RUSSIAN-ENTENTE

Paris, Feb. 12 (By the Associat Press. .)-ProspectsI are brighteni for the assembling of at least four the Russian factions at the conf ence to be held on the Princes z lands.
 Word has come that the Ullrat government will participate, and Is reported that the indecision of t government of General Denikfne il given way to a desire to Join the cd ference. The government of Il Crimea already has accepted the l NitAtion, as has the Russian Bl SheNtk government,
 Ii IS beginning 10 appear that sufficient number of other factio1 will be in evidence to meet il BolSheViki and the Entente ad American representatives to assu| the success of the conference pla The success of the conference, ho1 ever, is believed to depend upon u willingness of the Moscow Soviet give certain guarantees, such as t cessation of hOstilitieS and the wit draWal of he BolsheVik forces fro the provinces which they have i vaded. It is by no means certa that the Soviet government will agr to any such guarantees.

One of the questions which now arises in the town is what kind 0t q welcome can be planned to the boNS ofs the 18th division who are due to arrive in this country at an early date. This question has been left in the hands of the local war bureau and ]. committee will probably be ap- pointed to make some arrangements. It has been advised that mem orlal bridge be constructed on the same plan as a number of other towns in the state have done, but whether thus will be considered is to be determined by the committee. Two of the local societies have already made plans for he homecoming. They are Foresters # America and St. PauIs T. A. B. society.
 The local committee. which has hee1 appointed by the Berlin War Bureau in regard to the memorial which is to be constructed, bearing all Inc names of persons in the service from Berlin as yet have held no meet ing but a report is expected to be heard at the next meeting of the war board. It is urged that all persons in the town having aA idea of suit able place to erect this monument should send in their ideas to the Der lin war bureau or to Miss Alice Hous lon of Berlia street.
 Petition Is Ready.
 The petition signed with 30 names nr local citizens asking the Washing ten pOstOffice department to inves- Ngate the conditions at the Berlin r0ston7cc has been recopied and is ready to be sent to the Washington officials. C. J. Boardman, who drew up the petition is determined to get better service for the community and states that he has just been through the first round with the local post master MT.

 Brest, France. Dear Mr. Jarvis:
 The different communications from the Berlin War Bureau reached me all right and are perfectly fine. The best of all was the Round Robin v which we received just at Christmas time when I had just reached Brest and was among strangers so that I felt lonesome and forlorn. It certainly was great to receive such a nice greet ing and I hope it came with as much appreciation to the others in the serv- ice over here.

Needless to say that the house is full of American soldiers and officers, day and night as they are all delighted to get a glimpse of an American girl and an American home and of course our friends most of them go home through here.
 It has been a very interesting eXpe rionce over here and the best of it is that the experiment of having women in the army is considered to be de- cided success, not only from the stand point of our work but also from the fact that wherever we are located there is an American home. Well, must close. Give my love to all the dear people in Berlin.
