.BOLSHEVIK REGIME
LOSING STRENGTH
PREMIER LEVINE REPORTED TO
FAVOR SURRENDER OF THE
RoLsH1vIK REGIME
TUOTzKY OPPOSES PROPOSAL
Lenine Undoubtedly Has Increased Ar
mics And Gained Some Mil
ittary Successes

Paris.-Authentic information re-
ceived in Paris concerning recent de-
velopments in Russia indicates that
the strength and prestige of the Boil
shevik government at home has con-
siderably weakened in the last few
months. although Premier Lenine and
his associates have succeeded IN
strengthening their armies and gaining
considerable military success in west
ern Russia.
Premier Lenine, apprehensive of po-
litical developments and the possioii-
ity of a vigorous allied intervention
is reported to have proposed to the
executive committee of the Soviet
congress that the Bolsheviki surren-
der. Trotzky, Karl Radek and For
eign Minister Tchitchein opposed the
proposal vigorously. However, Len
ines proposal was defeated by ma
jority of only twelve votes out of two
hundred cast.
The prospect of foreign Intervention,
it is said, has brought to the Bolshe-
Wiki support from certain elements
which dislike Intervention as such, and
who fear that Intervention might re-
suit in counter-revolution and the
restoration of worse monarchy than
had existed before the revolution. the
Bolsheviki army is estimated to num-
Der three hundred thousand men. IL
is said to be we'll equipped and under
complete control of it's leaders The
high pay offered by the Bolshevik, who
also control the food supplies, has en-
abled the leaders to maintain discl-
pine and to attract recruits.
Bolsheviki Not Represented In Paris
Representatives of the various Rus
sian governments, with the exception
of the Bolshevik, are now at Paris, or
are on their way to Paris, to ad-
yocate their claims before the peace
conference. Sergius Sazonoff, the for
mer foreign minister in the old re-
CINE, now representing the Kuban and
Omsk governments; NJ Tschaikoysky,
president of the northern republic;
ex-Premier Lvoff and Boris Bakhme-
teff and other ambassadors of the Ker-
ensky government are among the very
prominent emissaries at the confer
ence But thus far no Russian gov
crnment has been recognized.

Farmers Paying Fines To Get Labor

Farmers Paying Fines To Get Labor
Atlanta. The big demand that is be-
ing made for agricultural laborers has
caused remarkable falling off in the
number of prisoners at the Fulton
county convict camps, and because of
the consequent loss of labor for road
building, much of which is furnished
the county through misdemeanor Of
tenders convicted in the courts, the
board of commissioners of roads and
revenues is faced with problem that
promises to become knotty one. This
state Of affairs was brought to light at
meeting of the county commissioners
and, at the same time, it was decided
that one of the four camps now being
maintained for convicts in the county
would be abolished. The great need
for farm labor in this section has not
only caused landowners to go to dis
tant portions of the state, and even
into other states, looking for man
power, but many fines have been paid
for negroes serving sentences in the
various convict camps,

changes In Highway Law Favored

Changes In Highway Law Favored
Atlanta Decided progress in the
movement to give Georgia better high
ways and an up-to-date road system
was made at the joint meeting Of the
budget and investigating commission,
the highways legislative committee and
the state highway commission, held In
the office OF Governor Dorsey, when
proposals for radical changes in the
present cumbersome method led to
definite plans for the passage OF a
new highway law at the next general
assembly. After an all-day session
during which time all phases OF the
subject we're thoroughly gone into,
Governor Dorsey asked all the commit
teemen to come together again on Feb
ruary rs, with the further request that
the legislative committee should have
ready then a tentative bill relative to
the state highway system, which could
be put into final form and recommend
ed to the legislature by all three OF
the cooperating commissions. The
unanimity Of opinion at the first con.
ference was a most encouraging fea.
ture OF the days work and led to
the belief that there would be no diff
ficulty in realizing this wish of the
governor, which is to offer to the law
makers prospective law which has
the combined support of all those
charged with any responsibility for
Georgia roads.

Atlanta Before the echoes of the
great war have died away, and while
the memory of the heroism of the
Georgia boys who fought for their
country still is fresh in the minds and
hearts of their home folk, Atlanta will
build splendid memorial in the hon

decided upon, and steps have been
taken to carry out the idea. Plans still
are to be worked out, the form which
the memorial will take is yet to be
decided, the funds are yet to be sub
scribed. But these are details which
will be taken up later on.

This is the opinion expressed by Lord

replied that, in the case of Germany,
