REDS CONTINUE
ATTACKS ALONG
-ESTH0NIAN Line
On Eastern Front Forces Of
BoIsheviki and Denikine
Ride Into Battle On Huge
SIedges.

London, Dec. IL. -Bolshevik at
tacks continue along the Esthonian
front south of the Gulf of Finland
and east Narva, according to an Of
fetal Esthonian statement issued
Wednesday night. Bitter fighting
has been going on along the Koros-
tell Feororovka hamburg sector, but
all attacks have been repulsed by
the Esthonians, it is said.
Bolshevik forces have again heavily
attacked the left flank of General
Denikine's army and driven the lat
ter's volunteer back to depth of so
or 40 miles of Kharkov and Poltava,
and are swinging around to the
southeast of Kiev, which also is
threatened from the northeast, ac-
cording to news from south Russia
The situation gives rise to anxiety.
On the Caucasus front, however,
the bolsheviki have been repulsed
before Tzaritzan with heavy losses.
Don Cossacks also have been sue
cessful in pushing back Reds.
On the eastern front the infantry
of both Denikine and the bolsheviki
is supplied with sledges, upon which
the men ride into battle. Because
of the severe weather little serious
fighting is going on here, the main
activity being artillery duels between
armored trains.
The Siberians have an enormous
amount of artillery, about one gun
to each 100 men, which is out OF all
proportion. It has been found nee
essary to discard some of the pieces
Reports from Irkutsk declare that
the new coalition government is
commanding general support.
Fierce guerrilla warfare, with re-
prisals on both sides, is reported ii
Daghestan. The relations between
General Denikine and the Georgian
republic are again strained, but it is
believed here that the difficulty will
be settled through the mediation Of
Great Britain.
London observers find difficulty If
interpreting the bolshevik new OF
fensive against the Esthonian front
although there are indications thai
something further is brewing. The
reds thus far have been repulsed
They are maintaining heavy artil
lery FIRE, however.
There is an inclination here to
ward the belief that the bolshevik
are trying to brighten the Baltic
states into signing a peace agree
ment at the conference now il
progress in Dorpat.

ADecial Cable Dispatch.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE departure of
the American peace delegation is
considered in all quarters here as
sounding the death knell to what
has come to be called Wilson'S
world Utopia"
Veteran dipiomatists, who long
ago predicted the league OF nations
would fall by its own weig hit, are
chuckling gleefully at what they re-
gard as the justification Of their
prophesies.
In the Echo de Paris Pertinax, a
leading writer on foreign affairs,
writes:
This (the return Of the American
delegates) means the return to the
medieval system of alliances. The
era of the magic but Elusive idea
of a league of nations, under which
we planned to assure world peace in
cooperation with the United States,
is over.
1.-THE skeleton face of the league
may remain, but alliances will be the
real force in the world. We have
been grossly misinformed regarding
the sentiment of America. We
should have learned from the result
of the 1918 elections what sort Of
fate was in store for the Wilson
league in America.
Now it is our duty to accept the
reasonable reservations proposed by
the. United States senate majority
These reservations cannot in any
manner hurt French interests, since
they slay the vain phantom of an
international organization"
Pertinax's remarks are character.
istic of the majority opinion in
France, which holds that the United
means to remain by the side of the
allies and help them enforce the
peace treaty. What happens to the
league of nations is of little or nc
interest to these commentators.

GERMANS REPLY.
TO ALLIED NOTE
IS C0NC|L|AT0RY
Believe Germany Is Attempt
ing to Get Modification
Of Scapa Flow
Issue.

