PETROGRAD SUFFERS
 INCREASING TERROR

LONDON. Feb. 17.-It has been learned from various reliable sources, says Reuters Limited, that the situa- ton in Petrograd and Moscow three weeks ago was worse than ever. Ex- cautions were being continued in the prisons and often were carried out to the lively strains of a regimental band, the victims being lined up at the edge of long. open grave and shot by Let tish soldiers.
 The lot of the workmen,' says Reu- ters. "is desperate under the bolshe- vist regime. The food situation m Petrograd has gone from bad to worse. Hundreds of persons are dying weekly and the present population is a little over five hundred thousand
 "The bolshevists cannot rely upon support from any class, if there were intervention that had for it's object the improvement in food conditions. There is no revolutionary spirit left among the workmen that could be utilized by the bolshevik against the allies.
 "The bolshecists themselves cannot remain in power indefinitely. The prospect is 90 appalling that the peo- pie look 10 intervention by the allies as the only way out of their preseni difficulties

The signing took place at Sunday even ing on board Marshal Foch's private car at Treves. This averts what prom iSed to be a rather critical situation, as if had been reported that the Ger mans might persist in carrying out their intimations of refusal to sign. The new terms, while still withheld, are understood to restrict German op- erations against Poland within certain
 fixed lines, thus removing the danger

GIVES PLANS FOR
 PEACE CONFERENCE

Washington, January 1.-(Special.) 1.-The arrival in Washington of holiday edi- tions of L'Homme Libre, the Paris news- paper of Premier Clemenceau, gives first hand information of the tentative pro- gramme of the peace commissioners.
 This paper declares there will be four sessions. In the first, representatives of the four great nations will meet In the second representatives of smaller states will be admitted. In the third to be the peace conference, representa- tives of enemy countries will be received The fourth will be a conference of the nations of the world called for the or ganization of a league of nations.
 If this programme Is carried out, con- ferences scheduled for early January will be informal in nature, and the first for mal conference will be postponed until February 1. This programme would mean that President Wilson will return to Washington before the completion of the business which carried him abroad, or he will indefinitely extend his visit.
 The news contained in L'Homme Libre, while given credence on account of the source which must have inspired it, is so out of tune with news cabled Amer ican newspapers from Paris, that it is regarded by official Washington as an. other indication that nothing definite has as yet been unanimously determined and that until an officially signed docu- ment is forthcoming, all alleged informa- tion may be taken with precaution.

ALABAMA GIRLS PICTURE
 FOUND IN GERMAN TRENCH

Washington, January L. -(SpeciaL) Just how Tallulah Bankhead's picture got into a German trench and became one of the mural decorations of that trench, may never be known. But there it was.
 head is now a moving picture actress, and her picture is often in magazines. Sometime ago, the Cosmopolitan printed a singularly attractive likeness of this Alabama girl. It was this which was found on the wall of the trench
 This picture was recently returned to Miss Bankhead by an officer in the American army. The Americans stormed and took the trench. When all Ger mans were dead or otherwise gone, the Americans began looking about them. In this way the discovery was made. The officer removed the picture and sent it across seas to Miss BanlIhead.
 It is very probable that previously the German had surprised and fallen into a portion of an American trench, and re- turned with the magazine as part of their booty. Perhaps this literary chap became delighted with Miss Bankhead' s likeness and wished to preserve it where he could always behold it; or perhaps he was cynical enough to desire this Amerl- can girl in the role of presiding genius of a German trench. At any rate it was doing duty on the walls when the Ameri- cans fell among the boche and scattered them.

liam Jennings Bryan, is now an upstand- ing candidate for the democratic presi- dential nomination., is not discarded in Washington as rumor only. though it has been definitely established that MT. Clark is not "upstanding' in candidatorial ca pacity. He may be a candidate but he hasn't announced that fact.
 Asked directly if the report was true, the speaker, with usual abruptness .re- piled, T know nothing about it except that I haven't even heard it.
 At the same time, the speaker would like to be President, or even the nomi- nee of the party. The action of Bryan in the Baltimore convention In leading an eleventh inning attack against the speaker, when formerly, instructed by Nebraska, he had supported, unquestion- ably cost the speaker the nomination at a time when nomination was equivalent to an election, has long rested heavily against his heart. He may not love Bry- an, but he would probably not spurn the advances of the Nebraskan if he should wish to make the amende honorable.
 At the time of the next democratic convention, Clark will be advanced in years, but if he retains his present form will not be prevented by infirmities from making an active campaign.

