SWIFT ATTORNEY
DENIED ACCESS
TO vEEDER FILES

Chicago, March 15-Attorney
Francis J. Heney, baked in efforts
to obtain the confidential files in the
vaults of Henry Veeder, counsel for
Swift & Co., resumed today the pack
ing house inquiry without them.
The inquiry is by the federal trade
commission and designed to throw
light on the entire meat industry,
from the cost of feed to the ultimate
price of a porterhouse steak.
NJ. W. Borders, attorney for Nor
ris & Co., and Wilson & Co., was the
first witness. He claimed immunity
from prosecution in any future pro-
ceedings as a result of his testimony.
The witness said that Morris &
Co.'S principal purpose in watching
legislation was to avoid breaking any
of the innumerable laws passed from
time to time. He said they watched
legislative bills also.
Mr.. Borders said he had never lob
bied, nod had he ever employed any
man to go to Springfield for that pur-
pose. He said he had charge of tax
matters for Morris & Co. He knew
nothing of any fund by Morris & Co.
to influence oleomargarine legisla-
ton

and given attention by soldiers and
railroad men.
The wrecked cars were jammed
against the side of the cut, making
difficult the work of taking out the
dead and injured. The first two cars
and the last three remained on the
rails, but the sleeping car next to
those wrecked jumped the track and
its passengers were shaken up.
Several soldiers who were in the
smoking car rendered first aid to the
injured and assisted in the rescue
work until arrival of relief trains
from this city and Lancaster.
Railroad officials who went to the
wreck reported the cars as badly
broken and that it would be hours be-
fore the wreclage could be cleared
away. The wrecked cars carried a
total of 46 passengers.
2. E. Edwards of Harrisburg, con-
ductor of the train, suffered fractures

Moscow, Tuesday, March 12
Moscow again has become
the official capital of Russia.
1t was Peter the Great who
moved the seat Of government
from Moscow to Petrograd, his
name city, which he founded,
and after 200 yedrs the govern
ment has. been transferred by
its present head, Nikolal Le-
nine, back to the historic capi-
tai in the heart of Russia.
Lenine and virtually all the govern
mental commissioners except Leon
TrotZky arrived here tonight and Of
ficially opened the various ministries
today, preparatory to the session of
the all-Russian congress on March

as have the government archives, but
today the first anniversary of the
Russian revolution, marks the actual
transfer of the new government, and
is celebrated as a national holiday.
Some of the bureaus and many of
the archives have' been placed at
Niji-Novogorod, but most of the min
istries are in Moscow, where they will
remain indefinitely, unless the Ger
man invasion should render a further
reterat necessary. Trotzky remained
at the head of the council of COM
missioners for the Petrograd COM
mune, which has organized its own
ministries of the army, navy, finance
and supplies.
The delegates to the congress are
arriving by every train. OF the 1000
expected 400 now are here. The in
dications are that Lenine retains a
firm grasp on the situation and that
the congress will vote to ratify the
peace The members of all parties
and factions, however, are asserting
that the peace necessarily will be
only temporary, affording an oppor-
tunity for the demobilizing of the re-
manning fragment of the old army
| and the forming of a new Socialist
army.

.AME ERICANS HOLD
ENEMY TRENCHES
NEAR ~LUNEvILLE:

With the American Army in
France, March IA, 10 p. m.-(By the
Associated Press)-American troops
in the Luneville sector have occupied
and are holding enemy trenches
northeast of Badonviller, which they
forced the Germans to abandon
through recent raids and concentrated
artillery fire. The trenches have been
consolidated with ours.
This, though a small forward
movement, marks the first perman-
ent advance by the American army
in France. The consolidation of the
trenches enables the Americans and
French to operate from higher
ground than heretofore.
The Germans made only feeble at
tempts to retake the position, and
each time were repulsed.

The premier reiterated that if it
came to a question of choosing be-
tween bread and beer, the govern
ment would not hesitate a moment.
1.-THE present" he said, 'is an hour
of grave national emergency, the ap-
peal of war is greater than patriotism
because it is an appeal for help
against the forces of brutality and a
cry of conscience against the greed
and lust of one power The function
of the churches is to keep the nation
up to the level of it's high purpose
when entering the war. No nation has
ever entered war with a more holy
purpose. The churches must keep
the war to the end a holy war; any
thing else would disgrace the memory
Of the heroic dead"
Instead of having hunger at one
end and surfeit at the other, said the
premier, there is a fair distribution
among all classes and ranks. He ad-
ded:
"Show me any way by which we
can make peace without betraying
the great and sacred trust for which
we entered the war I will listen
gladly. gratefully, and thank God for
the light given me. Short of that
mere peace talk is undermining the

his fathers farm and in working in
the lumber woods. He had practical

SOVIET CONGRESS
RATIFIES. GERMAN
PEACE TREATIES

Petrograd, March 15-The all
Russian congress of soviets, meeting
in Moscow yesterday, by a vote OF 453
to 80, decided to ratify the peace
treaty with the Central powers.
NJ. Ryazonov, a prominent Bolshe-
vik theorist, and representatives of
all the professional unions, resigned
from the Bolshevik party after the
vote.
German militarism by the peace
terms takes thousands of square
miles of land and millions of inhabi-
tants formerly embraced in the i'm
perial territories of Finland, Cour-
land, Lithuania, Batoum, Kars and
E!rvina. The Russian army must be
demobilized, under the peace terms,
and the naval fleet must be interned.
Germany gets the most favorable OF
commercial and financial relations,
and dominates the food supply OF
Russia. Germany agrees to with
draw her armies from what is left of
Russia, but so far has shown no dis
position to do so.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1918-03-15

The Allies point of view was tnat
they should help Russia in protecting
herself against Germany. Although
he did not think Germany would
send an army TO Vladivostok. he said
he had absolute faith in Japan's 10y

IF Russia had not been at war

ateIy fell into chaos. It is untrue to
say the same thing happened in the
