FOOD FOR NORTH RUSSIA
London Daily Mail Reports Establish ment By British Government of h. formal Relations With Maxim Lit
 vlnotf Appointed By BoshevikI.

New York.-The peace negotiations between the Bolsheviki and the repre- sentauves of the quadruple alliance at Brest Litovsk continue. but without definite results. Another delay in the assembling of the Constitutional As semly is likely because of the issu- ance of a decree at Petrograd provid- ing for new elections to replace mem bers of the Constituent Assembly who are deemed not fit to represent the interests of the workmen and peas ants
 According to reports from the Rus sian capital, Northern Russia is to receive ample food supplies from Uk- raine, through the reconciliation Of the Bolshevih and the Ukrainians. Every effort has been made in the last few weeks by the Bolsheyik au- thorities to prevent the threatened famine in Petrograd and other cities of Russia where the Bolsheviki hold the power.

 The London Daily Mail reports the establishment by the British govern ment of informal relations with Max. i'm Litvinoff, recently appointed by the Bolshevik government as Russian ambassador at London. The eXplana- tion of this, according to the Mail, Is that possibly Lenine and Trotzky, If they retain the de facto power, might eventually give heed to the counsel of the allied governments and it is not desirable that communication with Petrograd be cut of.
 A meeting of the crown council at Berlin is reported by the Lokal An 2eiger. composed of Field Marshal von Hindenburg, General von LudendorfI, the crown prince and other German leaders. Relations with Russia prob ably will be the most important sub lect discussed.

Petrograd dispatch to Stockholm reports. M. Nakousky is said to have been invited to Petrograd by Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshivik premier.

From the annual report of the secre- tary of the interior
 "In this department we have during the past year had a glimpse of the ex- handing romance of chemical study. We have found adventure in the search for the hidden secrets of petroleum, natural gas and coal tar, of coal smoke and the refuse from a hundred fur naces aud smokestacks. We appear to have suddenly driven into chemical age or perhaps il would be more ae- curate to say that we have suddenly realized that we are such an age. New explosives, new fertilizers, new sou:ces of power, of food, new materials Tor construction and destruction. new conservatives of life, and new agencies for the sweetening and wholesoming of life-these are to the credit Of the modern chemist, and as byproduct of this war we are to have higher ap- nrecIation of this branch of science, and our genius for discovery which has so greatly been applied to problems Of mechanics will find in analytic and synthetic chemistry a field of oppor- tunity subject b almost infinite ex- pension."
