Stockholm, Jan. ga telegram
from Libau says that Esthonia and
northern Livonia are nearly freed of
the bolshevist invasion. Hungerburg
has been taken by the Esthonian vol
unteers, aided by Finnish corps.
Numerous prisoners were taken ana a
rumor is current that among these
was Trotzky himself, who was leading
the bolshevist forces. This is uncon-
f1rmed.
Libau, nevertheless, is threatened
by the bolshevist advance In spite OF
the Esthonian march against them.
Bolshevist doings in Riga and Mitau
continue and alarming plunderings, in
cendiarism and executions are still re-
ported. Among the latter were severaI
members of the high clergy in Riga and
leaders of the democratic socialist par
ty in Mitau. A large part Of the boil
shevist forces in the Baltic provinces
consist of Chinese and Korean merci-
naries, who, principally, are answer
able for these doings. Most of the Let's
who formerly served in the invading
army have left it.

COMMITTEE DIVIDED
Railroad Problem No Nearer Solution
Than When Inquiry BEGAN.

Than When Inquiry Began.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-The senate In
terstate commerce committee, after
three weeks of hearings was no nearer
a solution of the railroad problem today
than 1t was when it began.
The testimony before the committee
has taken a wide range. It waS pre-
dicted by committee members today
that no final action on the railroad
question will be possible before the
closing days of the next congress. If.
as it is expected, public interest in the
question should become so great as TO
make 1t an issue of the 1920 presiden-
tial campaign. no solution will he pos
sible before the results of the election
are known.
Members OF the committee are divided
into several factions. Only a few MEM
bers favor the McAdoo plan of extend
ing federal control for another tve-year
period. Government ownership men on
the committee hold that their theories
should be carried out at once. Oppo-
nents OF government ownership. who
are in the majority, want federal con-
troll continued and legislation enacted
that will put the railroads back on
their feet" but 10 longer.

(By The Associated Press)

Coblenz, Tuesday, June 1.-THE
concentration of troops preparatory
to advancing further into Germany if
the Germans refuse to sign the terms

mandere of American forces in the

FOUR HUNDRED
CANADIANS IN
LONDON RIOT
Unrest at PostpOnement OF
Homeward Sailing Provoke
Outbreaks.

London, June 18.-Unrest among
Canadian soldiers in England because
of continued postponement of home
ward sailings eliminated last night
in an attack by 400 Canadians on the
EPSON police station. Several police
men were wounded, one seriously He
died this morning.
To avoid further trouble the police
released another Canadian in whom
the mob was interested.
During the last few days there has
been trouble in the Canadian camp at
Whitley where the soldiers burned
huts and did other damage, according
to reports. There is much sympathy
here for the Canadians who repeated
ly have been given dates for home
ward sailings, only to be told that
further postponement was necessary
owing to strikes of dock workers at
Liverpool and other ports, or to lack
of transports.
The unrest has not been confined
to the Canadians There also have
been protests by Australians and
New Zealanders. Some Scottish I'M
its, composed of veterans, recently
held demonstration against being
sent back to France while men who
had not seen active service remained
in England or are modified.

(By The Associated Press.)

Nothing definite has become
known as to what action the German
government will take regarding the
peace treaty. At Weimar the docu-
ment is being carefully studied by
the national assembly's peace COM
mission.
Unofficial reports are that there is
great dissatisfaction on the part of
the German cabinet members and
high German officials over what are
considered the extremely hard terms.
1t is said large majority of the cab
met members are opposed to signing
the treaty, but are fearful Of a reign
of bolshevism and consequent choas in
the country should they decline.
German newspapers take a dark
view Of the outcome. Those news
papers which oppose signing let their
pessimism run to the extent of eX-
pecting a resumption Of hosilities by
the allies Monday if the armistice is
permitted automatically to end.
Armies Prepare to Move.
While there is no where any indi-
cation that if circumstances compel
the allied troops to advance further
into German there necessarily will be
fighting, the American, British and
French troops will be prepared for
any eventuality.
With President Wilson in Belgium
and David Lloyd George, British
premier, visiting the battlefields
around Verdun, the council of foreign
ministers and the supreme economic
council were the only sections of the
peace conference in Paris at work
Wednesday. The ish-Ukrainian
situation and details as to the occu.
patton of Danzig by the Poles were
discussed by the foreign ministers
while the economic councils Gelibera-
tions concerned resumption of trade
relations with Germany and financing
of food supplies for Austria.
