Kronstadt is fortress and seaport
at the head of the Gulf of Finland,
two miles west of Petrograd The for
tress was begun by Peter l, but has in
recent years been entirely rebuilt. The
port which was the chief station of the

the hands of the bolsheviki since the
soviet regime took power in December,
1917.

UNITED STATES
IS LEFT OUT
Cannot Be on Coordination
Commission Named by
Peace Conference
AFTER THE FORMAL
TREATY RATIFICATION
Admission to Commission Is
Held Up by Failure of
Senate to Ratify

Paris, Thursday, Oct l6 (By the Asso-
ciated Press Immediately after form
al ratification of the treaty of peace
with Germany, the supreme council of
the peace conference will probably name
coordination commission, the duties
of which will be to decide what bodies
shall have jurisdiction over matters not
definitely assigned by the treaty. This
commission will, in way, carry on
part of the work which has been per-
formed by the supreme council, which is
expected to close within six weeks.
Manifesty, the United States cannot
be represented on this coordination
commission until she ratifies the treaty.
General regret is apparent over the inn
possibility to start all the commissions
created under the treaty with full
membership from the great powers, as
il would be much simpler if all the per-
ma9ent members of the various COM
missions could begin work simultaneous
| ly. In the Rhineland, the Belgian,
French and British members of the in
terallied commission, of which an Amer
lean will be the fourth member, will
probably be empowered by their govern
ments to proceed with civil administra-
ton in spite of the fact the Rhineland
convention requires American co-opera-
tion.
In American occupied territory mill
tary control will be continued by com
mon consent until the United States
Senate ratifes the treaty and makes the
establishment Of civil government pos
sible
The coordination commission will
have lesser powers THAI, those held by
the supreme council. It's members will
not be plenipotentiaries, but will be re-
quired to refer important matters to
their various foreign offices for decision
| This commission will deal only with
matters relating to the German treaty,
and will not indulge in the general dis
cussion of Russian, Turkish or other in
ternational problems. The creation of
! the coordination commission will end
the international foreign office" as the
/ supreme council has been termed. The
various foreign offices viii function as
usual.
The work of the American delegation
. viii be largely advisory, but there is a
general disposition to consult American
representatives on all important matters
relative to the execution of the treaty
/ terms.

KRONSTADT FALL
NOT CONFIRMED
British Admiralty Has Re-

IN THAT VICINITY
A Stockholm Report Stated
That British Had En-
tered Fortress

London, Oct 17.-Confrmatim of re-
ports that British naval forces have tax
en- the fortress of Kronstadt on the Gulf
of Finland, west of Petrograd has not
been received at the admiralty offices
here. Dispatches telling of the capitu-
lating of Kronstadt are not credited, it
being said the British have only light
cruisers in the vicinity which are in
capable of successfully challenging the
fortress Admiralty officials state there
was no reason for a British attack on
the place
Bolshevik troops are said to have cap
tured Kiev, but in this region the situa-
ton is obscure. 1t was reported last
week that Kiev was in the hands of
General Petlura's Ukrainian army, which
advanced against General Denikines left
flank following Petluras declaration of
war on the Cossack chieftain..
Further details of the situation of
Moscow have not been received but it
appears the bolshevik armies in that re-
gion are launching counter attacks
against IttlIhInt ilitos W Fth
the exception of the capture of Kiev,
the bolsheviki seem to have been re-
pulsed along the new front.
There is also some uncertainty as to
the exact situation in Lithuania, where
Russian and Lithuanian troops have been
modified. Lithuanian troops have been
ordered to advance against Shawl in the
government Of kovno If this move
should be carried out the Lithuanians
would be in rear of the Germano Rus
sian forces which advanced against Riga
last week and have since last Friday
been fighting Lettish and Esthonian
troops in that city
In the meantime Admiral Kolchak,
head Of the all Russian government at
Omsk and commander of the bolshe-
vik elements on the eastern Russian
front, is advancing rapidly in pursuit

line of battle in this region has not been
reported recently but it is known to be

GREAT. TOBACCO
CROP THIS YEAR
Is Forecast By Cincinnati En-
quirer On Reports From All
Producing Sections.

