France Will Get
 10 German Subs

Paris, Nov. 29.-France is to get 10 German submarines, the supreme council decided today in continuing it's consideration of the allotment of German naval tonnage among the allies. France is allowed this num- Der of submersibles, it is explained, because during the war she was un- able to build to the extent of others of the allies, her plants being devot- ed to the making of munitions for the use of all.
 The present understanding is that the remainder of the submarines will be broken up.
 Dispatches from Paris yesterday said the supreme council also had decided that France would get at least five light cruisers and 10 tor pedo boats for reasons identical with those to be given ill the allotment of

Italian Socialists Demand Release of
 Russian Prisoners

Rome, Nov. 2S.--The directorate of the socialist party today wrote Pre- mier Nitti demanding that Russian prisoners taken over by Italy from Austria Hungary after the defeat of the dual monarchy, be released un- conditionally.
 The socialists say they will under take to provide work by which the Russians may support themselves if they desire to remain in Italy. They also demand that the government ne- gotiate with the existing Russian government for the repatriation of the prisoners.
 The Russians are interned on the island of Asinara, off the northwest coast of Sardinia. The socialists claim that the Russians are being unjustly treated, Italy not being at war with Russia. It is pointed out besides that the Russians fought with the entente against the central powers.
 The letter accuses the government of cooperating with the "Czarist dictators" Kolchak and Denikine, by permitting the Russian military mission in Italy to conduct propa- ganda among the prisoners for the object of inducing them to enlist in the Kolchak and Denikine army. The propagandists are charged with us- ing !nhuman means to coerce the prisoners, even arresting those who dared resist bribery.

MEETING WITH SOVIET TO
 BEGIN TUESDAY
EsthOnians and Russians to Dis. cuss Ending State of
 War.

London, Nov. 29.-The Esthonian government has announced that peace negotiations with soviet Rus sia will be begun at Dorphat on Tuesday next, December 2, according to a wireless dispatch from Moscow today.
 The soviet delegates, it is stated, will cross the front in the neighbor- hood of Pskov.
 Altho Esthonia only is mentioned in bolshevik message regarding the impending negotiations at Dorphat, it seems not improbable that both Lithuania and Letvia will join in the parleys, the first peace negotiations of movement to be held by the bol- shevik since their historic conference of 1917 with delegates of the central powers, which led to the peace of Brest-Litovsk. A Dorphat dispatch November 20 reported Letvia and Lithuania had definitely decided to join Esthonia in inviting the boN- shevik to send a delegation to Dor phat to begin peace negotiations, the date for the negotiations then men, toned was December 1. Maxim Lit vinoff, envoy of the Moscow soviet government, was in Dorphat at the time engaged in the negotiations with the representatives of the Baltic states with regard to the exchange of prisoners, arrangements concern ing which were understood to have been agreed to.
 Later advices on the situation, re- ceived in dispatches from Helsingfors cast some doubt upon the attitude of Letvia and Lithuania toward the bolsheviki. there being intimations that some pressure had been expect ed from entente sources upon the Baltic states against any peace ne- gotiations with the soviet. It seem- ed to be conceded however, that at any rate Esthonia has invited the soviet to send peace delegation to Dorphat and that the probabilities seemed strong that the other Baltic states were interested in the propo- sition. Today's advices from Moscow apparently show that Esthonia's po- sition was correctly set forth, the attitude of the other Baltic states, however, being as yet somewhat in doubt.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 WILL DELIVER HIS
 MESSAGE TUESDAY
Session of Congress Is Expected to Last Through the Coming
 Summer.

Washington, Nov. 29.-President Wilson's annual message to con- gress will not be delivered until Tuesday, it was said today at the white house. It is expected to cov- CT a wide range of subjects with particular attention to the industrial situation.
 The president has been working on the message for two weeks, dictating to stenographer in his sick room.
 Because of his illness, the presi. dent will find it necessary to depart from his custom of delivering his message in person.
 Congress will convene in its first reoular session at noon Monday, but will remain in session only long enough to appoint committees noti- flying the president that it is ready to receive a communication and to receive bills and resolutions. It will adjourn then until noon Tuesday when a joint session to receive the presidents message will be held in the house chamber.
 Senators and representatives began returning to Washington today after a brief recess and they are prepar- ing for the many months of hard work ahead. The session is expect ed to continue thru next summer and almost until the presidential election in November. Many matters of im- portance are pending, including the peace treaty, the treaty with Colom- bia compensating that country for the partitioning of Panama, the Pol ish treaty and other international conventions.
 Many measures dealing with rad realism are pending and because of the activities of alien "reds" both houses are expected to take prompt action on this legislation.
 z The industrial situation also is to receive attention along with many other important domestic questions.

When he gets through with the train he pulls the bell cord and as the train slows down he leaps off and disap- pears.
 Robbed Three Trains in Two Weeks.
 In April, 1916, he held up three trains in two weeks. After the first robbery he always sent the railroad notice of the next train he intended robbing. And he always kept h,s word. The railroad put guards on the trains, but Carlisle managed to elude them every time.
 ! Some time after his three robber- ies in 1916 he was captured. A posse searching for him overlook him. He was on foot and immediately sur rendered without attempting to fighs. The posse, not believing he was the party they were looking for, was on the point of releasing him, but he in- sisted that he was Carlisle, all right. He was tried and sent to the state prison for life.
 Look out, Pm going to get out of here, The would tell the guards, ev- cry now and then. Better watch me-"
 Two weeks ago three other con- victs, working in the prison laundry, nailed Carlisle in a big box of laun- dry. The box was carted to the rail- road station and dumped on the plat form. It was dark. Carlisle had hammer with him. He knocked oft a board and crawled out. Three hours later his escape was discovered Twelve hours later he had held up a train.
 Guards Scour Desert.
 Carlisle has escaped" was the flash that went through Wyoming. And the railroads started after him.
 A special train of railroad guards was rushed out to the Red Desert. The guards left the train for an hour while they secured the vicinity When had entered their special train and lad helped himself to two automatic pistols, three repeating rifles and enough shells with which to fight d battle.
 While the guards special was side tracked at Wamsutter, Wyo., Carlis.e went through the town riding the bumpers on a through freight.
 "A nice bunch of guards you've got" he telegraphed from station farther down the line.
 Then, with the aid of a rancher with an automobile, Carlisle went ov. CT to Casper, Wyo., boldly entered newspaper office and asked for news of Carlisle. He walked into the tel egraph office and sent message to the railroad taunting them with their failure to capture him. He wrote out the telegram, laid it on the counter with a sum of money, and got out the door before the receiving girl realized the contents of the message. But the officers couldn't catch him.
 Says Train Robbery Is Fun.
 I'm going down to Omaha on a stock train" he telegraphed from Chadron. When he arrived at Omaha he telegraphed the editor at Casper that he was coming back and "get" him for telling about his visit to the newspaper office.
 Authorities are puzzled as to where Carlisle came from originally. The first thing they knew of him was when he held up a train. He has no criminal record and is unknown in criminal history.
 Il just wanted to see if one fel- low could hold up train and rob it without killing anyone" he said aft CT he was arrested. .Then I just kept at it because it was fun"
 Fun? Sure it's fun to rob a tram all by yourself Lots of fun to see how different people act when you sSy Hands up l certainly enjoy train robbing."
