BOLSHEVIKI ATTACKS
THREATENING JAPANESE

Washington. Dec. 24-Bolshevik at
tacks on points held by japanese troops
along the Siberian railway, which, dur
ing the months of September and Oct
ober, totalled 436 distinct raids, are be-
coming much more frequent and for
midable despite the advent of winter,
with the result. it was stated today in
well-informed quarters here, that the
situation of the Japanese has become
precarious as to require immediate re-
enforcement or withdrawal. American
troops. still in Siberia are further to the
east and consequently have suffered
much less than the japanese soldiers
from these raids.
japanese Ambassador Shdehara has
been in consultation with Secretary
Lansing regarding measures to be taken
to meet the rapidly increasing danger
and these conferences are still pro-
crossing. 1t has been said here that Il
did not appear in view of the sentiment
in the country the American forces in
Siberia can be strengthened, yet Of

at least some show of military force i'm

ernment is willing to permit Japan TO
carry unlided the burden of resisting

be construed as an admission of eE-

two giving mandates in Africa to
Great Britain and Belgium. Final
action on giving others was post
poned on the request Of the Japanese
delegate, Baron Matsui, who objected
to the plan Of mandates.
The mandates considered had been
prepared by the mandate commission
in London. They were in three Sc
ries, denominated type A, type B and
type c. The two mandates adopted
come under type b, providing for ad-
ministration under the regime of the
league of nations. The type A man
dates apply to the Orient and the
type c to the Pacific colonies.
Type C developed the objections
upon the part Of Baron Matsui. He
found they gave Japan less advan-
tages than she had enjoyed in those
colonies under the German rule, it
was stated. Three of the four voting
delegates in the council approved the
drafts, but Baron Matsui reserved the
appreciation of Japan and asked for
time to refer the question to his gov-
ernment.
The details to which the Japaness
representative objected were not dis

London, Dec. 24.-Troops of the
regular Italian army are taking over
the garrison at Fiume, according to a
Central News dispatch from Rome
today. These troops will occupy the

CHASTITY SKELETONS in
RUSTED MAZES OF WIRE

Paris, Dec. 24.--U. N. S.)-More than
a year has elapsed since the last gun
doomed on the western front. yet the
ghestfy skeletons of allied and German
soldiers are still being removed almost
daily from the rusted mazes of barbed
wire in northern France. This is the
picture brought by visitors from the
battle zone who have spent several
days with British burial squads.
In one spot north of Perrone the la
bor units uncovered in a half-buried
trench the bodies of three German SOL
diers pinned to the barbed wire en-
tanglements. They had been shot to
death as they attempted TO c:t their
way through to the British first line.
How their corpses made their way into
the trench is a. mystery
In a thick clump of woods on the
Somme front the searchers found the
skeletons of eight soldiers reclining on
the rusty barbed wire that ran just
outside the parapet on a deep first line
trench. Their uniforms had completely
rotted away. but few buttons made it
appear certain that all were British
Tommies. They had died in an heroic
attempt to rush what was apparently
a shallow German machine gun posi-
ton to the rear.

H0WATT'S ACTION
EXCITES COMMENT

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 24.-Indica-
tions were this morning that Alexan-
der Howatt, president of district No
IA, Kansas miners, and other Kansas
miners officials had bolted the meet
ing which was scheduled with a com
mittee of the Southwestern Interstate
Coal Operators association here.
At the Cordova hotel, where How
att makes his headquarters while in
Kansas City, it was said Howatt had
arrived in Kansas City this morning
but had left for Pittsburg, Kan.
At the headquarters of the opera
tors, where the Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma district miners officials
wel to meet with the operators, none
of the Kansas miners officials had
appeared at 10 o'clock. Officials OF
the miners of the other three states
however. were on hand to negotiate
with the operators on application OF
the government advance in wages.
Whether Howatt intends to ignore
the operators is not yet known. 1t
was suggested that he might have
bolted the meeting with the opera
tors because of the strike situation in
the Kansas fields, intending to first
straighten out his affairs with the
miners before meeting with the oper-
ators.

