turcd 5000 railway cars l2O field
guns, 1000 machine guns, 80 auto
mobiles, an entire wagon transport,
several armorcd trains and -eyeral
thousand horses.
His maneuvre was a complete
surprise to the bolshcviki as
proved by the fact that he captured
several prominent soviet leaders
at the headquarters OF the Third
bolsheviki army
Ten bolsheviki regiments are de
clared to have been annihilatcd. and
the rest, OF the enemy army was
driven across the Kama river.

london, Jan. ACCOMPANYING the
speech OF Premier Clemenceau be-

is no fundamental discrepancy be-

The newspaper says.
"All that NJ. Clemenceau says OF
the diiterence-contract we may call
it-between the positions OF France
is simple truth. France sees and
feels what a German invasion
means and demands absolute secut-
ity against a recurrence OF The

the sufferings she yet cniures.
MIR. Wilson is equally determined
to deliver her from those evils,

SENATOR WEEKS ALSO COM
PLAINS OF DELAYS IN
SOLDIER MAIL
CITES MANY INSTANCES
Says Red Cross Has Received 20
Letters a Day From Parents
Notified of Killing of Sons From
Whom They Received Letters
Bearing Later Dates.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The war de-
partment was sharply criticised in
the senate today by Senator Weeks
republican, for delays and errors
in compiling casualties among the
cXpeditionary forces and for failure
to cooperate with the Red Cross
in the matter OF forwarding letters
from wounded soldiers to relatives
in this country.
Criticism was directed especially
at the Office OF the adjutant-gen-
eral OF the army, Senator Weeks
saying that Major-General Mccain,
the adjutant-general who retired
last summer to command diyis-
ion, and who was succeeded by
Major-General Harris, should have
been retained. He could not be-
lieve, he said, that a change in the
office during the war was business
like or desirable
Senator Weeks declared that the
war departments information as to
casualties often had beer wrong.
During the week ended Dec. A."
he slater, the Red Cross received
an average OF 20 letters day from
parents who had been advised by
the war department that their sons
had been killed on specific date
| In every one OF these cases, the
parents wrote that they had receiv-
ed communications from their
boys subsequent to the date given
by the war department. That seems
almost miraculous, that so many
errors could have occurred in
cases OF this kind
1t was also worth noting, the
Massachusetts senator continued,
that in sending reports of casualties
to families, the war department
simply stated that the individual
had been killed or wounded, with
out further information, and so far
as he knew the department had no
further information on the sub
jcct
THAT work." he added. "has
very properly been taken up by the
| Red Cross, and it i, testified that
in the neighborhood of 10000 let

families OF those killed or injured,

death or condition Of the injured
