disputes. This, he figured, represents the work of zV,UU0 men for month. Happily, said MT. Stevens, the situation is improV- ing by reason of measures taken by the board to adjust differences Wher- ever they arise.
 Senators took a lively interest in the story of tine labor situation and the inquiry turned to the whole sub iect of labor and it's position during the war. Question as to the wisdom of conscription of labor for ship yard and other government work drew from Mr Stevens emphatic opposition to any attempt to force civilians to work under prescribed conditions and government fixed wages. Telling of the boards work in estab' | fishing, with the aid of the Labor De- 1 partment, employment agencies on the Pacific coast, MT. Stevens said that | with their institution also in the East the board hoped to obtain from other industries as many men as it needs. He added that an appropriation would be needed to provide housing facilities at isolated plants.
 The number of men should actual ly be more than doubled" said he, eff we are to accomplish our full aims. Roughly, there are now about 150,000 men engaged in shipbuilding. We could use from 20C-900 to 100000 more.
 I've are obtaining new men grad uaJiy now, and hope to obtain them nuch faster later on. Recently 1Q6 yards reported they could use imme diately 10000 more men,"

 RUSSIAN PROPOSALS
RUSSIA, HOWEVER, MUST GET OTHER ALLIES TO ACCEPT
 THEM, STATES COUNT.
RETURN GERMAN COLONIES
Russian Delegates Asked For To-Day Recess in the Negotiations in Or der To Put Proposal Before
 It's Allies.

Petrograd.-The central powers are ready to make an immediate general peace without compulsory annexations and without contributions.
 This is their answer through Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, made on Christmas Day at Brest-Litovsk to the Russian propo- sals, which they are ready to accept in most particulars as the basis of negotiations. They insist, however, that the central powers cannot bind themselves one-sidedly to such condi- tions without guarantee that the al lies of Russia will recognize and fulfill these conditions.
 The Russian delegates asked for 10-day recess in the negotiations in order to put the proposal before Rus sia's allies.
 Count Czernin declared that the cen tral powers believed that the basic principles uttered by the Russian del egates could be the basis of such d peace. He said they shared Russian condemnation of continuation of the war for the sake of conquest. It is necessary to indicate most clearly, however, the count added, that the Russian proposals could be realized only in the event that all belligerents obligated themselves to adhere to the terms of such a peace.
 The Hungarian foreign min ister declared the central powers did not intend to forcibly annex territo- ries seized during the war, nor to deprive nations of political independ' ence lost in the war.
 The question of subiection of na- tionalities who have not political in dependence to another country can not be solved internationally, and must be met by each government and 1 it's people in the manner established by the constitution of that govern ment. The protection of the right Of minoritieS is an essential part of the right of peoples to self-de1inition. In the event of a mutual renunciation O indemnification or war costs and war damages, Count Czernin continued, each belligerent would have to bear only the expensa.~ lrred for it's sub 5ects made prIsoiroI S1r1d nay for damage caused in it's own territory to property of civilian subjects of an enemy country by violations of inter- national law.

The road to Lonoke proposed by these property owners is the same road to Prothro's mill, two and half miles east of North Little Rock, as the Galloway pike, then by the Jack sonville road to the top of the hill beyond Bayou Meto bridge, then the old military road to Lonoke. The mill tary road has a splendid grade and is in fairly good condition.
 J. N. Ford, owner of the PlainvieW farm, in Lonoke county, and other citi- zens are willing to form the improve ment district to build this road with what assistance can be secured through the Little Rock Beard Of Commerce, the county, the State High way Department and the government. They are urging that this be the route taken, with the idea of getting the Bankhead highway over this terri tory from Lonoke to Little Rock
 Whichever route is chosen will be improved with good hard surface and without doubt will constitute that part of the Rankhead highway from Mem- phis to Little Rock The old military road would possibly make the distance to Lonoke a mile and half farther than the Galloway pike. The State Highway Department is calculating the cost of the road. H. J. Engstroum, county engineer, finished his survey for the Highway Department on the Callcwcy ri'zc.