A tremendous crop of tobacco thi
year is forecast by the Cincinnati En-
quirer's annual tobacco review mad,
public today. The Enquirer investi
gates carefully conditions all over it,
tobacco producing sections, and it.
figures are usually very accurate
What it says will be of interest here
especially in regard to the hurley pro
ductiOn. Its forecast says-in part:
The tobacco crop of the United
States will be larger this year thar
it was in 1918, if the statistics gather
ed by The Enquirer in every tobacco
producing section of the country are
to be regarded as rejecting the actua
acreage planted. A crop report al
planting time can be taken only as 6
basis for making estimates of the
probable production at harvest time
but The Enquirer's tobacco crop es.
Inmates in previous years have in.
variably been substantiated by the
quantities of tobacco disposed of dur.
ing the following sales season in the
open makets. This year conditions
for the most part seem to have been
favorable to the setting out of the
crop in almost every section, and
while apparently there has been little
if any effort to materially increase the
acreage, growers generally were en-
couraged by the high prices paid for
1913 crop to prepare more ground
than last season. Kentucky, the
worlds largest single tobacco-grow
ing section, while establishing no new
,.oro,>d coa,,oc 70 hove COZ c,,% -,
largest crops. North Carolina will
run a close second to Kentucky this
year with an acreage almost as great
South Carolina reports alarge area set
to tobacco than in 1918, and Virginia
compares favorably with slight in
crease. Of the other important pro-
ducers, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ten
nessee seem to have set out smaller
crop than in 1918, with the greatest
proportionate shirnkage in the first
named.
Statistics carefully complied by
Enquirer from the reports of cores
pondents in every tobacco-producing
county in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana,
and from all the important gowing
states, indicate total area set to to-
bacco in the United States in 1919 of
1,564,704 acres. This is an increase
over the acreage reported FROM the
same sources for 1913 of 68,668 acres,
of almost 5 per cent.
An estimate of the probable hurley
yield for 1919, based upon average
yields in the different sections, may
be made at 278,352,S50 pounds, as
against total production reported
from the same sources for 1918 of
257 1868, $50 pounds, making an in
crease for the current year of 20,388,-
900 pounds, or 8 per cent. The
Governments final estimate of the
1918 hurley crop placed the acreage at
$50, 300, and the production at $780,
5000, both Of which figures are ex-
ceeded this year.
In the Burley Belt there will I'M
auestionably be a larger crop than
last year, though the incease may be
comparatively slight. A careful tabu-
lation of the reports received indicat-
es a distribution for the hurley belt as

COUNTY BOARD IN
ROW WITH THE
ASSESSOR
Kelly Takes Commissioners
to Task for Sweeping Re
ductions in Valuations of
Real Estaters.

As the result of differences of
opinion between County Assessor
Peter Kelly and the exalted gentle
men who comprise our board of
county commissioners, over the
method of re-appraisement of tax
able property for assessment pur-
poses. the fact that the board of COM
missioners, when sitting as a board
OF equalization, reduced the valIa-
tions of property owned by the big
real estate interests by hundreds of
thousands of dollars, while MAIN
tanning the valuations placed on
smaller home owners.
In replying to a roast handed him
by the incompetents on the county
board. Assessor Kelly handed the
commissioners a solar plexus jolt
when he cited figures showing that
the board had cut the assessed valu-
ations for the real estate firms from
20 to so per cent from the figures
prepared by the assessors office.
Publication of the figures has furth-
er placed the commissioners i'll hot
water and has resulted in a number
of irate taxpayers calling up the COM
missoners and demanding to know
how about it,"
And the commissioners, appar-
entity, are very Wroth at the temerity
of any common citizens daring to
question the propriety of the boards

One woman, A taxpayer whose plea
for reduced valuation on her small
holdings was refused, called up the
