London, Jan. 4.-Recognition of the
I<enine government in Russia by the en-.
tente allies is probable, owing to devel.
opments in the Russo German negotia
tions, according to the Daily Chronicle
The statement apparently is based ON a
contribution by a diplomatic correspon-
dent, which says: Owing to the Boil
sheviki discovery of German duplieity
anything may happen. The Bolsheviki
may give way" he says, "the Germans
may give way, or there may be rup-
ture of relations. The first is hardly like
ly in view of the Trotzky declaration.
The second is possible, for the Germans
are past masters of specious compromise,
and the third is most probable.
"Russia may quite possibly witness
revival of the war, assuming such sit
uation, and the consolidation of the Boil
sheyiki power, provided the failure TO
extract peace does not wreck the Lenine
regime. Then recognition as de facto
government follows

Built in 1924.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Jan. 4.-The In.
ternational hotel, one of the landmarks
of Niagara Falls, was destroyed by fire
yesterday and the International theatre
and adjoining building, was badly dam
aged. The damage is estimated at $780,
900, covered by insurance. One fireman
suffered several broken ribs when a lad
der fell, another fireman and tele-
phone llneman were overcome by smoke
and are in hospitals.
The fire started in the kitchen of the
hotel and spread rapidly to the top
story. Then it worked around the i
shaped building to the front. Firemen
from towns across the city Canadian
border and from Buffalo helped the Mag.
ara Falls department a double wall
separating the hotel from the theatre
building prevented spread of the fire.
1t had been reported recently that the
government was to take over the In
ternational hotel for lise as a war hos.
pitaf. The hotel formerly the Eagle
tavern, had history dating back more
han a century. General LAFAYETTE
when he visited the United States In
1924, was entertained at the tavern. Dan
ell Webster was a frequent guest. and
many members of European royal famil-
es had visited the hotel President Me-

DRIVERS LEG BROKEN.
When His Horse Threw Him Against
Pole.

/ Felix Bouleriee. a Websteryille farmer
sustained a fracture of the left leg late
this forenoon when his horse, attached
to light hay rack, took fright at a
street car on South Main street and
threw the driver against telephone pole
in front of f. A. Slayton's residence. The
accident was witnessed by the motor
man, who stopped his car. At the same
time men from the fire station down
the street ran to the farmers assistance,
among the first to reach him being Chief
Gladding, w. H. Ward and the driver of
the depart rtment pung. When they ar
rived the man lay in the street and as
they lifted him to an improvised cot, the
injured leg hung limp.
No doctor was called until the man had
been removed to the City hospital. cold
wind was blowing from the north, and
men who hastened to Boulerice's assist
anee. were anxious to shelter him as soon
as possible He was warmly clad and the
trip TO the hospital was not delayed.
II is not thought that the brief exposure
will postpone his recovery.
Neither of the sleds which bore the
hay rack was badly damaged, although
the frame work OF the outfit was
considerably. Mr., Boulerice.
who was returning to Websteryille after
delivering a load here in the city. was
seated on the side of the rack and when
the car came along the horse reared SO
suddenly that he did not have time to /
brace himself. Previous to to-day's ac- |
cident, Mr. Boulerice's left leg had been
fractured twice.

sion, to fill out the enclosed blank, enti-
tied, Official Report of Local Committee.
as substitute for previous blank recon-
mending price, and return such blank
containing revised price and data at once
to said fuel administrator. In case any
local fuel committee decides that its
former recommendation of price should
stand, said committee is hereby instruct |
ed to so inform said fuel administrator. |
y. Upon determination of price by a |
local fuel committee, and in accordance |
with the foregoing instructions, said |
committee is hereby directed to advise at |

town or city concerning the price recon- |
mended at which coal shall be sold with

SINGLE MEN TO BE TAKEN.
And Those Who are Not Skilled Work
men, for the Army.

