"Reds" Are Evacuatinq Petrograd-
Enemys Defeat at Narva Was
Complete Rout.

Basic, Jan. 25.--Leon Trotzky, the
bolshevist minister of war and ma
rine, did not escape from Narva after
the defeat Of the, bolshevist army by
the Esthonians, but was taken prison
er, according to dispatches received
from Libau. Advices from the same
source say that owing to the interven-
ton of Finnish troops Livonia has
been cleared of the bOlsheviki.
London, Jan. 25.-The bolshevik
forces are evacuating Petrograd and
removing all stores, according to
dispatch from Helsingfors.
Trotzky has ordered ZinOvien, boil
shevik governor of Petrograd, to sur
render that city without fight if it is
attacked by the northern Russian
forces, according to an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Copenhagen.
In northern Russia, the dispatch
adds, the bolshevik forces have been
defeated and a large part have surren-
dered In addition, great numbers of
peasants are reported to be in revolt
in various parts of bolshevik Russia.
General Zinovieff is a close associ-
ate of Premier Lenine. He has been in
command in Petrograd most Of the
time since the bolshevik capital was
removed to Moscow.

VOTES FOR WOMEN DOMESTIC
Wilson Tells Delegation Conference
Too UnwieIdy to Hope
for Much.

Paris, Jan. Addressing delega-
ton of working women of France at
the Murat mansion, President Wilson
said in part:
mile. Thomson and Ladies:
.''You have not only done me a great
honor but you have touched me very
much by this unexpected tribute, and
may add that you have frightened
me because, realizing the great con-
fidence you place in me, ! am led to
question my own ability to justify that
confidence.
'Yoll have not placed your confidence
wrongly in my hopes. and purposes,
but perhaps not all of these hopes
and purposes can be realized in the
great matter that you have SO much
at heart-the right of women to take
their full share in the political life
of the nations to which they belong.
"That is necessarily domestic
question for the several nations. A
conference of peace settling the rela-
tons Of nations with each other would
be regarded as going very much out
side its province if 1t undertook to
dictate to the several states what their
internal policy should be-"

Of Asia Minor, not subjects of Turkey.
This was put in by Senator Lodge.
The second amendment, also by
Senator Lodge, makes it more defin-
tie that no portion of the food pur-
chased out of the fund is to go to
any of Germany's allies in the war,
and provides that it shall be spent out

garia and Turkey, as well as outside
of Germany proper.

the purchase of wheat to be donated,
preference shall be given to grain
grown in the United States. Senator
Penrose of Pennsylvania was the au-
thor of this amendment.

Chicago, Jan. 25.--Prices for some
food products wholesale prices went
topping Thursday. Butter dropped 5
cents a pound. 13 cents in a week, 10

cents a dozen in the day. Potatoes
went down 80 cents hundred pounds.
The wholesale trade in many food
stuffs was declared to be demoralized !;
in butter, paralyzed. The public and
the trade generally seem to have the
idea that this may be the beginning of

foreign buying has almost wholly
stopped For the first time in years
extensive buying has been started in
Australia and South America. The
comparative corner that the United
States has had on the worlds food

ing $1OO,00O,0OO for European famine

changes in phraseology,l were adopted,
including that by Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, Republican, providing
that wheat donated should be bought
as far as practicable, in America The
prohibition added by the senate
against distribution Of food to enemy
peoples also was approved by the con-
ferees, but the provision was redrafted
SO as to insure that Armenians and
other friendly peoples in enemy terri
tory might become the subjects of re-
lief.

CAPITAL RENTALS ARE HIGH.
Sum Paid by President Washington
for Residence Would Not Be Con-
sidered Extravarant To-day.

Rentals of $500 to $4,000 year
ara not remarkable. There are hun
dreds OF apartments in this city which
rent for more, a great deal more, and
it is likely that the new constructions
in the best apartment-house sections
contain no suites as cheap as $780,
When New York was the capital of
the nation and Washington the chief
executive there were few who paid as
high as 81 700 a year for homes. Rec
ords show that George Washington
paid $500 a year for the use of the
McComb mansion on Broadway while
president Of the United States AS
first citizen of the country it was al
lowable that he should pay so high
rental, but only the president paid
anything like that amount. He got a
good deal more for his money than
the man who pays $1,000 for an apart
ment today.
The McComb house was one Of the
finest homes In the capital. 1t was
built by the best architect in the
colonies and great care and no small
amount of money were spent in the
construction OF the house, which was
large and had many splendid rooms.
It had beautifully laid out grounds
and from a business standpoint was
ideal because it was only a short dis
lance from Federal hall at the north
east corner Of Wall and Nassau
streets, now the subtreasury. Wash
ington extended himself when he paid
this rental, although one Of the rich
est men in the colonies.

