Three appointments Of Russian rep
resentatives abroad were announced
today by the Bolsheviki government.
The appointees are:
Ambassador at London, M. Litvin-

Minister to Switzerland, M. Kar-
pinski.
Minister to Sweden, M. Borovsky-
Crlovsky.
All three appointees were exiles un-
der the imperial government.
TURN OVER PRISONERS.
The Bolsheviki government has
turned over to revolutionary tribunals
on charges of resistance to the Boil
sheviki authorities the following:
Colonel L. De Maier, Russian mill
tary attache at The Hague; M. Vac
hontoff, in Japan; Colonel o. Enkel,
Russian military attache at Rome;
Major General Yermoteff, Russian
military-attache at London.
England, France and the United
States have asked of the Bolsheviki
authorities what disposition will be
made of the foreign property in the
banks when the banks have become
entirely nationalized.
There is no mistaling the meaning
of the kilograms sent by Chairman
Joffe OF the Russian peace delega-
tion to the chairman of the German,
Bulgarian and Turkish dele
cations. He declares the Russian re-
public deems it necessary to conduct
further peace negotiations on neutral
soil and suggests a transfer of the
conference to Stockholm. The tele-
grams declare that replies to the mes
sage are expected by Russian in
Petrograd.

w. ]. O'Brien, superintendent of state

CROWDER SAYS
ONLY CLASS ONE
WILL Be. CALLED
Provost Marshal Tells Con-
gress Only Men Now Listed
Will Be Used in Draft
Army.

Washington, Jan, 3.-Provost Mar.
shall General Crowder, reporting ia
congress today on the progress of the
draft, expresses for the first time a
definite promise and aim of the gov
ernment not to take for army duty
any other men than those listed in
class one of the new draft question
naire.
This classification excludes married
men entirely whose wives or families
are dependent on them for support,
and other men with dependents.
General Crowder does this on the
estimate that 100000 men physically
fit for army duty will be available
from class one. This number he
thinks sufficient for the present mill
tary needs of the nation, but to as
sure the future supply for those needs
he recommends that men who have
become II years since June 5, 1917,
(the first draft, and who become OF
age hereafter shall be added to class
one as they come available. This
will insure, the general estimates, a
supply Of 100000 men a year.
General Crowder outlines the new
policy in this language:
Whether this guess 100000
available men) be justified in prac'
tice. or not, It can be announced now
as the policy and belief of this Of
fee that in all probability it will be
possible to fill our military needs
without invading any class more de-
ferred than class one; and this is the
promise, the standard, and the goal,
here for the first time announced, to-
ward which every administrative ef-
fort of this Office shall be directed"
Also, in the interest of fair distribu-
tion of the military burden, General
Crowder proposes that the quotas Of
states or districts be determined here
after on the basis of the number of
men in class one and not upon popu-
lation.
Class one comprises:
Single men without dependent rela-
tives, married men who have habituai-
ly failed to support their families, who
are dependent upon wives for support
or not usefully engaged, and whose
families are supported by incomes in.
dependent of their labor; unskilled
farm >1aborers, unskilled industrial
laborers, registrants by or in respect
of>whom no deferred classification is
claimed or made, registrants who fail
to submit QUESTIONABLE and in respect
of whom no deferred classification is
claimed or made, and all registrants
not included in any other division of
the schedule.
The plan places upon unattached
single men and married men with in
dependent incomes most of the weight
of military duty, for the number of
men in the other divisions of class
one are very small.

Twenty Men of Draft Age

Twenty men of draft age enlisted in

of enlistments would have been
larger" said Ensign Condict, "had
the boys known that 1t was necessary
to get a certificate from their local
exemption boards. As a result of
their failure to do so we were forced
to turn them down. The more de-
termined ones telegraphed their
boards for the certificates and were
compelled to remain in Omaha pend
ing the action of the exemption Of
fcials." With the exception of about
five, most of the enlisted men were
from the rural precincts of South Da-
kota.

Decatur, the lake upon whose shady
shores the Boy Scouts of Omaha
camped for weeks ast.summer. In the
lot he got catfish, carp, buffalo, and
many other varieties which are not
considered most desirable in the lakes
of Nebraska. Some of these will have
to be marketed in Omaha, according
to Mr.. O'Brien, and it is for this rea-
son that he wants to know immediate
ly what wilr be the status of the
commonwealth of Nebraska as fish
peddler.
Before going to Lake Quinnebaugh,
O'Brien and his assistants took be-
tween eight and nine tons of fish out
of Jackson lake in Dakota county.
That was during the month of No
yember. These fish, taken out day by
day, were largely marketed locally.

Petrograd, Wednesday, Jan. 2.-The
Moscow branch OF the National City

night. H. J. Dreher, the manager, was

KAISER NOW WORRIED.
Emperor William and the rulers
Of Germany apparently are aroused
over the sudden change in the situa-
ton and the German and Austrian
foreign secretaries are reported hur-
rying back to Brest-Litovsk with new
instructions.
German military and political lead
ers conferred yesterday with the en-
peror and there is widespread de-
mand throughout Germany that the
Reichstag be convened Immediately.
Reichstag leaders at conference
with Foreign Secretary Won Kuehl-
mann discussed the situation and the
leaders of the regular and Independent
socialists are reported to have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the Ger
man attitude concerning occupied
territory. ....
TO RELIEVE WESTERN FRONT.
A breaking off in peace negotiations
probably will upset all German plans
to press formidable attack on the
western front. Confidence is ex~
pressed in Petrograd that the Rus
sian government might put an army
of 100000 men in the field and the
Bolshevki Red Guard made up of
armed Russian workmen, already has
started toward the fighting front.
A complete break undoubtedly
would compel the Germans to return
to the eastern front the troops they
have taken away within the past six
weeks and would make it impossible
for the Germans to renew trade re-
lations with Russia in order to OBJ
tain much needed foodstuffs.
Serious Dispute at First Meeting.
London, Jan. 3.-Petrograd dis
patches indicate that differences de-
veloped at the first meeting there of
the Russian and German commits
sioners for the discussion of economic
relations. The Germans desired to
reach an understanding with the Rus
SLAMS regarding regulation of railroad
transit between the two countries.
The Russian delegates strongly en-
phasized their unwillingness to go be-
yond the lines indicated in the armis-
ticc, and refused to fix regulations
without precise definition as to what
classes of persons and goods the rail-
roads were to carry.
Prisoners Likely to Remain.
A Petrograd dispatch to the Post
says very large proportion of the
German war prisoners and still larger
proportion of the Austrians will re-
turn to their fighting fronts only
under compulsion. They have not
been confined in prison camps but
have lived among the people and
everywhere have proved their worth
in agricultural, industrial, commercial
and even artistic pursuits. Many of
them are getting on better than they
did at home and are more than con-
tented to remain in Russia.
Furthermore, it is improbable, the
dispatch says, that Germany desires
the return from Russia of a majority
of her war prisoners. She Will get
back the officers and non-commis-
stoned officers i'll any case, and many
of them already have returned. But

Chicago, Jan. Sin accordance
with governmental instructions, rail-
road executives in Chicago, as in other

in their particular lines are not re-

Dor situation.
