 The bolsheviki have as general offi- cers and battalion and company lead CTS many officers of the former Rus sian Emperor's army who were forced either to serve on pain of death or imprisonment or who are serving for high pay. The bolsheviki do not trust these men and to nearly every one is attached a "commissar' whose prin- cipal duty seems to be to spy on the officer and report him for punishment II ilS ollON SlS Ilo ol WdNtI lllS,
 Opposing the Americans and the al- lies on this front is the bolshevik Sixth army with general headquarters at Vologda. whose commander in chief is General Gittis, formerly commander of one of the Lettish brgades in the old Russian army.

B. R. |. &P. CO. FINED $500 IN RECORDERS COURT YESTERDAY
Weather, Health and Labor Conditions Augury for Improvement of Service,
 President Pevear Says

Fined 5000 in the aggregate by Re- corder Martin yesterday for failure to provide proper car service, President Pevear did not finish the day until he was served with four more warrants for failure to maintain the proper schedule
 The company offered no evidence in the cases tried by Recorder Henry J. Martin yesterday. They were found guilty in each case. This makes a total of s2S00 in fines assessed against the company by Recorder Martin. The cases will be appealed to higher court bond of s200 being required in each case.
 President Pevear states that he con fidently expects an improvement in conditions immediately. The influenza epidemic which almost put his shor and repair crews out of business, the snow and ice which tied up the car system and the restrictions by the gov ernment on getting materials are all thing of the past now, and he believes that he will soon be able to show m Improvement that will prove to the people that he is taking advantage h every means to improve the service.
 Another thing in favor of the con- pany is the clarifying of the labor sit uation, V hich is showing marked inn provement. This is very encourag ginS to E. R. l.. X P officials, and they hope that their repair department will soon be back to normal numbers, and thal they will be enabled to put their rolling stock in better condition immediately
 With reference to the increase in street car fares, MT. Pevear states thai he is not asking the public service commission to take this action. and does not know that they will do so. He further states that he will not ask that any passenger be arrested for failure to pay his fare and that no cars will be sidetracked when passenger does fail to pay, but that fin case a whole carload refuse to tender their fare to the conductor, there would be nothing else to do but to go into the sidetrack until they changed their minds