Berlin, Dec. 12.-Germany's reply
to the last notes from the supreme
council of the peace conference has
been sent to Versailles. Nothing
has been given out relative to its
contents, aside from a hint that its
general tenor reciprocates the con-
ciliatory tone of the last COMMUNE
cation from the entente.
Reports state that the reply re-
news the governments disclaimer OF
responsibility for the sinking of in
termed German warships at Scapa
Flow and sets forth exceptions to
the supreme councils insistence up
on compensation for the scuttled
vessels.
Deny Scapa Flow Blame.
1t is said to claim that the objec-
tionable passage from the letter
from Admiral Won Trotha, head of
the German admiralty, to Admiral
Won Reuter-, commander of the Ger
man ships, was not translated prop
erly and that it was "out of context
with the rest of the letter"
On the proposition that Germany
sign the protocol to the peace treaty
and permit the issue involving the
selection of indemnity tonnage to
be adjusted later, it is reported the
note proposes that the latter be
forthwith submitted to a body of
experts. This stand is taken because
of the importance of the matter to
German harbor facilities. 1t is
hoped to obtain a concession of the
Scapa Flow issue and it is believed
the note indicates measure of OBJ
stinacy over yielding on this point.
Not Interested In U. S.
Reports declare that there are no
intimations in the German reply
that the Berlin government has
taken a position that failure to ratify
the treaty by the United States has
created an altered situation, and it
is limited, it is said, that treaty ac-
ton by the United States is a purely
internal American affair that does
not absolve the other powers from
the obligation of exchanging rati-
hcations.
Belief is expressed here that the
reply attempts to temporize in an
effort to obtain modification of
the demand for indemnity for yes
sells sunk at Scapa Flow. It is said
also that the reply seeks to per-
suade the entente that demands for
the extradition of German officers

Prominent Paris Newspaper Declares Event Means
Return to Medieval System Of Alliances Of
Magic but Ilusive Idea of League of Nations,
Planned to Assure World Peace is Over

Lloyd George and Clemeneeau con-
ferred for four and hall hours on
the critical state of the allies, princl
pally as regards the economic crisis
as evidenced by the sensational tum-
bling of the French franc and the
English pound sterling in interna
tional exchange.
Not a word was announced by any
source as to what the two leading
statesmen of Europe discussed, but
from Downing street came informa-
ton that the whole peace situation
has been thoroughly gone into and
that, in view of Americas failure to
ratify the treaty of Versailles, ef-
forts would undoubtedly be made to
bring about a clearer understanding
between France and England.
Thursdays was but the first of Sc
ries of conferences of transcendentai
importance for all Europe and, in
directly, for the world.
The immediate problems connect
ed with the ratification of peace
and with Americas failure to ratify
--and an attempt to repair the Grip
pied state of Europe's finances,
which, bad enough ever since the
a-misticc, are now rapidly approach
ing a most menacing climax, stand
on top of the list of subjects to be
discussed by the two premiers and
believed already to have been gone
into by them at the conference.
The premiers, it is understood,
feel that France and Britain are
compelled to bear the brunt of hold
ing up the finances of most of Eu-
rope, even of the former central
empires, IN order to restore the eco
nomic life of the devastated CONT
nent.
The fundamental basis for such
reconstruction is to be, if Premier
Clemenccau has his way, the forma-
ton of : new European entente,
with France and Britain as the main
pillars and Italy a probable third.

About Poultry Feeding

The high prices of gram this past year have caused many poultry peoI!e to try different feeds and feeding from what might be called standard feeding. uN ey, as4
 From reports reaching the Pennsy, vania department of agriculture and the observations of the poultry ex- perts in its employ, these experiments In new or abbreviated feeding have mostly been a failure and have re- suited in much poultry having made an unprofltable growth and being puny and stunted.
 A notable exception is the feeding of boiled oats, which feed, previously used by only few poultry keepers, has become very popular. particularly among the larger poultry keepers hay ing much feeding to do.
 Boiled oats are greedily eaten by chickens of all ages; make a good growing and a good laying feed and in results obtained or obtainable are proving to be the cheapest food that has been available the last six months.
 Boiled oats have largely, too, super seded the sprouted oats so much ex- plotted few years ago. as they are safer, a better and less fussy feed.
 To prepare, soak good, heavy oats 12 hours or more Gin hot weather or a warm room fresh lot should be soaked daily), dissolve one table spoonful of salt in each bucket or water used for this; boil two or three hours and so gauge the amount of water used for soaking that at the finish the water Is boiled away. Feed warm, but not hot. White Leghorn bullets can have these boiled oats twice daily, say, at 10 a. m. and 4. D. m.. and all they will eat up clean. For old hens or heavyweight outlets, one feed a day is enough, and not too much at that, lest they become too fat on this much-liked feed.
