of the message from the ambassador, as
it indicates that he is safe now on the
Thurman peninsula, where armed forces
of the United States and allied govern
ments are in control Frequent communi-
cations with the ambassador at Kola are
now expected

rect touch with affairs in Russia, having
available only such news as leaks through

ever a question arose affecting the in
terest of any particular neutral nation
it would have its opportunity of being
heard, probably through delegates.
These delegates, it was added, will
not sit regularly in the congress, but
will be called in when their interests
are affected. This course probably
will apply to general subjects like a
league of nations, in which the inter-
ests of all countries, including neu-
trails, are affected, as well as subjects
especially affecting any particular neu-
trail.
1t is understood that Switzerland, as
well as Spain, is appointing delegates
in this sense. 1t is expected that Hol-
land, Sweden, Norway and Denmark
and probably some South American
republic also will have their interests
represented as occasions arise.
Il 1t developed that Premier Roma
nones plans to return to Paris in

RUSS CHIEFS IN PARIS
Ex-Premiers to Assist Movement
for UnifNinn Russia.
Leaders Represent Many Parties and
Will Assist Allies in Restor-

Paris, Dec. 25.--After important con-
ferences in an effort to find a ground
for co-operation between the allies and
the United States on the one hand ana
the order-loving, patriotic elements IN
Russia on the other, the entente gov
ernments the press accounts declare
are completely in accord IL decision
to REFUSE to undertake vast military
expedition into Russia. Il is consid-
cred the part OF Russia herself 10 get
together her orderly elements which,
when united, it is declared, will find
support and practical help Forthcoming
from the allied nations and the Amer
lean republic.
Paul n. MiIyoukov, former Russian
foreign minister, who was accused last
July of Germanophile leanings, has
been obliged to leave Paris, according
to the Matin. His presence here was
believed to be unnecessary.
Paris, Dec. 25.-Prince George G.
Lvoff and Vladimir N. KOkovsotf, both
former Russian premiers, are among
the prominent Russians who have ar
rived in Paris to assist the movement
of unifying Russia and restoring Or
der there with entente aid.
The Russians here representing
many parties, have APPARENTLY recon
cied their political differences and are
working toward common end.
Neutrals arriving in Paris from Pc
trograd, which city they left early in
December, say that food conditions
there are constantly growing worse
and that the position Of foreigners is
especially hard since all the neutral
legations have been withdrawn. Neu-
trail caretakers in charge Of embassies
and legations are unable to obtain food
and will probably be forced to leave.
When asked for his opinion on the
proposed league of nations and other
subjects likely to come before the
peace conference, King Nicholas said:

Chicago Dec. 25s Fourteen thou
sand men and 1900 women IN Chi
cago will receive welcome present
from Uncle Sam this Christmas. They
are those classed as German enemy
aliens. 1t was announced that the re-
strictions regulating their free move
ments will be lifted today as a Christ
mas present.
Throughout the United States about
100000 Germans are affected. The
official announcement from the depart
ment of justice in Washington said:
ION the recommendation of the at
torney general, the president has d.
rected that on and after Christmas day
the attorney general discontinues en-
forcement Of all regulations affecting
the conduct of male and female Ger
man alien enemies, except those re-
strictions which apply to entry into
and departure from the country and
those affecting the power of intern
ment
'This means that on Christmas day
the permit and pass systems in effect
against these aliens will be abolished
all over the country, and that all pro-
hlbited areas and restricted zones will
go out of existence. All registration
regulations will likewise cease, and 1t
will no longer be necessary for German
alien enemies to obtain permits for
change of residence.
"The attorney general, however, will
continue to exercise as heretofore the
power to intern all dangerous German
alien enemies. The action Of the pres
ident does not affect In any way the
status of men already interned or the
restrictions and obligations heretofore
imposed on alien enemies now on pa
role. Any violation of parole will be
punished as heretofore"

StssIus n fem discharged from the fed-

Ing practically is to wipe out of exist
ence the National Guard as 1t was or
ganized prior to the war.
The opinion is rendered by Brig.
Gen. Samuel 7. Ansell, who has been
acting judge advocate general since
Maj. Gen. Crowder was appointed pro-
vost marshal general to handle the
draft, was made public today by the
war department.
Cites Opinion of January.
General March, chief of staff, on De-
cember 20 asked for an opinion as to
the status of members Of the Ma
I tional Guard subsequent to their dis
charge from the federal service. HIS
memorandum called attention to a oil
gest of opinion Of the judge advocate
general dated January, 1918, in which
1t was said that when the Guardsmen
were mustered out" of the federal
service they would revert to their
militia status and also to their status
in the National Guard.
General Ansell, in his decision,
| pointed out that this opinion was
based upon muster out, and not upon
discharge, and added:
"As a matter of fact, the opinion In
the digest in which this sentence oc-
ours holds, without qualification, that
the draft of member Of the National
Guard into the federal service abso'
lutely discharges him from the militia
which includes the National Guard
| Furthermore, this office has held that
commission by the temporary froces
Is incompatible with commission II
the National Guard and operates tC
cancel the commission In the National
Guard.
Revert to Civilian Status.
ut is, therefore, the opinion OF thi'
office that the former members of thu
National Guard, both officers and en-
listed men, who entered the service BY
draft under the presidents proclama
ton of July 3, 1917 will, when dis
charged from the federal service, re
vert to a civilian status and will no
revert to their former status as mem
bers of the National Guard"
