of Service.

Washington.-Rest Of normal

taken by the railroad administration,
said Director-General McAdoo in a
statement addressed to THE American
People" withdrawing his plea made
last January for curtailment of passen-
ger travel for the war emergency. A
number OF the trains. he announced,

"The war now being practically
over" said the statement, "it will be
the policy of the railroad administra-
ton during the remaining period OF

best service of which the railroads are
capable. AS rapidly as possible ser
vice will be improved, although trains
which were run under private control
merely for competitive reasons, will
not be restored Such service was un-
necessary.

TARY HEADS SUPPRESS
GEN. kALMlkOFF.
WARNED AGAINST 0UTRAGES
Situation at khabarovsk Bordered on
Open Hostilitics--It Is Said That
Cossacks Had Robbed and
MaItreated People.

Vladivostok:-The suppression OF
Gen. Kalmikoff, commander of the Cos
sacks on the Ussuri river front, by
Joint action OF the American and jap
anese military authorities, has re-
moved an element which threatened
open hostilities at Khabarovck. The
situation had become tense. 1t had
it's origin in the arrest, persecution
and execution by Kalmikoff Of appar-
emily innocent inhabitants of the re-
gion. In some instances, it is alleged,
the bodies of the victims OF executions
were left for the dogs to eat.
Learning of the state of affairs, the
American commander in Khabarovsk
protested to Kalmikoff and also COM
municated with Maj j.-Gen. William S.
Graves, the American commander in
Siberia, who consulted with Gen. Olani,
the Japanese commander. Both gen.
erals joined in warning to Kalmikoff
against his high-handed methods and
threatened that unless he ceased them
they would interfere by force.
Russians from the Khabarovsk dis
trict described the entire Ussuri region
as being in terror. On the pretext of
searching for arms, it is asserted, Cos
sacks robbed and maltreated the peo-
pie. If any Of them resist they are
murdered in cold blood or are arrested
on charges of Bolsheyism and exc
cuted in squadrons. 1t is asserted that
in spite of a cessation in the wholesale
killing of the people, citizens continue
to disappear. The people declare that
Kalmikoff, who is 2S years old, is not
Cossack, but was elected their leader
early in October, Since then he has
pursued the tactics of bandit.

suqoests Work On Highways.

The secretary thought it would be
only for brief period, If at ALL that
the government would have to provide
employment, but that the precautlon
should be taken. He suggested exten.
sive work on highways, rivers and har.
bors and public buildings under new
appropriation bills being framed by
house committees, adding: THE re
storation of the industries may not
take place as fast as rehabilitation,
so a reservoir of opportunities should
be created to care for men for brief
period.
From the time we restore ourselves
to our normal postwar production the
demand for labor will be SO great that
there is not a remote chance of re-
duced wage rates. The manufacturer
who does not maintain his force for
the short readjustment period will be
handicapped"

GERMAN SHIPS TO BE USED
100000 Cargo Tons In German Har
bors May Be Placed Under Al
lied Control To Supply Ger
mans With Food.

Copenhagen.-The German armistice
has been extended until o'clock on
the morning of Jan. II, and the allies
have notified Germany that they re-
serve the right to occupy the neutral
zone east of the Rhine, from the Co.
logne bridgehead to the Dutch from
tier, according to a dispatch from
Treves.
The message states that the follow
ing condition has been added to the
armistice agreement of Nov. IL:
"The supreme command of the allies
reserve the right, should it consider
this advisable, and in order to obtain
fresh guarantees, to occupy the neutral
zone on the right bank of the Rhine
north OF the Cologne bridgehead and,
as far as the Dutch frontier. Notice.
of this occupation will be given six
days previously"
Marshal Foch, adds the dispatch, has
announced in behalf Of Herbert q
Hoover, that 100000 tons of cargo
space lying in German harbors must be
placed under allied control to supply
Germany with foodstuffs. The ships
are to remain German property.
The naval representatives demanded
the surrender of the German battlei
ship Bade instead of the Mackensens
Erzberger protested, but in vain.
A new condition accepted by the
Germans provides that the allies may
upon six days notice, occupy the whole
neutral zone on the right bank OF tho
Rhine from the Cologne bridgehead as.
far as the Dutch border if the allies.
deem it advisable TO obtain fresh guar,
antees.
The Germans promised to surrender
by Jan. 18, 500 engines, 100000 freight
cars and 5000 motor lories.
The armistice is subject to further
prolongation.

Before the war the estimated

Germany were taken there would not

should pay to the utmost limit of her

When the prime minister was ad-

Great Britain would be guilty of great
folly If she gave up her navy.