BROKERS MAY
Be SUMMONED
To Explain Connection in AL
legged LEAK" in Supreme
R Court.
NEW TURN In CASE

Washington, Dec. 24.-Q. N. ST.
Certain New York and Washington
brokers may be called upon to ex-
plain their connection with members
OF the gang of spectators which has
been operating in both cities in
stocks affected by decisions handed
down by the supreme court.
The probe into the alleged leak in
supreme court decisions, begun at
the Instance of Chief Justice White
himself, upon revelations made to
him through the International News
Service, Is known to have brought to
light certain unusual methods of
trading in Wall street and the brok-
ers in question may be called upon
to tell why the ordinary routine was
not observed. This is the latest turn
in the leak" case.
Secret service men in Washington
and New York have discovered that
round about methods were adopted
by certain brokers who acted as the
agents of some of the spectators
whose conduct is now under investi-
cation. The suspicion of one brok-
erage firm is said to have been
aroused 10 such an extent that a let
ter was written some time ago to
government authorities calling their
attention to what appeared to be al
most certain evidence of a leak" in
the decisions of the supreme court.
The parties suspected are under
stood to be the same as now in
volved in the probe. Suspicion was
east upon the activities of these
SPECTATORS because the stocks they
traded in, it Is said. were almost in
variably stocks certain to undergo a
heavy rise or fall through the deci-
-sions of the court, and the method
used, so it seemed to the brokers
handling 1.-The deals, indicated the
spectators had advance information
on how the decisionS would go.
Chief william J. Flynn and Capt.
Frank Burke. of the bureau of in
vestigation of the department of JUS
tice, with the operatives in New York
and Washington, are now unsnarling
these new kinks, among otf RS in the
case. The charge is not made that
any of the brokers had knowledge
of. a leak" in decisions, nevertheless
seeming peeuliarities in some OF the
transactions carried out by them in
certain stocks are being made the
subject of inquiry.

EUROPE SHOULD
POOL SUPPLIES
Gen. Bliss Describes Plan.
Which He Thinks Would
Remove Unrest.
WOULD INCLUDE GERMANY
But Exclude Russia - VIII
Will Settle Matter Of
Bolshevism.

Washington, Dec. 24.--Europe's
most urgent need today Is the pool
ing Of its food supply and the estab-
lishment Of proper distribution facili-
ties under a director general. in the
opinion of Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, a
member of the American peace dele
CATION, who arrived here today from
Paris.
Such an arrangement, said Gen.
Bliss, would remove discomfort,
strengthen morale and aid over their
formative period the new govern
ments which have been created as .
result OF the war.
Germany should be included in the
economic coalition, Gen. Bliss said.
With Germany excluded, he declared
there would be an element OF discon-
tent which would inevitably react on
the other countries.
Gen. Bliss saw no possibility OF In
cluding Russia in the distribution
plan, but he said IL the present so-
ca led government of that country
would play fair with the rest Of the
world for thirty days and during that
time the general distribution of ne
cesstes could be worked to include
Russia" he believed the present sit-
uation in Russia would be completely
changed.
No Reason for Famine.
There is no reason for famine
threatening any portion of Europe,
Gen. Bliss said, despite the destruc-
tol and loss of production during
the war. He estimated food produce
ton this year In Europe to be be-
tween so and S3 per cent. of normal.
Interruption of distribution and
boarding OF excess 3 pplies explains
the present economic situation, In his
OPT pilion.
Gen. Bliss disclosed that because
proper authority was at first withheld
from Marshal Foch. the latter had called
a council at Beauvais. April 8, 1918. and
offered to resign. Instead of accepting
the resignation. the council voted to
give Foch full authority.

OFCOAL COMMISSION
Monday to Plan for Inquiry,
Indiana Operators Con-
ciIiatory.

Washington, Dec. 24.-President
Wilson today issued a call for a
meeting here Monday Of the special
commission appointed to investigate
wages and prices in the bituminous
coal industry. The commission at
that time is expected to lay plans
for its inquiry, which probably will
continue several weeks.
Cost figures on coal are in the
hands of the most of the United
States district attorneys, it was stated
at the department of justice today
On the basis of these figures, the dis
.trict attorneys will determine what
us a fair price for coal and bring
charges protiteering against those
who make unfair charges.
The coal cost figures were sent out
yesterday by Assistant Attorney
General Ames and carried specific in
structions that the IA per cent in
crease in wages to the miners was
not to be added to the fair price fol-
coal to the public.
District Attorneys will be given
considerable discretion in determin-
ing fair prices.
Won't Block Settlement.
Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. 24-Opera-

will not block the coal settlement un-
der the plan proposed by Presiden,
Wilson, but on the contrary will

Gated in a statement issued last nigh
by Phil II! Penna, of Terre Hnute
spokesman for the operators In the
operators negotiations with the min.
ers. In his statement Mr.. Penna said
the operators, in joint meeting with
the miners on Nov. 27, offered a reso-
luton providing for the creation of 6
commission composed of men repre-.
senting equally the miners, operators
and the public. The resolution, he
said, rs in perfect accord with the
presidents action" although the lat.
ter differed in some details about
which the operators feel they shoult
have been consulted in advance.
AT the Nov. 27 meeting, Mr.. Penns
declared, all the operators (who rep.
resented all states in the centra
held) voted "yes" on the resolution.
This attitude of the operators,
the statement concluded, has no
been changed in any particular BY
