NAVY HAD NEW BOAT
 ALMOST BUILT

LONDON. Dec. 2S Correspondence of the Associated Press) There is now lying at Clydebank. nearly com ploted. a remarkable hush" boat of tn" British navy. which, according to the shipping paper. Fair Play, is something notable in the history of naval architecture
 This is the Hood a battle cruiser of extraordinary size. speed and gun power. and which would. says Fair Play, have inaugurated new methods of naval fighting and shown the Ger mans that We are still far ahead of them in naval construction.
 The prospect of an early termina- ton of hostilities caused work to be ceased on this great vessel, but in or der to make room for merchant ship ping the Hood has been nearly com pleted and is now out of the fitting basin.
 Fair Play says the vessel lis under stood to be the finest combination of size, speed, gun power and light ar mor yet dreamed of, and farther ahead of the present hush boats'-the Cour ageous class than these were of the Lion and Tiger. As she lies at Clyde bank, the Hood seems to fill all the space which was at one time occu- pied by the Lusitania. and d war yes sel as long as the Lusitania-to say something notable in the history of nothing of her other features-is naval architecture"

OUR TROOPS ABROAD
 NOT WITHOUT FUNDS

LIVERPOOL. England, Dec 2S Correspondence of the Associated Press) s).-American soldiers ordered here since the signing of the armistice are not leaving England without funds. Most of them have some money, and some of them have considerable amounts.
 One Red Cross officer who has been here from London changing the money of the soldiers from bounds to dollars. in order that they may have the currency of their own money when they reach America, says:
 ''i have changed the money of thou sands of men, and not one of them had less than two months pay to take home with them. Some of them had as much as S100, while here and there was an especially thrifty fellow with $125. When 1t is remembered. ....ist the boys have been subjected to the temp. tations of buying souvenirs for the home folks in strange country, and that they have been paying war prices for all they bought, 1t can be seen they have done very well"

ALLIES MUST RID RUSSIA OF
 BOLSHEVlSM

LONDON. Dec. 30 Correspondence of the Associated Press) There is a wide divergence of opinion among English politicians and newspapers as to the attitude which the entente DOW. CTS should assume toward Soviet Russia.
 On the one hand is the view ex- pressed by Sir George Buchanan. Brit ish ambassador to Russia, who in a recent public speech urged that re. Inducements be recruited on yOlun- tary basis and be immediately sent to check the Bolsheviki. Sir George con tended that the allies must not desert Russia now. and that they would be untrue to the cause of democracy if of Bolshevism.
 At the opposite pole are Ramsay Mcdonald and such newspapers as the Manchester Guardian and London Daily News, which call for the imme- diate withdrawal of all entente forces and demand that Great Britain cease participation in military operations which they denouncc as interference in Russian internal politics.
 The majority of the press is gener- ally non.committal and contents itself with printing Russian news and re- training from an expression of opin- ion pending consideration of Russian policy by the peace conference.
 There appears to be widespread unwillingness among Englishmen to support any policy which may involve q continuation of military action on d large scale unless il be clearly estab, lished that such action is necessary to safeguard the entente victory. Nevertheless there seems to be q growing disposition in the press to regard the restoration of peace and order in Russia as q task which is necessary to insure the stability of central Europe.
 This is especially true since the manifestations of Bolshevism in Ger many and the attacks of the Bolshe- wiki upon E5thonia and other Russian territory vacuateh by the Germans.
 Tn" sian muddlc is regarded her" a= of the all-important sub jccts tt discussed at the peace conferci. and the average English man see. content to let the allied representatives, dispose of it without his advice.
