CHALMERS GOES TO AID OF
 AMMON0OSIC

Boston, Oct. 13-Anxiety about the British steamer Port Chalmers which was reported on fire at sea Saturday night was dispelled today when Ia dio message from the coast guard cutter Acushnet said that the Port Chalmers was not in any trouble, and was proceeding with two other ves- sels to the assistance of the wooden steamer Ammonoosic. The Am monoosic, the message said, was leak ing fore and aft and would be in dan ger of sinking if her pumps gave out The naval communications of ice here ascribed the report that the Port Chalmers was burning to a confusion of messages. one of which said she was sending up rockets.
 It was believed that the AcushEet would keep on and endeavor to assist the Ammonoosic although the exact location Of the disabled vessel was in doubt, three different positions having been given in radio messages that reached tho navy yard, The last re- port said the Ammopuoaic was jn lat iWde 5elt north, longitude 6o,sS west

FRANCE WILL
 RETURN ID
 PEACE BASIS

Paris, Oct. 13 - Despatches pub lished in the Journal Official this morning place the interior affairs of France on a peace basis, ending the state of seize, lifting the censorship and transferring jurisdiction over police affairs from the army to pre- lectures.
 To end the state of war with Ger many it is still necessary to deposit in the foreign office a text of the treaty signed by President Poincare which will be filed with the ratif1ca- ton document signed by President Ebert of Germany, which is already in hands.
 The exchange of notifications will occur at the foreign office without ceremony in the presence of ambas- sadors of England and Italy and Kurt Won Lersner, Germany's representa- tive. Stephen Pichon. foreign minis ter, will represent France The Brit tsh and Italian notifications have not yet been received, but are expected at any moment, and 1t is hoped the formalities may be concluded rapidly.
 Two sheets will be added to the treaty when 1t is filed, the first set ting forth that representatives of the powers have taken cognizance of the treaty and the second bearing the signatures and seals of the represent atives. The document containing the minutes of the meeting will be filed with the treaty.

RUSSIAN VICTORS WOULD CONFER
 WITH LIFTS
Commander of Russian Forces Invites Let's and Esthonians to Confer
 ence.

Copenhagen, Oct. 13-Clatm1ng to have checked the attack of Lettish troops who landed at Libau from Brit ish vessels and who attacked the left flank of his forces, Colonel AvaIof- Bermondt, commander of the forces of the Russian general govern ment," has, since taking Riga, invited the Let's and Esthonians to confet with him at Mitau. The purpose Of this proposed conference is, accord ing to an announcement by Colone. -Bermondt, to "prevent fur. ther bloodshed and to bring about joint action against the Bolsheviki.'' ''
 There has been no indication of an advance east of Riga by the Ger mano-Russian forces, and 1t seems probable the taking of the city will terminate the offensive for the time being. The landing of 50,0OO Lettish troops at Libau was a new develop ment in operations along the Bal tic, but, with the exception of the reference made to 1t by Colonel Ava loff- -Bermondt, nothing is known as to the success of the movement.
 In the meantime, the town of Yam burg, about 75 miles southeast of Pet rograd, has been taken by the Rus sian northw estern army.