Country Is to Be Treated as Friend
and Patient Rather Than Foe
and Outlaw.

Paris, Jan. 24--American won her
first big victory Of the peace confer
ence. The Wilsohian plan as regards
Russia, the plan which calls for the
treatment of that country as friend
and patient rather than foe and out
law, was adopted by the big Five
President Wilson himself had draft
ed it, and he read it in person at the
morning session. At the afternoon
sitting it became the subject Of de-
bate, and when the delegates adj
journed, all were in accord that the
American plan. was the most feasible,
and most practicable.
The plenipotentiaries of the United
States, Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan officially sanctioned the
Wilson proposal
The first step toward the execution
will be an invitation by the associa-
ted powers to all the Russian fac
tons to meet representatives of these
powers on Princes island, in the sea
of Marmora, February Is. The invi-
tation involves q truce between war
ring Russian factions.
The plan, of course, is for the pres
ent an experiment. But it is the only
one with regard to Russia that is
capable and indeed, promising of sue
cess. It's underlying basis, as described
by President Wilson himself, is the
principle that peace in Europe and in
the world cannot be realized until
peace comes in Russia

that they will sentence the Boche to

That is what the Boche did to the

dated January %, the substance of
which was made public by General
March.

II wounded and IL missing. A later
dispatch said subsequent attacks were
repulsed when delivered on the po-
sitions taken up by American forces.
The points attacked by the enemy
lay generally about 100 miles from
Archangel. General March said the
interallied commander there had ade-
Quate troops to reinforce the adj
vanced elements and to handle the sit
uation.
An interallied force engaged at
Shenkurst consisted Of a British de-
tachment, two companies of Americans
and two companies of Russians. These
were attacked on three sides and COM
PEELED to evacuate their positions, as
were also the allied patrols holding
Ust Pedenga The American troops
falling back took a position midway
between this point and Shenkurst. In
one of the attacks reported 1000 en-
envy troops were in action against the
small allied force.
General March pointed out again
that the whole military situation at
Archangel was under the control of
the interallied high command in France.

there to keep order and that they
would leave as soon as assurance was
given that anarchy would not break
out. Bolshevist troops who were ex-

According to stories told by men on
board the British warships the threat
of bombardment was, for the most
part, a 'bluff," as the most the feet
could have done, it is said, would have
been to smash up the town. 1t had
the desired effect, however, and the
commander of the warships was able
to take away every British subject in
safety.

ARMY OF 100000 RETAINED
America to Contribute Ten Divisions.
About 100000 Men, to the Army
of Occupation in Germany, the
General Says.

Washington, Jan. %. - General
March, chief of staff. informed the
senate military committee that ship
ping arrangements had been made by
which 100000 men might be transport
ed home monthly and that all of the
American expeditionary force could be
returned home and demobilized with
in six months.
There are still 7S5,000 men in camp
in the United States and all will be
demObilized within a month from to-
day, except those retained for ''over-
head" duty, General March added.
Up to noon last Saturday, he said,
100000 men had arrived from over
seas.
How many Americans will be held
abroad in the army of occupation is
to be determined by President Wilson,
General March stated, but more Amer
leans already have been designated
for return home than originally pro-
posed by Marshal Foch.
He indicated that ten divisions
(about 100000 men) had been sug-
gested as Americas contribution to the
army of occupation.
Standing Army of 100000.
Discussing Rehabilitation plans gem
orally with the committee, General
March said retention of an American
standing army of 100000 was pro-
posed.
I'VE don't ever expect to reduce be-
low 100000 men-if we can help it,
he said.
Tonnage sufficient to transport 3OO,-
600 men monthly will be available, he
explained, through ships allotted by
the allies combined with German pas
senger tonnage, and the negotiations
are practically completed.
With about 100000 Americans still
overseas, the chief of staff said a
shipping capacity of 100000 monthly
should make it possible to return and
demobilize all within six months.
IF the president agrees to leave
ten divisions, or whatever number, in
the army Of occupation he said, I'VE
can make it in less time From the
beginning General Pershing was in
structed to return men as fast as ship
ping was available.
To Keep Veterans Overseas.
Speaking of the 785,OOO men still in
camp at home, General March said
Every single man will be out of
camp within one month from today,
except those retained for overhead
duty" x
Several senators said they had re-
ceived many complaints because di-
visions which had seen long service
overseas apparently were to be the
last sent home.
This policy General March said was
strictly in accordance with military
plans to hold experienced men in the
army of occupation, adding:
! 1T will keep men who will not un-
duly excite the Germans-or able to
run over them If necessary