Washington, D. G., Jan. 4-All men for
the war armies still to be raised by the
United States will come from Glass One
under the new selective service plan.
That means the nations fighting is to
be done by young men without families
dependent upon their labor for support
and unskilled in necessary industrial or
agricultural work.
Provost Marshal General Crowder an
nouneed the new policy in an exhaustive
report upon the operation of the lelec-
tive draft law submitted yesterday by
Secretary Baker and sent to Congress.
He says Class One should provide men
for all military needs of the country and
to accomplish that object he urges
amendment of the draft law so as to
provide that all men who have reached
their 2lst birthday since June 5, 1917,
shall be required to register for classi-
fication. Also in the interest of fair dis
tribution of the military burden, he pro-
poses that the quotas or districts be
determined hereafter on the basis of the
number of men in Class One and not
upon population.

Wilson laid before Congress in joint ses-
sion to-day his recommendations for
carrying out the government operation Of
railroads, Bills to carry out his ideas
had been prepared and were introduced
Immediately, with plans for prompt con-
sideration in both the House and the
Senate.
After stating that he had taken over
the railroads, the president said the step
seemed necessary in the interest of the
public welfare. 1t had become neces-

by Director General McAdoo based upon
specific recommendations made yesterday
by committee OF eastern passenger
traffic officers. The committee was diyid-
ed as TO the advisability of withdrawing
most parlor and sleeping cars, leaving
only those considered most necessary for
important travel routes.
Hours of labor of railway employees
under government operation was dis
cussed by the director general yesterday
with heads of the four railway brother
hoods, and the question of wages will be
taken up at further conferences to-day
The railway brotherhood leaders spent
nearly three hours with the director
general, most of the time being devoted
to discussing the possibility that the
government may call on railway eElploy
es to work much over time in order to
clear present freight congestion. This
would involve extra wages, which the
railroad administration is to be willing
to pay ON the basis of ''time and half"
now maintained by railroads for over
time.
The brotherhoods' demands for 40 per

ON SAVING FUEL.
State Fuel Administrator is Sending Out
Instructions.

Soon the state fuel administrator will
cause to be distributed directions for tn,
operation of ranges, furnaces and boil
ers and in disseminating literature de
signed to further conservation, the ad
ministrator, II. J. M. Jones. with the
| local fuel committees. win seek the 60

here in Barre manufacturers are in re-
ceipt of posters to be placed in con.
! spicuous spot in or near their boiler
rooms, and when the schools reopen, il
not before. the youngsters will be asked
to carry home the gospel of fuel con
servation in the form of printed instrue-
tions, hints and suggestions.
Here is the predatory explanation !.
"The army and navy are burning mil.
lions of tons of coal, patrolling the ocean
and keeping a steady stream of men and
was supplies moving across the Allan
tie. The munition factories and 9th
er plants are working day and night,
turning out supplies, and are burning
huge quantities of coal Our railroads
are oyertaxed moving the raw materials,
food and munitions needed by the army
and navy. Miners are scarce, many have
gone across, and others are building ships,
helping in the steel plants and doing
other needed work You can help lot,
right at home. Half ton saved in ev-
ery home means ten million tons saved
for the war. 1t means more men to
fight on the line or behind the line for
Uncle Sam.
How to save: Burn wood, oil and gas
in place of coal for cooking and heatiny,
whenever possible. Keep your house as
much below 20 degrees as your condi.
tions allow In rooms where special
heat is required use wood fires. oil. ga
or electric heaters. Shut of the heat
in unoccupied rooms and in bedrooms
where windows are left open at night. |
whenever there is no danger of freezing
pipes. Make the house tight. Meni
broken window panes. Put on weather |
strips. Ii YOU have double windows, put /
them on. Pull down the window shades |
At dusk. A drawn shade acts like dou-
Die window in keeping out the cold TO
surprisingly large degree. Raise the
shades when the sun is shining. II is /
'ree heat Save electricity and gas. Do
rot light empty rooms. Burn fewer and
mailer lights. Do not burn lights in

lot waste hot water. Put a thermometer I,
