DISORDERS
Renewed In Russia As BolshevikI
Lose In Constituent Assembly
Radicals withdraw From New
Legislative Body.

London, January 20--The long
awaited converting Of the Constituent
Assembly apparently has precipitated
a fresh crisis in Russian affairs, with
renewed disorders as the consequence
Of struggle for control In the capital
indicated as q possibility.
The Bolsheviki evidently are not
taking kindly to the new legislative
body, In which the very first vote OF
the opening session Friday revealed
a decided anti-Bolsheviki majority,
which easily elected its candidate for
Chairman, 244 to ISL, and this with
out the help of the new Constitution
al Democrats, who were not present.
The Bolsheviki and their support
ers, the extreme Social Revolutionists
thereupon withdrew from the Assem-
bly,.
This break with the majority Social
Revolutionists, who showed their con-
troll by electing as Chairman one Of
their leaders, M. Tchernoff, Minister
of Agriculture in the Kerensky Gov
eminent, is interpreted abroad as u
probable prelude to an attempt on the
part of the Bolsheviki Government to
assert itself in supreme control re-
CARELESS of what course the present
Assembly may desire to take.
The forcible dissolution of the As
sembly or its reorganization as Boil
sheviki body are among the possible
courses forecast.
1t is recalled that the Chairman Of
the Assembly, M. Tchernoff, was I'M
der fire as a member Of the Kerensky
Government, being accused of pro
Germanism and of having relations
with the enemy.
He afterward was rehabilitated,
however, and continued strong in
fluence in Social Revolutionary cir
Giles. In November he was one Of the
political leaders who attended con-
ference at Russian headquarters
when an effort was under way to
form a new Government in opposition
to the Bolsheviki.
Some disorder preceded the open
ing of the Assembly, five persons be-
ing killed and dozen wounded In
street fighting

SOLDIERS In FRANCE
KEPT WELL SUPPLIED


Washington, January 20-Repeated
publications Of reports Of shortages
Of food and clothing among Gen.
Pershing's forces In France, today
led Secretary Baker to announce
that no complaints had come to him
either from official or unofficial
sources. Had there. been shortages,
Mr.. Baker said, not only would q re-
port have been received from Gen.
Pershing In the ordinary course, but
such a report would have been re-
qulred by army regulations.
In this connection 1t Is learned that
soon after the movement Of troops to
France began, a general order was Is
sued prohibiting the embarkation Of
any man whose immediate command
ing officer had not certified that the
soldier was completely equipped.

ITALIANS CHECK ENEMY EFFORT
TO ADVANCE AT VENICE

London, January 20-Only one spot
on the military map is showing any
activity out of the ordinary for mid
winter-the right flank Of the Italian
river front, on the lower reaches Of
the Pave. Here the Austrians have
made further effort to drive into the
Italion lines near Capo Sile and
wedge their way further toward Ven
ice.
The latest assault appears to have
been no more successful than the 9TH
err recent efforts, the Italians meeting
the enemy with devastating artillery
fire and obliterating machine guns
and rifles the few detachments that
succeeded in getting across No Mans
Land to the defensive barbados.