Little Stories Of the
 DayFron, Washington
UnqueStory of Woman Spy Serving American Cause In Germany-Have Clark and Bryan ''Made Up?" Tallulah Bankhead's Picture Found in
 German Trench
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 1 (Special.) Rosa Litzenauer, Bohemian, former ob- scure music teacher at Milwaukee, may, in after years, be regarded as the wom- an spy heroine of the German war.
 The Washington secret service will not tell the story, or will not even admit that following a certain number. repre- senting Miss Uitzenauer, the word miss ing" is inscribed. But the tale comes straight and in such light that it promises subsequently, to be revealed as fact
 It is said that Miss Litzenauer, at the beginning of the war, offered her serv- ices to the United States; that armed with millions of spurious bread tickets printed in Washington, she made her way to Switzerland, and eventually into Ger many. There she distributed 100000 of these tickets, and caused such decrea ses in the bread supplies, and such distress among the people, that the German gov ernment was in danger of disruption. Having done her work, Miss Litzenauer retired, but in April, 1918, again entered Germany. This time she dispensed with s00o00 tickets, and was capterad-and executed
 This woman, if the story be true, did more damage to the German cause and . German morale than an entire division of troops could have done. But the se- cret service says nothing.

MANY SOLDIERS DO
 NOT WANT SILVER STRIPES

Washington, January 1.-(Special.) )-Sec- retary Baker is again at loggerheads with a large number of the officers and soldiers comprising the army of the United States. He insists that those who did not see service abroad. suffer themselves to become decorated with white service chevrons.
 That such would be authorized became known, but chiefly ignored. And then the secretary said the authorization would be compulsory. While many people think it right that a distinguishing sign be used to denote those who fought in Eu- rope and those who fought at home, they are able to see the situation from the point of the man who must wear silver where others wear gold. For it is true that while large percentage of the 'home guard served in soft places through desire. many others were held at home by military authority only.
 At any rate. a protest has gone up from every state of the union. The silver chevrons, placed just above the sleeves end, provokes smiles. 1t is true, and Is regarded by some critics as akin to the white feather.
 Mir. Baker Is obdurate, however, and daily the silver stripes become more nu- merous on the streets of Washington The officers compelled to wear them are 'sore," and the order will unquestion- ably cause them to get out of uniforms at the very first opportunity.

SUFFRAGETTES START
 PERPETUAL FIRE

Washington January 1.-(special.)-Th suffragettes are Keeping the home fires burning They call their fires, the watch fires" They were started Jan uary 1, and will be kept burning, 1t is claimed, until the passage of the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
 The women who watch are relieved every two hours. The wood for the fires is furnished, according to their claim, by all the states of the union. The sad feature is the fact that the fires are lxindled by pages from the speeches and books and casual remarks of the Presi- dent on the subjects, democracy" "self- determination,' liberty etc.
 The indications are that the Senate cannot be forced to act on the amend ment which has passed the House, be- fore March 1. In that event, the amend ment will be thrown again into the House, where it may be retained for some weeks or months. The anti-suffragettes of the Senate still hold an advantage of one vote over the near two-thrds ma- jority of the suffragists.

 Lloyd George made the same plea. When he won, the republicans joined the French and democrats in applaud ing When the President lost they de- clined to join the French and demo- crats in indulgence of fear for conse- quence, and even tears of regret.
