which have been imposed on the
handling of sugar and brought to an
end one more OF the war powers

White House officials refused to
speculate as to whether this was a
preliminary step to the abandonment
of other regulations put into force

Presidents report gave rise to such
a report. "A changed situation has

German Volunteers Turn
Lithuanian Battle Tide

Riga, Nov. 4.-The evacuation of
Kovno by the Lithuanians has been
suspended, owing to a Lithuanian
success over Gen. Zellgonskrs out
law army along the entire front.
The success is ascribed to the
Germans, who have been joining the
Lithuanian army by thousands. The
Prussians are equipped with German
arms and munitions stolen from the
badly guarded Reichswehr arsenaIs.
Notwithstanding the help they have
given against Zellgonski, the Lithu-
Ianian government fears these ad-
venturers may turn to marauding.

PREDICT SOCIALISTS
WILL BE GIVEN SEATS

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-That there
is little likelihood of the Socialists
who were elected last Tuesday be-
ing unseated when they present
their certificates Of election to the
mex, legislature was the prediction
this afternoon of one of the most
powerful of the Republican leaders.
This leader had been foremost in
the group who upheld the custer
proceedings of last winter.
THE next Republican governor
would vigorously oppose this and
as he will be the leader his wishes
in this respect win be obeyed," said
this leader. THE fact that the dis
tricts in which these FIVE men ran
want them as their representatives
in addition to the Socialists chang
ing their constitution by removing
some of the n-American principIes
will be regarded as sufficient for
seating them"
